REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Grace Project – Paterson Province, Western Australia

The Grace Project is located in the highly prospective Paterson Range province, home to the world class gold and copper Telfer Mine, operated by Newcrest Mining Ltd located 25km to the north east. The Paterson is also host to a number of other additional major discoveries including Rio Tinto’s Winu copper project and the Havieron gold and copper discovery, a joint venture with Newcrest and AIM listed Greatland Gold.

Figure 2: Grace Project Tenement Map

Historically there has been significant exploration activity across the Grace Project area, with a focus on the ground covered by the prospecting licences held by the Company. Work was predominantly completed by Newmont Australia and successor company Newcrest Mining. Newcrest first became involved in the area during the 1970s, before relinquishing the project area in 2015. The area was subsequently licenced to the Company in 2017.

Extensive work was completed by Newmont/Newcrest over that period including desktop studies, prospectivity review and exploration targeting followed by field reconnaissance, rock-chip sampling, soil geochemistry, extensive drilling programmes with diamond, RC, RAB and aircore. In addition, the area was subject to significant aeromagnetics and airborne gravity survey. All this data is available on open file which the company has accessed and has compiled into a comprehensive exploration data base.

An ongoing review of all the historical geological, geophysical and assay data, as well as the data files used in previously announced resource calculations is underway. The planning of an exploration infill drilling programme designed to upgrade and expand the previously announced resources including converting known mineralisation contained in the exploration target area has been put on hold whilst the Company’s geophysical consultants conduct a thorough review of the historical geophysical data which includes Induced Polarisation (IP) surveys carried out by previous operators.

It is anticipated that a new IP survey will be conducted over the Bemm and Grace Shear Zones before the close of the current field season when on ground temperatures make field work difficult. This new data will allow for a refined interpretation of the mineralised zones and the assist with the targeting of the drilling programme.

During the year, a review of the Grace Gold Copper Project Geophysics was announced to the market (PSL ASX Ann 8 May 2020) and subsequent to 30 June 2020, results of ongoing geophysical studies including 3D Aeromagnetic Modelling were announced (PSL ASX Ann 23 July 2020).

Geophysics - Aeromagnetics

High resolution aeromagnetic survey data acquired at 100m survey line spacing show a strong NW-SE magnetic anomaly high trend following the southern side of the Grace and Bemm shear zone, and just to the south of this magnetic anomaly trend is another parallel magnetic anomaly trend with very strong magnetic anomalism, with both anomaly trends located entirely within the Company’s tenements (Figure 4). The magnetic anomaly patterns suggest that hydrothermal magnetite and/or pyrrhotite have altered the dolomitic siltstone host rocks, similar to the Havieron gold deposit to the northeast, or have formed skarn contact zones related to underlying intrusive igneous rocks, similar to the O’Callaghans tungsten and base metal deposit located between Grace and Telfer, or are related to dolerite sills usually found lower down in the stratigraphic sequence. These magnetic anomaly zones have not yet been systematically drilled deep enough to fully assess the sources of the magnetic anomalies to see if they are related to associated zones of gold and copper mineralisation. The potential sources for the magnetic anomalies could be hydrothermal magnetite and pyrrhotite alteration associated with gold-copper mineralisation at depth, and 3D inversion modelling has been used to estimate depth to the magnetic source bodies for planning deep drilling into these target bodies by the Company.

Figure 5: Grace Prospect Interpreted Regional Shears, Historic Drill Collars & IP Lines Overlaying Aeromagnetics.Grace magnetic anomaly image (TMI reduced to the magnetic pole and NE sun angle) showing a moderate strength anomaly trend following the Grace-Bemms shear zone in the north and a much stronger intensity magnetic anomaly trend in the south and running parallel to the Grace-Bemm shear zone trend (dashed black outlines). These large and intense magnetic anomaly zones sit entirely within the Company’s tenements (yellow outline), they have not yet been systematically tested by enough deep enough drilling, and could be related to hydrothermal alteration, skarn contacts formed between carbonate host rocks and igneous intrusive rocks, or dolerite sills at greater depth.

