REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

During the period, Rumble Resources Ltd (“Group”) executed the Board’s clear strategy of generating a pipeline of quality high grade base and precious metal projects at various stages of exploration and development, critically reviewing them against stringent criteria developed by Rumble’s highly regarded Technical Director Brett Keillor, negotiating low cost upfront optionality and systematically exploring multiple projects to drill test for high grade world class discoveries.

The Company believes that its combination of a clear strategy, strong corporate and technical capabilities, attractive capital structure, current cash position and access to capital makes it well placed to exponentially grow through systematic exploration of its first order projects and also via project acquisitions.

Corporate Update

  • The Company lodged an R&D application with its tax return during the period and received $580,000 in December 2018.

  • The Company’s directors converted $110,000 of options into shares in the Company at a 26% premium to the share price at the time (August 2018).

  • The Company successfully raised $1,500,000 through a Placement in May 2019.

Braeside/Barramine Zn–Pb–Cu–Ag-Au–V Project, Western Australia

The project area comprises an area of over 1813 km² with Rumble owning 70% of E45/2032, 100% of 8 applications and can earn 70% of the contiguous northern Barramine project E45/4368.

The project lies 140km east of Marble Bar and is located on the eastern margin of the Pilbara Craton in the northwest of Western Australia and hosted many historic high grade base metal small-scale mines that produced lead, zinc and silver from 1901 to 1959.

During the year RC drilling was completed on E45/2032:

  • 61 slimline RC drill-holes for 5108m testing 14 targets/prospects

  • The drill holes were designed to test up to four mineralization styles within extensive highly mineralised altered structures.

  • The RC drilling program discovered a regional scale porphyry to epithermal system to surface that has camp-scale potential for multiple deposit types.

  • Of significance over 60 km of mineralised strike, up to 8km wide has been delineated.

During the year a CSIRO Study completed Phase 1 multi-spectral alteration and mineral mapping study of mineralization and geology within E45/2032 with the study aiming to:

  • Evaluate spectral alteration and mineral mapping with respect to known base metal mineralization, to ascertain potential signatures that will aid in further exploration.

  • Review the response of the various mineral mapping signatures to outcrop, sub crop and shallow covered regolith with the aim to extrapolate into other prospective regions.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

  • Compile all available information (generated by Rumble), including surface geochemistry, aero-magnetics and VTEM along with publicly available GSWA regional geological mapping and then correlate with the CSIRO generated mineral mapping /alteration imagery to highlight potential associations.

Phase 1 was successfully completed and it has enabled Rumble to progress to Phase 2 with CSIRO. Through the Innovations Connections element of the Australian Government’s Entrepreneurs’ Programme, the Company will receive a dollar-matched grant of $50,000 for the Phase 2. In Phase 2, the Company and CSIRO will investigate:

  • 1) The relationship between the alteration mineral assemblages and the mineralization as well as the paragenesis of the ore.

  • 2) The source of the mineralising fluids.

  • 3) The age of the Pb and Zn mineralisation.

As released subsequent to the end of the FY2019 period:

14 high priority targets made up of nine new targets (no drilling) and five prospects outlined during the 2018 RC drilling programme have significant base metal and alteration intercepts and are open along strike.

1. Moxam’s V-Pb – Very high-grade V and Pb defined over a strike of 400m (mineralisation is open). Very highgrade grab samples include:

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Munarra Gully high grade Cu-Au-Co Project, Western Australia

The Munarra Gully Project is located some 50km NNE of the town of Cue within the Murchison Goldfields of Western Australia.

The Company exercised the option in March 2019 to acquire 80% of the mineral rights over the tenement assets of M51/122 and E51/1677 (excluding gold) in respect of the Munarra Gully project. In addition, the Company also acquired 100% of 3 highly prospective tenements contiguous to the Munarra Gully project covering the inferred northern strike extension of the copper-gold mineralised corridor, increasing the strike to 25km.

