  • completed the first stage of the Moroccan cobalt licence acquisition by acquiring an initial 20% interest in Atlas Managem S.A.R.L, which holds three Moroccan licences. The Board is currently reviewing its strategy and options for the Morocco Cobalt Project and at this point, has elected not to progress with Stage 2 of the acquisition of Atlas Managem;

  • sold the net smelter royalties granted to the Company over the Myall Project, Wellington North Project, Parkes East Project and Moorefield Projects to Magmatic Resources Limited.

7. Likely Developments and Expected Results

Other than as referred to in this report, further information as to likely developments in the operations of the Company and likely results of those operations in future financial years would, in the opinion of the directors, be speculative.

8. Significant Changes in the State of Affairs

There have been no significant changes in the state of affairs during the financial year ending 30 June 2019, other than as follows:

  • the Company disposed of a 70% equity interest in the Hong Kong Gold Project in the Pilbara to Pacton Gold Inc;
  • Mr David Lenigas resigned as Executive Chairman of the Company.

9. Significant Events After Balance Date

Subsequent to 30 June 2019, the Company:

  • changed its name to Sagon Resources Limited and its ASX code to SG1;
  • appointed Jeremy Robinson as an Executive Director and accepted the resignation of David Scoggin;
  • completed the acquisition of 100% of the issued capital of RareX Pty Ltd ("RareX").

  • exercised the E25 Option via payment of \$500,000 in cash to E25 and the issue of 13,338,261 ordinary shares (on a post-consolidation basis) (escrowed for 6 months) at a deemed issue price of \$0.0375 per share. The other material terms of the agreement with E25 are:
  • Within 12 months of exercising the E25 Option, Sagon will either, at Sagon's election:
    • make a further \$500,000 cash payment to E25, plus issue \$500,000 worth of shares (at a deemed issue price equal to the 30-day VWAP, subject to a minimum price of \$0.017 per share on a postconsolidation basis); or
    • make a \$1 million cash payment to E25.
  • Within 36 months of exercising the E25 Option, and subject to the completion of a positive bankable feasibility study, Sagon will either, at Sagon's election, pay or issue \$1,000,000 in cash or shares or a combination thereof to a total value of \$1,000,000. Any shares issued will be issued at a deemed issue price equal to the 30-day VWAP, subject to a minimum price of \$0.017 per share on a post-consolidation basis. If the positive bankable feasibility study is not completed within this 36 month period, Sagon will instead grant E25 a 1% net smelter return royalty on future production from the Cummins Range Project, capped at \$1 million;
  • completed a share placement which raised \$1,170,000 (before costs) via the issue of 68,823,540 ordinary shares (on a post-consolidation basis) at an issue price of \$0.017 per share;

10. Indemnity and Insurance for Group Officers and Auditor

To the extent permitted by law, the Company indemnifies every person who is or has been:

  • an Officer against any liability to any person (other than the Company or a related entity) incurred while acting in that capacity and in good faith; and
  • an Officer or auditor of the Company, against costs and expenses incurred by that person in that capacity in successfully defending legal proceedings and ancillary matters.

The Company has in respect of any person who is or has been a director or officer of the Company paid a premium in respect of a contract insuring all directors and officers against a liability. The Company maintains insurance policies for the benefit of the relevant director or officer for the term of their appointment and for a period of seven years after retirement or resignation.

The Company has entered into a Deed of Indemnity, Access and Insurance with each of its Directors and the Company Secretary. Under the Deeds of Indemnity, Access and Insurance the Company will indemnify each officer to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act against any liability arising as a result of the officer acting as an officer of the Company. The Deeds of Indemnity, Access and Insurance also provide for the right to access Board papers and other Company records.

To the extent permitted by law, the Company has agreed to indemnify its auditor, Walker Wayland WA Audit Pty Ltd, as part of the terms of its audit engagement agreement against claims by third parties arising from the audit (for an unspecified amount). No payment has been made to indemnify either Walker Wayland WA Audit Pty Ltd during, or since the end of, the financial year.

11. Remuneration Report – Audited

This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each director of Sagon Resources Limited and the Group, and for the executives receiving the highest remuneration in accordance with the requirements of Section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations. The information provided in this remuneration report has been audited as required by Section 308(3C) of the Act. This remuneration report forms a part of the Directors' Report.

For the purposes of this report Key Management Personnel (KMP) of the Group are defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Company and the Group, directly or indirectly, including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of the parent company.

