DIRECTORS' REPORT
Your Directors present their report on the consolidated entity consisting of Rimfire Pacific Mining NL and the entity it controlled at the end of, or during, the half-year ended 31 December 2020.
DIRECTORS
The names of the Directors of the Company during, or since the end, of the half-year are:
- Ian McCubbing Non-Executive Director and Non-Executive Chairman since 25 July 2016,
- Craig Riley Managing Director since April 2019; CEO since 1 February 2019,
- Andrew Greville Non-Executive Director, since 18 August 2017,
- Andrew Knox Non-Executive Director, since 18 March 2020.
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY
The principal activity of the group is the discovery and development of economic mineral deposits.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The net result for the half-year, after applicable income tax expense, was a loss of $166,532.
The key impact on expenses which impacted the loss compared to the December 2019 half-year (loss $530,451), was the receipt of the administration fee from the execution of the Fifield Project Earn-in with Golden Plains Resources (GPR) and the ongoing focus by the company on ensuring cost-effective disciplines are maintained to ensure a high ratio of "in-ground" expenditure to administration costs continues to be achieved consistently over an extended period.
The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and whilst it has moderately affected operations for the consolidated entity up to 31 December 2020, it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date.
DIVIDENDS
No dividends were paid during the half-year, nor are any recommended.
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
During the half-year, a number of key activities and milestones on the Fifield Project were conducted and reached.
CORPORATE STRATEGY
Focus for the half-year has been on the continued execution of the Company's dual strategy to pursue options to deliver value shifting outcomes at Fifield NSW. The strategy embraces two components:
- Continue the regional discovery pursuit for large scale ore bodies within the broader Fifield area that remains prospective for further discoveries including large scale porphyry style gold or copper / gold systems in the interpreted Ordovician Volcanic geology, and
- Execution of the Fifield Project Earn-in with Golden Plain Resources and the development and monetisation of Sorpresa and the GPR Earn-in area.
PROJECT ACTIVITY DETAIL
Health, Safety, Environment and Community
Health
The Company continues to monitor and comply with the COVID-19 preventive measures and controls authorities require business to apply when undertaking office or field activities. The company has had no cases of COVID-19 amongst employees or contractors although staff have had to comply with various state lockdowns during the past 6 months.
Safety
There have been no significant incidents or injuries in the past 6 months. The Total Year to Date performance for Minor Injuries, Medical Treatment Injuries and Lost Time Injuries remains zero.
Environment
There have been no significant incidents or environmental events in the past 6 months. Rehabilitation from routine drilling activities is ongoing with rehabilitation of aircore drillholes undertaken immediately after drilling. Rehabilitation of RC holes is done shortly after completion of drilling as it is necessary to mobilise a backhoe to assist in cutting PVC precollar at a minimum depth of 0.5m below the existing land surface and covering with a concrete block before backfilling. Diamond drill hole PVC precollars at Sorpresa have been left capped as there is ongoing monitoring of ground water levels from these holes. All work is undertaken in accordance with company environmental rehabilitation processes that satisfy regulatory and landholder requirements.
Community
In preparation for undertaking drilling activities there has been extensive landholder or landowner consultation and coordination meetings. During the drilling program there was regular communication with landholders to ensure company activities had minimal impact on farming activities. There were no problems encountered with property landholders or landowners during the drilling programs.
Sorpresa Development Project – GPR Earn-in
The Golden Plains Resources Pty Ltd (GPR) Earn-in requires $4.5m Earn-in expenditure by GPR over a maximum of three years, which is to be used for in-ground exploration, technical work to obtain mine development approvals and payment of a yearly administration fee to Rimfire. The provision of funding by GPR for an approved mine development plan is also required for GPR to gain a 50.1% equity interest in a 102km2 area around Sorpresa.
The Company completed aircore and RC drilling programs funded solely by the GPR Earn-in for the Sorpresa Development Project (Table 1) with assay results expected in first quarter of 2021. The primary purpose of the drilling was to obtain bedrock lithological, alteration and geochemical samples at planned infrastructure locations or nearby untested or partially tested prospects.
The aircore drilling at the Sorpresa Development Project consisted of:
- 26 holes totalling 670m at the Gravity Jog Prospect immediately south of the Sorpresa Development Project obtained bedrock samples from an interesting structural feature identified from geophysical (magnetics and gravity) that warrants further testing.
- 7 holes totalling 262m at the Sorpresa Development Project obtained bedrock samples from areas where it is proposed to place infrastructure. This information will help guide decisions on suitable location for mine infrastructure such as process plant.
- 21 holes totalling 559m at Northern Gold Prospect to obtain bedrock samples from a sectional line across the zone of historical gold pits with a footprint of 400m by 80m.
The RC drilling at the Sorpresa Development Project consisted of:
-
4 holes totalling 376m at 114 Corridor to obtain bedrock samples from interpreted shallower updip extension of a historical deeper gold intercept of 1m at 114g/t Au from 159m downhole depth (ASX Announcement: Bonanza Grade 17 July 2013). This structure is a north west / south east feature that cross cuts the Sorpresa mineralisation.
-
3 holes totalling 231m at Transit Prospect to obtain bedrock samples to better understand the geometry of previous intersected mineralization (ASX Announcement: Gold at Transit 19 Sept 2017).

