METAL HAWK LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 30 June 2021

CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

Dear fellow shareholders,

It gives me great pleasure to present to you Metal Hawk’s first Annual Report as a public company.

Since listing in November 2020, Metal Hawk has fulfilled its commitment to vigorously explore its portfolio of gold and nickel projects in the Eastern Goldfields and Albany-Fraser regions of Western Australia.

The Company has completed more than 40,000 metres of drilling across three of its projects, generating positive results from each. The Berehaven Nickel Project, located 20km south-east of Kalgoorlie, has been our standout success, delivering a new high grade nickel sulphide discovery.

Berehaven was established through Metal Hawk’s consolidation of the Company’s Blair North and Clinker Hill projects with surrounding tenure to form a 95 square kilometre contiguous project. The project is situated immediately north of the Blair Nickel Mine, which produced 32,900 tonnes of contained nickel between 1989 and 2008.

Metal Hawk’s re-assessment of the geology at Berehaven identified potential for nickel mineralisation within an interpreted ultramafic sequence which had not previously been recognised. Aircore drilling carried out by the Company in May 2021 validated this interpretation with the intersection of a broad zone of strongly anomalous nickel along with copper, platinum and palladium, which together are indicative of a magmatic nickel sulphide deposit.

Follow-up reverse circulation (RC) drilling commenced in September of this year and the second hole in this maiden program intersected massive sulphide mineralisation on the basal contact of the ultramafic grading 5.89% nickel. The site of this discovery has been named the Commodore Prospect.

At the date of this report, both diamond and RC drilling was underway to evaluate the extent of nickel mineralisation at Commodore. So far we have drill tested less than 300 metres of basal contact out of approximately 10 kilometres of interpreted contact within the Berehaven Project. This leaves a lot of work to be done, but great potential to deliver further discoveries.

Elsewhere, an extensive aircore drilling program was completed at the Kanowna East Project, eight kilometres north-east of the +5 million-ounce Kanowna Belle gold mine. The aircore program returned numerous intercepts, including an eight metre intersection at the Western Tiger Prospect grading at 4.5 g/t gold. Follow-up RC drilling commenced at Kanowna East post year end.

A number of gold targets were also generated from Metal Hawk’s reconnaissance auger and aircore drilling at the Emu Lake Project and these will be further evaluated in the current year.

Kanowna East and Emu Lake are also prospective for nickel sulphide and both of these projects, together with Metal Hawk’s Fraser South Project, are subject to an earn-in and joint venture agreement with well regarded nickel producer, Western Areas Limited. Post year end, Western Areas commenced a substantial aircore campaign over approximately 10 kilometres of prospective komatiitic rocks within the Emu Lake tenements.

There have also been positive developments in relation to Metal Hawk’s Viking Gold Project in the Albany-Fraser Belt. In March this year, the 210 square kilometre exploration licence application securing Viking was granted. In September, Chalice Mining Limited, who are earning a joint venture interest in the project, announced that they will be spinning out their gold assets via the $15 to $30 million IPO of Falcon Metals Limited. Viking will be one of Falcon’s core projects. We see having a well-funded gold focused company take control of exploration at Viking as a very positive development for the project.

Having well credentialled earn-in partners contributing exploration expenditure to a number of our projects leverages our exposure to discovery success and reduces funding requirements. However in October this year, in response to the emergence of Berehaven as an advanced exploration project of some scale, the Company elected to utilise its capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 to raise an additional $2.4 million of equity capital. This well supported capital raise lifted cash reserves to approximately $5.5 million (after costs) enabling Metal Hawk to comfortably

METAL HAWK LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 30 June 2021

accelerate exploration at Berehaven while retaining a tight capital structure with only 54,665,394 million shares on issue.

In closing, I want to say how very proud I am to be associated with this company. Metal Hawk has had outstanding success in its first year as a listed entity, which is testament to the skill and hard work of its Managing Director, Will Belbin, and the small industrious team that works with him. I am sure I speak for all shareholders when I thank them for their efforts.

I would also like to thank the contractors, consultants, advisors and our joint venture partners who have supported Metal Hawk through its formation and first 12 months of active exploration.

