RESULTS

The Group has recorded a loss after tax for the period ended 31 December 2018 of $595,976 (2017: $351,354).

BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY

Jameson Resources Ltd (“Jameson” or “the Company”) is focused on exploring and developing low-cost highquality coking coal properties from within its portfolio of projects located in southeast and northeast British Columbia, Canada. Western Canada benefits from world-class railways and deep-water ports, which allow operations within the Province of British Columbia to be among the leading metallurgical coal suppliers to the seaborne market.

The Crown Mountain Coking Coal project (“Crown Mountain”, the “Project”) represents the Company’s flagship project and is being developed on a fast track in cooperation with a subsidiary of Bathurst Resources Limited (ASX: BRL) per an agreement executed in July 2018.

The Company will also examine other business opportunities from time-to-time as they arise.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Summary for the Half Year Period

Crown Mountain is moving toward development on multiple fronts:

  • Drafting of the Application for an Environmental Assessment Certificate (“EA Certificate”) by several parties continued to gain momentum with the completion of the vast majority of environmental field baseline studies and their associated reports.

  • The laboratory phase of evaluating the proposed selenium mitigation strategy for Crown Mountain was completed with very promising results (refer to ASX announcement 19 November 2018). Engineering/design is progressing on the spoil disposal facility and related items based on these positive findings.

  • A significant exploration program was completed in the July-October (summer 2018) period, focused on coal quality, geotechnical evaluation, groundwater, and overburden geochemistry.

  • The project geologic model has been updated with the exploration results.

  • Negotiations are nearing completion for commencement of a Bankable Feasibility Study (“BFS”) in the near term.

DIRECTORS REPORT

  • The province issued four additional coal exploration licenses adjacent to Crown Mountain.

  • Rail and port capacity remain available: formal discussions will commence later this year.

Jameson was able to execute the above activities, without incurring debt or issuing equity, through funding provided by Bathurst Resources Canada, a subsidiary of Bathurst Resources Limited (ASX: BRL), the largest coal producer in New Zealand. During the reporting period, BRL provided C$4 Million to sole fund the summer exploration program, and an additional C$2.8 million for EA and BFS related activities.

As at 31 December 2018 the Top 20 shareholders held approximately 64.7% of the capital of the Company and the Company held $3.5 million in cash. Jameson remains debt-free.

Coking coal prices remained significantly higher (currently approximately US$200/tonne) than the US$155/tonne assumed in the 2017 PFS.

Regarding the Dunlevy property in northeast British Columbia, Jameson’s strategy has been to retain that project for future development, subject to the economic environment. Given its low holding cost, the annual exploration licensing fee to the province was recently paid. Dunlevy was not part of the BRL deal and remains 100% owned by Jameson.

British Columbia

Elk Valley Coal Field - Crown Mountain Project

Crown Mountain is located within the Elk Valley coal field in southeastern British Columbia. Along with the Crowsnest coal field, this region is home to four of Canada’s producing coal mines. These four coal mines supply over 20 million tonnes per annum of export quality metallurgical coal, representing the majority of Canada’s total coal exports.

Crown Mountain is in close proximity to two significant metallurgical coal mines: Line Creek which is 12km to the north, and Elkview which is 8km to the southwest (Figure 2). The Project includes ten granted coal licences (418150, 418151, 418152, 418153, 418154, 418966, 419272, 419273, 419274, and 419275) covering an area of 5,630 hectares (Table 1).

Half-Year Financial Report Ended 31 December 2018

DIRECTORS REPORT

To confirm the reserve estimate, gain greater confidence in coal quality, and supply the data required for a BFS, Jameson undertook an extensive exploration program in the Canadian summer of 2018. Components of the program included (see Figure 3):

  • Sixteen additional coal quality large diameter core holes to supplement the seven that were drilled in 2013. Adequate volume was collected from these holes to allow for testing Crown Mountain coal in a pilot (movable wall) coke oven, a significant step up from the sole heated oven testing performed on the 2013 core. It also allows for a larger scale wash of the coal in a pilot plant, rather than being limited to traditional float/sink analysis.

  • Six small diameter core holes for additional overburden characterisation studies required for engineering the pit and spoil piles, and a prerequisite for the BFS.

  • Sixteen additional ground water monitoring wells required for the EA and BFS.

  • Geotechnical test pits and shallow drill holes to allow design engineering to proceed in the areas of mine pit and infrastructure.

The program was completed successfully.

Coal samples have been at the lab since October undergoing preparation and analysis. Due to the extraordinary number of companies conducting coal exploration, and a limited selection of labs, a large sample backlog exists resulting in extended processing delays, far in excess of what was experienced during the previous (2013) exploration program. The Crown Mountain samples are stored in a refrigerated unit to mitigate any oxidation and will undergo the following:

  • Drop/shatter testing to simulate coal handling and result in an expected size distribution. This step is complete.

