Mt Monger Resources ("Mt Monger" or the "Company") is actively exploring for minerals in two project areas located in Eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia. The Company has no reported mineral resources or reserves.

Figure 1: Location of the Mt Monger Resources Ltd exploration projects in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia.

The Mt Monger Gold Project is centred approximately 45km east-northeast of Kambalda and 70km to the southeast of Kalgoorlie-Boulder. The project comprises six granted Exploration Licences, two pending Exploration License applications and three granted Prospecting Licences, covering an area of approximately 100km2 .

The Mt Monger Gold Project is positioned in a prospective location in terms of regional geological and mineralisation setting, located within the southern part of the Kurnalpi Terrane, in the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane; straddling the boundary between the Bulong Anticline and the Mount Belches Formation.

The Mt Monger region has proven potential for hosting gold, with gold mining commencing in the area during the late 1890s and continuing to the present day. The Mt Monger Gold Project is within close proximity to Gold Fields Limited's (JSE: GFI) St Ives gold camp which contains the Invincible Gold Mine located in Lake Lefroy and immediately south of Silver Lake Resources Ltd's (ASX: SLR) Daisy Milano gold operation and their currently operating 1.2Mtpa Randalls gold processing facility. Lefroy Exploration Limited (ASX: LEX, Lefroy) has experienced recent success at their Burns Prospect, located a few kilometres to the southwest of the Mt Monger Gold Project.

Early exploration within the project area focused on nickel sulphide mineralisation with the focus shifting to gold exploration during the 1980s. Exploration to date has outlined a number of advanced gold prospects; including the Duchess of York, Hickman's Find and Kiaki Soaks prospects. Drilling outside the more advanced prospect areas has been mainly limited to shallow Rotary Air Blast (RAB) and aircore drilling (<60m depth) in the immediate vicinity of and along strike from known mineralised structures, with only intermittent relatively deep Reverse Circulation (RC) percussion drilling completed to assess the depth potential to the shallow supergene gold mineralisation.

Figure 2: Tenement status map of the Mt Monger Gold Project showing historical prospect areas and nearby gold mining operations and processing plant.

Exploration within the Mt Monger Gold Project is focused on targeting extensions to existing well-defined mineralised structures and applying the understanding from known structures to regional targets.

Subsequent to the reporting period a program of RC percussion drilling was completed at the Duchess of York Prospect to evaluate the economic potential of the prospect and to test targets along strike of the mineralised structure (refer to the Company's ASX announcements dated 22 July, 25 August 2021 and 28 September 2021).

The East Laverton Gold Project is centred 70km south-east of the town of Laverton and is comprised of a four granted Exploration Licences and eight pending Exploration Licence applications. The project licences cover an area of 2,792km2 and are considered prospective for gold, rare earth elements (REE), nickel, base metals and lithium.

Figure 3: Tenement status map of the East Laverton Gold Project showing nearby mining operations.

The East Laverton Gold Project is located within the poorly understood Burtville Terrane on the eastern edge of the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane. The project area contains limited outcrop, with the bedrock geology predominantly concealed by transported cover. Due to the area's extensive sedimentary cover, there has been little geological work in the area either by exploration companies or government geological surveys, hampering the geological understanding of the area.

Earliest exploration within the region focused on the presence of kimberlite and uranium mineralisation within paleochannels, with only a limited number of drillholes targeting the underlying greenstone terrain for gold mineralisation. Subsequent exploration at the Seahorse Prospect encountered gneissic rocks similar to those from the Tropicana Gold Mine (AngloGold Ashanti Ltd and Regis Resources Ltd Joint Venture). The most popular model for Tropicana is that of reworked Archean gold, reported to be hosted by Archaean garnetiferous gneiss and quartzofeldpathic gneiss. The presence of the favourable gneissic rocks at the Seahorse Prospect was recognised at a later date and gold and pathfinder element analysis were completed, with encouraging gold and base metal results returned.

The eastern portion of the project is enhanced by a favourable structural setting, the presence of known anomalous soils and a proximity to known mineralisation. The Dexter Shear trends through the area; soil geochemistry will be evaluated, lines of aircore will be completed across anomalous zones, followed by RC drilling if encouragement is found to define gold mineralisation. Previous work has outlined the Sandshoes and Dexter West Prospects within this area which require further evaluation and exploration.