Remuneration Policy

The remuneration policy of Sagon Resources Limited has been designed to align director and executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering specific long-term incentives. The board of Sagon Resources Limited believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best executives and directors to run and manage the consolidated entity, as well as align interests of directors, executives and shareholders.

In previous years' shares were issued to directors, employees and consultants pursuant to the Company's Employee Share Option and Loan Plan (Plan). No shares were issued in the year ended 30 June 2019. The Board believes that shares are an effective remuneration tool which preserves the cash reserves of the Company whilst providing valuable remuneration.

A participant in the Plan must not sell, transfer, assign, mortgage, charge or otherwise encumber a Share issued under the Plan until the later of the following (to the extent applicable):

  • the repayment in full of any loan advanced by the Company to the participant contemporaneously with the issue of Shares under the Plan;
  • the expiry of any service continuity period specified by the Company at the time of issue of the Shares; and
  • the satisfaction of any performance criteria specified by the Company at the time of issue of the Shares.

If an eligible employee ceases to be an eligible employee of the Company during the period of restriction the Company may buy-back the Plan Shares the subject of the restriction at a price equal to the issue price or the market price at the Board's discretion.

Loans were advanced to the directors, executives and employees to pay the cash consideration for the Plan Shares. During the term of any such loan, dividends paid in respect of the Plan Shares in relation to which the Company made the loan will be retained by the Company as interest paid by the borrower on the loan. The borrower must repay the loan to the Company on the earlier of 5 years from the date of allotment of the Plan Shares to which the loan relates, or the date the borrower ceases to be employed by the Company. In such an event, the borrower is required to make available to the Company their Plan Shares to settle the loan. This will result in the Company meeting the loss on the loan so that the loan is effectively linked to the value of the Shares.

During the year ended 30 June 2018 the remaining Plan Shares were sold by the Company and the proceeds used to settle the outstanding loans in relation to those shares following the resignation of an eligible employee. As at 30 June 2019, there were no remaining Plan Shares and nil loans (2018: nil).

During the year ended 30 June 2018, a total of 50,000,000 options were issued to a director and consultant of the Company. These were not issued pursuant to the Plan.

The Board's policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for board members and senior executives of the consolidated entity is as follows:

  • The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior executives, was developed and approved by the Board.
  • All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience).
  • The Board reviews executive packages annually by reference to the consolidated entity's performance, executive performance and comparable information from industry sectors.

11. Remuneration Report – Audited (continued)

All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at the cost to the Company and is expensed over the appropriate vesting period. Shares issued under the Employee Share Plan are valued using the Binomial Tree methodology.

Non-Executive Directors

The Board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for time, commitment and responsibilities. The Board determines payments to the non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required.

The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Currently there is a maximum aggregate sum of \$200,000 per annum, which is to be divided between the non-executive directors in the proportions agreed between them or, failing agreement, equally.

Company performance, shareholder wealth and director and executive remuneration

Shares have been issued to directors and executives to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests in prior years. Options have been issued to directors to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests in the current year.

Executive and non-executive directors, other key management personnel and other senior employees have been granted ordinary shares and options. The recipients of shares and options are responsible for growing the Company and increasing shareholder value. If they achieve this goal the value of the shares and options granted to them will also increase. Therefore, the shares and options provide an incentive to the recipients to remain with the Company and to continue to work to enhance the Company's value.

There is no policy in place which limits exposure to risk in relation to those securities in the Company which constitute an element of directors' remuneration and which are linked to satisfaction of Company performance conditions.

The table below sets out summary information about the consolidated entity's earnings and movements in shareholder wealth for the five years to 30 June 2019:

30-Jun-19 30-Jun-18 30-Jun-17 30-Jun-16 30-Jun-15

Consolidated Entity:

Note: No dividends have been declared or paid since the Company was listed.

1 D Lenigas resigned as a director on 8 March 2019 following which the Board determined that the milestones of the performance rights issued to Mr Lenigas were incapable of satisfaction due to the Mr Lenigas no longer being engaged by the Company. The rights lapsed prior to 30 June 2019 and were valued at a fair value of nil.

On 3 August 2018, shareholders approved the issue of 462,000,000 performance rights to the Directors as shown in the above table.

