2019 Annual Report | 3
Dear Shareholders,
It gives me great pleasure to present Predictive Discovery Limited’s (Predictive, PDI or the Company) 2019 Annual Report.
With significant new gold discoveries at the Ferkessedougou North and Boundiali Projects and promising results from its 100%-owned Guinea Properties, the Company’s 2019 field season was an unquestionable success.
The Company also received more good news with the sale of Joint Venture Partner Toro Gold to Resolute Mining (ASX: RSG). The Company warmly welcomes Resolute to the Cote D’Ivoire Joint Venture and looks forward to continued success at the Company’s flagship properties.
==> picture [52 x 147] intentionally omitted <==
Without doubt the single biggest event for the Company in FY 2018-19 was the Ferkessedougou North drilling results announced 4th June 2019, with thick gold intercepts and high-grade intervals reported in a newly discovered body that is up to 100m wide and at least 210m long. The discovery, named Ouarigue South, saw thick intercepts at good grades including 45.3m at 3.16g/t gold from 45.9m including 9m at 10.31g/t gold and resulted in a remarkable trading day for the Company with over 300 million shares changing hands and the share price surging over 300% to new intra-year highs. The results are a significant improvement on the initial reconnaissance RC results and suggest that overall gold grades are higher at depth. Deeper drilling along strike to the south may therefore produce higher grades than the initial, shallow RC holes. Most of the mineralised body contains reportable gold grades, which bodes well both for ore continuity and tonnage potential.
At Boundiali, the Company continued to test numerous targets over a more than 20km of gold-in-soil anomalies with drilling programs at the Nyangboue Prospect (13m at 1.78g/t gold from 63m, 14m at 1.30g/t gold from 9m, 7m at 4.02g/t gold from 87m, including 1m at 10.3g/t gold) and drilling and trenching at targets BN1, BN2 and BN3 (5m at 3.49g/t gold from 28m and 7m at 1.43g/t gold from 18m). The drilling and trenching programs at Boundiali have further enhanced the potential of both permits (Boundiali North, Boundiali South) to host large tonnages of gold mineralisation with significant new gold mineralised zones outlined by these results. Also, large areas of gold-insoil anomalies remain untested on the Boundiali Project offering substantial opportunity to discover more mineralisation on both permits.
While the Cote D’Ivoire joint venture properties continue to underpin the future value proposition of Predictive, the opening-up of a new frontier in Guinea provides an exciting new opportunity for gold discovery, with 500km2 of landholdings acquired for early-stage exploration. Thus far, initial results from the Nonta, Kankan and Kaninko Permits have validated the core company strategy of securing land in prospective gold jurisdictions and completing low-cost early stage exploration work to vector down on new targets and prospects. Under the stewardship of in-country Principal Geologist Aimé Nganare, these 100%-owned properties will underpin much of the Predictive-led exploration planned for 2019-2020 field season. The Company has already delineated a number of high-potential targets at Kaninko and Kankan with drilling expected in early 2020.
4 | 2019 Annual Report
The Company believes in running a lean operation and putting shareholder money into exploration. 2018-19 was no exception. 11,427m of RC drilling and 6,809m of trenching were completed on the Boundiali Project, 1,059 m of diamond drilling and 1,960m of trenching were completed at Ferkessedougou North and numerous BLEG, soil sampling, rock-chip sampling and field mapping programs were completed across the Cote D’Ivoire and Guinea Properties.
“
Our objectives for the 2019-20 Financial Year include adding new gold discoveries and resource identification.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank our joint venture partners for their continued support and counsel as we work together for mutual benefit and for their efforts which have advanced the interests of Predictive throughout the past year. The Company’s own focus continues to be on early stage exploration in what is currently the most exciting gold region in the world, with new mines and discoveries a constant reminder of the region’s immense potential.
Our objectives for the 2019-20 Financial Year include adding new gold discoveries and resource identification. I thank you for your support throughout 2018-20 and hope that our progress during the forthcoming year will continue to add value to your investment in Predictive. I would like to thank my fellow board members and management as well as our in-country staff for all their efforts and success during the past year.
Yours Sincerely
Phillip Jackson Non-Executive Chairman

Review of Operations
In 2018-2019 Predictive and Joint Venture partner, Toro Gold, focused exploration activities on the Boundiali and Ferkessedougou North Projects resulting in excellent drill results from both properties. The Company also expanded its 100%-owned position in Guinea, generating very promising early stage results.
In recent years, the Company has assembled a large portfolio of properties across the world-class Birimian greenstone belts of Cote D’Ivoire, Guinea and Burkina Faso (Figure 1).

6 | 2019 Annual Report
Predictive has entered into joint ventures with development-orientated partners on projects in Cote D’Ivoire and Burkina Faso. The Company holds significant minority interests (25-49%) in these projects with most exploration activity funded by these partners. This approach has already yielded gold discoveries in Cote D’Ivoire and Burkina Faso, including the recently announced Ouarigue South discovery at Ferkessedougou North Project. The Company is also in the early stages of exploring a series of 100% owned projects in Guinea, which have produced encouraging gold geochemical anomalies at the Nonta, Kankan and Kaninko Projects.
Following a period of extensive project review by Resolute on its Joint Venture properties in Cote D’Ivoire Predictive announced Resolute’s plans for a drill-focused joint venture exploration program costing $2-3 million in the next 12 months. The program will target the Ferkessedougou North and Boundiali Projects, where significant gold mineralisation has already been discovered.
Our new JV partners have strengthened the outlook for the projects, bringing a fresh approach to exploration, supporting Resolute’s objective of adding gold ounces to its portfolio. We eagerly await the commencement of diamond drilling at Ferkessedougou North and look forward to advancing both JV Projects towards what we believe could be significant gold deposits.

