Exploration

During the year ended 30 June 2019, surface diamond drilling programmes continued across the EKJV leases with a major focus on Raleigh South and Drake prospects. Underground exploration and resource definition diamond drilling programmes continued across the Rubicon-Hornet-Pegasus and Raleigh South mining complexes. The Falcon mineralised corridor has been traced for over 1.5 kilometres and remains open to north and south with extensional and in-fill resource definition drilling underway from both platforms.

Details have been reported in the EKJV Quarterly Exploration Reports released to ASX on 7 November 2018, 30 January 2019, 18 April 2019 and 24 July 2019.

Overview of EKJV Projects

The exploration effort resulted in revised JORC compliant reserve and resource estimates released to the ASX on 5 August 2019.

Cross section views of Falcon lodes

The major focus of the current drilling programmes will be to:

• bring the Falcon lode to feasibility status;
• extend the K2 hanging wall lodes to the north of Pegasus; and
• extend the RHP hanging wall lode Hera.

Seven Mile Hill (Rand's interest 50%)

Following the evaluation of past exploration across the project area and further gold target generation work, a campaign of aircore drilling testing conceptual targets commenced in late June and will continue through July and August in addition to a programme of deep reverse circulation drilling at several advanced prospects.

Corporate

Investment in Tribune Resources Ltd

Pursuant to the Take-Over Panel orders, all bar, 1,135,000 shares of Rand's 26.32% shareholding in Tribune Resources Ltd were vested in the Commonwealth, on trust for Rand and to be sold by ASIC, in accordance with the Takeover Panel Orders.

The sale has now been completed and the proceeds of this sale have now been fully remitted to Rand, with the balance of funds being received in July 2019.

Rand advised the market that it was proposing to seek Court Orders to clarify the position of the remaining 1,135,000 shares in Tribune held by Rand.

On 26 July Rand successfully obtained these Court Orders.

The effect of these Court Orders is that the purchase of those shares is not invalid. As part of the Court Orders, Rand has undertaken to dispose of these shares within 6 months or such longer period approved by ASIC and Rand is currently complying with ASIC direction with respect to the completion of their sale.

Option to acquire Tapeta iron ore project in Liberia

With respect to Rand's option to acquire Iron Resources Limited ('IRL') from Resources Capital Limited ('RCL') pursuant to the Option and Access Agreement between Rand, IRL and RCL dated on or about 23 September 2011, as subsequently extended ('Option Agreement'), the Company acknowledges that the underlying tenement interests, the subject of the Option Agreement, had lapsed and were now subject to further applications by RCL in Liberia.

As a result, the option agreement had fallen away and is no longer in effect.

Share Buy-back programme

The Company instigated a 12 month period, share buy-back programme, in which the Company intended to buy-back the Company securities up to a maximum of 6,014,847 shares of its issued capital (representing 10% of the smallest number of issued shares in the last 12 months), at the time of the announcement.

The timing and actual number of shares to be purchased was dependent upon market conditions.

This commenced on 10 January 2019 and at the date of this report, no shares have been bought.

Northern Star's offer to purchase Rand's interest in the EKJV

On or about 13 November 2018, Northern Star Resources Limited ('Northern Star') (ASX code: NST) made an unsolicited $37.5 million offer for Rand Mining and Rand Exploration's 12.25% interest in the EKJV (Offer). In addition, Northern Star contemporaneously made an unsolicited offer for Tribune Resources Ltd's 36.75% interest in the EKJV.

The Board of Rand Mining concluded that the Offer significantly undervalues Rand's interest in the EKJV and resolved to reject the Offer and communicated this to Northern Star.

Resources and Reserves

At 30 June 2019, the EKJV's reported Mineral Resource Estimate (excluding Stockpiles but including other Reserves) is 10.97 million tonnes at 6.1 g/t Au for 2.15 million ounces (details in Table 1) and the EKJV's reported Ore Reserve Estimate (excluding Stockpiles) is 5.80 million tonnes at 5.7g/t Au for 1.06 million ounces (details in Table 2).

