Kipushi Project

The Kipushi tailings dam is located approximately 8km from the Kipushi Processing Plant and extends for over 1.2km in length and over 400m in width. The tailings have a maximum depth of approximately 12m in the centre of the tailings dam and 5m at the boundaries of the tailings dam, with average depths of approximately 8m. Assaying of samples collected from the tailings dam returned Cobalt grades ranging from 0.35% to 0.46% and Copper grades ranging from 0.89% to 1.18% (refer ASX announcement dated 29 March 2017).

The Company reported that it was undertaking metallurgical testwork on the Kipushi tailings at the laboratory of Mintek in South Africa, as well as the laboratory of Axis House. The initial flotation testwork carried out by Axis House confirmed that a saleable concentrate of approximately 10% Copper and 2% Cobalt with recoveries of 57% and 50% respectively could be achieved. It was the Company’s intent to repair and upgrade the Kipushi Processing Plant (flotation plant) to process the Kipushi tailings for sale. The Company engaged the services of South African consultants GCWH Consulting Pty Ltd ( GCWH ) to undertake a detailed engineering review of the Kipushi Processing Plant. GCWH visited the project in February 2018 and noted the requirement for several design modifications in the flotation plant and identified that some equipment should be replaced.

As reported in the March 2018 quarterly report, the Company had dispatched a sample of tailings to the laboratory of ALS Metallurgy Pty Ltd ( ALS ), to undertake leach/extraction testing that could potentially provide a more optimum processing solution, in particular higher Cobalt recoveries. ALS completed an initial 3 leach tests on the Kipushi tailings with very encouraging results, which resulted in recoveries of 95.8% for Copper and 83.5% for Cobalt at a 75 micron grind size after 3 hours of leaching.

Given the excellent results achieved from the leach testing, Soludo Lambert adopted a strategy to develop in parallel with the upgrade of the flotation plant, a leaching plant that will potentially produce a high grade copper cobalt hydroxide product. To progress the development of a potential leaching plant, Soludo Lambert engaged the services of Minnovo Pty Ltd ( Minnovo ) during Q1 2018 to undertake a pre-feasibility study ( PFS ) on a 1Mtpa leach extraction plant designed to produce a mixed hydroxide precipitate.

Continuing with the testwork, ALS carried out a number of tests to precipitate copper and cobalt from the leach solution. Precipitation tests completed produced a mixed hydroxide precipitate ( MHP ) with copper and cobalt grades ranging from 22.8% - 31.9% and 9.77% - 18.4% respectively. The value of 18.4% cobalt was for a precipitate produced

after the removal of copper and indicated that a higher grade cobalt MHP could be produced as an alternative to the mixed copper/cobalt MHP. Optimisation tests to further improve the grades of the MHP continue.

Based on the preliminary details being received from Minnovo during the PFS study, the Board of Soludo Lambert determined that it was better to defer the upgrade of the flotation plant and focus solely on progressing the development of the leaching plant for the processing of the Kipushi tailings. In this regard, Soludo Lambert requested Minnovo to extend the PFS work to an Engineering Study, which was completed early July 2018 (refer ASX announcement dated 16 July 2018).

Based on the preliminary details delivered by Minnovo prior to the completion of the Engineering Study the Board of Soludo Lambert made a decision to pursue construction of the leaching plant and appointed Minnovo in May 2018 to undertake the detailed design. Subsequent to being awarded the design work, Minnovo progressed the finalisation of the process design criteria and process flow diagrams, process plant layout, equipment data sheet preparation and specifications for tendering long lead item equipment and the details required to tender the concrete works associated with the leaching plant.

Subject to the finalisation of funding and permitting, Soludo Lambert is targeting production at the project in Q2 2019.

Kasombo Project

The Kasombo Project comprises three mineralized areas, Kasombo 5, 6 and 7, located within two granted mining licenses PE 481 and PE 4886 ( Licences ), refer Figure 1. The Licences are held by La Generale Des Carrieres Et Des Mines S.A. ( Gecamines ).

In November 2017, FEL reported that it had completed its own mapping works at Kasombo 6 and 7. Mapping works at Kasombo 5 were completed early December 2017. The mapping showed two styles of mineralization: the first conforming to mineralization typical of deposits of the Katanga Copper Belt; the second showing cross-cutting breccia style, providing potential to significantly increase the size of mineralisation.

Twenty samples were collected during the mapping program, predominantly from Kasombo 7 and dispatched to ALS Laboratories for assaying in Lubumbashi and South Africa. The assay results returned high grade cobalt assays, with the highest grade assays being 6.99% cobalt (sample A2914) and 1.57% cobalt (sample A2916) (refer FEL announcement dated 12 December 2017).

In January 2018, FEL reported that it had completed a preliminary RC drilling at the Kasombo Project, with Kasombo 5 drilled with two reverse circulation (RC) holes for a total depth of 149 m, and Kasombo 7 was drilled with four RC holes for a total depth of 190 m.

Assays from Kasombo 5 showed wide intersections of high grade copper mineralization, with copper and cobalt intercepts from the drilling at Kasombo 5:

• KSB001: 23 m @ 3.18% Cu from 54 m

• KSB003b: 24 m @ 3.50% Cu from 37 m

• KSB003b: 12 m @ 0.19% Co from 36 m

• KSB003: 10 m @ 0.22% Co from 11 m

RC drilling at Kasombo 7 returned shallow intercepts of cobalt mineralisation from depths of 8m and over intercepts of up to 11m:

• KSB004: 11 m @ 0.10% Co from 8 m

• KSB006: 3 m @ 0.13% Co from 10 m

For more detailed information on the drilling results, refer to FEL announcement dated 14 March 2018.

In its June 2018 quarterly, FEL reported that it had tendered a 5000m drilling programme covering Kasombo 5 and Kasombo 7. Nine drilling companies visited the Kasombo area to tender on the proposed drilling programme, with

four companies later shortlisted and proposals updated accordingly. The awarding of the drilling contract was delayed, however, pending the completion of a planned trenching and ground magnetics programme.

FEL also reported that a local consulting geology company Minex Consulting SA ( Minex ) was engaged to undertake a trenching, logging and sampling programme at Kasombo 7. Seven trenches for a total length of 617m were completed with a total of 289 samples collected for analysis.

