Review of Operations

Peel Mining Limited (“Peel” or “the Company”) is a base and precious metals Company focused on developing its projects in the Cobar Region of New South Wales, Australia. The Company has been active in the Cobar Superbasin since March 2010, and since that time, has established a reputation as one of NSW’s most successful minerals explorer, with the largest single company landholding of ~3,070km2 in the Cobar Superbasin. The Company has made three major discoveries in this time; the Mallee Bull Copper dominant discovery, the Wirlong Copper discovery and the Wagga Tank-Southern Nights Lead-Zinc-Silver dominant discovery. These deposits, along with the May Day Gold dominant deposit, make up the South Cobar Project (SCP). The project is centred on establishing critical mass of high-quality copper dominant mineral resources to support a proposed central processing operation. The project is focused on a copper first strategy, where it will seek to develop its copper dominant projects of Mallee Bull and Wirlong first. These copper dominant deposits present an opportunity to take advantage of a strong copper market, simplifying the notional sequencing of the deposits and metallurgical processes, and allowing for the potential staging of capital.

During the half year, the Company completed resource infill and extensional diamond drilling at Wirlong with an additional 22 diamond drillholes for 10,244.8m drilled. The drilling program consisted of a total of 38 successful drillholes for ~20,813m of drilling completed utilising three drill rigs.

Highlights from diamond drilling assays returned and released to the market included:

  • 16m @ 3.01% Cu, 5g/t Ag from 613m in WLDD060W1

  • 48m @ 1.4% Cu, 2g/t Ag from 573m in WLDD061

Note: The South Cobar Project MREs utilises A$80/tonne NSR cut-off mineable shapes, which include minimum mining widths and internal dilution except for May Day Open Pit which utilised $40 and $50/t NSR cut-offs for oxide and sulphide resources within an optimal pit respectively. Figures are rounded to reflect the precision of estimates and include rounding errors.

The Company submitted the final Review of Environmental Factors (REF) for Mallee Bull to the Resource Regulator on 23 December 2022 for approval. It is anticipated that a determination will be made in the coming months. Furthermore, preliminary scoping works have commenced for the permitting processes for initial works at Wirlong and Southern Nights. REF’s will be prepared for these projects and submitted as per the process with Mallee Bull.

During the half, the Company undertook extensive ore sorting trial testwork on Mallee Bull and Wirlong composite samples. The trials were conducted by materials sorting specialist TOMRA Sorting Pty Ltd (TOMRA), at their Sydney facility, on copper mineralised drillcore from Mallee Bull and Wirlong. The bulk composite samples were selected to represent potential Run of Mine (ROM) material from each deposit and comprised ~500kg each. The trials yielded excellent results on both samples yielding overall rejection rates of 25.8% for Mallee Bull and 72.5% Wirlong, whilst achieving high recoveries of 92% and 91.1% respectively. Ore sorting is being evaluated to assess the utilisation of bulk mining methods, reducing potential haulage volumes to a centralised plant and reducing capital in processing and tailing disposal.

In November 2022, Peel received confirmation that its application for $500,000 of NSW Government Critical Minerals and High-Tech Metals Activation Fund (CMAF) Stream 1 grant funding was successful and Peel is in the process of completing all required documentation. The Company’s application relates to undertaking PreFeasibility Study work (PFS) on the South Cobar Project (SCP). Peel plans to commence PFS work on the SCP in early FY2023 and will receive staged cash co-contributions from the CMAF grant as it meets deliverables associated with the project.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Basis of preparation of Half Year Financial Statements

These condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2022 have been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001.

This interim financial report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the consolidated entity as the full financial statement. Accordingly, this interim financial statement is to be read in conjunction with the annual financial statement for the year ended 30 June 2022 and any public announcements made by Peel Mining Limited during the interim reporting period in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements.

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, with the exception of the adoption of new and amended standards as set out below.

  • (a) New and amended standards adopted by the Company and standards issued but not yet effective

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are mandatory for the current reporting period. The Group has adopted all of these standards and they have not had a material impact on the Group’s balances, transactions or disclosures reported in these condensed financial statements.

The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

2. Segment Reporting

Management has determined that the Group has only one reportable segment being mineral exploration and development in New South Wales.

The Group is focused on mineral exploration and development of the South Cobar Project, and the Board monitors the Group based on actual versus budgeted expenditure incurred. This internal reporting framework is the most relevant to assist the Board with making decisions regarding the Group and its ongoing exploration and development activities, while also taking into consideration the results of exploration work that has been performed. The Board will review its position on the Company’s reportable segments as it progresses towards development.

