MinRex Resources Limited Directors’ Report
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Overview
MinRex Resources Limited is an exploration company, listed on the Australian Securities Exchange, with its present focus being the exploration of gold and base metal projects in Western Australia. The Company currently holds five projects, with four of the projects being 70% owned and located in the East Pilbara Region of WA, comprising of the Daltons Gold Project, the Marble Bar North Gold Project, the Marble Bar South Gold Project and the Bamboo Creek Gold Project. Company’s fifth project, the Deflector Extended Gold Project is located at Gullewa, in the Murchison Region in Western Australia, which is 100% owned (Figure 1). The Company also continues to actively evaluate other exploration and corporate opportunities.

Figure 1: Location of MinRex Project Areas
During the 2020 financial year, MinRex completed active exploration programs at all of its project areas at Gullewa and in the East Pilbara Region. This has included the receipt of the assay results in July 2019 for surface exploration and sampling programme completed at the Deflector Extended Project, followed by a more extensive surface exploration programme in March 2020. Collectively, these two programs have collected a total of 178 rock samples and 131 soil samples. The March 2020 rock sampling results are considered to be excellent, with nine values over 1g/t Au being returned including three values over 4g/t Au from three different areas in the exploration licence. This promising project area is now being further evaluated with a view to commencing detailed geophysical work in the near future.
In the East Pilbara, assay results were received, in July 2019, relating to the surface exploration and sampling and further surface rock sampling programs with geological mapping and reconnaissance being completed during September/October 2019. During April/May 2020, Company completed a detailed airborne geophysical survey of the principal East Pilbara exploration licences. During the financial year, 370 rock samples were collected, while in total to date and since December 2017, twelve gold nuggets have been recovered by metal detecting and 840 surface rock samples have been collected from within the East Pilbara project areas.
During April/May 2020 detailed airborne magnetic and radiometric geophysical survey over the Daltons and Bamboo Creek Project exploration licences included over 2,500km of flying, at a sensor height of 30m and 50m

line spacing. The geophysical data generated was then subject to a detailed geological and structural interpretation, target generation and interpretation work, resulting in the delineation of indicative surface areas to be tested in the future. More detailed evaluation and interpretation of the geophysical data is now being conducted to better understand the highly prospective Daltons Project area.
Deflector Extended Project
Deflector Extended Project (E59/1657) lies 4km along strike to the northeast of the Silver Lake Resources Limited (ASX:SLR) Deflector Mine, where vein-hosted copper-gold mineralisation is currently the subject of underground mining and only 2km from the Golden Stream Mine, where gold has been produced from an open-pit in the past (Figure 2). Mineralisation in these gold deposits has a strong structural setting occurring in steeply-dipping shear zones in Archean greenstone rocks, with mineralisation in sulphide and other minerals in quartz veins and breccia zones. Both deposits trend towards MinRex’s tenement, where deep cover sequences have hindered previous exploration work. The Deflector Mine was opened in May 2016 where Silver Lake Resources continues to actively explore its Deflector area tenements, with drilling at the Deflector Mine and other deposits and prospects in the area, including immediately to the south of MinRex’s tenement.
About 85% of the surface of MinRex’s Deflector Extended Project area is covered by sand, colluvium, scree and alluvium, with only about 15% outcrop of mafic meta-basalt rocks, in the Cagacaroon Hills area, and other small areas of granite and dolerite. MinRex has been actively exploring the Deflector Extended Project area since 2012, utilising surface soil, auger and rock sampling and geological mapping to hone in to buried mineralised structures and favourable settings for mineralisation. In March 2020, an intensive rock and soil sampling program was completed at MinRex’s Deflector Extended Gold Project, at Gullewa. This field sampling program collected a total of 144 rock samples and 131 soil samples, from throughout the licence area but principally in the scree covered area immediately to the north of the Cagacaroon Hills. The rock sampling results are considered to be excellent, with nine values over 1g/t Au, including three values over 4g/t Au from three different areas in the north and east of the exploration licence.

At the “Corner Creek” (4.04g/t Au) and the “Eastern Dolerite” areas (4.89g/t Au) narrow quartz-goethite veins outcrop and sub-crop as scattered float, in mafic meta-basalt. These veins seem to be up to 100m in length, outcrop discontinuously and strike north-south to northeast-southwest and are sub-vertical. A third highly anomalous result (4.52g/t Au) was returned from a single grab sample of scattered, vein quartz float material

