REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Definitive Feasibility Study
On 30 June 2020 the Company announced the results of the Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”) to re-start production at its Davyhurst Gold Project, located 120 kilometres north-west of Kalgoorlie within the eastern goldfields of Western Australia (“Davyhurst” or “Project”).
Underpinned by pre-existing infrastructure, including a conventional CIP process plant, the DFS confirms that Ora Banda can undertake a rapid and low-capital path to achieving sustainable gold production at Davyhurst. Ore will be delivered to the processing plant from a combination of open pit and underground mines all located within a 50 kilometre radius. The study demonstrates that the Project is expected to generate strong cash flows and financial returns over a 5.2-year mine life, with average estimated pre-tax annual free cash flows of $33.6 million ($68.8 million at A$2,550/oz), following a 14 month (seven month at $2,550/oz) payback period. Pre-development activities commenced on publication of the DFS and to date have been focussed on the refurbishment of camp facilities, planning for the Davyhurst plant remedial works program and early planning works for mine development at both Riverina open pit and Golden Eagle underground mines. Plant commissioning is expected to commence in Q4, CY20 with first gold pour targeted for Q1, CY21.
The DFS declared JORC (2012) Probable Ore Reserves for the Davyhurst Project is 6.1 Mt @ 2.4 g/t Au for 460,000 ounces at 30 June 2020. This includes a maiden JORC (2012) Probable Ore Reserves for Waihi open pit (1.5 Mt @ 2.3 g/t Au for 108,000 ounces of contained gold) and Callion open pit (0.24 Mt @ 2.6 g/t Au for 21,000 ounces of contained gold).
Note: the Review of Operations makes numerous references to individual Mineral Resource and Ore Reserves, the full detail of which is contained within the Annual Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve Statement on page 39 of this report.
Base Case Provides Strong Economic Returns
DFS base case estimates for the Project using a A$2,100/oz gold price show a pre-tax, free cashflow of $175 million over a 5.2-year mine life with life of mine (“LOM”) average annual gold production of 81koz at a C1 cost of A$1,427/oz and all-in sustaining costs (“AISC”) of A$1,566/oz.
The table below shows key DFS metrics for both Base (A$2,100/oz) and Spot (A$2,550/oz) gold prices.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Exploration & Resource Drilling Operations
The Company has continued to undertake drilling programs across its highly prospective 1,350km[2] landholding, covering 200 kilometres of strike length of prospective greenstone belts, focussing on:
-
Resource definition drilling;
-
Follow up drilling programs on near-mine prospects, including Riverina South;
-
Exploration drilling on regional targets, for which Ora Banda has identified a number of high priority prospects.
Resource Definition Drilling Overview
Drilling operations at Davyhurst continued during the year with the completion of 40,197 reverse circulation drill metres and 11,696 diamond metres for a combined total of 51,893 drill metres.
As part of the DFS process the Company has remained focussed on fully evaluating both the technical and economic viability of five advanced projects, all of which are well-understood geologically and are relatively close to the Davyhurst processing plant.
Mineral resource increases at Riverina, Waihi, Callion and Golden Eagle delivered an uplift in the Company’s Mineral Resource statement as at 30 June 2020 to 23.7Mt @ 2.8g/t for 2.1 million ounces of contained gold, up from 1.8 million ounces, with further updates pending. The Company’s Reserve position for the Davyhurst Gold Project increased to 6.1Mt @ 2.4g/t Au for 460,000 ounces, up from 150,000 ounces
The primary objective of the drilling programs was to deliver upgraded mineral resources and reserves into the DFS. The drilling also aims to quantify the technical aspects of each of the deposits, which included environmental, metallurgical and geotechnical input parameters. The intensive drilling programs progressed well during the year.
The six targeted deposits include:
-
Riverina;
-
Waihi;
-
Callion;
-
Missouri;
-
Sand King; and
-
Golden Eagle.
Riverina
An update to the open pit and underground Mineral Resources for Riverina resulted in an increase of 57% (117,000 ounces) to 3.7Mt @ 2.7g/t Au for 322,000 Au ounces. Riverina has an open pit reserve of 1.4Mt @ 1.8g/t Au for 81,000 ounces and is scheduled to be the first ore mined at the Davyhurst Gold Project.
Mining studies continue to evaluate the underground Resource component (728kt @ 5.9 g/t Au for 139,000 ounces) with a view to defining the economic viability of an underground mine that would follow on from the initial open pit mining event.
The updated underground Mineral Resource follows further modelling of Riverina Main Lode beneath the A$2,400 optimised open pit shell used to constrain the Riverina open pit resource. Historical underground mining of the Main Lode at Riverina was via a number of shafts that produced 99,500t @ 15.8 g/t Au for 50,490 ounces[1] .
Gold mineralisation plunges to the south and is hosted within two sub-parallel, sub-vertical shears separated by a distance of five to 15 metres. Drilling has demonstrated a strike of greater than one kilometre and at depths of up to 270 metres below surface.

The Riverina South prospect is a one kilometre long, highly prospective strike extension corridor immediately south of the main Riverina mining area and has been the focus of recent resource development and exploration works. The Phase 1 drilling program comprised 32 RC holes for 3,639 metres, reaching a maximum depth of 150 metres. This first pass wide spaced drilling was conducted on 80 metre line centres and commenced immediately south of the proposed Riverina open pit and continued to the British Lion prospect, one kilometre to the south.
A follow up drilling program (Phase 2) has been completed, infilling the drill spacing in prospective zones along the Riverina South trend to 40 metre line spacing. A maiden mineral resource estimate for the area will follow.

Golden Eagle
The Golden Eagle deposit is located two kilometres from the Davyhurst processing plant. The existing Golden Eagle Resource has been upgraded to 393,000 tonnes at 3.9 g/t Au for 49,000 ounces of contained gold reflecting the potential to mine this deposit via conventional underground mining methods. This includes an Indicated Resource of 247,000 tonnes also at a substantially higher grade of 4.1 g/t Au for 33,000 ounces of contained gold.
The underground Ore Reserve for Golden Eagle was declared as part of the DFS and totalled 130,000 tonnes @ 3.8g/t for 16,000 ounces.
The most recent phase of underground mining operations at Golden Eagle commenced in August 2017 and was subsequently suspended in August 2018. Approximately 2,100 metres of underground development was completed and 25,000t of ore at a grade of 3.4 g/t Au was mined from production stopes during this period. Collectively, ore won from development and production areas was 70,150t at a grade of 2.9 g/t Au for 6,640 contained ounces of gold.
As a result of these activities, the mine is well established with capital decline development approaching 150 vertical metres (319mRL) below the surface and 85 metres below the portal. Ore development is well established on four levels (395, 375, 355 & 335), with stope production well established (or complete) on three (395, 375 & 355).
Between December 2019 and March 2020, eight RC holes with diamond tails were completed (2,998 metres) along strike to the north of the Golden Eagle resource, targeting down-plunge extensions of the Golden Eagle underground mine. The northern-most line of three drill holes was approximately 100 metres north of the Golden Eagle resource. Significant results received from this program include: 5.6m @ 3.2 g/t Au from 207.4m (GEDD20001/Footwall Lode), 2m @ 6.5 g/t Au from 250m (GEDD19004/Footwall Lode), 2.3m @ 7.5 g/t Au from 343.2m (GEDD19006/Main Lode) and 2.1m @ 12.9 g/t Au from 350.9m (GEDD19006/Footwall Lode). Mineralisation remains open to the north.