FEL also reported that in June 2018, it had engaged the services of the Department of Geology from the University of Lubumbashi ( University ), to undertake a ground magnetics survey of the Kasombo area. The University commenced and completed the ground magnetics field works with 12 lines of survey of approximately 1.2km each, and equidistant of 400m oriented N-S, totalling a cumulative length of 20.2km.

Kitwe Tailings Project

In May 2017, the Company announced that it has executed a binding terms sheet to conditionally acquire 70% of the shares in Zambian entity Australian Mining Company Zambia Limited ( AMCZL ), which is the holder of exploration licence No 21853-HQ-SEL ( Licence) . The Licence covers an historic cobalt-copper rich tailings dump located approximately 3km on the outskirts of Kitwe in Zambia (refer Figure 3 and Figure 4 ). Assays of seven samples collected from the tailings dam returned Cobalt grades in the range of 0.20% to 0.43% and Copper grades ranging from 0.43% to 0.93% (refer ASX announcement dated 22 May 2017).

==> picture [335 x 225] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 4: Location of the Kitwe Cobalt-Copper Tailings Project

The share sale agreement was finally executed on 4 December 2017. The Company was expecting completion to occur during Q1 2018, however there was some frustration to the completion process by the Zambian authorities and then by AMCZL. Following discussions with AMZCL, the terms of the transaction were renegotiated and a new share sale agreement executed on 3 May 2018. Under the terms of the new agreement ( Agreement ), Cape Lambert will acquire a 60% interest in the Project on satisfaction of the following;

• Payment of US$150,000 on execution of the Agreement (of which US$50,000 had already been paid);

• • Milestone Payments of:

• US$300,000 payable on the later of AMZCL entering in to an agreement with the owner of an adjacent licence to allow the storage of processed tailings from the Project on a portion of its license area or 3 months from the date of execution of the Agreement, and

• US$350,000 to AMZCL 6 months from the date of execution of the Agreement.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES AND REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

During Q2 2018 the Company received a mineralogy report on the 2kg sample of tailings collected and delivered to the laboratory of Mintek in South Africa, which indicated that the major copper bearing mineral phases (in order of abundance) within the sample occurred in the form of malachite, chalcopyrite, Cu-chlorite, bornite, chalcocite/digenite and chrysocolla, while the major cobalt contributor occurred in the form of the Co-hydroxide, heterogenite.

During H2 2017, the Company had collected samples for dispatching to Mintek in South Africa for commencement of metallurgical testwork. Considerable delays, however, were experienced in achieving the paperwork to enable the export of the samples. Given this delay, the Company sought out the assistance of a metallurgical consultant in Kitwe, to manage a testwork programme at a laboratory in Kitwe. The testwork programme is expected to commence early Q3 2018.

The Company also sought quotations for drilling companies for drilling of the Kitwe tailings dam in order to determine a Mineral Resource estimate for the Project. It is expected that drilling will commence during Q3 2018.

Wee MacGregor Project

Mining International Pty Ltd ( Mining International ) is a fully owned subsidiary of Cape Lambert. The Company holds tenure to 4 mining leases and 4 granted exploration permits for minerals (EPM’s) at the Wee MacGregor Project located 40 km southeast of Mt Isa in Queensland (refer Figure 5 ). The total granted land package covers an area of approximately 124km[2] .

The tenements are located within in the Eastern Fold Belt of the Mt Isa inlier. The eastern-most tenements are located in the Mary Kathleen Zone/Wonga Sub-province. The western group of tenements are located in the Kalkadoon Leichhardt Belt. These areas are prospective for a variety of deposit types, most notably structurally controlled epigenetic copper and gold deposits.

ANNUAL REPORT 2018

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES AND REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

==> picture [160 x 48] intentionally omitted <==

The Wee MacGregor tenements can be classed as brownfields exploration as several copper occurrences and historical workings occur within the tenement boundaries. The largest of these is the Rosebud Mine within ML2773, which has recorded historical production of 20,000t of ore at 7.0% Cu. In addition, there are numerous underexplored geochemical and geophysical anomalies defined by previous explorers.

Cohiba Minerals Limited (Cohiba) has a Farm-in agreement with the Company for mining licences ML 2504, ML 2773 and ML 90098, while Firebird Minerals Pty Ltd (Firebird) has a Farm-in agreement for mining licence ML2771.

Cohiba noted that no mineralisation from the Great Central area has been defined or included in resource estimations in the past so anything discovered below surface will be new. Assay results from previous surface samples taken in the area have returned high grade copper and cobalt values including up to 8.4% Cu and 0.21% Co (refer Cohiba announcement dated 25 October 2017) demonstrating significant potential for the definition of additional near surface mineralisation. Drilling in Great Central is essentially reconnaissance as the source and morphology of the mineralisation is unknown.

During Q4 2017, a program of works for a small drilling program on ML2504 and ML90098 was lodged with the Kalkadoon Native Title Claimants (Kalkadoon) for heritage assessment, with the heritage survey completed during Q1 2018. The drilling programme is scheduled to commence in Q3 2018.

Competent Persons Statement

In October 2014, the Company provided bridging financing of US$8 million and purchased a royalty of US12 million to Timing Mining Corporate SL Limited and TImis Mining Corporation Limited (collectively Timis Mining ). The bridging finance principal and interest (interest is calculated on 3-month US LIBOR plus 6%) was due to be repaid to the Company on 21 October 2015 and could be extended by the parties on mutually agreed terms.

In May 2017, the Company commenced legal action against Mr Craig Dean (First Defendant), Gerald Metals Limited (Second Defendant), Timis Mining Corporation SL Ltd (Fourth Defendant) and Frank Timis (Third Defendant) (jointly the Defendants ) in the High Court of Sierra Leone seeking damages and injunctions against the Defendants (refer ASX announcement dated 15 May 2017), with an interim injunction subsequently granted (refer ASX announcement dated 19 May 2017).

On 7 July 2017, the Company announced that the High Court of Sierra Leone issued a Court Order in relation to the Notice of Motion lodged by the Company, which ordered the Parties to proceed to arbitration if desired, refused the Fourth Defendant’s application for a stay of proceedings and maintained the interlocutory injunction against the First Defendant, Second Defendant and Third Defendant that prevents liquidating the Fourth Defendant’s company, pending the hearing and determination of the matter. The Company is presently in discussions with the Defendants in regard to proceeding to arbitration.