Lastly, I wish to thank all of Metal Hawk’s shareholders for their support, but in particular those who contributed seed capital, who invested in the IPO or who participated in our recent capital raise and have chosen to remain with us for the journey ahead as we strive to build on the success of our first year.

Yours Sincerely,

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Projects

Metal Hawk Limited (“Metal Hawk”, “the Company”) has a suite of projects in Western Australia’s Eastern Goldfields and Albany-Fraser regions that are prospective for gold and nickel.

The Company’s main objective is to build shareholder value by making early-stage mineral discoveries through low-cost exploration.

During the year ended 30 June 2021 Metal Hawk worked actively on its goldfields projects with extensive aircore drilling programmes returning significant results across multiple projects. Substantial follow-up work plans are in progress.

Since the end of the 2021 financial year, the Company has made a significant new high grade massive nickel sulphide discovery at the Berehaven Nickel Project (formally the Blair North and Clinker Hill Projects).

Metal Hawk has an Earn-In and Joint Venture Agreement with Western Areas Limited (ASX: WSA, “Western Areas”) on three of its projects and an Earn-In Agreement with Chalice Mining Limited (ASX: CHN, or “Chalice”) on the Viking Gold Project.

The Kanowna East, Emu Lake and Fraser South Projects are subject to a Joint Venture (JV) earn-in agreement whereby Western Areas will spend $7 million over five years to earn a 75% interest in each project (WSA JV). Stage 1 involves $3 million expenditure over three years to earn a 51% interest, while Stage 2 involves a further $4 million expenditure over two years for a total 75% interest. Metal Hawk is free-carried to decision to mine and retains the gold rights to Kanowna East and Emu Lake.

METAL HAWK LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 30 June 2021

The Viking Earn-in Agreement envisaged Chalice spending up to $2.75 million on exploration over 4.5 years to earn a 70% interest in the Project. Since the end of the 2021 financial year, Chalice has indicated Viking will be vended into a new gold-focused spin-out, Falcon Metals.

Kanowna East Project (WSA JV, MHK gold rights 100%)

The Kanowna East project is located approximately 30km northeast of Kalgoorlie, approximately 9km northeast of the +5 million-ounce Kanowna Belle gold mine and 12km south of the Silver Swan/Black Swan nickel mine. The project is made up of two granted tenements: one exploration licence and one small prospecting licence.

Since listing in November 2020, Metal Hawk has completed 408 aircore (AC) holes for 27,773m at Kanowna East. Drilling has focused on testing beneath extensive lake clays into the weathered Archaean basement for indicators of gold mineralisation. Gold has been intersected at and near the base of paleochannel sand and in weathered Archaean saprolite beneath this cover sequence.

Broad zones of shallow gold mineralisation have been intersected in AC drilling over two main prospect areas at Little Lake (Figure 2) and Western Tiger (Figure 3). Numerous high-grade shallow intercepts have been received, with better results received to date including (ASX Announcements 4th February, 2nd March, 15th April, 3rd June 2021):

Emu Lake Project (WSA JV, MHK gold rights 100%)

The Emu Lake Project is located 75km northeast of Kalgoorlie and consists of two granted Exploration Licences covering approximately 65km[2] . The project, which is included in the Western Areas JV, is considered prospective for gold and nickel sulphide mineralisation. Historical exploration identified high grade nickel sulphides including intersections of up to 18.8% nickel at the Binti prospect, located approximately 10km south-south-east along strike from the Emu Lake Project. Previous gold exploration on the project has been limited to shallow geochemical sampling.

In November 2020 Metal Hawk completed an initial programme of aircore drilling (59 holes for 3,801 metres). Strongly anomalous gold was intersected within weathered felsic rocks and associated quartz veining, with EMKA014 intersecting 7m @ 0.26g/t Au from 68m (to EOH).

Following three campaigns of auger drilling and a total of 1382 holes drilled, the Company has identified numerous surface gold anomalies in various stratigraphic positions across the greenstone belt. Metal Hawk

Berehaven Nickel Project (formerly Blair North and Clinker Hill) (MHK 100%)

The Blair North and Clinker Hill projects were located approximately 20km to 30km east- south-east from Kalgoorlie respectively. The Blair North tenements were situated approximately 3km north of the Blair Nickel mine (which produced 1.26Mt @ 2.62% Ni for 32,900 tonnes of contained nickel) and the Clinker Hill tenements were a further 10km east ( Figure 5 ).

