PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
During the year, the Group’s principal activity was mineral exploration.
There was no significant change in the nature of the Group’s activities during the year.
DIVIDENDS
No dividends were paid or declared during the financial year. No recommendation for payment of dividends has been made.
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Activities during the year were focussed on assessing the Company’s existing projects, reviewing new opportunities and securing additional funding.
The Company retained its iron project, consisting of a parcel of seven mining tenements for 54 km[2] at Mt Forrest, located in Western Australia, and its exploration licence (Exploration Licence 51/1705) in the Meekatharra region of Western Australia during the year.
The Company continued to review the development options for the Mt Forrest Iron Project and the elevated economic outlook for iron ore has materially re-activated interest in the Mt Forrest Project. Discussions with infrastructure groups are ongoing with the aim of establishing a framework for a joint approach to infrastructure development in the Midwest region of Western Australia. The current regional infrastructure concept includes collaborating with other companies in the area surrounding the Mt Forrest Project to create ‘critical mass’ which would support the resources required to fully evaluate the economics of a large-scale infrastructure solution.
The Company is encouraged by the early stage discussions regarding the Mt Forrest Project development concept and will continue to engage in order to determine if involvement may result in a commercial benefit for the shareholders of the Company.
During the year the Company funded its operations by raising additional capital from related and unrelated parties.

Risk Management
The board is responsible for ensuring that risks, and opportunities, are identified on a timely basis and that activities are aligned with the risks and opportunities identified by the board.
The Company believes that it is crucial for all board members to be a part of this process, and as such the board has not established a separate risk management committee.
The board has a number of mechanisms in place to ensure that management's objectives and activities are aligned with the risks identified by the board. These include the following:
-
Board approval of a strategic plan, which encompasses strategy statements designed to meet stakeholders needs and manage business risk.
-
Implementation of board approved operating plans and budgets and board monitoring of progress against these budgets.

No other matters or circumstances have arisen since 30 June 2019, which has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the operations of the Group, the result of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in subsequent financial years.
LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS
The Group expects to maintain the present status and level of operations and hence there are no likely developments in the entity's operations.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION AND PERFORMANCE
The Group is subject to significant environmental regulation in respect to its exploration activities.
The Group aims to ensure the appropriate standard of environmental care is achieved, and in doing so, that it is aware of and is in compliance with all environmental legislation. The directors of the Group are not aware of any breach of environmental legislation for the year under review.
The directors have considered the recently enacted National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 (the NGER Act) which introduces a single national reporting framework for the reporting and dissemination of information about greenhouse gas emissions, greenhouse gas projects, and energy use and production of corporations. At the current stage of development, the directors have determined that the NGER Act will have no effect on the Group for the current, nor subsequent, financial year. The directors will reassess this position as and when the need arises.