Siberia
Located approximately 37 kilometres from the Davyhurst processing plant, the Siberia Project incorporates both the Sand King and Missouri open pits. A 12-hole infill drill program (1,886 metres of diamond drilling) was completed, 11 holes at Sand King and one hole at Missouri. The program was designed to infill resource areas below the base of the existing open pit.
Missouri is a high priority mining target at the Davyhurst Gold Project, with mining scheduled to commence early in CY2021. This will be the third mining operation to commence and will be mined in conjunction with Riverina and Golden Eagle. The Missouri deposit has a current Mineral Resource of 2.1Mt @ 3.4 g/t Au for 227,000 ounces and an open pit Mining Reserve of 1.5Mt @ 2.6 g/t Au for 130,000 ounces Au.
The Sand King deposit has a current Mineral Resource of 2.52Mt @ 3.5 g/t Au for 286,000 ounces and an open pit Mining Reserve estimate of 1.3Mt @ 2.6 g/t Au for 110,000 ounces Au.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Waihi
Waihi is a well-established mining centre located three kilometres to the west of Ora Banda’s processing plant and will provide additional open pit production by way of a significant open pit cut back.
The Waihi Complex comprises the historical Waihi, Homeward Bound and Golden Pole deposits. Following an extensive resource drilling program completed in January 2020, the Mineral Resource Estimate was updated to a published mineral resource of 2.46Mt @ 2.6g/t Au for 206,000 ounces. This represented a 190% increase over the previously reported resource of 0.9Mt @ 2.4g/t Au for 71,000 ounces.
The DFS includes the maiden JORC (2012) Probable Ore Reserves for Waihi open pit of 1.5 Mt @ 2.3 g/t Au for 108,000 ounces of contained gold.
Phase 1 of the Waihi resource definition infill drilling program focussed on delineating and upgrading an optimal open pit Mineral Resource on the Waihi and Homeward Bound lines of lode. Additional drilling targeted open pit extensions to the north and south of the existing open pit, and also the potential for underground resource extensions at depth.

Figure 7 Waihi Area Location Plan
Callion
Located approximately 13 kilometres from the Davyhurst processing plant, the existing Callion open pit is approximately 650 metres long and 40 metres deep, with the underground workings extending off the southern end of the pit to a vertical depth of 220 metres below surface.
The total upgraded Callion Mineral Resource (Indicated and Inferred) increased to 680,000 t @ 4.9 g/t Au for 107,000 ounces Au. A Maiden Underground Mineral Resource (Indicated and Inferred) was declared at Callion totalling 411,000 t @ 5.8 g/t Au for 77,000 oz Au. This complemented the recently announced open pit resource 269,000 t @ 3.5 g/t Au for 30,000 oz Au. Mineralisation remains open down plunge of the known resource areas. Strong potential remains for further resource growth with additional drilling.
Development plans for the Callion deposit include an open pit cut back and re-establishing access to existing underground mine workings to extract a number of high-grade zones that remain within the historical mine and the development of new high-grade areas below the existing mine workings.

REGIONAL EXPLORATION
Regional exploration continued throughout the year, with all minimum expenditure commitments met.
The exploration focus has been on the development of a coherent exploration program for the coming 12 months and continuation of the ranking and target definition for all prospects within the Company’s extensive project area. Exploration RC (6,513 metres), Aircore (3,448 metres), Auger (1,091 holes) and diamond (313.9 metres) drilling was undertaken on several prospects throughout the Davyhurst Gold Project. Field mapping, surface sampling and pXRF analyses were also routinely undertaken.
Lady Ida Project
The Flame prospect was first defined by surface (auger) geochemical anomaly which was tested by RAB drilling in 2005. This drilling returned an anomalous intersection of 3m @ 1.27g/t from SRB3049. The prospect is interpreted to lie on the same mineralised trend as the Golden Lode deposit. To date, this trend has been under explored.
The Flame prospect has only limited shallow drilling in the area. The initial RC program consisted of two holes on the same section line as SRB3049. Drilling intersected a sequence of fine grained foliated ultramafics with a wide zone of quartz veining and alteration. A number of significant intercepts were returned from this zone including 2.0m @ 19.22 g/t Au, 9.0m @ 5.53g/t Au and 3.0m @ 8.19 g/t Au (at a 0.5g/t lower cut). This entire mineralised zone bulks out to 25m @ 4.64g/t Au if a lower cut off of 0.2g/t is applied.
Please refer to ASX announcement dated 20 May 2020 for more information. Further follow-up work is planned.

Mulline Project (Young Australian)
The Young Australian prospect is situated in the central part of the Mulline gold corridor, in the northern part of Ora Banda’s Davyhurst Gold Project. The Mulline corridor is a north trending approximately 16 km long x 2.5 km wide zone with a high concentration of the historic shafts, old workings and more recent shallow laterite pits.
Drilling at Young Australian on two fences of holes 400 metres apart intersected multiple zones of quartz-sulphide veining accompanied by biotite-chlorite-sulphide alteration. in a moderate east dipping structure within an altered basalt. Best results returned include 4m @ 6.18 g/t Au from 36m, 4m @ 10.78 g/t Au from 48m, 8m @ 1.09 g/t Au from 44m, and 4m @ 3.82 g/t Au from 137m.
The mineralised zone continues over 350 metres south of the current drilling as identified by historic RAB drill holes MERB232 7m @ 2.3 g/t Au from 38m and RC hole FTRC003, 5m @ 7.52 g/t Au from 38m.

Capital Structure
As discussed above, during the year ended 30 June 2020 the Company issued 100 million ordinary shares through two tranches at a price of $0.185 per share, raising $18.5 million before capital raising costs of $0.83 million.
Additionally, 4,565,000 ordinary shares were issued on the exercise of unlisted vested options at a nil exercise price.
A total of 5,581,071 unlisted options were issued during the year ended 30 June 2020, as follows:
-