3D inversion magnetic modelling has been used to help explain the subsurface magnetic source body geometry causing the two main parallel magnetic anomaly trends. This has resulted in an interpretation that places the tops of magnetic bodies at a greater depth than most drillholes from previous explorers, with only a few very wide spaced historical drillholes appearing to have intersected the tops of the magnetic bodies but did not penetrate deep enough into the cores of both source bodies modelled to cause the strong magnetic anomaly trends (Figures 5 and 6).

Directors’ Report

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) (CONTINUED)

B Remuneration Governance, Structure and Approvals

Remuneration of Directors is currently set by the Board of Directors. The Board has not established a separate Remuneration Committee at this point in the Group’s development, nor has the Board engaged the services of an external remuneration consultant. It is considered that the size of the Board along with the level of activity of the Group renders this impractical. The Board is primarily responsible for:

The over-arching executive remuneration framework;
Operation of the incentive plans which apply to executive directors and senior executives, including key performance indicators and performance hurdles;
Remuneration levels of executives; and
Non-Executive Director fees.

Their objective is to ensure that remuneration policies and structures are fair and competitive and aligned with the longterm interests of the Company.

 Executive Remuneration Structure

The Group’s remuneration policy for executive directors is designed to promote superior performance and long-term commitment to the Group. Executives receive a base salary which is market related. Overall remuneration policies are subject to the discretion of the Board and can be changed to reflect competitive market and business conditions where it is in the best interests of the Group and its shareholders to do so. The Board’s reward policy reflects its obligation to align executives’ remuneration with shareholders’ interests and retain appropriately qualified executive talent for the benefit of the Group. The main principles of the policy are:

Reward reflects the competitive market in which the Group operates;
Individual reward should be linked to performance criteria; and
Executives should be rewarded for both financial and non-financial performance.

Refer below for details of Directors’ remuneration.

 Non-Executive Remuneration Structure

The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors consists of Directors’ fees, payable in arrears. The total aggregate fixed sum per annum to be paid to Non-Executive Directors in accordance with the Company’s Constitution shall initially be no more than A$250,000 and may be varied by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a General Meeting.

The Board may exercise discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options. The policy is designed to attract the highest calibre of Executives and reward them for performance that results in long-term growth in shareholder wealth.

Executives are also entitled to participate in the employee share and option arrangements. Refer below for details of all Directors’ share and option holdings.

All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at the cost to the Group and expensed. Options are valued using an appropriate valuation methodology.

The remuneration of Non-Executive is detailed in Table 1 and their contractual arrangements are disclosed in “Section E – Contractual Arrangements”.

C Remuneration and Performance

The following table shows the gross revenue, losses, earnings per share (“EPS”) and share price of the Group as at 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2019.

Relationship between Remuneration and Company Performance

Given the current phase of the Company’s development, the Board does not consider earnings during the current and previous financial year when determining, and in relation to, the nature and amount of remuneration of KMP.

The pay and reward framework for key management personnel may consist of the following areas:

a) Fixed Remuneration – base salary
b) Variable Short-Term Incentives
c) Variable Long-Term Incentives

The combination of these would comprise the key management personnel’s total remuneration.

a) Fixed Remuneration – Base Salary

The fixed remuneration for each senior executive is influenced by the nature and responsibilities of each role and knowledge, skills and experience required for each position. Fixed remuneration provides a base level of remuneration which is market competitive and comprises a base salary inclusive of statutory superannuation. It is structured as a total employment cost package.