At the date of this report the Company has commenced evaluation of the potential for REE in the granted northern tenement areas, focusing on an area where anomalous REE have been recognised in historical drilling (refer to the Company's ASX announcement dated 20 August 2021) and surface geochemical sampling. No fieldwork has been completed at the date of this report.

Principal Activities

The Company was established in November 2020 and the principal activities of the group during the financial year were the exploration of mineral tenements in Western Australia ("WA").

Dividends

No dividends have been declared, provided for or paid in respect of the period ended 30 June 2021.

Corporate and Financial Position

The Group's net loss from operations for the period was \$881,619.

At 30 June 2021, the Group had net current liabilities of \$628,733. Subsequent to period end, the Company completed a \$5.0 million capital raising (before costs) by the issue of 25 million shares at 20 cents per share. The Directors believe there are sufficient funds to meet the Group's working capital requirements and as at the date of this report the Group believes it can meet all liabilities as and when they fall due.

This report is prepared on the going concern basis which assumes the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business (refer Note 1.6).

The Directors have reviewed the business outlook and the assets and liabilities of the Group and are of the opinion that the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate as they believe the Group will continue to be successful in securing additional funds through equity issues as and when the need to raise funds arises.

Business Strategies and Prospects

The group currently has the following business strategies and prospects over the medium to long term:

  • (i) Seek to maximise the value of the group through successful exploration activities;
  • (ii) Selectively expand the Group's portfolio of exploration assets; and
  • (iii) Examine other new business development opportunities in the mining and resources sector.

Significant Changes in the State of Affairs

Nil

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year

The Company completed a \$5 million capital raising (before costs) by the issue of 25 million shares at 20 cents per share and commenced trading on the ASX on the 15th of July 2021.

The Company exercised all Option agreements with independent vendor parties to acquire various tenements and completed the agreements with the issue of 1,250,000 fully paid ordinary shares together with cash payments of \$415,000.

The Company repaid related party loans to a total of \$373,870.

The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and while it has not significantly impacted the entity up to 30 June 2021, it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date. The situation is rapidly developing and is dependent on measures imposed by the Australian Government and other countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided.

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2021 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the entity's operations, the results of those operations, or the entity's state of affairs in future financial years.

Environmental and Social Regulation and Performance

The Group's operations are subject to various environmental laws and regulations under the relevant government's legislation. Full compliance with these laws and regulations is regarded as a minimum standard for all operations to achieve.

Instances of environmental non-compliance by an operation are identified either by external compliance audits or inspections by relevant government authorities. There have been no significant known breaches by the group during the financial period.

The Company is developing a framework of stewardship of our environment and are focussed on providing social benefits and mutually rewarding outcomes for the communities in which it operates.

Likely Developments and Expected Results

It is the Board's current intention that the Group will seek to progress exploration on existing projects. The Group will also continue to examine new opportunities in the mineral exploration and resources sector where appropriate.

These activities are inherently risky and there can be no certainty that the Group will be able to successfully achieve the objectives.

Greenhouse Gas and Energy Data Reporting Requirements

The Directors have considered compliance with the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 which requires entities to report annual greenhouse gas emissions and energy use. The Directors have assessed that there are no current reporting requirements, but may be required to do so in the future.

Meetings of Directors

The following table sets out the number of meetings of the Company's directors held during the period ended 30 June 2021, and the number of meetings attended by each director.

Board Meetings
Number Eligible
to attend
Board Meetings
Number

David Izzard 5 5

No Audit and Risk Committee meetings were convened during the period, however the Board underwent a comprehensive risk review process during the Prospectus due diligence review period.

Insurance of Officers and Auditors

During or since the end of the financial year the Company has given an indemnity or entered into an agreement to indemnify, or paid or agreed to pay insurance premiums as follows:

The Company has paid premiums to insure each of the Directors against liabilities for costs and expenses incurred by them in defending any legal proceedings arising out of their conduct while acting in the capacity of Director of the Company, other than conduct involving a wilful breach of duty in relation to the Company. The amount of the premium is \$17,836 exclusive of GST.