Comparison with the Mineral Resource Statement for the year ended 30 June 2018 shows an increase of approximately 91,000 ounces representing the following variations:

• No change in gold price from A$1,750/oz;
• Revised resource estimation methodology from June 2018;
• Revised modifying factors used from June 2018;
• Mining depletion at Rubicon, Hornet, Pegasus and Raleigh;
• Reflects substantial drilling at Pegasus, Pode, Raleigh South, Falcon; and
• Maiden resource for Falcon and Golden Hind.

Significant changes in the state of affairs

Investment in Tribune Resources Limited

The Company was the holder of a 26.32% shareholding interest in Tribune which was the subject of a Takeovers Panel hearing.

On 26 November 2018, under divestment orders by the Takeovers Panel made on 21 November 2018, 12,025,519 shares were vested in ASIC.

In total 12,025,619 shares were sold for total consideration of $45,475,896 (net of brokerage and fees). A loss of $2,447,964 on assets held for sale was recognised during the year.

As at the date of signing this report, there were no Tribune shares that remain to be sold in accordance with the Panel's orders.

Rand continues to hold 1,135,000 Tribune shares and will dispose of them within 6 months as per an order obtained by the Court. Refer to the ASX release on 26 July 2019 for further details.

Iron Resources Limited option

On 24 September 2018, the Company's option and access agreement relating to its option to acquire Iron Resources Limited from Resources Capital Limited expired and is no longer in effect.

There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the financial year.

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year

The Company has previously advised the market that it was proposing to seek Court Orders to clarify the position of 1,135,000 shares previously purchased by the Company in Tribune Resources Limited due to those shares being deemed to be void under section 259C of the Corporations Act.

On 26 July 2019, the Company successfully obtained the Court Orders and the effect of the Court Orders is that the purchase of those shares is not invalid.

As part of the Court Orders, the Company has undertaken to dispose of these shares within six months or such longer period approved by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission ('ASIC'). The Company is in the process of determining who to appoint as investment banker or stockbroker to facilitate the sale of these shares.

Subsequent to the year end, the Company relinquished the following tenements relating to Seven Mile Hill, P15/5182 and P15/5183.

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2019 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the Group's operations, the results of those operations, or the Group's state of affairs in future financial years.

Likely developments and expected results of operations

The Group intends to continue its exploration, development and production activities on its existing projects and to acquire further suitable projects for exploration as opportunities arise.

Environmental regulation

The Group is subject to and compliant with all aspects of environmental regulation of its exploration and mining activities. The directors are not aware of any environmental law that is not being complied with.

Greenhouse gas and energy data reporting requirements

The Group is subject to the reporting requirements of both the Energy Efficiency Opportunities Act 2006 and the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007.

The Energy Efficiency Opportunities Act 2006 requires the Group to assess its energy usages, including the identification, investigation and evaluation of energy saving opportunities, and to report publicly on the assessments undertaken, including what action the Group intends to take as a result. Due to this Act, the Group, via its participation in the East Kundana Joint Venture ('EKJV') has registered with the Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism as a participant entity and reports the results from its assessments.

The National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 requires the Group, via its participation in the EKJV, to report its annual greenhouse gas emissions and energy use. The Group has previously implemented systems and processes for the collection and calculation of data.

Remuneration report (audited)

The remuneration report, which has been audited, outlines the director and key management personnel remuneration arrangements for the Group and the Company, 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

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

The objective of the Group and Company'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 conforms with the market best practice for 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; and
• transparency.

The Board is responsible for determining and reviewing remuneration arrangements for its directors and executives. The performance of the Group and Company 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 Group and Company.

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; and
• 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; and
• providing a clear structure for earning rewards.

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive directors and executive directors' remuneration are separate.

Non-executive directors' remuneration

Fees and payments to non-executive directors' reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of, the directors. Non-executive directors' fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Board. The Board may seek the advice of independent remuneration consultants to ensure non-executive directors' fees and payments are appropriate and in line with the market (refer 'use of remuneration consultants' below). There are no termination or retirement benefits for nonexecutive directors other than statutory superannuation.

ASX listing rules requires that the aggregate non-executive directors remuneration shall be determined periodically by a general meeting. The most recent determination was at the Annual General Meeting held on 30 November 2005, where the shareholders approved an aggregate remuneration of $160,000.