Munarra Gully - M51-0122 – White Rose Cu-Au Prospect

During the year Rumble completed an aircore and RC drill program at the project. Shallow air-core drilling identified wide zones of copper-gold anomalism (up to 80m in width) at surface within highly weathered mafic intrusive.

RC drilling results include:

  • WRRC019 – 15m @ 0.88% Cu, 0.77 g/t Au from surface.

  • Including 8m @ 1.1% Cu, 0.96 g/t Au from 4m.

  • WRRC020 – 21m @ 0.75% Cu, 0.53 g/t Au from 24m

  • Entire Hole is mineralised – 78m @ 0.34% Cu, 0.23 g/t Au.

  • WRRC021 – 24m @ 0.71% Cu, 0.33 g/t Au from 65m

As released subsequent to the end of the FY2019 period:

M51/0122 – White Rose Cu-Au Feeder Defined

Rumble discovered a differentiated copper-gold bearing mafic sill. RC drilling includes:

  • 22m @ 1.00% Cu from 29m with 19m @ 2.19 g/t Au from 33m (2018 drilling)

  • Cu to 2.66% and Au to 11.56 g/t (High-Grade Potential)

  • 15m @ 0.88% Cu, 0.77 g/t Au from surface

  • 21m @ 0.75% Cu, 0.53 g/t Au from 24m

  • Entire hole mineralised – 78m @ 0.34% Cu, 0.23 g/t Au (0.1% Cu cut-off)

  • 24m @ 0.71% Cu, 0.33 g/t Au from 65m

  • 0.5% Cu lower cut off

  • Mineralisation is considered ortho-magmatic and is associated with disseminated chalcopyrite, bornite and pyrite. The background copper is elevated for the width of the entire sill (500 – 1000ppm Cu). Mineralisation is generally low sulphur and is concentrated at the base of the mafic phase of sill.

  • The mineralised sill is interpreted to be a feeder channel, part of a larger sill complex with potential for higher grade mineralisation down plunge –RTR only tested the upper extent of what may be a much larger system below

  • The mineralised sill feeder zone is over 350m in strike and up to 150m in width and open at depth

Next Steps

  • White Rose Prospect - 2 RC Holes followed by DHTEM – target high-grade down plunge

  • Regional – The mineralised copper-gold sill is considered to be a part of a larger sill complex with potential to find further copper-gold bearing mafic sills - shallow air core drilling is planned to test the 25km mineralised corridor.

E51/1677 – New Shallow High-Grade Cobalt-Platinum Discovery

Rumble completed first pass reconnaissance air core drilling which discovered high-grade lateral cobalt – platinum mineralisation under shallow cover. Single metre assaying includes:

  • 2m @ 0.48% Co, 220 ppb Pt from 18m

  • 3m @ 0.37% Co, 75 ppb Pt from 14m

– 5 –

Rumble Resources Ltd

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

& Controlled Entities

  • 2m @ 0.20% Co, 203 ppb Pt from 11m

  • 1m @ 0.55% Co, 382 ppb Pt from 13m

  • Co-Pt mineralisation is associated with a strongly lateritised pyroxenite intrusive under 5m of cover – indicating high potential for high-grade laterite cobalt deposits under shallow cover

Next Steps

  • Mineralisation is completely open with up to 10km strike potential – Rumble to fast-track systematic shallow air core traverses to scope out the high-grade lateritic cobalt mineralisation.

Thunderstorm Ni-Cu-Au Project, Fraser Range JV with IGO 70% / RTR 30%

During the year, the Company JV Partner Independence Group NL (ASX: IGO) advised that it had continued exploration activities to earn an interest in Rumble’s highly prospective Thunderstorm project in the Fraser Range region of WA.

On 1 July 2019 the Company announced IGO had provided formal notice that it has met its obligation to spend more than $1.5 million within 3 years to earn a 70% stake in the Fraser Range JV. As a result, Rumble is now freecarried 30% up to the completion of a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS).