in colluvium on floodplain in the extreme north-eastern corner of the exploration licence. The high-grade gold assay results define a one kilometre wide and two kilometre long anomalous area that is a high priority for future exploration. Figure 2 shows the gold results for the 144 new rock samples, with the assays over 1g/t Au (1,000ppb) being labelled.
MinRex has now completed several surface sampling programs at its Deflector Extended Project, collecting a total of 744 surface rock samples, 725 soil samples and 185 auger drill samples within the tenement area. The most anomalous rock sample results are from three distinct areas in the north and east of the exploration licence, where a number of anomalous surface rock assay values (up to 4.89g/t Au) occur. These include outcropping and sub-cropping quartz-goethite veins and scattered quartz vein float, within mafic meta-basalt, meta-shale and on the surface of colluvial clay/sand cover.
The prevalence of higher gold values in rock and soil values in areas of mafic colluvium suggests that concealed mineralisation may lie below the blanket of scree surrounding the Cagacaroon Hills meta-basalt outcrop area, especially immediately to the north of the hills, and possibly extending to the north and east under colluvial cover. The gold assay results from all 744 of the rock samples collected to date are shown in Figure 3.
==> picture [447 x 366] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 3: Plan showing the geology and all rock sample gold results in E59/1657
In July 2019, the assay results were also received for 34 rock samples collected while conducting a reconnaissance exploration program at the Deflector Extended Project. These rock samples were taken from outcrop, float and scree, at random locations, in previously un-tested areas where prospective rocks were observed.
In total, 178 rock samples and 131 soil samples were collected at the Deflector Extended Project, during the year. The results from these programs have been reported in previous ASX announcements, with the results from all rock samples collected to date being shown on Figure 3 and all soil samples collected to date in Figure

- It is notable that the soil sampling results are generally very low-grade, possibly indicating the effect of the deep cover deposits obscuring any underlying gold anomalism.
==> picture [502 x 411] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 4: Plan showing the geology and all soil sample gold results in E59/1657
While some highly anomalous gold results have been returned from the surface sampling, it seems likely that the depth of cover to the north of the Cagacaroon Hills is probably obscuring any underlying mineralisation and the use of geophysics is considered important in these covered areas. Mineralisation in the region is associated with abundant disseminated to massive sulphide mineral bearing veins, in high-grade, structurally emplaced lode deposits, associated with abundant disseminated to massive sulphide mineral bearing veins and this style of mineralisation is thought to be suited to exploration with electrical geophysics.
Since the end of the financial year, the Company has had the open file, high-resolution electromagnetic, magnetic and other geophysical data over the Deflector Extended Project area at Gullewa reprocessed. This work identified numerous anomalous areas and led to a decision to complete future ground electrical surveys using IP and to extend the high-resolution magnetic coverage to include the entire lease area. These further geophysical programs will aim to pin-point the most anomalous areas for gold and base metals for a subsequent drilling campaign. Such subsequent drilling campaign will be subject to interpretation of future ground surveys and the receipt of all requisite approvals.

East Pilbara Gold Projects
During the period from December 2017 to June 2019, exploration of MinRex’s East Pilbara project areas comprised of four field exploration programs which collected 60 rock samples from the Daltons Project area (E45/4681), recovered 11 gold nuggets from the Marble Bar North tenement (P45/3040), along with a total of 60 rock samples and 70 rock samples from the Marble Bar South tenement (P45/3039). An additional 210 rock samples were also collected from the larger Bamboo Creek tenement (E45/4560) and 70 rock samples from the smaller Bamboo Creek tenement (E45/4853), a total of 470 samples (Figure 5).
==> picture [377 x 425] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 5: Location of MinRex’s four East Pilbara Project Areas
In July 2019, the assay results were received from the June 2019 surface exploration and sampling programme, comprising some 140 samples. During September/October 2019, further surface rock sampling programs, geological mapping and reconnaissance were completed for a total of 230 samples, bringing the total samples collected in the East Pilbara to 370, with a grand total to date of 840 samples from six field exploration programs. All samples collected were analysed which included gold, silver, antimony, arsenic, barium, cobalt, copper, chrome, iron, lithium, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, lead, lithium, platinum, palladium, sulphur, tin, tellurium, thorium, titanium, uranium, tungsten, vanadium and zinc. Within the four project areas, many of the assays were anomalous for gold, copper, silver, nickel, chrome and zinc.