Moving loop electromagnetic surveys (MLTEM) were completed as part of a systematic nickel sulphide exploration program with the assistance of industry-leading geophysical consultants Newexco Exploration Pty Ltd. The aim of the program was to test several geologically favourable ultramafic rock units for conductive responses related to massive nickel sulphides. In May 2021 a total of 34 aircore holes were drilled for 1,419m across both projects, targeting several geochemical and geophysical features associated with these prospective ultramafic rocks and to test historical Rotary Air Blast (RAB) Ni-Cu anomalies at Blair North.

METAL HAWK LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 30 June 2021

Metal Hawk’s AC drilling at Blair North ( Figure 6 ) confirmed that the highly anomalous Ni-Cu zone intersected in historical RAB drilling also contains elevated PGEs (platinum and palladium) which suggests a likely association with magmatic nickel sulphide mineralisation. Drillhole BNMA001 intersected 54m @ 0.32% Ni, 279ppm Cu, 8ppb Pt and 19ppb Pd from 35m, which included 5m @ 0.57% Ni, 450ppm Cu, 29ppb Pt and 32ppb Pd from 84m to EOH.

Viking Project (CHN earn-in)

Metal Hawk’s high-grade Viking Gold Project tenement (E63/1963) near Norseman was granted in March 2021. The tenement covers an area of 210km[2] and is located approximately 30km east of Norseman, within the southern portion of the world-class Albany-Fraser Province. The tenement is subject to an earn-in agreement with CGM (WA) Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Chalice Mining.

Since the end of the 2021 financial year, Chalice has decided to demerge Viking into a gold-focused company named Falcon Metals Ltd as part of a new IPO. Metal Hawk believes this is a positive outcome for shareholders that will result in a renewed focus on the project. Drilling at Viking is currently scheduled for the December 2021 quarter.

METAL HAWK LIMITED REMUNERATION REPORT For the year ended 30 June 2021

REMUNERATION REPORT - AUDITED

This report, which forms part of the Directors’ report, outlines the remuneration arrangements in place for the Directors of Metal Hawk Limited for the year ended 30 June 2021. The information provided in this remuneration report has been audited as required by Section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001.

The Remuneration Report details the remuneration arrangements for the Directors who are defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Company, directly or indirectly, whether executive or otherwise.

Remuneration philosophy

The objective of the Company’s executive remuneration framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results achieved. The framework aligns executive remuneration with the achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value for shareholders, and it is considered to conform to the market best practice for the delivery of remuneration. The Board of Directors (“the Board”) ensures that executive remuneration satisfies the following key criteria for remuneration governance practices:

  • Set competitive remuneration packages to attract and retain high calibre employees;

  • Link executive rewards to shareholder value creation; and

  • Establish appropriate, demanding performance hurdles for variable executive remuneration.

Remuneration and Nomination Committee

The Company at present does not have a Remuneration and Nomination Committee. Due to the size and nature of the Company, all members of the Board would be involved with Remuneration and Nomination Committee meetings, therefore, the Board is currently responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the Key Management Personnel.

The Board assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration of Key Management Personnel on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with an overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high-quality Board and executive team.

Remuneration structure

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of Executive Director and Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration is separate and distinct.

Executive Director remuneration

Remuneration consists of fixed remuneration and variable remuneration (compromising short-term and long-term incentive schemes).

Fixed remuneration

Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Board. The process consists of a review of relevant comparative remuneration in the market and internally and, where appropriate, external advice on policies and practices. The Board has access to external, independent advice where necessary.

Variable remuneration - Short-term incentive scheme

Short term incentives (STI) reward employees for their individual achievements and contributions to business success and organisation outcomes during the financial year. STI’s are a variable reward and are not guaranteed. Upon implementation of an STI scheme, each year, the Board will consider the appropriate targets and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to link the STI and the level of payout if targets are met. This may include capping the maximum payout under the STI scheme and determining the minimum levels of performance to trigger payment of the STI’s. Depending upon the level of management, KPI’s may include the following:

  • satisfactory completion of development programs, on time and on budget;

  • securing funding to support planned work programs;

  • investor relations; and

  • consideration of safety performance, corporate governance, external relations and general management.