High Grade Gold Discovery – IGO Exploration Completed

IGO notified Rumble that it had intersected significant shallow high-grade gold mineralisation within the Thunderstorm project in a large scale palaeo-drainage system and underlying basement on wide spaced air core drilling (1.5km by 400m pattern) completed by the project manager (Independence Group).

Themis Prospect

At the Themis Prospect, high-grade gold mineralisation was intersected within a palaeo-drainage and into basement rocks. Hole 18AFAC30771 returned:

  • ➢ 25m @ 2.42 g/t Au from 42m ⃰

Including 5m @ 10.85 g/t from 49m ⃰

Pion Prospect

At the Pion Prospect, some 13 km further along the palaeo-drainage at the Pion Prospect, hole 18AFAC20486 returned:

➢ 4m @ 3.8 g/t Au from 86m

Potential

  • The intersection of significant high-grade gold mineralisation in wide spaced drilling within a large complex palaeo-drainage system over a broad area highlights the potential for both palaeo-channel and basement gold deposits.

  • Rumble considers the Themis Prospect gold mineralisation as the most significant gold intercept in the Fraser Range in recent years outside of the Tropicana gold system.

  • The main palaeo-drainage has not been tested between the two main intercepts (18AFAC30771 and 18AFAC20486), a distance of 11km (13km by drainage) highlighting the scale potential.

Next Steps

  • IGO will complete infill drilling around the significant high-grade gold mineralisation.

  • IGO is completing broad spaced (1.5km by 400m) air core drilling over the remaining untested

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Earaheedy High Grade Zn Project, Western Australia

Rumble has the option to acquire 75% of the Earaheedy Project E69/3464 with Fossil Prospecting Pty Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX Listed Zenith Minerals Ltd – (ASX: ZNC) and owns 100% of E69/3543, E69/3745 and E69/3746 - located approximately 110km north of Wiluna, WA

During the year two gravity surveys covering an area of 24km² were completed on 100m by 100m and 200m by 100m spacings (1080 stations). The surveys targeted the main basement fault zone (interpreted from aeromagnetics) and the stronger base metal drill-hole intercepts from the historic drilling.

As released subsequent to the end of the FY2019 period:

The Company released exploration results on 22 August 2019 comprised of four (4) diamond drill holes (total meterage – 1199.8m) and two (2) RC drill holes (total metreage – 374m).

A style of Zn–Pb mineralization not previously recognized has been discovered at Earaheedy. Four holes (by Rumble) have intercepted this style of mineralization where Zn - Pb sulphides have developed in porous sandstone grits. The mineralization is interpreted to be associated with a shallow sub-basin unconformably overlying the carbonates that host widespread MVT (Mississippi Valley Type) Zn (dominant) – Pb occurrences.

Potential and Style

  • Rumble first pass drilling intercepted a flat lying porous sandstone to grit (unconformity) unit hosting ZnPb which has been interpreted to form a shallow sub-basin with approximate dimensions of 8km by 2km.

  • • Re-interpretation of historic drilling in conjunction with the recent Rumble drilling has inferred the subbasin as highly prospective for significant laterally extensive flat lying sandstone hosted Zn-Pb deposits – At least 12 mineralised Zn-Pb intercepts are within the sandstone grit unit. Example historic drill-holes with significant mineralisation in sandstone:

  • TDH20 - 6m @ 3.91% Zn, 0.39% Pb from 210.5m

  • TRC47 – 7m @ 4.85% Zn+Pb from 103m (hole ended in mineralization)

Next Steps

  • Drill targeting of up-dip position to the southwest, where the unconformity has not been tested and the sandstone sub-basin comes to the surface under cover with the focus on defining Zn-Pb mineralization amenable to open cut mining.

Lamil Cu-Au Project, Paterson Province, Western Australia

Subsequent to the end of the period Rumble announced that it has entered into a $10m Farm Out for the Lamil Project with AIC Mines (ASX:A1M) to earn 65% within 5 years.

