Los Cerros Limited Directors' Report 30 June 2021
==> picture [103 x 69] intentionally omitted <==
The Directors present their report, together with the financial statements, on the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as the 'consolidated entity', ‘Consolidated Group’ or the ‘Group’), consisting of Los Cerros Limited (referred to hereafter as ‘Los Cerros’, the 'Company' or the 'parent entity') and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the half-year ended 30 June 2021.
Directors
The following persons were Directors of Los Cerros Limited during the whole of the financial half-year and up to the date of this report:
Ross Ashton Non-Executive Chairman Jason Stirbinskis Managing Director Kevin Wilson Non-Executive Director
Principal Activities
Los Cerros Limited (ASX: LCL) (Los Cerros or the Company) is a gold/copper explorer with a dominant position within the Andes and Quinchia regions of the mid-Cauca Gold Belt of Colombia which hosts many major discoveries.
The Company’s focus is the mineral exploration on the assets held in the Andes and the Quinchia Gold Projects.
Dividends
There were no dividends paid, recommended or declared during the current or previous financial half-years.
Review of Operations
The loss for the consolidated entity after providing for income tax amounted to $2,318,237 (30 June 2020: loss of $1,877,960).
During the half-year, the Company continued to demonstrate significant drilling success at its 100% owned Quinchia Gold Project in Risaralda, Colombia. Drilling at the Tesorito South porphyry continued to deliver exceptional, globally significant drill results with mineralisation expanding, and remaining open, in every lateral direction tested in the period.
Most drill core assays announced for Tesorito in the period reported gold mineralization from surface and continuing for several hundred meters down hole with most notable results being[1] :
-
320m @ 1.5g/t Au from 2m below surface including 102m @ 2.11 g/t Au from 28m and 30m @ 2.47g/t Au and 0.12% Cu from 262m in TS-DH14;
-
629m @ 0.88g/t Au from surface including 460.9m @ 1.11g/t Au from surface in TS-DH16;
-
232.35m @ 1.15g/t Au from surface including 52.3m @ 2.10g/t Au from 72m in TS-DH17;
-
209m @ 1.01g/t Au from surface in TS-DH19 including 102m @ 1.33g/t Au from surface in TS-DH19; and,
-
222m @ 1.51g/t Au from surface including 59.5m @ 2.6g/t gold from surface in TS-DH24.
Of the above, Drill hole TS-DH16 is of significant importance as it is interpreted to have drilled through and exited the Tesorito South porphyry suite and then entered a new zone of porphyry mineralisation at depth, which the Company has termed the Tesorito West target. TS-DH24 also penetrated the new Tesorito West target at depth and also delivered the highest grade intercept encountered thus far with 36m @ 3.3g/t Au from surface within the above-mentioned 222m @ 1.51g/t Au.
In July 2021, the Company released drill core assays for TS-DH25 and TS-DH26[1] which were drilled from the same pad as TS-DH24 and also delivered high grade surface gold. This builds on the possibility that the Tesorito South porphyry core breaches the surface in this area and therefore introducing the potential for significant further extensions to the northeast beyond TS-DH24 drill pad.
1 See announcement 12 July ‘21 (TS-DH25, ‘26), 22 June ‘21 (TS-DH24), 28 May ’21 (TS-DH 18 ‘19 ‘22 ‘23), 19 April (TS-DH17, ‘20, ’21), 6 April 2021 (TS-DH16), 18 March 2021 (TS-DH15), 21 January 2021 (TS-DH12 ‘13 ‘14), 10 November 2020 (TS-DH10 ‘11), 10 September 2020 (TS-DH08), 9 October 2020 (TS-DH09) for assay results and 31 July 2018 and 30 August 2018 for the initial reporting of the assays for drill holes TS-DH01 to TS-DH07. The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information that affects the information contained in the announcement.