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)
The information provided in this audited remuneration report has been audited as required by section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001 .
The key management personnel covered in this report are:
Benjamin Chow Executive Chairman Kgai Mun Loh Non-Executive Director Yonggang Li Non-Executive Director Qinglong Zeng Non-Executive Director, appointed 19 June 2019 Andrew Tsang Non-Executive Director, resigned 12 June 2019
Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
Remuneration Policy
The Remuneration Committee is comprised of the executive chairman and two non-executive directors. The remuneration policy of Mindax Limited has been designed to align director and executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering specific long-term incentives based on key performance areas affecting the Group’s financial results. All short-term incentives are decided at board level. The Board of Mindax Limited believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best executives and directors to run and manage the Group.
The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for board members and senior executives of the Group is as follows:
The Board may exercise discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options. The policy is designed to attract and retain the highest calibre of executives and reward them for performance that results in long-term growth in shareholder wealth. Executives are also entitled to participate in the employee share and option arrangements.
The executive directors and executives who receive a salary from the Company also receive a superannuation guarantee contribution as required by the government, which was 9.5% for the 2019 financial year, and do not receive any other retirement benefits. Some individuals, however, may choose to sacrifice part of their salary to increase payments towards superannuation.
All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at the cost to the Group and expensed. Options are valued using either the Black-Scholes or Binomial methodologies.
The Board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. 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. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting (currently $400,000 approved at the 2010 AGM). Fees for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the Group. However, to align directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company and can participate in the employee option plan. Effective from 1 January 2016 all non-executive director fees were reduced by 50%.
Directors are also entitled to Committee Fees, payable to members of the Audit and Remuneration Committees. The Board has agreed to fees of $5,000 per annum for each member of a committee, and $10,000 per annum for the Chairman of each committee. These fees were reduced effective from 1 January 2016 to $2,500 per annum for each member of a committee, and $5,000 per annum for the Chairman of each committee.
Performance based remuneration
At this stage, the Group’s remuneration of key management personnel (excluding directors) does not include any performance conditions. The Board believes that at this stage of the Group's development, linking remuneration to financial performance indicators such as share price, revenue or profit for these personnel is inappropriate. This may change once the Group commences production.
In relation to non-executive directors, the Board believes that a portion of the remuneration package for the non-executive directors should be linked to some form of financial performance indicator, such as share price, from time to time, as determined by the Board. In this regard, options over unissued shares provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for non-executive directors to motivate and reward their performance. No options were granted during the 2019 or 2018 financial years.
Company performance, shareholder wealth and directors’ and executives’ remuneration
The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase goal congruence between shareholders, directors and executives, including the occasional issue of options to directors and executives which is to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests. The Company believes this policy will be effective in increasing shareholder wealth.
The table below shows the gross revenue, losses and earnings per share for the last five years for the listed entity.
| 2019 | 2018 | 2017 | 2017 | 2016 | 2015 | |

(1) At year end there are no nominally held shares.
(2) 10,000,000 ordinary shares were issued to Mr Chow in satisfaction of $50,000 of director fees following shareholder approval. Based on the grant date fair value of the shares issued, this has resulted in a loss on settlement of the liability of $30,000 for the year.
(3) Balance held at the respective date of appointment or resignation.
Loans from key management personnel
The Company had secured short-term funding by way of unsecured non-recourse loans from Mr Andrew Tsang, Non-Executive Director during the term of the loans. The loans were unsecured, interest free and repaid in full during the 2019 financial year by conversion into 20,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.005 following shareholder approval obtained at the General Meetings held on 17 July 2018 to convert $50,000 and on 20 May 2019 to convert $50,000. Based on the grant date fair value of the shares issued, this has resulted in a loss on settlement of the liabilities of $30,000 for the year. At 30 June 2018, the balance outstanding was $100,000.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
30 JUNE 2019
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for the consolidated entity consisting of Mindax Limited and its subsidiaries. The financial statements are presented in the Australian currency. Mindax Limited is a company limited by shares, domiciled and incorporated in Australia. The financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 26 September 2019. The directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements.
(a) Basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001 . Mindax Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.
(i) Compliance with IFRS
The consolidated financial statements of the Mindax Limited Group also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
(ii) New and amended standards adopted by the Group
The Group has adopted all the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual reporting period.
New and revised Standards and amendments thereof and Interpretations effective for the current year that are relevant to the Group include:
-
AASB 9 Financial Instruments and related amending Standards;
-
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and related amending Standards; and
-
AASB 2016-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions.
AASB 9 Financial Instruments and related amending Standards
In the current year, the Group has applied AASB 9 Financial Instruments (as amended) and the related consequential amendments to other Accounting Standards that are effective for an annual period that begins on or after 1 January 2018. The transition provisions of AASB 9 allow an entity not to restate comparatives however there was no material impact on adoption of the standard to current or prior period amounts.
Additionally, the Group adopted consequential amendments to AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures.
In summary, AASB 9 introduced new requirements for:
-
The classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities;
-
Impairment of financial assets; and
-
General hedge accounting.
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and related amending Standards
In the current year, the Group has applied AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (as amended) which is effective for an annual period that begins on or after 1 January 2018. AASB 15 introduced a 5-step approach to revenue recognition. Far more prescriptive guidance has been added in AASB 15 to deal with specific scenarios.
There was no material impact on adoption of the standard and no adjustment made to current or prior period amounts.
(iii) Early adoption of standards
The Group has also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the year ended 30 June 2019. As a result of this review the Directors have determined that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change necessary to Group accounting policies.
(iv) Historical cost convention
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified, where required, by the measurement at fair value of selected financial assets and financial liabilities.
(v) Going concern
The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
From the $1,061,754 in trade and other payables outstanding at reporting date, $1,045,354, are owed to related parties and internal creditors and $16,400 are owed to external creditors.

