Lode Resources Ltd (formerly Lode Resources Pty Ltd)

ABN: 30 637 512 415

Directors' Report

30 June 2020

Review of operations (cont'd)

Subsequent to 30 June 2020, Lode Resources Ltd carried out surface exploration activities and will continue to do so prior to an Initial Public Offering and listing on the Australian Stock Exchange which is planned for the March Quarter of 2021.

The aim of this surface work is to advance the Company's three lead projects (Uralla Gold, Webbs Consol Silver and Trough Gully Copper) to a "drill ready" status. This work has included geological mapping, soil sampling, rock chip sampling, acquiring and processing previous geophysical survey data and carrying out an extensive Induced Polarisation survey.

The Company has recently completed a pre-Initial Public Offering placement to professional and sophisticated investors raising $773,000 before costs.

Significant changes in state of affairs

There have been no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Company during the period.

Dividends paid or recommended

No dividends were paid or declared during the period.

Events after the reporting date

On 12 October 2020, the Company was granted two new exploration licences, EL9003 Fender and EL9004 Elsinore. The licences have a combined exploration area of 318 km[2] with an expiry date of 12 October 2023.

During July 2020, the Company applied for two additional exploration licences, ELA6016 Tea Tree and ELA6020 Thor. In addition, on 29 October 2020, the Company applied for a further licence, ELA6153 Uralla West. Approval for these applications is pending as at the date of this report.

On 5 January 2021, the Company completed a placement to sophisticated investors raising $773,000 before costs by the issue of 7,730,000 ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.10 each.

Except for the above, no other matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial period which significantly affected or could significantly affect the operations of the Company, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the Company in future financial years.

Future developments and results

Likely developments in the operations of the Company and the expected results of those operations in future financial years have not been included in this report as the inclusion of such information is likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Company.

Environmental issues

The operations and proposed activities of the Group are subject to State and Federal laws and regulations concerning the environment. As with most exploration projects and mining operations, the Company's activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or field development proceeds. It is the Company's intention to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all applicable environmental laws.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the Period Ended 30 June 2020

The financial report covers Lode Resources Ltd as an individual entity. Lode Resources Ltd is a for-profit company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

The functional and presentation currency of Lode Resources Ltd is Australian dollars.

The financial report was authorised for issue by the Directors on 15 January 2021.

The Company was incorporated on 18 November 2019 and accordingly this is the first financial report presented.

On 21 October 2020, after a special resolution by shareholders, the Company applied to ASIC to become a public company.

1 Basis of Preparation

The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001.

These financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis.

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Income tax

The tax expense recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income comprises current income tax expense plus deferred tax expense.

Current tax is the amount of income taxes payable (recoverable) in respect of the taxable profit (loss) for the period and is measured at the amount expected to be paid to (recovered from) the taxation authorities, using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Current tax liabilities (assets) are measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.

Deferred tax is not provided for the following:

  • The initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss).

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and losses can be utilised.

Current and deferred tax is recognised as income or an expense and included in profit or loss for the period.

ABN: 30 637 512 415

Notes to the Financial Statements For the Period Ended 30 June 2020

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont'd)

(b) Goods and services tax (GST)

Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).

Receivables and payable are stated inclusive of GST.

Cash flows in the statement of cash flows are included on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified as operating cash flows.

(c) Current and non-current classification

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

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

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

(d) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprises cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

(e) Financial instruments

Financial instruments are recognised initially on the date that the Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

On initial recognition, all financial instruments are measured at fair value plus transaction costs (except for instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss where transaction costs are expensed as incurred).

Financial assets

All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.

Classification

On initial recognition, the Company classifies its financial assets into the following categories, those measured at:

  • amortised cost

Notes to the Financial Statements For the Period Ended 30 June 2020

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont'd)

(e) Financial instruments (cont'd)

Financial assets (cont'd)

Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets.

Amortised cost

Assets measured at amortised cost are financial assets where:

  • the business model is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

  • the contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

The Company's financial assets measured at amortised cost comprise trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position.

Subsequent to initial recognition, these assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method less provision for impairment.

Interest income, foreign exchange gains or losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss.

