DIRECTORS' REPORT

Your directors submit the financial report of QMines Limited ("QMines" or "the Group") for the period ended 31 December 2020.

Directors

The names of directors who held office during the period and up to the date of this report are:

Mr Andrew Sparke; Executive Chairman Mr Daniel Lanskey; Managing Director Mrs Elissa Hansen; Non-executive Director and Company Secretary

Review of Operations

The consolidated loss after income tax of the Group for the period ended 31 December 2020 is $447,718.

During the period, the Group was focussed on its prospective copper, gold and base metals projects in Central and Southern Queensland. QMines continues to review all of the historic exploration of projects it has acquired to date. QMines' four projects include:

  • Mt Chalmers (flagship)
  • Silverwood
  • Warroo
  • Herries Range

Highlights

Mt Chalmers

The Mt Chalmers Project, situated 17km North-East of Rockhampton, is approximately 51km2 . The Group has recently extended the Mt Chalmers tenement package, applying for EPM 27726 comprising 37 sub-blocks (approximately 111km2 ) and (through its acquisition of Rocky Copper Pty Ltd) acquiring the application for EPM 27697 comprising 12 sub-blocks (approximately 36km2 ).

The Mt Chalmers deposit was last mined in an open pit scenario by Mount Morgan Limited between 1979 and March 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.

Category Mt Au g/t Cu % Ag g/t Au Koz Cu Kt Ag Koz
Inferred 3.9 0.81 1.15 8.4 101.9 44.9 1,061

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 which offer both drilling and exploration targets, particularly along strike and down dip of the existing resource. A summary of the Exploration Targets identified at Mt Chalmers Project is included below:

Project Prospect Mt Au (g/t) Cu (%) Zn (%) Cut off
Mt Chalmers Woods Shaft 1.0 to 1.5 0.6 to 1.0 0.2 to 0.3 n/a 0.5g/t Au
Mt Chalmers Botos 1.5 to 2.5 0.5 to 0.8 0.1 to 0.2 1.1 to 1.4 0.5g/t Au
Mt Chalmers Mt Warminster 1.5 to 1.8 n/a 0.1 to 0.2 0.5 to 0.7 1% Zn Eq

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)

Silverwood Project

The Silverwood Project is located 15km south of the regional centre of Warwick. EPM 27281 and EPM 27724 consists of 78 sub-blocks (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 2 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 Mt Chalmers Project is included below:

Project Prospect MT Zn (%) Cu (%) Ag (ppm) Cut-off
Silverwood Grieves Quarry 0.8 to 1.0 3.2 to 3.7 0.3 to 0.5 15 to 25 2% Zn

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.

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 hardrock 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 Period

On 18 January 2021, the Group acquired 100% of the issued shares in Rocky Copper Pty Ltd in consideration for the issue of 166,667 Shares to Orefox Exploration Pty Ltd (ABN 76 636 974 420). Rocky Copper holds 1 EPM and 1 application for an EPM at the Company's flagship Mt Chalmers project.

No other significant subsequent event has arisen that significantly affect the operations of the Group.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2020

Note 1: Summary of Accounting Policies

Statement of Compliance

These general purpose financial statements for the reporting period ended 31 December 2020 have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Directors on 27 April 2021.

Basis of Preparation

This interim financial report is intended to inform users on the latest annual financial statements of QMines Limited and its controlled entities ("the Group"). As such, it does not contain all information that would normally be included in annual 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 $3,193,247. Mining interests are contained in Note 7 of the financial statements.

Key Judgements – Fair value of purchase consideration of traprock

This transaction was settled by the way of equity and consequently is classified as share based payment AASB 2,Sharebased Payment. AASB 2 requires this transaction to be reflected at fair value. There is significant judgement and estimation uncertainty with regards to the determination of the fair value of the asset. The directors have exercised their judgement in determining that the transaction occurred at arm's length and consequently the purchaser consideration and fair value of the share issued was considered to equal the sale price of that asset.

Going Concern

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business.

As disclosed in the interim financial report, the Group incurred a loss after tax of $447,718 and had net cash outflows from operating activities of $591,890 for the period ended 31 December 2020. As at that date the Group had net current assets of $1,418,670 and net assets of $4,654,882.

The Directors are of the view that it is reasonably foreseeable that the Group will continue as a going concern and that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial report after consideration of the following factors:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

Note 2: Significant Judgements (Continued)

  • The Group has significant cash reserves to meet its immediate and short-term cash requirements
  • The Directors are of the opinion that existing shareholders and financiers will continue to fund the company in the short term, and if required additional share capital or debt funding can be sourced to develop the projects further.

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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF

QMINES LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES

Report on the Interim Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying Interim financial report of QMines Limited which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the period ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors' declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the period end or from time to time during the period.

Directors' Responsibility for the Interim Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the interim 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 interim financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the interim financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 31 December 2020 and its performance for the period ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of QMines Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of an interim financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