Executive remuneration

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

The executive remuneration and reward framework has four components:

• base pay and non-monetary benefits;
• short-term performance incentives;
• share-based payments; and
• 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 Group and comparable market remunerations.

Executives can 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 adds additional value for the executive.

The short-term incentives ('STI') program is designed to align the targets of the business units with the targets of those executives in charge of meeting those targets. STI payments are granted to executives based on specific annual targets and key performance indicators ('KPI') being achieved. KPI's include profit contribution, customer satisfaction, leadership contribution and product management.

The long-term incentives ('LTI') currently consists of long service leave.

Group performance and link to remuneration

The directors' remuneration levels are not directly dependent upon the Group and Company's performance or any other performance conditions. However, practically, whether shareholders vote for or against an increase in the aggregate director remuneration will depend upon, amongst other things, how the Group and Company have performed.

Use of remuneration consultants

During the financial year ended 30 June 2019, the Company did not engage remuneration consultants to review its existing remuneration policies or provide recommendations on how to improve both the STI and LTI program.

Voting and comments made at the Company's 2018 Annual General Meeting ('AGM')

At the last AGM 91.48% of the shareholders voted to adopt the remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2018. The Company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM regarding its remuneration practices.

● John Andrews - Manager of Kalgoorlie Operations (resigned effective 31 October 2018)

Note 1. General information

The financial statements cover Rand Mining Limited as a Group consisting of Rand Mining Limited ('Company', 'parent entity' or 'Rand') and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year (referred to in these financial statements as the 'Group'). The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Rand Mining Limited's functional and presentation currency.

Rand Mining Limited is a listed public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Its registered office and principal place of business is:

Suite G1, 49 Melville Parade South Perth WA 6151

A description of the nature of the Group's operations and its principal activities are included in the directors' report, which is not part of the financial statements.

The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of directors, on 27 September 2019. The directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

The Group 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. The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the Group during the financial year ended 30 June 2019.

Except for AASB 9 'Financial instruments' which was early adopted in the prior year, no other new or amended Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective, have been early adopted.

The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the Group:

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Group has adopted AASB 15 from 1 July 2018 using the full retrospective approach on transition. The standard provides a single comprehensive model for revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is that an entity shall recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard introduced a new contract-based revenue recognition model with a measurement approach that is based on an allocation of the transaction price. This is described further in the accounting policies below. Credit risk is presented separately as an expense rather than adjusted against revenue. Contracts with customers are presented in an entity's statement of financial position as a contract liability, a contract asset, or a receivable, depending on the relationship between the entity's performance and the customer's payment. Customer acquisition costs and costs to fulfil a contract can, subject to certain criteria, be capitalised as an asset and amortised over the contract period.

Impact of adoption

The Group adopted this standard retrospectively from 1 July 2017 and there was no material impact to any balances recognised in the financial statements.

Basis of preparation

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').

Historical cost convention

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, the revaluation of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

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 3.

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 38.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Rand Mining Limited ('Company' or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2019 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Rand Mining Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'Group'.

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the Group are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent.

Where the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and noncontrolling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The Group recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss.

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 the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM'). The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.

Revenue recognition

The Group recognises revenue as follows:

Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group is expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the Group: 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.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

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. The measurement constraint continues until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Amounts received that are subject to the constraining principle are recognised as a refund liability.

Sale of gold

Sale of gold revenue is recognised at the point of sale, which is where the customer has taken delivery of the goods, the risks and rewards are transferred to the customer and there is a valid sales contract.

Dividends

Dividends are received from financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss ('FVPL'). Dividends are recognised as other income in profit or loss when the right to receive payment is established. This applies even if they are paid out of pre-acquisition profits, unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of an investment.

Interest

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 revenue

Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.

Income tax

The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for:

• When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or
• When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously.

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 Group'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.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Trade and other receivables

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses. The Group has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, other receivables have been grouped based on days overdue.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value on a 'first in first out' basis. Cost comprises direct materials and delivery costs, direct labour, import duties and other taxes, an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure based on normal operating capacity, and, where applicable, transfers from cash flow hedging reserves in equity. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts received or receivable.