11. Remuneration Report – Audited (continued)

Employee Share Plan

Pursuant to an employee share plan offer dated 25 October 2012, the Company provided limited recourse loans to eligible employees and consultants to purchase shares under the plan ("Plan Shares"). Pursuant to loan agreements, the loans become repayable once the employee/consultant ceases to be an eligible employee of or consultant to the Company. If the loan is not repaid within one month of the date of this notice, the Company may sell the Plan Shares in accordance with loan agreement for the benefit of the Company.

The sale proceeds will be deemed to have satisfied the outstanding loan amount in relation to those Plan Shares in full, and the eligible employee or consultant will have no further liability to the Company in respect of the loan and the Company will have no further recourse in relation to the loan. The Company has given the required notices to the employees and consultants who have ceased to be eligible, and is in a position to sell the Plan Shares.

During the year ended 30 June 2018, the remaining Plan Shares were sold by the Company and the proceeds used to settle the outstanding limited recourse loans in relation to those shares following the resignation of an eligible employee. As at 30 June 2019, there were no remaining Plan Shares on issue and nil limited recourse loans (2018: nil).

As at 30 June 2019, no key management personnel held Plan Shares.

[END OF REMUNERATION REPORT]

12. Auditor Independence and Non-Audit Services

The Group's current auditor, Walker Wayland WA Audit Pty Ltd, did not perform any services in addition to its statutory audit services (2018: nil).

The Board of Directors is satisfied that the provision of non-audit services by the previous external auditor did not compromise the auditor independence requirements of the act due to the following reasons:

  • 1) all material non-audit services have been reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors prior to commencement to ensure they do not adversely affect the integrity and objectivity of the auditor;
  • 2) none of the services undermines the general principles relating to auditor's independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, including reviewing and auditing the auditor's own work, acting in a management or decision making capacity for the Group, acting as an advocate for the Group or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.

13. Auditor's Independence Declaration

The auditor's independence declaration for the reporting period ended 30 June 2019 has been received and can be found on page 14.

14. Share Options

At the date of this report 7,200,000 post-consolidation (2018: 2,032,866,179 pre-consolidation) options to acquire ordinary shares in Sagon Resources Limited were on issue.

Share-based payments and options issued to directors, consultants and eligible employees, are disclosed in this Directors' Report and Notes 16, 24 and 25 to the Annual Financial Statement.

Option holders do not have any right, by virtue of the option, to participate in any share issue of the Company or any related body corporate.

15. Directors' Meetings

The number of meetings of Directors (including meetings of committees of directors) held during the year ended 30 June 2019 and the number of meetings attended by each director was as follows:

16. Risk Management

The Company takes a proactive approach to risk management including monitoring actual performance against budgets and forecast and monitoring investment performance. The Board is responsible for ensuring that risks, and also opportunities, are identified on a timely basis and that the consolidated entity's objectives and activities are aligned with the risks and opportunities identified by the Board.

17. Environmental Regulations and Performance

The Company is required to carry out the exploration and evaluation of its mining tenements in accordance with various State Government Acts and Regulations.

In regard to environmental considerations, the Company is required to obtain approval from various State regulatory authorities before any exploration requiring ground disturbance, is carried out. It is normally a condition of such regulatory approval that any area of ground disturbed during the Company's activities is rehabilitated in accordance with various guidelines. There have been no significant breaches of these guidelines.

This report is made in accordance with a resolution of the Directors.

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

The financial statements of Sagon Resources Limited (the Company or the Group) for the year ended 30 June 2019 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 27th September 2019. Sagon Resources Limited is a for profit entity. Sagon Resources Limited (the parent) is a company limited by shares, incorporated in Australia, and whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange.

The nature of the operations and principal activities of the consolidated entity are described in the Directors' Report.

2. SUMMARY OF 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. The financial statements include separate financial statements for Sagon Resources Limited as an individual entity and the consolidated entity consisting of Sagon Resources Limited and its controlled entities.

(a) Basis of preparation

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board. These financial statements have also been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for available-for-sale investments, which have been measured at fair value. These financial statements are presented in Australian dollars.

Going concern

As at 30 June 2019, the Group had working capital of \$852,326 (2018: \$553,729) and returned a loss attributable to owners of \$2,209,009 (2018: \$1,276,041). The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the future successful raising of the necessary funding through equity and/or debt and the successful exploitation of the Group's tenements.

The Directors believe it is appropriate to prepare the Financial Statements on a going concern basis because the Directors have appropriate plans to raise additional funds if required.

These Financial Statements have been prepared on the basis that the Group can meet its commitments as and when they fall due and can therefore continue normal business activities and the realisation of its assets and settlement of its liabilities can occur in the ordinary course of business.

