Directors

The following persons were Directors of Red Mountain Mining during the financial year and to the date of this report:

Jeremy King Non-Executive Director (Appointed 19 July 2016) Jason Bontempo Non-Executive Director (Appointed 1 July 2016; Resigned 1 December 2016) Lincoln Ho Non-Executive Director (Appointed 1 July 2016) Robert Parton Non-Executive Director (Appointed 1 July 2016; Resigned 19 July 2016; Re-appointed 1 December 2016) Neil Warburton Non-Executive Chairman (Removed 1 July 2016) Jon Dugdale Managing Director (Resigned 1 July 2016) Michael Wolley Non-Executive Director (Removed 1 July 2016)

Review of Operations

During the year, Red Mountain Mining Ltd ( Red Mountain , the Company or RMX ) continued to assess opportunities consistent with its strategy of acquiring, exploring and developing gold, base and energy metal mining projects.

RED VALLEY LITHIUM BRINES PROJECT

Commentary

On 26 October 2016, the Company announced it had entered into an exploration and earn-in agreement ( Earn-In Agreement ) in respect of the Red Valley Project, a Lithium brine project located in Utah, United States ( Red Valley Project ).

Under the Earn-In Agreement, Red Mountain agreed to fund initial drilling at existing, mapped targets and conduct chemical analysis of the Red Valley Project. Following analysis of the drilling results for Lithium enrichment, Red Mountain has the right to acquire 51% of the Red Valley Project for US$250,000. Should RMX elect to proceed with the acquisition, a joint venture will be formed and the Company will have right to increase its ownership to 80% of the Red Valley Project by meeting certain expenditure requirements on the Red Valley Project. After that, the joint venture will become a contributing arrangement with customary dilution provisions. The initial drilling and analysis at each prospect at the Red Valley project was conducted during the relevant period. The Board concluded that the results of such drilling did not justify continued work, and the Company notified the earn-in partner that it would not be proceeding to acquire 51% of the project. The Company posted an environmental bond of approximately US$40,000 to the relevant regulator in Utah, and has minor remedial obligations to fulfill including re-seeding the drilled area before it can retrieve that bond amount.

MOKABE-KASIRI COBALT COPPER PROJECT

Commentary

On 21 March 2017, the Company announced it had entered into a binding exclusivity and earn-in agreement with CoCu Metals Ltd ( CoCu ) which controls 100% of the Mokabe-Kasiri Cobalt-Copper project ( Mokabe Cobalt-Copper Project ) in the Katanga Province of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Africa ( Agreement ). During the period, by mutual agreement with CoCu, the Company extended the due diligence period to 19 May 2017 before a further extension until 30 June 2017.

As announced on 22 May 2017, the Company and CoCu varied the Agreement ( Amendment Agreement ) such that the Mokabe Cobalt-Copper Project comprised a total contiguous land package of 116km[2] . This represents a more targeted approach to the Project, while preserving the optionality required for a highly prospective exploration project.

Red Mountain Mining Annual Report – 30 June 2017

Red Mountain Mining Ltd and its controlled entities

In addition, revised earn-in terms have been agreed as part of the Amendment Agreement, representing a significant improvement from RMX’s perspective.

Pursuant to the Amendment Agreement, the Company has the right, solely at its election, to earn-in to the Project by way of incurring expenditure as follows:

Phase Exploration Expenditure CoCu interest RMX interest
1 A$250,000 50% 50%
2 A$250,000 30% 70%
3 A$250,000 20% 80%

Reconnaissance exploration work including trenching and rock chip sampling work together with laboratory analysis has been undertaken in the Mokabe Cobalt-Copper Project area.

BATANGAS GOLD PROJECT

Commentary

The Batangas Gold Project (the Project ) is located 120 km south of Manila on the Island of Luzon in the Philippines. The Project is accessible by sealed road from Manila to Lobo township then by well-formed roads to the Lobo resources, 2 km to the east of Lobo, and 15 km via the coastal road to the Archangel (Kay Tanda) resources.

The Project includes two Mineral Production Sharing Agreements ( MPSA’s ), the Lobo MPSA 176-2002-IV and the Archangel MPSA 177-2002-IV, that contain all of the identified resources. In addition, the Project includes 8 granted Exploration Permits ( EP’s ) and 3 EP applications (see Figure 1 below).

