Dear Shareholder,

In what has been a transformational year for your company, it gives me great pleasure to bring you QMines Annual Report for 2021.

Project Acquisitions

On the 24 December 2020, the Company acquired rights to 100% of four advanced copper and gold projects located in Queensland. Two of these projects, Mt Chalmers and Warroo, are historic producing mines.

The Company’s flagship project, Mt Chalmers, is located 17km North East of Rockhampton. The Project is a high-grade historic mine that produced 1.2Mt @ 3.6g/t Au, 2.0% Cu and 19g/t Ag¹ between 1898-1982 making the mine one of the highest gold grade VHMS deposits in the world².

Maiden Resource & Exploration Targets

Prior to the acquisition, the Company completed an extensive due diligence and historic data digitisation program. This program allowed QMines to publish a maiden Resource (JORC 2012) at Mt Chalmers of 3.9Mt @ 1.15% Cu, 0.81g/t Au and 8.4g/t Ag¹.

The Company also published three Exploration Targets (JORC 2012) within close proximity to the existing Mt Chalmers mine. These Exploration Targets and the results of an extensive regional soil digitisation program, announced after year end, underpin our belief that there is strong potential to discover additional VHMS style deposits at Mt Chalmers.

Oversubscribed IPO

On the 6th May 2021, the Company completed its planned ASX listing, raising $11.58 million after scale back, with Shaw & Partners acting as Lead Manager to the transaction.

Since listing, QMines is now one of Australia’s premier brownfield copper and gold explorers and developers and is fully funded to roll out its planned growth strategy.

Why Queensland?

Queensland has thirteen tier one mines in operation, the largest number of copper mines of any state in Australia. The state also has extensive existing infrastructure with several ports, substantial electricity and gas networks, extensive rail infrastructure and is the closest state to Asia, the largest consumer of copper, gold in the world.

The abundance of infrastructure at the Mt Chalmers mine site provides QMines with a low capex advantage that reduces the capital required to execute its growth strategy.

Growth Strategy

The Company’s growth strategy involves a highly active exploration program at our flagship Mt Chalmers mine. The aim of the program is to grow the existing resource, demonstrate sufficient scale and, overtime, transition the mine towards production.

With a 30,000m drilling program planned over the next two years, QMines is one of the most active copper and gold explorers on the ASX. This provides shareholders with significant leverage to exploration success.

VHMS Deposit

Mt Chalmers is a Volcanic Hosted Massive Sulphide (VHMS) deposit. These deposits are typically characterised by multiple deposits within a cluster. QMines technical team believe there is strong potential of finding further VHMS mineralisation around the existing mine site. And our early exploration works are starting to yield results!

Maiden Drilling Results

The Company’s maiden diamond drilling program provided some exciting early insights as to the potential of Mt Chalmers. Some of the maiden results include³:

  • 10.8m @ 2.08% Cu, 2.97g/t Au and 55g/t Ag from 54.2 metres;

  • 10.6m @ 2.06% Cu, 0.43g/t Au and 3g/t Ag from 133.8 metres;

  • 38.1m @ 1.55% Cu, 1.05g/t Au and 3g/t Ag from 132.6 metres;

  • 9.5m @ 1.91% Cu, 1.02g/t Au and 5g/t Ag; within

  • 40.3m @ 0.81% Cu, 0.41g/t Au and 2g/t Ag from 48.3 metres; and

  • 6.0m @ 3.55% Cu, 1.03g/t Au and 5g/t Ag from 141.8 metres to EOH.

These were followed up with the following results, released post year end, that identified areas of strong zinc and lead anomalism which previous explorers hadn’t assayed for. They include[4] :

  • 7.5m @ 0.75g/t Au, 23g/t Ag, 0.24% Cu, 3.5% Pb and 7.4% Zn from 70.5 metres; including

  • 2.2m @ 0.85g/t Au, 41g/t Ag, 0.54% Cu, 8.3% Pb and 16.8% Zn from 72.5 metres.

  • 8.7m @ 0.73g/t Au, 26g/t Ag, 0.34% Cu, 1.7% Pb and 4.4% Zn from 21.2 metres;

  • 15.2m @ 2.36g/t Au, 0.67% Cu from 139 metres; including

  • 2m @ 9.31g/t Au and 1.34% Cu from 154 metres; and

  • 14.6m @ 1.01% Cu from 185 metres.

Land Acquisition

QMines has gone to significant effort to set up a functional base of operations at Mt Chalmers. This commenced on 30th April 2021 with the acquisition of 126 acres of land and a house that adjoins the mine site. The Company’s staff have done a fantastic job of setting up a site office, staff accommodation facilities and a substantial technical base for our operations. This investment will allow the Company to deploy its planned exploration program in a timely and cost effective manner. It will also allow the Company to operate year-round and despite the recent challenges associated with the pandemic and lockdowns.