Key management personnel are offered a competitive base salary that comprises the fixed component of pay and rewards. The base covers standard business hours and terms. Work performed on weekends, after hours, travel, site visits and special assignments may be charged at hourly rates reviewable by the Board. External remuneration consultants may provide analysis and advice to ensure base pay is set to reflect the market for a comparable role. No external advice was taken this year. Base salary for key management personnel is reviewed annually to ensure the executives’ pay is competitive with the market. The pay of key management personnel is also reviewed on promotion. There is no guaranteed pay increase included in any key management personnel’s contract.

b) Variable Remuneration – Short -Term Incentives (STI)

Discretionary cash bonuses may be paid to key management personnel annually, subject to the requisite Board and shareholder approvals where applicable.

There were no bonuses paid to Directors during the year.

c) Variable Remuneration – Long-Term Incentives (LTI)

Options are issued at the Board’s discretion. Other than options disclosed in section D of the Remuneration Report there have been no options issued to employees at the date of this financial report.

Paterson Resources Ltd – Annual Report 2020

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Reporting Entity

Paterson Resources Limited (referred to as “Paterson” or the “Company”) is a company domiciled in Australia. The address of the Company’s registered office and principal place of business is disclosed in the Corporate Directory of the Annual Report. The consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended 30 June 2020 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Consolidated Entity” or the “Group”).

(b) Basis of Preparation

Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (“AASB”) and the Corporations Act 2001. The consolidated financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Paterson Resources Ltd is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.

The annual report was authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 29 September 2020.

Basis of measurement

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with the historical cost convention, unless otherwise stated.

Parent entity information

In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the consolidated entity only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in Note 21.

New, revised or amended standards and interpretations adopted by the Group

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.

Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

AASB 16 Leases

The Group has adopted AASB 16 from 1 July 2019. The standard replaces AASB 117 'Leases' and for lessees eliminates the classifications of operating leases and finance leases. Except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities are recognised in the statement of financial position. Straight-line operating lease expense recognition is replaced with a depreciation charge for the right-of-use assets (included in operating costs) and an interest expense on the recognised lease liabilities (included in finance costs). In the earlier periods of the lease, the expenses associated with the lease under AASB 16 will be higher when compared to lease expenses under AASB 117. However, EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation) results improve as the operating expense is now replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit or loss. For classification within the statement of cash flows, the interest portion is disclosed in operating activities and the principal portion of the lease payments are separately disclosed in financing activities. For lessor accounting, the standard does not substantially change how a lessor accounts for leases.

Impact of adoption

The Group has adopted AASB 16 from 1 July 2019 using the retrospective modified approach and as such the comparatives have not been restated. There was no impact of adoption on opening accumulated losses as at 1 July 2019.

Paterson Resources Ltd – Annual Report 2020

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

New standards and interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted

The Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2020. The Group intends to adopt these standards and interpretations, if applicable, when they become effective.

(i) AASB 2018-6: Amendments to the Australia Accounting Standards – Definition of a business This standard amends AASB 3 Business Combinations’ (“AASB 3”) definition of a business. To be considered a business, an acquisition would have to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contributes to the ability to create outputs. The new guidance provides a framework to evaluate when an input and a substantive process are present. The revisions to AASB 3 also introduced an optional concentration test. If the concentration test is met, the set of activities and assets acquired is determined not to be a business combination and asset acquisition accounting is applied. The concentration test is met if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. The Group's assessment of the impact of this new amendment is that it is not expected to have a material impact on the Group in the current or future reporting periods.
(ii) Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework) The revised Conceptual Framework is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Conceptual Framework contains new definition and recognition criteria as well as new guidance on measurement that affects several Accounting Standards. Where the consolidated entity has relied on the existing framework in determining its accounting policies for transactions, events or conditions that are not otherwise dealt with under the Australian Accounting Standards, the consolidated entity may need to review such policies under the revised framework. At this time, the application of the Conceptual Framework is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated entity's financial statements.

Significant Judgements and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 2.

(c) Comparatives

Where required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.

(d) Dividends

Dividends are recognised when declared during the financial year and no longer at the discretion of the Company.

(e) Principles of Consolidation

Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Paterson Resources Ltd (‘Company’ or ‘parent entity’) as at 30 June 2020 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Paterson Resources Ltd and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as the consolidated entity.

Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the consolidated entity has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the consolidated entity controls another entity.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

32 | Page

Paterson Resources Ltd – Annual Report 2020

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between consolidated entity companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the consolidated entity.

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the consolidated entity. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent.

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of financial position respectively.

(f) Functional and presentation currency

The consolidated financial statements have been presented in Australian dollars, which is the Group’s functional currency.

(g) Current and non-current classification

Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.

An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the consolidated entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the consolidated entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.

(h) Impairment of non-financial assets

Goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(i) Employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

Other long-term employee benefits

The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

Defined contribution superannuation expense

Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are incurred .

(j) Segment Reporting

The Group’s sole operations are within the mineral exploration industry within Australia.

The Group has applied AASB 8 Operating Segments. AASB 8 requires a “management approach” under which segment information is presented on the same basis as that used for internal reporting purposes.

Given the nature of the Group, its size and current operations management does not treat any part of the Group as a separate operating segment. Internal financial information used by the Group’s decision makers is presented on a “whole of entity” manner without disaggregation to any separately identifiable segments.

The Group managers operate to manage the business as a whole without any special responsibilities for any separately identifiable segments of the business.

Accordingly, the financial information reported elsewhere in this financial report is representative of the nature and financial effects of the business activities in which it engages and the economic environments in which it operates.

NOTE 2 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure

Exploration and evaluation costs have been capitalised on the basis that activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves. Key judgements are applied in considering costs to be capitalised which includes determining expenditures directly related to these activities and allocating overheads between those that are expensed and capitalised.

34 | Page

Paterson Resources Ltd – Annual Report 2020

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 2 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS AND ASSUMPTIONS (Continued)

The Directors also determines when an area of mineral exploration interest should be abandoned. When a decision is made that an area of interest is not commercially viable, all costs that have been capitalised in respect of that area of interest are written off. The Directors’ decision is made after considering the likelihood of finding commercially viable reserves.

Share-based payment transactions

The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees or suppliers by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using either the Binomial or Hoadley ES02 model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may have, on the consolidated entity based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of activities and geographic regions in which the consolidated entity operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the consolidated entity unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

NOTE 3 SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Group operates in the mineral exploration industry in Australia only.

Given the nature of the Consolidated Entity, its size and current operations, management does not treat any part of the Group as a separate operating segment. Internal financial information used by the Group’s decision makers is presented on a “whole of entity” manner without dissemination to any separately identifiable segments.

The Group’s management operate the business as a whole without any special responsibilities for any separately identifiable segments of the business.

Accounting Policy

Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group is expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the Group: identifies the contract with a customer; identifies the performance obligations in the contract; determines the transaction price which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money; allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service to be delivered; and recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised.

35 | Page

Paterson Resources Ltd – Annual Report 2020

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 4 REVENUE (Continued)

Variable consideration within the transaction price, if any, reflects concessions provided to the customer such as discounts, rebates and refunds, any potential bonuses receivable from the customer and any other contingent events. Such estimates are determined using either the 'expected value' or 'most likely amount' method. The measurement of variable consideration is subject to a constraining principle whereby revenue will only be recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur. The measurement constraint continues until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Amounts received that are subject to the constraining principle are initially recognised as deferred revenue in the form of a separate refund liability.

Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the goods, which is generally at the time of delivery.

Rendering of services

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised over time as the services are rendered based on either a fixed price or an hourly rate.

Interest

Interest income is recognised when the Group gains controls of the right to receive the interest payment.

NOTE 5 EXPENSES (a) Administrative expenses Accounting, audit and company secretarial fees Travel and accommodation expenses General and administration expenses (b) Reversal of expenses from prior year Reversal of expenses are included in the following categories: Reversal of other expense Reversal of director fees Reversal of corporate advisory and consulting fees Refer to Note 18 for further details.

