Review of operations

Safety, environment and community

The Company’s impeccable safety record continued during the 2018 year, highlighted by December 2018 being the fifteenth month in succession to see a positive decline in the twelve month Total Reportable Injury Frequency Rate (“TRIFR”). Since Tormin Mineral Sands Operations commenced in late 2013, there has been only one Lost Time Injury (LTI”) incurred in 2017, with in excess of 2.8 million man-hours worked to year end December 2018.

The Company continued its strong commitment to social and economic development in the communities in which it works. During the year the Company spent in excess of ZAR7.2 million on its Social Labour Plan (“SLP”) initiatives, including approximately ZAR5.6 million on human resources development initiatives; incorporating bursaries, scholarships, traineeships, apprenticeships and adult basic education and training (“ABET”) programs The Company continued to sponsor full-time Mathematics and English teachers at various local primary and secondary schools in Tormin’s local South African Matzikama Municipality.

In addition, Local Enterprise Development (“LED”) investment in community infrastructure exceeded ZAR1.6 million. The Company identified and has procured long lead materials for a new fit-out of the Nuwerus High School boarding house, located in the Matzikama Municipality. The Tormin Operation supported small business development and purchased an 8-tonne FAW truck and transferred ownership to a local small business operator, with the operator becoming a courier for the mine. The Company will also be supporting another local small business operator in 2019 to establish a local fisheries distribution company.

The Company’s Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment (“BBBEE”) preferential procurement with Historically Disadvantaged South African’s (“HDSA”) in 2018 was approximately ZAR398 million (2017: ZAR336 million), exceeding all targets set in this regard.

Tormin Operational Performance

The Company continued its strong operating performance during 2018. The following key production and sales metrics were achieved:

Review of operations (continued)

Tormin – Operational Performance

Run of Mine (“ROM”) production for the 2018 year of 2,650,099 tonnes (2017: 2,052,621 tonnes) was achieved, being 29% above the previous year. The increase in ore mined for the year reflects continued strong mining performance aimed at providing adequate ROM buffer stocks and ensuring sufficient feed for the improved primary beach concentrator throughput rates that was achieved in 2018.

ROM ore grading 17.35% Valuable Heavy Minerals (“VHM”) was mined for the year, consisting of a garnet grade 12.55%, ilmenite grade 3.14%, zircon grade 0.55% and rutile grade 0.38%. The VHM grade diminished from the previous year in line with expectations, and was above the Annual Tormin Mineral Resource VHM grade of 15.92% released in February 2018.

Primary Beach Concentrator (“PBC”) plant feed rates, availability and mineral recoveries for the 2018 year were a record, with PBC feed of 2,433,801 tonnes, being 26% above the previous year (2017: 1,924,795 tonnes).

The PBCs operated at an average combined 296tphr (tonnes per hour) at a 93.7% utilisation (of total time) to achieve the record annual plant feed, with the performance significantly above the prior year’s 242tphr at 90.7% utilisation. Combined with the Tailings Scavenger Plants (“TSP”), the PBCs/TSPs recoveries increased in comparison to the previous year for all valuable minerals, with zircon recoveries exceeding 93%, and recoveries of other valuable minerals exceeding 87%.

The Garnet Stripping Plant / Secondary Concentrator Plant (“GSP/SCP”) availability and mineral recoveries for the 2018 year were also a record. Total GSP feed of 858,631 tonnes (2017: 843,567 tonnes) included 151,031 tonnes of previously stockpiled garnet concentrate that was re-processed to extract excess zircon, to produce a medium grade ilmenite concentrate and to increase the garnet concentrate grade and revenues. The GSP operated at an average 105tphr at a 93.8% utilisation (of total time) to achieve the record annual plant feed, compared to the prior year’s 109tphr at 88.6% utilisation.

Zircon/rutile concentrate production for the year of 16,996 tonnes produced (2017: 22,111 tonnes) was below prior year production due to the lower mined grades, being offset in part by improved processing plant throughput, availability and recoveries. Contained zircon of 68.31% in concentrate was slightly below the prior year’s contained zircon of 70.66%, whilst contained rutile of 17.43% in concentrate was aligned to the previous year’s contained rutile of 17.70%.

Ilmenite concentrate production for the year was 108,630 tonnes (2017: 138,913 tonnes net of refeed) was also below prior year production due to the lower mined grades, partially offset by improved processing plant throughput, availability and recoveries in addition to ilmenite extracted from garnet concentrate re-feed campaigns.

Garnet concentrate production for the year of 278,205 tonnes net of refeed (2017: 211,393 tonnes net of refeed) was achieved at a significantly improved +77% grade of contained garnet in concentrate. Net production increases for the year were due to substantially higher processing plant recoveries and throughput achieved, more than offsetting lower mined grades and the impact on net garnet concentrate volumes produced as ilmenite, zircon and rutile were extracted to their payable concentrates during garnet concentrate refeed campaigns.

Tormin Costs

The following key summary of unit costs and revenue is presented below:

Summary of Unit Costs & Revenues	2018 Full Year	2017 Full Year

Directors’ report (continued)

Review of operations (continued)

Tormin – Operational Performance (continued)

Mining cash cost per tonne of ore mined for the year was $2.72/t (2017: $1.92/t), with cost increases over the prior year due to higher diesel prices and additional maintenance on an aging fleet.

Processing cash cost per tonne of ore processed for the year was $4.84/t (2017: $5.79/t), with the unit cost decrease over the prior year due to the substantially higher PBC throughput rate, partially offset by increased diesel prices impacting diesel powered generation costs.

Production cash costs per net tonne of zircon/rutile, ilmenite and garnet concentrate produced for the year was $57.68/t (2017: $50.31/t), with the cost increase over prior year due to additional mining activity, processing plant utilisation and PBC throughput required to compensate for decreasing mine grades, coupled with higher diesel prices and additional maintenance.

Cost of goods sold per tonne sold for the year was $110.08/t (2017: $77.47/t), with the increase in unit costs over prior year due to higher production cash costs and a change in the mix of products sold with a greater relative proportion of high value zircon/rutile concentrate sold in the 2018 year.

Tormin - Sales and Marketing

Sales revenue for the year was $53.5 million (2017: $60.9 million), with the decrease in revenue over prior year due to lower concentrate shipments, partially offset by higher zircon, rutile and ilmenite concentrate prices achieved.

Zircon/rutile concentrate shipments for the year was 17,968 tonnes (2017: 23,152 tonnes), with available sales volumes impacted by lower mined grades. Irrespective of the tonnes sold, revenue generated in 2018 from zircon/rutile concentrate sales was materially higher than prior year, with the Company able to achieve a year-on-year average price increase of circa 45% for its contained zircon in concentrate and circa 65% for its contained rutile in concentrate.

The Company’s zircon/rutile concentrate is the highest grade zircon concentrate being delivered into China, and the Company continues to experience strong demand and pricing support for this product. Whilst zircon and rutile prices are expected to moderate during the course of 2019 from the peaks achieved during 2018, it is currently expected that on an year-on-year basis the average price for both zircon and rutile in 2019 should be aligned with or marginally higher than that achieved in 2018.

Ilmenite concentrate shipments for the year was 106,750 tonnes (2017: 282,098 tonnes), with the lower shipments in 2018 a result of a planned 50,000 tonne shipment delayed to the first quarter of 2019 and a substantive drawdown during the course of 2017 on previously stockpiled inventories. The impact of lower ilmenite revenues arising from less shipment volumes was partially offset by the Company achieving in 2018 a year-on-year average price increase of circa 25% for its ilmenite concentrate.

The Company also continues to experience strong demand and pricing support for its ilmenite concentrate. Whilst demand and pricing of titanium feedstocks are expected to moderate over the course of 2019, the Company is currently expecting that on an year-on-year basis the average prices for the Company’s ilmenite concentrate in 2019 should be aligned with or marginally higher than that achieved in 2018.

Garnet concentrate sales for the year was 213,281 wet metric tonnes (2017: 243,962 wet metric tonnes) shipped or stockpiled under a life of mine Offtake Agreement with GMA Garnet Group (“GMA”). The GMA Offtake Agreement was amended in 2017, with the parties agreeing for GMA to take by shipment or to stockpile 240,000 dry metric tonnes for 2017, reverting back to the original 210,000 dry metric tonnes contracted for the balance of the life of mine.

Unit revenue per tonne of total zircon/rutile, ilmenite and garnet concentrates sold for the year was $156.95/t (2017 $113.33/t). The increase in the average concentrate price over the prior year was due to improved pricing for the Company’s zircon/rutile and ilmenite concentrates, and a change in the relative mix of products sold with a greater relative proportion of high value zircon/rutile concentrate sold in the 2018 year.

Review of operations (continued)

Tormin - Work-in-Progress and Final Concentrate Inventory

The Company is pleased to be able to report that inventories of work-in-progress (“WIP”) and final concentrates at 31 December 2018 remain strong and will further assist in underpinning future production performance, sales/shipments and operating cash generation.

