REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)
This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each director of Rubix Resources Limited and for the executives receiving the highest remuneration.
1. Employment Agreements
Under the terms of the executive agreement, Mr King’s total remuneration package is currently $100,000 plus superannuation effective on admission to ASX (23 December 2021). The executive agreement may be terminated by either party in accordance with Company’s constitution.
Appointments of non-executive directors David Palumbo and Colin Locke are formalised in the form of service agreements between themselves and the Company. Their engagements have no fixed term but cease on their resignation or removal as a director in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001. Mr Palumbo and Mr Locke are currently entitled to receive directors’ fees of $60,000 plus superannuation each. Mr Palumbo and Mr Locke were both appointed to the board on 30 March 2021, and were only entitled to remuneration on admission to the ASX as of 23 December 2021.
2. Remuneration policy
The Company’s remuneration policy has been designed to align director and executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering specific longterm incentives based on key performance areas affecting the Company’s financial results. The board believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best executives and directors to run and manage the Company, as well as create goal congruence between directors, executives and shareholders.
The board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for board members and senior executives of the Company is as follows:
-
The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior executives, was developed by the board.
-
All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience), superannuation and are entitled to the issue of share options.
-
Incentive paid in the form of share options are intended to align the interests of directors and Group with those of the shareholders.
The performance of executives is measured against criteria agreed annually with each executive and is based predominantly on the forecast growth of the Company’s shareholders’ value. The board may, however, exercise its discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options, and can recommend changes to the committee’s recommendations. Any changes must be justified by reference to measurable performance criteria. The policy is designed to attract the highest calibre of executives and reward them for performance that results in long-term growth in shareholder wealth.

RUBIX RESOURCES LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Executives are also entitled to participate in the employee share and option arrangements. All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed to exploration expenditure as appropriate. Options, if given to directors and executives in lieu of remuneration, are valued using the Black-Scholes methodology. The board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for time, commitment and responsibilities. The remuneration committee determines payments to the nonexecutive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required.
The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is $300,000 per annum. Remuneration paid to executive directors is determined by the board. Fees for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the Group. However, to align directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Group and are able to participate in the employee share option plan.

There is currently no performance-based remuneration policy in place.

RUBIX RESOURCES LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Review of Operations
Corporate
On 23 December 2021, Rubix commenced trading on the ASX following completion of its oversubscribed $4.5m IPO. A total of 22.5m shares were issued at an issue price of $0.20 each.
Paperbark Project (Cu, Zn-Pb) – 100%
During the reporting period, the Company completed a detailed review of its historical exploration database and developed its plans for a ~1,400m drill program at Paperbark in the 2[nd] half of 2022. The drill program was developed to focus on testing two key priority targets - the Grunter North Copper Target, and the JB Zone Lead-Zinc Target.
The Grunter North Copper Target contains numerous high grade rock chips up to 42.7% Cu across a ~1km strike as well as historical shallow aircore drilling which noted copper oxide (Figure 1), highlighting the potential for a high grade copper sulphide deposit at depth. However, the target has been subject to very limited drilling at depth.

Figure 1 – Copper rock chips and drilling intercepts at Paperbark
The JB Zone Pb-Zn Target contains several historical high-grade zinc intersections including 7m at 8.8% Zn+Pb in an area which previously had an Inferred Mineral Resource, now an Exploration Target (Rubix IPO Prospectus). The zinc endowment of the JB Zone and nearby drill targets within the tenement, presents an exciting opportunity for Rubix to potentially identify an economic zinc resource, just a short distance from existing plant infrastructure in place at New Century Resources’ operations at the Century Zn deposit. Drilling was completed in the second half of 2022, with assays still pending, and will be released in Q4 CY2022.

