Chairman’s Letter

Dear Shareholders,

It is my great privilege to present this Annual Report to you following a very successful year of exploration and advancement for Predictive Discovery.

Firstly, I would like to take this opportunity to thank our key stakeholders, including our employees, local communities, suppliers, shareholders and the Government of Guinea. The ongoing progress towards the development of Africa’s next Tier 1 gold mine requires the cooperation and support of all these stakeholders and I am delighted to report that that we are making steady progress hand in hand with all of these crucial groups.

In late September 2021, the Company surprised the market when it released its maiden Resource Estimate of 3.65 million ounces, for an inferred Mineral Resource of 72.8 million tonnes at 1.56g/t Au[1] .

This first Resource was a significant milestone for the Company and announced the arrival of Bankan as one of the largest new gold discoveries in West Africa over the past decade.

Post this initial Resource, Bankan continued to progress with some of the best gold exploration results globally under new Managing Director Andrew Pardey, who was joined in the Management team by Norman Bailie as Geology Manager. Under the guidance of these two vastly experienced Geologists and their team, Bankan is continuing to grow.

This growth is evidenced by the increase in the Resource estimate at Bankan to 79.5 million tonnes at 1.63 g/t Au for 4.2 million ounces[2] . Pleasingly, this Resource update released in August 2022, illustrates an increase in Resource grade as the NE Bankan Resource includes more of the high grade material being explored at depth.

In parallel with exploration, Predictive has commenced along the path to development of Bankan, with the Company launching a range of studies and programs, designed to sustainably progress the Project through to production.

Complimenting a 60,000-meter drilling program, the Company launched baseline environmental and biodiversity studies, including stakeholder mapping and engagement with communities, government ministries, regulators, local interest groups and NGO’s.

The Company is targeting the delivery of a comprehensive Scoping Study to the Government of Guinea by the end of 2023 and is well positioned to become Guinea’s largest gold mine within five years with a clear strategy to grow the resource base and take Bankan into production.

This gradual change to a development focussed Company was bolstered by numerous notable management hires, including; Pierre Louw (Chief Financial Officer), Marlyatou Balde (Country Manager), Andre Pieters (ESG Manager) and Chris Boreham (Project Feasibility Manager) as well as numerous industry-leading Project and ESG consultants.

You should take great comfort in the tremendous work done to date by Andrew and his team to develop our Company and its people, incorporating the unequivocal buyin across the entire organisation, while also continuing to grow Bankan into a significant gold deposit.

1 Refer to ASX release dated 30 September 2021. 2 Refer to ASX release dated 1 August 2022.

3 Predictive Discovery Annual Report 2022

On behalf of the Board, I thank Andrew and the entire Predictive team for their dedicated and sustained efforts. I would also like to extend my personal thanks to my fellow nonexecutive Board members, Sandra Bates and Steven Michael, for their support and advice during the year.

Finally, I would like to thank the Government of Guinea for their support and consultation, and continuing to engage with Predictive constructively as we look to work through the various development studies on a pathway to development at Bankan into the largest gold mine in Guinea.

I thank all Predictive shareholders for your continued support and looking forward to the coming year.

Yours Sincerely

Simon Jackson Non-Executive Chairman

Review of Operations

About the BANKAN GOLD PROJECT

The Bankan gold camp is situated in northeast Guinea, West Africa. The project is 550km by road from Guinea’s capital Conakry within the region of Upper Guinea (Haute-Guinée) and is near the regional administrative centre of Kouroussa.

The Bankan project area covers 356km[2] in four exploration permits, Kaninko, Saman, Bokoro and Argo. Three permits are held by wholly owned subsidiaries of Predictive. The fourth, Argo, is held in a joint venture with the owners of local company Argo Mining SARLU, through which the company has the right to acquire 100% equity at decision-to-mine.

Geologically, the Bankan gold camp lies in the south-western portion of the Siguiri Basin, a component of the early Proterozoic Birimian orogenic belt in north-eastern Guinea. The Siguiri Basin is largely composed of turbiditic sediments with lesser mafic volcanics and minor felsic intrusives. The geology in the immediate Bankan area consists of shelf sedimentary rocks (conglomerates, sandstones, shales and limestones), mafic volcanics and intrusives and felsic intrusives, the latter generally ranging from tonalite to quartz diorite in composition.