The Lamil Project (area of 1375 km²), located in between the major mining operations of the Nifty Cu mine and the large Telfer Au-Cu mine within the Paterson Province, East Pilbara, Western Australia. Rumble received interest from a large number of parties on the Lamil Project due to its Tier 1 jurisdiction, recent significant discoveries in the region by Rio Tinto Limited (Winu CU-Au Discovery) and Greatland Gold plc (Havieron gold-copper discovery), the projects favourable location and shallow first order targets that remain untested.

Rumble completed a very competitive JV process and carefully considered all aspects of the proposals to ensure maximum benefit to Rumble shareholders. As a result of the process undertaken, Rumble identified AIC as the ideal strategic partner that has not only the right technical capability and funding to complete significant exploration on the Lamil Project, but has substantial experience in project development and with the cross shareholding provides further leverage to this developing relationship.

Rumble Resources Ltd & Controlled Entities

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Lamil Project Targets

  • Lamil dome structure (Target P1 – “Lamil Dome”)

  • Target has similar dome size, trend and host rocks to the Telfer Au – Cu deposit (32Moz Au, 1Mt Cu resource), a large dome structure which lies 30km to the northeast

Large southeast plunging synform (Target P2)

  • Target has similar characteristics to the Nifty Cu Deposit (2Mt Cu resource) which lies 60km to the northwest

Northeast structure and dome (Targets P3 and P4)

  • Northeast structure (P3) with significant demagnetisation (alteration and fluid flow) – NE structures known for mineralisation (upgrade overprint at the Nifty Cu deposit)

  • Partial domal, closure and ovoid structures immediately east of Target P1 (“Lamil Dome”)

Panache Ni-Cu-Co-Au-PGE Project, Sudbury Canada,

Rumble has an option agreement to acquire up to 100% of the Panache Project. Rumble is targeting intrusion hosted disseminated to semi-massive Ni–Cu–PGE–Au sulphide deposits and Contact related Ni–Cu-Co-PGE sulphide deposits.

Rumble has identified over 8km of prospective strike (Gabbro contact) has been inferred and remains untested

During the year Rumble completed a ground TEM program at Area B targeting shallow conductors:

  • Exposed gossans (up to 10m wide and 950m of strike) with grab sampling identifying were tested by the ground EM Survey :

  • Cu to 1.61%, Ni to 0.49%, Co to 1.1%, Au to 1.64 g/t, Pt to 1.64 g/t and Pd to 1.58 g/t Pd

  • Two compelling shallow conductors (conductor A & B) at a depth of 40m were delineated side by side:

  • Conductor A has a strong conductive response (9000 siemens) and is considered to be semi to massive sulphide.

  • Conductor B has a lower conductive response (400 siemens) and is considered to be a zone of stringer sulphide.

  • No previous drilling or geophysical targeting over Area B

Next Steps

  • A single diamond drill hole scheduled to test the two conductors

Long Lake Ni-Cu-PGM-Co Project, Sudbury Canada

Rumble has an option agreement to acquire up to 100% of the Long Lake Project. Rumble is targeting blind Sudbury “Offset Dyke” massive Ni–Cu–PGM type deposits

Long lake is the Extension the ‘Copper Cliff Offset Dyke System’

  • The Copper Cliff offset Dyke is a world class copper-nickel sulphide system producing some 200 million tonnes of ore with Vale Limited’s Clarabelle mill, smelter and nickel refinery are all located close to the Copper Cliff Offset dyke.

  • The southernmost deposit discovered to date is at Kelly Lake with a reserve of 10.5 Mt @ 1.77% Ni, 1.34% Cu and 3.6 g/t PGM.

  • Note: IGO’s Nova – Bollinger Deposit in Fraser Range, WA has a reserve of 13.3 Mt @ 2.06% Ni and 0.83% Cu (2017).