Remuneration Report

(Audited)

This Remuneration Report outlines the director and executive remuneration arrangements of the Company in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations. For the purposes of this report Key Management Personnel (KMP) of the Group are defined as those persons having the authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Group, directly or indirectly, including any Director (whether executive or otherwise) of the Group. Based on this definition the KMP of Mt Monger Resources Limited are the directors of the Company. No performance reviews of Directors or executives remuneration were undertaken in the period.

There were no changes in KMP after the reporting date and before the date the annual financial report was authorised for issue.

Remuneration Philosophy

The performance of the Company depends upon the quality of its Directors and Executives. To prosper, the Company must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled Directors and Executives.

To this end, the Company embodies the following principles in its remuneration framework:

  • Provide competitive rewards to attract high calibre executives; and
  • Link executive rewards to shareholder value.

Due to the early stage of development which the Company is in, shareholder wealth is directly affected by the Company share price, as the Company is not in a position to pay dividends. By remunerating Directors and Executives in part by share based payments, the Company aims to align the interests of Directors and Executives with Shareholder wealth, thus providing individual incentive to perform and thereby improving overall Company performance and associated value.

As the Company has been incorporated since 13 November 2020 and remains in the development stage of an inherently risky industry, the remuneration policy does not currently take into account current or prior year earnings. Other than share based payments made to the directors from time to time, there is no specific link to the Company's performance and directors' remuneration.

Remuneration structure

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive director and executive remuneration is separate and distinct.

Non-executive director remuneration

Objective

The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level which provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain directors to the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders.

Structure

The Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate directors' fees payable to non-executive directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. An amount not exceeding the amount determined is then divided between the directors as agreed. Aggregate maximum directors' fees payable of \$300,000 per year has been set by the Board and will be ratified by shareholders at the first AGM.

The Board determines payments to the non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. Cash fees for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the Company or shareholder wealth.

All remuneration paid to Non-Executive Directors is valued at cost to the Company and expensed.

The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors for the years ended 30 June 2021 is detailed below, within this section.

Executive remuneration

Objective

The Company aims to reward executives (both directors and company executives) with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Company and so as to:

  • Reward executives for Company performance;
  • Align the interest of executives with those of shareholders; and
  • Ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards.

Structure

The remuneration policy for executives is to provide a fixed remuneration component and a specific equity related component. The board believes that this remuneration policy is appropriate given the stage of development of the Company and the activities which it undertakes and is appropriate in aligning director objectives with shareholder and business objectives.

The remuneration policy going forward in regard to setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors has been developed by the board taking into account market conditions and comparable salary levels for companies of a similar size and operating in similar sectors.

Fixed Remuneration

Objective

The level of fixed remuneration is set so as to provide a base level of remuneration.

Fixed remuneration is to be reviewed annually and the process consists of a review of company and individual performance, relevant comparative remuneration in the market and internal policies and practices.

Structure

Executives are given the opportunity to receive their fixed remuneration in a variety of forms including cash and fringe benefits. It is intended that the manner of payment chosen will be optimal for the recipient without creating undue cost for the Company.

The remuneration policy going forward in regard to setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors has been developed by the board taking into account market conditions and comparable salary levels for companies of a similar size and operating in similar sectors.

The remuneration of executives for the period ended 30 June 2021 is detailed below, within this section.

Variable Remuneration

Objective

The objective of variable remuneration provided is to reward executives in a manner which aligns this element of remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth.

Structure

Variable remuneration may be delivered in the form of options, shares or cash bonus. No cash bonuses were granted or paid during the period ended 30 June 2021.

Executives receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which is currently 10% and do not receive any other retirement benefit. Some individuals, however, may choose to sacrifice part of their salary to increase payments towards superannuation.

Options Granted

All Directors were awarded options during the period. All options were granted over unissued fully paid ordinary shares in the Company. The number of options granted was determined having regard to the factors described above. Options vest based on the provision of service over the vesting period whereby the director becomes beneficially entitled to the

option on vesting date. Options are exercisable by the holder as from the vesting date. There has not been any alteration to the terms or conditions of the grant since the grant date. There are no amounts paid or payable by the recipient in relation to the granting of such options other than.

1. Basis of preparation

The annual report of Mt Monger Resources Limited for the period ended 30 June 2021 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 30 September 2021.