These stock holdings are summarised as follows:

	WIP & Finished Goods at 31 Dec 2018	WIP & Finished
		Goods
		at 31 Dec 2017
Run of Mine Ore Stockpile (total tonnes - Tormin processing plant)	73,036	35,568
Heavy Mineral Concentrate Stockpile (total tonnes - Tormin processing plant)	8,297	93,421
Zircon / Rutile Concentrate Bagged (total tonnes - Tormin, Cape Town or in-transit)	1,116	1,362
Ilmenite Concentrate Stockpiles (total tonnes - Tormin, Saldanha Bay or in-transit)	82,844	26,584
Garnet Concentrate Stockpiles (total tonnes - Tormin, Saldanha Bay, in-transit or held on behalf of GMA)	705,655	684,882

Heavy mineral concentrate (‘HMC’) stockpiles were substantially lower at 31 December 2018. During the year, HMC production was supplemented by garnet concentrate re-feed campaigns. Following the completion of this garnet re-feed campaign, there will be available capacity in the GSP/SCP circuit which will need to be addressed going forward due to the reduction in PBC feed grade which is directly related to the lower ROM grades as current HMC production is not sufficient to feed the capacity of the GSP/SCP circuit.

Ilmenite concentrate finished goods increased by 31 December 2018, with a bulk ilmenite concentrate shipment planned for the last quarter of 2018 to be shipped in the first quarter of 2019.

Mineral Commodities Ltd Financial Report for the year ended 31 December 2018

Directors’ report (continued)

Review of operations (continued)

Tormin - Resource (continued)

Since commencement of operations at Tormin, the Company has mined in excess of 9.2 million tonnes. The tonnage mined is materially more than the original Indicated Resource of 2.7 million tonnes, which is supportive of the replenishing nature of the deposit where resource blocks are mined more than once per year.

The inferred resources tonnage has increased to 2.27 million tonnes. Resource replenishment is occurring but at a rate that is slower than the mining rate. The Company is unable to report a replenishment grade or quantity under the 2012 JORC code. The Company continues to conduct grade reconciliation and sample grading on a daily basis as part of the mining operation to correlate between stated resource and actual resource in terms of quantity, grade and replenishment.

The resource grade has lowered and total heavy mineral content is now 14.16% at a cut-off grade of 5% Heavy Mineral (“HM”).

A total of 2.65 million tonnes was mined during the financial year ended 31 December 2018 at a total HM grade of 17.35%, significantly exceeding the December 2017 Inferred Resource of 1.8 million tonnes at a grade of 15.92% HM. During the 2018 year the Company has effectively mined 147% of the December 2017 Inferred Resource at a 9% higher grade than that inferred, supporting the strong replenishment properties of the Tormin beach.

The nature of the resource replenishment is typical of modern day beach placer deposits found along the West Coast of South Africa and the South-Eastern Tamil Nadu coast of India.

The Company is confident that with the grant of additional identified onshore and northern beach mining and prospecting areas currently under application, that the additional mining areas will allow the current beach mining areas to replenish.

Tormin – Permitting

The Section 24G Application determination was received in December 2018, and a fine of ZAR1.25 million (US$0.1 million) was imposed on the Company.

The Company considers the fine excessive given the nature of the alleged minor infringements and the fact that the Department of Mineral Resources (“DMR”) had previously given permission to commence the activities under the Environmental Management Programme (“EMP”). The Company is liaising with the relevant committee in an attempt to negotiate a lower fine. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company will not be formally appealing the determination.

During the September 2018 quarter, the Company reported that it had lodged its financial performance bond for the Klipvley Karoo Kop Prospecting Right Application (10259 PR) covering the farming area to the north of the current Tormin operations. Subsequently, the Company received notification from the DMR of the refusal of an Environmental Authorisation Application (“EAA”) for the Prospecting Right, which was the final step for the granting of the Prospecting Right to this area. The Company has filed an Appeal against the refusal of the EAA and considers there are strong technical and legal grounds for the Appeal to be successful.

In early 2019, EAA approval was received in respect of the Company’s Prospection Right Applications 10261 PR and 10262 PR.

The Company is still awaiting a decision regarding the environmental approval Appeal submitted in June 2018 for the De Punt Prospecting Right Application (10240 PR), which is situated directly adjoining the southern boundary of the Company owned Geelwal Karoo Farm where the Tormin operations are located.

These prospecting right areas are not core to and will not affect the current Tormin mining operations and planned expansion covered under the Section 102 Extended Mining Rights Application (“Section 102 Application”).

As previously reported, the Company has lodged a Section 102 Application for the adjoining northern beaches and the inland strand deposits located on the Company owned freehold farm land. The Section 102 Application includes the preparation and submission of a full Mining Work Programme, which details a minimum 10-year mine life program on the expanded areas covered under the application. On granting of the requisite permitting, the Company intends to adopt a phased development program with an initial increase in primary beach concentration capacity and subsequently incorporate the construction of a Mineral Separation Plant (“MSP”) to produce final products from the Company’s concentrates.

Tormin – Permitting (continued)

The Company has concluded all aspects of the Section 102 Application public participation process. The final versions of the Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”) and EMP reports with all public comments were submitted on 13 November 2018. The DMR now has 107 days to hand down a final decision, which based on the legislative timeframes is by 24 March 2019.

The Mining Right Renewal applications for both the current Tormin Mining Rights (162 and 163) were submitted to the DMR in August 2018. These applications are under consideration and a decision is also expected in March 2019. The Company is able to continue to operate whilst the renewal application process takes its due course.

The Company maintains its optimism in the push by the current government and the DMR to reinvigorate mining in South Africa and is confident, whilst the process has been frustrating in the past, that the quality of its assets in South Africa warrant persistence to ensure that permitting for the Tormin mine expansion is given every opportunity of success.

Xolobeni Mineral Sands Project

Since his appointment in February 2018, the Minister of Mines for South Africa, the Honorable Gwede Mantashe, has undertaken a number of visits to the Xolobeni project area in an attempt to understand the community issues between the pro and anti-mining groups. The intention of the Minister’s intervention, as publicly stated, is to resolve the impasse in relation to the progression of mining in the area.

The Company, through its subsidiary Transworld Energy and Minerals Resources (SA) (Pty) Ltd) (“TEM”), has been engaged as a respondent in litigation with Xolobeni traditional land owners. In a landmark decision, the High Court of South Africa has ruled against the Company and the DMR in finding that the fully informed consent from affected traditional land owners who hold informal land rights under the Interim Protection of Informal Land Rights Act (“IPILRA”) must be obtained prior to the granting of any mining rights. This ruling is in conflict with the current Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act (“MPRDA”) legislation which provides for consultation, not consent, which is vested in the competent authority, the DMR. The decision has been appealed by various groups including the Chamber of Mines in South Africa and the DMR.

The Company continues to consider that the Xolobeni Mineral Sands Project has compelling socio-economic benefits for the area and can be developed in conjunction with the eco-tourism and agricultural initiatives that are being put forward by various stakeholders.

2018 Mining Charter

On 27 September 2018, the Minister of Mines for South Africa, the Honorable Gwede Mantashe, published the Broad-Based Black Socio-Economic Empowerment Charter for the South African Mining and Minerals Industry, 2018 (“Mining Charter, 2018”).

This sets out the composition of the required minimum 30% Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (“BBBEE”) shareholding.

Applications for mining rights that are pending at the commencement of the Mining Charter, 2018 will be granted if the applicants have a 26% BBBEE shareholding in place (in accordance with the 2010 Mining Charter) with a requirement to increase to 30% within five years. There appears to be no restriction in respect of the commercial nature of the equity increase (i.e. sale or subscription and dilution), the class of beneficiary (it can be a community, an entrepreneur or employees) or in respect of the level within a company at which the transaction is implemented (holding level or asset level).

For new mining rights to be issued, there will be a requirement for the mining right to be held 30% by BBBEE shareholders, with a minimum 20% to be held by a BBBEE entrepreneur and 5% to be held by HDSA employees. Significantly, 5% of the employees’ stake will be a free carry and non-transferable. Communities must hold an equity equivalent 5% interest in the mining right.

For new mining rights to be issued, there will be a requirement that 1% of Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortisation (“EBITDA”) is paid to communities and employees as a trickle dividend from the sixth year of a mining right until dividends are declared or at any point in a 12-month period where dividends are not declared.

The Mining Charter, 2018 will increase the target to procure services from BBBEE entities from 70% to 80% and increase the target to procure goods from BBBEE entities from 50% (in respect of consumer goods) and 40% (in respect of capital goods) to 70%. Up to 5% of the total procurement budget on mining goods and up to 10% of budget on services may be offset using supplier and/or enterprise development.

2018 Mining Charter (continued)

The Company is currently assessing the impacts of the Mining Charter, 2018.

The Company’s operating subsidiary for the Tormin Mineral Sands Operation, Mineral Sands Resources (Pty) Ltd (“MSR”), has a 50% BBBEE shareholding. Irrespective of the fact that MSR’s 50% BBBEE shareholding exceeds the minimum 30% shareholding required under the Mining Charter, 2018, and that MSR already has mining right applications in place, the Company is currently considering appropriate amendments in the ownership structure of MSR to comply with the full intentions of the new Mining Charter, 2018.

The Company’s subsidiary for the Xolobeni Mineral Sands Project, Transworld Energy and Minerals Resources (SA) (Pty) Ltd) (“TEM”), has a 26% BBBEE shareholding. As this 26% BBBEE shareholding is less than the minimum 30% BBBEE shareholding required under the Mining Charter, 2018, the Company will be giving due consideration at the appropriate time to the necessary amendments in the ownership structure of TEM to comply with the full intentions of the Mining Charter, 2018.

Munglinup Graphite Project

MRC Graphite Pty Ltd (“MRCG”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, continued to progress the Munglinup Graphite Project during 2018. Following the Pre-Feasibility Study (“PFS”) results, released to the ASX on 30 May 2018, a Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”) was commissioned, with Battery Limits engaged to manage the DFS.