  • Fieldwork (including a single shallow diamond drill-hole of anomaly 19) has identified 4km’s of strike with key features known to host Sudbury Basin deposits which include:

  • o Sudbury Breccia

  • Quartz diorite

  • Same geochemistry as Sudbury basin deposits

– 8 –

Rumble Resources Ltd & Controlled Entities

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

  • The 4km occurrence is inferred to be the faulted southern extension of the ‘Copper Cliff Offset Dyke’ system that has been moved west by later regional faults - some 10km SW of the Kelly Lake Ni-Cu-PGM deposit.

During the year Rumble completed Phase 1 GTEM which failed to identify a conductor.

Next Steps

  • Phase 2 GTEM - A high definition ground TEM survey has been planned to test the potential extension of Copper Cliff Offset Dyke.

  • The aim is to generate high order conductors that will be subsequently tested with diamond drilling.

About Sudbury Mining Camp, Ontario Canada

  • Since 1883, the Sudbury Mining Field has been the second-largest supplier of nickel ore in the world with over 1.7 billion tonnes of past production, reserves and resources.

  • Ni-Cu and PGM bearing sulphide minerals occur in a 60 km by 27 km elliptical igneous body called the Sudbury Igneous Complex (“SIC”). The current model infers the SIC was formed some 1,844 million years ago after sheet-like flash/impact melting of nickel and copper bearing rocks by a meteorite impact.

  • Mineralization occurs within the SIC as well as in the neighbouring country rocks in close association with breccias and ‘Offset Dykes’.

Important: Nearly half of the nickel ore at Sudbury occurs in breccias and Offset Dykes in the footwall rocks of the “SIC”.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Cranes Prospect

  • Rumble considers the gold in lag anomalism at Cranes as prospective for high-grade gold shoot-like mineralisation (similar style to the Western Queen Central and South Deposits). Significant surface laterite gold mineralisation supports the high order gold in lag anomalism.

Next Steps

  • Complete a geophysical (TEM) survey south of the Western Queen Central pit - The survey will aid in drill targeting

  • Deep RC Drilling targeting high-grade gold plunge extension and geophysical response at Western Queen Central

  • Drill target near surface gold resources at Cranes Prospect

Nemesis high grade Au project, Western Australia

During the year Rumble has relinquished it’s the Nemesis Gold Project (M20/33) in line with its strategy.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)

This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each director of Rumble Resources Ltd and for the executives receiving the highest remuneration.

1. Employment Agreements

Mr Shane Sikora currently works for the Company in an executive capacity as the Managing Director. Under the terms of the agreement, Mr Sikora’s annual salary is $200,000 plus superannuation and the notice period is 3 months for either party. The contract is an ongoing contract until terminated in accordance with the terms of the employment agreement.

Appointments of non-executive directors Matthew Banks and Michael Smith 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. All non-executive directors are now entitled to receive a director’s fee of $25,000 plus statutory superannuation per annum.

Mr Brett Keillor provides services as Technical Director of the Company. Under the terms of the agreement, Mr Keillor’s annual salary is to be $120,000 plus superannuation and based on two days per week, and the notice period is one month by either party. The contract is an ongoing contract until terminated in accordance with the terms of the employment agreement.

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 long-term 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. The Board reviews executive packages annually by reference to the Company’s performance, executive performance and comparable information from industry sectors.

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 Board’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.

Executives are also entitled to participate in the employee share and option arrangements.

The executive directors receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which is currently 9.5%, and do not receive any other retirement benefits.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Rumble Resources Ltd & Controlled Entities

All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed, or capitalised to exploration expenditure if appropriate. Options, if given to directors and executives in lieu of remuneration, are valued using the Black-Scholes methodology. The board’s policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for time, commitment and responsibilities. The Board determines payments to the non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Fees for nonexecutive directors are not linked to the performance of the Company. However, to align directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company and are able to participate in the employee share option plan.

Rumble Resources Ltd & Controlled Entities

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These financial statements and notes represent those of Rumble Resources Limited and controlled entities (the “Company”). Rumble Resources is a listed public Company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The financial statements were authorised for issue on 27[th] of September 2019 by the directors of the Company.