Impairment of financial assets

Impairment of financial assets is recognised on an expected credit loss (ECL) basis for the following assets:

  • financial assets measured at amortised cost

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial assets has increased significant since initial recognition and when estimating ECL, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis based on the Company's historical experience and informed credit assessment and including forward looking information.

The Company uses the presumption that an asset which is more than 30 days past due has seen a significant increase in credit risk.

The Company uses the presumption that a financial asset is in default when:

  • the other party is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Company in full, without recourse to the Company to actions such as realising security (if any is held); or

  • the financial assets is more than 90 days past due.

Lode Resources Ltd (formerly Lode Resources Pty Ltd)

ABN: 30 637 512 415

Notes to the Financial Statements For the Period Ended 30 June 2020

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont'd)

(e) Financial instruments (cont'd)

Financial assets (cont'd)

Credit losses are measured as the present value of the difference between the cash flows due to the Company in accordance with the contract and the cash flows expected to be received. This is applied using a probability weighted approach.

Other financial assets measured at amortised cost

Impairment of other financial assets measured at amortised cost are determined using the expected credit loss model in AASB 9. On initial recognition of the asset, an estimate of the expected credit losses for the next 12 months is recognised. Where the asset has experienced significant increase in credit risk then the lifetime losses are estimated and recognised.

Financial liabilities

The Company measures all financial liabilities initially at fair value less transaction costs, subsequently financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

The financial liabilities of the Company comprise trade payables, bank and other loans and lease liabilities.

(f) Exploration and development expenditure

Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through 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. As the asset is not available for use it is not depreciated or amortised.

Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit or loss in the period in which the decision to abandon that 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.

(g) Impairment of non-financial assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Company determines whether there is an evidence of an impairment indicator for non-financial assets.

Where an indicator exists and regardless for indefinite life intangible assets and intangible assets not yet available for use, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated.

Where assets do not operate independently of other assets, the recoverable amount of the relevant cashgenerating unit (CGU) is estimated.

ABN: 30 637 512 415

Notes to the Financial Statements For the Period Ended 30 June 2020

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont'd)

(g) Impairment of non-financial assets (cont'd)

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the higher of the fair value less costs of disposal and the value in use. Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from an asset or cashgenerating unit.

Where the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

Reversal indicators are considered in subsequent periods for all assets which have suffered an impairment loss.

(h) Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares and share options which vest immediately are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

(i) New Accounting Standards and Interpretations

The AASB has issued new and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have mandatory application dates for future reporting periods. The Company has decided not to early adopt these Standards.

3 Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

Company management make estimates and judgements during the preparation of these financial statements regarding assumptions about current and future events affecting transactions and balances.

These estimates and judgements are based on the best information available at the time of preparing the financial statements, however as additional information is known then the actual results may differ from the estimates.

The significant estimates and judgements made have been described below.

Key judgments - capitalisation of exploration and evaluation expenditure

The Company capitalises expenditure relating to exploration and evaluation where it is considered likely to be recoverable or where the activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves. While there are certain areas of interest from which no reserves have been extracted, are of the continued belief that such expenditure should not be written off since feasibility studies in such areas have not yet concluded. Such capitalised expenditure is carried at the end of the reporting period at $30,699.

13 Capital and Leasing Commitments

The NSW Division of Resource and Geoscience requires a commitment to a work program rather than an expenditure commitment. Work programs can be varied annually. The Company has budgeted minimum work programs for each year as shown below. However, it is anticipated that early exploration success in any project will result in higher expenditures for that project.

Objectives, policies and processes

The Board of Directors have overall responsibility for the establishment of Lode Resource’s financial risk management framework. This includes the development of policies covering specific areas such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, credit risk and the use of derivatives.

Risk management policies and systems will be reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities.

Mitigation strategies for specific risks faced are described below:

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk arises from the Company’s management of working capital. It is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company’s policy is to ensure that it will always have sufficient cash to allow it to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due.

Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Company.

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and deposits held.

The credit risk for liquid funds and other short-term financial assets is considered negligible, since the counterparties are reputable banks and governmental bodies with high quality external credit ratings.