The PFS results demonstrated the project’s potential as a robust, low capital and low operating cost operation. The PFS highlighted:

A post-tax project NPV of A$139 million;
A post-tax project IRR of 48%;
Average annual EBIT of A$42.4 million; and
Net cash flow of A$216.5 million.

An Ore Reserve of 3.4 million tonnes at an average grade of 15.9% Total Graphitic Carbon (“TGC”) was declared in the PFS, comprising a Proven Reserve of 1.4 million tonnes at 15.8% TGC and a Probable Reserve of 2.0 million tonnes at 16.0% TGC. The expected minimum mine life is nine years with an average annual production of 54,800t of graphite concentrate.

MRCG has made considerable progress throughout the 2018 year in advancing the Munglinup Graphite Project, through significant activities across metallurgical test work, resource evaluation, drilling, core sampling, environmental studies and hydrological/geotechnical drilling in its DFS.

As part of the DFS, the Company carried out optimisation test work on flake size distribution and final grades of the concentrate with results, as released on 22 October 2018, confirming graphite concentrate flake size distribution and grade improvements.

The results showed that the coarse flake fraction (+150µm) can be maintained at around 50% of the concentrate at high average Total Graphite Content (“TGC”) grades (up to 97.7%) and that high-grade fines (-150µm) concentrate can be produced with up to an average of 98.3% TGC across the finer size fractions. The Company is particularly pleased with the high grades achieved for the finer flakes and the mass split to the coarse fraction.

The Company remains on schedule to deliver the Munglinup Graphite Project DFS in March 2019. Permitting for the project is ongoing with the environmental approvals currently under consideration by the relevant government departments. The project was referred to the Department of Environment and Energy (Federal) and the Environmental Protection Authority (State) in November 2018 for assessment. MRCG is awaiting the outcomes of these assessments which are expected to be finalised shortly. It is hoped that the outcome will be positive for MRCG allowing for onsite construction to begin later in the year after the annual wet period, however, should the worst-case scenario be realised, it is possible that a delay of 54 to 70 weeks may be incurred.

During the year, the Company acquired E74/565, an exploration licence adjoining the mining lease hosting the Munglinup graphite deposit. Previous airborne geophysical surveys undertaken in 2011 resulted in the identification of significant anomalies within the Company’s current mining lease that extend into E74/565. The acquisition of this adjoining exploration licence will provide significant benefit to the Munglinup Graphite Project in terms of consolidation of mineral prospectivity, and availability of additional areas for infrastructure.

Directors’ report (continued)

Review of operations (continued)

Munglinup Graphite Project (continued)

Expandable graphite testwork, conducted by European consultancy group Dorfner ANZAPLAN, was completed with results released on 10 May 2018. The results exhibited excellent expandable volumes for Munglinup graphite of 400 ml/g for coarse (+300 micron) flakes and expansion volumes of 305 ml/g for medium (+180 to -300 micron) flakes. The graphite was shown to be suitable for a broad range of expandable graphite markets.

The Company also executed a Research Agreement with the University of Adelaide (“UoA”), for the testing of graphite concentrate from Munglinup for the production of graphene and graphene related products, using the University’s proprietary methods. UoA is at the forefront of graphene research in Australia, leading the Australian Research Council (“ARC”) research hub for graphene. The Research Agreement is focused on developing graphene production routes that are low cost, environmentally friendly and scalable. This proof of concept study, if successful, will be followed by a pilot scale program.

The Company also announced on 13 December 2018 an additional one year extension to the Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) between MRCG and Doral Fused Materials Pty Ltd (“Doral”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Iwatani Corporation, for exclusive access to the Doral fused alumina facility site. As previously announced, the fused alumina facility has been identified as a possible site for downstream graphite processing due to the existing infrastructure, permitting, access to power and connectivity.

Iran

The Company has continued to actively establish its presence in Iran and has reviewed in excess of 36 greenfields, brownfields and operating mining projects.

The unilateral withdrawal in May 2018 by the United States of America from the United Nation (“UN”) sanctioned Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action has provided a significant obstacle to expanding the Company’s footprint in Iran. Management is actively monitoring the situation and remains committed to extracting value from its first mover advantage in Iran.

Australian Exploration

The Company, via its wholly owned subsidiary, MRC Exploration Australia Pty Ltd (“MRCEA”), has acquired eight new exploration licences and has entered into joint venture agreements on two other exploration tenements in Western Australia. The Company is targeting lithium (Yandeyarra and Geraldton Prospects), channel iron (Glen Florrie Prospect), gold-copper (Doolgunna and Cave Hill Prospects) and vanadium (Triple Eight Prospect). Exploration work completed on the Doolgunna Prospect is reported separately below.

These additional Australian exploration licences also support the Company’s long-term strategy of commodity diversification through exploration upside. Exploration work in these areas involves a $1.5 million fully funded minimum commitment over the next two years.

During 2018, the following activities were conducted on the Company’s exploration prospects in Western Australia:

Glen Florrie Prospect - The Company commenced negotiations on access arrangements with the pastoral lease holder underlying the Glen Florrie Prospect;
Geraldton Prospect - Applications have been submitted for two tenements considered prospective for lithium and tantalum bearing pegmatite in the Mid-west region;
Collie Triple Eight Titanomagnetite Project - The Company entered into an option agreement to acquire the historic Triple Eight Titanomagnetite Project near Collie in Western Australia. The acquisition comprises an active mining lease that expires on 25 June 2038, with the initial option to earn 51% for a cash consideration of A$25,000 and a minimum expenditure of A$250,000.

Subject to satisfaction of the initial option, the Company has a right to purchase the remaining 49% for A$500,000. The acquisition of this prospective vanadium project is consistent with the Company’s corporate strategy of geopolitical diversification and targeting commodities crucial to the battery technology revolution taking place;

Yandeyarra Prospect - The Company is working towards a heritage agreement with the Yamatji Marlpa Aboriginal Corporation, which represents the relevant native title holders and has engaged with the Mugarinya Community Association with a view to negotiating an access agreement allowing access to the Yandeyarra Reserve; and
Doolgunna Gold and Copper Prospect – as described following.

Doolgunna Gold and Copper Prospect

During the first half of the 2018 year, MRCEA conducted a first phase exploration and bulk sampling campaign to confirm historical intersections and gold recoveries along a quartz reef known as the Revere Reef located on tenement E51/1766.

There are other targets and gold occurrences on the Doolgunna tenements, however the Revere Reef was assigned priority status due to its potential to host high-grade gold associated with strong metasomatic alteration and outcrops of quartz reef and stockwork structures.

The Company announced on 5 September 2018 outstanding assay results from its bulk sampling and RC drilling program, with 17 g/t Au to 326 g/t Au calculated gold grades from bulk sample testing over a 900m section of exposed quartz reef. These initial bulk sample results and first-pass drilling campaign confirm that the Revere Reef system is a priority target for the discovery of a significant highgrade gold deposit.

A 41-hole RC drilling program for 1,500m was completed during the September 2018 quarter and was focused along a NE-trending alteration system within the Doolgunna formation which hosts the Revere Reef system. The holes intersected several narrow, low grade intervals of gold mineralisation based on the assay results received from conventional 50g fire assay analysis. The lower than expected assay results most likely reflect a high nugget gold distribution, consistent with the very coarse, visible gold observed in rock chip samples of the reef. As a result, the future analysis of drill samples has adopted methods considered more appropriate for coarse gold detection.

To further investigate the potential of a high nugget gold distribution, five bulk samples were collected from three shallow prospecting pits located along a 900 metre section of the Revere Reef system. After some on site processing, the final concentrates of three samples were submitted to the Perth Mint for grade determination. All bulk samples returned highly encouraging calculated gold results as summarised in the below table.

Bulk sampling grade results

Area	Sample (kg)	Recovered Gold (Perth Mint –grams)	Au Grade (g/t)
Main reef contact zone – not quartz,Central Pit	293.4	95.58	325.77
Main quartz reef in Central Pit	271.6	82.25	302.84
South Pit – near surface sample	258.5	4.44	17.18

A drilling and trenching program was commenced at Doolgunna during the December 2018 quarter in response to the encouraging results seen during the first exploration program. A further 7,345m was drilled and a bulk sampling program was completed. The program will concentrate on trying to deliver a Mineral Resource on previously identified high-grade gold mineralisation zones. This drilling and trenching program will allow MRC to fully investigate the near surface potential of this identified reef discovery.

Consolidated result and financial position

Revenue for the year was $55.4 million (2017: $62.6 million), a 12% decrease on the prior year. Lower sales revenue was due to substantially lower concentrate volumes shipped during the current year, partially offset by higher zircon, rutile and ilmenite concentrate prices achieved.

Gross profit margins were generally maintained, with the Revenue to Cost of Goods Sold Ratio for the year of 1.43 (2017: 1.46), as the impacts of decreasing mine grades and production cash cost increases were mostly offset by improved processing plant performance and higher sales prices achieved for the Company’s zircon, rutile and ilmenite concentrates.

Review of operations (continued)

Consolidated result and financial position (continued)

Corporate administration and share incentive expenses for the year of $7.4 million (2017: $5.8 million) were incurred, with the increase over the prior year a result of the Company investing in greater management talent with the aim of executing its strategic growth initiatives, in addition to full amortisation on long term incentive performance rights exceeding the pre-established exercise price.

Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation for the Group (“EBITDA”) was $14.7 million (2017: $19.1 million), a 23% decrease on the prior year. The lower overall sales volumes and revenue, in-conjunction with increased corporate overheads translated into the lower reported EBITDA for the 2018 year, when compared to 2017 results.

Net finance costs for 2018 of $0.1 million (2017: $0.8 million net finance income) was reported, with the prior financial year’s reported net finance income assisted by foreign currency hedging gains.

The profit before income tax expense (“NPBT”) was $10.4 million (2017: $14.0 million), a 25% decrease on the prior year.

The profit of the consolidated entity after income tax attributable to members of the parent entity (“NPAT”) for 2018 year was $8.8 million (2017: $9.9 million), an 11% decrease on the prior year.

The main contributors towards the decreased NPAT when compared to 2017 results, was the lower shipping volumes and mined grades, and increased diesel, maintenance, corporate and net finance costs. The impacts of these was partially offset by improved sales pricing and plant performance, and a lower effective tax rate for the current year of 16% (2017: 29%).

At 31 December 2018, the Company had $12.4 million in cash (2017: $11.0 million), with trade and other receivables of $6.0 million (2017: $6.1 million).

Net working capital as at 31 December 2018 was $13.4 million (2017: $15.8 million).

Borrowings as at 31 December 2018 were $5.1 million (2017: $4.2 million). The increased borrowings reflect additional debt funding for six new 745 Articulated Dump Trucks for the Tormin Operation, partially offset by $1.5 million repayments against the GMA loan facility previously provided to finance Tormin’s garnet stripping plant.

Net assets of the Group as at 31 December 2018 were $42.1 million (2017: $45.9 million). Contributing to the decrease in reported net assets were foreign exchange differences on translation of foreign owned operations due to a significant weakening of the Rand from 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2018, and a restatement of retained earnings at 1 January 2018 arising from the application of the new accounting standard AASB 15 Revenue for Contracts with Customers. Further information regarding the impacts of the application of AASB 15 Revenue for Contracts with Customers is contained in Note 1.8 of the Financial Statements.

Strong net cash inflow from operating activities for the year of $14.5 million (2017: $22.3 million) continued to fund the Company’s significant investment program and dividend distributions.

Net cash investments in acquisitions, exploration, feasibility studies, mine development, property, plant and equipment during 2018 totalled $9.3 million (2017: $5.4 million)

The Company’s dividend payment strategy to provide cash returns to shareholders continued, with a further $3.8 million (2017: $5.2 million) distributed in dividends during 2018.

Corporate and Financial

The Board of the Company was pleased to be able to declare and pay during the year a 0.7 Australian cent per share final dividend in respect of the 2017 year, followed by an interim dividend for the half year ended 2018 of 0.6 Australian cent per ordinary share.

Mineral Commodities Ltd Financial Report for the year ended 31 December 2018

Directors’ report (continued)

Review of operations (continued)

Corporate and Financial (continued)

The current and expected future cash position and earnings of the Company is expected to continue to provide for the payment of future dividends as part of the Company’s overall capital management strategy.

The Company continues to actively pursue business development opportunities in the industrial minerals, base metals and precious metals sectors, in accordance with the Company’s strategy to diversify both in commodities and jurisdictions.

Outlook

Tormin operations will continue to focus on optimising the mining and processing value chain to deliver results in line with 2018 figures. In addition, a concerted effort will continue to be made to secure the full granting of the Company’s current mining right renewal application, the Section 102 application for expanded mining rights and its prospecting right applications.

Until such time that additional permitting is granted allowing an expansion and access to the inland strand and northern beach resources, the Company recognises it will need to continue to address issues surrounding mining a replenishing beach and the uncertainties relating to replenishment quantities and grade. Mitigation management includes the adjustment of mining rates to allow sufficient time for the active beach mining areas to replenish, which may result in the scaling back of operations at various periods throughout the year and increasing production from the amphibious excavator that will allow access to the previously unmined portions of the resource which sit within the perimeter of the lower tidal boundaries and surf zone.

Management will drive the completion of the Definitive Feasibility Study for the Munglinup Graphite Project and expedite the requisite studies and regulatory approvals to fast track this project to development.

The advancement of the permitting process in South Africa for the expansion of the Tormin mining operation, combined with the progress of the tier 1 jurisdiction Munglinup Graphite Project and the success of the initial drilling at the Doolgunna Gold Prospect in Western Australia, sees the Company well positioned in 2019 to deliver on its stated expansion and diversification business development strategy.

A. Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

In order to retain and attract executives of sufficient calibre to facilitate the efficient and effective management of the Company’s operations, the Board reviews the remuneration packages of all key management personnel, if any, on an annual basis and makes recommendations. Remuneration packages are reviewed with due regard to performance and other relevant factors. Remuneration packages may contain the following key elements:

(a) Directors’ fees;

(b) Salary and consultancy; and
(c) Benefits, including the provision of a motor vehicle and superannuation.

Fees payable to non-executive Directors reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of the Directors. The Board reviews non-executive Directors’ fees and payments on an annual basis. The non-executive Directors fee pool was set at $500,000 on 30 May 2008 at the Annual General Meeting. Non-Executive Director fees are paid with an aggregate limit (currently $500,000) which is approved by the shareholders from time to time. Non-Executive Directors serve in accordance with a standard letter of appointment which sets out the remuneration arrangements.

Executives are offered a competitive base pay which is reviewed annually to ensure the pay is competitive with the market.

There were short term cash incentives provided to the Executive Chairman, Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), Technical Services Manager (“TSM”) and Group Legal Counsel (“GLC”). Long-term incentives are provided to Directors and other key management personnel to incentivise them to deliver long-term shareholder returns.

Mineral Commodities Ltd Annual Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2018

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

1. Basis of Preparation

This section provides information about the overall basis of preparation that is considered to be useful in understanding these financial statements. Accounting policies specific to the various components of the financial statements are located within the relevant section of the report.

1.1 Corporate information

Mineral Commodities Ltd (the “Company”) is a company limited by shares, domiciled and incorporated in Australia. Its shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”). The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Company and its controlled entities are described in the directors’ report and in the segment information in Note 2.1.

The financial report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2018 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of directors with effect on 28 February 2019.

1.2 Basis of accounting

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . Mineral Commodities Ltd is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.

(i) Compliance with IFRS

The consolidated financial statements of the Group also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

(ii) Historical cost convention

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following:

financial assets and liabilities

(iii) Presentation currency

The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States (“USD”) dollars, which is the Company’s presentation currency.

1.3 Comparative Information

Certain comparatives have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

1.4 Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the parent entity, Mineral Commodities Ltd, and its controlled entities (together are referred to hereafter as the “Group”). A list of significant controlled entities is presented in Note 6.1.

Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has the rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if, and only if, the Group has all of the following:

power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee);
exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of the entities that are not controlled by the Group is shown separately in the Income Statement, Statement of Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet and Statement of Changes in Equity respectively.

Mineral Commodities Ltd Annual Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2018

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

1. Basis of Preparation (continued)

1.5 Foreign currency

(i) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars, which is the Company’s presentation currency.

Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented have been translated at the closing rate at the date of balance sheet;
Results for the cash flow statement were translated at average daily exchange rates from 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2018; and
exchange differences on translating income, expenses and movements in equity and reserves at annual average exchange rates and assets and liabilities at closing exchange rates from functional currency to presentation currency are taken to the foreign currency translation reserve in the equity section and under other comprehensive income/(expense) in the statement of comprehensive income.

(ii) Transaction and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognised in profit or loss. They are deferred in equity if they relate to qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges or are attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign operation.

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are presented in the income statement, within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the income statement on a net basis within other income or other expenses.

Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. For example, translation differences on non-monetary assets and liabilities, such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss, are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss and translation differences on non-monetary assets, such as equities classified as available-for-sale financial assets, are recognised in other comprehensive income.

(iii) Group companies

The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet;
income and expenses for each income statement and statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and
all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, the associated exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate.

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST and VAT except where the GST and VAT incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST and VAT is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and where receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST and VAT included. The net amount of GST and VAT recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables in the consolidated balance sheet. Cash flows are included in the statements of cash flows on a gross basis and the GST and VAT component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority, are classified as operating cash flows. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST and VAT recoverable from, or payable to, the relevant taxation authority.

1.7 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The Group makes significant estimates and judgements concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates may not equal the related actual results. The estimates and judgements that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

The directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.

Significant judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management in the preparation of these financial statements are found in the following notes:

Note 2.2: Revenue recognition

Note 2.4: Recognition of deferred taxes

Note 3.1: Exploration and evaluation expenditure

Note 3.2: Development expenditure

Note 3.3: Property, plant and equipment

Note 3.5: Rehabilitation provisions

1.8 Application of new and revised Australian Accounting Standards

A number of new or amended standards became applicable for the current reporting period and the Group had to change its accounting policies and make retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting the following standards:

AASB 9 Financial Instruments, and
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

The impact of the adoption of these standards and the new accounting policies are disclosed below.

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Group has applied AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (as amended) for the first time in the current period. AASB 15 establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

1. Basis of Preparation (continued)

1.8 Application of new and revised Australian Accounting Standards ( continued)

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (continued)

The core principle of AASB 15 is that an entity should recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Specifically, the Standard introduces a 5-step approach to revenue recognition:

Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation

Under AASB 15, an entity recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when ‘control’ of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer.