Mindax Limited
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued
30 JUNE 2019
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd)
During the year the Group incurred a net loss of $755,191 (2018: $596,167) and incurred net cash outflows from operating activities of $537,756 (2018: $315,334). The Group had a net working capital deficiency of $1,034,144 (2018: $821,722), trade and other payables of $1,061,754 (2018: $952,179) and borrowings of nil (2018: $100,000) at reporting date. At the date of this report the majority of the current liabilities are overdue.
From the $1,061,754 in trade and other payables outstanding at reporting date, $1,045,354, are owed to related parties and internal creditors and $16,400 are owed to external creditors.
These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast a significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
Management believe that as at the date of this report there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Group will continue as a going concern for the following reasons:
-
Subsequent to year end, the Group raised $50,000 (before costs), through the issue of 10,000,000 ordinary shares at $0.005 per share (refer to note 20);
-
The ability to raise additional funding through debt and/or equity; and
-
The continued support from the Group’s related parties.
Should the entity not be able to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the financial statements. The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or liabilities that might be necessary should the entity not continue as a going concern.
(b) Principles of consolidation
(i) 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 de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group.
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 transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of financial position respectively.
(ii) Changes in ownership interests
The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the Group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognised in a separate reserve within equity attributable to owners of Mindax Limited.
When the Group ceases to have control, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, jointly controlled entity or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.
If the ownership interest in a jointly controlled entity or associate is reduced but joint control or significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate.
(c) Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the full Board of Directors.
(d) Interest revenue
Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method, which, for floating rate financial assets, is the rate inherent in the instrument.
(e) Income tax
The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.
18
Mindax Limited
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued
30 JUNE 2019
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd)
The current income tax charge is calculated based on the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the Company’s subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised, or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
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.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
(f) Impairment of assets
Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The 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 which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.
(g) Cash and cash equivalents
For statement of cash flows presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.
(h) Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any allowance for expected credit losses.
The Group assesses at each balance date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. For trade and other receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB 9 to determine any allowances for expected credit losses, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. The expected credit losses on these financial assets are estimated using a provision matrix based on the Group’s historical credit loss experience. The amounts held in trade and other receivables do not contain impaired assets and are not past due. Based on the credit history of these trade and other receivables, it is expected that the amounts will be received when due.
(i) Financial instruments
(i) Classification
From 1 July 2018 the Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
-
Those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through OCI or through profit or loss); and
-
Those to be measured at amortised cost.
The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.
For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or OCI. For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the Company has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).