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

The remuneration policy of the Company has been designed to align director objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component which is assessed on an annual basis in line with market rates. The Board of the Company believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain appropriately skilled directors to run and manage the Company.

The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for Board members and other key management personnel is as follows:

The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior staff members, was developed by the Executive Chairman and approved by the Board after benchmarking against the market.

All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience).

The Group is an exploration entity, and therefore speculative in terms of performance. Consistent with attracting and retaining talented individuals, directors and senior executives are paid market rates associated with individuals in similar positions within the same industry. The Board endorses the use of incentive and bonus payments for directors and senior executives.

Options and performance incentives may also be issued as the Group invests in projects which are subsequently successfully monetised, and key performance indicators such as profits and growth can then be used as measurements for assessing Board performance.

Shares awarded to directors and executives are valued as the difference between the market price of those shares and the amount paid by the director or executive. Options are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The Board’s policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The Executive Chairman determines payments to the non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors as approved at the 2009 Annual General Meeting is $750,000. Any modifications to this amount is subject to approval by shareholders at the Company’s Annual General Meeting. To align directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company. The Company did not engage external remuneration consultants to advise the Board on remuneration matters during the year.

Company Performance, Shareholder Wealth and Directors’ and Executives’ Remuneration

The remuneration policy aims to increase goal congruence between shareholders and directors via the issue of options to directors to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests. During the financial year, the Company’s share price traded between a low of $0.018 and a high of $0.08. The price volatility is a concern to the Board but is not considered abnormal for medium sized exploration entities and in the context of volatile global equity markets. In order to keep all investors fully informed and minimise market fluctuations, the Board is determined to maintain promotional activity amongst the investment community so as to increase awareness of the Company and to stabilise the Company’s share price in line with a consistent and stable financial position and base value of assets.

Service Agreements

Executive Director

19

ANNUAL REPORT 2018

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

==> picture [161 x 48] intentionally omitted <==

Company. Under that contract, Mr Sage is not entitled to any set long or short term bonus or incentive. For the avoidance of doubt, there is no fixed formula under which any incentives or bonuses are payable by the Company to Mr Sage. During the term of the contact, the Remuneration Committee may consider incentive plans and bonus structures that will be focussed on the Executive Chairman achieving performance hurdles based on a material increase in the net market capitalisation of the Company and returns to shareholders of the Company, such as dividends. The contract may be terminated by either party, without cause, providing 3 months’ notice (or payment in lieu).

Upon expiry of the Executive Chairman contract on 28 August 2016, the Company has entered into a new 3 year consultancy contract. The key terms of the new contract are consistent with those of the existing one with the exception of the inclusion of an incentive structure of 10-20%, subject to Remuneration Committee approval, which is dependent on the achievement of all key performance milestones detailed in the consultancy contract.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

==> picture [160 x 48] intentionally omitted <==

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

The consolidated financial statements of Cape Lambert Resources Limited and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Group ) for the year ended 30 June 2018 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 28 September 2018.

Cape Lambert Resources Limited (the Company or the Parent ) is a for profit company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Stock Exchange.

The nature and operations and principal activities of the Group are described in the directors’ report.

Information of the Group’s structure is provided in Note 24. Information on other related party relationships is provided in Note 26.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of preparation

The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards including Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001 . The financial report has been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for the revaluation of certain financial instruments. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars.

The Group is a for-profit public listed company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

(b) Going concern

This consolidated financial report has been prepared on the basis that the consolidated entity will continue normal business activities and realise assets and settle liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

During the year ended ended 30 June 2018, the Consolidated Entity incurred losses after income tax of $828,296 (30 June 2017: $10,945,226), net cash outflows from operating activities of $3,439,620 (30 June 2017: $3,229,296), and at that date had cash on hand of $1,015,522 (30 June 2017: $1,110,287).

The consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to continue to fund its planned expanded activities is dependent on raising further capital and / or generating additional revenues from its operations and / or reducing operational costs.

These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast a significant doubt about the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Directors believe the consolidated entity will continue as a going concern, after consideration of the following factors:

• The Consolidated Entity has recent successful experience in raising capital having raised $3.8 million through share placements during the year; and

• The consolidated entity has successfully completed the planned first phase of its commercial strategy and now requires additional capital for its next phase. The Company’s current intention is to raise additional capital prior to the end of the calendar year through equity or debt in order to fund its expansion and working capital requirements. Initial discussions have commenced with a number of Australian stock brokers and the directors are confident of a successful outcome within the next 12 months; and

29

ANNUAL REPORT 2018

==> picture [160 x 48] intentionally omitted <==

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

• Realisation of certain of the Groups financial assets; and

• The consolidated entity is continuing efforts to secure key customers in key markets and are similarly confident of generating additional sales revenue within the next 12 months.

Should the consolidated entity not be able to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business. The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or liabilities that might be necessary should the consolidated entity not continue as a going concern.

(c) Compliance with IFRS

The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ( IASB ).

Accounting policies are selected and applied in a manner which ensures that the resulting financial information satisfies the concepts of relevance and reliability, thereby ensuring that the substance of the underlying transactions or other events is reported.

(d) Changes in accounting policy, disclosures, standards and interpretations

New accounting standards adopted in the current period

The Company has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ( AASB ) that are mandatory for the current reporting period. Adoption of these standards and interpretations did not have any effect on the statements of financial position or performance of the Company. The Company has not elected to early adopt any new standards or amendments.

