REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND RESULTS

Philippines Interests

RTG holds a 40% interest in Mt. Labo Exploration and Development Corporation ("Mt. Labo") which holds the highgrade Copper and Gold Mabilo Project in the Philippines. During the year, Mt. Labo received written confirmation that the Mines and Geosciences Bureau ("MGB") had approved the expansion of the current Mineral Production Sharing Agreement ("MPSA") No. MLC-MRD-459 for the Nalesbitan Project to include the Mabilo Project, which has already secured an approved Declared Mine Feasibility Study and Environmental Clearance certificate.

On August 21, 2020, the Tribunal handed down a favourable Final Award to Mt. Labo in the international arbitration against Galeo Equipment Corporation ("Galeo") in the Singapore International Arbitration Centre ("SIAC"). Mt. Labo prevailed on all matters considered important including a determination that the Joint Venture Agreement ("JVA") with Galeo was validly terminated, the compromise agreement was validly rescinded, Galeo is not entitled to any shares in Mt. Labo, Galeo was not a co-permittee of the Mt. Labo Exploration Permit and Galeo is not the operator of the project. The Tribunal ordered Galeo to pay damages of approximately US\$18.6m (plus interest at 6% from various dates, currently in the order of US\$4.6 million) and legal costs, including the Tribunal's fees of approximately S\$7.45m. That represents a total monetary award in favour of Mt. Labo of approximately A\$31.4 million plus interest of approximately A\$5.9 million, as at December 31, 2020.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND RESULTS – continued

Philippines Interests - continued

On December 10, 2020, the Company announced that the Regional Trial Court of Quezon City in the Philippines had dismissed the Petition for Refusal of Recognition and Enforcement of a Foreign Arbitral Award ("Refusal Petition") with prayer for issuance of a Writ for Preliminary Injunction ("Application for Injunction") filed by Galeo against Mt. Labo, with respect to the enforcement of the SIAC Final Award in the Philippines. The Order recognised that the requisites at law for the issuance of a writ of injunction were absent, and that the Refusal Petition, and consequentially the Application for Injunction, failed on jurisdictional grounds. Galeo continues to pursue legal avenues in the Philippines and Singapore to set aside the SIAC Final Award or avoid enforceability in the Philippines however Mt. Labo's counsel advise that in their opinion there is not a valid legal basis for the applications.

Having secured the Mining Permit and successful Final Award in the SIAC matter, Mt. Labo has received a number of debt finance and offtake term sheets that will 100% finance the start-up capital costs for Stage 1 of the Mabilo Project, the Direct Shipping Operation. Progress on the ground in preparation for a commitment to development is proceeding well with Mines and Geosciences Bureau being very supportive of the efforts to fast-track start-up of the project.

Kyrgyz Republic Interests

RTG completed the acquisition of the majority (90%) stake in the high grade Chanach Gold and Copper Project ("Chanach Project") in the Kyrgyz Republic in the prior year. RTG is the manager and operator of the Chanach Project Joint Venture company (Chanach LLC) and will solely fund operating expenditures until completion of a Bankable Feasibility Study, at which time, funding will then be contributed on a pro-rata basis in accordance with Chanach Project interests.

The Chanach Project Prospecting Licence was successfully converted to an Exploration Licence that was finalised and granted during the December 31, 2020 quarter. The Exploration Licence was issued by the State Committee of Industry, Energy and Subsoil Use of the Kyrgyz Republic.

Bougainville Interests

RTG is the nominated development partner with the joint venture company established by the Special Mining Lease Osikaiyang Landowners Association ("SMLOLA") and Central Exploration Pty Ltd ("Central"), in the Landowner proposal with respect to the redevelopment of the Copper-Gold Panguna Project located in the Central Region of the island of Bougainville, within the Autonomous Region of Bougainville ("ABG"), PNG.

On September 23, 2020, the Office of the Bougainville Electoral Commission declared a new President of Bougainville, the Honourable Mr Ishmael Toroama. Mr Toroama was a Commander of the Bougainville Revolutionary Army and has a strong record of promoting Peace and Independence for Bougainville, with a stated focus on stamping out any corruption in the ABG and its public service.

The President has appointed a new Mining Minister, the Honourable Mr Rodney Osioco, who was also the head of the Legislative Review Committee that rejected the Caballus Mining sponsored attempt to change to the Bougainville Mining Act and strip Landowners of their rights to the minerals and lands.

The Landowners have been engaging with the new Mining Minister, who represents Central Bougainville where Panguna is located, to progress discussions on the reopening of the mine. The Landowners have worked closely with the Mining Minister over the last few years and welcomed and appreciated his appointment by the President. The Landowners recently had a productive and lengthy meeting with the Mining Minister and his team where they were advised that the Department is committed to working co-operatively with the Customary Landowners to find a redevelopment solution for Panguna that meets all the needs of Bougainville.