Mindax Limited
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued
30 JUNE 2019
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd)
(ii) Recognition and derecognition
Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date, the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
(iii) Measurement
At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in profit or loss.
Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.
Debt instruments
Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Company’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Company classifies its debt instruments:
-
Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in profit or loss and presented in other income or expenses. Impairment losses are presented as a separate line item in the statement of profit or loss.
-
FVOCI: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognised in profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognised in other income or expenses. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in other income or expenses and impairment losses are presented as a separate line item in the statement of profit or loss.
-
FVPL: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at FVPL. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at FVPL is recognised in profit or loss and presented net within other income or expenses in the period in which it arises.
Equity instruments
The Company subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Company’s management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognised in profit or loss as other income when the Company’s right to receive payment is established.
Changes in the fair value of financial assets at FVPL are recognised in other income or expenses in the statement of profit or loss as applicable. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVOCI are not reported separately from other changes in fair value.
(iv) Impairment
From 1 July 2018 the Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortised cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.
(j) Exploration and evaluation costs
Exploration and evaluation expenditures are accumulated in respect of each separate area of interest.
Exploration and evaluation costs are carried forward where right of tenure of the area of interest is current and they are expected to be recouped through sale or successful development and exploitation of the area of interest, or, where exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves. Development costs related to an area of interest are carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped either through sale or successful exploitation of the area of interest.
When an area of interest is abandoned or the directors decide that it is not commercial, any accumulated expenditures in respect of that area are written off in the financial period the decision is made. The carrying value of the Group’s projects are reviewed at least annually for appropriateness and to determine if there are any impairment indicators.
(k) Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. They are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost. The amounts are unsecured and are paid on normal commercial terms.
20
Mindax Limited
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued
30 JUNE 2019
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd)
(l) Borrowings
The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments. The fair value of current borrowings approximates the carrying amount as the impact of discounting is not significant. Borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
(m) Employee benefits
Wages and salaries and annual leave
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, and annual leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
(n) Contributed equity
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.
(o) Earnings per share
(i) Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to owners of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.
(ii) Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income 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.
(p) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the respective taxation authorities, are presented as operating cash flows.
(q) New accounting standards and interpretations not yet adopted
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the 30 June 2019 reporting period and have not been early adopted by the Group. The Group’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below. New standards and interpretations not mentioned are considered unlikely to impact on the financial reporting of the Group.
AASB 16 Leases (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2019).
AASB 16 was issued in February 2016. It will result in almost all leases being recognised on the statement of financial position, as the distinction between operating and finance leases is removed. Under the new standard, an asset (the right to use the leased item) and a financial liability to pay rentals are recognised. The only exceptions are short-term and low-value leases.
The accounting for lessors will not significantly change.
The Group plans to adopt the new standard on the required effective date. The Group continues to assess the potential impact of AASB 16 on its consolidated financial statements.
None of the other amendments or Interpretations are expected to affect the accounting policies of the Group.
(r) Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are:

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd)
Exploration expenditure
The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent on a number of factors, including whether the Group decides to exploit the related lease itself or, if not, whether it successfully recovers the related exploration and evaluation asset through sale.
Factors that could impact the future recoverability include the level of reserves and resources, future technological changes, costs of drilling and production, production rates, future legal changes (including changes to environmental restoration obligations) and changes to commodity prices.
Environmental Issues
Balances disclosed in the financial statements and notes thereto are not adjusted for any pending or enacted environmental legislation, and the directors understanding thereof. At the current stage of the Group’s development and its current environmental impact the directors believe such treatment is reasonable and appropriate.
Taxation
Balances disclosed in the financial statements and the notes thereto related to taxation are based on the best estimates of the directors. These estimates consider both the financial performance and position of the Group as they pertain to current income taxation legislation, and the directors understanding thereof. No adjustment has been made for pending or future taxation legislation. The current income tax position represents that directors’ best estimate, pending an assessment by the Australian Taxation Office.
2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group.
Risk management is carried out by the full Board of Directors as the Group believes that it is crucial for all board members to be involved in this process. The executive chairman, with the assistance of advisors as required, has responsibility for identifying, assessing, treating and monitoring risks and reporting to the Board on risk management.
(a) Market risk
(i) Foreign exchange risk
As all operations are currently within Australia, the Company is not exposed to any material foreign exchange risk.
(ii) Commodity price risk
Given the current level of operations the Company is not exposed to commodity price risk.
(iii) Interest rate risk
The Group is exposed to movements in market interest rates on cash and cash equivalents. The Group policy is to monitor the interest rate yield curve out to 120 days to ensure a balance is maintained between the liquidity of cash assets and the interest rate return.
The risk is not material and sensitivity analysis does not result in a material effect on Group results or financial position.
(b) Credit risk
The maximum exposure to credit risk at reporting date is the carrying amount (net of provision for impairment) of those assets as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements. The only significant concentration of credit risk for the Group is the cash and cash equivalents held with financial institutions. All material deposits are held with the major Australian banks for which the Board evaluate credit risk to be minimal (credit rating –AA).
As the Group does not presently have any significant trade receivables, lending, significant stock levels or any other credit risk, a formal credit risk management policy is not maintained.
(c) Liquidity risk
The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and ensuring sufficient cash is available to meet the current and future commitments of the Group. Due to the nature of the Group’s activities, being mineral exploration, the Group does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. The Board of Directors constantly monitor the state of equity markets in conjunction with the Group’s current and future funding requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required.