The following relevant standards and interpretations have been applied for the first time for the year ended 30 June 2018:

Reference	Title	Summary	Application	Application
			date of	date for CFE
			standard
AASB 2016-1	Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses	This Standard makes amendments to AASB 112_Income Taxes_to clarify the accounting for deferred tax assets for unrealized losses on debt instruments measured at fair value.	1 January 2017	1 July 2017
AASB 2016-2	Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosure Initiative: Amendments to AASB 107	The amendments to AASB 107_Statement of Cash Flows_are part of the IASB’s Disclosure Initiative and help users of financial statements better understand changes in an entity’s debt. The amendments require entities to provide disclosures about changes in their liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes (such as foreign exchange gains or losses). Refer to note 27 for reconciliation.	1 January 2017	1 July 2017
AASB 2017-2	Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Further Annual Improvements 2014- 2016 Cycle	This Standard clarifies the scope of AASB 12_Disclosure of Interests in_ Other Entities_by specifying that the disclosure requirements apply to an entity’s interests in other entities that are classified as held for sale or discontinued operations in accordance with AASB 5_Non- current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.	1 January 2017	1 July 2017

New accounting standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Company for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2018. The Company’s assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the Company, are set out below.

Reference	Title	Summary	Application date of standard	Application date for CFE
AASB 9, and relevant amending standards	Financial Instruments	AASB 9 replaces AASB 139_Financial Instruments: Recognition and_ Measurement. Except for certain trade receivables, an entity initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs. Debt instruments are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), amortised cost, or fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI), on the basis of their contractual cash flows and the business model under which the debt instruments are held. There is a fair value option (FVO) that allows financial assets on initial recognition to be designated as FVTPL if that eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch. Equity instruments are generally measured at FVTPL. However, entities have an irrevocable option on an instrument-by-instrument basis to present changes in the fair value of non-trading instruments in other comprehensive income (OCI) without subsequent reclassification to profit or loss. For financial liabilities designated as FVTPL using the FVO, the amount of change in the fair value of such financial liabilities that is attributable to changes in credit risk must be presented in OCI. The remainder of the change in fair value is presented in profit or loss, unless presentation in OCI of the fair value change in respect of the liability’s credit risk would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss. All other AASB 139 classification and measurement requirements for financial liabilities have been carried forward into AASB 9, including the embedded derivative separation rules and the criteria for using the FVO. The incurred credit loss model in AASB 139 has been replaced with an expected credit loss model in AASB 9. The requirements for hedge accounting have been amended to more closely align hedge accounting with risk management, establish a more principle-based approach to hedge accounting and address inconsistencies in the hedge accounting model in AASB 139. The entity has short term trade receivables. When this Standard is adopted, the entity’s loss on allowance of trade receivables is expected to increase. The group is currently assessing the impact of this transition at 1 July 2018. Based on the Company’s initial assessment, there will be no significant change from the current measurement of the Company’s financial instruments and classification of its financial instruments at fair value through profit and loss.	1 January 2018	1 July 2018
AASB 2016-5	Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards –	This Standard amends AASB 2_Share-based Payment_, clarifying how to account for certain types of share-based payment transactions. The amendments provide requirements on the accounting for: - The effects of vesting and non-vesting conditions on the	1 January 2018	1 July 2018

Reference	Title	Summary	Application date of standard	Application
				date for CFE
	Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions	measurement of cash-settled share-based payments - Share-based payment transactions with a net settlement feature for withholding tax obligations - A modification to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment that changes the classification of the transaction from cash-settled to equity-settled. Based on the Company’s initial assessment, there will be no significant change from the current measurement of the Company’s share-based payment transactions
Interpretation 23	Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments	The Interpretation clarifies the application of the recognition and measurement criteria in AASB 12_Income Taxes_when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. The Interpretation specifically addresses the following: - Whether an entity considers uncertain tax treatments separately - The assumptions an entity makes about the examination of tax treatments by taxation authorities - How an entity determines taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates - How an entity considers changes in facts and circumstances.	1 January 2019	1 July 2019
AASB 15	Revenue from Contracts with Customers	The AASB has issued a new standard for the recognition of revenue. This will replace AASB 118 which covers revenue arising from the sale of goods and the rendering of services and AASB 111 which covers construction contracts. The new standard is based on the principle that revenue is recognised when control of a good or service transfers to a customer. The standard permits either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach for the adoption. The Consolidated Entity does not expect a significant effect on the financial statements resulting from the change of this standard however the Consolidated Entity is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new revenue standard. The changes in the Consolidated Entity’s accounting policies from the adoption of AASB 15 will be applied from 1 July 2018.	1 January 2019	1 July 2019
AASB 16	Leases	AASB 16 eliminates the operating and finance lease classifications for lessees currently accounted for under AASB 117 Leases. It instead requires an entity to bring most leases into its statement of financial position in a similar way to how existing finance leases are treated under AASB 117. An entity will be required to recognise a lease liability and a right of use asset in its statement of financial position for most leases. There are some optional exemptions for leases with a period of 12 months or less and for low value leases. Lessor accounting remains largely unchanged from AASB 117. The Consolidated Entity is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new leases standard. The changes in the Group's accounting policies from the adoption of AASB 16 will be applied from 1 July 2019 onwards.	1 January 2019	1 July 2019

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Group is in the process of determining the impact of the above on its financial statements. The Group has not elected to early adopt any new Standards or Interpretations.

(e) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Cape Lambert Resources Limited ( Cape Lambert ) and its subsidiaries as at 30 June 2018 (the Group ).

Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has:

• Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee);

• Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and

• The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.

When the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:

• The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee

• Rights arising from other contractual arrangements

• The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights

The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the statement of comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it:

• De-recognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary

• De-recognises the carrying amount of any non-controlling interests

• De-recognises the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity

• Recognises the fair value of the consideration received

• Recognises the fair value of any investment retained

• Recognises any surplus or deficit in profit or loss

• Reclassifies the parent’s share of components previously recognised in OCI to profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate, as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method.

(f) Associates

Associates are entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the

33

ANNUAL REPORT 2018

==> picture [160 x 48] intentionally omitted <==

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

equity method of accounting, after initially being recognised at cost. The Group’s investment in associates includes goodwill (net of any accumulated impairment loss) identified on acquisition.

The Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in statement of comprehensive income and reserves. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. Dividends receivable from associates reduce the carrying amount of the investment.

When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.

(g) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position. Restricted cash relates to term deposits held with various financial institutions as security for bank guarantees.

(h) Trade receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days. They are presented as current assets unless collection is not expected for more than 12 months after the reporting date.

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. An allowance account (provision for impairment of trade receivables) is used when there is objective evidence that the group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments (more than 30 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. The amount of the impairment allowance is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Cash flows relating to short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial.