Far more prescriptive guidance has been added in AASB 15 to deal with specific scenarios. The Company has considered AASB 15 in detail and has identified one difference in revenue recognition in comparison to prior periods. Under the Company’s prior period accounting policy, revenue from the stockpiling of goods was recognised when there was evidence that there had been a transfer of risks and rewards to the customer. This is based on a contractual obligation of the customer to take final delivery and make full and final payment for all amounts delivered to the stockpile, which is clearly identified and available to the buyer. Under AASB 15, revenue recognition requires transfer of control, which is a sterner test than transfer of risk and rewards. A thorough review of our current commercial contract for the stockpiling of goods does not support effective transfer of control at that point in time as the Company retains legal title and has the ability to control the use of the product.

New Revenue Accounting Policy

Revenue is recognised when the significant control of products has been transferred to the customer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing management involvement with the goods and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. Revenue is measured net of returns, trade allowances, rebates and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

The timing of the transfer of control varies depending on the individual terms of the sales agreement. Generally for the Group, this is based on free-on-board (“FOB”) sales where transfer of control passes at port of origin or cost, insurance and freight (“CIF”) sales where control passes at port of destination. Sales revenue is recognised for FOB and CIF sales on bill of lading date. Sales revenue comprises gross revenue earned from the provision of product to customers. Sales are initially recognised at estimated sales value when the product is delivered. Adjustments are made for variations in metals price, assay, weight and moisture content between the time of delivery and the time of final settlement of sales proceeds.

The majority of the Group’s revenue is derived from product sales with revenue recognised at a point in time when control of the goods has transferred to the customer.

Revenue from the sales of garnet product has two performance obligations, sale of product and transportation services, both of which are satisfied at a point in time. Revenue from the stockpiling of goods is deferred until final sale of product when control of product is finally transferred.

Contract liabilities and inventories have increased due to the initial recognition of garnet in inventory as a result of an accounting policy change after adopting the new AASB 15 “Revenue” standard. In prior periods, the Company recognised garnet stockpiling revenue as incurred. Under AASB 15, garnet stockpiling revenue does not meet the definition of a performance obligation that transfers control to the customer, therefore costs associated with producing this garnet in prior periods has been recognised as inventory and related revenue previously recognised in profit or loss has been recognised as a contract liability until this revenue is able to be recognised in future periods.

Accounts receivable for garnet stockpiling revenue recognised in advance of $2,649,440 has been reversed as again AASB 15 does not allow garnet stockpiling revenue recognition.

This reconciliation highlights the impact of AASB 15 on accounting balances incurred during the year.

Contract liabilities and inventories have increased due to the recognition of garnet in inventory at the GMA Secured stockpile, as stockpiling of goods does not support effective transfer of control at that point in time as the Company retains legal title and has the ability to control the use of the product. AASB 15 adjustments to contract liabilities of $18,098,880 reflects the recognition of garnet in inventory at the GMA Secured stockpile. AASB 15 adjustments to inventory of $15,132,576 also reflects recognition of garnet in inventory at the GMA Secured stockpile at a year-end stock value.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments

The Group applies, for the first time, AASB 9 Financial Instruments. AASB 9 Financial Instruments replaces AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, bringing together all three aspects of the accounting for financial instruments: classification and measurement; impairment; and hedge accounting. The adoption of AASB 9 Financial Instruments from 1 January 2018 resulted in the Group’s accounting policies being updated with no adjustments to the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

This standard amends the classification and measurement of the financial assets. It introduces an ‘expected credit loss’ model rather than ‘incurred loss’ model for impairment of the financial assets. Refer to 5.4(a) for further details on trade receivables - impairment.

Reclassification of available for sale financial assets to fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL): At 31 Dec 2017, the Group had shares and units in unlisted entities classified as available-for-sale (AFS) financial assets of $24,689. On 1 January 2018, these have been reclassified into the fair value through profit or loss category. There were no cumulative fair value changes in the Group’s available for sale financial assets in other comprehensive income (OCI) as at 1 January 2018 and therefore no adjustments were required on transition to opening retained earnings.

1.9 Impact of standards issued but not yet applied by the entity

AASB 16 Leases was issued in February 2016. It will result in almost all leases being recognised on the balance sheet, 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 standard will affect primarily the accounting for the Group’s operating leases. As at the reporting date, the Group has noncancellable operating lease commitments of $1,177,186. However, the Group has not yet determined to what extent these commitments will result in the recognition of an asset and a liability for future payments and how this will affect the Group’s profit and classification of cash flows.

Some of the commitments may be covered by the exception for short-term and low-value leases and some commitments may relate to arrangements that will not qualify as leases under AASB 16.

2.4 Taxation

(i) Income tax expense

Accounting Policies

The income tax expense 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.

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, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also 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/loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

The Company and all its wholly-owned Australian resident entities are part of a tax-consolidated group under Australian taxation law. Mineral Commodities Ltd is the head entity in the tax-consolidated group. The head entity and the controlled entities in the tax-consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. Current tax liabilities and assets and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and tax credits of the members of the tax-consolidated group are recognised by the Company (as head entity in the tax-consolidated group).

The Company and the other entities in the tax-consolidated group have entered into a tax funding agreement and a tax sharing agreement.

(ii) Deferred tax assets and liabilities

Accounting Policies

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 foreign operations where the Company 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.

Significant Judgement – Deferred taxes recognised

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if the Group considers it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. As a result of this review, at balance date, it was determined that losses of $Nil (2017: $Nil) at 30% have been bought to account as it is now probable that they will be recovered.

3. Capital Expenditure, Operating Assets and Rehabilitation Obligations

This section includes information about the assets used by the Group to generate profits and revenue, specifically information relating to its exploration and evaluation assets, mine development expenditures, property, plant and equipment, associated rehabilitation obligations, and commitments for capital expenditure not yet recognised as a liability.

3.1 Exploration and evaluation assets

Accounting Policies

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred by or on behalf of the Group is accumulated separately for each area of interest. Such expenditure comprises direct costs and does not include general overheads or administrative expenditure not having a specific nexus with a particular area of interest.

Exploration expenditure for each area of interest is carried forward as an asset provided the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current and one of the following conditions is met:

The exploration and evaluation expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; or
Exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not, at the reporting date, reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interests is continuing.

Exploration expenditure is written off when it fails to meet at least one of the conditions outlined above or an area of interest is abandoned.

When a decision is made to develop an area of interest, all carried forward exploration expenditure in relation to the area of interest is transferred to development expenditure.

No amortisation is charged during the exploration and evaluation phase.

Please refer to note 3.4 for the Group’s accounting policy on impairment of exploration and evaluation assets.

3. Capital Expenditure, Operating Assets and Rehabilitation Obligations (continued)

3.1 Exploration and evaluation assets (continued)

Significant judgement

The carrying value of exploration assets is reviewed on an area of interest basis. Exploration in Australia and Iran is in its infancy stages and are being carried forward on the basis that these areas have not, at the reporting date, reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interests is continuing.

Recoupment of the capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure of the Xolobeni Mineral Sands area of interest in South Africa is dependent on either the successful development and commercial exploitation or the settlement of the proposed transaction, as announced to the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) in July 2016, to divest of the Company’s interest in Transworld Energy and Resources (SA) Pty Ltd (“TEM”), which owns the Xolobeni Mineral Sands Project. The Xolobeni exploration asset is being carried forward on that basis.

The proposed transaction has not resulted in Xolobeni being classified as held for sale in accordance with AASB 5 as at 31 December 2018, as it is not highly probable that the transaction will complete due to required regulatory approvals, stage of negotiation of the consideration and involvement of a third party who holds shares in TEM.

3.2 Development expenditure

Accounting Policies

Development expenditure

Development expenditure represents the accumulated exploration, evaluation, land and development expenditure incurred by or on behalf of the Group in relation to areas of interest in which mining of a mineral resource has commenced.

When further development expenditure is incurred in respect of a mine property after commencement of production, such expenditure is carried forward as part of the development expenditure only when substantial future economic benefits are thereby established, otherwise such expenditure is classified as part of the cost of production.

The estimated recoverable reserves and life of the mine and the remaining useful life of each class of asset are reassessed at least annually. Where there is a change in the reserves/resources amortisation rates are correspondingly adjusted. Please refer to the table in note 3.3 for basis of amortisation rates used.

Please refer to note 3.4 for the Group’s accounting policy on impairment of development expenditure.

3.2 Development expenditure (continued)

Significant judgement

Reserves and Resources

In order to calculate ore reserves and mineral resources, estimates and assumptions are required about a range of geological, technical and economic factors, including quantities, grades, production techniques, recovery rates, production costs, transport costs, commodity demand, commodity prices and exchange rates. The Group estimates its ore reserves and mineral resources based on information compiled by Competent Persons (as defined in accordance with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves as revised in 2012 (the JORC code).

As economic assumptions used to estimate reserves change and as additional geological data is generated during the course of operations, estimates of reserves and mineral resources may vary from period to period. Changes in reported reserves and mineral resources may affect the Group’s financial results and financial position in a number of ways, including the following:

Asset carrying values may be affected due to changes in estimated future cash flows;
Depreciation and amortisation charges in profit or loss may change where such charges are determined by the units of production basis, or where the useful economic lives of assets change; and
Restoration and rehabilitation provision may be affected due to changes in the magnitude of future restoration and rehabilitation expenditure.