A total of 50% of the options will vest if the Company’s performance relative to the peer group is at the 50th percentile, while 100% of the options will vest if the Company’s performance relative to the peer group is at the 75th percentile. The vesting of the options between the 50th and the 75th percentile will be 50% to 100% vesting based on a straight-line pro rata basis;
-
1,360,357 options are subject to a vesting condition based on the achievement of the Company’s performance metrics over the performance period 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020. The vesting criteria are 50% vesting based on the Company’s management response criteria, 40% vesting based on the Company’s physical and cost performance criteria and 10% based on the Company’s relative shareholder return performance criteria.
BUSINESS RISK
Following completion of a DFS, and the subsequent raising of funding required to implement the DFS, the Company’s primary business risk resides in execution of the DFS. Key challenges include risks associated with the re-start of mining and ore processing operations. To mitigate the risk, the Company has assembled teams of highly skilled and experienced management and operational personnel. Further, it has access to suitability qualified and experienced contractors and consultants. With these measures in place, the Company is confident its execution risk is sufficiently mitigated.
Since January 2020 the Group’s operations have been largely unaffected by COVID-19. The Company will continue to adapt and mitigate, as far as practicable, the risks the disease presents. Given the industry framework in which Ora Banda operates and the strong, debtfree balance sheet, Ora Banda will continue to actively pursue its business objectives, subject to the evolving and unforeseen impacts of COVID-19.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS
There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of Ora Banda Mining Limited during the year.
EVENTS AFTER BALANCE DATE
On 3 July 2020 the Company announced a $55 million equity capital raising comprising an institutional placement to raise approximately $40 million and a 1 for 9 Accelerated Non-Renounceable Entitlement Offer to raise approximately $15 million over two tranches. The first tranche was completed on 29 July 2020, and the second tranche was completed on 9 September 2020.
Apart from the above, no other matters have arisen since the end of the financial year that impact or are likely to impact the results of the Group in subsequent financial periods.

Board and Remuneration & Nomination Committee responsibility
The Remuneration & Nomination Committee is a subcommittee of the board. It assists the board to ensure that the Company develops and implements remuneration policies and practices that are appropriate for a company of the nature, size and standing of the Company.
The Remuneration & Nomination Committee is responsible for making recommendations to the board on:
-
Remuneration arrangements (including base pay, performance targets, bonuses, equity awards, superannuation, retirement rights, termination payments) for the Executive Director and Senior Executives;
-
Remuneration of Non-executive Directors; and
-
Establishment of employee incentive and equity-based plans and the number and terms of any incentives proposed to be issued to Executives pursuant to those plans, including any vesting criteria.
ORA BANDA MINING LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES ACN 100 038 266 ANNUAL REPORT 2020
27
Remuneration principles
The Company’s remuneration strategy and structure is reviewed by the board and the Remuneration & Nomination Committee for business appropriateness and market suitability on an ongoing basis. KMP are remunerated and rewarded in accordance with the Company’s remuneration policies (outlined in further detail below).
Engagement of remuneration consultants
During the year, the Company did not engage remuneration consultants to provide a “remuneration recommendation” (as defined in the Corporations Act 2001), however independent advice was received when the current remuneration framework was established. This advice was in respect of remuneration reporting and general advice in respect of market practice for long term incentive plans. In addition, the Remuneration & Nomination Committee benchmark KMP remuneration annually using external independent industry reports and data to ensure that remuneration levels are competitive and meet the objectives of the Company.
2019 AGM voting outcome and comments
The Company received more than 99% of votes in favour of adopting its Remuneration Report for the 2019 financial year.
4. FY20 KMP REMUNERATION
In determining KMP remuneration, the board aims to ensure that remuneration practices are:
-
Competitive and reasonable, enabling the Company to attract and retain high calibre talent;
-
Aligned to the Company’s strategic and business objectives and the creation of shareholder value;
-
Transparent and easily understood; and
-
Acceptable to shareholders.
The Company’s approach to remuneration ensures that remuneration is competitive, performance-focussed, clearly links appropriate reward with desired business performance, and is simple to administer and understand by Executives and shareholders. In line with the remuneration policy, remuneration levels are reviewed annually to ensure alignment to the market and the Company’s stated objectives.
The Company’s reward structure for Executives provides for a combination of fixed and variable pay with the following components:
-
Fixed remuneration in the form of base salary, superannuation and benefits;
-
Variable remuneration in the form of short-term incentives (“STI”) and long-term incentives (“LTI”).
In accordance with the Company’s objective to ensure that executive remuneration is aligned to Company performance, a portion of Executives’ remuneration is placed “at risk”. The relative proportion of target FY20 total remuneration packages split between the fixed and variable remuneration is shown below:
==> picture [483 x 63] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
Fixed Remuneration Target STI Target LTI
Executive (% of total remuneration) (% of total remuneration) (% of total remuneration)
Managing Director 40% 20% 40%
Senior Executives 40% 20% 40%
----- End of picture text -----
a. Fixed remuneration
Fixed remuneration is set at a level that is aligned to market benchmarks and reflective of Executives’ skills, experience, responsibilities and performance.
When positioning base pay, the Company presently aims to position aggregate fixed remuneration at approximately the 50th percentile of the industry benchmark AON McDonald Report (an independent, industry recognised report on the gold and mining industry). This is to ensure that the Company’s remuneration arrangements remain competitive against peer companies to assist with the retention and attraction of key talent.
Executive remuneration is benchmarked annually to ASX-listed companies of similar size (by market capitalisation), revenue base, employee numbers and complexity. Specific reference is also made to peer companies within the mining and exploration sectors.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
b. Short-term incentive (“STI”) arrangements
The purpose of the STI plan is to link the achievement of key Company targets with the remuneration received by those Executives charged with meeting the targets. The STI Plan is structured so that Executives have the opportunity to earn a cash and/or equity bonus if certain key performance indicators (“KPIs”) are achieved. The Company must report a surplus of net cash flow from operating activities for the applicable performance period for any cash STI to be paid.
Each year the Remuneration & Nomination Committee (“Committee”), in conjunction with the board, set KPI targets for Executives. Ordinarily, the KPIs would include measures relating to the Group and the individual, and include environmental, health & safety, financial, production, exploration, business development and company performance measures.
The maximum target STI opportunity for Executives is as follows:
==> picture [473 x 53] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
Executive Maximum STI Opportunity – Cash Maximum STI Opportunity – Equity
Managing Director 50% of fixed remuneration 75% of fixed remuneration
Senior Executives 50% of fixed remuneration 75% of fixed remuneration

FY20 Performance against STI measures
A summary of the KPI targets set for FY20 and their respective weightings is as follows:
==> picture [483 x 142] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
KPI Weighting Measure
Safety & Environment 6% Safety and environmental management effectiveness
Exploration & Resource Development 10% Execution and success of FY20 exploration strategy
Cost Management & Control 10% Costs for each cost centre against FY20 targets
Cash Flow Management & Control 6% Cash flow against FY20 targets
Feasibility Study Completion 8% Completion of Feasibility Study within required timeframes
Company Performance 10% RTSR performance against comparator group
Management Response 50% Management’s effectiveness in responding to issues arising during FY20
----- End of picture text -----
Table 1.1 STI Performance Targets
In assessing KMP performance against the KPI targets during the year, the Committee considered the following achievements against objectives set at the start of the year:
-
Completion of the Definitive Feasibility Study;
-
Achieving OH&S objectives;
-
Achieving environmental objectives;
-
Exceeding the targeted end-of-year cash balance;
-
Delivery of positive exploration results; and
-
Company’s relative total shareholder return (“RTSR”) performance against the comparator group.
Based on the above assessment, STI payments for FY20 to Executives were as follows:

c. Long-term incentive (“LTI”) arrangements
Participation in the LTI plan will take the form of a grant of incentives (being either performance rights and/or options) under the Company’s 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan (or such other similar plan in existence from time to time). The grant of incentives, including the terms attaching to the grant, will be determined annually by the board and shall be consistent with the rules of the 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan (or such other similar plan in existence from time to time). Typically, the vesting period for incentives granted under the LTI plan will be three years.
2020 Share-based payments