Remuneration Governance

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee is a committee of the Board. It is primarily responsible for making recommendations to the Board on:

• The over-arching executive remuneration framework;
• Operation of the incentive plans which apply to Executive Directors and Executives (the Executive team), including key performance indicators;
• Remuneration levels of Executives; and
• Non-Executive Director fees.

Their objective is to ensure that remuneration policies and structures are fair and competitive and aligned with the long-term interests of the Company. The Company's website contains further information on the role of this committee.

Remuneration Policy

The remuneration policy is to ensure that the remuneration properly reflects the relevant person's duties and responsibilities, and that the remuneration is competitive in attracting, retaining and motivating people of the highest quality. Given the present nature of RTG's business, exploration and development, the Company believes the best way to achieve this objective is to provide Executives (including Executive Directors) with a remuneration package consisting of fixed and variable components that reflect the person's responsibilities, duties and personal performance.

Remuneration Consultants

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee reviews information from external sources in relation to its existing remuneration structure. The process of evaluation has remained in-house and informal during the year, with two reviews of the Board, employees and Directors undertaken during the year.

Non-Executive Director Remuneration

The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level that provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain Directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost that is acceptable to shareholders. Each Director generally receives a fee for being a Director of the Company. The ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of Non-Executive Directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. An amount not exceeding the amount determined is then divided between Directors as agreed. The aggregate Non-Executive Director's remuneration including 9.5% superannuation guarantee is currently A\$300,000 ratified at a general meeting on April 10, 2015.

REMUNERATION REPORT – continued

Executive Remuneration

Fixed Remuneration

Fixed remuneration consists of base remuneration (which is calculated on a total cost basis), as well as employer contributions to superannuation funds.

Arrangements put in place by the Board of Directors to monitor the performance of the Consolidated Entity's Executives includes annual performance appraisals incorporating analysis of key performance indicators with each individual to ensure that the level of reward is aligned with respective responsibilities and individual contributions made to the success of the Company.

Remuneration levels are reviewed as required by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee on an individual contribution basis. This incorporates analysis of key performance indicators with each individual to ensure that the level of reward is aligned with respective responsibilities and individual contributions made to the success of the Company.

Variable Remuneration – Short Term Incentive ("STI")

Objective

The objective of the STI program is to link the achievement of the Group's operational targets with the remuneration received by the Executives charged with meeting those targets. The total STI amount available is at the discretion of the Board, however it is set at a level so as to provide sufficient incentive to the Executive to achieve the operational targets and such that the cost to the Company is reasonable in the circumstances.

Structure

Actual STI payments granted to each Executive depend on the extent to which key Group objectives are met. The objectives typically consist of financial and non-financial, corporate and individual measures of performance. Typically included are measures such as contribution to financing and capital raising objectives, risk management and relationship management with key stakeholders. These measures were chosen as they represent the key drivers for the short-term success of the business and provide a framework for delivering long term value.

STI payments are made at the discretion of the Board and Remuneration and Nomination Committee. Amounts are determined in line with the extent to which a key business objective has been met and the individual's responsibilities and contribution. The process occurs shortly after the key objective has been met and payments are delivered as a cash bonus upon approval, in order to closely align the achievement and reward.

STI Bonus for December 31, 2020 Financial Period and for December 31, 2019 Financial Year

For December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 financial period's there were no STI payments made to Executives. No STI bonus amounts have been forfeited during the December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 financial years. STI payments are made at the discretion of the Board and Remuneration and Nomination Committee.

Variable Remuneration – Loan Funded Share Plan ("LFSP" or "the Plan")

Objective

The objective of the Plan is to provide a mechanism for the Company to invite Executives (including Directors of the Company) to subscribe for shares in the Company, using financial assistance provided by the Company. Shareholders approved the LFSP on May 23, 2018.

Structure

An invitation to subscribe for shares is provided to Executives with shares delivered in the form of loan funded shares under the Plan. Shares are granted to Executives based on their role and responsibilities. The shares may be granted on varying vesting terms designed to align the individuals' role and responsibilities with the vesting terms. Shares granted as remuneration are determined as part of the overall review of performance and compensation. Criteria which are measured included relative share price performance over the period leading up to their grant. Details of LFSP shares granted and the value of shares granted, sold and lapsed during the year are set out in the tables following.

The Company does take into account overall share price performance in determining Executive compensation amounts, however, share price performance is just one of the many factors, as discussed above, that the Company takes into consideration.

Loan funded share plan ("the Plan")

The purposes of the Plan are to motivate and retain employees, attract quality employees to the Group, create commonality of purpose between the employees and the Group, create wealth for shareholders by motivating the employees, and enable the employees to share the rewards of the success of the Group. Where the Company offers to issue LFSP shares to a Director or employee, the Company may offer to provide the recipient with a limited recourse, interest free loan to be used for the purposes of subscribing for the shares in the Company. The Company's recourse to repayment of the loans is limited to the lesser of:

• a) The original loan to the participant less any repayments made; or
• b) The market value of the shares as at the date of repayment of the loan.

