DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

Review of Operations

Principal activities

The principal activity of the Company is mineral exploration in Utah, USA. The Company is exploring the prospective Frisco project located in Beaver County, Utah, for copper, gold, zinc, silver and associated minerals.

The Company secured the mineral rights to the Frisco Project over two years and became the first company to hold the mineral rights over the entire Frisco complex.

Historical mining activities focused on extensive outcropping copper-silver-gold bearing breccia pipes (Cactus area prospects) and extensive copper-zinc-lead-silver-gold bearing skarns (Accrington & Horn prospect) associated with possible underlying porphyry system/s. Historical exploration across the Frisco project has targeted each of the specific styles of mineralisation present – skarn, intrusive breccia, porphyry and carbonate replacement, with exploration often limited to specific areas within the Frisco area due to access constraints.

Summary of activities during the year Accrington

The Group commenced drilling at Accrington in June 2018, focussing on copper-zinc-silver bearing garnet-magnetite skarns and an interpreted possible buried porphyry target, identified by Induced Polarisation surveying. In November 2018. Due to the onset of winter the Group then moved drilling to lower elevations because of the risk of access difficulties on elevated roads, and drilled two holes at the Peacock and Washington prospects.

Road cuts on the access road to the top of the quartzite ridge at Accrington uncovered mineralised skarn. Channel sampling of the side of the road gave the following results:

  • 28m @ 0.33% Cu, 15 gpt Ag, 0.19 gpt Au

  • 10m @ 0.39% Cu, 12 gpt Ag

  • 16m @ 0.44% Cu, 16 gpt Ag, 0.12 gpt Au

  • 12m @ 0.33% Cu, 15 gpt Ag

Hole FR18-004 was completed in August 2018, which targeted a deeply buried, interpreted large (diameter 2.5 kms), coincident chargeability (IP) and resistivity high, suggesting a buried porphyry system. Although the hole intersected weak mineralisation and alteration, the source of the deep chargeability anomaly is not known from the one hole test. However, shallower mineralisation occurring in the Upper Garnet Skarn was intersected (102m @ 0.58%Cu, 0.6% Zn from 194m down hole depth) and confirms that the mineralised system continues to the east of the Imperial Mine where historical drilling was undertaken by Bear Creek Mining Company in 1967. Refer to ASX announcement dated 24 September 2018 for complete assay results and JORC reporting.

In October 2018 Alderan reported results for drill holes FR18-005 and FR18-006, which confirmed the continuation of thick garnet-skarn hosted copper-zinc-silver mineralisation.

FR18-005 was drilled to target the eastern limb of an interpreted syncline and to target the upper and lower garnet skarn. Significant intercepts included:

  • 40m @ 0.40% Cu, 0.60% Zn, 7 g/t Ag from 104m; and

  • 14m @ 0.25% Cu, 0.27% Zn, 6 g/t Ag from 180m

Drill hole FR18-006 was drilled from the same drill pad as FR18-004 and FR18-005 targeting the keel of the interpreted syncline and angled away from the Cactus Stock. Results were received for the first 206.5m and included:-

  • 26m @ 0.38% Cu, 3.06% Zn, 16 g/t Ag from 48m including 10m @ 0.52% Cu, 6.6% Zn, 32 g/t Ag, 0.11 g/t Au from 52m; and

  • 90.6m @ 0.41% Cu, 0.29% Zn, 7 g/t Ag from 116m to 206.6m

  • including 6m @ 1.8% Cu, 0.17% Zn, 29 g/t Ag, 0.18 g/t Au.

Refer to ASX announcement dated 22 October 2018 for full results and JORC reporting.

Further drilling focused to the south of the Cactus Stock directly targeting the lower garnet skarn which outcrops at surface at Accrington East where it hosts magnetite skarn with mineralisation.

In October 2018, Alderan announced that interpretation of geological, geochemical and geophysical data identified new base and precious metal targets in the southern parts of Accrington at the Washington, Peacock and Apex targets . These targets are located along a structural corridor historically named the “Reciprocity Shear Zone” at the southern edge of the 4km by 2km Accrington skarn.

Alderan Resources Limited

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

In November 2018 the Company reported results for drill hole FR18-007 which was drilled approximately 100m to the southeast from FR18-006, targeting the mineralisation within the upper garnet skarn. The drill hole intersected well mineralised magnetite and garnet skarn from 46m to 100m and variably mineralised skarn thereafter with the Cactus stock being intersected at 209m. Results include:-

  • 54m @ 1.4% Cu, 0.45% Zn, 0.19 g/t Au, 20 g/t Ag from 46m , Including 14m @ 3.4% Cu, 1.15% Zn, 0.22 g/t Au, 28 g/t Ag from 82m.

Further assays were also received for FR18-006 extending the zone of mineralisation beyond 206.5m to 216m. Refer to ASX announcement dated 14 November 2018 for full results and JORC reporting.

Drill hole FR18-008 tested for extensions of copper-zinc-silver mineralisation to the south-east returning 60m @ 0.22% Cu, 0.47% Zn, 0.21 g/t Au, 5.4 g/t Ag from 20m .