Basis of Preparation

The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, including Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.

Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which they apply. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below. They have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected financial assets for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied. The financial report is presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.

Comparatives

When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.

– 24 –

Rumble Resources Ltd & Controlled Entities

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the Company in the preparation of the financial report.

a) Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by Rumble Resources Limited at the end of the reporting period. A controlled entity is any entity over which Rumble Resources Limited has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing the power to govern, the existence and effect of holdings of actual and potential voting rights are considered.

Where controlled entities have entered (left) the Consolidated Entity during the year, their operating results have been included (excluded) from the date control was obtained (ceased). A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 16 to the financial statements.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-group balances and transactions between entities in the Consolidated Entity, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with those adopted by the parent entity.

B) Impairment of Assets

At the end of each reporting date, the Company 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 including dividends received from subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities deemed to be out of pre-acquisition profits. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

c) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report 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.

d) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure

Exploration and evaluation costs are carried forward where right of tenure of the area of interest is current. These costs are carried forward in respect of an area that has not at balance date reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves, refer to the accounting policy stated in note 1(d).

e) Share based payment transactions

The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an internal valuation using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, using the assumptions detailed in note 11.

– 25 –

Rumble Resources Ltd & Controlled Entities

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For equity transactions with consultants and other employees, the fair value reflects the value attributable to services where applicable. Where there is no quantifiable value of services the value of options is calculated using the Black and Scholes option pricing model.

f) New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

The Company has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the Company during the financial year.

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

AASB 9 Financial Instruments

AASB 9 supersedes AASB 139 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’ and was adopted by the Company from 1 July 2018. This, and the related amendments to other accounting standards, introduced three significant areas of change from AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement:

  • A new model for classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities

  • A new expected loss impairment model for determining impairment allowances; and

  • A redesigned approach to hedge accounting.

The standard has been applied as at 1 July 2018 without adjustment to comparatives.

Classification and Measurement:

For financial liabilities, the existing classification and measurement requirements of AASB 139 are largely retained.

For financial assets, under the new standard these are classified as measured at amortised cost, fair value through profit or loss, or fair value through other comprehensive income. The classification is based on two criteria: the Group’s business model for managing the assets; and whether the instruments’ contractual cash flows represent ‘solely payments of principal and interest’ on the principal amount outstanding.

The assessment of the Company’s business model was made as of the date of initial application, 1 July 2018, and then applied retrospectively to those financial assets that were not derecognised before 1 July 2018. The assessment of whether contractual cash flows on debt instruments are solely comprised of principal and interest was made based on the facts and circumstances as at the initial recognition of the assets.

The classification and measurement requirements of AASB 9 did not have a significant impact on the Company.

Trade receivables are held to collect contractual cash flows and are expected to give rise to cash flows representing solely payments of principal and interest. Thus, the Company has continued to measure these at amortised cost under AASB 9. Under AASB 9, impairments of financial assets classified as measured at amortised cost are recognised on an expected loss basis which incorporates forward-looking information when assessing credit risk. Movements in the expected loss reserve are recognised in profit or loss. Due to the short-term nature and high quality of the financial assets, the Group has not recognised any impacts on the adoption of AASB 9.

Taxation receivables are considered statutory in nature and therefore not accounted for as financial assets under AASB 9. Taxation receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Listed equity investments previously classified as available for sale financial assets are now classified and measured as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

– 26 –

Rumble Resources Ltd & Controlled Entities

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company has not designated any financial liabilities as at fair value through profit or loss. There are no changes in classification and measurement for the Company’s financial liabilities.

Impairment:

The adoption of AASB 9 has required changes to the Company’s accounting for impairment losses for financial assets by replacing AASB 139’s incurred loss approach with a forward-looking expected credit loss (ECL) approach.

AASB 9 requires the Company to recognise an allowance for ECLs for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss and contract assets. The expected credit losses on these financial assets are estimated based on the Company’s historic credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current, as well as forecast, conditions at the reporting date.