BANKAN PROJECT

3.65 million-ounce Bankan Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate

On 30 September 2021, the Company released its Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for the Bankan Gold Project - the Total Inferred Mineral Resource of 72.8 million tonnes at 1.56g/t Au for 3.65 million ounces of gold.

The maiden MRE was defined in only 17 months since the discovery drillholes were reported, highlighting the rapid growth of the Bankan Project. The MRE was delivered with a Resource discovery cost of $4/oz (US$2.90/oz), very low-cost by industry standards.

  5. Rounding may lead to minor apparent discrepancies.

  6. Refer to ASX release dated 30 September 2021.

The maiden MRE was based on assays and information from 147 reverse circulation drillholes for 14,973m, 28 diamond drillholes for 6,005m, 32 RC/DDH drillholes for 9,486m and 47 aircore drillholes for 2,231m.

Excellent metallurgical testwork results

During the reporting period, the Company completed initial scoping-level metallurgical testwork for the Bankan Gold Project, with excellent gold recoveries returned under standard test conditions.

included:

  • Cyanide leach recoveries from all gold mineralisation types ranged from 94.2% to 98.5% under optimised conditions (75-micron grind, 24 hours).

  • Very good leaching kinetics with at least 94% of extractable gold dissolution within 24 hours.

  • Gravity gold recoveries ranging from 13.1% to 37% with values from the tonalite and tonalite-skarn ore ranging from 19.6% to 37%.

Bankan gold mineralisation has been confirmed as free-milling with high gold recoveries, and is amenable to a simple, industry-standard comminution and carbonin-leach process circuit.

Review of Operations

NE Bankan Deposit

During financial year 2022, diamond drilling at NE Bankan continued, designed to extend and infill the high-grade gold zone at depth below the US$1,800/oz optimised pit shell containing the MRE.

Deep drilling at NE Bankan continued to target the plunge extension of the highgrade shoot and consolidating an inferred resource update.

The drilling intercepts reported during the financial year include the deepest high-grade intercepts discovered on the project to date, with a number of standout results, including DD-hole BNERD0113 returning 24m @ 5.5g/t Au[3] .

BNERD0113 is the deepest intercept recorded to date and further extends mineralisation a further 300 metres downdip. This result was approximately 630m down dip and 370m vertically below the bottom of the 2021 Maiden Resource Estimate US$1,800/oz pit shell.

Also at NE Bankan, a detailed 10m x 10m angled RC Grade Control Program commenced, designed to investigate the shortrange variability on the mineralisation within the upper fresh and oxide expression of the high-grade shoot and NE Bankan.

Review of Operations

Bankan Project Regional Drilling

Following the discovery of the NE Bankan deposit, the Company undertook a helicopter-borne magnetic and radiometric survey on a 100m-line spacing covering the entire project area. A detailed geological interpretation based on processed magnetic data over the immediate NE Bankan area showed that gold mineralisation coincides with the intersection of a series of ENEorientated and NW orientated magnetic linears, on or close to the contact between granitic rocks and mafic volcanics.

The lithological and structural elements controlling mineralisation recognised at NE Bankan have provided a model for gold exploration across the Bankan Project with potential to host multiple “NE Bankan-style” gold deposits.

The Company deployed one AC and two power auger rigs to follow-up the new targets with 13,000m of AC and power auger drilling completed in the past four months. AC and power auger are both fast and relatively cheap exploration methods.

Koundian Project

Located within the Birimian-age Siguiri Basin approximately 115km east-northeast of the Company’s 3.65Moz Bankan Gold Project, the Koundian Project contains widespread gold.

Results from 63 holes, totalling 2,854m, were released at ASX on 19 May 2022 with the drilling carried out on a series of traverses testing potentially well mineralised structures including two areas of extensive shallow artisanal gold workings. New results included a best intercept of 6m @ 3.1g/t Au from 18m (KDNAC0010).

A 63-sample rock chip program returned multiple +2g/t Au values with a peak result of 18.8g/tAu in brecciated haematitic quartz veins to the south in exploration permit SMK2. A total of 26% of all samples reported >1g/t Au.