Deal Structure
Resolute (formerly Toro Gold) earned 70% in the holding company, Predictive Discovery Cote D’Ivoire SARL through exploration expenditures on the Joint Venture projects up to December 2018. The Company estimates that Resolute’s equity increased by 5% in from January to June 2019. Predictive therefore intends to fund about 25% of the Joint Venture’s exploration budget in the 2020 financial year.
8 | 2019 Annual Report
Financial Year 2018-19 Exploration Activity
Cote D’Ivoire
Predictive has been operating in Cote D’Ivoire since 2013 and regard it as a highly attractive destination for mining investment, both because of its high prospectivity for gold discovery and for its deserved reputation as an investor friendly jurisdiction. Apart from the Company’s own exploration successes in Cote D’Ivoire, other Australian listed explorers, such as Exore Resources (ASX: ERX) and Tietto Minerals (ASX: TIE) are reporting very exciting exploration results from the country.
In recent years Predictive has expanded its ground position in Cote D’Ivoire. The country covers over a third of the highly prospective Birimian gold belt, more than any other country in West Africa. Cote D’Ivoire is highly underexplored for gold because the exploration investment boom in the last decade largely bypassed the country because of political instability. Since the accession of President Alassane Ouattara in 2011 and his comfortable re-election in 2015, and with investment certainty provided by an updated Mining Act and a forward-looking Mines Administration, Cote D’Ivoire has become an attractive exploration investment destination.
In Cote D’Ivoire, Predictive holds a joint venture with Resolute Mining and an agreement with Montage Gold Corporation (formerly Progress Minerals Inc) that entitles the Company to production payments from future gold mine production from new mines. The Company holds one wholly-owned exploration permit and two permit applications in the name of its 100% owned subsidiary, Ivoirian Resources SARL.
Ferkessedougou North (Resolute JV)
Diamond Drilling Program
In June, Predictive announced the discovery of the Ouarigue South deposit (Figure 2 & 3), a mineralised body up to 100m wide and at least 210m-long from a nine-hole diamond drilling (DD) program, with a best intercept of 45.3m at 3.16g/t gold from 45.9m including 9m at 10.31g/t gold[1] . The diamond drilling program was designed to explore the shape and grade distribution of a gold mineralised body, which was initially encountered in reconnaissance RC drilling and trenching programs. To date, a total of 7,107m of trenching, 80 RC holes (for 4,989m) and 9 DD holes (for 1,059m) has been completed on the Ferkessedougou North Project.

Boundiali and Boundiali North Permits (Resolute JV)
The Boundiali Project consists of two permits – Boundiali North and Boundiali South (Figure 4) - which cover more than 35km of strike length of a very well-mineralised greenstone belt, which includes the Sissingue gold mine in Cote D’Ivoire and Resolute’s flagship Syama mine in Mali.
==> picture [423 x 258] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 4 - Boundiali Project (North and South) geochemical map results highlighting targets BN1, BN2 and BN3 and RC/DD holes (black dots). Note the large extent of untested gold-in-soil geochemical anomalies.
Predictive’s first exploration program on the permit was a BLEG stream sediment survey in 2014 which discovered a series of gold stream sediment anomalies, the strongest of which was downstream of the Nyangboue Prospect. Subsequent soil sampling by then joint venture partner Toro Gold Limited in 2015-16 revealed the 6km-long Nyangboue gold geochemical anomaly. Initial RC and diamond drilling in 2016/17 on the Nyangboue Prospect returned a series of excellent drill results including 30m at 8.3g/t gold from 39m and 28m at 4.04g/t gold from 3m.
In 2018 the joint venture undertook a soil geochemistry program comprising 6,338 samples on the Boundiali North permit, identifying a series of gold anomalies extending over 14km clustered around the inferred north-south Nyangboue structure which also passes through the Nyangboue gold mineralised zone, further south. Higher gold values include 1,185, 806 and 626 ppb gold.
Following the initial soil sampling program, the joint venture completed a 6,809m trenching program over the Boundiali North permit. In March 2019 an RC drill rig began work with infill drilling at Boundiali South on the Nyangboue Prospect (Figure 5). Highly encouraging first results were received from a 31-hole (3,324m) infill Reverse Circulation (RC) drill program at the Nyangboue Prospect with numerous significant gold results returned with good widths and high grades with multiple +1g/t gold intercepts were recorded in every hole.
Better Results included:
-
BRC 170: 13m at 1.78g/t gold from 63m
-
BRC 171: 14m at 1.30g/t gold from 9m
-
BRC 171: 7m at 4.02g/t gold from 87m, including 1m at 10.3g/t gold

Figure 5 – Nyangboue Gold Prospect with current and previous drill holes overlain gold-in-soil anomalies
Based on these infill drill results, mineralisation at Nyangboue now appears to consist of a series of north-striking, subparallel, gold-mineralised zones dipping shallowly to the west. Given that the mineralisation is open to the north, south and down dip, there is clearly more drilling to be done at Nyangboue to determine the full size of the gold mineralised system. When combined with the new gold mineralisation discovered in the Boundiali North permit (see below), the potential scale of the mineralised systems at Boundiali continues to grow.
In April the drill rig was moved to Boundiali North where a large reconnaissance RC drill program was completed testing targets identified by the trenching program (Figure 6). The RC drilling tested three strong gold-in-soil anomalies with a combined length of 7.7km within the previously defined broad, 14km long zone of soil anomalies.
Better intersections included:
-
BNRC012 - 5m at 3.49g/t gold from 28m
-
BNRC014 - 7m at 1.43g/t gold from 18m
-
BNRC015 - 8m at 1.80g/t gold from 35m

Figure 6 - Boundiali North Gold Prospect Cross Section
6,809m of reconnaissance trenching at Boundiali North also encountered wide zones of anomalous gold with multiple intersections of higher values, including:
-
BNTR002 - 2m at 4.96g/t gold
-
BNTR003A - 14m at 1.01 gold within a 162m long section averaging 0.42g/t gold
-
BNTR004 - 2m at 5.09g/t gold within a 60m long section averaging 0.48g/t gold
-
BNTR005 - 14m at 1.80g/t gold within a 34m long section averaging 0.92g/t gold
-
BNTR007 - 24m at 2.29g/t gold within a 58m long section averaging 1.10g/t gold
-
BNTR008 - 10m at 2.24g/t gold within a 66m long section averaging 0.50g/t gold
Predictive expects that the joint venture will carry out more drilling on both permits after the drill fire assay results are received and further assessment of past programs on the project areas is completed. Given that large areas of gold-in-soil anomalies remain undrilled on both Boundiali permits, the potential for new discoveries remains high.