For all other receivables measured at amortised cost, the Company recognises lifetime expected credit losses when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If the credit risk on the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial instrument at an amount equal to expected credit losses within the next 12 months.

Due to the short-term nature and high quality of the Company’s financial assets, the adoption of AASB 9 has not resulted in the recognition of additional impairment.

Hedge Accounting:

The hedge accounting requirements of AASB 9 are not applicable to the Company as the Company has not entered in to any hedging arrangements.

AASB 15 Revenue from contracts with Customers

AASB 15 was adopted by the Group from 1 July 2018. AASB 15 supersedes AASB 111 Construction Contracts, AASB 118 Revenue and related interpretations, and it applies with limited exceptions, to all revenue arising from contracts with its customers.

The core principle of AASB 15 is that an entity should recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Specifically, the Standard introduces a 5-step approach to revenue recognition:

Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract Step 3: Determine the transaction price Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation

Under AASB 15, an entity recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when ‘control’ of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer.

The standard requires the Group to exercise judgement, taking into consideration all of the relevant facts and circumstances when applying each step of the model to contracts with their customers. The standard also specifies the accounting for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract and the costs directly related to fulfilling a contract. The Group adopted AASB 15 in accordance with the transition requirements in AASB 15, which permits Groups to transition to AASB 15 by applying the Standard:

  • retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented; or

  • retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the Standard recognised as at the date of initial application (i.e., at the beginning of the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies the Standard).

– 27 –

Rumble Resources Ltd & Controlled Entities

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Group adopted AASB 15 using the full retrospective method of adoption.

At the initial date of application, the effect of adopting AASB 15 did not have a material impact on the transactions and balances recognised in the financial statements, including comparatives.

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Company for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2019. The Company's assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the Company, are set out below.

AASB 16 Leases

This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The standard replaces AASB 117 ‘Leases’ and for lessees will eliminate the classifications of operating leases and finance leases. Subject to exceptions, a ‘right-of-use’ asset will be capitalised in the statement of financial position, measured as the present value of the unavoidable future lease payments to be made over the lease term. The exceptions relate to shortterm leases of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets (such as personal computers and small office furniture) where an accounting policy choice exists whereby either a ‘right-of-use’ asset is recognised or lease payments are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. A liability corresponding to the capitalised lease will also be recognised, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of any future restoration, removal or dismantling costs. Straight-line operating lease expense recognition will be replaced with a depreciation charge for the leased asset (included in operating costs) and an interest expense on the recognised lease liability (included in finance costs). In the earlier periods of the lease, the expenses associated with the lease under AASB 16 will be higher when compared to lease expenses under AASB 117. However, EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation) results will be improved as the operating expense is replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit or loss under AASB 16. For classification within the statement of cash flows, the lease payments will be separated into both a principal (financing activities) and interest (either operating or financing activities) component. For lessor accounting, the standard does not substantially change how a lessor accounts for leases. The Company will adopt this standard from 1 July 2019. There will be minimal impact from the adoption as current leases are in relation to immaterial office leases held by the Company only.

g) Financial Instruments

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial instruments, incorporating financial assets and financial liabilities, are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs where the instrument is not classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs related to instruments classified as at fair value through profit or loss are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Financial instruments are classified and measured as set out below.

Classification and subsequent measurement

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. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the assets or liability, assuming the market participants acts in their economic best interests.

The consolidated entity does not designate any interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint venture entities as being subject to the requirements of accounting standards specifically applicable to financial instruments.

– 28 –

Rumble Resources Ltd & Controlled Entities NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(i) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Loans and receivables are included in current assets, except for those which are not expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. (All other loans and receivables are classified as noncurrent assets.)

(ii) Financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Gains or losses are recognised in profit and loss through the amortisation process and when the financial liability is derecognised.

Derivative instruments

The consolidated entity does not trade or hold derivatives.