In the event the Group is not able to achieve the above requirements, there is uncertainty whether the Group will continue as a going concern and realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in its financial report.

(b) Statement of Compliance

These financial statements comply with Australian Accounting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

These financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and Interpretations, and comply with other requirements of the law.

(c) New accounting standards and interpretations

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

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

The adoption of AASB 9 Financial Instruments from 1 July 2018 has not affected balances of the Group because no financial instrument held by the Group is recognised or measured differently by this standard. Although the shares in listed investments disclosed in Note 12 are now classified as being measured at fair value through profit or loss, this change in language has had no effect on reported balances. The Group has no expected credit losses on financial instruments. Future effects of the implementation of this standard will mostly depend on any form of hedging by the Group.

The adoption of AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers from 1 July 2018 has not affected balances of the Group because no revenue or potential revenue of the Group is recognised or measured differently by this standard. Future effects of the implementation of this standard will mostly depend on the wording and effect of relevant contracts.

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

Accounting Standards issued but not yet effective

The following Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued but are not yet effective have not been adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ending 30 June 2019. None of the standards issued and not yet effective are expected to have a significant impact to the financial statements. Those that are relevant to the Group are outlined 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 as 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. The Group does not expect the implementation of this standard to have any effect on reported balances for the year ending 30 June 2020 because the only potentially relevant lease is a short-term lease over office premises that the Group is choosing to treat as a short term lease in accordance with transitional provisions of this standard. Future effects of the implementation of this standard will depend on details in future agreements.

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 Company will adopt this standard from 1 July 2019 but the impact of its adoption is yet to be assessed by the Company.

(d) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group and its subsidiary as at 30 June 2019. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the statement of comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group's accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.

(e) Investment in joint operations

A joint operation is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement.

Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. The considerations made in determining significant influence or joint control are similar to those necessary to determine control over subsidiaries. The Group accounts for the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses relating to its interest in a joint operation in accordance with the IFRSs applicable to the particular assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.

The Group can elect to contribute to ongoing exploration costs in proportion to its interests or dilute (a farm-out arrangement). If contributions are made during the reporting period, they are accounted for as exploration expenditure. Once the joint arrangement partner had earned its interest, the Company recovers expenditure equivalent to the other joint arrangement partner's interest.

The Group does not record any expenditure made by the farminee on its account. It also does not recognise any gain or loss on its exploration and evaluation farm-out arrangements. Any cash consideration received directly from the farminee is credited against costs previously incurred in relation to the whole interest.

When the Group, acting as an operator, receives reimbursement of direct costs recharged to the joint operation, such recharges represent reimbursements of costs that the operator incurred as an agent for the joint operation and therefore have no effect on profit or loss.

In many cases, the Group also incurs certain general overhead expenses in carrying out activities on behalf of the joint operation. As these costs can often not be specifically identified, joint operation agreements allow the operator to recover the general overhead expenses incurred by charging an overhead fee that is based on a fixed percentage of the total costs incurred for the year, often in the form of a management fee. Although the purpose of this recharge is very similar to the reimbursement of direct costs, the Group is not acting as an agent in this case. Therefore, the general overhead expenses and the overhead fee are recognised in profit or loss as an expense and income, respectively.

(f) Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination shall be measured at fair value, which shall be calculated as the sum of the acquisition date fair value of the assets transferred by the acquirer, the liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the equity issued by the acquirer, and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the acquirer measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred.

When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the Group's operating or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured at fair value as at the acquisition date through profit or loss.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration which is deemed to be an asset or liability will be recognised in accordance with AASB 139 either in profit or loss or in other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it shall not be remeasured.

(g) Segment reporting

Management has assessed that the Group's reportable business segments under the quantitative criteria set out in AASB 8 Segment Reporting and has determined that no additional operating segments disclosures are required.

AASB 8 requires the 'management approach' to the identification, measurement and disclosure of operating segments. The 'management approach' requires that operating segments be identified on the basis of internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the entity's chief operating decision maker, for the purpose of allocating resources and assessing performance. This could also include the identification of operating segments which sell primarily or exclusively to other internal operating segments.

In its adoption of the 'management approach' to segment reporting, the Group has identified that it continues to operate as a gold, copper and base metals explorer and developer, in a single reportable business segment, under one segment manager, in one geographical location being Australia, consistent with the prior year. The information disclosed in the financial statements is the same information utilised internally by the chief operating decision maker. Accordingly, no additional quantitative or qualitative disclosures are required.

