The high-resolution heliborne magnetic survey commenced in January 2021.
Transaction Structure
The 70% earn-in is comprised of two earn-in options as described below (together, the "Transaction").
First option: Mont Royal has an exclusive option to earn a 50% interest (the “First Option”): by making cash payments to Azimut aggregating C$80,000; and by funding not less than C$4,000,000 in exploration expenditures on the Project (the “First Option Earn-In Expenditures”), of which the first C$600,000 ("Initial Commitment") constitutes a firm commitment of Mont Royal. Subsequent to the Initial Commitment, Mont Royal has the right not to proceed with the First Option. The First Option is set out below:
| Period | Minimum First Option Earn-In Expenditures |
Cash Payments |
|---|---|---|
| At the latest on the first (1st) anniversary of the Effective Date |

The interim consolidated financial report does not include full disclosures of the type normally included in annual financial reports.
The interim consolidated financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs, cost is based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
(b) Statement of compliance

(c) New accounting standards and interpretations
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('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.
Standards and Interpretations applicable to 31 December 2020
In the period ended 31 December 2020, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Group and effective for the current reporting period. As a result of this review, the Directors have determined that there is no material impact of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Group and, therefore, no material change is necessary to Group accounting policies.
Accounting standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective
Certain Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations have recently been issued or amended but are not yet effective and have not been adopted by the Group for the reporting period ended 31 December 2020. The Directors have not early adopted any of these new or amended standards or interpretations. The Directors have not yet fully assessed the impact of these new or amended standards (to the extent relevant to the Group) and interpretations.

Where an acquisition does not meet the definition of a business combination the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of an asset comprises the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred also includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement.

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s responsibility for the review of the financial report
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Company’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