	(1,520,676) (1,231,706)
	5,667,592 5,605,645

Accounting Policy

The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income).

Current Tax

Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at the end of the reporting period. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.

Deferred Tax

Deferred tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well unused tax losses.

Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.

Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.

Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.

NOTE 6 INCOME TAX (Continued)

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.

NOTE 7 LOSS PER SHARE

Basic loss per share amounts are calculated by dividing net loss for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted loss per share amounts are calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on the conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.

Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing:

The profit attributable to owners of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares; and
By the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year and excluding treasury shares.

Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjust the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:

The after-income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares; and
The weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

(a) Allowance for expected credit loss

The consolidated entity has recognised a loss of $nil in profit or loss in respect of the expected credit losses for the year ended 30 June 2020.

Accounting Policy

Trade and Other Receivables

Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.

The Group has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days overdue.

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses.

Goods and Services Tax (‘GST’)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset of the assets or part of the expense.

Paterson Resources Ltd – Annual Report 2020

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 9 TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES (Continued)

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as a current asset or liability in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST on investing and financial activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

Impairment of Assets

Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which they are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.

(i) Of this balance, $85,000 relates to reversal of disputed claims made by the former PSL Directors or their associates. Refer to Note 18 for further details.

Accounting Policy

Acquisition, exploration and evaluation costs associated with mining tenements are accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that the Group’s rights of tenure to that area of interest are current and that the costs are expected to be recouped through the successful commercial development or sale of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

Costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.

Each area of interest is also reviewed annually, and acquisition costs written off to the extent that they will not be recoverable in the future.

Safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders; and
Maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

41 | Page

Paterson Resources Ltd – Annual Report 2020

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 12 CONTRIBUTED EQUITY (Continued)

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the number of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

Given the stage of the Company’s development there are no formal targets set for return on capital. There were no changes to the Company’s approach to capital management during the year. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. The net equity of the Company is equivalent to capital. Net capital is obtained through capital raisings on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”).

Accounting Policy

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options for the acquisition of a business are not included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.

If the Company reacquires its own equity instruments, for example as a result of a share buy-back, those instruments are deducted from equity and the associated shares are cancelled. No gain or loss is recognised in the profit or loss and the consideration paid including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is recognised directly in equity.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 14 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of the financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. The Group uses different methods to measure and manage different types of risks to which it is exposed. These include monitoring levels of exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange risk and assessments of market forecasts for interest rate and foreign exchange prices. Ageing analysis and monitoring of specific credit allowances are undertaken to manage credit risk. Liquidity risk is monitored through the development of future cash flow forecasts.

Risk management is carried out by Management and overseen by the Board of Directors with assistance from suitably qualified external advisors.

The main risks arising for the Group are foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below.

The carrying values of the Group’s financial instruments are as follows:

Financial Assets Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial Liabilities Trade and other payables	2020 2019 $ $
	1,955,989 508,225 173,042 206,457 746 1,343
	2,129,777 716,025
	336,430 570,105
	336,430 570,105

(a) Market risk

(i) Foreign exchange risk

The Group was not significantly exposed to foreign currency risk fluctuations.

(ii) Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instrument’s value will fluctuate as a result of changes in the market interest rates on interest bearing financial instruments. The Group’s exposure to this risk relates primarily to the Group’s cash and any cash on deposit. The Group does not use derivatives to mitigate these exposures. The Group manages its exposure to interest rate risk by holding certain amounts of cash in fixed and floating interest rate facilities. At the reporting date, the interest rate profile of the Group’s interest-bearing financial instruments was:

Cash and cash equivalents	2020 2019 Weighted average interest rate(i) Balance $ Weighted average interest rate Balance $
	0.002% 1,955,989 0.640% 508,225

(i) This interest rate represents the average interest rate for the period.