On 2 December 2016, the Company advised that it had entered into a transaction with Philippines based company and 25% Batangas Gold Project joint venture partner, Bluebird Merchant Ventures Ltd ( Bluebird ), concerning RMX’s 75% interest in the Batangas Gold Project ( Agreement ).

Under the terms of the Agreement, Bluebird acquired the remaining balance of the Batangas Gold Project in exchange for 1.25 million fully paid ordinary shares in Bluebird plus a perpetual 1% net smelter production royalty over the Batangas Gold Project. Bluebird is a Philippines based company listed on the main board of the London Stock Exchange.

Furthermore, should Bluebird sell 50% or more of the Bantagas Gold Project within 12 months of settlement under the Agreement then it shall share the net proceeds of such sale with RMX on a 50/50 basis.

CORPORATE

Board Changes

On 5 May 2016, the Company received a notice under section 249D of the Corporations Act ( Section 249D Notice ) from certain requisitioning shareholders. The Section 249D Notice requisitioned a general meeting of the Company seeking removal of the then Directors of the Company ( General Meeting ). The General Meeting was held on 1 July 2016.

(b) Remuneration governance

Nomination and Remuneration Committee

From 1 July 2016, the full Board assumed the responsibilities of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee in accordance with its Charter.

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is primarily responsible for making recommendations to the Board on:

  • the over-arching remuneration framework;

  • operation of the incentive plans which apply to the Executive team, including key performance indicators and performance hurdles;

  • remuneration levels of executive Directors and other Key Management Personnel; and

  • • Non-executive Director fees.

The Committee’s objective is to ensure that remuneration policies and structures are fair and competitive and aligned with the long-term interests of the Group.

(c) Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

The principles of the Group’s executive strategy and supporting incentive programs and frameworks are:

  • motivating senior executives to pursue the long-term growth and success of the Group;

  • demonstrating a clear relationship between senior executives’ performance and remuneration;

  • attracting and retaining senior executives and Directors; and

  • not paying excessive remuneration.

Red Mountain Mining has structured a remuneration framework that is market competitive and complementary to the reward strategy of the Group. The remuneration packages are reviewed annually by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee (or the Board in accordance with the Nomination and Remuneration Committee Charter) and evaluation is based on specific criteria including business performance of the Company (e.g. share price, market capitalisation, performance against budget) and its subsidiaries, whether Company objectives are being achieved and the development of management and personnel. The remuneration structure that has been adopted by the Group consists of the following components:

  • fixed remuneration being annual salary;

  • short term incentives, being cash bonuses and

  • long term incentives, being employee share schemes.

Executive Directors’ remuneration has been structured to reflect short and long-term performance objectives appropriate to the Group’s circumstances and Company objectives.

Executive Directors’ and senior executives’ remuneration packages involve a balance between fixed and incentive-based pay, reflecting short and long-term performance objectives appropriate to the Group’s circumstances and strategic objectives.

  • no Director is involved in setting their own remuneration or terms and conditions and in such a case relevant Directors are required to be absent from the full Board discussion;

  • Non-Executive Directors do not have other responsibilities incurring fees beyond the Director fees; and

Red Mountain Mining Annual Report – 30 June 2017

Red Mountain Mining Ltd and its controlled entities NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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

The financial statements comprise the consolidated financial statements for the Group. For the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Company is a for-profit entity.

The accounting policies detailed below have been consistently applied to all of the years presented unless otherwise stated. This financial report is for the Group consisting of Red Mountain Mining Ltd and its controlled entities.

This financial report is presented in Australian dollars.

A description of the nature of the Consolidated Entity’s operations and its principal activities is included in the Directors’ Report, which is not part of this financial report.

The financial report was authorised for issue by the Directors on 29 September 2017. The Company has the power to amend and reissue the financial report.

Red Mountain Mining Limited (“Red Mountain Mining” or the “Company”) is a limited company incorporated in Australia. The address of its registered office is Level 1, 1 Altona Street, West Perth WA 6005.

Statement of Compliance

Red Mountain Mining is a for-profit entity. These financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.

These financial statements comprise the consolidated financial statements of Red Mountain Mining and its controlled entities (“the Group”).

Basis of preparation of the financial report

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost convention and the accrued basis, as explained in the accounting policies below.

Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards

The Company has adopted all the new and revised Standards that are relevant to its operations and effective for the reporting period starting from 1 July 2016.

At the date of authorisation of the financial statements, the Company has not applied the new Standards and Interpretations that were in issue but not yet effective.

Significant accounting estimates and judgements

(i) Significant accounting judgments

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

25

Red Mountain Mining Annual Report – 30 June 2017

Red Mountain Mining Ltd and its controlled entities NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(ii) Exploration and evaluation assets

The Group’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure is set out in Note 6. The application of this policy necessarily requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions as to future events and circumstances, in particular, the assessment of whether economic quantities of reserves are found. Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. If, after having capitalised expenditure under this policy, the Directors conclude that the Group is unlikely to recover the expenditure by future exploration or sale, then the relevant capitalised amount will be written off to profit or loss.

(iii) Share-based payment transactions

The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value of options issued is determined by using BlackScholes valuation model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. For performance rights issued, the fair value is determined by using the share price on grant date taking into account the probability of meeting the market based conditions at grant date. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all entities controlled by the Company as at 30 June 2017 and the results of all controlled entities for the financial year then ended. The Company and its controlled entities together are referred to in this financial report as the Group or the Consolidated Entity.

Subsidiaries are all those entities (including special purpose entities) over which the parent entity has control if it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiaries and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiaries, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

26

Red Mountain Mining Annual Report – 30 June 2017

Red Mountain Mining Ltd and its controlled entities NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised income and expenses on transactions between Group companies are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Foreign currency translation

Both the functional and presentation currency of Red Mountain Mining Ltd and its subsidiaries is Australian dollars.

Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency.

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency by applying the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date.

All exchange differences in the consolidated financial report are taken to profit or loss with the exception of differences on foreign currency borrowings that provide a hedge against a net investment in a foreign entity. These are taken directly to equity until the disposal of the net investment, at which time they are recognised in profit or loss.

Tax charges and credits attributable to exchange differences on those borrowings are also recognised in equity.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction.

Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss.

The functional currency of the foreign operations, Red Mountain Mining (Singapore) Pte Ltd is USD, Red Mountain (Hong Kong) Holdings is HKD and RMX USA Corporation is USD.

As at the reporting date, the assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated into the presentation currency of Red Mountain Mining Ltd at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date and income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuated significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used.

The exchange differences arising on the translation are taken directly to a separate component of equity, being recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve.

On disposal of a foreign operation (i.e. a disposal of the Group’s entire interest in a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, or a partial disposal of an interest in a joint arrangement or an associate that includes a foreign operation of which the retained interest becomes a financial asset), all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation attributable to the owners of the Company are reclassified to profit or loss.

In addition, in relation to the partial disposal of a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation that does not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiary, the proportionate share of accumulated exchange differences are re-attributed to non-controlling interests and are not recognised in profit or loss. For all other partial disposals (i.e. partial disposals of associates or jointly arrangements that do not result in the Group losing significant influence or joint control), the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange differences is reclassified to profit or loss.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed through acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

Red Mountain Mining Annual Report – 30 June 2017

Red Mountain Mining Ltd and its controlled entities NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

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 2017. The Directors’ assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the Group, are set out below.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments

This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard replaces all previous versions of AASB 9 and completes the project to replace IAS 39 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement'. AASB 9 introduces new classification and measurement models for financial assets. A financial asset shall be measured at amortised cost, if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, which arise on specified dates and solely principal and interest. All other financial instrument assets are to be classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss unless the entity makes an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on equity instruments (that are not held-for-trading) in other comprehensive income ('OCI'). For financial liabilities, the standard requires the portion of the change in fair value that relates to the entity's own credit risk to be presented in OCI (unless it would create an accounting mismatch). New simpler hedge accounting requirements are intended to more closely align the accounting treatment with the risk management activities of the entity. New impairment requirements will use an 'expected credit loss' ('ECL') model to recognise an allowance. Impairment will be measured under a 12-month ECL method unless the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition in which case the lifetime ECL method is adopted. The standard introduces additional new disclosures. The Group will adopt this standard from 1 July 2018 and has assessed the impact to be insignificant.