Guinea
During the reporting period the Company acquired five Reconnaissance Authorisations in Guinea totalling ~500km[2] (Figure 7). All landholdings were identified through the Company’s Predictore[TM] methodology which helps identify large and deep structures which are thought to have channelled large quantities of gold-bearing fluid from deeper in the earth’s crust, generating well mineralised gold belts including large gold deposits at surface.
==> picture [480 x 373] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 7 – Predictive Discovery 100%-owned Projects in Guinea
The Predictore[TM] methodology and a strategic analysis of the country has identified the Siguiri Basin Figure 7 as being both highly prospective for gold mineralisation and underexplored. The Siguiri Basin is part of the richly mineralised West African Birimian gold belt and consists largely of metasediments with minor granitic rocks, metavolcanics and mafic to ultramafic intrusives.
In April, Predictive announced results from initial field work at Nonta and Kankan Projects. The Company sampled and assayed 50 rock chip and dump samples from artisanal mine sites and rock outcrops at Nonta with a peak value of 29g/t Au. A gold Bulk Leach Extractable Gold (BLEG) stream sediment sampling program was completed, totalling 39 samples, with results peaking at 223ppb Au and exceeding 20ppb over two stream catchment areas covering a total area of 20km[2] . During the period, the Company also completed a gold Bulk Leach Extractable Gold (BLEG) stream sediment sampling program (peaking at 87ppb Au) on Kankan (Figure 7), totalling 42 samples. An initial soil sampling program over part of the permit, totalling 269 samples, collected on an 800 x 100m[2] grid, was completed revealing a 6km long zone of gold-in-soil anomalies with a peak value of 570ppb Au.

In early October, the Company also announced encouraging initial sampling results from the Kaninko Project (Figure 9). Three prospects for potential drill targeting have been identified, Bankan Creek Prospect (peak value of 4.6g/t gold), Bankan north-east Prospect (peak values of 1.6g/t gold and 1.4g/t gold) and Bankan East Prospect (peak-value of 1.3g/t gold).
The early results from Kaninko add a promising new prospect to the Guinea portfolio following the earlier results from Kankan and Nonta which identified extensive soil geochemical anomalies. The better results were obtained from vertical channel sampling of weathered bedrock within a 300m length of artisanal workings from which artisanal miners report that they are currently extracting significant quantities of gold.

Figure 9 - Location of samples and prospects, Kaninko Exploration Permit, Guinea
Larger scale geochemical surveys on the Kankan, Nonta and Kaninko properties will be undertaken in the next few months. These may be accompanied by ground geophysical surveys where appropriate. All this work is aimed at readying Predictive’s best Guinea prospects for drilling in the March Quarter of 2020.

Burkina Faso
Predictive’s current tenement holdings in Burkina Faso are located in the east of the country and cover approximately 100km of strike length of the Samira Hill greenstone belt in eastern Burkina Faso. This belt hosts the 2.5 million-ounce Samira Hill gold deposit across the border in Niger and contains numerous active artisanal gold mine sites along its length.
During FY 2018-2019, the Progress Minerals Joint Venture (now Montage Joint Venture) completed 2,596m of RC drilling on the Tambiri permit, which lies within the wider Progress JV Area of Influence (AOI). The program was testing a gold geochemical anomaly and mineralised structure along strike from high-grade gold mineralisation drilled by Predictive in 2011-12. The drilling encountered narrow zones gold mineralisation in most holes along the Tambiri shear zone trend. The mineralised zones dip steeply to the south, consistent with the earlier Predictive drilling.
Better intercepts included:
-
TAMRC005: 1m at 7.23 g/t Au.
-
TAMRC008: 4m at 4.23g/t Au from 74m including 1m at 10.90g/t Au.
On completion of the Tambiri program,15,000m of RC drilling was planned to commence on the Bira Project in the March Quarter, testing 10 targets, however due to the security incident at the Tiabongou campsite, work there is currently suspended.
On 18th January 2019, the Company advised of a security incident at its Progress Minerals Joint Venture in Burkina Faso, which resulted in the death of a senior employee of its Canadian joint venture partner Progress Minerals Inc. The Company extended its deepest sympathies to the family and colleagues of Kirk Woodman – a respected geologist with 20 years of experience in working on the ground in West Africa. The ongoing safety and security of every individual involved in the joint venture managed by Progress Minerals is of paramount importance to both companies.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
In 2018-2019 Predictive‘s joint venture with Toro Gold Limited in Cote D’Ivoire continued to generate highly encouraging drilling results from two properties. Progress during the year included recognition of two new zones with significant resource potential – the Ouarigue South prospect and two prospects within the Boundiali North permit. The Company also opened up a new frontier for exploration in Guinea during the year, acquiring 5 properties covering a total area of 500km[2] and commencing early stage exploration programs which have revealed several promising gold-in-soil anomalies.
JOINT VENTURE PARTNERS
Progress Minerals International Inc (now part of Montage Gold Corporation)

FINANCIAL YEAR 2018-19 EXPLORATION ACTIVITY
Project Highlights
Ferkessedougou North Project (Cote D’Ivoire) – Diamond drilling following up highly encouraging trench results on the Ouarigue South prospect obtained a series of broad gold intercepts in a zone of mineralised granite and metasediments which is now known to be at least 200m long and up to 100m wide. The best gold intercepts were 45.2m at 3.2g/t Au including 9m at 10.3 g/t Au and 59.7m at 1.4g/t Au . Infill soil sampling on the surrounding area commenced immediately after these results were obtained, aimed at finding more such mineralised granite gold deposits within the 17km long zone of gold-in-soil geochemical anomalies in the permit.
DIVIDENDS PAID OR RECOMMENDED
No dividends were paid or declared since the start of the financial year. No recommendation for payment of dividends has been made.
FINANCIAL POSITION
The net assets of the Group have decreased by $896,460 from 30 June 2018 to 30 June 2019. This net movement is largely due to the following factors:
-
$0.52m net capital raising;
-
Share of Losses in Associates, following deconsolidation of subsidiaries from Joint Venture earn-ins;
-
Expenditure on exploring and evaluating the assets in Burkina Faso and Cote D’Ivoire; and
-
Exploration expenses.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN STATE OF AFFAIRS
No significant changes in the Group’s state of affairs occurred during the financial year, with the exception of a capital raising net of $0.52 million.
EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO BALANCE DATE

