Mindax Limited (‘Mindax’ or ‘the Company’) is a Perth-based mineral exploration company. The Company maintained its consolidated tenement holding for the Mt Forest Iron Project during the halfyear ended 31 December 2019, together with the Meekatharra Gold Project. The Company continues to consider all funding opportunities in order to explore and progress both Projects.
Mt Forest Iron Project
The Company’s main undertaking is the Mt Forrest Iron Project (Project) and it continues to review development options for the Project. Tenure for this project is current and secure.
During the half-year the Company continued reviewing the establishment of a study joint venture to assess the technical and economic viability of a joint infrastructure project to exploit the iron ore deposits in the mid-west region of Western Australia.
The Company’s negotiation with respect to a heads of agreement and terms of reference with a prospective infrastructure joint venture partner has been suspended pending progress of negotiations with a potential investor from China. The investor’s senior executives have visited the Mt Forrest site and are currently completing their due diligence of the Mt Forrest Resource.
Associated with this site visit, during February 2020 the Company has extracted samples for testing by the prospective investor as part of their due diligence enquiries. Approximately 100 kg’s of magnetite ore samples were shipped to Xiamen on 9 March 2020 for testing and analysis by the potential investor.
Meekatharra Gold Project
Tenure for this project is current and secure. No geological or other activity has been undertaken on the Meekatharra Gold Project tenement during the reporting period.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This consolidated interim financial report for the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2019 has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001 .
This consolidated interim financial report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report and therefore cannot be expected to provide a full understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the Group as full financial statements. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2019 and any public announcements made by Mindax Limited during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period unless otherwise stated.
These half-year financial statements were authorised for issue by a resolution of directors on 12 March 2020.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
There have been no significant changes to the critical accounting estimates or judgements since the last annual reporting date.
New and amended standards adopted by the Group
In the half-year ended 31 December 2019, the Group has adopted all the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for an accounting period that begins on or after 1 January 2019.
New and revised Standards and amendments thereof and Interpretations effective for the current year that are relevant to the Group include:
-
AASB 16 Leases ; and
-
Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments
AASB 16 Leases
The Group has adopted AASB 16 Leases from 1 July 2019 which has resulted in changes in the classification, measurement and recognition of leases. The new standard requires recognition of a right-of-use asset (the leased item) and a financial liability (lease payments) and removes the former distinction between ‘operating’ and ‘finance’ leases. The exceptions are short-term leases and leases of low value assets.
In applying AASB 16 for the first time, as permitted by the standard, the Group has elected not to reassess whether a contract is, or contains, a lease at the date of initial application. Instead, for contracts entered before the transition date the Group relied on its assessment made applying AASB 117 Leases and Interpretation 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease .
There was no material impact on adoption of the standard and no adjustment made to current or prior period amounts. The Group is not currently a party to any lease contracts.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
NOTE 1: BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Impact of standards issued but not yet applied by the Group
The Group has also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the half-year ended 31 December 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.
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.
During the reporting period the Group incurred a net loss of $295,810 (31 December 2018: $398,505) and incurred net cash outflows from operating activities of $200,643 (31 December 2018: $281,752). The Group had a net working capital deficiency of $1,170,879 at reporting date (30 June 2019: $927,265) and trade and other payables of $1,212,059 (30 June 2019: $1,061,754) at reporting date. At the date of this report the majority of the current liabilities are overdue.
Of the $1,212,059 in trade and other payables outstanding at reporting date, $1,138,888, are owed to related parties and internal creditors and $73,171 are owed to external creditors.
The related parties have indicated they will continue to support the Group and defer repayment terms and entitlements until such time that the Group has the financial capacity to compensate them. The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is therefore dependent on the ability to raise additional funding through debt and/or equity, receipt of the outstanding balance from the underwriter, sale or farm out of currently 100% owned tenements, and the continued support of its related parties until such time as the Group can repay them.
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:
-
Discussions with the underwriter to the rights issue completed in June 2019 to place the balance of the shortfall are ongoing with the current outstanding balance being $757,568. The Company will continue to engage with the underwriter to draw on these funds, with the Company currently anticipating the receipt of approximately $250,000 in April 2020;
-
Continued support from related parties and creditors;
-
The Group retains the option to seek to sell or farmout its currently 100% owned tenements; and
-
The ability to raise additional funding through debt and/or equity.
Should the Group 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 may 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 Group not continue as a going concern.

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.
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 impaired in the financial period the decision is made.

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of the Group is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
(i) Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2019 and of its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
(ii) Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001.
Emphasis of matter – Material uncertainty relating to going concern
We draw attention to Note 1 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 conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Directors’ responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of the Group, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.