28

Red Mountain Mining Annual Report – 30 June 2017

Red Mountain Mining Ltd and its controlled entities NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard provides a single standard for revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is that an entity will recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard will require: contracts (either written, verbal or implied) to be identified, together with the separate performance obligations within the contract; determine the transaction price, adjusted for the time value of money excluding credit risk; allocation of the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on a basis of relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service, or estimation approach if no distinct observable prices exist; and recognition of revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. Credit risk will be presented separately as an expense rather than adjusted to revenue. For goods, the performance obligation would be satisfied when the customer obtains control of the goods. For services, the performance obligation is satisfied when the service has been provided, typically for promises to transfer services to customers. For performance obligations satisfied over time, an entity would select an appropriate measure of progress to determine how much revenue should be recognised as the performance obligation is satisfied. Contracts with customers will be 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. Sufficient quantitative and qualitative disclosure is required to enable users to understand the contracts with customers; the significant judgments made in applying the guidance to those contracts; and any assets recognised from the costs to obtain or fulfil a contract with a customer. The Group will adopt this standard from 1 July 2018 and expects the impact to be insignificant as there is no revenue contract in the Group.

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. The Group has material operating leases with a term 12 months or longer. Therefore it is expected the impact as above will be significant.

Revenue is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances, rebates and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

Interest income

Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be reliably measured. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that assets’ net carrying amount on initial recognition.

The potential future income tax benefit will only be obtained if:

(i) the Company derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit to be realised;

(ii) the Company continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by law; and

(iii) no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Company in realising the benefit.

No deferred tax assets have been recognised due to the fact that it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses can be utilised.

The franking account balance at year end was nil.

31

Red Mountain Mining Annual Report – 30 June 2017

Red Mountain Mining Ltd and its controlled entities NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 3. Income tax (continued)

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the Company’s subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

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. 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 and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except:

  • when the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of 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 profit nor taxable profit or loss; or

  • when the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets 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, except:

  • when the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or

  • when the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.

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.

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 balance date.

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

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 are classified as operating cash flows.

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

Impairment of trade receivables is continually reviewed and those that are considered to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. An allowance account is used when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original contractual terms. Factors considered by the Group in making this determination include known significant financial difficulties of the debtor, review of financial information and significant delinquency in making contractual payments to the Group. The impairment allowance is set equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the receivable and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Where receivables are short-term discounting is not applied in determining the allowance.

The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. When a trade receivable for which an impairment allowance had been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other expenses in the statement of comprehensive income.

The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk is disclosed in Note 22. Carrying value of trade and other receivables approximates fair value due to short-term nature. There are no impaired receivables as at the reporting date.

Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales for such asset (or disposal groups) and the sale is highly probable. Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a complete sale within one year from the date of classification.

When the Group is committed to a sale plan involving loss of control of a subsidiary, all of the assets and liabilities of that subsidiary are classified as held for sale when the criteria described above are met, regardless of whether the Group will retain a non-controlling interest om it former subsidiary, after the sale.

When the Group is committed to a sale plan involving disposal of an investment, or a portion of an investment, in an associate or joint venture, the investment or the portion of the investment that will be disposed of is classified as held for sale when the criteria described above are met, and the Group discontinues the use of the equity method in relation to the portion that is classified as held for sale. Any retained portion of an investment in an associate or joint venture that has not been classified as held for sale continues to be accounted for using the equity method. The Group discontinues the use of the equity method at the time of disposal when the disposal results in the Group losing significant influence over the associate or joint venture.

After the disposal takes place, the Group accounts for any retained interest in the associate or joint venture in accordance with AASB 139 unless the retained interest continues to be an associate or a joint venture, in which case the Group uses the equity method.

  • (i) On 30 November 2016, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Red Mountain Mining (Singapore) Pte Ltd (RMMS) entered into a transaction with the Batangas Gold Pproject joint venture partner, Bluebird Merchant Ventures Ltd (BMVL). Under the terms of the transaction, BMVL will acquire 100% of the Batangas Gold Pproject in exchange for issuing 1.25 million shares in BMVL plus a perpetual 1% net smelter production royalty over the Batangas Gold Project and the return of BMVL’s 25% shareholding interest in RMMS.

The shareholders of RMMS approved the transaction at an EGM held 16 February 2017.