FR18-009 , was drilled to the south-west of FR18-004/5 intersecting a fault, indicating that mineralised beds may be faulted off in this location. Copper-zinc-silver mineralisation has been mapped at surface to the south of FR18-008 and FR18-009 indicating a continuation of mineralisation.

Full results and JORC disclosures for FR18-008 and FR18-009 were announced to the ASX on 30 January 2019.

==> picture [502 x 389] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 1: Results at Accrington confirm thick copper-zinc-silver bearing skarn across more than 800m strike.

From results to date it appears that copper mineralisation at Accrington is strongly related to late stage retrograde alteration and exhibits strong structural controls. Mineralisation is therefore unlikely to be restricted to specific stratigraphic units. Copper mineralisation, associated with magnetite, also occurs approximately 2km to the west at the Cupric Mine, demonstrating that copper may be more widespread.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

Washington & Peacock Prospects

At the Washington Prospect , a total of two holes were drilled following completion of drilling at Accrington. The first hole, FR18-010 was drilled to target stratigraphically and structurally controlled lead-zinc-silver mineralisation, as intersected in historical drilling, along with a zone of increased chargeability (>15 mV/V) at depth, possibly representing a zone of higher sulphide content associated with a several kilometre long structure historically named the Reciprocity Corridor.

Drilling intersected a broad zone of lead-zinc-silver mineralisation within calc-silicate skarn before intersecting a porphyritic intrusive, fault zone and quartzite with moderate to strong iron oxides along fractures. Results from FR18-010 returned 30m @ 0.89% Pb, 0.25% Zn, 19.5 g/t Ag, 0.12 g/t Au from 6m; including 14m @ 1.54% Pb, 0.32% Zn, 36.5 g/t Ag, 0.19 g/t Au.

FR18-011 was drilled to target a structure hosting mineralisation at the historical Washington Mine and to test for higher temperature mineralised garnet skarn at depth. FR18-011 intersected variably mineralised calc-silicate skarn to 196m and brown-garnet skarn to 250m. Numerous faults and breccia zones were intersected between 131m and 207m hosting pyrite and sphalerite. Assay results returned several broad intercepts of weak zinc mineralisation including some elevated molybdenum including 50m @ 0.2% Zn from 78m and 16m @ 305 ppm Mo from 160m.

Following cessation of drilling, the Group continues to undertake a detailed review of the results of the 2018 drilling programme at Frisco and conducted additional mapping by an independent consultant. Targets of high interest arising from this include (see Announcement 12 March 2019)

  • New Years Breccia pipe

  • South West Zone (gold-tourmaline breccias)

  • The Copperopolis Prospect (gold tourmaline breecia system, historic mineralisation overs hundreds of meters, coincident IP anomaly and magnetic low)

  • Accrington Skarn area

  • Proximal Horn Lead-Silver Mine (Manto style mineralisation)

  • Copper King Prospect and extensions.

The company conducted and continues to conduct a review of opportunities in the surrounding areas. The review has led to the 100% staking of the White Mountain Epithermal Gold Project, located 10km SW of Frisco.

The company is reviewing the gold paragenesis and zoning in the mineralising systems peripheral to Frisco.

White Mountain Epithermal Gold Project

The White Mountain Gold prospect is a 5 kilometre long, outcropping epithermal system showing many attributes of a large, fully preserved epithermal gold/ silver system. Sinter terraces, large zones of chalcedony/quartz and argillite/alunite alteration occur over approximately 5km by 2km at surface indicate an upper level setting of the system with the potential of a larger hydrothermal system preserved at depth. Alunite has been historically mined in larger quantities in the area and historical minor workings for gold exist.

The epithermal systems shows evidence of a high level setting of a large, epithermal system, which is a style of deposit seen in the nearby blind Midas discovery in Nevada[1] .

Future Exploration

The Company is continuing to assess the results from the previous 100 years of mining and exploration at Frisco and in the surrounding areas, to gain a better understanding of the mineralising systems, and the mineral potential. The company is conducting detailed mapping, geochemical sampling and a ground geophysical program, within the targeted areas at Frisco and at the Copper King areas, with the objective to define and refine commercially significant drill targets. A drill program, incorporating the recommendations of this review and detailed mapping is currently being planned.

The Company continues to review its options to fund future exploration at its Frisco, Star Range and White Mountain projects.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) (continued)

Remuneration Policy

The Company’s remuneration policy for its KMP has been developed by the Board taking into account the size of the Company, the size of the management team, the nature and stage of development of the Company’s current operations, and market conditions and comparable salary levels for companies of a similar size and operating in similar sectors.

In addition to considering the above general factors, the Board has also placed emphasis on the following specific issues in determining the remuneration policy for KMP:

  • Exploration results; and

  • The performance of the Company’s shares as quoted on the Australian Securities Exchange.

Remuneration Committee

Due to the current size of the Company, the Board did not implement a Remuneration Committee during the year, as such the Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the Directors and the executive team.

Remuneration structure

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive Director and executive remuneration is separate and distinct.

Non-executive Director Remuneration

The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level that provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain Directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost that is acceptable to shareholders.

The ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of non-executive Directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. The Constitution states that the Company may pay to the Non-Executive Directors a maximum total amount of director's fees, determined by the Company in general meeting, or until so determined, as the Directors resolve. The Company intends to put to shareholders at the upcoming Annual General Meeting an aggregate remuneration amount to approve.