Conclusion

Underlying the Company’s large exploration strategy is a strong belief in our projects and that a systematic exploration program will, over time, yield results.

With the copper price experiencing strong growth in recent times, we believe that QMines is well positioned to leverage the strong interest in the sector.

On behalf of the Board, I wish to thank our shareholders, staff, project vendors, the local community and our advisors for all their hard work in making this a reality.

I believe we are well positioned to generate significant value for our shareholders and I look forward to keeping you informed on what is bound to be another exciting year for your company.

Yours sincerely,

MT CHALMERS PROJECT

The Mt Chalmers Project, situated 17km North-East of Rockhampton, with a total tenement package of approximately 316km² (application and granted). The Group has recently extended the Mt Chalmers tenement package, applying for EPM 27726 and EPM 27899 and (through its acquisition of Rocky Copper Pty Ltd and Dynasty Gold Pty Ltd) acquired the tenements EPM 27697, EPM 27428 and EPM 25935.

The Mt Chalmers deposit was last mined in an open pit by Mount Morgan Limited between 1979 and 1982, before closing because of low commodity prices. Significant mineralisation remains at the Mt Chalmers Project. H&S Consultants has compiled an Inferred Resources under the JORC Code 2012 for the Mt Chalmers project, as summarised in the table below.

MT CHALMERS PROJECT

The Company recently completed a diamond drilling program with outstanding results. Mt Chalmers has not been drilled since 1995 and the recent program has delivered numerous high-grade intersections with bonanza grades including;

  • 10.8m @ 2.08% Cu, 2.97g/t Au and 55g/t Ag from 54.2 metres;

  • 10.6m @ 2.06% Cu, 0.43g/t Au and 3g/t Ag from 133.8 metres;

  • 38.1m @ 1.55% Cu, 1.05g/t Au and 3g/t Ag from 132.6 metres;

  • 9.5m @ 1.91% Cu, 1.02g/t Au and 5g/t Ag; within

  • including 40.3m @ 0.81% Cu, 0.41g/t Au and 2g/t Ag from 48.3 metres; and

  • 6.0m @ 3.55% Cu, 1.03g/t Au and 5g/t Ag from 141.8 metres to

  • EOH.

QMines views the Mt Chalmers Project as a brownfield opportunity, with the potential to rapidly expand and upgrade the Mt Chalmers existing resource. QMines also intends to explore for additional mineralisation of a similar style close to the existing Mt Chalmers open pit, particularly along strike and down dip of the existing resource.

A summary of the Exploration Targets identified at Mt Chalmers Project is included below:

SILVERWOOD PROJECT

The Silverwood Project is located 15km south of the regional centre of Warwick. EPM 27281 and EPM 27724 consists of 78 subblocks (approximately 234km²) covering the greater Silverwood Group domain. The tenements contain a relative abundance of historic mines and mineral occurrences that are prospective for both gold and base metals.

At the Grieves Quarry base metal deposit, drilling was carried out by the Geological Survey of Queensland (GSQ) between 1967 and 1971 where two diamond drilling programs were undertaken for a total of 17 diamond holes for 1,505 metres drilled. The GSQ diamond drilling intercepted numerous intersections of massive sulphide mineralisation at Grieves Quarry. GSQ did not assay for gold, focussing on base metals - copper, zinc, lead and silver. A summary of the Exploration Targets identified at the Silverwood Project is included below:

WARROO PROJECT

The Warroo Project is located 50km west of Stanthorpe in Queensland. The Warroo project consists of EPM 26178 and EPM 27725 consisting of 72 sub-blocks covering an area of approximately 216km².

The Company considers there is potential to define mesozonal to epizonal intrusive related gold mineralisation related to these structural corridors and on extensions to the Warroo and Ti Tree structures. The regional aeromagnetic data shows the Warroo Project to be located east of a large oval magnetic feature that appears to be at moderate depth.

9 DIRECTORS REPORT

HERRIES RANGE PROJECT

The Herries Range gold Project comprises three contiguous EPMs, consisting of 110 sub-blocks covering an area of approximately 330km². The project is situated 40km west of Warwick in south-east Queensland covering the central and southern portions of the Warwick Goldfields.

Alluvial gold deposits are extensive throughout the tenement package. The sources of many of these alluvial workings have never been traced. The extensive alluvial mining in the west of the tenement area, in the Canal Creek Goldfield, had only a few hard-rock occurrences that were worked. Within these goldfields and clusters of mines, QMines has located several historical mines and zones of prospective rock formations associated with both hard-rock and alluvial gold mineralisation.