19

METAL HAWK LIMITED REMUNERATION REPORT For the year ended 30 June 2021

Remuneration structure (continued)

Variable remuneration - Short-term incentive scheme (continued)

At this stage the Company does not award any STIs.

Variable remuneration - Long-term incentive scheme

The Company makes long-term incentive payments such as share options and / or performance rights to reward Executive Directors and other key management in a manner that aligns this element of remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth.

The Company has adopted an Employee Securities Incentive Plan ( ESIP ). Under the ESIP, the Company may grant options to eligible Directors, employees and consultants to attract, motivate and retain key employees over a period of three years up to a maximum of 5% of the Company’s total issued ordinary shares at the date of the grant. Director options are granted at the discretion of the Board and approved by shareholders. Performance hurdles are not attached to vesting periods however, the Board determines appropriate vesting periods to provide rewards over time.

Performance on shareholder wealth

The remuneration of the Company’s key management personnel, including any component of remuneration that consists of securities in the Company, is not formally linked to the prior performance of the Company. The rationale for this approach is that the Company is in the exploration phase, and it is currently not appropriate to link remuneration to factors such as profitability or share price.

The table below sets out summary information about the Company’s earnings and movements in shareholder’s wealth for the three years to 30 June 2021:

years to 30 June 2021:
2021 2020 2019
Loss before income tax ($) 1,465,766 912,240 66,725

Net tangible assets (NTA) ($) 3,862,120 207,449 238,727
NTA Backing (cents) 8.17 1.59 2.53

During the financial years noted above, there were no dividends paid or other returns of capital made by the Company to shareholders.

Non-Executive Director remuneration

The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level that provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain Non-Executive Directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost that is acceptable to shareholders.

The ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of Non-Executive Directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. The constitution of the Company adopted prior to listing specifies the maximum annual aggregate of Non-Executive Director remuneration is currently set at $300,000.

20

METAL HAWK LIMITED REMUNERATION REPORT For the year ended 30 June 2021

Remuneration structure (continued)

Non-Executive Director remuneration (continued)

The amount of aggregate remuneration and the manner in which it is apportioned amongst Non-Executive Directors is reviewed annually. The Board considers advice from external consultants as well as the fees paid to Non-Executive Directors of comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process. No external consultants were utilised in the current year.

Each Non-Executive Director receives a fee for being a Director of the Company which is inclusive of statutory superannuation and membership of sub-committees.

The Board reviews the workload and activities undertaken by each Director.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021

SECTION 1 BASIS OF PREPARATION

Metal Hawk Limited presents its financial statements in a format and style that is relevant and clear to shareholders and other users. In preparing the 2021 financial statements, we have grouped notes into sections under six key categories:

  4. Assets and liabilities supporting exploration and evaluation

  5. Property, plant and equipment and lease liabilities

  6. Equity and funding

  7. Other disclosures

Significant accounting policies specific to one note are included within that note and where possible, wording has been simplified to provide clearer commentary on the financial report of the Company.

There have been no changes to the Company’s accounting policies that are no longer disclosed in the financial statements.

1.1 GENERAL INFORMATION

31

METAL HAWK LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

The application of accounting policies requires the use of judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if it affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Information about judgements made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognised in the financial statements and information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in material adjustment are included in the following notes:

Share-based payment transactions

The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using a Black-Scholes model, using the assumptions detailed in note 7.1.

Exploration and evaluation costs

Exploration and evaluation costs are capitalised on the basis that the entity will commence commercial production in the future, from which time the costs will be amortised in proportion to the depletion of the mineral resources. Key judgements are applied in considering costs to be capitalised which includes determining expenditures directly related to these activities and allocating overheads between those that are expensed and capitalised. In addition, costs are only capitalised that are expected to be recovered either through successful development or sale of the relevant mining interest. Factors that could impact the future commercial production at the mine include the level of reserves and resources, future technology changes, which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes and changes in commodity prices. To the extent that capitalised costs are determined not to be recoverable in the future, they will be written off in the period in which this determination is made. Refer note 4.1.