Fees for the Non-Executive Directors’ are presently set at $250,000 per annum including superannuation. These fees cover main board activities only. Non-Executive Directors may receive additional remuneration for other services provided to the Company.

The Non-Executive salary remuneration became effective from the date of their appointment as Non-Executive Directors. There were also Company Options issued to Non-Executive Directors in line with Company policy to attract suitable candidates to the position.

Executive Remuneration

The Company’s remuneration policy is to provide a fixed remuneration component and a short and long term performance based component. The Board believes that this remuneration policy is appropriate given the considerations discussed in the section above and is appropriate in aligning executives’ objectives with shareholder and business objectives.

Fixed Remuneration

Fixed remuneration consists of base salaries, as well as employer contributions to superannuation funds and other noncash benefits. Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Board. The process consists of a review of company and individual performance, relevant comparative remuneration externally and internally and, where appropriate, external advice on policies and practices.

Performance Based Remuneration – Short Term Incentive

The Board has not implemented a system where Executives are entitled to annual cash bonuses. No bonuses were paid or are payable in relation to the 2019 financial year.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) (continued)

Performance Based Remuneration – Long Term Incentive

Company Options

The Board has previously chosen to issue Options (where appropriate) to some executives and employees as a key component of the incentive portion of their remuneration, in order to attract and retain the services of the executives and to provide an incentive linked to the performance of the Company.

The Board may grant Options to executives and key consultants with exercise prices at and/or above market share price (at the time of agreement). As such, Incentive Options granted to executives will generally only be of benefit if the executives perform to the level whereby the value of the Company increases sufficiently to warrant exercising the Incentive Options granted. Other than service-based vesting conditions, there are no additional performance criteria on the Incentive Options granted to executives, as given the speculative nature of the Company’s activities and the small management team responsible for its running, it is considered the performance of the executives and the performance and value of the Company are closely related. The Company prohibits executives entering into arrangements to limit their exposure to Incentive Options granted as part of their remuneration package.

Long-Term Incentive Plan

The Company has implemented a Long-Term Incentive Plan. Under the Plan, the Company may grant options to subscribe for Shares or performance rights entitling the holder to be issued Shares on terms and conditions set by the Board at its discretion.

The material terms of the Plan are as follows:

  • (a) The purpose of the Plan are:

  • (i) assist in the reward, retention and motivation of eligible persons;

  • (ii) to align the interests of eligible persons more closely with the interests of shareholders, by providing an opportunity for eligible persons receive an equity interest in the form of Awards; and

  • (iii) to provide eligible persons with the opportunity to share in any future growth in value of Alderan Resources.

(b) The following persons can participate in the Plan if the Board makes them an offer to do so:

  • (i) a director;

  • (ii) a full-time or part-time employee;

  • (iii) a contractor; or

  • (iv) a casual employee

  • of the Company or an associated body corporate and includes a person who may become an eligible person within (i) to (iv) above subject to accepting an offer of engagement for that role.

(c) Plan Options and Plan Rights (collectively Awards) issued under the Plan are subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Rules, which include:

  • (i) Vesting Conditions – which are time-based criteria, requirements or conditions (as specified in the offer and determined by the Board) which must be met prior to Awards vesting in a participant, which the Board may throughout the course of the period between the grant of an Award and its vesting, waive or accelerate as the Board considers reasonably appropriate;

  • (ii) Performance Conditions – which are conditions relating to the performance of the Group and its related bodies corporate (and the manner in which those conditions will be tested) as specified in an offer and determined by the Board; and

  • (iii) Exercise Conditions – which are criteria, requirements or conditions, as determined by the Board or under the Plan, which must be met (notwithstanding the satisfaction of any Vesting Conditions and/or Performance Conditions) prior to a Participant being entitled to exercise vested Awards in accordance with clauses 8 and 9.

(d) In accordance with ASIC Class Order 14/1000, the total Awards that may be issued under the Plan will not exceed 5% of the total number of Shares on issue. In calculating this limit, Awards issued to participants under the Plan other than in reliance upon this Class Order are discounted.

(e) The Board has the unfettered and absolute discretion to administer the Plan.

(f) Awards issued under the Plan are not transferable and will not be quoted on the ASX.

The Rules otherwise contain terms and conditions considered standard for long-term incentive plan rules of this nature. There were no options issued under the Long-Term Incentive Plan during the year (2018: 1,850,000). There were no shares issued under the Long-Term Incentive Plan during the year (2018: Nil).

  • Entitlement to severance and redundancy package payments shall continue to be calculated based on previous annual salary of US$216,000.

Relationship between Remuneration of KMP and Shareholder Wealth and Earnings

The Board anticipates that the Company will retain earnings (if any) and other cash resources for the development of its exploration projects. The Company does not currently have a policy with respect to the payment of dividends and returns of capital however this will be reviewed on an annual basis. Therefore, there was no relationship between the Board’s policy for determining, or in relation to, the nature and amount of remuneration of KMP and dividends paid and returns of capital by the Company during the current and previous four financial years.

The Company did not consider appreciation of the Company’s shares when setting remuneration.