Cost is determined on the following basis:

• gold on hand is valued on an average total production cost method;
• ore stockpiles are valued at the average cost of mining and stockpiling the ore, including haulage; and
• a proportion of related depreciation and amortisation charge is included in the cost of inventory.

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 exceed 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.

Joint operations

A joint operation is a 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. The consolidated entity has recognised its share of jointly held assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of joint operations. These have been incorporated in the financial statements under the appropriate classifications.

Investments and other financial assets

Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part of the initial measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Such assets are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on both the business model within which such assets are held and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset unless, an accounting mismatch is being avoided.

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. When there is no reasonable expectation of recovering part or all of a financial asset, it's carrying value is written off.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets not measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Typically, such financial assets will be either: (i) held for trading, where they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the short-term with an intention of making a profit, or a derivative; or (ii) designated as such upon initial recognition where permitted. Fair value movements are recognised in profit or loss.

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 mandatorily measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance is recognised in profit and loss with a corresponding entry to other comprehensive income. In all other cases, the loss allowance is recognised through profit or loss and reduces the asset's carrying value.

Property, plant and equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment over their expected useful lives as follows:

Mining plant and equipment 3 - 10 years

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

Leasehold improvements and plant and equipment under lease are depreciated over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the assets, whichever is shorter.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the Group. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss.

Mining plant and equipment and capital work in progress

Mining plant and equipment and capital work in progress is carried at cost which includes acquisition, transportation, installation, and commissioning costs. Costs also include present value of decommissioning costs and finance charges capitalised during the construction period where such expenditure is financed by borrowings. Costs are not depreciated until such time as the asset has been completed ready for use.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group, and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Leases

The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.

A distinction is made between finance leases, which effectively transfer from the lessor to the lessee substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of leased assets, and operating leases, under which the lessor effectively retains substantially all such risks and benefits.

Finance leases are capitalised. A lease asset and liability are established at the fair value of the leased assets, or if lower, the present value of minimum lease payments. Lease payments are allocated between the principal component of the lease liability and the finance costs, so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

Leased assets acquired under a finance lease are depreciated over the asset's useful life or over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term if there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership at the end of the lease term.

Operating lease payments, net of any incentives received from the lessor, are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Exploration and evaluation

Exploration and evaluation expenditures are typically expenses, unless it can be demonstrated that the related expenditures will generate a future economic benefit, in which case these costs are capitalised.

Examples of common exploration and evaluation activities

Exploration activities which primarily consist of expenditures relating to drilling programs and include, but are not limited to:

• Researching and analysing existing exploration data;

• Conducting geological mapping studies; and

• Exploratory drilling and sampling including:

  • Taking core samples for analysis (assay work);
  • Sinking exploratory shafts;
  • Opening shallow pits; and

• Drilling to determine volume and grade of deposits in an area known to contain mineral resources, or for the purpose of converting mineral resources into proven and probable reserves.

Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount is assessed as exceeding recoverable amount, the excess is recognised as an impairment expense in the profit or loss.

Mine development assets

Capitalised mine development costs include expenditures incurred to develop new ore bodies to define further mineralisation in existing ore bodies, to expand the capacity of a mine and to maintain production. Mine development also includes costs transferred from the exploration and evaluation phase once production commences in the area of interest.

Amortisation of mine development is computed by the units of production basis over the estimated proved and probable reserves. Proved and probable mineral reserves reflect estimated quantities of economically recoverable reserves which can be recovered in the future from known mineral deposits. These reserves are amortised from the date on which production commences. The amortisation is calculated from recoverable proved and probable reserves and a predetermined percentage of the recoverable measured, indicated and inferred resource. This percentage is reviewed annually.

Restoration costs expected to be incurred are provided for as part of the development phase that give rise to the need for restoration.

Impairment of non-financial assets

Non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit.

Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year 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.

Borrowings

Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Where there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date, the loans or borrowings are classified as non-current.

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.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

Employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in current liabilities in respect of employees' services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

Other long-term employee benefits

The liability for long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in noncurrent liabilities, provided there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability. The liability is measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on high quality corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

Defined contribution superannuation expense

Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Fair value measurement

When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed at each reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is either not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on market knowledge and reputation. Where there is a significant change in fair value of an asset or liability from one period to another, an analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the latest valuation and a comparison, where applicable, with external sources of data.