2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (cont’d)
The financial liabilities of the Group are confined to trade and other payables as disclosed in the statement of financial position, and borrowings for which further details are contained in note 12. All trade and other payables and borrowings are non-interest bearing and due within 12 months of the reporting date.
The table below reflects an undiscounted contractual maturity analysis for financial liabilities. The timing of cash flows presented in the table to settle financial liabilities reflects the earliest contractual settlement dates and does not reflect management's expectations that borrowing facilities may be rolled forward.

(d) Fair value estimation
There were no financial assets or liabilities at 30 June 2019 requiring fair value estimation and disclosure as they are either not carried at fair value or, in the case of short-term financial assets and financial liabilities, their carrying values approximate fair value.
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes.
The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are as follows:
| 2019 2018 $ $ |
|
|---|---|
| Financial Assets Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Total Financial Assets Financial Liabilities Trade and other payables Non-recourse loans Total Financial Liabilities |
7,497 214,057 14,967 12,669 |
| 22,464 226,726 |
|
| 1,061,754 952,179 - 100,000 |
|
| 1,061,754 1,052,179 |
The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments are outlined below:
Cash
The carrying amount is fair value due to the liquid nature of these assets.
Receivables/Payables
Due to the short term nature of these financial rights and obligations, their carrying amounts are estimated to represent their fair values.
Fair value measurements of financial assets
The carrying values of financial assets and liabilities of the Group approximate their fair values. Fair values of financial assets and liabilities have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes.
Fair value hierarchy
The Group classifies assets and liabilities carried at fair value using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in determining that value. The following table analyses financial instruments carried at fair value by the valuation method. The different levels in the hierarchy have been defined 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).

Net deferred tax assets have not been brought to account as it is not probable within the immediate future that tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilised. The recoupment of available tax losses as at 30 June 2019 is contingent upon the following:
(i) The Group deriving future assessable income of a nature and an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions for the losses to be realised;
(ii) The Group continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by tax legislation in Australia; and
(iii) There being no changes in tax legislation which adversely affect the Group from realising the benefit.

(3) The Company had secured short-term funding by way of unsecured non-recourse loans from Mr Andrew Tsang, Non-Executive Director during the term of the loans. Following shareholder approval obtained at the General Meeting held on 17 July 2018, $50,000 of the loan was converted into 10,000,000 ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.005 per share. The fair value of the shares issued by the Company is based on the grant date fair value, being $0.008. Additionally, following shareholder approval obtained at the General Meeting held on 20 May 2019, $50,000 of the loan was converted into 10,000,000 ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.005 per share. The fair value of the shares issued by the Company is based on the grant date fair value, being $0.005. This has resulted in a net loss on settlement of the liabilities of $30,000 for the year.

(4) A resolution was approved by shareholders at the General Meeting of the Company held on 17 July 2018 to issue shares to Mr Benjamin Chow, Executive Chairman, in lieu of director fees accrued for the period 1 April 2015 to 30 June 2018. Fees totalling $50,000 were satisfied by the issue of 10,000,000 ordinary shares on 7 August 2018 utilising these approvals. The total expense to be recognised by the Company is based on the grant date fair value of the shares issued, being $0.008. This has resulted in a loss on settlement of the liability of $30,000 for the year.
(c) Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company in proportion to the number of and amounts paid on the shares held.
On a show of hands every holder of ordinary shares present at a meeting in person or by proxy, is entitled to one vote, and upon a poll each share is entitled to one vote.
Ordinary shares have no par value and the Company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital.
(d) Capital risk management
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they may continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.
Due to the nature of the Group’s activities, being mineral exploration, the Group does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. Therefore, the focus of the Group’s capital risk management is the current working capital position against the requirements of the Group to meet exploration programmes and corporate overheads. The Group’s strategy is to ensure appropriate liquidity is maintained to meet anticipated operating requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required. The working capital position of the Group at 30 June 2019 and 30 June 2018 are as follows:

-
(ii) Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
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 Group in accordance with 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 confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to Note 1(a)(v) in the financial report which describes the events and/or conditions which give rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