The Board did issue Options to Key Management Personnel and has implemented a Long-Term Incentive Plan which will generally be of value if the Company’s shares appreciate over time. However, it should be noted that all Director Options have been imposed in escrow (sale) restriction period of up to two years. This is in line with the Company policy that Company Options be used for long term incentive for Directors.

On 21 August 2019 the Group announced that Mr Tom Eadie is to step down as Executive Chairman and that Mr Peter Williams was appointed as Managing Director.

Other than disclosed above, the directors are not aware of any matters or circumstances not otherwise dealt with in this report or consolidated financial statements that have significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the Group in subsequent financial periods.

Non-audit services

Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the financial year by the auditor are outlined in note 20 to the financial statements.

The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the financial year, by the auditor (or by another person or firm on the auditor's behalf), is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparation

These consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 , Accounting Standards and Interpretations and comply with other requirements of the law.

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Alderan Resources Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiary (collectively referred to as the “Group” or “consolidated entity”). For the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Company is a for-profit entity.

The accounting policies detailed below have been consistently applied to all of the years presented unless otherwise stated.

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis. Historical cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

Going concern

These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

As disclosed in the financial statements, the Group incurred a loss of $4,167,457 and had net cash outflows from operating activities of $4,969,590 for the year ended 30 June 2019. As at that date, the Group had net current assets of $185,034. The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is principally dependent upon the ability of the Group to secure funds by raising additional capital from equity markets and managing cash flows in line with available funds.

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

The Directors believe that it is reasonably foreseeable that the Group will continue as a going concern and that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial report after consideration of the following factors:

  • As disclosed in Note 13, on 7 August 2019, the Company issued 17,597,773 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.032 per share to raise $563,129 via a share placement. These shares were issued to participants in a placement to sophisticated and professional investors.

  • The Group has the ability to issue additional equity securities under the Corporations Act 2001 to raise further working capital; and

  • The Group has the ability to curtail administrative, discretionary exploration and overhead cash outflows as and when required.

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

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

Adoption of new and revised standards

Standards and Interpretations applicable to 30 June 2019

For the year ended 30 June 2019, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Group and effective for the current annual reporting period.

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and AASB 9 Financial Instruments became mandatorily effective on 1 January 2018. Accordingly, these standards apply for the first time to this set of financial statements. The Directors have determined that there is no material impact of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Group and, therefore, no material change is necessary to Group accounting policies.

Any new or amended standards and interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

27

Alderan Resources Limited

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted

A number of Australian Accounting Standards that have been issued or amended but are not yet effective have not been adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2019. The effect of these new or amended Accounting Standards is expected to give rise to additional disclosures and new policies being adopted. Refer below for the Standards relevant to the Company that are not yet effective and have not been early adopted.

AASB 16 Leases

This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The standard replaces AASB 117 'Leases' and for lessees will eliminate the classifications of operating leases and finance leases. Subject to exceptions, a 'right-of-use' asset will be capitalised in the statement of financial position, measured at the present value of the unavoidable future lease payments to be made over the lease term. The exceptions relate to short-term leases of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets (such as personal computers and small office furniture) where an accounting policy choice exists whereby either a 'right-of-use' asset is recognised or lease payments are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. A liability corresponding to the capitalised lease will also be recognised, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of any future restoration, removal or dismantling costs. Straight-line operating lease expense recognition will be replaced with a depreciation charge for the leased asset (included in operating costs) and an interest expense on the recognised lease liability (included in finance costs). In the earlier periods of the lease, the expenses associated with the lease under AASB 16 will be higher when compared to lease expenses under AASB 117. However EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation) results will be improved as the operating expense is replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit or loss under AASB 16. For classification within the statement of cash flows, the lease payments will be separated into both a principal (financing activities) and interest (either operating or financing activities) component. For lessor accounting, the standard does not substantially change how a lessor accounts for leases. The Group will adopt this standard from 1 July 2019 and the impact of its adoption is expected to be minimal on the Group.

Statement of compliance

The financial report was authorised for issued in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 28 September 2019.

The financial report 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, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Significant accounting judgments and key estimates

The application of accounting policies requires the use of judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if it affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Share-based payment transactions

The consolidated entity 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 share-based 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.

Exploration and Evaluation

Exploration and evaluation costs have been capitalised on the basis that activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves. Key judgements are applied in considering costs to be capitalised which includes determining expenditures directly related to these activities and allocating overheads between those that are expensed and capitalised.

Parent entity information

In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the consolidated entity only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 20.

Alderan Resources Limited

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Alderan Resources Limited ('company' or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2019 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Alderan Resources Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'Group' or consolidated entity’.

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

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

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent.

Where the group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non-controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The group recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss.

Foreign currency translation

The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Group's functional and presentation currency.

Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.

Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at the reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the average exchange rates, which approximate the rates at the dates of the transactions, for the period. All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity.

The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company is expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the company: identifies the contract with a customer; identifies the performance obligations in the contract; determines the transaction price which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money; allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service to be delivered; and recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised.

Interest

Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

Other revenue

Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established

Alderan Resources Limited

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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 adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for:

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

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

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

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

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

Current and non-current classification

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

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

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

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.

Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.

The Group has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days overdue.

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses.