(h) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank and short-term deposits with an original maturity of not more than 3 months that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

For the purposes of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above. The consolidated entity does not have any bank overdraft facilities.

Where the Company calls cash in advance from its joint venture partners, the cash is recognised as an asset with an offsetting liability for the amount of expenses not yet incurred on the relevant joint venture project at balance date. The liability is then released to the profit and loss as the expenditure is incurred.

Restricted cash represents the cash funds held in term deposit accounts for exploration licenses for a period longer than 3 months but shorter than 12 months. The Department of Trade and Investment, Regional Infrastructure and Services requires the Company to lodge a security deposit in respect of each of its exploration leases granted over tenements held in the Company's name. These funds are held as a Deed of Security Deposit Bond entered into on behalf of the Company by a financial institution. The amount of restricted cash required to be held as a security deposit varies from time to time depending on the requirements of the tenements leased. The deposits must remain in place until the Company determines that the relevant exploration lease should be relinquished.

(i) Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are generally paid on 30-day settlement terms and are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for impairment. Trade receivables are non-interest bearing.

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Individual debts that are known to be uncollectible are written off when identified. An impairment provision would be recognised when legal notice has been sent and a reply not received within 30 days.

(j) Investments and other financial assets

Investments and financial assets in the scope of AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are categorised as either financial assets at fair value through profit and loss, loans and receivables, held-tomaturity investments, or available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Designation is re-evaluated at each financial year end, but there are restrictions on reclassifying to other categories.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of assets not at fair value through profit and loss, directly attributable transaction costs.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

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

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income include equity investments which the consolidated entity intends to hold for the foreseeable future and has irrevocably elected to classify them as such upon initial recognition.

(i) Recognition and Derecognition

All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date i.e. the date that the consolidated entity commits to purchase the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets under contracts that require delivery of the assets within the period established generally by regulation or convention in the market place. Financial assets are derecognised when the right to receive cash flows from the financial assets has expired or when the entity transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of the financial assets. If the entity neither retains nor transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards, it derecognises the asset if it has transferred control of the assets.

(ii) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables including loan notes are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are carried at the transaction price minus principal repayments and minus any allowance for impairment or uncollectability. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired. Loans and receivables are included with receivables in current assets in the statement of financial position, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after balance date, which are classified as non-current. Loans and receivables with maturities greater than 12 months are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

(iii) Financial assets carried at cost

Investments are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost in the Group's financial statements. If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred on an unquoted equity instrument that is not carried at fair value (because its fair value cannot be reliably measured), the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset.

(k) Plant and Equipment

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

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the consolidated entity and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight line and diminishing value methods to allocate the cost of the specific assets over their estimated useful lives. The expected useful lives are detailed in Note 13.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end.

(i) Impairment

The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.

The directors have determined that items of plant and equipment do not generate independent cash inflows and that the business of the consolidated entity is, in its entirety, a cash-generating unit. The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is thus determined to be its fair value less costs to sell.

An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. The asset or cash-generating unit is then written down to its recoverable amount. For plant and equipment, impairment losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as an expense.

(ii) Derecognition and disposal

An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected from its use.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These are included in the statement of comprehensive income. When revalued assets are sold, it is consolidated entity policy to transfer the amounts included in other reserves in respect of those assets to retained earnings.

(l) Trade and other payables

Trade payables and other payables are carried at the transaction price minus principal repayments. They represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated entity prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the consolidated entity becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

(m) Provisions and employee benefits

Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

When the consolidated entity expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of comprehensive income net of any reimbursement.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date using a discounted cash flow methodology. The risks specific to the provision are factored into the cash flows and as such a risk-free corporate bond rate relative to the expected life of the provision is used as a discount rate. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised in finance costs.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Employee leave benefits

(i) Wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave expected to be settled with 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in respect of employees' services up to the reporting date. Liabilities for annual leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in the current provision for the employee benefits. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Expenses for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and are measured at the rates paid or payable. For annual leave, expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

(ii) Long Service Leave

The liability for long service leave is recognised and 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 corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

(n) Share-based payment transactions

(i) Equity settled transactions

The consolidated entity provides benefits to its directors, employees and consultants in the form of share-based payments, whereby directors and employees render services in exchange for options to acquire shares, rights over shares (equity-settled transactions) and shares issued pursuant to the Company's Employee Share and Loan Plan ("Plan"). The consolidated entity has also issued ordinary shares and unlisted options as consideration to vendors for the acquisition of exploration licences and drilling services.