3. Financial assets at fair value through comprehensive income

Classification of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

Listed securities at fair value through other comprehensive income

Listed securities at FVOCI comprise the following individual investments:

Consolidated Consolidated Consolidated
31 Dec 2022 30Jun 2022
$ $
Non-current assets
Listed securities
Odin Metals Limited - 650,000
- 650,000

Amounts recognised in profit or loss and other comprehensive income. During the year, the following gains were recognised in profit and loss and other comprehensive income.

Consolidated Consolidated Consolidated Consolidated
31 Dec 2022 31 Dec 2021
$ $
Gain / (Loss) recognised in other comprehensive income
related to equity investments 245,950 (600,000)

In August 2022 the Group sold its shares in Odin Metals Limited, realising a net gain of $245,950 which was included in other comprehensive income. On disposal of the listed securities the related balance within the fair value reserve of financial assets at FVOCI of $854,050 was reclassified to accumulated loss.

Recognised fair value measurements

Fair value hierarchy

This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are recognised and measured at fair value in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the group has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standards. An explanation of each level follows under the table.

Recurring fair value measurements as at 31

Financial Assets at fair value through other
comprehensive income (FVOCI)
Listed securities 650,000 - - 650,000
Total financial assets 650,000 - - 650,000

There were no transfers between the levels for recurring fair value measurements during the year. The group’s policy is to recognise transfers into and out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the reporting period.

Level 1 : The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives and equity securities) is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1.

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-thecounter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities.

Market Risk

The Group no longer has any exposure to equity security price risk as it no longer holds any equity securities.

4. Exploration Assets

Consolidated Consolidated

Write-off of exploration expenditure (138,970) (60,211)
Closing balance 95,523,032 89,717,191

Recovery of the capitalised amount is dependent upon successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the associated tenements.

5. Share based payments

During the period the Company granted 950,000 options to employees through its employee share option plan (ESOP).

The fair value of options at grant date is determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, share price at grant date, expected price volatility of the underlying share, expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option.

Total prorated expenses arising from share-based payments along with vesting of Director and employee options previously granted recognised in the profit and loss during the period were as follows:

31 Dec 2022 31 Dec 2021

6. Related Parties

Transactions with key management personnel

During the financial period the Group paid $24,991 (2021: $25,497) for head office rental and on charges to RIU Pty Ltd, and $0 (2021: $9,900) to RIU Conferences Pty Ltd, both companies controlled by Mr S Hadfield.

Mr Hadfield retired from the Peel Mining Limited Board at the Company’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) on 24 November 2022. No transactions with RIU Pty Ltd or RIU Conferences Pty Ltd were considered to be related party transactions after 24 November 2022.

Compensation of key management personnel

During the period, 460,000 options were granted to Ryan Woodhouse, the CFO/Company Secretary, through its employee share option plan (ESOP). These options were divided into three vesting periods, expiring on 3 December 2025.

It has been determined that the fair value of the options at grant date is $0.15. The valuation was determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, share price at grant date, expected price volatility of the underlying share, expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option. The total value of related party share-based payment transactions at grant date is $69,000. The expense will be prorated over three years per the vesting conditions.

7. Events occurring after the Reporting date

Following the end of the period the performance conditions for the following performance rights were tested and it was concluded that they had not been met by the testing date (31 December 2022):

  • 1,755,000 executive director performance rights (Class A & B) issued to Robert Tyson and James Simpson on 26 November 2020, with an exercise price of $0.00.

  • 945,000 executive director performance rights (Class C) issued to Robert Tyson and James Simpson on 26 November 2020, with an exercise price of $0.00.

  • 260,000 employee performance rights (Class A & B) issued to Ryan Woodhouse on 23 December 2020, with an exercise price of $0.00.

  • 140,000 employee performance rights (Class C) issued to Ryan Woodhouse on 23 December 2020, with an exercise price of $0.00.

The performance rights are due to lapse within the current financial year.

The Company has no other events occurring after the reporting period to disclose.

Independent auditor’s review report to the members of Peel Mining Limited

Conclusion

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Peel Mining Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (collectively the Group), which comprises the condensed statement of financial position as at 31 December 2022, the condensed statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, condensed statement of changes in equity and condensed statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising 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 half-year financial report of the Group does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

  • a. Giving a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2022 and of its consolidated financial performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • b. 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 (ASRE 2410). Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of the half-year 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 ( including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

Directors’ responsibilities for the half-year 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 gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of the half-year 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 2022 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.