Alderan Resources Limited

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Investments and other financial assets

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

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. When there is no reasonable expectation of recovering part or all of a financial asset, it's carrying value is written off.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

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

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

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

Impairment of financial assets

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

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

For financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance is recognised within other comprehensive income. In all other cases, the loss allowance is recognised in profit or loss.

Impairment of non-financial assets

Non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit.

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Depreciation is calculated on a diminishing value basis to write off the net cost of each item of plant and equipment over their expected useful lives as follows:

Office equipment 3-5 years
Motor vehicles 7 years
Exploration equipment 3-5 years

An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the consolidated entity. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss. Any revaluation surplus reserve relating to the item disposed of is transferred directly to retained profits.

Exploration and evaluation assets

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 year in which the decision is made.

Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated entity prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

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.

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.

Discontinued operations

A discontinued operation is a component of the consolidated entity that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The results of discontinued operations are presented separately on the face of the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Business combinations

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired.

The consideration transferred is the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree is measured at either fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred to profit or loss.

Business combinations (continued)

On the acquisition of a business, the consolidated entity assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the consolidated entity's operating or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions in existence at the acquisition-date.

Where the business combination is achieved in stages, the consolidated entity remeasures its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at the acquisition-date fair value and the difference between the fair value and the previous carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at the acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is recognised in profit or loss. Contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.

The difference between the acquisition-date fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of any pre-existing investment in the acquiree is recognised as goodwill. If the consideration transferred and the pre-existing fair value is less than the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, being a bargain purchase to the acquirer, the difference is recognised as a gain directly in profit or loss by the acquirer on the acquisition-date, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, if any, the consideration transferred and the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquirer.

Business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The acquirer retrospectively adjusts the provisional amounts recognised and also recognises additional assets or liabilities during the measurement period, based on new information obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition-date. The measurement period ends on either the earlier of (i) 12 months from the date of the acquisition or (ii) when the acquirer receives all the information possible to determine fair value.

Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes

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

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

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority.

Leases

The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.

A distinction is made between finance leases, which effectively transfer from the lessor to the lessee substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of leased assets, and operating leases, under which the lessor effectively retains substantially all such risks and benefits.

Finance leases are capitalised. A lease asset and liability are established at the fair value of the leased assets, or if lower, the present value of minimum lease payments. Lease payments are allocated between the principal component of the lease liability and the finance costs, so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

Leased assets acquired under a finance lease are depreciated over the asset's useful life or over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term if there is no reasonable certainty that the consolidated entity will obtain ownership at the end of the lease term.

Operating lease payments, net of any incentives received from the lessor, are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Share-based payments

Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees and key management personnel.

Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares that are provided to employees and key management personnel in exchange for the rendering of services. Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash for the exchange of services, where the amount of cash is determined by reference to the share price.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do not determine whether the consolidated entity receives the services that entitle the employees and key management personnel to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions.

The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods.

The cost of cash-settled transactions is initially, and at each reporting date until vested, determined by applying either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into consideration the terms and conditions on which the award was granted. The cumulative charge to profit or loss until settlement of the liability is calculated as follows:

  • during the vesting period, the liability at each reporting date is the fair value of the award at that date multiplied by the expired portion of the vesting period.

  • from the end of the vesting period until settlement of the award, the liability is the full fair value of the liability at the reporting date.

All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss. The ultimate cost of cash-settled transactions is the cash paid to settle the liability.

Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore any awards subject to market conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are satisfied.

If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.

If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the group, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the consolidated entity or employee / key management personnel, and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited.

If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award is treated as if they were a modification.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of Alderan Resources Limited, 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 financial year.

Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other 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.

NOTE 17: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

a) Overview

The Group's principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables, cash and cash equivalents. The main risks arising from the Company's financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk and foreign currency risk. This note presents information about the Company's exposure to each of the above risks, its objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital. Other than as disclosed, there have been no significant changes since the previous financial year to the exposure or management of these risks.

The Group manages its exposure to key financial risks in accordance with the Company's risk management policy. Key financial risks are identified and reviewed annually and policies are revised as required. The overall objective of the Company's risk management policy is to recognise and manage risks that affect the Company and to provide a stable financial platform to enable the Company to operate efficiently.

The Group does not enter into derivative transactions to mitigate the financial risks. In addition, the Company's policy is that no trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken for the purposes of making speculative gains. As the Company's operations change, the Directors will review this policy periodically going forward.

The Directors have overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. The Directors review and approve policies for managing the Company's financial risks as summarised below.

NOTE 17: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

b) Capital risk management

The Company manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. The Company’s overall strategy remains unchanged from prior years. The capital structure of the Company consists of debt, cash and cash equivalents and equity, comprising issued capital, reserves and retained earnings (accumulated losses). Operating cash flows are used to maintain and expand operations, as well as to make routine expenditures such as tax, dividends and general administrative outgoings.

Gearing levels are reviewed by the Board on a regular basis in line with its target gearing ratio, the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital.

c) Credit Risk

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

The Company only transacts with entities that are rated the equivalent of investment grade and above. This information is supplied by independent rating agencies where available and, if not available, the Company uses publicly available financial information and its own trading record to rate its major customers.

The Company does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any Company of counterparties having similar characteristics.