The Company will undertake early-stage exploration work to progress and identify areas for more detailed follow up including ground-based geophysical surveys, geochemical soil grids and future drill testing.

MATTERS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF THE YEAR

On 13 July 2021 the Group announced the results of further drilling at Mt Chalmers, in which numerous high-grade precious and base metal intersections with outstanding polymetallic grades were delivered.

On 10 August 2021 the Group announced the acquisition of two additional freehold landholdings adjacent to the Mt Chalmers mine site.

No other matters or circumstances have arisen since 30 June 2021 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect:

  • a) The Group’s operations in future financial years; or

  • b) The results of those operations in future financial years; or

  • c) The Group’s state of affairs in future financial years.

13 DIRECTORS REPORT

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)

The remuneration report details the key management personnel remuneration arrangements for the Group, in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations.

Key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, including all directors.

The remuneration report is set out under the following main headings;

  • Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

  • Details of remuneration

  • Service agreements

  • Share-based compensation

  • Additional information

  • Additional disclosures relating to key management personnel

1. PRINCIPLES USED TO DETERMINE THE NATURE AND AMOUNT OF REMUNERATION

The objective of the Group's executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. The framework aligns executive reward with the achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value for shareholders, and it is considered to conform to the market best practice for the delivery of reward. The Board of Directors ('the Board') ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward governance practices:

  • competitiveness and reasonableness

  • acceptability to shareholders

  • performance linkage / alignment of executive compensation

  • transparency

The Board is responsible for determining and reviewing remuneration arrangements for its directors and executives. The performance of the Group depends on the quality of its directors and executives. The remuneration philosophy is to attract, motivate and retain high performance and high quality personnel.

The Board has structured an executive remuneration framework that is market competitive and complementary to the reward strategy of the consolidated entity.

The reward framework is designed to align executive reward to shareholders' interests. The Board have considered that it should seek to enhance shareholders' interests by:

  • having economic profit as a core component of plan design

  • focusing on sustained growth in shareholder wealth, consisting of dividends and growth in share price, and delivering constant or increasing return on assets as well as focusing the executive on key non-financial drivers of value

  • attracting and retaining high calibre executives

Additionally, the reward framework should seek to enhance executives' interests by:

  • rewarding capability and experience

  • reflecting competitive reward for contribution to growth in shareholder wealth

  • providing a clear structure for earning rewards

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive director and executive director remuneration is separate.

14 DIRECTORS REPORT

Non-Executive Directors Remuneration

Fees and payments to non-executive directors reflect the demands and responsibilities of their role. Non-executive directors' fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Board. The Board may, from time to time, receive advice from independent remuneration consultants to ensure non-executive directors' fees and payments are appropriate and in line with the market. The chairman's fees are determined independently to the fees of other directors based on comparative roles in the external market. The chairman is not present at any discussions relating to the determination of his own remuneration. Non-executive directors do not receive share options or other incentives.

ASX Listing Rules require an entity to not increase the total aggregate amount of directors’ fees payable to all of its non-executive directors without the approval of shareholders. QMines’ total aggregate fixed sum per annum to be paid to Directors is set out in the Company’s Constitution, adopted by shareholders when the Company resolved to change Company type and become a public company, on 11 September 2020. It is set at $300,000 per annum and may be varied by ordinary resolution of Shareholders in a general meeting.

Executive Remuneration

The Group aims to reward executives based on their position and responsibility, with a level and mix of remuneration which has both fixed and variable components.

The executive remuneration and reward framework has four components:

  • base pay and non-monetary benefits

  • short-term performance incentives

  • share-based payments

  • other remuneration such as superannuation and long service leave

The combination of these comprises the executive's total remuneration.

Fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary, superannuation and non-monetary benefits, are reviewed annually by the Board based on individual and business unit performance, the overall performance of the consolidated entity and comparable market remunerations.

Executives may receive their fixed remuneration in the form of cash or other fringe benefits (for example motor vehicle benefits) where it does not create any additional costs to the Group and provides additional value to the executive.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED 09 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL PERIOD

For the period ended 30 June 2021.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial report includes the consolidated financial statements and notes of QMines Limited and controlled entities (‘Consolidated Group’ or ‘Group’). The separate financial statements and notes of QMines Limited as an individual parent entity (‘Company’) have not been presented within the financial report as permitted by the Corporations Act 2001.

QMines Ltd is a listed public Company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Directors on 31 August 2021.

Basis of Preparation

The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) 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 to which they apply. 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 reported below. They have been consistently applied unless stated otherwise.

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 non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.