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)
REMUNERATION POLICY
It is the policy of the Company that, except in special circumstances, non-executive directors normally be remunerated by way of fixed fees, should not receive a bonus or options and should not be provided with retirement benefits other than statutory superannuation.
The Board, within the limit pre-approved by shareholders, determines fees payable to individual non-executive directors. The remuneration level of any executive director or other senior executive is determined by the Board after taking into consideration levels that apply to similar positions in comparable companies in Australia and taking account of the individual’s possible participation in any equity based remuneration scheme. The Board may use industry wide data gathered by independent remuneration experts annually as its point of reference. Options or shares issued to any director pursuant to any equity based remuneration scheme require approval by shareholders prior to their issue. Options or shares granted to senior executives who are not directors are issued by resolution of the Board.
It is the policy of the Company that persons to whom options have been issued should not enter into any transaction in any associated product which is designed to limit the economic risk of participating in unvested entitlements under an equity based remuneration scheme.
There are no schemes for retirement benefits, other than the payment of the statutory superannuation contribution for non-executive and executive directors.
All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as qualifications, expertise, experience etc.), superannuation and fringe benefits and are eligible for the grant of options under the Employee Option Plan.
The Board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for the time, commitment and responsibilities.
The fees payable to individual non-executive directors must be determined by the Board within the aggregate sum of $500,000 per annum provided for under clause 21.1 of the constitution. That aggregate sum can only be increased with the prior approval of the shareholders of the Company at a general meeting. A non-executive director is entitled to a refund of approved expenditure and may also receive payments for consultancy work contracted for and performed separately on the Company’s behalf.
The Company’s policy for determining the nature and amount of emoluments of Board members and senior executives of the Company is as follows:
The remuneration structure for executive officers, including executive directors, is based on a number of factors, including length of service, particular experience of the individual concerned, and overall performance of the Company. The contracts for service between the Company, Directors and executives are on a continuing basis the terms of which are not expected to change in the immediate future.

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) (continued)
PERFORMANCE-BASED REMUNERATION
Performance based remuneration for key management personnel is limited to granting of options.
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REMUNERATION POLICY AND COMPANY PERFORMANCE
The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase goal congruence between shareholders, directors and executives. The issue of options in past years to the majority of directors and executives is to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests. The company believes this policy will be effective in increasing shareholder wealth.
PERFORMANCE CONDITIONS LINKED TO REMUNERATION
The Group’s remuneration of key management personnel does not include any performance conditions.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This financial report includes the consolidated financial statements and notes of Predictive Discovery Limited and controlled entities (the “Group”).
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Predictive Discovery Limited is a for-profit company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
Basis of preparation
The financial report is a general purpose financial statement that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001 .
Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.
The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected financial assets and financial liabilities.
The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of the directors, on 27 September 2019. The directors have the power to amend and re-issue the financial statements.
These financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, rounded to the nearest dollar.
(a) Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by Predictive Discovery Limited at the end of the reporting period. A controlled entity is any entity over which Predictive Discovery Limited has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from the entity's activities. Control will generally exist when the parent owns, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, more than half of the voting power of an entity. In assessing the power to govern, the existence and effect of holdings of actual and potential voting rights are also considered.
Where controlled entities have entered or left the Group during the year, the financial performance of those entities are included only for the period of the year that they were controlled. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 17 to the financial statements.
As at reporting date, the assets and liabilities of all controlled entities have been incorporated into the consolidated financial statements as well as their results for the year then ended. Where controlled entities have entered (left) the Group during the year, their operating results have been included (excluded) from the date control was obtained (ceased).
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-Group balances and transactions between entities in the Group have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with those adopted by the parent entity.
Non-controlling interests, being the equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent, are shown separately within the Equity section of the consolidated statement of financial position and consolidated statement of comprehensive income. The non-controlling interests in the net assets comprise their interests at the date of the original business combination and their share of changes in equity since that date.
Subsidiaries are accounted for in the parent entity at cost.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(a) Principles of consolidation (continued)
Business Combinations
Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses and results in the consolidation of its assets and liabilities.
A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination involving entities or businesses under common control. The acquisition method requires that for each business combination one of the combining entities must be identified as the acquirer (i.e. parent entity). The business combination will be accounted for as at the acquisition date, which is the date that control over the acquiree is obtained by the parent entity.
At this date, the parent shall recognise, in the consolidated accounts, and subject to certain limited exceptions, the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In addition, contingent liabilities of the acquiree will be recognised where a present obligation has been incurred and its fair value can be reliably measured.
The acquisition may result in the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase. The method adopted for the measurement of goodwill will impact on the measurement of any non-controlling interest to be recognised in the acquiree where less than 100% ownership interest is held in the acquiree.
The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred for a business combination plus the acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest shall form the cost of the investment in the separate financial statements. Consideration may comprise the sum of the assets transferred by the acquirer, liabilities incurred by the acquirer to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the acquirer.
Fair value uplifts in the value of pre-existing equity holdings are taken to the statement of comprehensive income. Where changes in the value of such equity holdings had previously been recognised in other comprehensive income, such amounts are recycled to profit or loss.
Included in the measurement of consideration transferred is any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Any obligation incurred relating to contingent consideration is classified as either a financial liability or equity instrument, depending upon the nature of the arrangement. Rights to refunds of consideration previously paid are recognised as a receivable. Subsequent to initial recognition, contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or a liability is remeasured each reporting period to fair value through the statement of comprehensive income unless the change in value can be identified as existing at acquisition date.
All transaction costs incurred in relation to the business combination are expensed to the statement of comprehensive income.
Interests in joint arrangements
IFRS defines a joint arrangement as one over which two or more parties have joint control, which is the contractually agreed sharing of control over an arrangement. This exists only when the decisions about the relevant activities (being those that significantly affect the returns of the arrangement) require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
(i) Joint operations
A joint operation is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. In relation to its interests in joint operations, the Group recognises its:
30 | 2019 Annual Report
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
-
(a) Principles of consolidation (continued)
-
Assets, including its share of any assets held jointly
-
Liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly
-
Revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation
-
Share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation
-
Expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly
(ii) Joint ventures
A joint venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint venture. The Group’s investment in its joint venture is accounted for using the equity method.
Under the equity method, the investment in the joint venture is initially recognised at cost. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to recognise changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the joint venture since the acquisition date. Goodwill relating to the joint venture is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is neither amortised nor individually tested for impairment.
The statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income (OCI) reflects the Group’s share of the results of operations of the joint venture. Any change in OCI of that investee is presented as part of the Group’s OCI. In addition, when there has been a change recognised directly in the equity of the joint venture, the Group recognises its share of any changes, when applicable, in the statement of changes in equity. Unrealised gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and the joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the joint venture.
The aggregate of the Group’s share of profit or loss of the joint venture is shown on the face of the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income outside operating profit and represents profit or loss after tax and noncontrolling interests in the subsidiaries of joint venture.
The financial statements of the joint venture are prepared for the same reporting period as the Group. When necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Group.
At each reporting date, the Group determines whether there is objective evidence that the investment in the joint venture is impaired. If there is such evidence, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the joint venture and its carrying value, then recognises the loss as ‘Share of profit of a joint venture’ in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. On loss of joint control over the joint venture, the Group measures and recognises any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the joint venture upon loss of joint control and the fair value of the retained investment and proceeds from disposal is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
(iii) Reimbursement of the costs of the operator of the joint arrangement
When the Group, acting as an operator or manager of a joint arrangement, receives reimbursement of direct costs recharged to the joint arrangement, such recharges represent reimbursements of costs that the operator incurred as an agent for the joint arrangement and therefore have no effect on profit or loss. When the Group charges a management fee (based on a fixed percentage of total costs incurred for the year) to cover other general costs incurred in carrying out the activities on behalf of the joint arrangement, it is not acting as an agent. Therefore, the general overhead expenses and the management fee are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as an expense and income, respectively.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(b) Revenue recognition
The Group recognises revenue as follows:
Interest
Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
Other revenue
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
(c) Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in income in the period in which they are incurred.
(d) Income Tax
The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income).
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 income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well as unused tax losses. Current and deferred 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.
32 | 2019 Annual Report
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(d) Income Tax (continued)
Current 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.
(e) Employee Benefits
Provision is made for the company's liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the end of the reporting period. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. In determining the liability, consideration is given to employee wage increases and the probability that the employee may satisfy vesting requirements. Those cashflows are discounted using market yields on corporate bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cashflows.
Liabilities recognised in respect of employee benefits which are not expected to be settled within 12 months are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by The Group in respect of services provided by employees up to reporting date.
(f) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when The Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.
The liability for long service leave is recognised in current and non-current liabilities, depending on the unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.
(g) Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances
The functional currency of each of the Group's entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity's functional and presentation currency. All other companies within The Group have Australian dollars as their functional currency.
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in equity, otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