Contingent consideration

The Company executed several asset acquisitions during the current and prior periods, of which, deferred contingent consideration has been agreed as disclosed at note 7.6. The Company holds the right, in their complete discretion, to settle any deferred consideration payable upon achievement of certain milestones via payment of cash or issue of equity. Judgement has been exercised in determining the fair value of consideration.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may have, on the Company based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the operations of the Company, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the Company operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the Company unfavourable as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Asset acquisitions

Where an acquisition does not meet the definition of a business combination, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of an asset comprises the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities assumed, and the equity interests issued by the Company. The consideration transferred also includes the fair value of any asset, liability or equity resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition related costs with regards to the acquisition are capitalised. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition are measured at their fair value at the date of acquisition.

32

METAL HAWK LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (continued)

Asset acquisitions (continued)

Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred and/or contingent, the probability of making these future payments is assessed at acquisition date and measured accordingly. The amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at the date of exchange. Contingent consideration is classified either as equity or a financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability are subsequently re-measured to fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.

Adoption of new and revised standards

Standards and interpretations applicable to 30 June 2021

For the year ended 30 June 2021, the Directors have reviewed all new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Company and effective for the reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2020.

As a result of this review, the Directors have determined that there is no material impact of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Company and therefore no material change is necessary to Company accounting policies.

The following Accounting Standard and Interpretations are most relevant to the Company:

Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework)

The Company has adopted the revised Conceptual Framework from 1 July 2020. The Conceptual Framework contains new definition and recognition criteria as well as new guidance on measurement that affects several Accounting Standards, but it has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted

The Directors have also reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted that are relevant to the Company and effective for the reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2021.

As a result of this review, the Directors have determined that there is no material impact of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted on the Company and therefore no material change is necessary to Company accounting policies.

SECTION 2 RESULTS FOR THE YEAR

This section focuses on the results and performance of the Company, with disclosures including segmental information, components of the operating profit, taxation and earnings per share.

2.1 OPERATING SEGMENTS

Accounting Policy

AASB 8 Operating Segments requires operating segments to be identified based on internal reports about components of the Company that are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance.

The Company’s operating segment has been determined with reference to the management accounts used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker to make decisions regarding the Company’s operations and allocation of working capital.

Based on the quantitative thresholds included in AASB 8, there is only one reportable segment, being base minerals exploration and evaluation in Western Australia.

The revenues and results of this segment are those of the Company as a whole and are set out in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and the assets and liabilities of the Company as a whole are set out in the statement of financial position.

There have been no changes to the basis of segmentation or the measurement basis for the segment profit or loss since 30 June 2020.

2.2 PERSONNEL EXPENSES AND EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

2.3 LOSS PER SHARE

Accounting Policy

Basic earnings per share is the amount of a company’s profit or loss for a reporting period that is available to the ordinary shareholders of its common stock that are outstanding during the reporting period. The amount presented is on a per share basis that is calculated by division of the profit or loss by the weighted average number of shares on issue for the year.

Basic and diluted loss per share

Earnings / (loss) per share (EPS) is the amount of post-tax profit or loss attributable to each share.

The calculation of basic loss per share at 30 June 2021 has been based on the loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding.

Diluted EPS takes account of the dilutive effect of all potential ordinary shares, being share options on issue.

  • At 30 June 2021, 17,925,000 options (2020: 11,250,000 options) were excluded from diluted weighted average number of ordinary shares calculation as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

2.4 INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Accounting Policy

Income tax expense or benefit comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from, or paid to, the taxation authorities. Current tax is based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance date.

Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax base used for calculating taxable profits. Deferred tax balances are disclosed net to the extent that they relate to taxes levied by the same authority and the Company has the right of set-off.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probably that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the assets to be recovered. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on substantively enacted rates at the balance date.

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the income statement.

2.4 INCOME TAX EXPENSE (continued)

Accounting Policy (continued)

Other taxes

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:

  • When the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and

  • Receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payable in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows 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.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.