Of the issued KMP options above, 3,720,714 are subject to a vesting condition based on Relative Total Shareholder Return (“RTSR”), whereby the Company’s total shareholder return is measured relative to the returns of a peer group over the performance period 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2022. This performance condition was selected as the Committee seeks to benchmark performance against its peers and reward its KMP for outperforming comparable companies. The fair value of the RTSR options was estimated as at the date of grant using a Monte-Carlo simulation model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. These options will vest according to the following schedule:
| Company’s Performance Relative to Peer Group |
Percentage of Options Eligible to Vest |
ASX Comparator Group |
|---|---|---|
| Below 50th percentile | Nil | |
| 50th to 75th percentile | 50% to 100% on a straight-line pro rata | BC8; BDC; BGL; GOR; MML; PNR; PRU; RMS; RSG; SBM; SLR; TRY; WGX; WMX |
| 75th percentile | 100% |
The remaining 860,357 issued KMP options are subject to a vesting condition based on the achievement of Company performance metrics (“Other”) over the period 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020. The fair value of these options was estimated as at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing methodology taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. The options vested upon completion of the performance milestones as described in “Table 1.1: STI Performance Targets” above, resulting in 86.1% (740,767) of the options vesting and 13.9% (119,590) being forfeited.

e. Non-executive Directors’ Remuneration
The Company’s policy is to remunerate Non-executive Directors (“NEDs”) at market rates (for comparable companies) for time commitment and responsibilities. To align their interests with those of shareholders, NEDs are encouraged to hold shares in the Company. The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by shareholders and the fee structure is reviewed annually against fees paid to NEDs of comparable companies.
Payments reflect the demands that are made on and the responsibilities of NEDs. NEDs’ fees and payments are reviewed annually by the board. The Company’s constitution and ASX Listing Rules specify that the NEDs’ remuneration fee pool shall be determined from time to time at a general meeting of shareholders.
In accordance with current corporate governance practices, the structure for the remuneration of NEDs and Senior Executives is separate and distinct. Shareholders approve the maximum aggregate remuneration for NEDs. On 7 June 2019 shareholders approved the current limit of $850,000. The board determines the actual payments to directors. The remuneration of NEDs (inclusive of all committee fees and exclusive of superannuation) for the year ended 30 June 2020 have been set at $165,000 for the Chair and $110,000 for other NEDs. In accordance with the remuneration options structure outlined above, NEDs’ cash salaries were reduced to $107,250 for the Chair and $71,500 for other NEDs for a period of 12 months from 2 April 2019 to 1 April 2020.