==> picture [39 x 47] intentionally omitted <==
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(g) Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances ( continued )
The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the Group's presentation currency are translated as follows:
-
assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date;
-
income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and
-
retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.
Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the Group's foreign currency translation reserve in the consolidated statement of financial position. These differences are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the period in which the operation is disposed.
(h) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short term borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position.
(i) 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 Group 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.
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income include equity investments which the Group intends to hold for the foreseeable future and has irrevocably elected to classify them as such upon initial recognition.
Impairment of financial assets
The Group 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 Group'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.
34 | 2019 Annual Report
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(i) Investments and other financial assets (continued)
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 measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance is recognised within other comprehensive income. In all other cases, the loss allowance is recognised in profit or loss.
(j) Property, Plant and Equipment
Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value as indicated, less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Plant and Equipment
Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis.
Depreciatio n
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight line basis over the asset's useful life to the Group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.
The estimated useful lives used for each class of depreciable assets are:
| ated useful lives used for each class of | depreciable assets are: |
|---|---|
| Class of Fixed Asset | Useful Life |
| Plant and Equipment | 2 - 10 years |
The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
Property, plant and equipment is derecognised and removed from the consolidated statement of financial position on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected. Gains and losses from derecognition are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(j) Property, Plant and Equipment ( continued )
Subsequent costs are included in the property, plant and equipment's carrying value or recognised as a separate asset when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will be realised and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are recognised in profit or loss.
Where required by accounting standards comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with changes in presentation for the current financial year.
(k) Exploration and Development Expenditure
Costs Carried Forward
Costs arising from exploration and evaluation activities are carried forward where the rights to tenure for the area of interest are current and such costs are expected to be recouped through successful development, or by sale, or where exploration and evaluation activities have not, at reporting date, reached a stage to allow a reasonable assessment regarding the existence of economically recoverable reserves.
Costs carried forward in respect of an area of interest that is abandoned are written off in the period in which the decision to abandon is made.
Contributions received from third parties in exchange for participating interests in exploration and evaluation tenements (e.g. as part of farm out arrangements) are netted off against the costs carried forward in respect of those tenements in which the third party acquires a participating interest.
(l) Impairment of Assets
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The assessment will include considering external sources of information including, dividends received from subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities deemed to be out of pre-acquisition profits. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use to the asset's carrying value. Any excess of the asset's carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.
Where an impairment loss on a revalued asset is identified, this is debited against the revaluation surplus in respect of the same class of asset to the extent that the impairment loss does not exceed the amount in the revaluation surplus for that same class of asset.
Non-financial assets, other than inventories, deferred tax assets, assets from employee benefits, investment properties and deferred acquisition costs, are assessed for any indication of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Any indication of impairment requires formal testing of impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to an estimate of the recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is calculated as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the recoverable amount of the asset.
Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually regardless of whether there is any indication of impairment.
The recoverable amount is the greater of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. The asset's value in use is calculated as the estimated future cash flows discounted to their present value using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks associated with the asset. Assets that cannot be tested individually for impairment are Grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows (the asset's cash generating unit).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(l) Impairment of Assets (continued)
Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses are allocated first, to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to cash generating units, and then to other assets of the group on a pro rata basis.
Assets other than goodwill are assessed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. Impairment losses recognised in prior periods for assets other than goodwill are reversed up to the carrying amounts that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior periods.
(m) Associates
Associates are entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control or joint control. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the share of the profits or losses of the associate is recognised in profit or loss and the share of the movements in equity is recognised in other comprehensive income. Investments in associates are carried in the statement of financial position at cost plus postacquisition changes in the Group's share of net assets of the associate. Goodwill relating to the associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is neither amortised nor individually tested for impairment. Dividends received or receivable from associates reduce the carrying amount of the investment.
When the Group's share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any unsecured long-term receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
The Group discontinues the use of the equity method upon the loss of significant influence over the associate and recognises any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the associate's carrying amount, fair value of the retained investment and proceeds from disposal is recognised in profit or loss.
(n) Trade and Other Payables
Trade and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods and services received by the Group during the reporting period which remain unpaid. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amounts normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability.
(o) 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 Tax Office. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the consolidated statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.
(p) Leases
Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset but not the legal ownership that are transferred to entities in the Group are classified as finance leases.
Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period.
(q) Earnings Per Share
Basic loss per share is calculated as net loss attributable to members of the Group divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares. Diluted loss per share is calculated by adjusting the net loss attributable to members of the Group and the number of shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which include shares options.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(r) Contributed Equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
(s) Share-based Payment Transactions
Employees of the Group receive remuneration in the form of share based payment transactions, whereby employees render services in exchange for equity instruments ("equity settled transactions"). When the goods or services acquired in a share based payment transaction do not qualify for recognition as assets, they are recognised as expenses.
The cost of equity settled transactions and the corresponding increase in equity is measured at the fair value of the goods or services acquired. Where the fair value of the goods or services received cannot be reliably estimated, the fair value is determined indirectly by the fair value of the equity instruments using the Black Scholes option valuation technique.
Equity-settled transactions that vest after employees complete a specified period of service are recognised as services are received during the vesting period with a corresponding increase in equity.
(t) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial statements based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.