(ii) Options or warrants granted to Directors and Executives

There were no options or warrants granted to Executives of the Company during the period ended December 31, 2020 (December 31, 2019: nil).

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial report has been prepared as a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors at a meeting held on March 24, 2021.

Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss which have been measured at fair value. Historical costs are generally based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

The financial report is presented in United States Dollars (US\$) unless otherwise noted.

The Company is a for profit entity.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its controlled entities, referred collectively throughout these financial statements as the "Consolidated Entity" or "the Group", as at December 31, 2020. Transactions between companies within the Consolidated Entity have been eliminated on consolidation. For a description of the Company's subsidiaries, refer to note 23.

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from their activities. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether a group controls another entity.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group.

A change of ownership interest of a subsidiary that does not result in a loss of control is accounted for as an equity transaction.

(i) Significant accounting judgments

The valuation of certain assets held by the Group is dependent upon the estimation of mineral resources and ore reserves. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating mineral resources and ore reserves and assumptions that are valid at the time of estimation may change significantly when new information becomes available.

Changes in the forecast prices of commodities, exchange rates, production costs or recovery rates may change the economic status of reserves and may ultimately result in the reserves being restated. Such change in reserves could impact on asset carrying values.

(ii) Significant accounting estimates and assumptions

The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are:

Non-consolidation of entities

Non-consolidation of entities Mt. Labo Exploration and Development Corporation ("Mt. Labo"), Bunawan Mining Corporation ("Bunawan"), St Ignatius and Oz Metals Exploration and Development Corporation ("Oz Metals") (referred to as "the Philippines Associates").

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued

Significant accounting estimates and assumptions – continued

Under IFRS 10, an investor, regardless of the nature of its involvement with an entity (the investee), shall determine whether it is a parent by assessing whether it controls the investee. Based on this, the Board control and voting rights in the Philippines Associates, RTG has determined that there is an absence of control over the Philippines Associates and that they will be equity accounted in line with IAS 28.

Board control:

The Boards of each of the Philippine's Associates are comprised of five members, with each company Board sharing a maximum of two common Board members with RTG. It follows that the common RTG Board members cannot directly control the Boards of the Philippines Associates.

Voting rights:

RTG, through Sierra Mining Pty Ltd, controls 40% of the shareholdings of Mt. Labo, St Ignatius, Bunawan and Oz Metals, with the remaining 60% of the shareholdings being controlled by external Philippine shareholders. Thus, RTG cannot exercise control over these entities via their shareholding positions.

Based on the above assessment of Board Control and Voting Rights, and in the absence of contractual obligations between RTG and the Philippines Associates, RTG is satisfied that it does not have power over the Philippines Associates and hence does not control the Philippines Associates.

Impairment of plant and equipment

The Group determines whether plant and equipment is impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an assessment on whether there have been any impairment triggers, and where there have been triggers for impairment, an estimation of the recoverable amount of cash generating units to which the plant and equipment are allocated.

Share based payment transactions

The Group measures the costs of equity-settled transactions with employees and advisors by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The Group measures the cost of cash-settled share based payments at fair value at grant date taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted, as discussed in note 27. The term of the loan provided by the Company to purchase the loan funded shares (3.45 years for the loan issued in 2020) was determined by taking into consideration the status of the Company at the time and the expected start date of development and the timing of the recipient's ability to repay loan.

Impairment of non-financial assets

Non-financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there are any indicators that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Impairment of capitalised exploration

The ultimate recoupment of the value of exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on the successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively sale, of the underlying mineral exploration properties. The consolidated Group undertakes at least on an annual basis, a comprehensive review for indicators of impairment of those assets. Should an indicator of impairment exist, there is significant estimation and judgement in determining the inputs and assumptions use in determining the recoverable amounts.

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued

Significant accounting estimates and assumptions – continued

Carrying value of the investment in the Philippines Associates

The Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that the investment in the Philippines Associates is impaired by reference to the underlying mining projects held by the Philippines Associates. These mining projects include the Mabilo Project, held by Mt. Labo, which is in the development phase, therefore requiring an impairment assessment in accordance with IAS 28 Investment in Associates and Joint Ventures. This assessment requires judgement in analysing possible impacts caused by factors such as the price of gold and copper, operating and capital estimates, ownership relationships and the political risk in which the project operates. The fair value in the current period was assessed to be nil due to the ongoing legal uncertainty and stage of development of the project where management are not yet in a position to determine expected future cash flows from the investment.

Expected credit losses of financial asset at amortised cost

Loss allowances for financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Company uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Company's past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.

Impairment of investment in Joint Venture

Where there is objective evidence that the investment in a joint venture should be impaired the carrying amount of the investment is tested for impairment in the same way as other non-financial assets. Other non-financial assets are subject to impairment tests whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Where the carrying value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is written down accordingly. Impairment charges are included in profit or loss.

IFRS 16 Leases

IFRS 16 Leases was adopted from January 1, 2019 and relates to the recognition, classification and measurement of leases. The Company currently has one lease, for the principal office based in Subiaco. The Company assessed which business model applied to the lease and classified its lease into the appropriate IFRS 16 category. On recognition the Company recognises a lease liability and a right of use asset in its balance sheet.