1.1. Statement of Compliance

These financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board.

Mt Monger Resources Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.

1.2. Basis of Measurement

The financial report has been prepared on a historical cost basis.

1.3. Functional and Presentation Currency

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars.

1.4. Compliance with IFRS

These financial statements comply with Australian Accounting Standards as issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

1.5. Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Mt Monger Resources Limited ('company' or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2021 and the results of all subsidiaries for the period then ended. Mt Monger Resources Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as the group or the consolidated entity.

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity controls an entity when the consolidated entity is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

A list of controlled entities is contained in note 6.1.1 to the financial statements.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group.

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent.

Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of changes in equity of the consolidated entity. Losses incurred by the consolidated entity are attributed to the non-controlling interest in full, even if that results in a deficit balance.

Where the consolidated entity loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non-controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The consolidated entity recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss.

1.6. Going Concern

This report is prepared on the going concern basis which assumes the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

For the year ended 30 June 2021, the Company incurred a loss from operations of \$881,619 and recorded cash outflows from operating activities of \$241,634. As at 30 June 2021, the Company had net working capital deficiency of \$628,733 with cash of \$85,684 available.

1.6. Going Concern (Cont)

As at 30 June 2021, the Company was in the process of completing an initial public offer (IPO) to raise \$5 million (before costs) through the issue of 25 million shares at 20 cents each. The IPO was closed in early July 2021 fully subscribed and the Company was successfully listed on ASX on 15 July 2021.

The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon it maintaining sufficient funds for its operations and commitments. The Board believes that it has sufficient funding in place to meet its operating objectives. The Directors consider the basis of going concern to be appropriate for the following reasons:

  • the cash balance of the Company relative to its fixed and discretionary expenditure commitments;
  • given the Company's market capitalisation and the underlying prospects for the Company to raise further funds from the capital markets; and
  • the fact that future exploration and evaluation expenditure is generally discretionary in nature (i.e. at the discretion of the Directors having regard to an assessment of the Company's eligible expenditure to date and the timing and quantum of its remaining earn-in expenditure requirements). Subject to meeting certain minimum expenditure commitments, further exploration activities may be slowed or suspended as part of the management of the Company's working capital.

The Directors are confident that the Company can continue as a going concern and as such are of the opinion that the financial report has been appropriately prepared on a going concern basis. However, should the Company be unable to raise further required financing from its major lender or other sources, there is uncertainty which may cast doubt as to whether or not the Company will be able to continue as a going concern and whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial statements.

1.7. Significant Accounting Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements and estimates on historical experience and on other various factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

Management has identified the following critical accounting policies for which significant judgements, estimates and assumptions are made. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions and may materially affect financial results or the financial position reported in future periods.

Further details of the nature of these assumptions and conditions may be found in the relevant notes to the financial statements.

Significant accounting judgements

The determination of mineral resources impacts the accounting for asset carrying values. Mt Monger Resources Limited estimates its mineral resources in accordance with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves 2012 (the 'JORC' Code). The information on mineral resources was prepared by or under the supervision of Competent Persons as defined in the JORC Code. The amounts presented are based on the mineral resources determined under the JORC Code.

There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating mineral resources, and assumptions that are valid at the time of estimation may change significantly when new information becomes available.

Significant accounting estimates and assumptions

Exploration and evaluation expenditure

Exploration and evaluation expenditure is assessed for impairment if sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability or facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

Exploration and evaluation expenditure is assessed for indicators of impairment in accordance with AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources when any of the following facts and circumstances exist:

  • The term of exploration licence in the specific area of interest has expired during the reporting period or will expire in the near future, and is not expected to be renewed;
  • Substantive expenditure on further exploration and/ or evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area are not budgeted nor planned;

1.7. Significant Accounting Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions (Cont)

Exploration and evaluation expenditure (Cont)

  • Exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area have not led to the discovery of commercially viable quantities of mineral resources and the decision was made to discontinue such activities in the specified area; or
  • Sufficient data exist to indicate that, although a development in the specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development or by sale.

Where a potential impairment is indicated, an assessment is performed for each cash generating unit that is no larger than the area of interest. The Group performs impairment testing in accordance with accounting policy note 2.3.