Table 1: Drilling Program Summary Activities
The Rimfire and GPR Earn-in Management Committee awarded the Lead Environmental Consultant contract to the ERIAS Group who will be responsible for delivering the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) that are essential requirements for obtaining Development Consent for the Sorpresa project.
Regional Discovery Program – 100% Rimfire
Rimfire continues to focus on the discovery a large scale ore body in the broader Fifield area that is prospective for porphyry style gold or copper / gold systems in interpreted Ordovician Volcanics as Ordovician age rocks also host the nearby Cowal gold (Evolution Mining), Northparkes copper / gold (China Molybdenum) and Cadia Valley Operations copper / gold (Newcrest) mines within circa 150km of Fifield.
"The Valley" drilling program consists of 5 x 150m RC / diamond tail drill holes to test Induced Polarisation (IP) features (zones of anomalous chargeability and resistivity responses in the bedrock substrate). The Valley target is approximately 5km west of the Kincora Copper / RareX Mordialloc porphyry copper / gold target (Figure 1).
During the half-year, 2 reverse circulation (RC) holes totalling 296m were completed at "The Valley" prospect with assay results expected in first quarter of 2021. Harvesting activities in the local area meant the 3 remaining holes were postponed until 2021.

Figure 1: Location Plan of Valley Target
Tenement Position
There has also been ongoing routine submittal of various compliance reports including Annual Technical Reports (under IMER standards) to NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment – Resources and Geoscience to meet government compliance requirements for Rimfire's Exploration Licences and M(c)L's.
The Company continues to maintain its tenements in the Fifield area covering an area of 915km2 . The Company maintained its tenement interest in the Broken Hill area of 78km2 with Perilya as operator.
CORPORATE ACTIVITIES
Management Changes
There have been no changes to the Company's management during the half-year.
Annual General Meeting
During the half-year, the Company, held its Annual General Meeting. Ian McCubbing and Andrew Knox were both re-elected as Directors and all other resolutions were passed except for the resolution relating to the renewal of 7.1A Increased capacity of capital raising.
Cash, Funding and Capital Structure
The Company's cash at bank at 31 December 2020 was $2.12 million. In addition to this cash balance there was $0.46 million available for earn-in work programs in the Earn-in bank account (GPR pay cash calls into a separate account which Rimfire draws down on to fund work programs in the Earn-in Area).
A Private Placement to sophisticated investors and a Share Purchase Plan were undertaken during the half-year and successfully raised $2.6 million before costs from the issue of 208,000,000 New Ordinary Shares.
The funds raised by the placement and Share Purchase Plan provides additional working capital and enables Rimfire to continue with its exploration work programs at the Fifield Project area in central NSW.
Senior Management exercised 25,192,308 options during the half-year for issue of 13,673,208 ordinary shares and continue to hold these shares in the company.
As at 31 December 2020 the capital structure of the company was:
- Fully Paid Ordinary Shares (RIM) 1,806,244,735,
- Unlisted Options 30,000,000.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT To the Members of Rimfire Pacific Mining NL
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Rimfire Pacific Mining NL which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors' declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year end or from time to time during the half-year.
Directors' Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 31 December 2020 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of Rimfire Pacific Mining NL, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of Rimfire Pacific Mining NL, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's report.

Conclusion
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Rimfire Pacific Mining NL is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
- (a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 31 December 2020 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
- (b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001.