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. This arises principally from cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables.

There are no significant concentrations of credit risk within the Company. The carrying amount of the Company's financial assets represents the maximum credit risk exposure, as represented below:

Trade and other receivables are comprised primarily of sundry receivables and GST refunds due. Where possible the Company trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties

With respect to credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents, the Company's exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counter party, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments.

d) Interest Rate Risk

The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the bank deposits with floating interest rate.

These financial assets with variable rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. All other financial assets and liabilities, in the form of receivables and payables are non-interest bearing.

The Company currently does not engage in any hedging or derivative transactions to manage interest rate risk.

Interest rate sensitivity

A sensitivity of 0.1% (10 basis points) has been selected as this is considered reasonable given the current level of both short term and long term interest rates. A 1% (100 basis points) movement in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased (decreased) equity and profit and loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency rates, remain constant. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2018.

e) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Board's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that the Company will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

The contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments, are provided below. There are no netting arrangements in respect of financial liabilities.

f) Foreign Exchange Risk

The Company has an exposure to foreign exchange rates given that the Company operates in the United States of America. A fluctuation in foreign exchange rates may affect the cost base of the costs and expenses of the company. The carrying amounts of the Company’s foreign currency denominated monetary liabilities as at the reporting date expressed in Australian dollars are as follows:

stralian dollars are as follows:
US dollar denominated balances 30 June 2019
$

30 June 2018
$
504,950

Foreign currency sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis below details the Company’s sensitivity to an increase/decrease in the Australian Dollar against the United States Dollar. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items. A 100 basis point is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to management and represents management’s assessment of the possible change in foreign exchange rates.

At reporting date, if foreign exchange rates had been 100 basis points higher or lower and all other variables held constant, the Company’s loss will increase/decrease by $660 (2018: $5,049); and net assets will increase/decrease by $660 (2018: $5,049).

The Company’s sensitivity to foreign exchange rates has not changed significantly from prior year.

g) Fair values

The net fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities approximates their carrying value. The methods for estimating fair value are outlined in the relevant notes to the financial statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ALDERAN RESOURCES LIMITED

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Alderan Resources Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors' declaration.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

  • (i) Giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 30 June 2019 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and

  • (ii) Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the 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 confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 1, which indicates that the Group incurred a loss of $4,167,457 and had net cash outflows from operating activities of $4,969,590 for the year ended 30 June 2019. As at that date, the Group had net current assets of $185,034. As stated in Note 1, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed this matter
Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
Refer to Note 9 in the financial report
The
Group
has
capitalised
exploration
and
evaluation expenditure with a carrying value of
$9,330,402 as at 30 June 2019.
We considered this to be a key audit matter due to
the significant management judgments involved in
assessing the carrying value of the asset including:
Determination of whether the expenditure can be
associated
with
finding
specific
mineral
resources, and the basis on which that
expenditure is allocated to an area of interest;
Determination of whether exploration activities
have progressed to the stage at which the
existence of an economically recoverable
mineral reserve may be assessed; and
Assessing whether any indicators of impairment
are present, and if so, judgments applied to
determine and quantify any impairment loss.
Our audit procedures included:

Obtaining evidence that the Group has valid rights
to explore in the specific area of interest;

Reviewing and enquiring with management the
basis on which they have determined that the
exploration and evaluation of mineral resources has
not yet reached the stage which permits a
reasonable assessment of the existence or
otherwise of economically recoverable reserves;

Enquiring with management and reviewing budgets
and other documentation as evidence that active
and significant operations in, or relation to, the area
of interest will be continued in the future;

Agreeing a sample of additions to supporting
documentation and ensuring the amounts are
capital in nature and relate to the area of interest;
and

Critically assessing and evaluating management’s
assessment that no indicators of impairment
existed.

Other Information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group's annual report for the year ended 30 June 2019, but does not include the financial report and the auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

==> picture [118 x 62] intentionally omitted <==

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 Corporation Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group 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 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.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at: http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar2.pdf. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

Report on the Remuneration Report

Opinion on the Remuneration Report

We have audited the Remuneration Report included within the directors' report for the year ended 30 June 2019. In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Alderan Resources Limited, for the year ended 30 June 2019, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.

Responsibilities

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.

The Board is committed to administering the policies and procedures with openness and integrity, pursuing the true spirit of corporate governance commensurate with the Company's needs. To the extent applicable, our Company has adopted the Recommendations.