MinRex Resources Limited Directors’ Report
The surface sampling work was then followed by an airborne geophysical survey of the principal East Pilbara exploration licences occurring during April/May 2020. This detailed airborne magnetic and radiometric survey over the Daltons and Bamboo Creek Project exploration licences included over 2,500km of flying at a sensor height of 30m and 50m line spacing. The geophysical data generated was subject to detailed geological and structural interpretation target generation and interpretation work during June 2020, which resulted in the delineation of indicative surface areas to be tested in the future. More detailed evaluation and interpretation of the geophysical data has now been completed to better understand the highly prospective Daltons Project area.
Daltons Project
At the Daltons Project (E45/4681) a total of 100 rock samples were collected in June 2019, from a large area, including the centre and across the entire width of the exploration licence. This included multiple rock types, structural settings, alteration zones, float, scree and colluvium. A few samples were also from the main old workings and previously un-sampled old workings. The assays of these samples were received in July 2019, which returned assays of up to 60.6/t Au and 5.8% Cu with the average grade of all 100 samples being 1.80g/t Au and 0.12% Cu, with a total of 14 samples assayed over 1.0g/t Au. The gold assay results for the 100 new rock samples, are shown on Figure 6.
There are old gold workings at the Daltons Mining Centre, located along a north-northwest-trending line of quartz and quartz-carbonate veins within the foliation of mafic greenstone schist, and associated alteration zones, in meta-basalt and other mafic and ultramafic rock types. The geology in the project area strikes northnorthwest is steeply dipping and layered with bands of jaspilite, quartzite, banded iron formation, ultramafic, felsic, mafic and amphibolite rocks, and granitoid. There are many structurally complex areas, numerous shear zones, major faults and steeply plunging fold axes, dips are between steeply east-dipping and vertical.
The mineralisation occurs as gold-copper in quartz veins with the highest copper content (shown by green malachite and red cuprite minerals in the quartz) being associated with the highest gold grades. MinRex has now collected a total of 160 rock samples from the Daltons Project area, and the gold results for all 160 of these samples are shown on Figure 7. It is encouraging that gold is seen to occur along a strike length of over 1500m and also in several parallel structures over a zone up to 500m wide.
During the current financial year, MinRex has continued its systematic exploration in the East Pilbara with the completion of a detailed airborne magnetic and radiometric geophysical survey during April/May 2020, over the Daltons Project (Figure 8). Geological and structural interpretation, target generation and interpretation work, based on the airborne geophysics, was then completed through June 2020 (Figure 9).

MinRex Resources Limited Directors’ Report
Subsequent to the financial year end, during August and September 2020, MinRex completed a second and more detailed, processing and interpretation of this high-resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric geophysical data at the Daltons Project. This more detailed litho-structural interpretation has shown structural elements within the prospective mafic/ultramafic rocks of the Kelly Group, considered prospective for Cu-Au mineralisation. Geological interpretation used a combination of the TMI second vertical derivative and various radioelement images, to produce an improved delineation of granitoids, gabbro, mafic and mafic/ultramafic rocks and felsic volcaniclastic rocks and intrusions. The subsequent targeting exercise has found strong links between structures and the known mineralisation and then used the new data to generate a list of 30 potential target areas. The target areas generated will assist with field exploration in the future.
Marble Bar North Project
At the Marble Bar North Project (P45/3040) 20 assays were received in July 2019, from the rock samples collected in June 2019. Many rock samples were from previously untested areas mainly in the south of the licence but also some from the old dumps, bulldozer heaps and minor old workings at the old Ironclad Mine site. The gold mineralisation in this area occurs as quartz veins in sheared and strongly carbonated greenstones and associated alteration zones, close to the greenstone/granite contact.
The gold assay results for all 80 rock samples collected to date by MinRex at the Marble Bar North Project are shown on Figure 10, along with the location of old workings, gold nugget locations and the generalised geology.

Marble Bar South Project
At the Marble Bar South Project (P45/3039) 20 assays were received in July 2019 from the rock samples collected in June 2019 from various locations, mainly in the southern sector of the licence, taken from scree, float and outcrops beyond as well as around the old workings. This licence contains the old McKays Find Mine which runs along a 30-40m high ridge of greenstone rocks which is truncated to the north by basal Fortescue Group conglomerate rocks. The known gold mineralisation occurs as a 100m long and 2m wide zone of quartz veining in pyritic-fuchsite-carbonate rock, which lies parallel to the regional schistosity. The aim of the current work was to commence testing of other parts of the licence for previously undetected gold mineralisation.
The gold assay results for all 90 rock samples collected to date by MinRex at the Marble Bar South Project are shown on Figure 11, along with the location of old workings and the generalised geology.