The cost of these equity-settled transactions is measured by reference to the fair value to the Company of the equity instruments at the date at which they were granted in the case of options and shares issued under the Plan for directors, employees and consultants; and the closing share price on, or just before, either the date of entering into, or executing, an exploration licence purchase agreement in the case of options and shares issued to tenement vendors as consideration for the settlement price. The fair value of the unlisted options and shares issued under the Plan is determined using the Black-Scholes model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised as an expense, together with a corresponding increase in equity over the period in which the vesting and/or service conditions are fulfilled (the vesting period), ending on the date on which the relevant directors and employees become fully entitled to the options (the vesting date) or shares issued under the Plan.

At each subsequent reporting date until vesting, the cumulative charge to the statement of comprehensive income reflects:

  • (i) the grant date fair value of the options and shares issued under the Plan;
  • (ii) the current best estimate of the number of options and shares issued under the Plan that will ultimately vest, taking into account such factors as the likelihood of employee turnover during the vesting period and the likelihood of vesting conditions being met, based on best available information at balance date; and
  • (iii) the extent to which the vesting period has expired.

The charge to the statement of comprehensive income for the period is the cumulative amount as calculated above less the amounts already charged in previous periods. There is a corresponding entry to equity.

If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. An additional expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee, as measured at the date of modification.

If an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options and shares issued under the Plan is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

(o) 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.

(p) Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised and measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable to the extent it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the consolidated entity and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

(i) Rendering of Services

Where the work performed in relation to a joint venture or other contract outcome can be reliably measured:

  • right to receive compensation for the services provided and the stage of completion can be reliably measured. Stage of completion is measured by reference to the labour hours performed to date as a percentage of total estimated labour hours in relation to a joint venture or for each contract. Where it is probable that a loss will arise in relation to a joint venture or from a contract, the excess of total costs over revenue is recognised as an expense immediately.

Where the contract outcome cannot be reliably measured:

  • revenue is recognised only to the extent that the costs that have been incurred are recoverable.

Unearned income is recognised in respect of progress billings and advances on exploration contracts in progress, received in advance, or not represented by work done or reimbursable expenditure incurred, under joint venture arrangements. Such income is recognised and brought to account over time as it is earned.

(ii) Interest revenue

Revenue is recognised as interest accrued using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised costs of a financial asset and allocating the interest revenue 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.

All revenue is stated net of Goods and Services Tax ("GST").

(q) Income tax and other taxes

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities based on the current period's taxable income. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets, liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial statements purposes.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Tax consolidation legislation

Sagon Resources Limited and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entity formed a tax consolidated group on 1 July 2008. However, they continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The consolidated entity has applied the stand alone taxpayer approach in determining the appropriate amount of current taxes and deferred taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group. The current and deferred tax amounts are measured in a systematic manner that is consistent with the broad principles in AASB 112 Income Taxes.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, Sagon Resources Limited also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax consolidated group.

Members of the tax consolidated group have not entered into a tax funding agreement and as no current tax assets or liabilities or deferred tax assets are recognised in relation to tax losses or unused tax credits, no contributions or distributions are required to be made under AASB Int 1052 Tax Consolidation Accounting.

Other taxes

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:

  • · when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and
  • · receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified as part of operating cash flows.

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

(r) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated as profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated as profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted for:

  • costs of servicing equity (other than dividends);
  • the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and
  • other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

(s) Exploration Expenditure

Exploration and evaluation costs are accumulated and accounted for separately on an area of interest basis. An area of interest is represented by an exploration project, which may include multiple tenements within a single geographic region.

For each area of interest, the company makes an election regarding its treatment of exploration and evaluation expenditure and whether it will be charged to the income statement as incurred, under the expense category "exploration expenditure," or capitalised as an exploration and evaluation asset.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

An exploration and evaluation can only be recognised in relation to an area of interest if the following conditions are satisfied:

  • a) the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and
  • b) at least one of the following conditions is also met:
  • (i) the exploration and evaluation expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; and
  • (ii) exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not at the end of the reporting period reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.

Capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditures are recorded as an exploration asset at cost less impairment charges. All capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure are monitored for indicators of impairment. Where an impairment indicator is identified, an assessment is performed for each area of interest to which the exploration and evaluation expenditure is attributed. To the extent that capitalised expenditure is not expected to be recovered it is charged to the income statement.