The subsequent recognition comprises of the Company recognising a lease liability based on the discounted payments required under the lease. The lease liability is measured with reference to an estimate of the lease term, including optional lease periods if RTG is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend the lease. RTG uses the cost model to recognise the ROU asset and amortise it over the remaining years of its term. Refer to note 14 for more details.

COVID-19

Based on the information available the impact of COVID-19 on the Group has been considered. After considering the operations of the Group including the staffing, geographical areas, local government regulations there does not appear to be any significant impact on the Company's financials from the pandemic other than the necessary cost reductions that were made during the period before the Private Placement was confirmed and due to the uncertainty of available funding.

b) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and short term deposits in the consolidated statement of financial position include cash at bank and short term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.

For the purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and cash equivalents defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

c) Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Such cost includes the cost of replacing parts that are eligible for capitalisation when the cost of replacing the parts is incurred.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:

Office, plant and equipment – over 1 to 13 years.

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued

c) Plant and equipment – continued

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

Impairment

The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.

De-recognition and disposal

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset.

Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the period the item is derecognised.

d) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group 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 obligations and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

When the Group 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 represented in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income net of any reimbursement.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability.

When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

e) Employee leave benefits

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

Provision is made for the Group's liability for employee entitlements arising from services rendered by employees to reporting date. Employee entitlements due to be settled within one year have been measured at their nominal amounts based on remuneration rates which are due to be paid when the liability is settled. Expenses for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and are measured at the rates paid or payable.

(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 using the projected unit credit valuation method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures, and periods of service.

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued

f) Income tax

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 where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or 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 profits or taxable profit or loss; and
• In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, Associates and interest in joint ventures, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences 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 assets and unused tax losses can be utilised:

• Except where 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; and
• In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investment in subsidiaries, Associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences 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 recognised 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 reporting date.

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. 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 relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued

g) Goods and Services Tax

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax ("GST"), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the relevant taxation authorities, 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 relevant taxation authorities is included as a receivable or payable in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Cash flows are included in the consolidated 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.

h) Foreign currency translation

Both the functional currency and presentation currency of the Company is United States dollars (US\$).

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency at 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 differences are taken to the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

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.

The functional currency of the Company's Philippines Associates is the Philippine Peso.

For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the foreign entities are expressed in United States dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates 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. Exchange differences arising are recognized as a separate component of equity and as a foreign currency translation adjustment in other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

i) Share based payment transactions

The Company provides benefits to Directors, consultants and employees of the Group in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby eligible recipients render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares ('equity-settled transactions').

The cost of equity-settled transactions with Directors and employees is measured by reference to fair value at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using a Black & Scholes model, further details of which are given in note 27.

The Group has in the current year provided limited recourse loans to eligible employees (including some directors), to acquire ordinary shares in RTG ("loan shares"). The loan shares are in substance accounted for as share-based payments with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date. The fair value of the loan shares was measured using a Black-Scholes valuation model, taking into account the terms and conditions on which the options were granted.

In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of RTG if applicable.

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

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued

i) Share based payment transactions - continued

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 number of awards that, in the opinion of the Directors of the Company, will ultimately vest.

This opinion is formed based on the best available information at reporting date. 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.

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

Where 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 increase in the value of the transaction as a result of the modification, as measured at the date of modification.

Where 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.

The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share.

j) Exploration and evaluation

Exploration and evaluation expenditures are written off as incurred, except for acquisition costs and where an area of interest is established.

Exploration assets acquired from a third party are carried forward provided that either i) the carrying value is expected to be recouped through the successful development and exploitation or sale of an area of interest or ii) exploitation and/or evaluation activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, active and significant operations in relation to the area are continuing and the rights of the tenure are current. If capitalised exploration and evaluation costs do not meet either of these tests, they are expensed to profit or loss.

An area of interest is established where a discovery of economically recoverable resource is made. The area of interest will be established as a mineral project. All activity relating to the area of interest is then subsequently capitalised. Where development is anticipated, costs will be carried forward until the decision to develop is made.

Each area of interest is reviewed at least bi-annually to determine whether it is appropriate to continue to carry forward the capitalised costs.

Upon approval for the development of an area of interest, accumulated expenditure for the area of interest is transferred to capitalised development expenditure.

k) Trade and other payables

Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised costs 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.

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued

l) Contributed equity

Shares are classified as equity and are recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Company. 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.

m) Impairment of non-financial assets

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely dependent of those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset's value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash-generating unit to which it belongs.

When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cashgenerating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

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. Impairment losses are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

An assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the assets revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.

n) Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables generally have 30 day terms. They are recognised at either fair value (either through other comprehensive income or profit or loss), or at amortised cost (with any expected credit losses taken into account).