Sensitivity

Within the analysis, consideration is given to potential renewals of existing positions and the mix of fixed and variable interest rates. The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest rate risk exposures in existence at the reporting date. The 1% increase and 1% decrease in rates is based on reasonably expected possible changes over a financial year, using the observed range of historical rates for the preceding five-year period.

At 30 June 2020, if interest rates had moved, as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables held constant, post-tax losses and equity would have been affected as follows:

+ 1.0% (100 basis points)	19,560	5,082
- 1.0% (100 basis points)	(19,560)	(5,082)

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Group, which comprise cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and other financial assets. The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises from potential default of the counterparty, with maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of the financial assets.

The Group’s policy is to trade only with recognised, creditworthy third parties. It is the Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms will be subject to credit verification procedures.

In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant. There are no significant concentrations of credit risk within the Group.

(c) 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 its reputation.

The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves from funds raised in the market and by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows. The Group does not have any external borrowings.

The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities:

Accounting Policy

Investments and other financial assets

Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part of the initial measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Such assets are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on both the business model within which such assets are held and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset unless an accounting mismatch is being avoided.

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or have been transferred and the consolidated entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. When there is no reasonable expectation of recovering part or all of a financial asset, it's carrying value is written off.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets not measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Typically, such financial assets will be either: (i) held for trading, where they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the short-term with an intention of making a profit, or a derivative; or (ii) designated as such upon initial recognition where permitted. Fair value movements are recognised in profit or loss.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 14 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (Continued)

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income include equity investments which the consolidated entity intends to hold for the foreseeable future and has irrevocably elected to classify them as such upon initial recognition.

Impairment of financial assets

The consolidated entity recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets which are either measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. The measurement of the loss allowance depends upon the consolidated entity's assessment at the end of each reporting period as to whether the financial instrument's credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, based on reasonable and supportable information that is available, without undue cost or effort to obtain.

Where there has not been a significant increase in exposure to credit risk since initial recognition, a 12-month expected credit loss allowance is estimated. This represents a portion of the asset's lifetime expected credit losses that is attributable to a default event that is possible within the next 12 months. Where a financial asset has become credit impaired or where it is determined that credit risk has increased significantly, the loss allowance is based on the asset's lifetime expected credit losses. The amount of expected credit loss recognised is measured on the basis of the probability weighted present value of anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of the instrument discounted at the original effective interest rate.

For financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance is recognised in other comprehensive income with a corresponding expense through profit or loss. In all other cases, the loss allowance reduces the asset's carrying value with a corresponding expense through profit or loss.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF PATERSON RESOURCES LIMITED

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Paterson Resources Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors' declaration.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:

(i) giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 30 June 2020 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

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

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

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. These matters were 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 these matters.

Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed this matter

Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure Refer to Note 10 in the financial statements

The Group has capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure with a carrying value of $17,211,185 as at 30 June 2020.

We considered this to be a key audit matter due to the significant management judgments involved in assessing the carrying value of the asset including:

Determination of whether the exploration and evaluation expenditure can be associated with finding specific mineral resources and the basis on which that expenditure is allocated to an area of interest;
Assessing whether any indicators of impairment are present and if so, judgement applied to determine and quantify any impairment loss; and
Assessing whether exploration activities have reached a stage at which the existence of economically recoverable reserves may be determined.

Our audit procedures included:

Ensuring that the right to tenure of the area of interest was current;
Agreeing a sample of additions to supporting documentation and ensuring the amounts are capital in nature and relate to the area of interest;
Enquiring with management and reviewing budgets and other documentation as evidence that active and significant operations in, or relation to, the area of interest will be continued in the future;
Assessing and evaluating management’s assessment that no indicators of impairment existed at the reporting date; and
Through discussions with the management and review of the Board Minutes, ASX announcements and other relevant documentation, assessing management’s determination that exploration activities have not yet progressed to the stage where the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves may be determined.

Other Information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group's annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020, but does not include the financial report and the auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report

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

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this 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/auditors_responsibilities/ar2.pdf. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