Carrying value assessment

The Company is currently going through a Section 102 Mining Right Extension Application for access to the Northern Beaches and the Inland Strand, for an overall 11 year Life of Mine (“LOM”) from this point (including for the current Tormin Mining Rights). The Company has concluded all aspects of the Section 102 Application public participation process and the final submission of the Environmental Impact Assessment and Environmental Management Programme reports, with all public comments, was submitted on 13 November 2018. The DMR now has 107 days to hand down a final decision. Based on the legislative timetable, the Company expects a final decision on the Section 102 Application in Q1 2019.

Despite the fact that the current Mining Rights technically expired on 26 November 2018, in accordance with section 24(5) of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act, mining rights continue in force until such time as the renewal application is determined. The Company has submitted an application for renewal of the existing Mining Rights over the current area (i.e. without extending the mining area). The renewal application was filed with the DMR no less than 60 working days before 26 November 2018. Given permitting uncertainty the Company has undertaken a conservative impairment assessment of the carrying value of the Tormin assets as at 31 December 2018. This impairment assessment is based on mining the existing resource for 12 months from 31 December 2018 and, given MSR owns the underlying pastoral land known as Farm Geelwal Karoo, sell the remaining inventory stockpiles, using current prices. Based on these assumptions the carrying value of the Tormin assets did not exceed their recoverable amount.

The Group is confident that the assessment of the Mining Rights will be positively progressed in the 2019 financial year.

3.3 Property, plant and equipment

Accounting Policies

Property, plant and equipment

Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Items of plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost and include any expenditure that is directly attributable to acquisition of the items. Subsequent costs are included in the assets carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset as appropriate. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the profit for the year in which they are incurred.

De-commissioning assets relates to capitalised restoration costs expected to be incurred.

The assets residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date. An assets carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the assets carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment

Depreciation and amortisation is provided to expense the cost of property, plant and equipment, and de-commissioning assets and development, over its estimated useful life on a straight line or units of usage (activity) basis.

The basis of depreciation and amortisation of each asset is reviewed annually and changes to the basis of depreciation and amortisation are made if the straight line or units of production basis is no longer considered to represent the expected pattern of consumption of economic benefits.

The reserves and life of each mine and the remaining useful life of each class of asset are reassessed at regular intervals and the depreciation and amortisation rates adjusted accordingly on a prospective basis. The estimated useful lives for the main categories of assets are as follows:

Fixed Asset Category	Estimated Useful Life
Mineproperties and development	The shorter of applicable mine life orgenerally10years
Land	Not depreciated
Mine buildings	The shorter of applicable mine life orgenerally10years
Excavators and loaders working in significant salt exposed conditions	Generally 12,000 hours operation
All other heavyearth movingvehicles	Generally18,000 hours operation
Light and other mobile vehicles	Generally5years
Mine specificmachinery, plant and equipment	The shorterofapplicableminelife orgenerally10 years
Other machinery, plant and equipment	Generally10 years
Computer hardware	Generally4years
Software acquisitions and development	Generally3years
Office leasehold fit-outs	Generallylease term,includingextensions
Other office furniture and fittings	Generally10years

Note: For assets under a finance lease, if there is no reasonable certainty that the lessee will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset shall be fully depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or its useful life.

Note: “Generally” implies that if a specific asset or class of assets useful life is reasonably able to be determined as less than that stipulated above, then the applicable lower estimated useful life is to be used.

3.3 Property, plant and equipment (continued)

Disposal of assets

The gain or loss on disposal of assets is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset at the time of disposal and the proceeds on disposal and is included in profit for the year of disposal.

Significant judgement

Estimation of useful lives of assets

The Group determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its property, plant and equipment and finite life mine development assets which requires significant estimation and judgement. The depreciation and amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or nonstrategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down.

The estimated recoverable reserves and life of the mine and the remaining useful life of each class of asset is reassessed at least annually based upon latest resource information and replenishment rates. In circumstances where conversion of resources into reserves is expected, applicable resources are included in life of mine assessments and reassessments. In circumstances where there is reasonable evidence of natural replenishment of resources, the applicable natural replenishment resource estimates is included in the life of mine assessments and reassessments.

Where the lives of the assets are shorter than the mine life, their costs are amortised based on the useful life of the assets. Where there is a change in the estimated life of mine, amortisation rates are correspondingly adjusted which may change the depreciation and amortisation charges in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

The Group has sought clarity on the status of its current mining right applications (refer note 3.2 – Carrying value assessment for further details) and is confident that the assessment of the mining rights will be positively progressed in the 2019 financial year. On that basis there has been no change to the estimation of useful lives of assets since 31 December 2017.

3.4 Impairment of non-current assets

Accounting Policies

The carrying amounts of the Group’s exploration and evaluation assets, development expenditure and property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. Where an indicator of impairment exists, a formal estimate of the recoverable amount is made.

Indicators of impairment – exploration and evaluation assets

The carrying amounts of the Group’s exploration and evaluation assets are reviewed at each reporting date, to determine whether any of the following indicators of impairment exists:

(i) Tenure over the licence area has expired during the period or will expire in the near future, and is not expected to be renewed; or
(ii) Substantive expenditure on further exploration for, and evaluation of, mineral resources in the specific area is not budgeted or planned; or
(iii) Exploration for, and evaluation of, resources in the specific area have not led to the discovery of commercially viable quantities of resources, and the Group has decided to discontinue activities in the specific area; or
(iv) Sufficient data exists to indicate that although a development is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development or from sale.

Impairment testing – other assets

Other assets are tested 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 of disposal 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 other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.

Refer note 3.2 – Carrying value assessment for further details of the assessment of Tormin assets.

3.5 Rehabilitation provisions

Accounting Policies

Provisions for environmental rehabilitation are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of exploration, development and/or production activities undertaken and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated.

The estimated future obligations include the costs of removing facilities and restoring the affected areas and is the best estimate of the present value of the future expenditure required to settle the environmental rehabilitation at reporting date, based on current legal requirements. Any changes in the estimate are reflected in the present value of the environmental rehabilitation provision at the reporting date, with a corresponding change in the cost of the associated asset.

Significant judgement

A provision has been made for the present value of anticipated costs for future rehabilitation of land explored or mined. The Group’s mining and exploration activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. The Group recognises management's best estimate for assets retirement obligations and site rehabilitations in the period in which they are incurred. Actual costs incurred in the future periods could differ materially from the estimates. Additionally, future changes to environmental laws and regulations, life of mine estimates and discount rates could affect the carrying amount of this provision.

3.6 Commitments for expenditure

The Group has the following commitments for expenditure for which no liabilities have been recorded in the financial statements as the goods or services have not been received, including non-cancellable operating lease rentals:

a) Capital commitments

Committed at the reporting date but not recognised as liabilities, payable:

Property, plant and equipment

- 365,108

b) Operating lease commitments

Accounting Policies

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Group as lessee are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

Lease income from operating leases where the Group is a lessor is recognised in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The respective leased assets are included in the balance sheet based on their nature.

Non-cancellable operating leases contracted for but not capitalised in the accounts:

	1,177,186 2,061,972

Operating lease commitments includes contracted amounts for offices and plant and equipment under non-cancellable operating leases expiring within one to five years with, in some cases, options to extend. The leases have various escalation clauses. On renewal, the terms of the leases are renegotiated.

4. Working Capital Management

This section provides information about the Group’s working capital balances and management, including cash flow information.

4.1 Cash and cash equivalents

Accounting Policies

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 an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts.

Impairment of receivables

No impairment of receivables has been recognised by the Group for the year ended 31 December 2018.

Fair values and credit risk

Except for the non-current trade receivables, due to the short term nature of these receivables the carrying values represent their respective fair values as at 31 December 2018 and 2017. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of each class of receivables mentioned above. The non-current trade receivables have a fair value of $NIL as at 31 December 2018, compared to a carrying amount of $NIL (2017: fair value of $Nil and carrying amount of $Nil).

The fair values were calculated based on cash flows discounted using a current lending rate. Refer to note 5.4 for more information on the risk management policy of the Group and the credit quality of the entity’s receivables.

Foreign exchange and interest rate risk

Information about the Group’s exposure to foreign exchange and interest rate risk in relation to trade and other receivables is provided in note 5.4.

4.3 Inventories

Accounting Policies

Raw materials and stores, ore stockpiles and work in progress and finished stocks are physically measured or estimated and valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value less costs to sell is assessed annually based on the amount estimated to be obtained from sale of the item of inventory in the normal course of business, less any anticipated costs to be incurred prior to its sale.

Weighted average cost comprises direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure and depreciation and amortisation relating to mining activities, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity. As a result of mineral sands being co-products from the same mineral separation process, costs are allocated to the various finished products on the basis of the relative sales value of the finished goods produced. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Inventories of consumable supplies and spare parts expected to be used in production are valued at the lower of weighted average cost, which includes the cost of purchase as well as transportation and statutory charges, or net realisable value. Any provision for obsolescence is determined by reference to specific stock items identified.

	25,756,725 9,141,797

The costs of individual items of inventory are determined using weighted average cost. Finished product at cost as at 31 December 2018 reflects the impact of the application of the new AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (refer note 1.8).

4.4 Trade and other payables

Accounting Policies

Trade and other payables are recognised originally at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Trade and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of each reporting period that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of goods and services. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months from the reporting date.

4.5 Unearned revenue

Accounting Policies

Unearned revenue is recognised originally at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Unearned revenue represents revenue that has been received by the Group for requested goods where control has not yet been transferred as the goods have not been substantially provided. Unearned revenue is recognised as revenue subsequent to this in accordance with the Group’s revenue recognition policy (Refer note 2.2). Unearned revenue is presented as current liabilities unless product delivery is not due within 12 months from the reporting date.

