Review of Operations

Principal Activities

The principal activities of Alderan Resources Limited and its controlled subsidiaries (“the Group”) are mineral exploration in Utah, USA. The Group is exploring the highly prospective Frisco project located in Beaver County, Utah, for copper, gold, zinc and associated minerals.

The Group secured the mineral rights to the Frisco Project over two years and became the first Group 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 prospect) and extensive copper-zinc-lead-silver-gold bearing skarns (Accrington and Horn prospect) associated with possible underlying porphyry system(s). The Group focussed exploration efforts on the Accrington Skarn where thick outcropping mineralised skarns indicate potential for a large tonnage deposit.

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 title constraints.

Dividends

There were no dividends paid, recommended or declared during the period.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED)

Significant Events During the Period

During the interim period the Group commenced drilling at Accrington, focussing on copper-zinc-silver bearing garnet-magnetite skarns. In November 2018 due to the onset of winter the Group then moved drilling to lower elevations, due to the risk of access difficulties on elevated roads, and drilled two holes at the Peacock and Washington prospects.

Final assays for FR18-006 were 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 100m @ 0.41% Cu, 0.30% Zn, 7 g/t Ag from 116m to 216.6m including 6m @ 1.8% Cu, 0.17% Zn, 29 g/t Ag, 0.18 g/t Au.

Copper-zinc-silver mineralisation associated with magnetite and garnet skarn was intersected in FR18-007 from 46m to 100m and variably mineralised skarn thereafter with the Cactus stock being intersected at 209m. FR18-007 returned 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. Associated JORC disclosures for FR18-006 and FR18-007 were announced to the ASX on 14 November 2018.

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

Alderan Resources Limited

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED)

Significant Events During the Period (Continued)

Results at Accrington confirm thick copper-zinc-silver bearing skarn across more than 800m strike. Drilling has yet to demonstrate the continuity of copper-zinc-silver mineralisation to the south with FR18-009 having intersected a fault, which may indicate that mineralised beds have been faulted off, however copper-zinc-silver mineralisation has been mapped at surface to the south of FR18-008 and FR18-009 indicating a continuation of mineralisation.

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.

Washington & Peacock

At the Washington Prospect, a total of two holes were drilled. 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. 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. 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.

FR18-011 was drilled to target a structure hosting mineralisation at the 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.

Corporate Events

  • 9 August 2018 – the Company issued 30,000 fully paid ordinary shares upon the exercise of 30,000 unlisted employee incentive options at $0.30 each.

  • 24 August 2018 – the Company held an Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders. All proposed resolutions were passed by shareholders.

In addition, 600,000 performance rights were issued to Mr. Hegner on the terms and conditions detailed in the Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting dated 26 July 2018.

  • In October 2018 – the Company raised $3,000,000 (before share issue costs) from the issue of 15,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares at $0.20 each, to raise funds for ongoing exploration at Accrington and working capital.

  • 21 November 2018 – the Company held its Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. All proposed resolutions were passed by shareholders.

Significant Events After the Reporting Date

On 3 January 2019, the remuneration of Mr. Wanless and Mr. Hegner were reduced to reduce corporate and administrative costs in order to focus on expenditure on exploration at the Frisco project. Mr. Wanless and Mr. Hegner annual remuneration reduced to $189,000 and US$216,000 respectively with effective from 1 January 2019.

On 11 February 2019, Mr. Wanless resigned as CEO and Director. Mr. Eadie was appointed the Executive Chairman and Mr. Mr. Tucker was appointed as a Non-Executive Director. Mr. Eadie annual remuneration increased to $120,000 plus superannuation.

There are no other matters or circumstances that has arisen since 31 December 2018 to the date of this report that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the entity's operations, the results of those operations, or the Group’s state of affairs in future financial years.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Statement of compliance

This general purpose consolidated financial report for the half year ending 31 December 2018 have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, applicable accounting standards including AASB 134 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’, Accounting Interpretations and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’). Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’.

This half year financial report does not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Therefore, it cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and cash flows of the Group as in the full financial report. Accordingly, these financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018 and any public announcements made by the Group during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

Basis of preparation

The half year consolidated financial report has been prepared on a historical cost basis. The Company is domiciled in Australia and all amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.

The principal accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, unless otherwise stated.

New or Amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations Adopted

The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are mandatory for the current reporting period. The adoption of these new and revised Accounting Standards and Interpretations has not resulted in a significant or material change to the Group’s accounting policies.

Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted by the Group.

Going Concern

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

As disclosed in the financial statements, the Group incurred a loss of $3,192,156 and had net cash outflows from operating activities of $3,965,909 for the half-year ended 31 December 2018. 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 there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Group will be able to continue as a going concern, it plans to issue additional equity securities, to raise further working capital. The Directors are confident the Group will be successful in sourcing further capital to fund the ongoing operations of the Group.

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.

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

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Alderan Resources Limited, which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year end or from time to time during the half-year.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year 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

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, 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 consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2018 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 . As the auditor of Alderan Resources Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

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.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of Alderan Resources Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's review report .

Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Alderan Resources Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

  • (a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2018 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • (b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 1, which indicates that the consolidated entity incurred a loss of $3,192,156 and had net cash outflows from operating activities of $3,965,909 for the half-year ended 31 December 2018. 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 consolidated entity's ability to continue as a going concern. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.