Key estimates – Impairment
The Group assesses impairment at the end of each reporting period by evaluating conditions specific to the Group that may be indicative of impairment triggers. Recoverable amounts of relevant assets are reassessed using fair value less cost to sell.
Key judgements – Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
The Group capitalises expenditure relating to exploration and evaluation where it is considered likely to be recoverable or where the activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves. $1,923,318 has been capitalised as at 30 June 2019 (see note 6). While there are certain areas of interest from which no reserves have been extracted, the directors are of the continued belief that such expenditure should not be written off since feasibility studies in such areas have not yet concluded and there are no facts of circumstances that suggest the carrying amounts of the exploration and evaluation assets recognised exceed their recoverable amount.
In assessing the recoverability of the carrying amounts, the Directors have determined that as with similar companies, future capital raisings will be required in order to continue the exploration and development of the company's mining tenements (some subject to an option payment) to achieve a position where they can prove exploration reserves. Should there be no funding available, exploration of the areas of interest may be put on hold. The recoverability of the exploration asset is dependent upon the continued exploration of each area of interest.
Key Judgements – Share-based payment transactions
The Group measures the cost of equity settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using the Black Scholes method. The related assumptions are detailed in note 21. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled sharebased payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact expenses and equity.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(t) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements (continued)
Key Judgements - Going Concern
For the year ended 30 June 2019 the Group made a loss of $1,459,332 (2018: loss $1,474,046). Notwithstanding this the financial report has been prepared using the going concern basis. The Directors have determined that as with similar companies, future capital raisings will be required in order to continue the exploration and development of the company's mining tenements and meet operational expenditure at current levels to achieve a position where they can prove exploration reserves. The ability of the company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the company raising additional capital sufficient to meet the company's exploration commitments and operational commitments. Should there be no funding available, exploration of the areas of interest may be put on hold. The recoverability of the exploration asset is dependent upon the continued exploration of each area of interest.
The Directors have prepared a cash flow forecast for the foreseeable future reflecting this expectation and their effect upon the company. The achievement of the forecast is dependent upon the future capital raising, the outcome of which is uncertain. Should future capital raising and forecasts be unsuccessful, there is a significant uncertainty whether the Group will continue as a going concern and therefore realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at amounts stated in the financial report.
Key Judgements - Recoverability of Intercompany Loan
Within non-current assets of the parent entity (see note 23) there is a loan due from the 100% subsidiaries of $300,415 which is considered fully recoverable. The recoverability of this loan is dependent upon the successful development or sale of exploration assets in Burkina Faso and Cote D’Ivoire.
Key Judgements - Joint arrangements
Judgement is required to determine when the Group has joint control, which requires an assessment of the relevant activities and when the decisions in relation to those activities require unanimous consent. The Group has determined that the relevant activities for its joint arrangements are those relating to the operating and capital decisions of the arrangement, such as: the approval the capital expenditure programme for each year, and appointing, remunerating and terminating the key management personnel or service providers of the joint arrangement. The considerations made in determining joint control are similar to those necessary to determine control over subsidiaries.
Judgement is also required to classify a joint arrangement. Classifying the arrangement requires the Group to assess their rights and obligations arising from the arrangement. Specifically, it considers:
-
The structure of the joint arrangement – whether it is structured through a separate vehicle
-
When the arrangement is structured through a separate vehicle, the Group also considers the rights and obligations arising from:
-
The legal form of the separate vehicle
-
The terms of the contractual arrangement
-
Other facts and circumstances (when relevant)
This assessment often requires significant judgement, and a different conclusion on joint control and also whether the arrangement is a JO or a JV, may materially impact the accounting. The Group has a joint arrangement which is structured through a separate vehicle, being a company structure. This structure, and the terms of the contractual arrangement indicate that the Group has rights to the net assets of the arrangement. Given this, the Group then had to assess the other facts and circumstances relating to this arrangement. After undertaking this assessment, there were a number of indicators for both a joint venture classification and a joint operation classification. Significant judgement was therefore required to determine how these factors would be analysed. The final conclusion was that the arrangement was a joint venture.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(u) Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards
In the current year, the Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual reporting period. The adoption of these new and revised Standards and Interpretations has not resulted in a significant or material change to the Group’s accounting policies.
AASB 9 Financial Instruments
AASB 9 will replaced AASB 139: Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The key changes that may affect the Group on initial application of AASB 9 and associated amending Standards include:
-
simplifying the general classifications of financial assets into those carried at amortised cost and those carried at fair value;
-
permitting entities to irrevocably elect on initial recognition to present gains and losses on an equity instrument that is not held for trading in other comprehensive income (OCI);
-
simplifying the requirements for embedded derivatives, including removing the requirements to separate and fair value embedded derivatives for financial assets carried at amortised cost;
-
requiring an entity that chooses to measure a financial liability at fair value to present the portion of the change in its fair value due to changes in the entity’s own credit risk in OCI, except when it would create an ‘accounting mismatch’;
-
introducing a new model for hedge accounting that permits greater flexibility in the ability to hedge risk, particularly with respect to non-financial items; and
-
requiring impairment of financial assets carried at amortised cost based on an expected loss approach.
The adoption of AASB 9 did not materially impact on the Group’s financial statements other than various descriptive changes in the accounting policies.
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
AASB 15 provides (except in relation to some specific exceptions, such as lease contracts and insurance contracts) a single source of accounting requirements for all contracts with customers, thereby replacing all current accounting pronouncements on revenue. These Standards provide a revised principle for recognising and measuring revenue. Under AASB 15, revenue is recognised in a manner that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the provider of the goods or services expects to be entitled. The give effect to this principle, AASB 15 requires the adoption of the following 5-step model:
-
identify the contract(s) with a customer;
-
identify the performance obligations under the contract(s);
-
determine the transaction price;
-
allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations under the contract(s); and
-
recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies the performance obligations.
AASB 15 also provides additional guidance to assist entities in applying the revised principle to licences of intellectual property, warranties, rights of return, principal/agent considerations and options for additional goods and services.
The adoption of AASB 15 did not materially impact on the Group’s financial statements other than various descriptive changes in the accounting policies.
New accounting standards issued but not yet effective
Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are not yet mandatorily applicable to the Group, together with an assessment of the potential impact of such pronouncements on the Group when adopted in future periods, are discussed below:
AASB 16 Leases (effective from 1 January 2019)
Under AASB 16 there is no longer a distinction between finance and operating leases. Lessees will now bring to account a right-to-use asset and lease liability onto their balance sheets for all leases. Effectively this means the vast majority of operating leases as defined by the current AASB 117 Leases which currently do not impact the balance sheet will be required to be capitalised on the balance sheet once AASB 16 is adopted.
The directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 16 will not materially impact on the Group’s financial statements and continue to assess and estimate such impact.`