Exploration and evaluation expenditures in relation to each separate area of interest are recognised as an exploration and evaluation asset in the year in which they are incurred where the following conditions are satisfied:

  • the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and

  • at least one of the following conditions is also met:

  • 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; or

  • exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not at the reporting date 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.

Exploration and evaluation assets are initially measured at cost and include acquisition of rights to explore, studies, exploratory drilling, trenching and sampling and associated activities and an allocation of depreciation and amortised of assets used in exploration and evaluation activities. General and administrative costs are only included in the measurement of exploration and evaluation costs where they are related directly to operational activities in a particular area of interest.

Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the exploration and evaluation asset (for the cash generating unit(s) to which it has been allocated being no larger than the relevant area of interest) is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in previous years.

Where a decision has been made to proceed with development in respect of a particular area of interest, the relevant exploration and evaluation asset is tested for impairment and the balance is then reclassified to development.

Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Such cost includes the cost of replacing parts that are eligible for capitalisation when the cost of replacing the parts is incurred. Similarly, when each major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement only if it is eligible for capitalisation.

Depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:

Class of Fixed Asset Depreciation Rate Plant and equipment 18.75%-50%

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

Note 7 . Plant and Equipment (continued)

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 or disposal.

Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised.

Impairment

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

The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, recoverable amount is determined for the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs, unless the asset's value in use can be estimated to approximate fair value.

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 profit or loss.

The Group’s exposure to liquidity and foreign exchange risk related to trade and other payables is disclosed in Note 22. The carrying amount approximates fair value due to short-term nature.

Trade and other payables

Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months.

Wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave

Liabilities accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, long service leave and vesting sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and are measured at the rates paid or payable.

Liabilities accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, long service leave and vesting sick leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in non-current other payables in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date. They are measured as the present value of the estimated future outflows to be made by the Group.

Red Mountain Mining Annual Report – 30 June 2017

Red Mountain Mining Ltd and its controlled entities NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 17. Share-based payments (continued)

Equity settled transactions

The Group provides benefits to employees (including senior executives) of the Group in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity-settled transactions).

The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using an appropriate valuation model.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the vesting period).

The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. The statement of comprehensive income charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period.

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is only conditional upon a market condition.

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. In addition, an 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 had 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.

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

  • costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share 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.

Note 20. Dividends

The Board does not recommend the payment of a dividend for the financial year ended 30 June 2017. No dividends were paid during the financial year.

Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the entity, on or before the end of the reporting period but not distributed at the end of the reporting period.

Note 21. Operating Segments

Based on AASB 8, Red Mountain Mining Ltd operates predominantly in one segment, being the mining and exploration industry.

AASB 8 Operating Segments requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance.

The Group’s operating segments have been determined with reference to the monthly management accounts used by the Chief Operating Decision maker to make decisions regarding the Group’s operations and allocation of working capital. Due to the size and nature of the Group, the Board as a whole has been determined as the Chief Operating Decision Maker.

The revenues and results of this segment are those of the Group as a whole and are set out in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and the assets and liabilities of the Group as a whole are set out in the consolidated statement of financial position.

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.

Risk management is carried out by the full Board of Directors. The Board identifies and evaluates financial risks in close co-operation with management and provides written principles for overall risk management.

As the Group’s major assets are cash deposits held in fixed and variable interest rate deposits, the Group’s income and operating cash flows are materially exposed to changes in market interest rates. The Group manages this risk by only investing in A+ rated institutions and maintaining an appropriate mix between different terms.

At reporting date, the Group had the following exposure to variable interest rate risk.

Interest rate sensitivity analysis

Weighted average interest rate for the financial year ended 30 June 2017 was 2.09% (2016: 10.46%). At 30 June 2017, if interest rates had been 1% higher or lower than the prevailing rates realised, with all other variables held constant, the effect on post-tax profit as a result of changes in the interest rates would be as follows:

Currency risk

The Group’s subsidiary based in Hong Kong and its sustainability is dependent on the provision of cash from the parent entity. Cash funds in Hong Kong are held in Hong Kong dollars, US dollars and Australian Dollars. The Group’s subsidiary based in Singapore and its sustainability is dependent on the provision of cash from its parent entity. Cash funds in Singapore are held in US Dollars.

The Group manages its currency risks by closely monitoring exchange rate fluctuations.