MinRex Resources Limited Directors’ Report
Bamboo Creek Project
During September/October 2019, MinRex completed its sixth field exploration program in the East Pilbara, which focussed on following up on the earlier very encouraging rock sampling results from the two Bamboo Creek Project exploration licences with detailed rock sampling and geological mapping to better understand the gold and base metals prospects identified and continue the search for as yet undiscovered mineralised systems. In all 180 samples were collected from the larger exploration licence (E45/4560) and 50 samples from the smaller exploration licence (E45/4853) for a grand total of 230 rock samples being collected.
==> picture [453 x 328] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 12: Geological map showing the Bamboo Creek Project area and Main Prospects
The Bamboo Creek Project area is prospective for gold mineralisation of the Bamboo Creek style. The Bamboo Creek goldfield lies just 5-10km to the north and east and along strike within the Warrawoona Group Greenstones that occur in the northern portion of the exploration licence (Figure 12). There is also potential for the felsic porphyry-hosted base metal and molybdenum mineralization of the Spinifex Ridge (Coppin Gap) type, with the Spinifex Ridge Mo-Cu deposit being just 2km to the west of the northern portion of the exploration licence, occurring within a porphyry intrusion into the Warrawoona Group Greenstone sequence. There is also potential for chrome-nickel mineralization in ultramafic bodies, as at Nobb Hill, as well as anomalism in other as yet unidentified, mineralization styles.
At the main Bamboo Creek Project exploration licence (E45/4560) 180 rock samples were collected, from multiple areas, but including some of the named prospects including the Northern Area ultramafic rock sequence, which may represent the along strike continuation of the Bamboo Creek goldfield, the BC07 prospect and the Nobb Hill layered ultramafic prospect. These samples were collected from a wide spread of rock types, outcrop, float and scree zones, beyond and around the main core prospect areas, to test for extensions and different mineralized zones.
15
MinRex Resources Limited Directors’ Report
In the Northern Prospect area, five percent of the 100 samples collected assayed over 0.1g/t Au with a highest value of 0.61g/t Au and anomalous gold values being spread along the southern contact of the ultramafic rock sequence with underlying mafic rocks and chert. Previous sampling in proximity to this contact zone has returned values up to 1.16 g/t Au and previous sampling at the nearby Norms Find prospect has also returned assay values of up to 22.9g/t Au, 36g/t Ag and 18.5% Cu. Figure 13 shows assay results for all rock sampling to date in this Northern Prospect area. These samples were mainly of iron-stained quartz vein rocks, outcrop and float, within the Warrawoona Group ultramafic greenstone rocks.
==> picture [453 x 368] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 13: Map of the Northern Prospect Area and all sample results to date in this area
Potential mineralisation types present in the Bamboo Creek Project includes felsic porphyry-hosted base metal and molybdenum mineralization of the Spinifex Ridge (Coppin Gap) style, which is related to the intrusion of granitic rocks. As the Spinifex Ridge Mo-Cu deposit is just 2km to the west of the northern portion of the exploration licence, the BC07 prospect area may be related to this style of mineralization. During the financial year a total of 40 rock samples were collected from the BC07 prospect, which comprises a complex system of fluorite-carbonate-quartz veins, with anomalous copper values. This sampling program covered a more extensive and wider area than that previously tested with the sampling having been extended along this extensive quartz vein system and also into the footwall and hanging wall rocks, which include extensive xenoliths and rafts of greenstones within the roof zone of the Coppin Gap Granodiorite.
The current BC07 vein sampling returned gold values of up to 0.27g/t Au, copper up to 1.1% Cu, lead up to 0.61% Pb and zinc up to 1.4% Zn. The assay results for all samples collected to date are shown on Figure 14. A total of 40 new samples were also collected at the large, coarse-grained ultramafic intrusion in the eastern portion of E45/4560 which comprises the Nobb Hill prospect.
This prominent hill outcrops in the eastern portion of the exploration licence and consists of layered bands of serpentinised peridotite and metapyroxenite, with some talcose alteration zones. Relatively few samples have
16
MinRex Resources Limited Directors’ Report
been collected from this prospect and the extent of any differentiation and accumulation of nickel, chromite and other metals within the intrusive body is as yet poorly understood.

At the smaller Bamboo Creek Project licence (E45/4853) a total of 50 rock samples were collected, over a wide spread of locations and rock types across the northernmost portion of the licence. This area lies in a zone that has earlier been interpreted, from geophysical interpretation, to contain xenoliths of mafic rock, some fault

zones, narrow intrusive felsic dykes, abundant small pegmatite dykes and quartz veins, all within the larger Mt Edgar Granitoid Complex.
The 120 samples collected to date are from a variety of rock types, including granite, mafic greenstone, pegmatite, quartz vein and surface weathered zones. The assay results for gold and base metals are shown on Figure 16, the northernmost samples, with larger circles, depict the 2019-2020 sample results.
Future exploration work in this exploration licence area will focus on soil sampling and further rock sampling, in order to detect any anomalous areas of mineralisation. The presence of mafic greenstone xenoliths, geophysical anomaly zones and trace levels of base metals and gold, in the sampling work, is considered encouraging for further follow-up work.