No. PRINCIPLES AND RECOMMENDATIONS
(Summary)
COMPLIES COMMENT
1. LAY SOLID FOUNDATIONS FOR MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT
1.1 A listed entity should disclose the respective roles
and
responsibilities
of
its
board
and
management; and those matters expressly
reserved to the board and those delegated to
management.
Yes The Board is ultimately accountable for the performance of the Company and provides leadership and sets
the strategic objectives of the Company. It appoints all senior executives and assesses their performance
on at least an annual basis. It is responsible for overseeing all corporate reporting systems, remuneration
frameworks, governance issues, and stakeholder communications. Decisions reserved for the Board relate
to those that have a fundamental impact on the Company, such as material acquisitions and takeovers,
dividends and buybacks, material profits upgrades and downgrades, and significant closures.
The Company has developed a Board Charter which sets out the roles and responsibilities of the Board, a
copy of which is available on the Company's website.
1.2 A listed entity should:
(a) undertake
appropriate
checks
before
appointing a person, or putting forward to
security holders a candidate for election, as
a director; and
(b) provide security holders with all material
information in its possession relevant to a
decision on whether or not to elect or re-elect
a director.
Yes The Company undertakes comprehensive reference checks prior to appointing a director or putting that
person forward as a candidate to ensure that person is competent, experienced, and would not be impaired
in any way from undertaking the duties of a director.
In addition, the Company’s Nomination Committee Charter establishes accountability for requiring
appropriate checks of potential directors to be carried out before appointing that person or putting them
forward as a candidate for election, and this will be undertaken with respect to all future appointments.
1.3 A listed entity should have a written agreement
with each director and senior executive setting
out the terms of their appointment.
Yes The Company maintains written agreements with each of its Directors and senior executives setting out
their roles and responsibilities and the terms of their appointment.

The Company recognises the importance of equal employment opportunity. The Company's corporate code
of conduct provides a framework for undertaking ethical conduct in employment. Under the corporate code
of conduct, the Company will not tolerate any form of discrimination or harassment in the workplace.
However, the Company has determined to not initially adopt a formal policy and establish measurable
objectives for achieving gender diversity (and accordingly, will not initially be in a position to report against
measurable objectives). The Board considers that its approach to gender diversity and measurable
objectives is justified by the current nature, size and scope of the business, but will consider in the future,
once the business operations of the Company mature, whether a more formal approach to diversity is
required.
The Company currently has no female board members or senior executives.
A listed entity should:

majority of whom are independent and is chaired
by an independent director.
If it does not have a nomination committee, the
Board should disclose that fact and the processes

a Nomination Committee for the short to medium term. The Board will consider establishing a Nomination
Committee when the size and complexity of the Company’s operations and management warrant it. In the
meantime, the Company has adopted a Nomination Committee Charter and Remuneration Committee

independent.
However, the Company is confident that current composition of the Board is optimal for its current level of
operations, and is therefore in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The Board will review
the balance of independence on the Board on an on-going basis, and will implement changes at its discretion
having regard to the Company’s growth and changing management and operational circumstances.
2.5 The chair of the board of a listed entity should be
an independent director and, in particular, should
not be the same person as the CEO of the entity

2.6 A listed entity should have a program for inducting
new
directors
and
provide
appropriate
professional
development
opportunities

employs that independently verify and safeguard
the integrity of its corporate reporting, including
the processes for the appointment and removal of
the external auditor and the rotation of the audit
engagement partner.
Yes The Board has not established a separate audit committee. Given the present size of the Company and the
scale of its operations, the Board has decided that the full Board can adequately discharge the functions of
an audit committee. The Board will establish an Audit Committee when the size and complexity of the
Company’s operations and management warrant it.
In the meantime, the Board has adopted an Audit and Risk Committee Charter, which includes specific
responsibilities relating to audit and risk, and which the Board uses as a guide when acting in the capacity
of the Audit Committee.
The Company’s Audit and Risk Committee Charter is available on the Company’s website.
4.2 The board of a listed entity should, before it
approves the entity’s financial statements for a
financial period, receive from its CEO and CFO a
declaration that, in their opinion, the financial
records of the entity have been properly
maintained and that the financial statements
comply
with
the
appropriate
accounting
standards and give a true and fair view of the
financial position and performance of the entity
and that the opinion has been formed on the basis
of a sound system of risk management and
internal control which is operating effectively.
Yes The Board will continue to require a conforming declaration from the relevant key executive or executives
before it approves the entity’s financial statements for each financial period, consistent with practise to date.

option to receive communications from, and send
communications to, the entity and its security
registry electronically.
Yes The Company engages its share registry to manage the majority of communications with shareholders.

facilitating a more effective, efficient and environmentally friendly communication mechanism with
shareholders. Shareholders not already receiving information electronically can elect to do so through the
share registry, Automic Share Registry Pty Ltd atwww.automic.com.au.
7. RECOGNISE AND MANAGE RISK
7.1 The Board should establish a risk management

whether such a review has taken place.
Yes
The identification and management of risk has been continually at the forefront of the Company’s recent
activities.
In accordance with the Audit and Risk Committee Charter, the Board will review the Company’s risk
management framework on an annual basis. Such as review has not taken place since the Company
adopted its risk framework and listed on the ASX. The Company intends to conduct this review prior to its
next annual reporting date.
7.3
A listed entity should disclose:
(a) if it has an internal audit function, how the
function is structured and what role it
performs; or
(b) if it does not have an internal audit function,
that fact and the processes it employs for
evaluating and continually improving the
effectiveness of its risk management and
internal control processes.
Yes
Given the present size of the company, the Board has decided that a formal internal audit function is not
required for the time being.
The risk management functions employed by the Board are summarised above.
7.4
A listed entity should disclose whether it has any
material exposure to economic, environmental
and social sustainability risks and, if it does, how
it manages or intends to manage those risks.
Yes
The Company provides its material risks below, including exposure to economic, environmental and social

as restricted securities, the liquidity of the market for Shares may be adversely affected.
Limited exploration on the Frisco Project
Although there have been various phases of exploration across the Tenements that comprise the Frisco
Project, the prospects on which the Company are focusing are in the early stages of exploration and do not
contain any resources that are consistent with the current JORC Code guidelines. Further evaluation of
data and exploration is required to determine whether any historical mineralisation estimates within the
licences may be upgraded to be consistent with the current JORC Code guidelines.
Exploration and evaluation risks
Mineral exploration, development and mining activities are high-risk undertakings. There can be no
assurance that exploration on these Tenements, or any other claims or leases that may be acquired in the
future, will result in the discovery of an economic ore deposit. Even if an apparently viable deposit is
identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited.