Critical Accounting Estimates

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

a. Parent Entity Information

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

  • b. Principles of Consolidation

A controlled entity is any entity QMines Limited has the power to control the financial and operating policies of so as to obtain benefits from its activities. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 19 to the financial statements. All controlled entities have a 30 June 2021 financial year-end for this current year.

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 period ended. Where controlled entities have entered (or left) the Group during the period, their operating results have been included (or excluded) from the date control was obtained (ceased).

All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the Group, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistencies with those policies applied by the Company.

Where controlled entities have entered or left the Group during the period, their operating results have been included/excluded from the date control was obtained or until the date control ceased.

29 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

c. Operating Segments

Operating segments are presented using the 'management approach', where the information presented is on the same basis as the internal reports provided to Board of Directors. The Board is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.

d. Taxes

The charge for current income tax expense is based on the results for the period adjusted for any non-assessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using the tax rates that have been enacted or are substantially enacted by the balance date.

Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. 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 is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the income statement except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity. The Directors have determined that it is not appropriate to raise any deferred tax assets in relation to estimated tax losses at this time.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.

QMines Limited formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime with its domestic subsidiaries listed under Note 19.

  • e. Current and Non-current Classification

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

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

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

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

f. Plant and Equipment

Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets, apart from freehold land, is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives to the Group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. The estimated useful lives used for each class of depreciable asset are shown below:

Fixed Asset Class Useful life
Office Equipment 5 years
Computer Equipment 4 years
Motor Vehicles 5 years
Exploration Equipment 5 years

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

30

f. Plant and Equipment (Continued)

At the end of each annual reporting period, the depreciation method, useful life and residual value of each asset is reviewed. Any revisions are accounted for prospectively as a change in estimate.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the entity. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss. Any revaluation surplus reserve relating to the item of sale is transferred directly to retained profits.

g. Exploration, Development and Evaluation Expenditure

Exploration, development and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

Currently the practice is to capitalise all expenses that have been incurred and are in direct relation to the exploration of resources. Indirect costs such as administrative and general operational costs will be expensed on the basis that they are necessarily incurred.

Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the period in which the decision to abandon the area is made.

When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves.

A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.

Carrying Value

The tenements held in respect of the Group’s exploration operations comprise a large number of licenses across a large geographic area. There are four projects that the Group is currently exploring and developing. Management has applied their judgement and determined that all of these licenses are to be treated as four separate and distinct areas for the purposes of considering ‘abandoned areas’ or impairment. The costs of acquiring the licenses as well as all subsequent costs have been ascribed to these four projects, and consequently, there are no impairment expenses for expired licenses in unexplored areas outside these four projects.

h. Impairment of Assets

At the end of each financial period, the Company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The assessment will include considering external sources of information and internal 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 amount. Any excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its recoverable amount is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount in accordance with another Standard (e.g. in accordance with the revaluation model in AASB 116). Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease in accordance with that other Standard.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

31 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  • i. Financial Instruments

Recognition, Initial Measurement and Derecognition

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument, and are measured initially at fair value adjusted by transactions costs, except for those carried at fair value through profit or loss, which are measured initially at fair value. Subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities are described below.

Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and all substantial risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.

Classification and Subsequent Measurement of Financial Assets

Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are measured at the transaction price in accordance with AASB 15, all financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs (where applicable).

For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments are classified into the following categories upon initial recognition:

  • amortised cost;

  • fair value through profit or loss (FVPL);

  • equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI); and

  • debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).

All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance costs, finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables which is presented within other expenses.

Classifications are determined by both:

  • The entities business model for managing the financial asset; and

  • The contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets.

All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance costs, finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables, which is presented within other expenses.

Subsequent Measurement Financial Assets

Equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (Equity FVOCI). Investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading are eligible for an irrevocable election at inception to be measured at FVOCI. Under Equity FVOCI, subsequent movements in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit or loss. Dividends from these investments continue to be recorded as other income within the profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents return of capital. This category includes unlisted equity securities that were previously classified as ‘available-for-sale’ under AASB 139.

Impairment of Financial Assets

AASB 9’s impairment requirements use more forward looking information to recognise expected credit losses, the ‘expected credit losses (ECL) model’. Instruments within the scope of the new requirements included loans and other debt-type financial assets measured at amortised cost and FVOCI, trade receivables, contract assets recognised and measured under AASB 15 and loan commitments and some financial guarantee contracts (for the issuer) that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

32

Impairment of Financial Assets (Continued)

The Group considers a broader range of information when assessing credit risk and measuring expected credit losses, including past events, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the expected collectability of the future cash flows of the instrument. In applying this forward-looking approach, a distinction is made between:

  • financial instruments that have not deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition or that have low credit risk (‘Stage 1’) and

  • financial instruments that have deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition and whose credit risk is not low (‘Stage 2’).