A loss allowance is made when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the debts. Bad debts are written off when identified.

o) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs incurred for the construction of any qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use. Other borrowing costs are expensed as incurred.

p) Revenue recognition

Revenue will be recognised to depict the transfer of promised goods to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Interest revenue

Revenue is recognised as the interest accrues using the effective interest method, 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.

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued

q) Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the parent entity and Board of Directors.

r) Earnings per share

(i) Basic earnings/(loss) per share:

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

(ii) Diluted earnings per share:

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential shares and the weighted average number of additional shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential shares.

s) Parent entity financial information

The financial information for the parent entity, RTG Mining Inc., disclosed in note 24, has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements, except for investments in subsidiaries which are accounted for at cost in the financial statements of RTG Mining Inc.

t) Financial Assets

Financial assets are recognised when a Group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets (other than financial assets at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets as appropriate on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Classification

From January 1, 2018, the Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

• those measured subsequently at fair value (either through OCI, or through profit or loss), and
• those measured at amortised cost.

The classification depends on the entity's business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or OCI. For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the Group has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.

The Group reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. The loan receivable from the Philippines Associates is classified as a financial asset at fair value through profit and loss, with a fair value loss being recognised.

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued

t) Financial Assets - continued

Investments

The investments in equity instruments are classified as fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI") and are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. Investments are designated as FVOCI if they do not have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments and management intends to hold them for the medium to long term.

Equity instruments at FVOCI do not recycle gains or losses to profit or loss on derecognition. This category only includes equity instruments which are not held-for-trading and which the Group has irrevocably elected to so classify upon initial recognition or transition. Equity instruments at FVOCI are not subject to an impairment assessment under IFRS 9. For this category there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognised in profit or loss as other income when the Group's right to receive payment is established. The Group has irrevocably elected to classify all of its quoted equity instruments as equity instruments at FVOCI.

When securities classified as FVOCI are sold, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised in other comprehensive income are not reclassified to profit or loss as gains and losses on sale of available-for-sale financial assets. FVOCI financial assets are subsequently carried at fair value. Changes in value of non-monetary securities classified as available-for-sale are recognised in other comprehensive income.

Details of how the fair value of financial instruments is determined are disclosed in note 26.

u) Investment in Philippines Associates

The Group's investment in its Philippines Associates is accounted for using the equity method of accounting in the consolidated financial statements. The Philippines Associates are entities over which the Group has significant influence and that are neither subsidiaries nor joint ventures.

Under the equity method, the investment in the Philippines Associates is carried in the consolidated statement of financial performance at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Group's share of net assets of the Philippines Associates. Cost includes equity contributions and loan advances (interest free with no set term of repayment). Goodwill relating to an associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortised. After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognise any impairment loss with respect to the Group's net investment in the Philippines Associates. Impairment exists when the carrying value of the investment in Associates exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Any impairment loss is recognised as an impairment expense in the profit or loss.

The Group's share of its Philippines Associates' post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves along with currency movements on translation of the Philippines Associates is recognised in reserves. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. Dividends receivable from Associates are recognised in the parent entity's statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, while in the consolidated financial statements they reduce the carrying amount of the investment.

When the Group's share of losses in the Philippines Associates equals or exceeds its interest in the Philippines Associates, including any unsecured long-term receivables and loans, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the Philippines Associate.

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued

v) Fair value

Fair values may be used for financial asset and liability measurement as well as for sundry disclosures.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It is based on the presumption that the transaction takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market. The principal or most advantageous market must be accessible to, or by, the Group.

Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their best economic interest.

The fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account the market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset at its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset at its highest and best use.

In measuring fair value, the group uses valuation techniques that maximise the use of observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs.

For assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

• Level 1 Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
• Level 2 Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable
• Level 3 Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable

For the purposes of fair value disclosures, the Group has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy, as explained above.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique in estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing an asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these consolidated financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of IFRS 2, leasing transactions that are within the scope of IFRS 117 and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in IFRS 2 or value in use in IFRS 136.

w) Current versus non-current classification

The Group presents assets and liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position based on current/noncurrent classification. An asset is current when it is:

• Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the normal operating cycle,
• Held primarily for the purpose of trading,
• Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or
• Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued

w) Current versus non-current classification – continued

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is current when:

• It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle,
• It is held primarily for the purposes of trading,
• It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
• There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.

x) Accounting policy choice for non-controlling entities

The Group recognises non-controlling interest in an acquired entity either at a fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the acquired entity's net identifiable assets. The decision is made on an acquisitionby-acquisition basis.

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and balance sheet respectively.

y) Going concern

The Directors have prepared the financial report on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Group recorded a loss of \$6,282,546 and had net cash outflows from operating activities of \$4,086,439. As at December 31, 2020, the Group had a working capital surplus of \$3,686,021.

In context of the Company's operating environment, the ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on securing additional funding through debt or equity to continue to fund its operational and exploration activities.