During the financial year, extensive mineral exploration, including geological mapping, reconnaissance of the old workings and prospects, rock sampling and airborne geophysics, has been completed at the East Pilbara project areas. From December 2017 through June 2020, a total of 840 rock samples have been collected from the East Pilbara Project areas, with many assays being anomalous for gold, copper, silver, nickel and chrome.
Further work is planned in the near future on all four East Pilbara Project areas with the next phase of field work incorporating visits to all four of the project areas near Marble Bar. Further detailed rock sampling, soil sampling in colluvium and soil covered areas and detailed geological mapping will be utilised to better understand these complex gold, base metal and poly-metallic mineralised systems. Target locations generated by the recent airborne geophysics and the subsequent geological interpretation and targeting work will also be checked in the field, including rock and soil sampling and geological mapping and possibly further geophysical work. This work is expected to commence as the weather conditions allow, avoiding the summer heat and rain, in the next field season in the Pilbara.

As part of its Corporate Governance Policies and Procedures, the Board has adopted a formal Remuneration Committee Charter.

MinRex Resources Limited Directors’ Report
The Company’s Constitution provides that the remuneration of Non-Executive Directors will not be more than the aggregate fixed sum determined by a general meeting. Before a determination is made by the Company in a general meeting, the aggregate sum of fees payable by the Company to the Non-Executive Directors is a maximum of $350,000 per annum, which was adopted by shareholders at a General Meeting held on 11 March 2020. This amount of the aggregate fixed sum may only be increased with the approval of Shareholders at a general meeting. Summary details of remuneration of the Non-Executive Directors are provided in the table above. The remuneration is not dependant on the satisfaction of a performance conditions.
Directors are entitled to be paid reasonable travelling, accommodation and other expenses incurred in consequence of their attendance at meetings of Directors and otherwise in the execution of their duties as Directors. A Director may also be paid additional amounts as fees or as the Directors determine where a Director performs extra services or makes any special exertions, which in the option of the Directors are outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a Director.
Consulting fees
As there are no full-time executives engaged by the Company and all Directors’ fees charged have been historically very low, the Board of Directors resolved to pay each and any Director the sum of $350 per hour (exclusive of GST) in consulting fees for any work performed in the pursuit of other corporate opportunities, as fair compensation for the professional work undertaken.

MinRex Resources Limited Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020
1. Corporate Information
MinRex Resources Limited and its controlled entities (“the Company” or “the Group”) is a for profit company domiciled in Australia and publicly listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). The nature of the operations and the principal activities of the Company are described in the Directors’ Report. The financial report for the year ended 30 June 2020 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 29 September 2020.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of preparation
The financial report is a general-purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board. The financial report has also been prepared on a historical cost basis. The financial report is presented in Australian dollars.
(b) Compliance with IFRS
The financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
(c) Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate all of the assets, liabilities and results of the parent, MinRex Resources Limited, and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (including any structured entities). Subsidiaries are entities the parent controls. The parent controls an entity when it 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 over the entity. A list of the wholly-owned subsidiaries is provided in Note 21.
The assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries are fully consolidated into the financial statements of the Group from the date on which control is obtained by the Group. The consolidation of a subsidiary is discontinued from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between group entities are fully eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed and adjustments made where necessary to ensure uniformity of the accounting policies adopted by the Group.
Equity interests in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Group are presented as “noncontrolling interests”. The Group initially recognises non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests in subsidiaries and are entitled to a proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets on liquidation at either fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, non-controlling interests are attributed their share of profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income. Non-controlling interests are shown separately within the equity section of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(d) Going concern
This report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company has incurred a net loss of $948,096 during the year ended 30 June 2020 (2019: $898,401), and experienced net cash outflows from operating activities of $964,981 (2019: $982,031). At the end of the reporting year, the Directors recognise the need to raise additional funds via equity raising to fund future planned exploration activities and project generation.
The Directors have reviewed the Company’s financial position and are of the opinion that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate as they believe the entity will be successful in securing additional funds through equity issues. As per 17 July 2020 announcement to the market and subsequent Shareholder approval obtained at 10 September 2020 General Meeting, the Company proposes to undertake a placement to Directors to raise $320,000 (before costs).
Should the Company not achieve the matters set out above, there is a material uncertainty as to whether the Company will continue as a going concern and therefore whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the ordinary course of business and the amounts stated in the financial report.
The financial report does not contain any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or to the amounts or classification of recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary should the Company not be able to continue as a going concern.
(e) New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
During the year ended 30 June 2020, the Group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are mandatory for the current reporting period. Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the Group:
AASB 16 Leases
The Group has adopted AASB 16 from 1 July 2019. The standard replaces AASB 117 'Leases' and for lessees eliminates the classifications of operating leases and finance leases. Except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities are recognised in the statement of financial position. Straight-line operating lease expense recognition is replaced with a depreciation charge for the right-of-use assets (included in operating costs) and an interest expense on the recognised lease liabilities (included in finance costs). In the earlier periods of the lease, the expenses associated with the lease under AASB 16 will be higher when compared to lease expenses under AASB 117. However, EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation) results improve as the operating expense is now replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit or loss. For classification within the statement of cash flows, the interest portion is disclosed in operating activities and the principal portion of the lease payments are separately disclosed in financing activities. For lessor accounting, the standard does not substantially change how a lessor accounts for leases.