Judgement is applied when considering whether fact and circumstances as per above indicate that the exploration and evaluation asset should be tested for impairment and no impairment indicators were noted during the period.

Share based payments

The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees (including directors) by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.

2. Capital Expenditure

2.1. Exploration & Evaluation Expenditure

Exploration and evaluation costs are expensed as incurred as an operating cost of the Group. Costs related to the acquisition of properties that contain mineral resources are capitalised and allocated separately to specific areas of interest. These costs are capitalised until the viability of the area of interest is determined.

The recoverability of the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on the successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively the sale, of the respective areas of interest.

2021
Exploration and evaluation 1,314,474
Movement:
Expenditure incurred 236,141
Acquisition of tenements 1,045,000
Outside Equity Interest 33,333
Closing balance 1,314,474

2.2. Property Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation is calculated on either the straight-line basis or diminishing value basis over their useful lives to the Group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. The depreciation rates used are as follows:

2.2. Property Plant and equipment (Cont)

30%
25%
30%
25%
40%- 100%
2.5%

The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the Statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

2021
Computer Equipment - Cost 6,788
Accumulated depreciation (242)
Net carrying amount 6,546

2.3. Impairment of assets

Mt Monger Resources Limited conducts an annual internal review of asset values, which is used as a source of information to assess for any indicators of impairment. External factors, such as changes in expected future processes, technology and economic conditions, are also monitored to assess for indicators of impairment. If any indication of impairment exists, an estimate of the asset's recoverable amount is calculated.

An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are tested for possible reversal of the impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the impairment may have reversed.

No impairment indicators were noted for the period ended 30 June 2021.

3.2. Segment Information

Management has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the Board of Directors that are used to make strategic decisions. The Group does not have any material operating segments with discrete financial information. The Group does not have any customers and all its' assets and liabilities are primarily related to the mining industry and are located within Western Australia. The Board of Directors review internal management reports on a regular basis that is consistent with the information provided in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of cash flows. As a result, no reconciliation is required because the information as presented is what is used by the Board to make strategic decisions.

3.3. Income Tax

The income tax expense for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the national income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to unused tax losses.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively enacted for each jurisdiction. The relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences to measure the deferred tax asset or liability. An exception is made for certain temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability. No deferred tax asset or liability is recognised in relation to these temporary differences if they arose on goodwill or in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.

Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against tax liabilities and the deferred tax liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

Mt Monger Resources Limited and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities have not implemented the tax consolidation legislation as of 13 November 2020. As a consequence, these entities are taxed as separate entities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities of these entities are set off in the consolidated financial statements.

3.4. Loss Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit/loss attributable to equity holders of the Group, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the period.

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

3.4. Loss Per Share (Cont)

The following reflects the income and share data used in the calculations of basic and diluted loss per share:

2021
\$
Gain/(Loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders (881,619)
Issued number of ordinary shares at 13 November 2020 -
Effect of shares issued during the period 15,700,000

Cents
Basic loss per share (cents per share) 16.40

As at reporting date, 9,500,000 unlisted options (which represent potential ordinary shares) were not dilutive as they would decrease the loss per share.

The Company completed a \$550,000 capital raising (before costs) by the issue of 3 million shares at 1 cent per share, and 5,200,000 shares at 10 cents per share. In addition to the capital raisings, the Company issued 7,500,000 shares to acquire the subsidiaries. There have been no other conversions to, calls of, or subscriptions for ordinary shares or issues of potential ordinary shares since the reporting date and before the completion of this financial report.

4. Working Capital Management

4.1. Cash and Cash Equivalents

"Cash and cash equivalents" includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions and other 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. For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of any bank overdrafts.

4.3. Trade and Other Receivables

Trade receivables are initially recognised and carried at original invoice amount less allowance for expected credit loss. Trade receivables are due for settlement no more than 30 days from the date of recognition. A provision for impairment is made based on a forward-looking expected credit loss model in line the requirements of AASB 9. Bad debts are written off when identified.

4.4. Trade and Other Payables

Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for the goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial period that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days.

5. Funding and risk management

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

Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company in the proportion to the number and amount paid on the shares held. Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options for the acquisition of a business are not included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.