  • A split of 1/8 of each individual seam split from each pad subjected to float/sink over a range of gravities. This step is complete for the North block samples but not the South block. The preliminary North block results were released to ASX on 16 January 2019.

  • Guided by the above results, a homogeneous blend of the remaining 7/8 sample will be made and shipped to a pilot wash plant in Denver, Colorado, USA, less a 500 KG sample for advanced float/sink washability testing. The North block blend departed the Calgary lab on 13 February.

  • The pilot plant will wash the blended coal and ship the clean product to several facilities for advanced coking coal and coke characterization, including CanMet for CSR (coke strength after reaction) and other testing, and a specialized lab for coal petrography. Some small samples will be retained for fines dewatering evaluation to assist plant design. The pilot wash for the North blend commenced on 19 February.

The geologic model has been updated with information obtained from the 2018 drill holes. This forms the basis for the BFS: the mining model can be updated, and the mine plan engineered to feasibility standards. The geologic model will be further refined once all coal quality results have been received.

DIRECTORS REPORT

Funding for the exploration program, EA activities, and the upcoming BFS is being provided by way of the Agreement between Jameson and BRL that was executed in July 2018. As announced to ASX on 29 June 2018, the key components are:

  • Bathurst (through its wholly owned Canadian subsidiary) invested C$4 million in Jameson’s Canadian subsidiary NWP Coal Canada (which holds the Crown Mountain Project) to sole fund the summer exploration program, and as a result earned an 8% shareholding interest in NWP.

  • Once exploration results are reported, Bathurst has the option to invest an additional C$7.5 million to sole fund the Bankable Feasibility Study (“BFS”) and the permitting required to construct a mine. Concurrent, however, with the exploration program and subsequent lab analysis, Bathurst has provided monthly advances to this Tranche, totalling C$2.8 million for the reporting period, plus an additional C$0.8 million through to the end of February. These funds are being applied toward EA and BFS related activities to keep the project on a fast track. The advances are included in the C$7.5 million Tranche, and not in addition to. Once completed, payment of the C$7.5 million results in Bathurst holding a 20% interest in NWP.

  • After the BFS is complete and the required permits have been issued, Bathurst has the option to sole fund the first C$110 million of construction costs, in the form of cash, which is anticipated to represent the cash component of a project financing package.

  • Upon fully funding all tranches, which total C$121.5 million, Crown Mountain will be a 50/50 joint venture between Jameson and Bathurst.

The relationship between Jameson and Bathurst has been strong, cooperative, and transparent. In addition to funding, Bathurst is providing valuable technical assistance on Crown Mountain from their experienced New Zealand based geology, coal quality/marketing, and coal washing staff.

Peace River Coal Field – Dunlevy

Dunlevy overlies the northwest extension of the Peace River coal field district of northeast British Columbia.

The Dunlevy property is located in a well-developed area, approximately 90 km from Fort St. John, a regional commercial centre. All weather highways and good quality secondary roads link the Project to Fort St. John and Chetwynd, where Canadian National Railway’s track can be accessed. The rail provides a path to the Ridley, Westshore, and Neptune coal terminals. There is also potential to reduce transportation costs by utilising the large man-made Williston Lake bordering the property to transport coal by barge to rail access at the industrial town of MacKenzie.

Dunlevy drilling and coal quality results were announced in 2014. No exploration is currently planned on Dunlevy in the short term, as the Company focuses its resources on the flagship Crown Mountain asset. However, as circumstances change with respect to the coking coal market, the Company may reassess its plans for Dunlevy.

Dunlevy consists of the two issued coal exploration licenses shown in Table 3:

Project Licence Number Status Area (Ha) Annual Rent
Dunlevy 418441 Granted 1,146 $11,460
Dunlevy 418442 Granted 1,388 $13,880
TOTAL 2,534 $25,340

DIRECTORS REPORT

CORPORATE MATTERS

In line with the Company’s philosophy to devote the maximum amount of its financial resources to project development, the CEO remains Jameson’s only full-time employee. He is assisted by consultants on the Crown Mountain project, including technical support from Bathurst. As Crown Mountain advances, it is anticipated NWP will hire a Project Manager.

Jameson’s objective of locating a strategic partner to participate in funding the balance of Crown Mountain’s permitting, design engineering, exploration, and the BFS has been achieved with execution of the Bathurst agreement. The advancement of Crown Mountain and the increase in coking coal prices continue to result in inquiries from interested parties; the Company investigates these opportunities but remains completely satisfied with the Bathurst relationship.

In July AustralianSuper, the Company’s largest shareholder, undertook the early exercise of 7,142,857 options at $0.105 for approximately $750,000.

During the half year, the Company proposed a replacement of the CEO’s previous option incentive package on the basis that it was no longer appropriate given evolving circumstances. A new incentive package was approved by shareholders at Jameson’s 2018 Annual General Meeting, which comprised the issue of 4 million CEO Incentive Options with exercise prices between $0.20 and $0.40, issued in 3 tranches. The options are exercisable between 2-4 years and a portion vest subject to the CEO remaining an executive employee of the Company for a period of up to 2 years.