This Ore Reserve was estimated from practical mining envelopes and the application of modifying factors for mining dilution and ore loss.
-
For the open pit Ore Reserve dilution skins were applied to the undiluted LUC Mineral Resource estimate at zero grade. The in-pit global dilution is estimated to be 29% at Sand King, 43% at Missouri, 22% at Riverina, 13% at Waihi and 23% at Callion all of which were applied at zero grade. The lower dilution at Riverina, Waihi and Callion reflecting the softer lode boundary and allows for inherent dilution within the lode wireframe. All Inferred Mineral Resources were considered as waste at zero grade.
-
The Open Pit Ore Reserve was estimated using incremental cut-off grades specific to location and weathering classification. They range from 0.54 g/t to 0.69 g/t Au and are based on a price of A$2,100 per ounce and include ore transport, processing, site overheads and selling costs and allow for process recovery specific to the location and domain and which range from 85% (Sand King fresh ore) to 95%.
-
Approximately 100,000 t at 1.8 g/t at Riverina was downgraded from Proved to Probable due to uncertainty at the time surrounding metallurgical recovery. Subsequent test work estimated the Riverina recoveries to be 90.1%, 97.6% and 94.3% for oxide, transition and fresh, respectively.
-
The underground Ore Reserve was estimated from practical mining envelopes derived from expanded wireframes to allow for unplanned dilution. A miscellaneous unplanned dilution factor of 5% at zero grade was also included. The global dilution factor was estimated to be 32% with an average grade of 0.77 g/t Au.
-
The underground Ore Reserve was estimated using stoping cut-off of 2.7 g/t Au which allows for ore drive development, stoping and downstream costs such as ore haulage, processing, site overheads and selling costs. An incremental cut-off grade of 0.7 g/t Au was applied to ore drive development and considers downstream costs only. Cut-off grades were derived from a base price of A$2,100 per ounce and allow for an assumed process recovery of 92%. Subsequent test work estimated the Golden Eagle fresh recovery to be 90.6%.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
Ora Banda Mining Limited (“Company”) and its subsidiaries (“Group”) are a for-profit group of companies incorporated and domiciled in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”). The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are described in the Directors’ Report.
The consolidated financial statements were approved by the board of directors on 25 September 2020. The consolidated 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 Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (“AASB”). The financial report has been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial assets and liabilities which are measured on a fair value basis. The consolidated financial report is presented in Australian dollars, which is the functional and presentation currency of the Company and its subsidiaries.
Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the consolidated financial statements and notes comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191 and in accordance with that Instrument, all financial information has been rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise stated.
(a) Changes in accounting policies and disclosures
New and amended standards and interpretations
The Group has not yet early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.
AASB 16 Leases
The Group applied AASB 16 Leases for the first time from 1 July 2019. A number of other new standards are also effective from 1 July 2019 but they do not have a material effect on the Group’s financial statements.
AASB 16 introduced a single, on-balance sheet accounting model for lessees. As a result, the Group, as a lessee, has recognised right-of-use assets representing its right to use the underlying assets and lease liabilities representing its obligation to make lease payments.
The Group adopted the new standard using the modified retrospective approach, where the lease liability is measured at the present value of future lease payments on the initial date of application, being 1 July 2019. The lease asset is measured as an amount equal to the lease liability. Under the transition method, prior period comparative financial statements are not required to be restated.
Leases
Previously, the Group determined at contract inception whether an arrangement was or contained a lease under AASB Interpretation 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease. The Group now assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease based on the new definition of a lease. Under AASB 16, a contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys a right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
On transition to AASB 16, the Group elected to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the assessment of which transactions are leases. It applied AASB 16 only to contracts that were previously identified as leases. Contracts that were not identified as leases under AASB 117 and AASB Interpretation 4 were not reassessed. Therefore, the definition of a lease under AASB 16 has been applied only to contracts entered into or changed on or after 1 July 2019.
At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease and non-lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. However, for leases of properties in which it is a lessee, the Group has elected not to separate non-lease components and will instead account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.
ORA BANDA MINING LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES ACN 100 038 266 ANNUAL REPORT 2020
49
The Group as Lessee
The Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of that contract. The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low value assets (as example certain office equipment). For these leases, the Group recognises the lease payments as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased assets are consumed.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by using the rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise:
-
Fixed lease payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable;
-
Variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date.
The Group presents lease liabilities as a separate line item in the consolidated statement of financial position. The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using the effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made. The interest expense is charged to profit or loss over the lease period to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
The Group remeasures the lease liability (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use asset) whenever:
-
The lease term has changed or there is a significant event or change in circumstances resulting in a change in the assessment of exercise of a purchase option, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate;
-
The lease payments change due to changes in an index or rate or a change in expected payment under a guaranteed residual value, in which cases the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using an unchanged discount rate (unless the lease payments change is due to a change in a floating interest rate, in which case a revised discount rate is used);
-
A lease contract is modified and the lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease, in which case the lease liability is remeasured based on the lease term of the modified lease by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate at the effective date of the modification.
Right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at or before the commencement day, less any lease incentives received and any initial direct costs. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter period of lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. If a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group expects to exercise a purchase option, the related right-of-use asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. The depreciation starts at the commencement date of the lease.
Right-of-use assets are presented as a separate line in the consolidated statement of financial position. The Group applies AASB 136 Impairment of Assets to determine whether a right-of-use asset is impaired and, if so, recognises the impairment loss in profit or loss.
The Group has applied judgement to determine the lease term for some lease contracts in which it is a lessee that include renewal options. The assessment of whether the Group is reasonably certain to exercise such options impacts the lease term, which significantly affects the amount of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets recognised.
Transition (Group as Lessee)
At transition, for leases classified as operating leases under AASB 117, lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the Group’s incremental borrowing rate as at 1 July 2019. Right-of-use assets are measured at an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments.
The Group used the following practical expedients when applying AASB 16 to leases previously classified as operating leases under AASB 117:
-
Applied the exemption not to recognise right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of lease term and leases of low value assets;
-
Excluded initial direct costs from measuring the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application; and
-
Used hindsight when determining the lease term if the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.
ORA BANDA MINING LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES ACN 100 038 266 ANNUAL REPORT 2020
50
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For leases classified as finance leases under AASB 117, the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset and the lease liability at 1 July 2019 were determined at the carrying amount of the lease asset and lease liability under AASB 117 immediately before that date.
The impact of initial application of AASB 16 at the 1 July 2019 transition date was the recognition of a right-of-use asset of $132,000 and a corresponding lease liability in the statement of financial position. For those lease arrangements where an interest rate has not been determined by the financier, an incremental borrowing rate is estimated to calculate the interest component and discount of the lease liabilities as at 1 July 2019. The Group’s incremental borrowing rate has been determined based on marketequivalent borrowing rates to finance assets of a similar nature. The Group’s incremental borrowing rate applied, on average, was 6% for those lease liabilities recorded on transition. This average rate has not changed as a result of new leases arranged during the period. Further disclosures are included in Notes 11 and 12.
IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments
IFRIC 23 became effective for the Group from 1 July 2019 and clarifies how the recognition and measurement requirements of IAS 12 Income Taxes are applied where there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. The Group has reviewed the accounting standard and has determined that there is no material impact.
(b) Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group. A list of controlled companies (subsidiaries) at year end is disclosed in Note 22.
The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies.
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
(c) Fair value measurement
A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value for both financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal or, in its absence, the most advantageous market to which the Group has access at that date. The fair value of a liability reflects its non-performance risk. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.
When measuring the fair value of an asset or liability, the Group uses observable market data as far as possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:
-
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (ie: as prices) or indirectly (ie: derived from prices);
-
Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement. The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.
(d) New Standards and Standards not yet Effective
The Company has adopted all new standards and pronouncements applicable to the reporting period. Other than the impact of the adoption of AASB 16 Leases, there was no other impact to the Company. There are no standards or pronouncements not yet effective, but to be adopted in future periods, which have been assessed to have an impact on the Company once adopted.
(e) Revenue recognition
Gold bullion sales
Under AASB 15, revenue is recognised when a customer obtains control of the goods or services. Determining the timing of the transfer of control requires judgement. With the sale of gold bullion, this occurs when physical bullion, from a contracted sale, is transferred from the Company’s to the buyer’s account. The Company’s sole customer is the Perth Mint. No sales were made during the reporting period.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses.
Judgements and estimates which are material to the financial report are found in the following notes:
-
Note 5: Income Tax – consideration to recognition of deferred tax assets;
-
Note 7: Trade Receivables – provision for expected credit losses on trade and other receivables;
-
Note 9: Exploration, Evaluation and Development Expenditure – consideration of impairment reversal indicators and recognition of impairment losses or reversals;
-
Note 9: Reserves and Resources – estimating reserves and resources;
-

Interest income comprises bank interest on funds invested and is recognised as it accrues, using the effective interest method. Finance expenses comprise interest expense on borrowings, unwinding of the discount on provisions and change in the value of investments measured at fair value through the profit and loss. All borrowing costs are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income using the effective interest method in the period in which they are incurred except borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction and production of a qualifying asset that necessarily takes a substantial period to get ready for its intended use or sale. In this case, borrowing costs are capitalised as part of the qualifying asset.

Based on the 30 June 2019 lodged Group income tax return and estimates for 30 June 2020, the Group has an unrecognised deferred tax asset of $84.20 million on carried forward tax losses of $280.67 million. Losses carried forward of $170.24 million as at 30 June 2019 are subject to the satisfaction of the same business test or the business continuity test, due to several continuity of ownership failures during the loss year periods. Losses incurred post 30 June 2016 are subject to the satisfaction of the continuity of ownership test.

Accounting policies
Income tax
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at balance date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at balance date.
Tax losses
Deferred tax assets are recognised for the carry-forward of unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available in the future against which unused tax losses can be utilised. The deductible carry-forward tax losses do not expire under current tax legislation. Deferred tax assets have not been recognised in respect of these items because it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the Group can utilise the benefits therefrom, detailed further in significant judgements below.
Tax consolidation
Ora Banda Mining Limited and its wholly owned Australian resident subsidiaries have formed a tax consolidated group with effect from 1 July 2002. Ora Banda Mining Limited is the head entity of the tax consolidated group.
Tax effect accounting by members of 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. The Group has applied the group allocation approach in determining the appropriate amount of current taxes and deferred taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group. The current and deferred tax amounts are measured in a systematic manner that is consistent with the broad principles in AASB 112 Income Taxes.
Significant judgements
Deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets, including those arising from unutilised tax losses, require the Group to assess the likelihood that it will generate sufficient taxable earnings in future periods, in order to utilise recognised deferred tax assets. Assumptions about the generation of future taxable profits depend on management’s estimates of future cash flows. These estimates of future taxable income are based on forecast cash flows from operations (which are impacted by production and sales volumes, commodity prices, reserves, operating costs, closure and rehabilitation costs, capital expenditure and other capital management transactions). To the extent that future cash flows and taxable income differ significantly from estimates, the ability of the Group to realise the net deferred tax assets could be impacted.
On 30 June 2020, the Group released a Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”) that outlined the path to re-starting production at its Davyhurst Gold Project. Plant commissioning is expected to commence in Q4, CY20 with first gold production targeted for Q1, CY21.
Despite the DFS, the Group has assessed that a deferred tax asset for carried forward losses of $280.67 million as at 30 June 2020 should not be recognised given: (i) the care and maintenance status of the Davyhurst plant assets at balance date; (ii) further losses expected to be incurred in the lead up to the restart of production; and (iii) the Group’s history of losses, of which create uncertainty as to the extent to which the carried forward losses can and will be utilised.