5.1. Contributed Equity

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Issued and paid up capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Company.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

The weighted average exercise price for the unlisted options that are exercisable at the end of the period is \$0.30 each.

5.4. Capital risk management

When managing capital, management's objective is to ensure the entity continues as a going concern as well as to maintain optimal returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.

Being at an exploration stage, the Company does not generate cash inflows from its operations to fund its exploration and working capital requirements, therefore, the Company may issue shares to either generate cash for operations or to acquire assets in order to maintain adequate levels of cash reserves.

During the financial period ended 30 June 2021, the Company issued 15,700,000 ordinary shares. In July 2021, the Company complete a capital raise which resulted in a further 25,000,000 ordinary shares being issued.

The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

5.5. Financial risk management

The Group's principal financial instruments comprise cash and short-term on-call deposits.

The main purpose of these financial instruments is to fund capital expenditure on the Group's operations. The Group has various other financial assets and liabilities such as trade receivables and trade payables, which arise directly from its operations. It is, and has been throughout the period under review, the Group's policy that no trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken. Being at an exploration stage, the Group has limited exposure to risks arising from its financial instruments.

Currently the Group does not have any exposure to commodity price risk or foreign currency risk. As the Group moves into development and production phases, exposure to commodity price risk, foreign currency risk and credit risk are expected to increase. The Board will set appropriate policies to manage these risks dependent on market conditions and requirements at that time.

Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, in respect of each class of financial asset and financial liability are disclosed in Note 1.

5.5.1. Credit risk

Credit risk represents the loss that would be recognised if counterparties fail to perform as contracted. The Group's maximum exposure to credit risk at reporting date in relation to each class of financial asset is the carrying amount of those assets as indicated in the statement of financial position. The majority of cash and cash equivalents is held with one Australian Bank which has an AA- long-term credit rating from Standard and Poor's.

Wherever possible, the Group trades only with recognised, credit worthy third parties. There are no significant concentrations of credit risk within the Group. Since the Group trades only with recognised third parties, there is no requirement for collateral.

5.5.2. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group does not have sufficient funds to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable. The Group currently does not have major funding in place. However, the Group continuously monitors forecast and actual cash flows and the maturity profiles of financial assets and financial liabilities to manage its liquidity risk.

The Group's objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank loans if and when required.

Cash at bank and on hand, as set out in Note 4.1, is available for use by the Group without restrictions.

Financial liabilities of the Group at 30 June 2021 are expected to be settled within 6 months of year-end.

5.5.3. Market risk

(A) Price risk

The group is not exposed to equity securities price risk. The group is not exposed to commodity price risk. The sensitivity of movements in the price has not been disclosed as it is not material to the Group.

(B) Foreign currency risk

The group do not have any foreign currency balances and therefore is not exposed to any foreign currency risk.

(C) Interest rate risk

The following tables summarise the sensitivity of the Group's financial assets and liabilities to interest rate risk. Had the relevant variables, as illustrated in the tables, moved, with all other variables held constant, post tax loss and equity would have been affected as shown. The analysis represents management's judgement of a reasonably possible movement.

6. Group Structure

6.1. Basis of consolidation

6.1.1. Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

Investments in subsidiaries are carried at their cost of acquisition in the Company's financial statements.

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of the following subsidiaries in accordance with the accounting policy described in note 1:

Name of entity Country of
incorporation

6.1.2. Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Intragroup balances, and any unrealised gains and losses or income and expenses arising from intragroup transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

6.1.3. Comparatives

The company acquired the subsidiaries on 28 February 2021, and as a result there are no comparatives.

7.4. Share Based Payments

The Group provides benefits to Directors, employees, consultants and other advisors of the Group in the form of share-based payments, whereby the Directors, employees, consultants and other advisors render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity-settled transactions).

The cost of these equity-settled transactions is measured 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 or fair value of services.

7.4. Share Based Payments (Cont)

In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the market price of the shares of the Company if applicable.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant recipient becomes fully entitled to the award (the vesting period).

The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects

  • (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired; and
  • (ii) the Company's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest.

No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. The statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period.

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is only conditional upon a market condition.

If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the recipient, as measured at the date of modification.