The CEO’s existing 3 million performance rights which vest upon the achievement of key milestones relating to Crown Mountain project development, being environmental approval, funding of mine construction and commercial production, remain in effect.

In addition, each non-executive director of Jameson was awarded 1,200,000 options at exercise prices between $0.30 and $0.50. The options are exercisable between 3-5 years and a portion vest subject to the non-executives remaining as directors of the Company for a period of up to 2 years.

EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE

On 14 January 2019, the Company announced the Chief Gold Commissioner of British Columbia has issued four (4) new coal exploration licenses at its Crown Mountain Coking Coal project.

On 16 January 2019, the Company announced the initial coal quality testing results confirm coking properties at the Company’s Crown Mountain project.

Other than detailed above, no matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the half year period which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in future financial years.

SUMMARY

Jameson Resources is well positioned in coking coal with the Crown Mountain project. The PFS shows Crown Mountain to be a low-cost source of high quality steel-making coal, a market that is currently strong and forecast to grow.

The Company will continue to advance Crown Mountain as aggressively as conditions allow with the aim of bringing the project into production.

Half-Year Financial Report Ended 31 December 2018

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Half-Year Ended 31 December 2018

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Statement of compliance

The half-year consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements 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’.

The condensed half-year 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.

It is recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2018 and any public announcements made by Jameson Resources Limited during the half-year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001 and ASX Listing Rules.

The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period except for the impact of the new Standards and Interpretations effective 1 July 2018 disclosed below.

Basis of preparation

The half-year report has been prepared on a historical cost basis. Cost is based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted. For the purpose of preparing the half-year report, the half-year has been treated as a discrete reporting period.

Significant accounting estimates and judgement

The preparation of interim financial reports requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing this interim report, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial report for the year ended 30 June 2018 except for the following:

Standards and Interpretations applicable to 31 December 2018

The Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Company and effective for the half-year reporting period and determined that no material change is necessary to Group accounting policies.

As a result of this review, the Group has initially applied AASB 9 and AASB 15 from 1 July 2018.

Due to the transition methods chosen by the Group in applying AASB 9 and AASB 15, comparative information throughout the half year report has not been restated to reflect the requirements of the new standards.

The application of both AASB 9 and AASB 15 has not had a material impact on the financial statements of the Group.

7. SEGMENT REPORTING

Jameson Resources Limited operates predominantly in one industry being the mining and exploration industry in Canada.

Segment Information

Identification of reportable segments

The Company has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources.

The Company is managed primarily on the basis of its coal exploration in Canada and its corporate activities. Operating segments are therefore determined on the same basis

Reportable segments disclosed are based on aggregating operating segments where the segments are considered to have similar economic characteristics.

7. SEGMENT REPORTING (cont’)

(ii) Revenue by geographical region

There is no revenue attributable to external customers for the half year period ended 31 December 2018 (2017: nil).

  • (iii) Assets by geographical region

Reportable segment assets are located in Canada and Australia.

8. SHARE BASED PAYMENTS

During the half year, the Company issued Options to the Company’s CEO and Non-executive Directors as part of an employment long-term incentive plan.

CEO Options

The Company issued 4,000,000 CEO Options, replacing the LTI Options issued to Mr Terry Arthur Palm, on 15 November 2017 on the basis that they were no longer considered to be an appropriate incentive for the CEO to continue his employment with the Company. The CEO Options on issue have vesting conditions based on the following:

(i) the CEO remaining an executive employee of the Company for the vesting period stated in the following table:

CEO Options
Tranche
No. of Options Exercise
Price
Expiry Date Vesting Period
Expiry
1 750,000 A$0.20 31/12/2020 0
2 1,250,000 A$0.30 31/12/2021 27/11/2019
3 2,000,000 A$0.40 31/12/2022 27/11/2020

(ii) a bona fide takeover bid being declared unconditional and the bidder having acquired a relevant interest in at least 50.1% of the Company’s issued Shares.

Should the CEO’s employment as an executive of the Company terminate prior to the vesting of Tranche 2 and/or Tranche 3 CEO Options, the Board will have absolute discretion to determine if a pro-rata portion of the then unvested CEO Options automatically vest and may be exercised, having regard to the relevant performance of the Company and the CEO, the Vesting Conditions and any other circumstances which it considers are relevant in relation to the termination of the CEO’s employment.

Total Value of CEO Options $ 51,497 84,334 141,819

As at 31 December 2018, management has provided the best estimate of the number of options expected to vest.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

To the members of Jameson Resources Limited

Report on the Condensed Half-Year Financial Report

Conclusion

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Jameson Resources Limited (“the company”) which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018, the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes, and the directors’ declaration, for 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.

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 Jameson 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 .

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 gives a true and fair view and 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 Group’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 the company, 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.