Foreign currency risk sensitivity analysis

The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk at the reporting date was as follows:

30 June 2017 USD
Cash and cash equivalents 1,275
Total foreign currencies 1,275
Total converted into AUD 1,658
30 June 2016 USD
Cash and cash equivalents 106,608
Total foreign currencies 106,608
Total converted into AUD 143,560

Based on the financial instruments held at 30 June 2017, had the Australian dollar strengthened/weakened by 10% against the US dollar with all other variables held constant, the Group’s post-tax profit for the financial year would have been $165 lower/higher (2016: $14,356 lower/higher) and equity would have been $165 lower/higher (2016: $14,356 lower/higher), mainly as a result of foreign exchange losses/gains on translation of US dollar denominated financial instruments as detailed in the above table. Profit or loss is more sensitive to movements in AUD/USD exchange rates. The Group’s exposure to other foreign exchange movements is not material.

Red Mountain Mining Ltd and its controlled entities NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 22. Financial Instruments (continued)

Fair value measurements

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes.

AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

  • quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1)

  • inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly

  • (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (level 2), and

  • inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (level 3).

All financial assets, liabilities and borrowings have been recognised at the reporting date at their net fair values.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivable, payables and borrowings are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturity.

Price risk

The Group is not exposed to equity securities price risk as it holds no investments in securities classified on the statement of financial position either as available-for-sale or at fair value through profit or loss. The Group is not exposed directly to commodity price risk.

Credit Risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group.

Trade receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount. The Group does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to the customers. The credit risk of the Group arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and financial institutions, available- for-sale financial assets, as well as credit exposure to customers, including outstanding receivables. For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a minimum Standard & Poor’s credit rating of A (or equivalent) are accepted. The Group assesses credit risk and allowance for doubtful accounts on a customer specific basis. The Group has adopted the policy of only dealing with credit worthy counterparties. As of 30 June 2017 and 2016, the Group does not have an allowance for doubtful debt accounts.

The maximum credit risk exposure of the Group at 30 June 2017 is $2,799,511 (2016: $1,364,880). There are no impaired receivables at 30 June 2017 (2016: Nil).

The Group’s maximum exposures to credit risk at the reporting date in relation to each class of recognised financial asset is the carrying amount, net of any provision for doubtful debts, of those assets as indicated in the statement of financial position.

Note 23. Contingent liabilities

The Group has no contingent liabilities at 30 June 2017.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed this matte

Carrying Value of Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure Asset Refer to Note 6 in the financial statements

The Group has capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure with a with a carrying value of $99,171 as at 30 June 2017 relating to the Mukabe-Kasiri Project, net of a write off loss recognised in the year ended 30 June 2017 of $505,661 relating to the Red Valley Lithium Brines Project.

We determined this to be a key audit matter due to the significant management judgments involved in assessing the carrying value of the asset including:

  • Determination of whether the exploration and evaluation expenditure can be associated with finding specific mineral resources and the basis on which that expenditure is allocated to the area of interest;

  • Determination of whether exploration activities have reached a stage at which the existence of an economically recoverable reserves may be determined; and

Our audit procedures in relation to the exploration and evaluation expenditure asset included:

  • Ensuring that the right to tenure of the area of interest was current for the Mukabe-Kasiri Project;

  • Agreeing a sample of additions to the exploration and evaluation expenditure asset during the year to supporting documentation and ensuring that the amounts were capital in nature and relate to the area of interest;

  • Through discussions with the management and review of the Board Minutes, ASX announcements and other relevant documentation, assessing management’s determination that exploration activities have not yet progressed to the stage where the existence or otherwise of an economically recoverable reserves may be determined;

  • Enquiring with management and reviewing the

  • Assessing whether any indicators of impairment budget to test that the Group will incur substantive are present, and if so, judgments applied to expenditure on further exploration for and determine and quantify any impairment loss. evaluation of mineral resources on the MukabeKasiri Project;

  • Critically assessing and evaluating management’s assessment that no indicators of impairment existed in relation to the Mukabe-Kasiri Project; and

  • Critically assessing and evaluating management’s assessment that the Red Valley Lithium Brines Project be written off by $505,661 and the appropriate carrying value of this asset at reporting date is $Nil.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly 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.

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group 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.