	31 Dec 2018 $ 31 Dec 2017 $
Unearned revenue	1,670,100 1,793,475

The costs of individual items of inventory are determined using weighted average cost.

4.6 Contract Liabilities

Accounting Policies

Contract liabilities are recognised originally at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost. Contract liabilities represents revenue that has been received by the Group per the Amended and Restated Garnet Offtake Agreement where control has not yet been transferred. Contract liabilities are recognised in accordance with the Group’s revenue recognition policy (Refer note 2.2).

	31 Dec 2018 $ 31 Dec 2017 $
Contract liabilities	18,098,880 -

In accordance with note 1.8 adjustments caused by the implementation of the new AASB 15 Revenue standard as at 1 January 2018 was to recognise a Contract liability of $15,449,440 with a further $2,649,440 reclassified from accounts receivable to contract liabilities (total $18,098,880). There has been no movement in the contract liability balance in 2018 as the same 210,000 tonnes of garnet was stockpiled and delivered to the delivery point.

(i) Fair values and credit risk

Due to the nature of the contract liability, the carrying values represent their respective fair values as at 31 December 2018.

5. Funding and Risk Management

This section provides information relating to the management of capital, credit, liquidity and market risks and the policies for measuring and managing these risks.

5.1 Interest bearing loans and borrowings

Accounting Policies

All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at cost, being fair value of the consideration received net of issue costs associated with the borrowing.

After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any issue costs, and any discount or premium on settlement.

Gains and losses are recognised in the income statement when the liabilities are derecognised and as well as through the amortisation process.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting periods.

Details of the contractual maturities can be found in Note 5.4.

(a) Finance lease commitments

Accounting Policies

Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Group, as lessee, has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease’s inception at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other short-term and long-term payables. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases is depreciated over the asset’s useful life or over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term if there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership at the end of the lease term.

Commitments in relation to minimum lease repayments under equipment acquisition agreements:

Under the terms of the leases, the Group will become the owner of the leased assets on the final payment under instalment sale agreements.

5.2 Net finance costs

Accounting Policies

Interest income is recognised as it accrues on a time proportion basis using the effective interest method.

Borrowing costs incurred for the construction of any qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs are expensed.

5.4 Financial risk management

Accounting Policies

The Group classifies its financial instruments on initial recognition. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial instrument was acquired.

(i) Recognition and de-recognition

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade date; the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

(ii) Fair value

Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value of all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and other pricing models.

The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as forward foreign currency contracts to hedge its risk associated with foreign currency fluctuations. Such derivatives are stated at fair value. The fair value of forward exchange contracts is calculated by reference to current forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturity profiles. Changes in the fair value of forward foreign currency contracts are recorded in profit or loss, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

5. Funding and Risk Management (continued)

5.4 Financial risk management (continued)

(iii) Financial Liabilities

Financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost, comprising original debt less principal payments and amortisation of transaction costs.

(iv) Impairment

At each reporting date, the Group assess whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised on equity instruments classified as available for sale are not reversed through the income statement.

This note explains the Group’s exposure to financial risks and how these risks could affect the Group’s future financial performance. Current year profit or loss information has been included where relevant to add further context.

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, as detailed in the below table:

Risk	Exposure arising from	Measurement	Management
Market risk – foreign exchange risk	Future commercial transactions Recognised financial assets and liabilities not denominated in USD	Cash flow forecasting Sensitivity analysis	Foreign currency forwards and foreign currency options
Market risk – interest rate risk	The Company’s long-term borrowings are at fixed interest rates, therefore it is not exposed to changesin variableinterestrates	N/A	N/A
Market risk – price risk	Investments in equity securities	Sensitivity analysis	N/A

Credit risk	Cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables	Aging analysis Credit ratings	Credit limits, retention of title over product sold and letters of credit
Liquidity risk	Borrowings and other liabilities	Rolling cash flow forecasts	Availability of committed credit lines and borrowingfacilities

The Group’s risk management is predominantly controlled by the finance department (“Treasury”) under policies approved by the Board of Directors. Treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close co-operation with the Group’s operating units. The board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, commodity price risk, use of derivative financial instruments and nonderivative financial instruments, and investment of excess liquidity.

The Group manages foreign exchange risk through hedging the South African Rand and Australian Dollar using foreign currency forwards and foreign currency options in line with its Treasury Policy. The mark-to-market position of the Group’s hedged position as at 31 December 2018 was:

At 31 December 2018	Value of Hedges contracted Mark-to-market value of hedges Mark-to-market hedge position

(a) Market risk

(i) Foreign exchange risk

The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures.

As detailed in note 1.2(iii), items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars, which is the Company’s presentation currency.

Based on the financial instruments held at the reporting date, the sensitivity of the Group’s profits after tax for the year and equity at the reporting date to movements in the United States Dollar to South African Rand (ZAR) was:

USD/ZAR exchange rate – decrease 10%	(2,775,789)	(822,697)	-	-

(ii) Interest rate risk

The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to the Group’s floating interest rate cash balance which is subject to movements in interest rates. The Board monitors its cash balance on an ongoing basis and liaises with its financiers regularly to mitigate cash flow interest rate risk. Interest is charged on the loans from the parent company to the South African subsidiaries at rates permitted by the South African Reserve Bank. This interest is eliminated on consolidation.

(iii) Price risk

The Group has an exposure to equity securities price risk. This arises from investments held by the Group and classified on the balance sheet as at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”). The Group’s investment in equity securities at FVTPL is $674,751 (2017: $27,317), which is monitored by the Board of Directors. Any investment in equity securities would require approval by the Board of Directors.

(iv) Credit risk

Credit risk is managed on a group basis. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks, as well as credit exposures including outstanding receivables and investments in unlisted entities.

All cash balances held at banks are held at internationally recognised institutions. The Group has a strict code of credit and requires the majority of its customers to have letters of credit in place. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date to trade receivables is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the balance sheet and notes to the financial statements. The Group does not hold any collateral.

The Group has two types of financial assets that are subject to the expected credit loss model:

trade receivables for sales of inventory, and
debt investments carried at amortised cost.

Trade receivables

The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables.

To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due.

The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales over a period of 36 month before 31 December 2018 or 1 January 2018 respectively and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables. The Group has identified the GDP of the countries in which it sells its goods and services to be the most relevant factors, and accordingly adjusts the historical loss rates based on expected changes in these factors.

On that basis, the loss allowance as at 31 December 2018 and 1 January 2018 (on adoption of AASB 9) was determined as follows for both trade receivables and contract assets:

At 31 December 2018	Current More than 30 days past due More than 60 days past due More than 90 days past due Total
Expected loss rate Gross carrying amount – trade receivables Loss allowance	0% 0% 0% 0% 1,855,508 - 24,531 9,993 1,890,032
	- - - - -
At 1 January 2018	Current More than 30 days past due More than 60 days past due More than 90 days past due Total
Expected loss rate Gross carrying amount – trade receivables Loss allowance	0% 0% 0% 0% 386,994 458,079 93,621 2,570,540 3,509,234
	- - - - -

Trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan with the Group, and a failure to make contractual payments for a period of greater than 120 days past due.

Impairment losses on trade receivables are presented as net impairment losses within operating profit. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the same line item.

Other financial assets at amortised cost

Other financial assets at amortised include loans to directors and employees of subsidiaries, deposits and other receivables.

(v) Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash to meet obligations when due. At the end of the reporting period, the Group held cash and cash equivalents totalling $12,410,510 (2017: $10,975,817). Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Group’s liquidity reserve (comprising of cash and cash equivalents, note 4.1) on the basis of expected cash flows. This is carried out at the corporate level for all active companies of the Group in accordance with practice and limits set by the Group.

Financing arrangements

On 30 May 2014, the Company obtained an unsecured short term working capital facility of up to $4m from two major shareholders. Pursuant to the Loan Agreements entered into between the Company and the two major shareholders, the lenders provided a finance facility capped at $2.0m each on the following arm’s-length and commercial terms:

Loan is unsecured;
Interest of 13% per annum;
Line fee of 1% and establishment fee of 1%;
Repayment to take in three equal tranches on 31 January 2017, 28 February 2016 and 31 March 2016; and
Default interest of 10% if not repaid on the repayment date.

The above repayment dates were subsequently extended and the loans were fully repaid early in the 2017 financial year.

On 2 February 2016, the Company announced debt funding arrangements for its expansion initiatives relating to a GSP at its Tormin mine. Under the terms of the agreement, the borrowing is charged at Libor + 2% and repaid over three years from the repayment commencement date. The borrowings are secured by a special notarial bond over the GSP. Principal repayments of US$0.125 million per month plus interest charges against the facility commenced in June 2017.

Maturity of financial assets

The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash reserves and through the continuous monitoring of budgeted and actual cash flows. At the reporting date there is no significant liquidity risk. The table below analyses the Group’s maturity of financial assets:

(vi) Fair value hierarchy

To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Group classifies its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standards. An explanation of each level follows underneath the table.