The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. When a trade receivable for which an impairment allowance had been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other expenses in profit or loss.

(i) Property, Plant and Equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the item. In the event that settlement of all or part of the purchase consideration is deferred, cost is determined by discounting the amounts payable in the future to their present value as at the date of acquisition.

Depreciation is provided on plant and equipment. Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis so as to write off the net cost or other revalued amount of each asset over its expected useful life to its estimated residual value. The

34

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period.

The following estimated useful	lives are used in the calculation of depreciation:
Office equipment	3 years
Plant and equipment	3 years
Motor vehicles	3 years
Furniture and fittings	5 years
Leasehold improvements	over the period of the lease

(j) Financial Assets

Investments are recognised and derecognised on trade date where purchase or sale of an investment is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the investment within the timeframe established by the market concerned, and are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs.

Other financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: financial assets ‘at fair value through profit or loss’, ‘held-to-maturity’ investments, ‘available-for-sale’ financial assets, and ‘loans and receivables’. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition. The Group has the following financial assets:

Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss

Certain shares and options held for trading have been classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets held for trading purposes are stated at fair value, with any resultant gain or loss recognised in profit or loss. The fair value of investments that are actively traded in organised financial markets is determined by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the reporting date. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if they are expected to be realised within 12 months otherwise they are classified as non-current assets.

Loans and Receivables

Trade receivables, loans, and other receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are recorded at amortised cost less impairment. Impairment is determined by review of the nature and recoverability of the loan or receivable with reference to its terms of repayments and capacity of the debtor entity to repay the debt. If the recoverable amount of a receivable is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of receivable is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately. They are included in current assets, other than those with maturities greater than 12 months from reporting date which are classified as non-current assets.

Available for sale financial assets

Available for sale financial assets are those non-derivative financial assets, principally equity securities, that are designated as available for sale or are not classified as ‘at fair value through profit or loss’, ‘held-to-maturity’ investments or ‘loans and receivables’. Available for sale financial assets are measured at fair value, or cost where fair value is unable to be reliably measured, until the investment is disposed of or determined to be impaired, at which time the gain or loss on disposal or the impairment is recognised in the profit or loss. They are included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months.

In the case of equity securities classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of a security below its cost is considered as an indicator that the securities are impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss - measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss - is reclassified from equity and recognised in profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment. Impairment losses recognised in profit or loss on equity instruments classified as available-for-sale are not reversed through profit or loss.

35

ANNUAL REPORT 2018

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

==> picture [160 x 48] intentionally omitted <==

(k) Debt and Equity Instruments Issued by the Group

Debt and equity instruments

Debt and equity instruments are classified as either liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement.

Interest and dividends

Interest and dividends are classified as expenses or as distributions of profit consistent with the statement of financial position classification of the related debt or equity instruments or component parts of compound instruments.

(l) Foreign Currency

Foreign currency transactions and balances

All foreign currency transactions occurring during the financial year are recognised at the exchange rate in effect at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items at reporting date are translated at the exchange rate existing at reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined.

Exchange differences are recognised in the profit or loss in the period in which they arise except those exchange differences which relate to assets under construction for future productive use which are included in the cost of those assets where they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on foreign currency borrowings.

Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the companies within the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate (the functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Cape Lambert’s functional and presentation currency.

Group companies

The results and financial position of all the group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

• a. assets and liabilities for each Statement of Financial Position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that Statement of Financial Position;

• b. income and expenses for each statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions), and

• c. all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold, a proportionate share of such exchange differences is reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale where applicable.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entities and translated at the closing rate.

(m) Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months from the reporting date. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

==> picture [160 x 48] intentionally omitted <==

(n) Employee Benefits

Provision is made for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and long service leave when it is probable that settlement will be required and they are capable of being measured reliably.

Provisions made in respect of employee benefits expected to be wholly settled within 12 months are measured at their nominal values using the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement.

Provisions made in respect of employee benefits which are not expected to be wholly settled within 12 months are measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the Group in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.

The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.

Refer also to note 2(s) for accounting policy regarding share based payments.

(o) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation, the future sacrifice of economic benefits is probable, and the amount of the provision can be measured reliably.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cashflows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cashflows.

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that recovery will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

Costs of site restoration are provided over the life of the facility from when exploration commences and are included in the costs of that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plant, equipment and building structures, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with clauses of the mining permits. Such costs have been determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and technology.

Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations and future legislation.

(p) Impairment of non-current assets

Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested 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. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.

(q) Income Tax

Current Tax

Current tax is calculated by reference to the amount of income taxes payable or recoverable in respect of the taxable profit or tax loss for the period. It is calculated using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. Current tax for current and prior periods is recognised as a liability (or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable).

Deferred Tax

Deferred tax is accounted for using the comprehensive balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax base of those items.

In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable amounts will be available against which deductible temporary differences or unused tax losses and tax offsets can be utilised. However, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary differences giving rise to them arise from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities (other than as a result of a business combination) which affects neither taxable income nor accounting profit. Furthermore, a deferred tax liability is not recognised in relation to taxable temporary differences arising from goodwill.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates and joint ventures except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with these investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period(s) when the asset and liability giving rise to them are realised or settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company/Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. The Group has implemented the tax consolidation legislation. As a consequence, these entities are taxed as a single entity and the deferred tax assets and liabilities of these entities are set off in the consolidated financial statements.

Current and deferred tax for the period

Current and deferred tax is recognised as an expense or income in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income except when it relates to items credited or debited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised directly in equity.

(r) Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.

Interest Revenue

Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method.

38

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(s) Share-based Payments

Equity-settled share-based payments are measured at fair value at the date of grant. Fair value is measured by use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability and exercise restrictions.

The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of shares that will eventually vest.

For cash-settled share-based payments, a liability equal to the portion of the goods or services received is recognised at the current fair value determined at each reporting date.

(t) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest where right of tenure is current and active and significant operations are continuing in the area of interest. Costs associated with these identifiable areas of interests are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.

When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves.

A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.

(u) Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Group, 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 year.

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interests and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

(v) Business Combinations

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition date fair values of the assets transferred by the acquirer, the liabilities incurred by the acquirer to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity issued by the acquirer, and the amount of any non controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the acquirer measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured at fair value as at the acquisition date through profit or loss.