RUBIX RESOURCES LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Lake Johnston Project (Ni-Cu-PGE) – 100%
The Lake Johnston Project is prospective for Ni-Cu-PGE, being located approximately 105km west of Norseman, adjacent to the Archaean Lake Johnston greenstone belt and covers a portion of the Jimberlana Dyke in WA. The Emily Ann and Maggie Hays (3.5Mt @ 1.5%Ni) nickel mines, held by Poseidon Nickel Limited lie to the west of the Project.
The Project was granted in January 2022 following execution of a heritage agreement with the Ngadju Native Title Aboriginal Corporation RNTBC.
During the reporting period, the Company completed interpretation of an Airborne Electromagnetic (AEM) survey and delineated several encouraging anomalies located on and proximal to the margins of the Jimberlana Dyke. Three of these anomalies are deemed priority (Figure 2) for investigating the potential for sulphide conductors related to layered intrusions occurring within the Jimberlana Dyke.
The AEM anomalies delineated represent an exciting exploration opportunity for the Company, where limited activities have been historically undertaken.

RUBIX RESOURCES LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Etheridge Project (Au) – 100%
The Etheridge Project is located in the Etheridge Goldfield of the Georgetown Inlier, North Queensland, approximately 280km west-southwest of Cairns and consists of four granted exploration permits covering a total area of 49km[2] . Previous exploration at Etheridge intercepted high grade shallow gold mineralisation such as 3m @ 33.7g/t Au from 20m and 6m @ 15g/t Au from 11m, yet has been subject to limited drilling at depths below 50m.
No work was completed during the reporting period.
Collurabbie Project (Au) – 100%
The Collurabbie North Project is located on the northern extension of Gerry Well Greenstone Belt, along strike to the Olympia Ni-Cu-PGE deposit (573kt @ 2.3% NiEq). The Company undertook heritage agreement negotiations during the March 2022 quarter. The Collurabbie Project was granted in Q3 of 2022. An initial assessment and summary of works completed to date was completed upon the tenement being granted. No work was completed during the reporting period.
- – Fiery Creek (Redbeds; Cu Co) Application
The Fiery Creek (Redbeds) Project is located at the southeastern end of the Termite Range Fault, a short distance from the Paperbark Project. Comprising four tenement applications submitted in May 2022, the Fiery Creek Project was selected following identification of an area with anomalous Cu-Co surface geochemistry, and prospective structural settings that may potentially host mineralization.
The area around the Fiery Creek Project has been subsequently acquired by Anglo American, Teck Australia and Capricorn Copper, highlighting that the prospectivity of this area has also been identified by others. Compilation and assessment of existing data in the area has commenced in anticipation of the tenements being granted in by Q1 CY2023.

Significant Events after Reporting Date
On 8 August 2022, the Company completed the shortfall placement of 2,716,807 listed options exercisable at $0.20 on or before 16 June 2025. The options were issued as part of the entitlement issue to shareholders dated 16 May 2022.
On 13 September 2022, the Company completed a 6 hole (1,470m) blended reverse circulation and diamond drilling program at the Paperbark Project. The program was designed to test a conductivity anomaly, the source of surface Cu mineralization and the extent of Pb-Zn prospects. Preliminary observations confirm the presence of copper sulphide mineralization including visible traces of chalcopyrite and bornite at the Grunter North Prospect and broad zones of disseminated lead and zinc sulphide mineralisation up to 45m thick at the JB Zone Prospect.

An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity), whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity’s chief operating decision makers to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their performance and for which discrete financial information is available. This includes start-up operations which are yet to earn revenues.
Operating segments have been identified based on the information presented to the chief operating decision makers – being the Board of Directors.
Information about other business activities and operating segments that do not meet the quantitative criteria set out in AASB 8 “Operating Segments” are combined and disclosed in a separate category called “other”.