This condition indicates a material uncertainty that may cast a significant doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the entity is a going concern, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity, realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business for the following reasons:

• The Directors believe that there is sufficient cash available for the Group to continue operating until it can raise sufficient further capital to fund its ongoing activities; and
• The Group has the ability to reduce its expenditure to conserve cash.

Should the Group not be able to achieve any of the above, it may be required to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the financial statements and that the financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or liabilities that might be necessary should the entity not continue as a going concern.

z) Leases

The Group assesses at the start of a contract whether or not it contains a lease, by deciding if the contract provides the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued

z) Leases - continued

The Group currently uses a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low value assets. The Group recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and rightof-use assets representing the right to use underlying assets.

i) Right-of-use assets

The Group recognises right-of-use assets at the start of the lease and are measured at costs, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets.

ii) Lease liabilities

At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expenses (unless they are incurred to produce inventories) in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.

iii) Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option. It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases that are considered to be low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

2. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There were no changes in accounting policies during the year.

3. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

There were no new, revised or amending accounting standards adopted by the Group during the year.

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted

There were no Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, that were early adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ended December 31, 2020. In the prior year, IFRS 3 Business Combinations, effective from January 1, 2020 was adopted early in the annual report for the period ending December 31, 2019. See note 1 for further details.

Nature and purpose of reserves

Asset revaluation reserve

The asset revaluation reserve was used to record the revaluation of the investment in Thor Explorations Ltd (sold during the year), to market value as the investment was designated as a financial asset through other comprehensive income.

Share based payment reserve

The share based payment reserve is used to record the value of share based payments provided to employees, including Key Management Personnel and Directors as part of remuneration. The notional value attributed to the shares issued under the Loan Share Plan is included in this reserve as accounting standards deem the nonrecourse loan to contain an embedded option (refer to note 27).

Foreign currency translation reserve ("FCTR")

Exchange differences arising on translation of the controlled entity and the Company's share of Associates FCTR are recorded in other comprehensive income as described in note 15 and accumulated in a reserve within equity. The cumulative amount is reclassified to profit of loss when the net investment is disposed of.

25. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

(a) Commitments

As at December 31, 2020, the Group recognised the following commitments:

Chanach Licence Costs

As at December 31, 2020, there was US\$6,778 remaining licence fees to be paid to maintain the licence that expires in October 2021.

(b) Contingencies

As at December 31, 2020, the Group recognised the following contingent liabilities:

Associate

Investment in Philippines Associates

On August 21, 2020, the Tribunal handed down a favourable Final Award to Mt. Labo in the international arbitration against Galeo in the Singapore International Arbitration Centre ("SIAC"). Mt. Labo prevailed on all matters considered important including a determination that the Joint Venture Agreement ("JVA") with Galeo was validly terminated, the compromise agreement was validly rescinded, Galeo is not entitled to any shares in Mt. Labo, Galeo was not a co-permittee of the Mt. Labo Exploration Permit and Galeo is not the operator of the project. The Tribunal ordered Galeo to pay damages of approximately US\$18.6m (plus interest at 6% from various dates) and legal costs, including the Tribunal's fees of approximately S\$7.45m. Interest payable is currently in excess of US\$4m on top of the damages and costs awards, which have given rise to a contingent asset. Galeo continues to pursue legal avenues in the Philippines and Singapore to set aside the SIAC Final Award or avoid enforceability in the Philippines, however, Mt. Labo's counsel advise that in their opinion there is not a valid legal basis for the applications.

The Associates had no other contingent assets or capital commitments as at December 31, 2020 (nil: December 31, 2019).

Subsidiary

Central Exploration Pty Ltd

In 2018, the Group acquired A2V Mining Inc. ("A2V"), a non-listed company with a direct interest in Central Exploration Pty Ltd ("Central"). Through the conversion of loan funding into shares in Central, the Group's total interest in Central increased to 69%. The acquisition gave rise to a contingent liability of \$1,333,257 relating to Duncan Mining Pty Ltd's (a related entity of Central) acquisition of URM (South Pacific) Pty Ltd. Repayment of the liability is dependent on the development of Central's Bougainville interests. Given the current status of the project, repayment of the liability is not considered probable. At balance date, the value of the liability increased to \$2,005,892 (December 31, 2019: \$1,661,545), however repayment is still not considered probable. This is not a liability of the Company but Central and is not guaranteed by RTG.

26. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group's principal financial instruments comprise cash and cash equivalents, receivables, borrowings and payables. The Company currently has in place an active program of financial forecasting and budgeting both at a corporate and project level to manage both the application of funds and planning for future financial needs to ensure that any shortfall in funds is adequately covered by cash reserves or planned new sources being either debt or equity based on the then most cost effective weighted average cost of capital.

Financial risk management is carried out by management and the Board of Directors of the ultimate parent company (the "Board") under policies approved by the Board. The Board also provides regular guidance for overall risk management, including guidance on specific areas, such as mitigating foreign exchange, interest rate and credit risk.

The Group does not enter into financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for trade or speculative purposes.