(e) New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted (continued)
Impact of adoption
It has been determined by the Group that, other than the adoption of AASB 16, there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the financial performance and position of the Group from the adoption of these Accounting Standards.
AASB 16 was adopted using the modified retrospective approach and as such the comparatives have not been restated. The impact of adoption on opening retained profits/(losses) as at 1 July 2019 was as follows:
| Operating lease commitments as at 1 July 2019 (AASB 117) Operating lease commitments discount based on the weighted average incremental borrowing rate of 5% (AASB 16) and accumulated amortisation (AASB 16) Right of Use Asset (AASB 16) Lease Liabilities – current (AASB 16) Lease Liabilities – non-current (AASB 16) Tax effect on above adjustments Non-adjusted reduction in operating retained profits/losses as at 1 July 2019 |

(f) Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is being made. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duty. The Company assesses its revenue arrangements against specific criteria to determine if it is acting as principal or agent. The Company has concluded that it is acting as a principal in all of its revenue arrangements. The specific recognition criteria described below must also be met before revenue is recognised.
(g) Interest income
Interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR), which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or liability.
35
MinRex Resources Limited Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(h) Income tax
The income tax expense (revenue) comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income).
Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at the end of the reporting period. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.
Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the period as well unused tax losses.
Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised. Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.
(i) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
36
MinRex Resources Limited Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(j) Receivables
Amounts receivable from third parties are carried at amortised cost. The recoverability of the debts is assessed at balance date and specific allowance is made for any doubtful accounts.
(k) Mining tenements and mineral exploration and evaluation expenditure
Exploration and evaluation costs are written off in the year they are incurred apart from acquisition costs which are carried forward where right to tenure of the area of interest is current and they are expected to be recouped through sale or successful development and exploitation of the area of interest or, where exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.
Where an area of interest is abandoned or the Directors decide that it is not commercial, any accumulated acquisition costs in respect of that area are written off in the financial period the decision is made. Each area of interest is also reviewed at the end of each accounting period and accumulated costs written off to the extent that they will not be recoverable in the future.
Amortisation is not charged on costs carried forward in respect of areas of interest in the development phase until production commences.
(l) Plant and equipment
Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation and amortisation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including buildings and capitalised leased assets is calculated using the straight line method, over their estimated useful lives to the economic entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.
- The straight line depreciation and amortisation rates used for each class of assets are as follows: Plant and equipment 20%
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.
37
MinRex Resources Limited Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(m) Impairment of assets
At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed in profit and loss.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
(n) Accounts payable
Liabilities are recognised for amounts to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether or not billed to the Company. Trade accounts payable are normally settled within 30- 45 days.
(o) Contributed equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown as a deduction from the equity proceeds, net of any income tax benefit.
(p) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions are measured at the present value of the expected liability.
(q) Employee benefits
Wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave expected to be wholly settled within 12 months of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position date are recognised in respect of employees' services rendered up to the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position date and measured at amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when leave is taken and measured at the actual rates paid or payable. Liabilities for wages and salaries are included as part of other payables and liabilities for annual and sick leave are included as part of employee benefit provisions.
Long service leave
Liabilities for long service leave are recognised as part of the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees to the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expect future salaries and wages levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using high quality corporate bond rates at the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position date with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(r) Goods and services tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position are shown inclusive of GST.
Cash flows are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
(s) Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors of MinRex Resources Limited.
(t) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing the net profit/(loss) attributable to members of the Company for the reporting period, after excluding any costs of servicing equity, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares of the Company, adjusted for any bonus issue.
Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the basic EPS earnings/(loss), adjusted by the after tax effect of financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the effect on revenues and expenses of conversion to ordinary shares associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive ordinary shares adjusted for any bonus issue.
(u) Significant accounting estimates, judgments and assumptions
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments and estimates relating to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from the estimates made. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next accounting period are:
Impairment of exploration and evaluation assets and investments in and loans to subsidiaries The ultimate recoupment of the value of exploration and evaluation assets, the Company’s investment in subsidiaries, and loans to subsidiaries is dependent on the successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale, of the exploration and evaluation asset.
Impairment tests are carried out on a regular basis to identify whether the asset carrying values exceed their recoverable amounts. There is significant estimation and judgement in determining the inputs and assumptions used in determining the recoverable amounts.
39
MinRex Resources Limited Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(u) Significant accounting estimates, judgments and assumptions (continued)
The key areas of judgement and estimation include:
-
Recent exploration and evaluation results and resource estimates;
-
Environmental issues that may impact on the underlying tenements;
-
Fundamental economic factors that have an impact on the planned operations and carrying values of assets and liabilities.
Carrying Value of Exploration and Evaluation Assets
The Company assessed the carrying value of its exploration expenditure for indicators of impairment and concluded that impairment testing of the project was not required.
Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may have on the Group based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the Group operates.
(v) New accounting standards for application in future periods
New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2020. The Group's assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the Group, is set out below.
| Reference/ Title | Summary | Application date of standard |
Application date for Group |