(d) Exploration and Evaluation Assets
Exploration and evaluation expenditure in relation to the Company’s mineral tenements is expensed as incurred. When the Directors decide to progress the development of an area of interest all further expenditure incurred relating to the area will be capitalised. Projects are advanced to development status and classified as mine development when it is expected that further expenditure can be recouped through sale or successful development and exploitation of the area of interest. Such expenditure is carried forward up to commencement of production at which time it is amortised over the life of the economically recoverable reserves. All projects are subject to detailed review on an annual basis and accumulated costs written off to the extent that they will not be recoverable in the future.
(e) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other shortterm, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the statement of cash flows presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents also includes bank overdrafts, which are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.
(f) Trade and Other Payables
Liability for trade creditors and other amounts are carried at amortised cost, which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received, whether or not billed.
(g) Trade and Other Receivables
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.
Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses.
(h) Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
(i) Leases
A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down.
(j) Contributed Equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
17
RUBIX RESOURCES LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022
(k) Revenue Recognition
The Company recognises revenue as follows:
Interest
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 instrument) to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
Other revenue
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.
(l) Employee Benefits
Provision is made for the Company’s obligation for short-term employee benefits. Short-term employee benefits are benefits (other than termination benefits) that are expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service, including wages, salaries and sick leave. Short-term employee benefits are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts expected to be paid when the obligation is settled.
The Company’s obligations for short-term employee benefits such as wages, salaries and sick leave are recognised as a part of current trade and other payables in the statement of financial position. The Company’s obligations for employees’ annual leave and long service leave entitlements are recognised as provisions in the statement of financial position.
(m) Income Tax
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 investments 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 reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the financial period 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.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same tax authority.

RUBIX RESOURCES LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022
(n) Impairment of Assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Directors assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, to the asset’s carrying amount. Any excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its recoverable amount is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount in accordance with another Accounting Standard.
(o) Investments and other financial assets
Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part of the initial measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Such assets are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is
determined based on both the business model within which such assets are held and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset unless, an accounting mismatch is being avoided.
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. When there is no reasonable expectation of recovering part or all of a financial asset, it's carrying value is written off.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets not measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Typically, such financial assets will be either: (i) held for trading, where they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the short-term with an intention of making a profit, or a derivative; or (ii) designated as such upon initial recognition where permitted. Fair value movements are recognised in profit or loss.
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income include equity investments which the Company intends to hold for the foreseeable future and has irrevocably elected to classify them as such upon initial recognition.
Impairment of financial assets
The Company recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets which are either measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. The measurement of the loss allowance depends upon the Company's assessment at the end of each reporting period as to whether the financial instrument's credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, based on reasonable and supportable information that is available, without undue cost or effort to obtain.
Where there has not been a significant increase in exposure to credit risk since initial recognition, a 12-month expected credit loss allowance is estimated. This represents a portion of the asset's lifetime expected credit losses that is attributable to a default event that is possible within the next 12 months. Where a financial asset has become credit impaired or where it is determined that credit risk has increased significantly, the loss allowance is based on the asset's lifetime expected credit losses. The amount of expected credit loss recognised is measured on the basis of the probability weighted present value of anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of the instrument discounted at the original effective interest rate.
For financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance is recognised within other comprehensive income. In all other cases, the loss allowance is recognised in profit or loss.
19
RUBIX RESOURCES LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022
(p) Goods and Services Tax (“GST”)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:
-
Where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and
-
Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority, are classified as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.
(q) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The Directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial statements based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Company. In the opinion of the Directors, there are no critical accounting estimates or judgments in this financial report. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.
Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may have, on the Company based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the Company operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the Company unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Share-based payment transactions
The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees and consultants by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.
3. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are used by the Board (the chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.
During this financial period, the Company had no development assets. The Board considers that it has only operated in one segment, being mineral exploration.

Availability of Tax Losses
The availability of the tax losses for future years is uncertain and will be dependent on the Company satisfying strict requirements with respect to continuity of ownership and the same business test imposed by income tax legislation.
The recoupment of available tax losses as at 30 June 2022 is contingent upon the following:
-
(a) the Company deriving future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the losses to be realised;
-
(b) the conditions for deductibility imposed by income tax legislation continuing to be complied with; and
-
(c) there being no changes in income tax legislation which would adversely affect the Company from realising the benefit from the losses.
21
RUBIX RESOURCES LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022
Given the Company is currently in a loss making position, a deferred tax asset has not been recognised with regard to unused tax losses, as it has not been determined that the Company will generate sufficient taxable profit against which the unused tax losses can be utilised.

19. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The Company’s principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables and cash which arise directly from its operations.
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. Management monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Company through regular reviews of the risks.
The main risks arising from the Company’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below.
Risk Exposures and Responses
Interest rate risk
The Company generates income from interest on surplus funds. At reporting date, the Company had the following mix of financial assets and liabilities exposed to Australian variable interest rate risk that are not designated in cash flow hedges:
| Financial Assets Cash and cash equivalents Trade and Other Receivables Prepayments Financial Liabilities Trade and Other Payables Borrowings Net Financial Assets |
2022 2021 $ $ 3,807,016 399,109 68,697 5,965 2,988 5,000 (132,077) (15,948) (1,162) (1,162) |
|---|---|
| 3,745,462 394,126 |
Interest rate sensitivity analysis
The Company has no material interest rate risk.
Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Company. The Company’s potential concentration of credit risk consists mainly of cash deposits with banks. The Company’s short term cash surpluses are placed with banks that have investment grade ratings. The maximum credit risk exposure relating to the financial assets is represented by the carrying value as at the reporting date. The Company considers the credit standing of counterparties when making deposits to manage the credit risk.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments.
Liquidity risk
The responsibility with liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors. The Company manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and ensuring that adequate working capital is maintained. The Company’s policy is to ensure that it has sufficient cash reserves to carry out its planned exploration activities over the next 12 months.
26
RUBIX RESOURCES LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022
Fair values
Fair values of financial assets and liabilities are equivalent to carrying values due to their short terms to maturity.
20. COMMITMENTS
The Company has minimum exploration commitments over the next 12 months of $456,160 and corporate commitments of $120,000 for the financial year ended 30 June 2022 (2021: $0).
21. EVENTS AFTER REPORTING DATE
On 8 August 2022, the Company completed the shortfall placement of 2,716,807 listed options exercisable at $0.20 on or before 16 June 2025. The options were issued as part of the entitlement issue to shareholders dated 16 May 2022.
On 13 September 2022, the Company completed a 6 hole (1,470m) blended reverse circulation and diamond drilling program at the Paperbark Project. The program was designed to test a conductivity anomaly, the source of surface Cu mineralization and the extent of Pb-Zn prospects. Preliminary observations confirm the presence of copper sulphide mineralization including visible traces of chalcopyrite and bornite at the Grunter North Prospect and broad zones of disseminated lead and zinc sulphide mineralisation up to 45m thick at the JB Zone Prospect. Assays are expected in late 2022.
No other matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial period which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Company, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Company in future financial years.
22. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The Company has a contingent liability in the form of a Net Smelter Royalty (NSR) being a 2.0% of royalty on all minerals produced by the “Property”, now known as the Paperbark Project. The royalty is payable on the sale or commercialisaiton of any mineral products that are treated in a smelter or refinery and are sold by the Company. The Net Smelter Royalty runs with the land, regardless of the form of tenement held.

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 Company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (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.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

| Key Audit Matter | How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter |
|---|---|
| Exploration Expenditure | |
| During the year the Company incurred exploration and evaluation expenditure of $504,055. Exploration expenditure is a key audit matter due to the significance to the Company’s statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. |
Our procedures included, amongst others: • Testing exploration expenditure for the year by evaluating a sample of recorded expenditure for consistency to underlying records, the Company’s accounting policy and the requirements of AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Minerals; and • Assessing the Company’s rights to tenure by corroborating to government registries. |
| Accounting for Share-Based Payments | |
| As disclosed in Note 14 to the financial statements, during the year ended 30 June 2022 the Company incurred share-based payments with respect to the issue of options to the value of $288,170 and shares of $210,000. Share based payments are considered to be a key audit matter due to • the value of the transactions; • the complexities involved in the recognition and measurement of these instruments; and • the judgement involved in determining the inputs used in the valuations. |
Our procedures amongst others included: • Analysing agreements to identify the key terms and conditions of share-based payments issued and relevant vesting conditions in accordance with AASB 2 Share-Based Payments; • Evaluating valuation models and assessing the assumptions and inputs used; • Assessing the amount recognised during the year in accordance with the vesting conditions of the agreements; • Assessing the adequacy of the disclosures included in Note 14 to the financial statements. |
Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2022 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, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 2(a), the directors also state in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements , that the financial report complies with International Financial Reporting Standards.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. 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.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
==> picture [595 x 63] intentionally omitted <==
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Company audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Report on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2022. The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the remuneration report in accordance with s 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 . Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the remuneration report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
Auditor’s Opinion
In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of the Company, for the year ended 30 June 2022, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 .