Inventories include consumable stores, ore stockpiles, gold in circuit and finished goods (dore). Gold bullion, gold in circuit and ore stockpiles are physically measured or estimated and valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost represents the weighted average cost and includes direct purchase costs and an appropriate portion of fixed and variable production overhead expenditure, including depreciation and amortisation, incurred in converting materials into finished goods.
Net realisable value represents estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less any further costs expected to be incurred to completion and disposal.
Consumable stores are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Any provision for obsolescence is determined by reference to specific items of stock. A regular review is undertaken to determine the extent of any provision for obsolescence.

Accounting policies and significant judgements
Exploration and evaluation phase
Expenditure on areas of interest in the exploration and evaluation phase are those expenditures incurred in connection with the exploration for and evaluation of minerals resources before the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource are demonstrable. Exploration and evaluation phase assets include the costs of acquiring exploration licenses or exploration rights and the fair value (at acquisition date) of exploration and evaluation assets acquired. All other expenditure on areas of interest in the exploration and evaluation phase, including all expenditure incurred prior to securing legal rights to explore an area, is expensed as incurred.
Capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. An “area of interest” is an individual geological area which is considered to constitute a favourable environment for the presence of a mineral deposit or has been proved to contain such a deposit. These costs are carried forward only if they relate to an area of interest for which rights of tenure are current and where:
-
such costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation or from sale of the area; and
-
exploration and evaluation activities in the area have not, at balance date, reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable resources, and active and significant operations in, or relating to, this area are continuing.
A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward capitalised costs in relation to the area of interest. If capitalised costs do not meet the criteria noted above, they are written off in full against the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.
During the year, $4.81 million of costs incurred on areas of interest in the exploration and evaluation phase were expensed to the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income (2019: $1.33 million) as they did not meet the recognition criteria noted above. $1.97 million was paid to acquire access to land which the Group capitalised.
Exploration and evaluation assets are transferred to development phase assets once technical feasibility and commercial viability of an area of interest is demonstrable. At this stage, exploration and evaluation assets are tested for impairment, and any impairment loss is recognised, prior to being reclassified.
Impairment testing of exploration and evaluation assets
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability or facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
Exploration and evaluation assets are tested for impairment when any of the following facts and circumstances exist:
-
the term of exploration licence in the specific area of interest has expired during the reporting period or will expire in the near future, and is not expected to be renewed;
-
substantive expenditure on further exploration and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area are not budgeted or planned;
-
exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area have not led to the discovery of commercially viable quantities of mineral resource and the decision was made to discontinue such activities in the specific area; or
-
sufficient data exists to indicate that, although development in the specific area of interest is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development or by sale.
When a potential impairment is indicated, an assessment is performed for each cash generating unit which is no larger than the area of interest.
ORA BANDA MINING LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES ACN 100 038 266 ANNUAL REPORT 2020
57
Development phase assets
The Group capitalises expenditure on areas of interest in the development phase only where the following criteria are met:
-
The Group has right of tenure in the area of interest;
-
The expenditure is for the purpose of furthering an already proven mineral resource area; and
-
The expenditure provides future economic benefit by developing the underlying resources to further progress the asset towards commercial production.
Development phase assets are transferred to mine properties and mining assets when commercial production is achieved at the area of interest.
Impairment testing of assets in the development or production phase
The carrying amounts of assets in the development or production phase are reviewed at each balance date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value-in-use (“VIU”) and its fair value less costs of disposal (“FVLCD”). For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (“cash-generating unit”).
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.
Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each balance date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists and therefore should be reversed. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had initially been recognised. Impairment reversals are also recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.
Expenditure in the development phase are assessed in light of current economic conditions. The carrying values of these assets have been assessed for impairment or impairment reversal where respective indicators exist using a fair value less cost to sell technique. In previous periods, $7.31 million in impairment expense was recorded based on implied market values applied to the Group’s existing resource and reserve base at the date of impairment. The implied market values were calculated based on comparable transactions within Australia converted to a value per ounce and normalised for changes in gold prices since the date of the transactions observed. This technique is considered to use Level 3 inputs. During the current period, the Group observed the following changes to the key inputs as previously used in the fair value less cost to sell technique:
-
Increase in Group resources of 348,000 ounces, representing an increase of 20%;
-
Conversion of Group resources to reserves of 310,000 ounces, representing an increase of 207%; and
-
Increases in the gold price.
Based on these reversal indicators, the Group determined it was appropriate to reverse all prior period impairment charges recorded against capitalised balances in the development phase.
Recoverable amount
The Group has determined the recoverable amount of its mine development phase assets using a fair value less cost of disposal approach. The fair value estimates used to determine the recoverable amount are Level 3 fair value measurements, insofar as the estimates are derived from valuation techniques that include inputs that are not based on observable market data. In summary, an independent expert derived a dollar value per ounce from market transactions involving comparable companies for transactions up to August 2019. When the dollar value per ounce was applied to the Group’s updated resource estimates as at 30 June 2020, the recoverable amount totalled $47.9 million. This valuation approach is considered consistent with the approach taken by market participants. The Group carries its mine development phase assets at the lower of its recoverable amount and its cost less accumulated depreciation. As at 30 June 2020, the recoverable amount is in excess of cost less accumulated depreciation.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Exploration expenditure commitments
Exploration expenditure commitments represent tenement rentals and minimum spend requirements that are required to be met under the relevant legislation should the Group wish to retain tenure on all its current tenements (refer Note 18).
Mine properties and mining assets
Mine properties represent the acquisition cost and/or accumulated exploration, evaluation and development expenditure in respect of areas of interest in which mining has commenced. When commercial production is achieved, capitalised costs in the development phase are transferred to mine properties, at which time it is amortised on a unit of production basis based on ounces mined over the total estimated reserves and resources related to this area of interest.
Significant factors considered in determining the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the project are the completion of a feasibility study, the existence of sufficient resources to proceed with development and approval by the board of directors to proceed with development of the project.
Underground development expenditure incurred in respect of mine development after the commencement of production is carried forward as part of mine development only when substantial future economic benefits are expected, otherwise this expenditure is expensed as incurred.
Reserves and resources
Resources are estimates of the amount of gold product that can be economically extracted from the Group’s mine properties. In order to calculate resources, estimates and assumptions are required about a range of geological, technical and economic factors, including quantities, grades, production techniques, recovery rates, production costs, future capital requirements, short and long term commodity prices and exchange rates.
Estimating the quantity and/or grade of resources requires the size, shape and depth of ore bodies to be determined by analysing geological data. This process may require complex and difficult geological judgments and calculations to interpret the data.
The Group determines and reports ore resources under the Australian Code of Reporting for Mineral Resource and Ore Reserves (2004 and 2012), known as the JORC Code. The JORC Code requires the use of reasonable assumptions to calculate resources. Due to the fact that economic assumptions used to estimate resources change from period to period, and geological data is generated during the course of operations, estimates of resources may change from period to period. Changes in reported resources may affect the Group’s financial results and financial position in a number of ways, including:
-
asset carrying values may be impacted due to changes in estimates of future cash flows;
-
amortisation charged in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income may change where such charges are calculated using the units of production basis;
-
decommissioning, site restoration and environmental provisions may change due to changes in estimated resources after expectations about the timing or costs of these activities change; and
-
recognition of deferred tax assets, including tax losses.