If an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.

The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of loss per share (see Note 3.4).

The effect of such an arrangement is equivalent to an option with a strike price per share equal to the share price on grant date.

7.5. Employee Incentive Plan

The Mt Monger Resources Limited Employee Securities Incentive Plan (Plan) was adopted by the Board on 7 December 2020.

The following table illustrates the number and weighted average exercise prices (WAEP) of, and movements in, share options granted as consideration for services provided to the Company during the period:

2021
Number
2021
WAEP
Outstanding at the beginning of the period -
Granted during the period 6,000,000
Expired or lapsed during the period -
Outstanding at the end of the period 6,000,000 \$0.31
Exercisable at the end of the period 4,500,000 \$0.30

Weighted average remaining contractual life of options at 30 June 2021: 41 months

Option pricing model:

Options granted during the period have been valued using the Black-Scholes Option Valuation model, which takes account of factors including the option exercise price, the current level and volatility of the underlying share price, the risk-free interest rate, expected dividends on the underlying share, current market price of the underlying share and the expected life of the option. See below for the assumptions used for grants made during the period ended 30 June 2021.

The dividend yield reflects the assumption that the current dividend payout will remain unchanged. The expected life of the options is based on historical data and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility is indicative of future trends, which may also not necessarily be the actual outcome.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MT MONGER RESOURCES LIMITED

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Mt Monger Resources Limited ("the Company") and its Controlled Entities ("the Consolidated Entity"), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the period then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors' declaration.

In our opinion:

  • a. the accompanying financial report of the Consolidated Entity is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
  • (i) giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity's financial position as at 30 June 2021 and of its financial performance for the period then ended; and
  • (ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
  • b. the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 1.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Consolidated Entity in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter

Capitalised Exploration and Evaluation Costs

As disclosed in note 2.1 to the financial statements, the Group has incurred significant exploration and evaluation expenditures which have been capitalised in accordance with the requirement of Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources (AASB 6). As at 30 June 2021, the Group's capitalised exploration and evaluation costs are carried at \$1,314,474.

The recognition and recoverability of the capitalised exploration and evaluation costs was considered a key audit matter due to:

  • The carrying value of capitalised exploration and evaluation costs represents a significant asset of the Group, we considered it necessary to assess whether facts and circumstances existed to suggest the carrying amount of this asset may exceed the recoverable amount; and
  • Determining whether impairment indicators exist involves significant judgement by management.

Note 2.1 to the financial statements contain the accounting policy and disclosures in relation to exploration and evaluation expenditures.

Our audit procedures included but were not limited to:

  • Assessing management's determination of its areas of interest for consistency with the definition in AASB 6 Exploration and Evaluation of Mineral Resources ("AASB 6");
  • Confirming rights to tenure for a sample of tenements held and confirming rights to tenure on tenements nearing expiry will be renewed;
  • Testing the Group's additions to capitalised exploration costs for the period by evaluating a sample of recorded expenditure for consistency to underlying records, the capitalisation requirements of the Group's accounting policy and the requirements of AASB 6;
  • By testing the status of the Group's tenure and planned future activities, reading board minutes and discussions with management we assessed each area of interest for one or more of the following circumstances that may indicate impairment of the capitalised exploration costs:
  • o The licenses for the rights to explore expiring in the near future or are not expected to be renewed;
  • o Substantive expenditure for further exploration in the area of interest is not budgeted or planned;
  • o Decision or intent by the Group to discontinue activities in the specific area of interest due to lack of commercially viable quantities of resources;
  • o Data indicating that, although a development in the specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the exploration asset is unlikely to be recorded in full from successful development or sale; and
  • Assessing the appropriateness of the related disclosures in the financial statements.

Other Information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Consolidated Entity's annual report for the period ended 30 June 2021 but does not include the financial report and our auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the 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 financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 1, the directors also state in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that the financial report complies with International Financial Reporting Standards.

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Consolidated Entity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Consolidated Entity or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Consolidated Entity's internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Consolidated Entity's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Consolidated Entity to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Consolidated Entity to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Consolidated Entity audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Report on the Remuneration Report

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors' report for the period ended 30 June 2021. The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the remuneration report in accordance with s 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the remuneration report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