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.

Dividends

Dividends are recognised when declared during the financial year and no longer at the discretion of the Company.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share

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

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.

Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

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 tax authority is included in other receivables or other 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 tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority.

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2019. The Group's assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the Group, are set out below.

AASB 16 Leases

This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The standard replaces AASB 117 'Leases' and for lessees will eliminate the classifications of operating leases and finance leases. Subject to exceptions, a 'right-of-use' asset will be capitalised in the statement of financial position, measured at the present value of the unavoidable future lease payments to be made over the lease term. The exceptions relate to short-term leases of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets (such as personal computers and small office furniture) where an accounting policy choice exists whereby either a 'right-of-use' asset is recognised or lease payments are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. A liability corresponding to the capitalised lease will also be recognised, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of any future restoration, removal or dismantling costs. Straight-line operating lease expense recognition will be replaced with a depreciation charge for the leased asset (included in operating costs) and an interest expense on the recognised lease liability (included in finance costs). In the earlier periods of the lease, the expenses associated with the lease under AASB 16 will be higher when compared to lease expenses under AASB 117. However EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation) results will be improved as the operating expense is replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit or loss under AASB 16. For classification within the statement of cash flows, the lease payments will be separated into both a principal (financing activities) and interest (either operating or financing activities) component. For lessor accounting, the standard does not substantially change how a lessor accounts for leases.

The Group will adopt this standard from 1 July 2019. Information on the undiscounted amount of the Group's operating lease commitments under AASB 117, the current leasing standard, is disclosed in note 36. The Group is considering the available options for transition. To date, work has focused on the identification of the provisions of the standard which will most impact the Group and the next phase is a detailed review of the contracts and the financial reporting impact of AASB 16.

The Joint Venture manager is finalising its review of the executory contracts entered into by EKJV Management Pty Ltd in light of the new lease accounting rules under AASB 16.

The impact at 1 July 2019, on the basis that the right-of-use assets are measured on transition at the amount of lease liability on adoption, would be to recognise a right-of-use asset of $49,542 and a lease liability of $49,542.

New Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting

A revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting has been issued by the AASB and is applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020. This release impacts for-profit private sector entities that have public accountability that are required by legislation to comply with Australian Accounting Standards and other for-profit entities that voluntarily elect to apply the Conceptual Framework. Phase 2 of the framework is yet to be released which will impact for-profit private sector entities. The application of new definition and recognition criteria as well as new guidance on measurement will result in amendments to several accounting standards. The issue of AASB 2019-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – References to the Conceptual Framework, also applicable from 1 January 2020, includes such amendments. Where the Group has relied on the conceptual framework in determining its accounting policies for transactions, events or conditions that are not otherwise dealt with under Australian Accounting Standards, the Group may need to revisit such policies. The Group will apply the revised conceptual framework from 1 July 2020 and is yet to assess its impact.

Other standards and interpretations

The directors have also reviewed all other new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the year ended 30 June 2019. As a result of this review the directors have determined that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Company and, therefore, no change is necessary to Group accounting policies. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.

Estimation of useful lives of assets

The Group determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its property, plant and equipment and finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations or some other event. The depreciation and amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down.

Income tax

The Group is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Group recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on the Group's current understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the carrying amounts, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

Recovery of deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if the Group considers it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Recoverability of assets

The recoverable amount of each 'cash-generating unit' , 'investment in associate', and 'investment in joint arrangement' is determined as the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to dispose and its value in use. Assessments of value in use and fair value less cost to dispose require the use of estimates and assumptions including discount rates, exchange rates, commodity prices, future capital requirements and future operating performance, as well as the value that a market participant would place on any resources which have yet to be proven as reserves associated with the CGU.

Inventories are recognised at the lower of cost and net realisable value which is calculated. The computation of net realisable value involves significant judgements and estimates in relation to future processing costs, commodity prices, foreign exchange rates, and timing of processing and sale.