Accounting policies
All assets acquired, including property, plant and equipment, are initially recorded at their cost of acquisition being the fair value of the consideration provided plus incidental costs directly attributable to the acquisition.
Property, plant and equipment assets located on a mine site are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All such assets are depreciated over the estimated remaining economic life of the mine, using a units-ofproduction basis. The cost of certain items of property, plant and equipment has been determined with reference to its fair value, detailed in significant judgements below.
All other property, plant and equipment assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. These items are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the assets estimated useful life which is three to eight years. Depreciation commences from the time the asset is held ready for use.
Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located.
When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Impairment testing
Property, plant and equipment is evaluated annually, at 30 June, to determine whether there are any indications of impairment or any circumstances justifying the reversal of previously recognised impairment losses. Factors such as changes in assumptions in future commodity prices, exchange rates, production rates and input costs, are monitored to assess for indications of impairment or reversal of previously recognised impairments. If any such indications of impairment or impairment reversals exist, a formal estimate of the recoverable amount is performed. In assessing whether an impairment is required, the carrying value of the asset is compared with its recoverable amount, which is the higher of FVLCD and VIU.
As at 30 June 2020, it was assessed that there were no indicators of impairment nor indicators of impairment reversal pertaining to property, plant and equipment.

The Group makes full provision for the future cost of rehabilitating mine sites and related production facilities on a discounted basis on the development of mines or installation of those facilities.
The rehabilitation provision represents the present value of rehabilitation costs relating to mine sites. These provisions have been based on estimates provided by an external consultant. Key inclusions and pertinent matters underpinning the provision are:
-
Provision covers the four project areas, being Carnegie, Siberia, Mt Ida and Heron;
-
Project areas (apart from the Davyhurst gold project site) have undergone limited scale exploration activities and have been on care and maintenance;
-
Cost estimates for the four project areas, included actual mining contractor and equipment rates and average industry contracting rates;
-
Provision incorporates costs for the demolition and cartage of fixed infrastructure to the nearest nominated waste disposal area;
-
No allowance has been made for decommissioning of assets not owned by the Group but are located on Group owned leases;
-
Rehabilitation costs being incurred over a 5.5 year period;
-
10% (2019: 15%) contingency has been included in the provision calculation;
-
Allowance has been made within the contingency, for post-closure maintenance and reworking of environmental rehabilitation;
-
Discount rate applied of 0.48%, estimated based on yields of government risk-free bonds; and
-
Inflation rate of 2%, estimated based on federal government target rates for inflation.
Assumptions, which are based on the current economic environment, have been made which the Company believes are a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the future liability. These estimates are reviewed regularly to take into account any material changes to the assumptions. However, actual rehabilitation costs will ultimately depend upon future market prices for necessary decommissioning works required which will reflect market conditions at the relevant time.

Accounting policies
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at balance date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities for employee benefits for wages, salaries and annual leave represent present obligations resulting from employees’ services provided to balance date and are calculated at undiscounted amounts based on remuneration wage and salary rates that the Group expects to pay as at balance date including related on-costs.
Long-term employee benefits
The Group’s net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods plus related on costs. The benefit is discounted to determine its present value using a discount rate that equals the yield at balance date on Australian high-quality corporate bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Group’s obligations.
Rehabilitation costs
Mine rehabilitation costs will be incurred by the Group either while operating, or at the end of the operating life of, the Group’s facilities and mine properties. The Group assesses its mine rehabilitation provision at each balance date. The Group recognises a rehabilitation provision where it has a legal and constructive obligation as a result of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. The nature of these restoration activities includes dismantling and removing structures; rehabilitating mines and tailings dams; dismantling operating facilities; closing plant and waste sites; and restoring, reclaiming and revegetating affected areas.
The obligation generally arises when the asset is installed, or the ground/environment is disturbed at the mining operation’s location. When the liability is initially recognised, the present value of the estimated costs is capitalised by increasing the carrying amount of the related mining assets to the extent that it was incurred as a result of the development/construction of the mine.
Additional disturbances that arise due to further development/construction at the mine are recognised as additions or charges to the corresponding assets and rehabilitation liability when they occur.
Changes in the estimated timing of rehabilitation or changes to the estimated future costs are dealt with prospectively by recognising an adjustment to the rehabilitation liability and a corresponding adjustment to the asset to which it relates, if the initial estimate was originally recognised as part of an asset measured in accordance with AASB 116.
Rehabilitation provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a financing cost. The estimated costs of rehabilitation are reviewed annually and adjusted as appropriate for changes in legislation, technology or other circumstances.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Significant judgements
Provision for rehabilitation
Decommissioning and restoration costs are a normal consequence of mining and much of this expenditure is incurred at the end of a mine’s life. In determining an appropriate level of provision, consideration is given to the expected future costs to be incurred, the timing of these expected future costs (largely dependent on the life of the mine) and the estimated future level of inflation. The ultimate cost of decommissioning and restoration is uncertain, and costs can vary in response to many factors including changes to the relevant legal requirements, the emergence of new restoration techniques or experience at other mine sites. The expected timing of expenditure can also change, currently proposed to be 2026 (2019: 2025), for example in response to changes in reserves or to production rates. Changes to any of the estimates could result in significant changes to the level of provisioning required, which would in turn impact future financial results. At 30 June 2020, the provision of $19.1 million (30 June 2019: $16.6 million) represents the Company’s best estimate of the rehabilitation costs required.

21. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group’s principal financial assets comprise trade and other receivables and cash that arises directly from its operations. The Group’s principal financial liabilities comprise trade payables. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to manage cash flow and assist the Group in its daily operational requirements.
The Group is exposed to the following financial risks in respect to the financial instruments that it held at the end of the year:
-
Interest rate risk;
-
Liquidity risk; and
-
Credit risk.
The directors have overall responsibility for identifying and managing operational and financial risks.
(a) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates.
At balance date, the interest rate profile of the Group’s interest-bearing financial instruments was:

----- End of picture text -----
| Fixed rate instruments Lease liabilities Variable rate instruments Cash and cash equivalents |
392 - |
|---|---|
| 10,577 14,142 |
An increase/decrease of 1% in the interest rate applicable to the interest-bearing financial instruments at balance date would result in an increase/decrease in net loss of $102,000 for the year ended 30 June 2020 (2019: an increase/decrease in net profit of $141,000). This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant.
(b) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves from funds generated from operations and by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows.
Maturity analysis
The tables below represent the undiscounted contractual settlement terms for financial instruments and management’s expectation for settlement of maturities.

(c) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Group is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade and other receivables). Exposure to credit risk associated with its financing activities arising from deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments is not considered to be significant.
Trade and other receivables
Customer credit risk is managed subject to the Group’s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. The Group trades only with recognised creditworthy third parties. The Group’s only customer is Perth Mint and at 30 June 2020, the exposure to credit risk associated with this customer and trade receivables is not significant. The Group has other receivables that have been specifically identified as being of significant risk with respect to collection and therefore are included, in full, in the expected credit loss.
An impairment analysis is performed at each balance date using a provision matrix to measure expected credit losses. The provision rates are based on days past due for groupings of various customer segments with similar loss pattern. The calculation reflects the probability weighted outcome, the time value of money and reasonable and supportable information that is available at balance date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.
The maximum exposure to credit risk for trade and other receivables at the balance date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosed in Note 7. The Group does not hold collateral as security.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Group limits its exposure to credit risk by only investing in liquid securities and only with major Australian financial institutions.
(d) Fair values versus carrying values
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and trade and other payables is considered to be a fair approximation of their fair values.

Accounting policies
Basic EPS is calculated as profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares.
Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, including options granted to employees.
26. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
Equity-settled share-based payments are provided to directors, employees, consultants and other advisors. The issue to each individual director, employees, consultant or advisor is controlled by the board and ASX Listing Rules. Terms and conditions of the payments are determined by the board, subject to approval where required.
During the year ended 30 June 2020, a share-based payment expense of $1,663,000 (30 June 2019: $145,000) was recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income and $Nil (30 June 2019: $242,000) was recognised as a share-based payment expense that was offset against share capital.

Accounting policies
The grant date fair value of equity-settled share-based payment awards granted to employees is generally recognised as an expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting period of the awards. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognised is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant date fair value of the sharebased payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.
27. EVENTS AFTER BALANCE DATE
On 3 July 2020 the Company announced a $55 million equity capital raising comprising an institutional placement to raise approximately $40 million and a 1 for 9 Accelerated Non-Renounceable Entitlement Offer to raise approximately $15 million over two tranches. The first tranche was completed on 29 July 2020, and the second tranche was completed on 9 September 2020.
Apart from the above, no other matters have arisen since the end of the financial year that impact or are likely to impact the results of the Group in subsequent financial periods.

Independent Auditor’s Report
To the shareholders of Ora Banda Mining Limited
Report on the audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the Financial Report of Ora Banda Mining Limited (the Company).
In our opinion, the accompanying Financial Report of the Company is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
-
giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2020 and of its financial performance for the year ended on that date; and
-
complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
The Financial Report comprises:
-
Consolidated Statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020;
-
Consolidated Statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, Consolidated Statement of changes in equity, and Consolidated Statement of cash flows for the year then ended;
-
Notes including a summary of significant accounting policies; and
-
Directors’ Declaration.
The Group consists of the Company and the entities it controlled at the year-end or from time to time during the financial year.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards . We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
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 (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the Financial Report in Australia. We have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
Key Audit Matters
The Key Audit Matter we identified is development phase assets.
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.
This matter was 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 this matter.

|---|---|
| Refer to Note 9 to the Financial Report | |
| The key audit matter | How the matter was addressed in our audit |
| Existence, accuracy and valuation of expenditure capitalised as development phase assets was considered to be a key audit matter. Assets in the development phase of $42.869 million represent 60% of total assets as at 30 June 2020. During the period, the Group capitalised $8.554 million of development phase expenditure. In response to increases in the Group’s mineral resource estimates and the market price of gold, the Group reversed impairment charges recorded in previous periods of $7.311 million. Development phase assets are to be recorded using AASB 116_Property, Plant and Equipment_. The standard prescribes that an expenditure shall be recognised as an asset if, and only if: a) it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the entity; and b) the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The Group uses judgements and estimates in: • the design and application of its accounting policies to identify and allocate expenditure between operating loss and assets, using AASB 116; and • identifying impairment reversal indicators and determining the quantum of any reversal. The existence of management judgments and estimates and the significance of the balance in the Group’s Statement of Financial Position has resulted in our conclusion that this is a key audit matter. |
Our procedures included: • We assessed the Group’s accounting policy by comparing it to AASB 116; • On a sample basis, we tested the allocation of expenditure to development phase assets by inspecting source documents and examining evidence underlying the allocation for consistency with the features contained in AASB 116; • We evaluated the Group’s assertion as to the presence of impairment reversal indicators. We compared the indicators to those in the accounting standards. We challenged the identification of the key indicators, being increased mineral resource estimates and increases to the gold price, against published consensus market prices and the Group’s mineral resource estimation from its publically available Definitive Feasibility Study; • We challenged the quantum of the impairment reversal by analysing the key indicators mentioned previously, as to their impact on the calculation of the recoverable amount. In addition, we evaluated the market comparable transactions used by the Group in the calculation of the recoverable amount against our industry knowledge; • We assessed the competence, objectivity and scope of the Group’s internal expert involved in the estimation process of mineral resources; • We checked features of the Definitive Feasibility Study prepared by the expert underpinning the calculation of the recoverable amount for consistency with our knowledge of the areas of interest, and the authority of the report; and • We evaluated the adequacy of disclosures in the financial report against the requirements of the accounting standards. |

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
==> picture [63 x 46] intentionally omitted <==
Other Information
Other Information is financial and non-financial information in Ora Banda Mining Limited’s annual reporting which is provided in addition to the Financial Report and the Auditor’s Report. The Directors are responsible for the Other Information.
Our opinion on the Financial Report does not cover the Other Information and, accordingly, we do not and will not express an audit opinion or any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of the Remuneration Report and our related assurance opinion.
In connection with our audit of the Financial Report, our responsibility is to read the Other Information. In doing so, we 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.
We are required to report if we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this Other Information, and based on the work we have performed on the Other Information that we obtained prior to the date of this Auditor’s Report we have nothing to report.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report
The Directors are responsible for:
-
preparing the Financial Report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001
-
implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of a Financial Report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error
-
assessing the Group and Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and whether the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate. This includes disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate the Group and Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report
Our objective is:
-
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. They 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 the Financial Report.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at: https://www.auasb.gov.au/admin/file/content102/c3/ar1_2020.pdf. This description forms part of our Auditor’s Report.