Exploration expenditure in relation to the joint operations managed by the consolidated entity is funded by the jointly controlled operation partner. The consolidated entity makes a cash call for expenditure at the beginning of each quarter for these joint operations on the basis of forecast expenditure. The consolidated entity recognises exploration expenditure reimbursed in advance at year end in the event that cash has been received in advance of expenditure. Exploration expenditure in respect of these joint operations is classified in the statement of comprehensive income within the income or expense category "Net joint venture reimbursed expenses".

(t) Financial Liabilities and Equity Instruments Issued by the Consolidated Entity

  • (i) Classification as debt or equity Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual agreement.
  • (ii) Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

(iii) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities 'at fair value through profit and loss' or 'other financial liabilities'.

(iv) Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities, including borrowings, are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs.

Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financially liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

The directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial statements based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Company.

Key estimates and judgements

(i) Impairment – general

The Company assesses impairment at the end of each reporting period by evaluation of conditions and events specific to the Company that may be indicative of impairment triggers. Recoverable amounts of relevant assets are reassessed using value-in-use calculations, which incorporate various key assumptions. No impairment is recognised for the Hong Kong Gold Project because the Company has an ongoing right to explore over the project with substantive ongoing exploration planned, the Company has not decided to discontinue exploration in the project area, and insufficient data exists that could indicate that the carrying amount of the project is unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development or by sale.

(ii) Share-based payment transaction

The Consolidated entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using a Black-Scholes model, using the assumptions detailed in Note 25.

(b) Capital Risk Management

When managing capital, management's objective is to ensure the entity continues as a going concern as well as to maintain appropriate returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. Management also aims to maintain a capital structure that ensures an appropriate cost of capital available for the entity.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the entity may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares, enter into joint ventures or sell assets.

The entity does not have a defined share buy-back plan.

No dividends were paid in the year ended 30 June 2019 and no dividends are expected to be paid in the 2019/20 financial year.

The consolidated entity is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

Management reviews management accounts on a monthly basis and actual expenditures against budget on a monthly basis.

1,002,131 1,446,294

Included in overall commitments calculations are estimates of the Company's expected commitments in respect of its sole funded exploration licences.

All the exploration expenditure commitments are non-binding, in respect of outstanding expenditure commitments, in that the Company or its joint venture partners have the option to relinquish and lose these licences or their contractual commitments at any stage, at the cost of its cumulative expenditures up to the point of relinquishment.

Refer to Note 18 for details of Jointly Controlled Operations.

(b) Operating Lease Commitments

The Company has no operating lease commitments.

20. COMMITMENTS (continued)

(c) Contractual Commitments

The Company entered an agreement to acquire up to 100% of three cobalt licences in Morocco.

As at the balance date, the Company had acquired a 20% interest in these cobalt licences via the completion of the first stage of the acquisition by acquiring an initial 20% interest in Atlas Managem S.A.R.L, which holds three Moroccan licences. The Board is currently reviewing its strategy and options for the Morocco Cobalt Project and at this point, has elected not to progress with Stage 2 of the acquisition of Atlas Managem.

The remaining stages of the acquisition, which at this time the Directors have elected not to proceed with, are as follows:

  • ("Stage 2"): payment of US\$200,000 and issue of 120 million fully paid ordinary shares in Sagon within 6 months and 5 days from the completion of Stage 1, in consideration for a further 20% interest;
  • ("Stage 3"): payment of US\$200,000 and issue of 120 million fully paid ordinary shares in Sagon within 6 months and 5 days from the completion of Stage 2, in consideration for a further 20% interest;
  • ("Stage 4"): payment of US\$200,000 and issue of 120 million fully paid ordinary shares in Sagon within 6 months and 5 days from the completion of Stage 3, in consideration for a further 20% interest; and
  • ("Stage 5"): payment of US\$200,000 and issue of 120 million fully paid ordinary shares in Sagon within 6 months and 5 days from the completion of Stage 4, in consideration for a further 20% interest, such that Sagon (or a subsidiary of Sagon) will have acquired or been issued a 100% interest at the completion of Stage 5.

21. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

    1. In accordance with normal industry practice the consolidated entity has entered into joint venture operations and farm-in agreements with other parties for the purpose of exploring and developing its mineral interests in New South Wales. If a party to a joint venture defaults and does not contribute its share of joint venture obligations, then the other joint venture partners are liable to meet those obligations. In this event the interest in the tenements held by the defaulting party may be redistributed to the remaining joint venture partners. A contingent liability exists in respect of contributions due to be paid by farm-in partners of the economic entity to some of its joint ventures. However, no material losses are anticipated in respect of any of these contingencies as expenditure commitments, if not recovered from joint venture partners, can be terminated through exploration licence relinquishment at any stage.
    1. During the year ended 30 June 2017, the Company acquired the Leogang Cobalt‐Nickel Sulphide Project in Austria. In the event that Sagon elects to mine the Leogang Project a further \$300,000 "finder's fee" will be payable, in a mix of cash and shares.

25. SHARE-BASED PAYMENT EXPENSE (continued)

In addition to the above performance rights, 400,000,000 performance rights were issued to Mr D Lenigas on 20 August 2018 and 50,000,000 performance rights were issued to a consultant on 18 January 2019. The Board determined that the milestones of the performance rights issued to Mr Lenigas and the consultant were incapable of satisfaction due to Mr Lenigas and the consultant no longer being engaged by the Company. The rights lapsed prior to 30 June 2019 and were valued at a fair value of nil. Accordingly, no amount has been recognised for these performance rights in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income for the year ended 30 June 2019.

28. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The consolidated entity's principal financial instruments comprise cash and short-term deposits.

The main purpose of these financial instruments is to finance the consolidated entity's operations. The consolidated entity has various other financial assets and liabilities such as trade receivables and trade payables, which arise directly from its operations. It is, and has been throughout the entire period under review, the consolidated entity's policy that no trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken.

For all financial instruments of the Company, the carrying value approximates the fair value.

The main risk arising from the consolidated entity's financial instruments is cash flow interest rate risk. Other minor risks are either summarised below or disclosed at Note 10 in the case of credit risk and Note 15 in the case of capital risk management. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks.

28. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (continued)

(a) Cash Flow Interest Rate Risk

The consolidated entity's exposure to the risks of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the consolidated entity's short-term deposits with a floating interest rate. These financial assets with variable rates expose the consolidated entity to cash flow interest rate risk. All other financial assets and liabilities in the form of receivables and payables are non-interest bearing. The consolidated entity does not engage in any hedging or derivative transactions to manage interest rate risk. In regard to its interest rate risk, the consolidated entity continuously analyses its exposure. Within this analysis consideration is given to potential renewals of existing positions, alternative investments and the mix of fixed and variable interest rates. The sensitivity to the movement in interest rates for the likely range of outcomes is immaterial.

Based on the sensitivity analysis only interest revenue from variable rate deposits and cash balances is impacted, resulting in a decrease or increase in overall income.

(b) Liquidity risk

The consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash reserves and through the continuous monitoring of budgeted and actual cash flows. Further, the consolidated entity only invests surplus cash with major financial institutions.

Contracted maturities of payables:

- less than 6 months 165,869 97,272
- 6 to 12 months - -
- 1 to 5 years - -
- later than 5 years - -
Total 165,869 97,272

(c) Commodity price risk

The consolidated entity has no direct commodity exposures.

(d) Foreign currency risk

The consolidated entity undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currency and is exposed to foreign currency risk through foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised financial assets and financial liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the entity's functional currency. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting. Given the current level of transactions denominated in foreign currency, the Directors consider foreign current risk not material.

(e) Carrying values of financial instruments not recognised at fair value

Due to their short term nature, the carrying value of financial assets and financial liabilities, not recognised at fair value, recorded in the financial statements approximates their respective fair values, determined in accordance with accounting policies disclosed in Note 2 of the financial statements.

The Directors of Sagon Resources Limited declare that:

    1. In the opinion of the Directors:
  • (a) the attached financial statements and the notes thereto of the Company and of the consolidated entity are in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
    • (i) giving a true and fair view of the Company's and consolidated entity's financial position as at 30 June 2019 and of their performance for the year ended on that date; and
    • (ii) complying with Accounting Standards;
  • (b) the attached financial statements and the notes thereto of the Company and of the consolidated entity are in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board; and
  • (c) there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Company will be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable.
    1. This declaration has been made after receiving the declarations required to be made to the Directors in accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act 2001 for the financial year ending 30 June 2019.

Signed in accordance with a resolution of directors made pursuant to Section 295(5) of the Corporations Act 2001.

On behalf of the Board