Mine development assets

The estimated quantities of economically recoverable reserves and resources are based upon interpretations of geological and geophysical models and require assumptions to be made regarding factors such as estimates of short and long term exchange rates, estimates of short and long term commodity prices, future capital requirements and future operating performance. Changes in reported reserves and resources estimates can impact the carrying value of deferred mining expenditure, intangible assets, provisions for mine rehabilitation, the recognition of deferred tax assets, as well as the amount of depreciation and amortisation charged to the profit or loss.

Exploration and evaluation expenditure

The application of the Group's accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure requires judgement to determine whether future economic benefits are likely, from either future exploitation or sale, or whether activities have not reached a stage that permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves.

Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued)

Joint arrangements

The Group holds a 50% interest in Mount Manning Resources Pty Ltd. The partnership agreements require unanimous consent from all parties for all relevant activities. The two partners own the assets of the partnership as tenants in common and are jointly and severally liable for the liabilities incurred by the partnership. This entity is therefore classified as a joint operation and the Group recognises its direct right to the jointly held assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses as described in note 2.

Note 4. Restatement of comparatives

Correction of error

During certain historic periods prior to 30 June 2013, the Group impaired its investment in associate by $9,543,874. It was subsequently identified that such accumulated impairment and the related impact on deferred tax liabilities ($2,863,162) were presented in error in the earliest presented period (1 July 2017) and that a historical error correction was required.

Statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income

As there was no impact on the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the year ended 30 June 2018, the Group has elected not to show the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Note 5. Operating segments

Identification of reportable operating segments

The Group has no separate operating segments as the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (who are identified as the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM')) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources reflect the financial position and performance of the Group as a whole.

Major customers

During the year ended 30 June 2019 approximately 100% (2018: 100%) of the consolidated entity's external revenue was derived from sales to one customer.

Geographical information

The Group's revenue and non-current assets are all Australian based and therefore, this information is detailed throughout the financial statements.

The Company was the holder of a 26.32% shareholding interest in Tribune which was the subject of a Takeovers Panel hearing.

On 26 November 2018, under divestment orders by the Takeovers Panel made on 21 November 2018, 12,025,519 shares were vested in ASIC.

In total 12,025,619 shares were sold for total consideration of $45,475,896 (net of brokerage and fees). A loss of $2,447,964 on assets held for sale was recognised during the year.

As at the date of signing this report, there were no Tribune shares that remain to be sold in accordance with the Panel's orders.

Rand continues to hold 1,135,000 Tribune shares and will dispose of them within 6 months as per an order obtained by the Court. Refer to the ASX release on 26 July 2019 for further details.

The recoverability of the carrying amount of exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon the successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective areas of interest.

Impairment

At each reporting date the Group undertakes an assessment of the carrying amount of its exploration and evaluation assets. During the year the Group identified indicators of impairment on certain exploration and evaluation assets under AASB 6 'Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources'. As a result of this review, an impairment loss of $617,709 (2018: $107,397) has been recognised in the statement of profit or loss in relation to areas of interest where no future exploration and evaluation activities are expected.

The fully paid ordinary shares have no par value and the Company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital.

On a show of hands every member present at a meeting in person or by proxy shall have one vote and upon a poll each share shall have one vote.

Options

The Company has no options on issue.

Share buy-back

On 12 December 2018, the Company announced it would extend the on-market buy-back of ordinary shares to 11 December 2019. The number of shares remaining to be bought back is 6,014,847.

The market price at the date of the original share buy-back announcement on 11 December 2016 was $1.85.

Capital risk management

The Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the statement of financial position, plus net debt. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

Note 27. Equity - issued capital (continued)

The Group would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company was seen as value adding relative to the current parent entity's share price at the time of the investment. The Group is not actively pursuing additional investments in the short term as it continues to integrate and grow its existing businesses in order to maximise synergies.

The Group is subject to certain financing arrangements covenants and meeting these are given priority in all capital risk management decisions. There have been no events of default on the financing arrangements during the financial year.

The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 2018 Annual Report.

Note 31. Financial instruments

Financial risk management objectives

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk, price risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. The Group uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and other price risks, ageing analysis for credit risk.