1 January 2020 | 1 July 2020 |
| IASB amends the definition of a business (IFRS 3) |
The IASB has issued amendments to the guidance in IFRS 3 Business Combinations that revises the definition of a business. |
1 January 2020 | 1 July 2020 |
| Sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture (AASB 2014- 10) |
The amendments clarify the accounting treatment for sales or contribution of assets between an investor and its associates or joint ventures. They confirm that the accounting depends on whether the contributed assets constitute a business or an asset. |
1 January 2022 | 1 July 2022 |
The Group has considered what impact these accounting standards will have on the financial statements, when applied next year, and have concluded that they will have no material impact.

MinRex Resources Limited Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020
3. Segment information
For management purposes, the Company is organized into one main operating segment, which involves mining and exploration for gold and other minerals. All of the Company’s activities are interrelated, and discrete financial information is reported to the Board (Chief Operating Decision Makers) as a single segment. Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based upon analysis of the Company as one segment. The financial results from this segment are equivalent to the consolidated financial statements of the Company as a whole. Total revenue earned by the Company is generated in Australia and all the Company’s non-current assets reside in Australia.

11. Contributed equity (continued)
Terms and conditions of contributed equity
Ordinary shares participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company in proportion to the number of shares held. The fully paid ordinary shares have no par value.
At the shareholders’ meetings each ordinary share is entitled to one vote when a poll is called, otherwise each shareholder has one vote on a show of hands.
Capital risk management
The Group’s and the Parent’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain optimal capital structure to reduce the costs of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may pay dividends to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets. During 2020 financial year, the Group’s strategy, which was unchanged from 2019 financial year, was to maintain borrowings outside of trade and other payables.

16. Financial risk management
Exposure to interest rate, liquidity and credit risk arises in the normal course of the Company’s business. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments.
The Company uses different methods as discussed below to manage risks that arise from these financial instruments. The objective is to support the delivery of the financial targets while protecting future financial security. Risk management is carried out by executive management with guidance from the Audit & Risk Committee. Primary responsibility for the identification and management of financial risks rests with the Board.
(a) Liquidity risk
The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash facilities to meet the operating requirements of the business. The responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors.
Maturity analysis for financial liabilities
Financial liabilities of the Company comprise trade and other payables. As at 30 June 2019 and 30 June 2020, all financial liabilities are contractually matured within 30 days.
(b) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of financial instruments.
The Company’s exposure to market risk for changes to interest rate risk relates primarily to its earnings on cash.

16. Financial risk management (continued)
Interest rate sensitivity
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity of the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income to a reasonably possible change in variable interest rates, with all other variables constant.
| Effect on equity | Effect on post | Effect on equity | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Effect on post tax | including | tax earnings | including | |
| earnings | accumulated losses | increase/ | accumulated losses | |

| Decrease 50 basis | ||||
| points | (2,518) | (2,518) | (2,786) | (2,786) |
A sensitivity of 50 basis points has been used as this is considered reasonable given the current level of both short term and long term Australian Dollar interest rates. The change in basis points is derived from a review of historical movements and management’s judgement of future trends.
(b) Credit risk exposures
Credit risk represents the risk that the counterparty to the financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the Company to incur a financial loss. The Company’s maximum credit exposure is the carrying amounts of financial assets in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
At 30 June 2020, the Company held cash at bank. The cash was held with financial institution with a rating from Standard & Poors of AA or above (long term). The Company has no past due or impaired debtors as at 30 June 2020 (2019: Nil).
(c) Fair value
The carrying value of the financial instruments as at 30 June 2020 approximates their fair value due to their short term nature.
17. Contingent liabilities
There are no contingent liabilities as at the date of this report.
18. Capital commitments
The Company’s minimum expenditure commitments in relation to its tenements are as follows:
| Within 12 months Between 12 months and 5 years |