Title risks

Mineral rights in the USA may be owned by private parties, local government, state government, federal government, or indigenous groups. Verifying the chain of title for USA mineral rights can be complex and may require that remedial steps be taken to correct any defect in title. Securing exploration and extraction rights to federally-owned mineral rights requires strict adherence to claim staking and maintenance requirements. The Company has taken reasonable steps to verify the title to the Tenements in which it has, or has a right to acquire, an interest. Although these steps are in line with market practice for exploration projects such as the Frisco Project, they do not guarantee title to the Tenements nor guarantee that the Tenements are free of any third party rights or claims.

Future capital requirements

The Company's activities are likely to require substantial expenditure, in additional to the amounts raised under the Offer. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to Shareholders and any debt financing if available may involve restrictive covenants, which may limit the Company's operations and business strategy.

Although the Directors believe that additional capital can be obtained, there can be no assurance that appropriate capital or funding, if and when needed, will be available on terms favourable to the Company or at all. The Company's failure to raise capital if and when needed could delay or suspend the Company's business strategy and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's activities.

Reliance on key personnel

The Company’s future depends, in part, on its ability to attract and retain key personnel. Its future also depends on the continued contributions of its executive management team and other key management and technical personnel, the loss of whose services would be difficult to replace. In addition, the inability to continue to attract appropriately qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

Fluctuations in Commodity prices

The Company’s business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations are heavily dependent on prevailing metals prices, particularly copper. There can be no assurance that the existing level of metals prices will be maintained in the future. Any future declines, even relatively modest ones, in metals prices could adversely affect the Company's business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Exchange rate risks

The Company operates in multiple currencies and exchanges rates are constantly fluctuating. International prices of various commodities, as well as the exploration expenditure of the Company are denominated in United States dollars, whereas the Company will rely principally on funds raised and accounted for in Australian currency, exposing the Company to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the Australian dollar as determined in international markets. Other industry specific risks

The Company’s activities are subject to a number of risks common to the conduct of mining exploration and the financing of mining exploration activities, including but not limited to:

risks inherent in resource estimation;
(b)

(c)
environmental risks;
(d)

(f)
competition risks.
8. REMUNERATE FAIRLY AND RESPONSIBLY
8.1 The board should establish a remuneration
committee which has at least three members, a
majority of whom are independent and which is
chaired by an independent director.
If it does not have a remuneration committee,
disclose that fact and the processes it employs for
setting the level and composition of remuneration
for directors and senior executives and ensuring
that such remuneration is appropriate and not
excessive
Yes The Board has not established a separate remuneration committee. Given the present size of the company,
the Board has decided that the full Board can adequately discharge the functions of a remuneration
committee for the time being.
The Board will establish a Remuneration Committee when the size and complexity of the Company’s
operations and management warrant it.
In the meantime, the Board has adopted a Remuneration Committee Charter, which includes principles for
setting and reviewing the level and composition of remuneration for directors and senior executives and
ensuring that such remuneration is appropriate and not excessive, including if required, the ability to obtain
independent advice on the appropriateness of remuneration packages. Until such time as the Remuneration
Committee is established, the functions of this committee will continue to be carried out by the full Board.
8.2 A listed entity should separately disclose its
policies and practices regarding the remuneration
of non-executive directors and the remuneration
of
executive
directors
and
other
senior
executives.
Yes Each director has entered a separate employment or consultancy agreement with the Company.
The remuneration of directors and senior executives is generally reviewed annually. As discussed under
Recommendation 8.1 above, a Remuneration Committee Charter is in place, and the Board (in its capacity
as the Remuneration Committee) in will consider its approach to remuneration in due course having regard
to the Remuneration Committee Charter. Disclosure of the remuneration arrangements for Directors and
senior executives will be disclosed in the annual reports of the Company in the future.
8.3 A listed entity which has an equity- based
remuneration scheme should:
(a) have a policy on whether participants are
permitted to enter into transactions (whether
through the use of derivatives or otherwise)
which limit the economic risk of participating
in the scheme; and
(b) disclose that policy or a summary of it.
N/A The Company maintains a Securities Trading Policy which restricts the permission for employees and
directors to enter transactions which limit the economic risks associated with the participation in any of the
Company's equity based incentive schemes. A copy of the Securities Trading Policy is available on the
Company's website.
The use of derivatives or other hedging arrangements for unvested securities of the Company or vested
securities of the Company which are subject to escrow arrangements is prohibited. Where a director or
other senior executive uses derivatives or other hedging arrangements over vested securities of the
Company, this will be disclosed.