Risk management is carried out by senior finance executives ('finance') under policies approved by the Board of Directors ('the Board'). These policies include identification and analysis of the risk exposure of the Group and appropriate procedures, controls and risk limits. Finance identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks within the Group's operating units when deemed necessary. Finance reports to the Board on a monthly basis.

Note 31. Financial instruments (continued)

Market risk

Foreign currency risk

The Group is not exposed to any significant foreign currency risk.

Price risk

The Group is exposed to equity securities price risks and bullion price risk. This arises from investments held by the Group and classified in the statement of financial position as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and bullion held as inventory.

The policy of the Group is to sell gold at spot price and so it has not entered into any hedging contracts. The Group's revenues were exposed to fluctuation in the price of gold. If the average selling price of gold of $1,807.10 (2018: $1,690.50) for the financial year had increased/decreased by 10% the change in the profit before income tax for the Group would have been an increase/decrease of $8,674,072 (2018: $4,591,697).

If there was a 10% increase or decrease in market price of gold, the net realisable value of bullion on hand would increase/(decrease) by $5,168,998 (2018: $7,389,565) and the bullion in transit would increase/(decrease) by $209,697 (2018: $90,540). As gold on hand is held at cost there would be no impact on profit or loss.

Interest rate risk

The Group is not exposed to any significant interest rate risk.

Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group has a strict code of credit, including obtaining agency credit information, confirming references and setting appropriate credit limits. The Group obtains guarantees where appropriate to mitigate credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date to recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements. The Group does not hold any collateral.

The Group has adopted a lifetime expected loss allowance in estimating expected credit losses to trade receivables through the use of a provisions matrix using fixed rates of credit loss provisioning. These provisions are considered representative across all customers of the Group based on recent sales experience, historical collection rates and forwardlooking information that is available.

The Group has a credit risk exposure with the carrying amount of receivables. For some receivables the Group obtains agreements which can be called upon if the counterparty is in default under the terms of the agreement.

Generally, trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators of this include the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan, no active enforcement activity and a failure to make contractual payments for a period greater than 1 year.

Liquidity risk

Vigilant liquidity risk management requires the Group to maintain sufficient liquid assets (mainly cash and cash equivalents) and available borrowing facilities to be able to pay debts as and when they become due and payable.

The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and available borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

Note 31. Financial instruments (continued)

Remaining contractual maturities

The following tables detail the Group's remaining contractual maturity for its financial instrument liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the financial liabilities are required to be paid. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows disclosed as remaining contractual maturities and therefore these totals may differ from their carrying amount in the statement of financial position.

Note 32. Fair value measurement

Fair value hierarchy

The following tables detail the Group's assets and liabilities, measured or disclosed at fair value, using a three level hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

Assets
Listed securities - equity (current)	6,185,750	-	-	6,185,750

There were no transfers between levels during the financial year.

Unless otherwise stated, the carrying amounts of financial instruments reflect their fair value. The carrying amounts of trade receivables and trade payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The fair value of financial liabilities is estimated by discounting the remaining contractual maturities at the current market interest rate that is available for similar financial instruments.

Note 42. Events after the reporting period

The Company has previously advised the market that it was proposing to seek Court Orders to clarify the position of 1,135,000 shares previously purchased by the Company in Tribune Resources Limited due to those shares being deemed to be void under section 259C of the Corporations Act.

On 26 July 2019, the Company successfully obtained the Court Orders and the effect of the Court Orders is that the purchase of those shares is not invalid.

As part of the Court Orders, the Company has undertaken to dispose of these shares within six months or such longer period approved by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission ('ASIC'). The Company is in the process of determining who to appoint as investment banker or stockbroker to facilitate the sale of these shares.

Subsequent to the year end, the Company relinquished the following tenements relating to Seven Mile Hill, P15/5182 and P15/5183.

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2019 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the Group's operations, the results of those operations, or the Group's state of affairs in future financial years.

Information other than the financial report and auditor's report thereon

The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group's annual report for the year ended 30 June 2019, 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 we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

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 the 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 Group'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 Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial report

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 the 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 the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at: http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors\_responsibilities/ar1.pdf. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