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non controlling shareholders’

39

ANNUAL REPORT 2018

==> picture [160 x 48] intentionally omitted <==

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

interest. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the Group's share of the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquiree is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration which is deemed to be an asset or liability will be recognised in accordance with AASB 139 either in profit or loss or in other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it shall not be remeasured.

(w) Leases

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Group as lessee are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

(x) Contributed equity

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.

(y) Parent entity financial information

The financial information for the parent entity, Cape Lambert Resources Limited, disclosed in note 29 has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements, except as set out below:

Investments in subsidiaries and associates

Investments in subsidiaries and associates are accounted for at cost in the financial statements of Cape Lambert Resources Limited. Dividends received from associates are recognised in the parent entity’s statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, rather than being deducted from the carrying amount of these investments.

Tax consolidation legislation

Cape Lambert Resources Limited and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. These tax amounts are measured as if each entity in the tax consolidated group continues to be a stand-alone taxpayer in its own right.

In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, Cape Lambert Resources Limited also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax consolidated group.

The entities have entered into a tax funding agreement under which the wholly-owned entities fully compensate Cape Lambert Resources Limited for any current tax payables assumed and are compensated by Cape Lambert Resources Limited for any current tax receivable and deferred tax assets relating to unused tax losses or unused tax credits that are transferred to Cape Lambert Resources Limited under the tax consolidation legislation. The funding amounts are determined by reference to the amounts recognised in the wholly-owned entities’ financial statements.

The amounts receivable/payable under the tax funding agreement are due upon receipt of the funding advice from the head entity, which is issued as soon as practicable after the end of each financial year. The head entity may also require payment of interim funding amounts to assist with its obligation to pay tax instalments.

Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as current amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the group.

40

ANNUAL REPORT 2018

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

==> picture [160 x 48] intentionally omitted <==

Any difference between the amounts assumed and amounts receivable or payable under the tax funding agreement are recognised as a contribution to (or distribution from) wholly-owned tax consolidated entities.

(z) Dividends

Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the entity, on or before the end of the financial year but not distributed as balance date.

(ab) Critical Judgements in Applying the Group’s Accounting Policies

The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

Exploration and Evaluation

The Group’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation is set out at note 2(t). The application of this policy necessarily requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions as to future events and circumstances, in particular, the assessment of whether economic quantities of reserves may be determined. Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. If, after having capitalised expenditure, it is determined that recovery of the expenditure by future exploitation or sale is unlikely, then the relevant capitalised amount is written off in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Income taxes

The Group is subject to income taxes in Australia and jurisdictions where it has foreign operations.

Significant judgement is required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Group estimates its tax liabilities based on the Group’s understanding of the tax laws in the relevant jurisdictions. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the period in which such determination is made.

The Group recognises deferred tax assets relating to carried forward tax losses to the extent there are sufficient taxable temporary differences (deferred tax liabilities) relating to the same taxation authority against which the unused tax losses can be utilised. However, utilisation of the tax losses also depends on the ability of the entity to satisfy certain tests at the time the losses are recouped.

Impairment

The Group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amounts of the assets are determined.

As at 30 June 2018, management have recognised impairment losses in respect of those assets which had a carrying value which exceeded their recoverable amounts.

Accounting for Investments

The Group makes judgements as to its level of influence over its investments, which impacts how it accounts for these investments. The Group may determine that control of an investment exists, despite its interest in it being less than 50%. The criteria for this assessment includes: power over the investee; the right to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and the ability to use power over investee to affect investment returns. If, on the balance of these criteria, control is deemed to exist, the Group accounts for its investment using the consolidation method. The Group may also determine that significant influence of an investment exists, despite its interest in it being less than 20%. The criteria for this assessment includes: representation on the investee’s board of directors, participation in policy making processes; material transactions between investor and investee; interchange of

41

ANNUAL REPORT 2018

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

managerial personnel; and the provision of essential technical information. If, on the balance of these criteria, significant influence is deemed to exist, the Group accounts for its investment using the equity method.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company has been the subject of an audit by the Australian Taxation Office ( ATO ) regarding various taxation matters, covering the 2011 - 2015 income years. The key issue in dispute is the tax treatment of the disposal of certain assets.

Subsequent to the year end, on 31 July 2018, the Company reached an out of court settlement with the ATO. Under the terms of the settlement, the Company has, on a without admission of liability basis, agreed to make final settlement payments to the ATO totalling $5,203,442 following the issue of amended assessments for each of the respective income tax years in dispute. Included in the settlement is a shortfall interest component of $790,000. The settlement is payable over 5 years until March 2023. Under the terms of the settlement, the Company retains all carry forward losses.

The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Dempsey Resources Pty Ltd ( Dempsey ), has agreed to provide the ATO with security over its shareholdings in Fe Limited and Cauldron Energy Ltd as collateral.

The Company recognised an amount of $5,227,739 in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss and Other Comprehensive Income for the year ended 30 June 2017. The variance of ($24,297) to the final settlement amount of $5,203,442 has been recognised in the current years Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

The agreed settlement figure of $5,203,442 represents full and final settlement and removes the potential for any further payments to the ATO under the amended assessments.

Reconciliation

A reconciliation of income tax expense / (benefit) applicable to accounting profit / (loss) before income tax at the statutory income tax rate to income tax expense / (benefit) at the Company’s effective income tax rate for the year is as follows:

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

==> picture [160 x 48] intentionally omitted <==

The tax losses do not expire under current legislation. Deferred tax assets have not been recognised in respect of these items because it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the Group can utilise the benefits. As part of the deed of settlement, the Company’s carried forward tax losses as at 30 June 2015 have been amended as follows:

• Group income tax losses $19,001,334; and

• Group capital losses $29,242,713.

5. SHARE-BASED PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS

(a) Shares

Share-based payments granted during the current year

There were no shares issued as share based payments made during the year.

Share-based payments granted during the prior year

The company issued 90,000,000 shares during 2017 as part of the Kipushi consideration shares. The shares were valued based on the Company’s share price of $0.028 at the grant date (total cost 2,520,000) and capitalised as deferred charges. These shares were approved at a general meeting on 12 May 2017 and were issued on 7 June 2017.