NOTE 6: EXPLORATION, EVALUATION AND DEVELOPMENT ASSETS (continued)
The recoverability of the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective areas of interest. The board has assessed the exploration and evaluation assets for impairment, using AASB 6 paragraph 20 as a guide. As a result of this process no tenements were impaired during the period.
The budget for future exploration and evaluation expenditure is split by geographical area and not by area of interest as the allocation of resources will depend upon findings. However, it is acknowledged that the budget allows for spending on all areas of interest without exclusion. It is anticipated that all expenditure required by agreement or permit will be met.
In assessing the recoverability of the carrying amounts, reference is made to Note 1 (t) - Key Judgements - Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure and Going Concern. The Directors have determined that as with similar companies, future capital raisings will be required in order to continue the exploration and development of the company's mining tenements (some subject to an option payment) to achieve a position where they can prove exploration reserves. Should there be no funding available, exploration of the areas of interest may be put on hold. The recoverability of the exploration asset is dependent upon the continued exploration of each area of interest.
NOTE 7: INVESTMENTS IN ASSOCIATES
On 30 June 2018, Predictive Discovery Limited reduced its investment in Burkina Resources Pty Ltd, Burkina Resources SARL, Predictive Discovery SARL, Birrimian Pty Ltd and Birrimian BVI SARL from 100% to 49% as a result of Progress Minerals Inc earning 51% in the Burkina Faso Joint Venture by spending US $1m. Additionally, in the prior year with Toro Gold Ltd earning 65% of the Cote D’Ivoire Toro Gold Joint Venture by spending US $2.5m, Predictive Discovery Limited reduced its investment in Predictive Discovery Cote D’Ivoire SARL from 100% to 35%. As a consequence, Predictive Discovery Limited lost control of the entities previously consolidated and reducing the investments to one of significant influence over these investment and the investment was reclassified from a consolidated Joint Arrangement to an associate (refer note 24 for further detail of deconsolidation). The carrying amount of the investment at the time of the transaction was $840,645, The Group’s accounting policy (refer note 1(m)) for acquisitions of associates is to deconsolidate the previously consolidated joint arrangement, carry the investment at cost (being fair value in this instance) plus post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the associates.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES
Exposure to key financial risks is managed in accordance with the Group’s risk management policy with the objective to ensure that the financial risks inherent in exploration activities are identified and then managed or kept as low as reasonably practicable.
46 | 2019 Annual Report
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019
NOTE 13: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
The main financial risks that arise in the normal course of business are market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. Different methods are used to measure and manage these risk exposures. Liquidity risk is monitored through the ongoing review of available cash and future commitments for exploration expenditure.
Exposure to liquidity risk is limited by anticipating liquidity shortages and ensures capital can be raise in advance of shortages. Interest rate risk is managed by limiting the amount of interest bearing loans entered into by the Group. It is the Board's policy that no speculative trading in financial instruments be undertaken so as to limit expose to price risk.
Primary responsibility for identification and control of financial risks rests with the Company Secretary, under the authority of the Board. The Board is apprised of these risks from time to time and agrees any policies that may be undertaken to manage any of the risks identified.
Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, in respect of each financial instrument are disclosed in Note 1 to the financial statements. The carrying values less the impairment allowance for receivables and payables are assumed to approximate fair values due to their short term nature. Cash and cash equivalents are subject to variable interest rates.
SPECIFIC FINANCIAL RISK EXPOSURES AND MANAGEMENT
(A) CREDIT RISK
Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counter parties of contract obligations that could lead to a financial loss to the Group.
The Group trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties.
The Group has no customers and consequently no significant exposure to bad debts or other credit risks.
With respect to credit risk arising from financial assets, which comprise cash and cash equivalents and receivables, the exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counter party, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. At balance date cash and deposits were held with Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited.
(B) LIQUIDITY RISK
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities.
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash reserves to meet the ongoing operational requirements of the business. It is the Group’s policy to maintain sufficient funds in cash and cash equivalents. Furthermore, the Group monitors its ongoing exploration cash requirements and raises equity funding as and when appropriate to meet such planned requirements. The Group has no undrawn financing facilities. Trade and other payables, the only financial liability of the Group, are due within 6 months.
The tables below reflect an undiscounted contractual maturity analysis for financial liabilities.
Cash flows realised from financial assets reflect management's expectation as to the timing of realisation. Actual timing may therefore differ from that disclosed. The timing of cash flows presented in the table to settle financial liabilities reflects the earliest contractual settlement dates and does not reflect management's expectations that banking facilities will be rolled forward.