(vii) Fair value hierarchy (continued)

The following table presents the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities measured and recognised at fair value at 31 December 2018 and 31 December 2017:

	Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
31 December 2018 Financial assets Derivatives – FVTPL Listed equity securities – FVTPL Unlisted equity securities - FVTPL Total financial assets Financial liabilities Borrowings Total financial liabilities	$ $ $ $ - 79,045 - 79,045 24,689 - - 24,689 - 650,062 - 650,062
	24,689 729,107 - 753,796 - (5,066,410) - (5,066,410)
	- (5,066,410) - (5,066,410)
	Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
31 December 2017 Financial assets Derivatives – FVTPL Listed equity securities – FVTPL Total financial assets Financial liabilities Borrowings Total financial liabilities	$ $ $ $ - 515,051 - 515,051 27,317 - - 27,317
	27,317 515,051 - 542,368
	- (4,206,041) - (4,206,041)
	- (4,206,041) - (4,206,041)

Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives and equity securities) is based on quoted (unadjusted) market prices at the end of the reporting period. The quoted marked price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1.

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over–the–counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities.

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

The use of quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments;
The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable yield curves;
The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at the reporting date; and
Other techniques, such as discounted cash flow analysis, are used to determine fair value for the remaining financial instruments.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

6. Group structure

6.1 Consolidated entities

Accounting Policies

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.

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

Associates

Associates are entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control or joint control. This is generally the case where the Group holds between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, after initially being recognised at cost.

Equity method

Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of the investee in profit or loss, and the Group’s share of movements in other comprehensive income of the investee in other comprehensive income. Dividends received or receivable from associates and joint ventures are recognised as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment.

When the Group’s share of losses in an equity-accounted investment equals or exceeds its interest in the entity, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the other entity.

Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in these entities. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of equity accounted investees have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

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 the Company.

Non-controlling interests

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated income statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and balance sheet respectively.

The Company, via its wholly owned subsidiary MRC Resources Proprietary Limited (“MRCR”), has a 50% interest in the issued capital in Mineral Sands Resources Proprietary Limited (“MSR”). Whilst the Group controls 50% of the share voting power, it has been determined that the Group effectively has 100% control due to its control over the relevant activities for accounting purposes, controls the management of MSR, and also controls the Board of MSR due to provisions set out in the Shareholders Agreement entered into between the shareholders of MSR.

6. Group structure (continued)

6.1 Consolidated entities (continued)

Therefore these financial statements include 100% of the results of MSR. In addition to the holding of the issued capital, the Group also holds Class A and B preference shares in MSR which effectively provides for the repayment of the capital investment and deemed investment by the Company’s Black Empowerment partner. Due to the terms attached to these A and B Preference Shares, they are categorised as an equity instrument. As the A preference shares and B preference shares would be redeemed out of distributable profits and net assets of MSR before all other ordinary shareholders, until such time as the net assets exceed the value of the unredeemed A and B preference shares, no value has been attributed to the non-controlling interest. Until that time, the non-controlling interest has no rights to the assets or results of the Company, and therefore has not been allocated any value in these financial statements.

(i) Material subsidiaries

The Group’s principal subsidiaries at 31 December 2018 are set out below. Unless otherwise stated, they have share capital consisting solely of ordinary shares that are held directly by the Group, and the proportion of ownership interests held equals the voting rights held by the Group.

7.2 Share based payments

Accounting policies

Equity-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to certain senior employees.

Equity-settled transactions are awards of options over shares that are provided to employees in exchange for the rendering of services.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is measured at fair value at grant date. The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The cumulative change to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, and then amortised over the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods.

a) Employee Options

The issue of employee options was approved by shareholders at a general meeting of the Company held on 21 December 2012. The employee option plan (“the Plan”) is designed to provide long-term incentives for senior managers and above (including directors) to deliver long-term shareholder returns. Options granted under the plan carry no dividend or voting rights. When exercisable each option is convertible into one ordinary share at the predetermined exercise price.

Grant date	Expiry date	Average Exercise price	Fair Value at grant date	Options at the start of the year	Granted during the year	Exercised during the year	Forfeited during the year	Lapsed during the year	Balance at the end of the year	Vested at the end of the year

The weighted average remaining contractual life of options outstanding at end of period is nil years (2017: 0.42 years)

Fair value of options granted

The assessed fair value at grant date of options issued in the prior period was independently determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option. The total share based payment expense for the year ended 31 December 2018 was $nil (2017: $15,242).

Fair value of Performance Rights granted

The assessed fair value at grant date of the Performance Rights issued during the period ended 31 December 2018 was determined using a trinomial option pricing model that takes into account the performance conditions (share price reaching A$0.20 per share for five consecutive days), the term of the Performance Right, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the Performance Right. The total share based payment expense for the period ended 31 December 2018 was $441,253 (2017: $289,028).

8. Other

This section provides information that is not directly related to the specific line items in the financial statements, including information about contingent assets and liabilities, other commitments, events after the end of the financial year, remuneration of auditors and changes to accounting policies and procedures.

8.1 Contingent assets and contingent liabilities

a) Contingent liabilities

Bank guarantees

FirstRand Bank Limited has issued a Bank Guarantee, in favour of the South African Department of Mineral Resources, in respect of MSR’s obligations under the Tormin Mining Right for an amount of ZAR2,628,000 (US$182,551) (2017: ZAR2,730,000 (US$220,467)).

FirstRand Bank Limited has issued a Bank Guarantee, in favour of the South African Department of Mineral Resources, in respect of MSR’s obligations under the De Punt Prospecting Right Application for an amount of ZAR320,000 (US$22,228) (2017: Nil).

Subsequent to balance date, FirstRand Bank Limited has issued a Bank Guarantee, in favour of the South African Department of Mineral Resources, in respect of MSR’s obligations under the Tormin Prospecting Right Application for an amount of ZAR1,874,989 (US$130,244) (2017: Nil).

Mineral Commodities Ltd Annual Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2018

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

8. Other (continued)

8.1 Contingent assets and contingent liabilities (continued)

Suretyship

With effect from 26[th] March 2015, MRCR has provided a surety to FirstRand Bank Limited of ZAR45,000,000 (US$ 3,125,873) (2017: ZAR45,000,000 (US$3,634,065)) for the due payment by MSR of all monies owed to FirstRand Bank Limited.

With effect from 15th September 2016, MSR has provided a surety to FirstRand Bank Limited of ZAR4,614,788 (US$ 320,561) (2017: ZAR4,614,788 (US$372,676)) for the due payment by Z Square M.P. Empowerment Company (Pty) Ltd of all monies owed to FirstRand Bank Limited.

The Company is of the view, based upon independent legal advice obtained, the Company has been compliant with the respective legislation and therefore the Company does not consider it has a present obligation with respect to this claim. Accordingly, no provision or liability in relation to the claim has been recognised in the financial statements. The Company will be pursuing legal proceedings and is confident in defending the claim.

Other contingent liabilities relate predominantly to actual or potential claims of the Group for which amounts are reasonably estimated but the liability is not probable and therefore the Group has not provided for such amounts in the financial report. This amounted to ZAR Nil (US$ Nil) (2017: ZAR18,000,000 (US$1,378,008).

Other than those mentioned above, there have been no other changes to contingent assets or liabilities since 31 December 2018.

8.5 Accounting Policies

a) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

The Group has not elected to apply any pronouncements before their effective date for the annual reporting period ended 31 December 2018.

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual period beginning on or after 1 January 2019, and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. The most significant of these are:

 IFRS 16 Leases (mandatorily effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019).

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

8. Other (continued)

8.5 Accounting Policies (continued)

a) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted (continued)

The Group’s assessment of the impact of these new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations is set out below:

Reference	Title	Nature of Change	Application date of standard	Impact on entity financial statements	Application date for entity
AASB 16 (issued February 2016)	Leases	AASB 16 eliminates the operating and finance lease classifications for lessees currently accounted for under AASB 117_Leases._It instead requires an entity to bring most leases into its statement of financial position in a similar way to how existing finance leases are treated under AASB 117. An entity will be required to recognise a lease liability and a right of use asset in its statement of financial position for most leases. There are some optional exemptions for leases with a period of 12 months or less and for low value leases. Lessor accounting remains largely unchanged from AASB 117.	Annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019.	To the extent that the entity, as lessee, has significant operating leases outstanding at the date of initial application, 1 January 2019, right-of-use assets will be recognised for the amount of the unamortised portion of the useful life, and lease liabilities will be recognised at the present value of the outstanding lease payments. Thereafter, earnings before interest, depreciation, amortisation and tax (EBITDA) will increase because operating lease expenses currently included in EBITDA will be recognised instead as amortisation of the right-of-use asset, and interest expense on the lease liability. However, there will be an overall reduction in net profit before tax in the early years of a lease because the amortisation and interest charges will exceed the current straight-line expense incurred under AASB 117 Leases. This trend will reverse in the later years. There will be no change to the accounting treatment for short- term leases less than 12 months and leases of low value items, which will continue to be expensed on a straight-line basis. Refer note 3.6(b) for current operating lease commitments as at 31 December 2018. The majority of current operating leases are short term in duration and require no change to their accountingtreatment.	1 January 2019

No other standards, interpretations or amendments which have been issued are expected to have an impact on the Group.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the members of Mineral Commodities Ltd

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Mineral Commodities Ltd (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2018, the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial report, including a summary of significant accounting policies and the directors’ declaration.

In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Group, is 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 2018 and of its financial performance for the year ended on that date; and
(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.

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.

Other information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the unaudited information contained in Directors’ report for the year ended 31 December 2018, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon, which we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, and the Annual report, which is expected to be made available to us after that date.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and 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 identified above 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 on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, 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.

When we read the Annual report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to the directors and will request that it is corrected. If it is not corrected, we will seek to have the matter appropriately brought to the attention of users for whom our report is prepared.

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 preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the group 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 Group 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.