Los Cerros Limited Directors' Report 30 June 2021
==> picture [103 x 69] intentionally omitted <==
During the half-year, the Company commenced the first drilling program at the Ceibal porphyry target, which is located approximately 1km south and southwest of Miraflores and Tesorito respectively. Results of the first two holes were released to the ASX on 8 July 2021[2] . The assay results showed very encouraging and extensive mineralisation and porphyry signatures for the entire length of drill core for both holes:
CEDDH01: 500m @ 0.52g/t Au (uncut) from surface including;
-
72.0m @ 0.78g/t Au from surface including 24.0m @ 0.95g/t Au from 42m
-
CEDDH02: 586m @ 0.51g/t Au (uncut) from surface including:
-
52.0m @ 0.81g/t Au from 176m; and
-
14.1m @ 1.02g/t Au from 572.5m to end of hole.
The Chuscal porphyry target drilling campaign was completed early in the half year and successfully intersected two separate indications of gold porphyry systems within the expansive Chuscal anomalous surface footprint.
In the July-September 2021 quarter the Company commissioned and commenced a regional magnetic survey that is expected to provide valuable additional vectoring information for the next Chuscal drilling campaign and assist in the definition of other targets within the Quinchia Gold Project (Figure 1).
Concurrent with the magnetic survey, a deep penetrating IP program of the Tesorito/Miraflores area was commissioned which is expected to illuminate regional controlling structures and relationships.

Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies
These general purpose financial statements for the interim half-year reporting period ended 30 June 2021 have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001 , as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting .
These general purpose financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in annual financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2020 and any public announcements made by the Company during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .
The principal accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, unless otherwise stated.
New or Amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations Adopted
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
There are no new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory or have not been early adopted.
Going Concern
During the half-year ended 30 June 2021 the Consolidated Group incurred a net loss after tax of $2,318,237 and concluded with a cash balance of $5,084,178 at 30 June 2021 (year ended 31 December 2020: net loss after tax of $3,717,752 and concluded with a cash balance of $7,814,764 at 31 December 2020). Since 30 June 2021 and until the release of this Report, the Company has announced the completion of a $20 million capital raise and a further $2,494,547 received from exercised options. As at the date of this Report, the Company has approximately $24 million in cash and cash equivalents. This sum is expected to comfortably fund an upgraded exploration program and enable the Company to meet its debts as and when they fall due over the coming 12 months. Therefore, these financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
Note 2. Operating Segments
Identification of Reportable Operating Segments
The Company’s primary activity is mineral exploration in the geographic area of South America. This focus is consistent with the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources.
The Group is managed primarily for the sole purpose of mineral exploration.
The information reported to the Chief Operating Decision Makers (“CODM”) is on a monthly basis.
Intersegment Transactions
There are no intersegment transactions.
Segment Assets
Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated to that segment that receives majority economic value from that asset. In the majority of instances, segment assets are clearly identifiable on the basis of their nature and physical location.
Segment Liabilities
Liabilities are allocated to segments where there is a direct nexus between the incurrence of the liability and the operations of the segment. Borrowings and tax liabilities are generally considered to relate to the Group as a whole and are not allocated. Segment liabilities include trade and other payables and certain direct borrowings.
The following items of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities are not allocated to operating segments as they are not considered part of the core operations of any segment:
-
Income tax expense
-
Deferred tax assets and liabilities

Exploration and evaluation capitalised at 30 June 2021 represents the Miraflores Prospect within the Quinchia Gold Project (including the Chuscal Prospect that was fully acquired from AngloGold Ashanti Colombia SA during the year ended 31 December 2020) and tenements held by Andes Resources Pty Ltd (via its subsidiary, Andes Resources EP S.A.S.) which are located in the Antioquia, Risaralda and Choco, Departments (States) of Colombia.
Capitalised costs amounting to $2,325,943 (including the effects of exchange differences) for the half-year ended 30 June 2021 (for the half-year ended 30 June 2020: $1,541,046) have been included in cash flows from investing activities.
Recoverability of the carrying amount of exploration assets is dependent upon the successful recovery of ore reserves. Impairment indicators in AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources are considered for each area of interest. No capitalised amounts were impaired during the half-years ended 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2021.
In line with prior periods, any additional expenditure relating to the tenements held by Andes Resources EP S.A.S. was directly expensed and recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

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 30 June 2021 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