The financial assets and liabilities noted above are interest free.
(C) MARKET RISK
i. Foreign exchange risk
Exposure to foreign exchange risk may result in the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument fluctuating due to movement in foreign exchange rates of currencies in which the Group holds foreign currency which are other than the AUD functional currency of the Group.
ii. Interest rate risk
The Group’s cash flow interest rate risk primarily arises from cash at bank and deposits subject to market bank rates. At balance date, the Group does not have any borrowings. The Group does not enter into hedges. The weighted average rate of interest earned by the Group on its cash assets during the year was 1.23% (2018: 1.23%). The table below summarises the sensitivity of the Group’s cash assets to interest rate risk.

RECOVERABILITY OF INTERCOMPANY LOAN
Within Non-current assets is a loan due from the 100% subsidiaries of $300,415 which is considered fully recoverable. The recoverability of this loan is dependent upon the successful development or sale of exploration assets in Burkina Faso and Cote D’Ivoire.
NOTE 24 – LOSS OF CONTROL – CONTROLLED ENTITIES
As detailed in Note 7, during the year ended 30 June 2018, the Company’s effective shareholdings in Predictive Discovery SARL, Birrimian Pty Ltd, Birrimian BVI SARL, Burkina Resources Pty Ltd and Burkina Resources SARL changed from 100% to 49% due to Progress Minerals Inc attaining 51% earn in. In the prior year, the Company's effective holding in Predictive Discovery Cote D'Ivoire SARL changed to 35% as a result of Toro Gold Ltd attaining 65% earn in. The directors considered the requirement of the applicable accounting standard and determined that 30 June 2018 the Company no longer deemed these four entities and their respective subsidiaries to be controlled by Predictive Discovery Limited.
As a result of control over the investments being reduced to significant influence over these investments, the investments were reclassified from a consolidated Joint Arrangement to an associate. The carrying amount of the investment at the time of the transaction was $840,645, The Group’s accounting policy (refer note 1(m)) for acquisitions of associates is to deconsolidate the previously consolidated joint arrangement, carry the investment at cost (being fair value in this instance) plus post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the associates.

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Predictive Discovery Limited (the company), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019, 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, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the company and the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.
In our opinion the financial report of Predictive Discovery Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
i) Giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2019 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; 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. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibility section of our report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1(t) in the financial report, which indicated that the consolidated entity incurred a net loss after tax of $1,459,332 during the year ended 30 June 2019 (2018: net loss after tax of $1,474,046). This, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1(t), indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the consolidated entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
The financial report of the consolidated entity does not include any adjustments in relation to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the consolidated entity not continue as a going concern.
Independence
We are independent of the consolidated entity 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 (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.

Key Audit Matters
==> picture [129 x 108] intentionally omitted <==
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. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.
1. Carrying value of capitalised exploration expenditure
Why significant How our audit addressed the key audit matter
As at 30 June 2019 the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets was $1,923,318 (2018: $2,189,364) which represents 48.4% of total assets and the total impairment recognised during the year was $474,091, as disclosed in Note 6.
The consolidated entity’s accounting policy in respect of exploration and evaluation expenditure is outlined in Note 1(k) with the nature of critical estimates and judgements relating to this balance outlined in Note 1(t). Significant judgement is required:
-
in determining whether facts and circumstances indicate that the exploration and evaluation assets should be tested for impairment in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources (“AASB 6”); and
-
in determining the treatment of exploration and evaluation expenditure in accordance with AASB 6, and the consolidated entity’s accounting policy. In particular:
-
whether areas of interest meet the recognition conditions for an asset; and
-
owhich elements of exploration and evaluation expenditures qualify for capitalisation for each area of interest.
Our work included, but was not limited to, the following procedures:
-
to assess whether there are indicators of impairment:
-
assessing whether the rights to tenure of the areas of interest remained current at reporting date as well as confirming that rights to tenure are expected to be renewed for tenements that will expire in the near future;
-
obtaining specific representations from the directors and management as to the status of ongoing exploration programmes for the areas of interest, as well as assessing if there was evidence that a decision had been made to discontinue activities in any specific areas of interest; and
-
obtaining and assessing evidence of the consolidated entity’s future intention for the areas of interest, including reviewing future budgeted expenditure and related work programmes;
-
considering whether exploration activities for the areas of interest had reached a stage where a reasonable assessment of economically recoverable reserves existed;
-
testing, on a sample basis, exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred during the year for compliance with AASB 6 and the consolidated entity’s accounting policy; and
-
assessing the appropriateness of the related disclosures in Notes 1(k), 1 (t) and 6.

2. Equity accounting for Interest in Joint Ventures
Why significant
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Our work included, but was not limited to, the following procedures:
The consolidated entity has various Interests in Associates that have a total value as at 30 June 2019 of $747,568 (2018: $840,645). This balance solely relates to the 49% interest in Predictive Discovery SARL (PD SARL) in Burkina Faso, as the other interests have been impaired to nil. This represents 18.8% of total assets.
-
We considered the control relationship to confirm that equity accounting is appropriate in accordance with AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures;
-
We performed the relevant audit procedures in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards on the material assets, liabilities and expenditure within each of the material associates management accounts provided, in particular:
The consolidated entity’s accounting policy in respect of associates is outlined in Note 1(m).
At 30 June 2019, a share of the loss of associates was recognised in the statement of profit or loss of $129,435, of which $113,776 related to PD SARL. An additional share of loss amount of $237,193 has not been recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss relating to the other associates as these are carried at nil value. This is disclosed within note 7 to the financial report.
-
Existence and valuation of capitalised exploration expenditure pursuant to AASB 6;
-
Recoverability of receivables;
-
Valuation and existence of fixed assets;
As disclosed in note 7, these associates are equity accounted in accordance with the requirements of AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures and disclosures set out in AASB 12 Disclosures of Interest in Other Entities.
-
Completeness and valuation of loans; and
-
Occurrence and existence of expenditure.
-
• We assessed the appropriateness of the related disclosures in Note 1(m), 1 (t) and 7 to ensure they are in accordance with AASB 12 Disclosures of Interest in Other Entities.
Other Information
Other information is financial and non-financial information in the annual report of the consolidated entity which is provided in addition to the Financial Report and the Auditor’s Report. The directors are responsible for Other Information in the annual report.
Our opinion on the Financial Report does not cover the Other Information and, accordingly, the auditor does not and will not express an audit opinion or any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of the Remuneration Report.
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 in the Financial Report and based on the work we have performed on the Other Information that we obtained prior the date of this Auditor’s Report we have nothing to report.
Directors’ Responsibilities 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 Note 1, the Directors also state, in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that the financial report complies with International Financial Reporting Standards.
58 | 2019 Annual Report
==> picture [128 x 107] intentionally omitted <==
In preparing the financial report, the Directors are responsible for assessing the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using a going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the consolidated entity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. 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 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 aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
As part of an audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report.
The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control.
The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.
We conclude on the appropriateness of the Directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the consolidated entity to cease to continue as a going concern.
We evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the consolidated entity to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
The Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements. We also provide the Directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
2019 Annual Report | 59
==> picture [54 x 85] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [128 x 108] intentionally omitted <==
From the matters communicated with the Directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Report on the Remuneration Report
Opinion
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2019. In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Predictive Discovery Limited for the year ended 30 June 2019, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
Responsibilities
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