Primary responsibility for identification and control of financial risks rests with the Board. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of the risks identified below, including the setting of limits for trading in derivatives, credit limits and future cash flow forecast projections.

Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, in respect of each financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed in note 1 to the financial statements.

Credit risk

Credit risk represents the loss that would be recognised if counterparties failed to perform as contracted. The Group's maximum exposures to credit risk at the reporting date in relation to each financial asset is the carrying amounts of those assets as indicated in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis and to the extent that recovery is deemed to be uncertain the Company raises a provision or impairs the asset against expected recovery. The credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired are assessed by reference to external credit ratings (if available) or to historical information about counterparty default rates.

The Group monitors cash and cash equivalents credit risk through holding its cash through banks and financial institutions with a minimum Standard and Poors credit rating of 'A' or greater. The credit risk associated with cash and cash equivalents is considered negligible by the Group. The Group does not hold collateral as security. The Group does not have any receivables past due or impaired.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will maintain sufficient cash or credit terms with its suppliers to meet the operating requirements of the business and invest excess funds in highly liquid short term cash deposits. Maintaining surplus working capital in highly liquid short term deposits allows the Group to meet its primary objectives by being able to fund new development and acquisition opportunities at short notice.

The responsibility for liquidity risk rests with the Board of Directors. The Group's liquidity needs can likely be met through cash on hand, short and long-term borrowings subject to the current forecast operating parameters being met.

26. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT – continued

The contractual maturities of the Group's financial liabilities are as follows:

	December 31 2020 US\$	December 31 2019 US\$
Due within one month or on demand
Trade and other payables	329,524	663,863
Borrowings	1,500,000	2,650,000
	1,829,524	3,313,863

The Group's liquidity needs can likely be met through existing cash on hand, subject to the current forecast operating parameters being met.

Market rate risk

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates to the interest accruing on the \$1,500,000 loan (6% p.a. fixed interest rate).

The Group's policy is to manage its exposure to interest rate risk by holding cash in short-term fixed rate deposits and variable rate deposits. The Group's exposure to interest rate risk on post-tax profit or loss arises from higher or lower interest income from cash and cash equivalents. The Group constantly analyses its interest rate exposure. Consideration is given to potential renewals of existing positions, alternative financing and the mix of fixed and variable interest rates.

At reporting date, the Group's maximum exposure to interest rate risk is as follows:

	December 31 2020 US\$	December 31 2019 US\$
Interest-bearing financial assets

	5,764,938	3,927,667

The Group's cash at bank and financial assets at amortised cost had a weighted average floating interest rate at December 31, 2020 of 0.002% (December 31, 2019: 0.04%)

Borrowings	1,500,000	2,500,000
	1,500,000	2,500,000

The Group's borrowings had a set interest rate at December 31, 2019 and 2020 of 6%.

Interest rate risk sensitivity

If interest rates were to move up by 1% with all other variables held constant, the pre-tax impact on the Group's profit as well as total equity would be a movement of \$1,466 (December 31, 2019: \$4,906), a 1% decrease would be a movement of \$161 (December, 31 2019: \$581).

Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Group's exposure to foreign currency risk throughout the year primarily exists as the functional currency of the Company is US Dollars and net assets of the Controlled Entity are held predominantly in Australian Dollars, with negligible exposure to the Kyrgyzstani Som and Canadian Dollars.

The Group reduces its risk of exposure to the currencies listed above by holding financial instruments, principally cash and cash equivalents, creating a natural hedge.

At the reporting date, the Groups exposure to financial instruments in foreign currencies was:

	December 31 2020	December 31 2019
	US\$	US\$
Financial Assets
Cash and cash equivalents	5,307,012	3,633,358

Lease liability	182,747	299,838
	482,286	762,457
Net exposure	5,971,640	3,005,853

Foreign currency risk sensitivity

The following table summarises the sensitivity of financial instruments held at balance date to movement in the exchange rate of the USD to the AUD with all other variables held constant. The impact on the Group's profit or loss before tax is due to changes in the fair value of monetary assets and liabilities.

Fair value

The carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the financial statements approximates their respective net fair values, determined in accordance with the accounting policies disclosed in note 1. All financial instruments for which fair value is recognised or disclosed are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole, is described as follows:

• Level 1 Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
• Level 2 Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable
• Level 3 Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable

Recognised fair value measurements

The following table presents the Group's assets measured at fair value:

Fair value of other financial instruments not measured at fair value The carrying amounts of trade receivables, payables and borrowings are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short term nature.

Capital risk management

The Group's total capital is defined as equity attributable to equity holders of the parent and cash and cash equivalents amounted to \$686,041,948 at December 31, 2020 (December 31, 2019: \$494,581,133).

The Group's capital management objectives are to safeguard the business as a going concern, to maintain a capital base sufficient to maintain future exploration and development of its projects. Management may issue more shares or repay debts in order to maintain the optimal capital structure.

The Group does not have a target debt/equity ratio, but maintains a flexible financing structure so as to be able to take advantage of new investment opportunities that may arise. The Group monitors its capital risk management through annual cash flow projections and monthly reporting against budget.