(b) Options

Options granted as share based payments during the current year

The following options were granted as share based payment arrangements during the year (2017: Nil):

On 19 March 2018 5,000,000 unlisted options with an exercise price of $0.07 and a fair value of $0.0183, expiring on 19 March 2020 were issued to facilitators of the Placement. There were no vesting conditions attached to these options.

On 27 June 2018 5,250,000 unlisted options with an exercise price of $0.04 and a fair value of $.0134, expiring on 31 March 2020 were issued to facilitators of the Placement. There were no vesting conditions attached to these options.

The fair value of the equity-settled share options granted is estimated as at the date of grant using the Black Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted.

Number options issued to corporate advisor Dividend yield Expected volatility Risk-free interest rate Expected life of options Exercise price Grant date share price Fair value per option	Assumption
	5,000,000 5,250,000 0.00% 0.00% 106% 104% 1.99% 2.05% 2 years 1.76 years $0.07 $0.04 $0.042 $0.030 $0.0183 $0.0134

The expected life of the options is based on historical data and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility is indicative of future trends, which may also not necessarily be the actual outcome. No other features of options granted were incorporated into the measurement of fair value.

(a) The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

(b) The impairment loss represents the write down of certain plant and equipment to the recoverable amount. An item of property, plant and equipment initially recognised is derecognised when no future economic benefits are expected from use or its disposal. In 2017, impairment of $630,579 was recognised on fixed assets associated with the Guinea exploration activities, on the basis of an arms-length transaction, which the directors believe represents fair value in an orderly transaction (level 3 in the fair value hierarchy). The sale of these assets was completed during the period.

1Given that the Company holds less than a 20% interest in Cauldron Energy Ltd ( Cauldron ), and that Mr Sage no longer provides Executive Chairman services to Cauldron, this investment is no longer equity accounted for. Instead the Company’s shareholding in Cauldron is accounted for a fair value through Profit and Loss.

2 On 28 May 2015 receivers and managers were appointed to Kupang Resources Limited ( Kupang ), and was ultimately placed into voluntary administration. Kupang was removed from the official list of the Australian Securities Exchange on 31 August 2015.

3 Although the Company holds less than a 20% interest in European Lithium Ltd ( Euro ), this investment is equity accounted given the significant influence the Company has on Euro through Mr Sage’s role on the board and the interchange of management personnel.

4 Prior to 2018, the Company controlled Fe Limited ( Fe ) through its direct shareholding and indirect shareholding through Cauldron, and as such, the Company consolidated Fe into its group for reporting purposes. Given that the Company lost its significant influence over Cauldron during the year, control has ceased to exist over Fe. The Company now accounts for its investment in Fe using the equity method.

(d) Summarised financial information

Cauldron Energy Ltd

The Group has a 15.93% interest in Cauldron Energy Limited ( CXU ), which is an ASX-listed mineral exploration company with uranium prospective tenements in Western Australia, South Australia and Argentina. Up until 31 December 2017, the Group’s interest in CXU has been accounted for using the equity method in the consolidated financial statements. Given that the Company holds less than a 20% interest in Cauldron Energy Ltd ( Cauldron ), and that Mr Sage no longer provides Executive Chairman services to Cauldron, effective 1 January 2018, this investment is no longer equity accounted for. Instead the Company’s shareholding in Cauldron is accounted for a fair value through Profit and Loss (refer note 8).

Prior to 2018, the Company controlled Fe through its direct and indirect (through Cauldron) shareholdings, and as such, the Company consolidated Fe into its group for reporting purposes. Given that the Company lost its significant influence over Cauldron during the year, triggered by Mr Sage resigning as Executive Chairman to the Cauldron board, control has ceased to exist over Fe.

The value of the exploration expenditure is dependent upon:

• the continuance of the rights to tenure of the areas of interest;

• the results of future exploration; and

• the recoupment of costs through successful development and exploitation of the areas of interest, or alternatively, by their sale.

Certain of Cape Lambert’s exploration properties may be subjected to claim(s) under native title, or contain sacred sites, or sites of significance to Indigenous people. As a result, exploration properties or areas within the tenements may be subject to exploration restrictions, mining restrictions and/or claims for compensation. At this time, it is not possible to quantify whether such claims exist, or the quantum of such claims.

(a) Impairment and de-recognition

The Company de-recognised capitalised exploration to the extent of $2,109,292 (30 June 2017: $2,837,518) on projects that are on care and maintenance and no longer met the criteria for deferral under the Group’s accounting policy as active and significant operations are not continuing at balance date.

Capital Risk Management

The Group’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

Consistent with others in the industry, the Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings (including “borrowings” and “trade and other payables” as shown in the statement of financial position) less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as “equity” as shown in the statement of financial position plus net debt.

Total Trade and other payables less: Cash and cash equivalents Net (cash)/debt Total equity/(deficiency) Total capital Gearing ratio 18.

28. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks including market risk (currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to meet its financial targets whilst minimising potential adverse effects on financial performance. The Group uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and other price risks and aging analysis for credit risk. Risk management is carried out by the Board.

The Group holds the following financial instruments:

Financial assets: Cash and cash equivalents Restricted cash Trade and other receivables Other financial assets Financial liabilities: Trade and other payables Application funds	2018 2017 $ $
	1,015,522 1,110,287 126,379 186,450 320,355 788,077 2,567,722 1,208,188

	8,251,795 6,668,125

(a) Market Risk

(i) Foreign Currency Risk

The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from commercial transactions. The Group converted assets and liabilities into the functional currency where balances were denominated in a currency other than the Australian dollars.

The Group also has transactional currency exposures. Such exposure arises from sales or purchases by an operating entity in currencies other than the functional currency.

67

ANNUAL REPORT 2018

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

==> picture [160 x 48] intentionally omitted <==

At the reporting date, the Group had the following exposure to foreign currency:

Financial assets: Cash and cash equivalents - USD Cash and cash equivalents - CFA Cash and cash equivalents - SLL	2018 2017 $ $
	US$ $876 US$1,793 CFA- CFA9,791,675 (SSL4,102) SSL39,865,883

Movement of 10% in the foreign currency exchange rates as at 30 June 2018 would not have a material impact on the consolidated loss or equity.