SECTION 3 WORKING CAPITAL DISCLOSURES

This section focuses on the cash funding available to the Company and working capital position at year end.

3.1 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Accounting Policy

Cash comprises cash at bank and in hand.

Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position.

For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

SECTION 4 ASSETS AND LIABILITIES SUPPORTING EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION

This section focuses on the assets and liabilities which form the core of the ongoing business, including those assets and liabilities which support ongoing exploration and evaluation as well as capital and other commitments existing at year end.

Key estimates and assumptions in this section

Indicators of impairment for exploration and evaluation assets

The Company has reviewed exploration and evaluation assets for indicators of impairment in accordance with AASB 6 and has concluded that capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure was not impaired at year end. In making this evaluation, management is required to make assessments on the status of each project and the future plans towards successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively sale, of the respective areas of interest.

4.1 EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION EXPENDITURE

Accounting Policy

Exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources is the search for mineral resources after the entity has obtained legal rights to explore in a specific area, as well as the determination of the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting the mineral resource. Accordingly, exploration and evaluation expenditures are those expenditures incurred by the Company in connection with the exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources before the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource are demonstrable.

Accounting for exploration and evaluation expenditures is assessed separately for each ‘area of interest’. An ‘area of interest’ is an individual geological area which is considered to constitute a favourable environment for the presence of a mineral deposit or has been proved to contain such a deposit.

Exploration and evaluation costs are capitalised on the basis that the entity will commence commercial production in the future, from which time the costs will be amortised in proportion to the depletion of the mineral resources. Key judgements are applied in considering costs to be capitalised which includes determining expenditures directly related to these activities and allocating overheads between those that are expensed and capitalised. In addition, costs are only capitalised that are expected to be recovered either through successful development or sale of the relevant mining interest. Factors that could impact the future commercial production at the mine include the level of reserves and resources, future technology changes, which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes and changes in commodity prices. To the extent that capitalised costs are determined not to be recoverable in the future, they will be written off in the period in which this determination is made.

A total of $103,201 (2020: $194,501) has been expensed during the financial year for exploration expenditure on tenements for which tenement applications were still in progress and therefore an inability to capitalise expenditure under AASB 6 is present due to absence of tenement ownership.

SECTION 5 NON-CURRENT ASSETS AND LEASE LIABILITIES

5.1 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Accounting Policy

Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment.

Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and recognised net within “other gains and losses” in profit or loss.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated over the depreciable amount, which is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its residual value.

Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment, since this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset.

The estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:

The estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:
Plant and equipment
3 – 20 years
Motor vehicles

5.2 RIGHT OF USE ASSETS

Accounting Policy

Recognition and measurement

The Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract. The Company will recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and lease of low value assets. For these leases, the Group recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability (Note 5.3), lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received and any initial direct costs. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.

Variable rents that do not depend on an index or rate are not included in the measurement of the lease liability and the right-of-use asset. The related payments are recognised as an expense in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs and are included in the line “general and administrative expenses” in profit and loss.

Amortisation

Right-of-use assets are amortised over the shorter period of lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. If a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Company expects to exercise a purchase option, the related right-of-use asset is amortisation over the useful life of the underlying asset. The amortisation starts at the commencement date of the lease.

5.3 LEASE LIABILITIES

Accounting Policy

Recognition and measurement

The Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract. The Company will recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and lease of low value assets. For these leases, the Group recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by using the rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise:

  • Fixed lease payments

    • Variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date
    • Amount expected to be payable by lessee under residual guarantee values - Exercise price or purchase options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise these options - Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the exercise of an early termination option

The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using the effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.

The holders of ordinary shares are entitled to receive dividends as declared from time and are entitled to one vote per share at meetings of the Company. Option holders cannot participate in any new share issues by the Company without exercising their options.

In the event of a winding up of the Company, ordinary shareholders rank after all other shareholders (if any) and creditors and are fully entitled to any proceeds on liquidation.

All issued shares are fully paid.

The Company has also share options on issue (see note 7.1).

Nature and purpose of reserves

SECTION 7 OTHER DISCLOSURES

The disclosures in this section focuses on share schemes in operation and financial risk management of the Company. Other mandatory disclosures, such as details of related party transactions, can also be found here.