19. Events subsequent to reporting date
There are no matters or circumstances that have arisen since the end of the year which will significantly affect, or may significantly affect, the state of affairs or operations of the Company in future financial periods except for:
-
On 1 July 2020, the Company’s Registered Office and Principal Place of Business changed to Level 11, 216 St Georges Terrace, Perth WA 6000;
-
On 10 September 2020, shareholders approved a placement to Directors of a total of 26,666,667 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.012 to raise $320,000 (before costs) together with 1 free attaching Option for every 4 new shares issued (being on the same terms as offered under the NonRenounceable Entitlement Issue Offer per above);
-
On 10 September 2020, shareholders approved, further to the recent Board appointments of Messrs Bahen, Whiddon and Pearse as Non-Executive Directors of the Company, to issue each Director 5,000,000 Performance Rights expiring 5 years from the date of issue, which will convert into fully paid ordinary shares of MinRex on a 1 for 1 basis on the 20-day VWAP of the Company’s share price reaching $0.04. The Performance Rights were issued as part of the remuneration packages agreed with each Director and are intended to reward and further incentivise the Board for delivering value to shareholders. The Performance Rights were issued on 16 September 2020;
-
The impact of the Coronavirus (‘COVID-19’) pandemic is ongoing for the Group up to 30 June 2020, it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date. The situation is rapidly developing and is dependent on measures imposed by the Australian Government and other countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
==> picture [143 x 120] intentionally omitted <==
TO THE MEMBERS OF
MINREX RESOURCES LIMITED
Report on the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial report of MinRex Resources Limited (the Company), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the Directors’ Declaration of the Company and the Group comprising the Company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.
In our opinion the accompanying financial report of MinRex Resources Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
-
i) Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2020 and its 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 believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Emphasis of Matter
Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 2(d) in the financial report which indicates the Group has incurred a loss of $948,096 (2019: loss of 898,401) and operating cash outflows of $964,981 (2019: $982,031) for the year ended 30 June 2020. The Group will be reliant on future capital raisings to continue as a going concern. These conditions along with other matters in note 2(d), indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the Group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
The financial report of the Group does not include any adjustments in relation to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern.
Independence
We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (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.
Key Audit Matter
A key audit matter is a matter that, in our professional judgement, was of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current year. This matter was addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as
52
PKF Perth
==> picture [143 x 120] intentionally omitted <==
a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on this matter. For the matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context
Capitalised Exploration and Evaluation Asset
Why significant
As at 30 June 2020 the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets was $5,656,000 (2019: $5,656,000) and the total impairment recognised during the year was $223,005 (2019: $220,202), as disclosed in Note 8.
The Group’s accounting policy in respect of exploration and evaluation asset is outlined in Note 2(k) with the nature of critical estimates and judgements relating to this balance outlined in Note 2(u). Significant judgement is required:
-
in determining whether facts and circumstances indicate that the exploration and evaluation assets should be tested for impairment in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources (“AASB 6”); and
-
in determining the treatment of exploration and evaluation expenditure in accordance with AASB 6, and the Group’s accounting policy. In particular:
-
whether areas of interest meet the recognition conditions for an asset; and
-
which elements of exploration and evaluation expenditures qualify for capitalisation for each area of interest.
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Our work included, but was not limited to, the following procedures:
-
to assess indicators of impairment and analyse the correctness of the impairment charge made during the year we performed the following:
-
assessing whether the rights to tenure of the areas of interest remained current at reporting date as well as confirming that rights to tenure are expected to be renewed for tenements that will expire in the near future;
-
holding discussions with the directors and management as to the status of ongoing exploration programmes for the areas of interest, as well as assessing if there was evidence that a decision had been made to discontinue activities in any specific areas of interest; and
-
obtaining and assessing evidence of the Group’s future intention for the areas of interest, including reviewing future budgeted expenditure and related work programmes;
-
considering whether exploration activities for the areas of interest had reached a stage where a reasonable assessment of economically recoverable reserves existed;
-
testing, on a sample basis, exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred during the year for compliance with AASB 6 and the Group’s accounting policy; and assessing the appropriateness of the related disclosures in Note 8.
Other Information
Those charged with governance are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of the Remuneration Report.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
53
PKF Perth
==> picture [143 x 120] intentionally omitted <==
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of 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 Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have 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 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 aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
As part of an audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Directors.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the Directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
54
PKF Perth
==> picture [143 x 120] intentionally omitted <==
- Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the Group financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the Directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with the Directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Report on the Remuneration Report
Opinion
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2020.
In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of MinRex Resources Limited for the year ended 30 June 2020, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
Responsibilities
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