Managements have set up a policy to monitor and measure this risk using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting.

(ii) Cash Flow Interest Rate Risk

The Group’s exposure to market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s cash and cash equivalents. The Group is exposed to movements in market interest rates on short term deposits.

At the reporting date, the Group had the following variable rate cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash:

Financial assets: Cash and cash equivalents Restricted cash Weighted average interest rate	2018 2017 $ $
	1,015,522 1,110,287 126,379 186,450
	1,141,901 1,296,737
	0.95% 0.95%

Movement of 50 basis points on the interest rate (considered a reasonably possible change) would not have a material impact on the consolidated loss or equity.

(iii) Price Risk

The Group is exposed to equity securities price risk. This arises from investments held and classified on the statement of financial position as at fair value through profit or loss. The Group is not exposed to commodity price risk.

To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Group diversifies its portfolio which is done in accordance with the limits set by the Board of Directors.

The majority of the Group’s equity investments are publicly traded on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) and are recognised as financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss.

(b) Credit Risk

Credit risk is managed on a consolidated basis. Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counterparties of contract obligations that could lead to a financial loss to the Group. The Group has adopted the policy of only dealing with credit worthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral or other security where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The maximum credit risk on financial assets, excluding investments, of the Group, which have been recognised on the statement of financial position, is the carrying amount, net of any provision for doubtful debts.

The Group is exposed to credit risk as a result of subscribing to loan notes and convertible loan notes issued by listed

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

and unlisted entities. This credit risk is managed by obtaining adequate security over the loans, generally in the form of a fixed and floating charge over the assets of the borrower. Details of the loan notes and convertible loan notes to which the Group had subscribed during the year are listed in note 7. Credit risk arises from trade receivables. The Consolidated Entity has adopted the policy of only dealing with credit worthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral or other security where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings.

The Company holds 99% (2017: 99%) of its cash and cash equivalents with banks with a Moody’s credit rating on Aa2.

(c) Liquidity Risk

The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows in relation to its operational, investing and financing activities. At the reporting date, the Group had no financing arrangements in place. All financial liabilities are current and expected to settle within six months.

(d) Fair Value Estimation

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. The Directors consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the financial statements approximate their fair values. The carrying values of trade and other receivables net of impairment and the carrying value of payables approximate fair values due to their short-term nature.

AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

• (a) quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1)

• (b) inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (level 2), and

• (c) inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (level 3).

The individual financial statements of the parent entity show the following aggregate amounts:

Statement of financial position Current assets Total assets Current liabilities Total liabilities Shareholders’ equity Issued capital Reserves Retained earnings Total equity /(deficit) Net profit / (loss) for the year Total comprehensive income / (loss)	2018 2017 $ $

	5,045,118 (2,828,736) 5,045,118 (2,828,736)

(b) Guarantees entered into by the parent entity

The parent entity has provided financial guarantees in respect of environmental performance bonds for subsidiaries during the current year amounting to nil (2017: nil).

(c) Tax Consolidation

The Company and its 100% owned controlled entities have formed a tax consolidated group. Members of the Group have entered into a tax sharing arrangement in order to allocate income tax expense to the wholly owned controlled entities on a pro-rata basis. The agreement provides for the allocation of income tax liabilities between the entities should the head entity default on its tax payment obligations. At balance date, the possibility of default is remote. The head entity of the tax consolidated group is Cape Lambert Resources Limited.

Tax Effect Accounting by Members of the Tax Consolidated Group

Members of the tax consolidated group have entered into a tax funding agreement. The tax funding agreement provides for the allocation of current taxes to members of the tax consolidated group. Deferred taxes are allocated to members of the tax consolidated group in accordance with a group allocation approach which is consistent with the principles of AASB 112 Income Taxes. The allocation of tax under the tax funding agreement is recognised as an increase/decrease in the controlled entities’ intercompany accounts with the tax consolidated group head Company, Cape Lambert Resources Limited. In this regard, the Company has assumed the benefit of tax losses from controlled entities of $4,392,828 (2017: $2,939,312) as of the balance date. The Company has received a payment from the controlled entities of nil (2017: nil) as of the balance date in respect of the current year tax liability for the tax consolidated group. The nature of the tax funding agreement is such that no tax consolidation contributions by or distributions to equity participants are required.

30. DECONSOLIDATION OF FE LIMITED

On 1 January 2018, the Company has no power to govern the financial and operating policies of FE Limited ( FEL ) due to loss of majority control. Accordingly, the Company was deemed to have lost control of FEL on 1 January 2018, and the Company’s investment was reclassified to an investment accounted for using the equity method on that date. The Company did not receive any consideration in the deconsolidation of FEL.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the members of Cape Lambert Resources Ltd

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Cape Lambert Resources Ltd (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2018, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial report, 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 2018 and of its financial performance for the year ended on that date; 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 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 2(b) in the financial report which describes the events and/or conditions which give rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd ABN 79 112 284 787 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO Australia Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee.

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.

Deconsolidation of Subsidiary FE Limited (‘FEL')

Key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit

How the matter was addressed in our audit Our procedures included, but were not limited to the following;

As disclosed in note 30 to the financial report, the Group deconsolidated subsidiary FEL on 1 January 2018 as the Company was deemed to have lost control of FEL on that date, and the investment in FEL was subsequently reclassified as an investment in associate as disclosed in note 11(d) of the financial report.

• Evaluating management’s determination of the deemed loss of control of FEL and subsequent reclassification of FEL as an investment in associate;

The is a key audit matter due to the significance of the gain on deconsolidation of FEL in the statement of profit or loss, the material impact of the investment in associates balance in the statement of financial position, and the complexity of accounting for the loss of control of a subsidiary as disclosed in notes 2(e) and 2(ab) in the financial report.

• Agreeing the completeness and accuracy of the FEL assets and liabilities deconsolidated at 1 January 2018 to supporting documentation;

• Re-performing the calculation of the gain on deconsolidation of FEL by comparing the fair value of FEL at 1 January 2018 to carrying value of FEL assets and liabilities at that date;

• Examining the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure of the transaction in note 30 of the financial report, the reclassification as an investment in associate in note 11(d), and the related disclosures in notes 2(e) and 2(ab).