7.1 SHARE-BASED PAYMENT PLANS

Accounting Policy

The share option programme allows Directors, employees and consultants to receive rights to acquire shares of the Company. The grant date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognised as a personnel expense or professional fees expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees unconditionally become entitled to the awards. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market vesting conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognised as an expense is based on the number of awards that do not meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.

Where the fair value of an employee share option has been recognised as a share-based payment and the option lapses on expiry, the total amount of the share-based payment expense is transferred from the share-based payment reserve to accumulated losses.

The share-based payment expense included within the financial statements can be broken down as follows:

7.1 SHARE-BASED PAYMENT PLANS (continued)

Share-based payment programme

The Company has adopted an Employee Securities Incentive Plan (“ESIP”). Under the ESIP, the Company may grant options and rights to Company eligible employees to acquire securities to a maximum of 5% of the Company’s total issued ordinary shares at the date of the grant. The fair value of share options granted is measured using the Black Scholes option pricing model.

The options and rights vest on a time scale as specified in the ESIP and are granted for no consideration. Options and rights granted under the plan carry no dividend or voting rights. When exercisable, each option is converted into one ordinary share. The maximum term of an option is 5 years from grant date and the exercise price is settled in cash.

Options may not be transferred other than to an associate of the holder.

7.2 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Accounting Policy

Recognition and derecognition

Financial assets and liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.

Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred.

A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.

Classification and initial measurement of financial assets

Except for any trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are measured at the transaction price in accordance with AASB 15, all financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs (where applicable).

For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets, other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments, are classified into the following categories:

  • amortised cost;

  • fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL);

  • equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI);

  • debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).

All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance costs, finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables which is presented within other expenses.

The classification is determined by both:

  • the entity’s business model for managing the financial asset; and

  • the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.

48

METAL HAWK LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

7.2 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

Accounting Policy (continued)

  • Subsequent remeasurement of financial assets Financial assets at amortised cost Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the assets meet the following conditions (and are not designated as FVTPL): • they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets to collect its contractual cash flows;

• the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised costs using the effective interest method. Impairment of financial assets AASB 9’s impairment requirements use more forward-looking information to recognise expected credit losses – the expected credit loss (ECL) model. Instruments within the scope of the new requirements included loans and other debt-type financial assets measured at amortised cost and FVOCI, trade receivables, contract assets recognised and measured under AASB 15 and loan commitments that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss. Recognition of credit losses is no longer dependent on the Company first identifying a credit loss event. Instead the Company considers a broader range of information when assessing credit risk and measuring expected credit losses, including past events, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the expected collectability of the future cash flows of the instrument. In applying this forward-looking approach, a distinction is made between: • financial instruments that have not deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition or that have low credit risk (‘Level 1’); and • financial instruments that have deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition and whose credit risk is not low (‘Level 2’). • ‘Level 3’ would cover financial assets that have objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date. 12-month expected credit losses are recognised for the first category whilst ‘lifetime expected credit losses’ are recognised for the second category. The Company does not have any material expected credit losses. Measurement of the expected credit losses is determined by a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses over the expected life of the financial instrument. The Company makes use of a simplified approach in accounting for trade and other receivables and records the loss allowance as lifetime expected credit losses. These are the expected shortfalls in contractual cash flows, considering the potential for default at any point during the life of the financial instrument. In calculating, the Company uses its historical experience, external indicators and forward-looking information to calculate the expected credit losses using a provision matrix.

All interest-related charges and, if applicable, changes in an instrument’s fair value that are reported in profit or loss are included within finance costs or finance income. Derivative financial instruments Derivative financial instruments are accounted for at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL). The Company did not have any derivative financial instruments during the current or previous financial year.

49

METAL HAWK LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

7.2 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

Classification and measurement of financial liabilities

The Company’s financial liabilities include borrowings, trade and other payables and derivative financial instruments.

Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs unless the Company designated a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss.

Subsequently, financial liabilities are initially measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method except for derivatives and financial liabilities designated at FVTPL, which are carried subsequently at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss.