  • ‘Stage 3’ would cover financial assets that have objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date.

‘12-month expected credit losses’ are recognised for the first category while ‘lifetime expected credit losses’ are recognised for the second category. Measurement of the expected credit losses is determined by a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses over the expected life of the financial instrument.

  • j. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

  • k. Trade and Other Payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the entity to the end of the financial period and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

  • l. Revenue and Other Income

The Group does not currently have revenue from sale of goods to customers.

Any future revenue from contracts with customers will be recognised as per the requirements of AASB 15, the core principle of which is that Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity is expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the entity: identifies the contract with a customer; identifies the performance obligations in the contract; determines the transaction price which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money; allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service to be delivered; and recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised.

Variable consideration within the transaction price, if any, reflects concessions provided to the customer such as discounts, rebates and refunds, any potential bonuses receivable from the customer and any other contingent events. Such estimates are determined using either the ‘expected value’ or ‘most likely amount’ method. The measurement of variable consideration is subject to a constraining principle whereby revenue will only be recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur.

Revenue is recognised when the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company and specific criteria relating to the type of revenue as noted below, have been satisfied.

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received and is presented net of returns, discounts and rebates.

Sale of Goods

Revenue will be recognised on transfer of goods to the customer as this is deemed to be the point in time when risks and rewards are transferred and there is no longer any ownership or effective control over the goods.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

33

Interest Revenue

Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest 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 Income

Other income is recognised on an accruals basis when the Company is entitled to it.

  • m. Goods and Services Tax (GST)

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

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are presented as operating cash flows included in receipts from customers or payments to suppliers.

  • n. Issued Capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

  • o. Earnings Per Share

Basic Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of QMines Ltd, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during period, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the period.

Diluted Earnings Per Share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

  • p. Finance Costs

Finance costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the asset. All other finance costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

34 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT JUDGEMENTS

The Directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report 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 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 that permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves. There is significant judgement required on the part of the Management and the Board in determining whether exploration assets are impaired. To this extent they have considered the exploration activities, the current market conditions, the political climate in the jurisdiction in which the assets exist, as well as numerous other factors in their determination that the assets are not impaired. Such capitalised expenditure is carried at the end of the reporting period at $4,476,787.

Key Judgements – Fair value of Purchase Consideration of Traprock

The purchase of Traprock was settled by the way of a exchange of equity and has been determined as not being a business combination. Consequently the transaction has been treated as an asset acquisition settled by a share based payment AASB 2 Share-based Payment. AASB 2 requires the issue of share by QMines be recorded at fair value of the asset purchased or the fair value of the equity issued . There is significant judgement and estimation uncertainty with regards to the determination of the fair value of the asset and the equity issued. The directors have exercised their judgement and consider that the most appropriate way of estimating fair value is in reference to the equity value. The equity value has been determined in relation to other capital raises by the company.

NOTE 3: NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS NOT YET MANDATORY OR EARLY ADOPTED

The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.

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

NOTE 16: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

  • a. Financial Risk Management

The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the Group’s risk management objectives and policies. The Group’s risk management policies and objectives are therefore designed to minimise the potential impacts of these risks on the results of objectives where such impacts may be material. The Board periodically reviews the effectiveness of the processes put in place and the appropriateness of the objectives and policies it sets. The Group’s financial instruments consists mainly of deposits with bank and inter-entity loans.

The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible. Further details regarding these policies are set out below:

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that the other party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge their obligation resulting in the Group incurring a financial loss. This usually occurs when debtors or counterparties to derivative contracts fail to settle their obligations owing to the Group. The Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or group of receivables under financial instruments entered into by the Group.

40 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The maximum exposure to credit risk at balance date is as follows:

ITEM 30 JUNE 2021 ($)
Cash and Cash Equivalents 9,045,023
Other Current Assets 251,707
TOTAL 9,296,730

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group may encounter difficulties raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instruments due to creditors. The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and ensuring that adequate unutilised borrowing facilities are maintained. The Group’s operations require it to raise capital on an on-going basis to fund its planned exploration program and to commercialise its tenement assets.

Market Risk

All transactions occur in Australian dollars (AUD). As such, there is no exposure to changes in foreign currency while in this prospective stage of operations.

Interest Rate Risk

The Group is constantly monitoring its exposure to trends and fluctuations in interest rates in order to manage interest rate risk. The below demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates, with all other variables held constant.