Review of Operations

Victoria

In July 2020, Predictive confirmed its participation in a joint venture with Petratherm Limited (ASX: PTR) and Cape Clear Minerals Pty Ltd (CCM) on the Glenfine Gold Project in Victoria. Predictive previously held a 25% equity over two of the three Exploration Licences in the Glenfine Gold Project (ELs 5534 and 5537) through an unincorporated joint venture with CCM. Under the new JV agreement, PTR had the right to earn an 80% equity in the entire Glenfine Gold Project by expenditure of $3 million, which, if achieved, would leave PDI

and CCM jointly holding a 20% equity in the Project.

In December 2020, PTR transferred it interest and rights in the Glenfine Gold Project to Outback Goldfields (CSE: OZ) and OZ has been exploring the project since that time. Predictive’s interest in the Glenfine Gold Project dates back to 2012.

Given the Company’s focus on West Africa and minority position in the joint venture with CCM, this is a legacy interest for PDI.

Corporate

PREDICTIVE DISCOVERY LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ACN 127 171 877 DIRECTORS’ REPORT REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

In Financial Year 2021-22, Predictive made substantial progress developing a 4.2MOZ Inferred Resource at the Bankan gold project located in Guinea. The Bankan gold camp is situated in north-east Guinea, West Africa. The project is 550km by road from Guinea’s capital Conakry within the region of Upper Guinea (Haute-Guinée) and is near the regional administrative centre of Kouroussa, a city of approximately 50,000 inhabitants.

The Bankan project area covers 356km[2] in four exploration permits Kaninko, Saman, Bokoro and Argo. Three permits are held by wholly owned subsidiaries of Predictive. The fourth, Argo, is held in a joint venture with the owners of local company Argo Mining SARLU, through which the company has the right to acquire 100% equity at decision-to-mine.

Since the initial Maiden Inferred Resource was reported on 30 September 2021, drilling at Bankan has been focused on growing the NE Bankan Deposit and the high-grade zone beneath the 2021 Maiden Resource Estimate US$1,800/oz pit shell. Resource drilling continued in FY22 as part of the continued growth strategy, in parallel with aircore and power auger programmes being completed across the Bankan project, testing structural target areas interpreted from the aeromagnetic survey across the project area.

The Mineral Resource Estimate for the Bankan Project is shown in Table 1, reported at a 0.5 g/t Au cut-off grade and constrained by the open pit optimisation, along with the remaining Lower HG outside the optimised pit at NE Bankan, considered as an underground resource.

The resource and grade-tonnage tables are as follows:

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 increased by $37,788,338 from 30 June 2021 to 30 June 2022. This net movement is largely due to the following factors:

  • $42m net capital raising;

  • Expenditure on exploring and evaluating the assets in Guinea.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN STATE OF AFFAIRS

No significant changes in the Group’s state of affairs occurred during the financial year.

EVENTS AFTER THE END OF REPORTING PERIOD

The following events have occurred subsequent to the year ended 30 June 2022:

  • (i) On 1 July 2022, the Company advises that application monies received from the Share Purchase Plan was $2,894,700;

  • (ii) Approval to issue 10,000,000 options and 16,000,000 ZEPOS at a shareholder meeting on 18 July 2022, which were issued to directors on 20 July 2022

  • (iii) Approval of the 2[nd] tranche of the May 2022 Placement shares on 18 July 2022, which were issued on 22 July 2022 i.e., 99,359,878 at $0.18 per share;

  • (iv) Announcement of 4.2MOZ Inferred Resource at Bankan on 2 August 2022; and

  • (v) Conversion of Options to Shares at various dates and amounts.

The Company recognises the current global COVID-19 pandemic may impact on its operations. Specifically, government restrictions may:

  • (i) prevent Company staff or contractors from carrying out their exploration activities; or

  • (ii) impede the supply of equipment or other exploration consumables required to do the exploration work.

The nature and extent of the effect of the outbreak on the performance of the Company remains unknown. The Company’s share price may be adversely affected in the short to medium term by the economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19. Further, any governmental or industry measures taken in response to COVID-19 may adversely impact the Company’s operations and are likely to be beyond the control of the Company. The ability to freely move people and equipment to and from exploration projects may cause delays or cost increases.

