11. Capital Management
The Company manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue to meet its financial and operational strategies and obligations, while maximizing the return to shareholders through the optimization of equity financing. Management continuously monitors its capital position and periodically reports to the Board of Directors.
The Company is sensitive to changes in commodity prices and foreign exchange. The Company’s policy is to not hedge gold sales. The Company’s capital management policy has not changed in the three months ended September 30, 2020.
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to:
-
Ensure the Company has sufficient cash available to support the mining, exploration, and other areas of the business in any gold price environment;
-
Ensure the Company has the capital and capacity to support a long-term growth strategy; and
-
Minimize counterparty credit risk.
Other than restricted cash (Note 4) the Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital restrictions. Monument has the ability to adjust its capital structure by issuing new equity, issuing new debt, and by selling or acquiring assets. The Company can also control how much capital is returned to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks.
The capital of the Company consists of items included in equity and debt, net of cash and cash equivalents.

12. Financial Instruments and Financial Risk
The Company’s financial instruments are classified and measured at amortized cost (cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade and other receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities).
a) Fair value measurement
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade and other receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities are considered reasonable approximations of their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
The Company does not have any financial assets or financial liabilities measured at fair value subsequent to initial recognition.
b) Risk exposures and responses
The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to market risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk is comprised of three types of risk: foreign currency risk, price risk and interest rate risk.
Foreign currency risk
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent financial instruments held by the Company are not denominated in US dollars.

MONUMENT MINING LIMITED
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the three months ended September 30, 2020
(Unaudited – expressed in thousands of United States dollars, except share and per share amounts or otherwise stated)
At the reporting date, the Company is exposed to foreign currency risk through the following assets and liabilities denominated in Malaysian ringgit (RM), Australian dollar (AUD) and Canadian dollar (CAD):
| September | 30, 2020 | June 30, 2020 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | |

| Restricted cash | - | 311 | 2 |
- | 302 | 2 |
| Trade and other receivable | 15 | 728 | 69 | 15 | 701 | 21 |
| Financial instruments – liabilities | ||||||
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | 156 | 3,937 | 157 | 102 | 3,367 | 195 |
| Lease liabilities | - | - | 69 |
- | - | 78 |
| Borrowings | - | - | 30 |
- | - | 29 |
The Company has not hedged any of its foreign currency risks.
Based on the above net exposures as at September 30, 2020 and assuming that all other variables remain constant, a 5% depreciation or appreciation of the RM against the US dollar would result in an increase/decrease of approximately $0.13 million (three months ended September 30, 2019: $0.10 million) in the Company’s net income, a 5% depreciation or appreciation of the CAD against US dollar would result in an increase/decrease of approximately $0.01 million (three months ended September 30, 2019: increase/decrease $0.06 million) in net income and a 5% depreciation or appreciation of the AUD against the US dollar would result in a decrease/increase of approximately $0.01 million (three months ended September 30, 2019: increase/decrease $0.01 million) in net income.
Price risk
Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign currency risk. The Company has not hedged any of its commodity price risks.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. Generally, the Company’s interest income will be reduced during sustained periods of lower interest rates as higher yielding cash equivalents and short-term investments mature and the proceeds are reinvested at lower interest rates. The converse situation will have a positive impact on interest income.
To limit interest rate risk, the Company uses a restrictive investment policy. The fair value of the investments of financial instruments included in cash and cash equivalents is relatively unaffected by changes in short-term interest rates. The investments are generally held to maturity and changes in short-term interest rates do not have a material effect on the Company’s operations.
Credit risk
The Company’s credit risk on trade receivables is negligible.
The Company is exposed to concentration of credit risk with respect to cash and cash equivalents (Note 4). The maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying amounts at September 30, 2020. The amount of $4.50 million (June 30, 2020: $1.00 million) is held with a Malaysian financial institution, $0.11 million with an Australian financial institution (June 30, 2020: $0.15 million) and $9.33 million (June 30, 2020: $8.98 million) is held with Canadian financial institutions.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity risk through budgeting and forecasting cash flows to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet its short-term requirements for operations, business development and other contractual obligations. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are highly liquid and immediately available on demand for the Company’s use. The table below summarizes the maturity profile of the Company’s non-derivative financial liabilities as at September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020.

14. Deferred Revenue
As of September 30, 2020, deferred revenue of $4.97 million (June 30, 2020: $4.54 million) represents the balance of gold delivery obligations of 3,837 ounces (June 30, 2020 3,837 ounces).

Deferred revenue of $6.65 million was recorded, net of transaction costs. Upon adoption of IFRS 15 on July 1, 2018, the transaction costs of $0.35 million were reclassified to deferred financing costs (Note 10) and amortized to cost of sales on a per ounce of gold delivered basis. The gold prepaid sale is guaranteed by the Company and its Malaysian subsidiary, Able Return Sdn Bhd (“ARSB”), and is secured by certain assets of the Company.
As at September 30, 2020, the Company has delivered 3,856 ounces (June 30, 2020: 3,856 ounces) of physical gold to CCM through ARSB as the Guarantor.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Selinsing gold production was suspended from March 18, 2020 to May 12, 2020 in compliance with the Movement Control Order (“MCO”) issued by the Malaysian government. Subsequent to May 12, 2020, production resumed gradually. Mining activities with blasting were not initiated until July 2020, when explosives supplier became available. Due to shortage of explosive supply and other factors, there was shortage of ore mined, which led to the ball mill operation stopped for short periods during the three months ended September 30, 2020.
Costs incurred during the production suspension and transition period to maintain normal production capacity were recorded under operation expenses, which comprised $0.03 million for maintaining idle capacity.

On October 19, 2020, the Company announced that it entered into a Joint Venture Arrangement (the “Transaction”) with Odyssey Energy Ltd (ASX: “ODY”, “Odyssey”, proposed to be renamed Odyssey Gold Ltd). After closing of the Transaction, Odyssey and Monument will jointly develop the Tuckanarra Gold Project through an unincorporated joint venture to advance the Tuckanarra Gold Project (“Tuckanarra”) located in the Murchison Goldfield.
Pursuant to the JV arrangement, the Company sells 80% of its interest in Tuckanarra to Odyssey for an aggregated consideration of AUD$5.00 million cash (or equivalent $3.58 million), retains a 1% net smelter return royalty over ODY’s percentage share, and a 20% interest in the Tuckanarra Project free carried until a decision to mine, provided preferentially ODY’s gold ore will be processed through Monument’s Burnakura gold plant subject to commercial terms.
The aggregated cash consideration of AUD$5.00 million consists of AUD$0.15 million deposit payable on signing of agreement, AUD$1.85 million payable on the completion of the Transaction, AUD$2.00 million payable within 6 months of the completion of the Transaction, and AUD$1.00 million payable within 36 months of the completion of the Transaction.
The conditions to close the Transaction include regulatory approval, due diligence, capital raising, and shareholder approval. The completion of the Transaction is projected by December 9, 2020. The cash proceeds will be used for Murchison Gold Projects development and working capital.
Subsequent to the three months ended September 30, 2020, the AUD$0.15 million deposit has been received under an escrow account and due diligence has been completed with full satisfaction by Odyssey.
