Three Bears Aircore Drilling

Aircore drilling at The Three Bears prospect was extended to the south by drilling a further 44 holes for 1,678 metres with an average depth of 38 metres (refer WML ASX Announcement 18 December 2020). Figure 2 shows a 3D layout of all drilling completed at Three Bears with the holes of the most recent program outlined. Drilling at Three Bears now covers a north-south extent of approximately seven kilometres with anomalous gold values recorded over the entire zone.

Lang’s Find

A maiden aircore drilling program of 42 holes for 790 metres averaging a depth of 17 metres was completed at Lang’s Find. Access was severely impacted by rougher than expected ground conditions meaning the full program designed to comprise 50 holes for 2000m could not be completed.

Contemporaneously 17 rock chip samples were collected with best results of 9.15 g/t, 7.54 g/t and 6.63 g/t gold in quartz veins within mafic rocks (Figure 4) (refer WML ASX Announcement 18 December 2020).

Chapman’s Reward

A maiden RC drilling program of 17 holes for 1,673 metres averaging a depth of 98.4 metres was completed at Chapman’s Reward (refer WML ASX Announcement 18 December 2020). Hole locations are shown as green diamonds in Figure 5. The drilling was designed to test beneath historic gold workings which are coincident with a contact zone between mafic schist and granitic rocks.

Encouraging, intersections from the drilling include:

  • 10m at 0.34 g/t Au from 10m, including 1m at 2.44 g/t Au

  • 9m at 0.60 g/t Au from 65m, including 5m at 1.00 g/t Au

  • 4m at 0.47 g/t Au from 14m

For the HALF-YEAR ended 31 DECEMBER 2020

CONDENSED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Preparation and Statement of Compliance

The Financial Report is a general purpose Financial Report for half-year reporting period 31 December 2020, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standard 134 Interim Financial Reporting . This interim financial report is intended to provide users with an update on the latest annual financial statements of Woomera Mining Limited and its controlled entities (referred to as the "consolidated group" or "group"). As such, it does not contain information that represents relatively insignificant changes occurring during the half-year within the Group. It is therefore recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2020, together with any public announcements made during the following half-year.

The Group is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards. The presentation currency of the Group is Australian dollars.

The same accounting policies and methods of computation have been followed in this interim financial report as were applied in the most recent annual financial statements with the exception of those outlined in note 3.

2. Going concern

The financial statements have been compiled on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuation of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. This includes the realisation of capitalised expenditure of $4,632,348.

The Group incurred a net loss after income tax of $903,056 for the half-year ended 31 December 2020 (2019: net loss after income tax of $429,298) and net operating cash outflows of $487,354 (2019: $229,233).

The Group’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent on raising additional capital and/or the successful exploration and subsequent exploitation of its areas of interest through sale or development. The matters set out above indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary if the consolidated entity is unable to continue as a going concern.

The company is currently undertaking activities to increase its current cash position. These include the applying for a R&D Claim on the 2020 ITR (the amount yet to be determined), and the Company has the capacity to raise up to 25% of its current shares on issue if required through a share placement.

Accordingly, the Directors believe there are sufficient funds to meet the Group’s working capital requirements at the date of this report.

3. New, Revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

The Group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. The adoption of these accounting standards and interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the company.

Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. The Group does not expect these new standards and interpretations to have a material impact on initial adoption.

9. Share-based payments

On 2 December 2020, the Board issued incentive sign on options to Mr Ian Gordon and Mr David Richards comprising 10,000,000 unlisted options each, with an exercise price of $0.05 and expiring on 31 December 2022. The options were issued for nil consideration and with no vesting conditions, but were issued to the executives (or their nominees) to increase goal congruence between executives and shareholders.

The fair value of options at grant date were measured using the Black Scholes option valuation methodology. The inputs used in the valuation are as follows:

Grant Date Expiry Date
Share Price
at Grant
Date
Exercise Price Expected
Volatility
Risk-free
Interest
Rate
Fair Value at
Grant Date
02-Dec-20 31-Dec-22
$0.027
$0.05 115% 1.00% $0.0127

Historical volatility of a group of comparable companies has been the basis of determining expected share price volatility, as it is assumed that this is indicative of future movements. No adjustment has been made to the life of the option based on no past history regarding expected exercise or any variation of the expiry date. Accordingly, the expected life of the options has been taken to the full period of time from grant date to expiry date, which may fail to eventuate in the future.

10. Events after Balance Date

On 11 February 2021, the Board advised of a Strategic Review of its Lithium Projects.

On 12 February 2021, Woomera released Mt Venn JV Update - Chapman's Reward RC Drilling Results.

11. Interests in Subsidiaries

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF WOOMERA MINING LIMITED

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

Conclusion

We have reviewed the half-year financial report of Woomera Mining Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the halfyear ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the accompanying half-year financial report of the Group does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • (i) Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and of its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • (ii) Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Basis for conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity . Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to the audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.

Material uncertainty relating to going concern

We draw attention to Note 2 in the financial report which describes the events and/or conditions which give rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the Group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.

BDO Audit (SA) Pty Ltd ABN 33 161 379 086 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO (Australia) Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee. BDO Audit (SA) Pty Ltd and BDO (Australia) Ltd are members of BDO International Ltd, a UK company limited by guarantee, and form part of the international BDO network of independent member firms. Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.

Responsibility of the directors for the financial report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibility for the review of the financial report

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