PREDICTIVE DISCOVERY LIMITED ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT

25

PREDICTIVE DISCOVERY LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ACN 127 171 877 DIRECTORS’ REPORT EVENTS AFTER THE END OF REPORTING PERIOD (Continued)

The effects of COVID-19 on the Company's share price may also impede the ability to raise capital, or require the Company to issue capital at a discount, which may in turn cause dilution to shareholders.

There has not been any other matter or circumstance arising after the balance date that has significantly affected or could significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in future financial years.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

Likely developments in the operations of the Group and the expected results of those operations in future financial years have not been included in this report, as the inclusion of such information is likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group.

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

The Group’s operations are subject to significant environmental regulations under the Commonwealth and State legislation in Australia and under local legislative authorities in Guinea and Burkina Faso. The Board believes that the Group has adequate systems in place for the management of its environmental regulations and is not aware of a breach of those environmental requirements as they apply to the Group.

PREDICTIVE DISCOVERY LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ACN 127 171 877 DIRECTORS’ REPORT

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.

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.

PREDICTIVE DISCOVERY LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ACN 127 171 877 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

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 20 September 2022. 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 22 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.

PREDICTIVE DISCOVERY LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ACN 127 171 877 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

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:

  • 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.

PREDICTIVE DISCOVERY LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ACN 127 171 877 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(a) Principles of consolidation (continued)

(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 non-controlling 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.

(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).

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(c) 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.

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.

(d) 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.

PREDICTIVE DISCOVERY LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ACN 127 171 877 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(e) 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.

(f) 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.

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.

(g) 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.

(h) 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.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(h) Investments and other financial assets (continued)

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, its 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.

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.

(i) 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.

Depreciation

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:

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.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(i) Property, Plant and Equipment ( continued )

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.

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.

(j) 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.

(k) 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.

PREDICTIVE DISCOVERY LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ACN 127 171 877 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(k) Impairment of Assets (continued)

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).

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.

(l) 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 post-acquisition 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 equal 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.

(m) 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.

(n) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian 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.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(o) 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.

(p) 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.

(q) 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 sharebased 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.

(r) 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. $37,376,965 has been capitalised as at 30 June 2022 (see note 8). 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 13. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact expenses and equity.

(r) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements (continued)

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 $38,591,578 is considered fully recoverable. The recoverability of this loan is dependent upon the successful development or sale of exploration assets in Guinea.

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.

Key judgements - Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

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

(s) Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards

The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are mandatory for the current reporting period. The adoption of these new and revised Accounting Standards and Interpretations has not resulted in a significant or material change to the Group’s accounting policies.

Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted by the consolidated entity.

The provision for foreign indirect taxes is in respect of the Company’s tenements held in Guinea. At 30 June 2021, the value added tax (VAT) for prior periods up to December 2020 was disclosed as a contingent liability as the magnitude of this liability could not be reliably determined, pending formal assessment by the Guinea tax authorities. Subsequently, this liability was confirmed at $243,384 and fully paid during the year ended 30 June 2022.

In addition, a VAT provision of $1,439,510 for the period from 1 January to 30 November 2021 has been made based on a final assessment of the tax liability by independent tax advisors in Guinea. The total provision for foreign indirect taxes at 30 June 2022 amounts to $1,774,265 (refer to note 9).

The Group has capitalised exploration expenditure of $37,376,965 (30 June 2021: $15,505,090). This amount includes costs directly associated with exploration and the purchase of exploration properties. These costs are capitalised as an exploration asset until assessment and / or drilling of the permit is complete and the results have been evaluated. These direct costs include employee remuneration, materials, permit rentals and payments to contractors. The expenditure is carried forward until such a time as the area moves into the development phase, is abandoned or sold. The ultimate recovery of the carrying value of exploration expenditure is dependent upon the successful development and commercial exploitation or, alternatively, sale of the interest in the tenements. The Directors are of the opinion that the exploration expenditure is recoverable for the amount stated in the financial report.

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.

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 Chief Financial Officer, 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.

NOTE 20: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

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.

NOTE 20: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

SPECIFIC FINANCIAL RISK EXPOSURES AND MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)

(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 0.02% (2021: 0.04%). The table below summarises the sensitivity of the Group’s cash assets to interest rate risk.