27. SHARE BASED PAYMENTS

Loan funded share plan

Shares issued pursuant to the Plan are for services rendered to date by eligible employees and Directors and, going forward, for services rendered by existing and any new eligible employees and Directors. The purpose of the Plan is to motivate and retain employees, attract quality employees to the Group, create commonality of purpose between the employees and the Group, create wealth for shareholders by motivating the employees, and enable the employees to share the rewards of the success of the Group.

Where the Company offers to issue incentive shares to a Director employee, the Company may offer to provide the recipient with a limited recourse, interest free loan to be used for the purposes of subscribing for the shares in the Company. The Company's recourse to repayment of the loans is limited to the lesser of:

• a) The original loan to the participant less any repayments made; or
• b) The market value of the shares as at the date of repayment of the loan.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the members of RTG Mining Inc.

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of RTG Mining Inc. (the Entity) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial report, including a summary of significant accounting policies and the declaration by those charged with governance.

In our opinion the accompanying financial report presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2020, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Material uncertainty related to going concern

We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report which describes the events and/or conditions which give rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the group's ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

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. In addition to the matter described in the Material uncertainty related to going concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Share-based payments

During the financial year ended 31 December 2020, the Group issued equity instruments in the form of options and loan funded shares to third parties, key management personnel and employees, which have been accounted for as share-based payments as disclosed in Note 1, Note 19 and Note 27.

The Group performed valuations of loan funded shares and options issued and recorded the related sharebased payment expense or capital raising costs in accordance with the relevant accounting standard.

Due to judgemental estimates used in determining the fair value of the share-based payments, we consider the accounting for share-based payments to be a key audit matter.

Key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit

Our audit procedures in respect of this area included but were not limited to the following:

• Reviewing relevant supporting documentation to obtain an understanding of the contractual nature and terms and conditions of the sharebased payment arrangements;
• Reviewing board minutes to assess if new sharebased payments granted during the year have been accounted for;
• Holding discussions with management to understand the share-based payment transactions in place;
• Reviewing management's determination of the fair value of the share-based payments granted, considering the appropriateness of the valuation models used and assessing the valuation inputs, involving our valuation specialists where considered necessary;
• Assessing the allocation of the share based payments expense; and
• Assessing the adequacy of the disclosure in Note 1, Note 19 and Note 27 in the financial report.

Other information

Those charged with governance are responsible for the other information. The other information obtained at the date of this auditor's report is information included in the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2020, but does not include the financial report and our auditor's report thereon.

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

If, based on the work we have performed on the other information obtained prior to the date of this auditor's report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the Financial Report

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation and fair presentation of a financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial report, management is responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website (http://www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx) at:

http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors\_responsibilities/ar3.pdf

Annual Review of Resources

In 2015, the Company reported its updated Resource estimate for the Mabilo Project located in the Philippines (refer ASX announcement dated 5 November 2015). Since this time, there has been no change to the Resource reported for the Mabilo Project.

Summary of Reserves

The Company's Reserves as at December 31, 2020, reported in accordance with the 2012 Edition of the JORC Code, are as follows:

Ore							Waste
Class	Type	Mt	Fe %	Au g/t	Cu %	Ag g/t	Mt	Strip Ratio
Probable	Gold Cap	0.351	40.1	3.11	0.38	3.26
	Supergene	0.104	36.5	2.20	20.7	11.9
	Oxide Skarn	0.182	43.6	2.52	4.17	19.9	77.713	10.0
	Fresh	7.155	45.9	1.97	1.70	8.73
Total Probable Ore		7.792	45.5	2.04	1.95	8.79

The November 2015 Resource estimation provided by CSA Global Pty Ltd classified the Resource for the Mabilo Project as Indication and Inferred. Only Indicated Mineral Resources as defined in NI 43-101 were used to establish the Probable Mineral Reserves. No Reserves were categorised as proven.

Mineral Resources are quoted within specific pit designs based on indicated resources only and take into consideration the mining, processing, metallurgical, economic and infrastructure modifying factors.

Governance of Resources and Reserves

The Company engages external consultants and competent persons (as determined pursuant to the JORC Code) to prepare and calculate estimates of its Resources and Reserves. Management and the Board review these estimates and underlying assumptions for reasonableness and accuracy. The results of the Resource and Reserve estimates are then reported in accordance with the requirements of the JORC Code and other applicable rules (including ASX Listing Rules).

Where material changes occur during the year to a project, including project size, title, exploration results or other technical information, then previous Resource and Reserve estimates and market disclosures are reviewed for completeness.

The Company reviews its Resources and Reserves as at 31 December each year. Where a material change has occurred in the assumptions or data used in previously reported Resource and Reserves, then where possible a revised Resource or Reserve estimate will be prepared as part of the annual review process. However, there are circumstances where this may not be possible (e.g. an ongoing drilling programme), in which case a revised Mineral Resource or Reserve estimate will be prepared and reported as soon as practicable.