Capital risk management

The Company manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to shareholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance.

The Company‘s overall strategy remains unchanged from 2020.

The capital structure of the Company consists of cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to equity holders of the Company, comprising issued capital, reserves and retained earnings.

The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

Operating cash flows are used to maintain and expand operations, as well as to make routine expenditures such as tax and general administrative outgoings.

Financial risk management objectives

The Company is exposed to market risk (including interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

The Company’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed on a continuous basis to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities. The Company does not trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.

Market risk

The Company’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in interest rates. As there are no foreign operations or sales of commodities at present, the Company is not exposed to foreign exchange risk or commodity price risk. Fair value risk is managed by monitoring interest rate movements and limiting the duration of term deposits. There has been no change to the Company’s exposure to market risks or the manner in which it manages and measures the risk from the previous period.

Foreign currency exchange rate risk management

The Company is not exposed to foreign currency risk.

Interest rate risk management

The Company does not currently have any outstanding borrowings, with exposure to interest rate risk limited to interest bearing cash and term deposits.

50

METAL HAWK LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

7.2 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

The Company’s exposure to interest rates on financial assets and financial liabilities are detailed in the liquidity risk management section of this note.

Interest rate risk sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for non-derivative instruments at the balance date.

At balance date, if interest rates had been 100 points higher or lower and all other variables were held constant, the Company’s profit or loss would increase / (decrease) by $14,406 / (2020: $1,828).

The Company’s sensitivity to interest rates has remained constant during the year due to having minimal exposure to interest rates at the current time. The Company’s only exposure to interest rates is through term deposits held with financial institutions and implicit interest calculated on lease liabilities.

Credit risk management

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty fails to discharge an obligation to the Company. The Company is exposed to credit risk from financial assets including cash and cash equivalents held at banks, term deposits held with banks and trade and other receivables.

The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties.

The Company only transacts with entities that are rated the equivalent of investment grade and above. This information is supplied by independent rating agencies where available and, if not available, the Company uses publicly available financial information and its own trading record to rates its customers.

The Company’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored, and the aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties.

The Company does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics. The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks or government agencies with high credit ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies.

The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, represents the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk.

Liquidity risk management

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, who have built an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Company’s short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements.

The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate banking and borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

Non-derivative financial liabilities

The table on the following page details the Company’s expected contractual maturities for its non-derivative financial liabilities.

These have been drawn up based on undiscounted contractual maturities of the financial liabilities based on the earliest date the Company can be required to repay.

The table include both interest and principal cash flows.

Fair value measurement

Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position are grouped into three levels of a fair value hierarchy.

The three levels are defined based on the observability of significant inputs to the measurement, as follows:

  • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

  • Level 2: 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); and

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

The Directors consider that the carrying amounts of current receivables, current payables, and current interestbearing borrowings, approximate their fair values.

7.3 RELATED PARTIES

7.5 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On 29 July 2021, the Company announced it had signed a binding term sheet with Horizon Minerals to secure exclusive nickel rights on 12 tenements adjacent to the Blair North and Clinker Hill Projects. A formal agreement is currently being negotiated and must be executed on or before 11 October 2021.

On 2 August 2021, the Company announced that its application for the Norseman East Project, tenement E63/2042, had been granted.

On 30 August 2021, the Company announced that it had purchased the Snake Hill tenement, P25/2634, which is located within the Company’s Berehaven Nickel project, approximately 20 kilometres east of Kalgoorlie. The tenement was purchase for a sum of 200,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company at a deemed issue price of 22.5c per share. The tenement is prospective for nickel and gold, with recent alluvial gold discovered by prospectors at Snake Hill.

On 10 September 2021, the Company went into a trading halt following the discovery of Massive Nickel Sulphides at its Berehaven project. Further results are to be announced.

The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing, and it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date. The situation is continuously developing and is dependent on measured imposed by the Australian Government and other countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions, border closures and any economic stimulus measures that may be provided.

Aside from the matters noted above, there have been no matters or circumstances that have arisen since the end of the financial year that have significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the Company, the results of these operations, or the state of affairs of the Company in future financial years.

7.6 CONTINGENCIES

Tasex Contingency