NOTE 21: EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE REPORTING PERIOD

The following events have occurred subsequent to the year ended 30 June 2022:

  • (i) On 1 July 2022, the Company advises that application monies received from the Share Purchase Plan was $2,894,700;

  • (ii) Approval to issue 10,000,000 options and 16,000,000 ZEPOS at a shareholder meeting on 18 July 2022, which were issued to directors on 20 July 2022

  • (iii) Approval of the 2[nd] tranche of the May 2022 Placement shares on 18 July 2022, which were issued on 22 July 2022 i.e., 99,359,878 at $0.18 per share;

  • (iv) Announcement of 4.2MOZ Inferred Resource at Bankan on 2 August 2022; and

  • (v) Conversion of Options to Shares at various dates and amounts.

The Company recognises the current global COVID-19 pandemic may impact on its operations. Specifically, government restrictions may:

  • (i) prevent Company staff or contractors from carrying out their exploration activities; or

  • (ii) impede the supply of equipment or other exploration consumables required to do the exploration work

The nature and extent of the effect of the outbreak on the performance of the Company remains unknown. The Company’s share price may be adversely affected in the short to medium term by the economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19. Further, any governmental or industry measures taken in response to COVID-19 may adversely impact the Company’s operations and are likely to be beyond the control of the Company. The ability to freely move people and equipment to and from exploration projects may cause delays or cost increases. The effects of COVID-19 on the Company's share price may also impede the ability to raise capital, or require the Company to issue capital at a discount, which may in turn cause dilution to shareholders.

Key Audit Matters

==> picture [143 x 120] intentionally omitted <==

A key audit matter is a matter that, in our professional judgement, was of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current year. 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 audit opinion on these matters. For the matter below, our description of how our audit addressed these matters are provided in that context.

1. Valuation of capitalised exploration expenditure

Why significant

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

As at 30 June 2022 the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets was $37,376,965 (2021: $15,505,090), as disclosed in Note 8. This represents 46.4% of total assets of the consolidated entity, after an impairment of capitalised exploration expenditure of $2,011,363 had been recorded.

The consolidated entity’s accounting policy in respect of exploration and evaluation expenditure is outlined in Note 1(j) with the nature of critical estimates and judgements relating to this balance outlined in Note 1(r). 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 the particular areas of interest meet the recognition conditions for an asset; and

  • which 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:

  • conducting a detailed review of management’s assessment of impairment trigger events prepared in accordance with AASB 6 including:

  • 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 with 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

  • reviewing the impairment calculations provided and related assumptions and disclosures in Notes 1(j), 1(r) and 8 for accuracy and completeness.

66

PKF Perth

2. Share Based Payments

Why significant

For the year ended 30 June 2022, the value of share based payments issued totalled $1,174,543 as disclosed in Note 13. This has been recognised as a share-based payment expense of $731,130 in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income and a share issue cost of $443,413 within issued capital in the Statement of Financial Position.

The consolidated entity’s accounting judgement and estimates in respect of share-based payments is outlined in Note 1(q) and (r). Significant judgement is required in relation to:

  • The valuation method used in the model; and

  • The assumptions and inputs used within the model.

==> picture [143 x 121] intentionally omitted <==

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Our work included, but was not limited to, the following procedures:

  • Reviewed the company’s valuations of the equity instruments issued, including:

  • assessing the appropriateness of the valuation method used; and

  • assessing the reasonableness of the assumptions and inputs used within the valuation model.

  • Reviewed Board meeting minutes and ASX announcements as well as enquired of relevant personnel to ensure all share-based payments had been recognised;

  • Assessed the allocation and recognition to ensure these are reasonable; and

  • Assessed the appropriateness of the related disclosures in Notes 1(q), 1(r) and 13.

Other Information

Those charged with governance are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the consolidated entity’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2022 but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.

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

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

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

Responsibilities of Directors’ for the Financial Report

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

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

67

PKF Perth

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report

==> picture [143 x 121] intentionally omitted <==

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. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 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.

  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 consolidated entity’s internal control.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Directors.

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.

  • 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.

  • 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 group financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group 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.

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, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.

68

==> picture [143 x 121] intentionally omitted <==

PKF Perth

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 the 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 2022.

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Predictive Discovery Limited for the year ended 30 June 2022 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.