Financial guarantees

The consolidated entity has no material financial guarantees.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 3: INCOME TAX EXPENSE

The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income). Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority. Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well unused tax losses. Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.

Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.

Potential deferred tax assets attributable to tax losses and exploration expenditure carried forward have not been brought to account at 30 June 2019 because the directors do not believe it is appropriate to regard realisation of the deferred tax assets as probable at this point in time. These benefits will only be obtained if:

  • the Company derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions for the loss and exploration expenditure to be realised;

  • no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Company in realising the benefit from the deductions for the loss and exploration expenditure.

NOTE 7: EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION EXPENDITURE

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves. Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the period in which the decision to abandon the area is made.

When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves.

A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.

Costs of site restoration are provided over the life of the facility from when exploration commences and are included in the costs of that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plant, equipment and building structures, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with clauses of the mining permits. Such costs have been determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and technology on an undiscounted basis.

Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations and future legislation. Accordingly the costs have been determined on the basis that the restoration will be completed within one period of abandoning the site.

The value of the Company’s interest in exploration expenditure is dependent upon:

  • the continuance of the Company’s rights to tenure of the areas of interest;

  • the results of future exploration; and

  • the recoupment of costs through successful development and exploitation of the areas of interest, or alternatively, by their sale.

The Company’s exploration properties may be subjected to claim(s) under native title, or contain sacred sites, or sites of significance to Aboriginal people. As a result, exploration properties or areas within the tenements may be subject to exploration restrictions, mining restrictions and/or claims for compensation. At this time, it is not possible to quantify whether such claims exist, or the quantum of such claims.

Capital risk management

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it may continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. Due to the nature of the Company’s activities, being mineral exploration, it does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. Accordingly, the objective of the Company’s capital risk management is to balance the current working capital position against the requirements of the Company to meet exploration programmes and corporate overheads. This is achieved by maintaining appropriate liquidity to meet anticipated operating requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required.

The net working capital position of the Company at 30 June 2019 is $1,222,266 (2018: $3,481,216) and the net decrease in cash held during the year was $1,973,018 (2018: increase of $2,183,240).

Equity-settled compensation

The Company operates equity-settled share-based payment employee share and option schemes. The fair value of the equity to which employees become entitled is measured at grant date and recognised as an expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase to an equity account. The fair value of shares is ascertained as the market bid price. The fair value of options is ascertained using a Black-Scholes pricing model which incorporates all market vesting conditions. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting date such that the amount recognised for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest. No options were granted during the year ended 30 June 2019.

If the Company decides to relinquish certain leases and/or does not meet these obligations, assets recognised in the Statement of Financial Position may require review to determine the appropriateness of carrying values. The sale, transfer or farm-out of exploration rights to third parties will reduce or extinguish these obligations. The ultimate recoupment of costs carried forward for exploration and evaluation is dependent on the successful development and commercial exploitation or sale of the respective mining areas.

The above exploration commitments include the Barramine Project (E45/4368) which is subject to a Farm-in agreement under which the Company has a right to earn an initial 70% interest in the project. Refer to below section for details on Farm-In and Joint Venture Commitments.

NOTE 20: OPERATING SEGMENTS

The Company has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the board of directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. The Company has one operating segment being mining exploration in Australia.

In the prior year, the Company had two geographic operating segments being Australia and Africa. As all operations in Africa have ceased during the year ended 30 June 2018, internal reporting no longer takes into consideration this geographic region.

During the year, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire the Long Lake and Panache projects located in Canada, however, activity there has been immaterial to date. As a result, there are no segment assets and liabilities or segment results as at or for the year ended 30 June 2019.

NOTE 21: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, accounts receivable, investments in listed shares and accounts payable.

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the oversight and management of the Company’s exposure to a variety of financial risks (including market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk).

Credit risk

The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to recognised financial assets, is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the Statement of Financial Position and notes to the financial statements.

Rumble Resources Ltd & Controlled Entities

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Company’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions is spread amongst approved counterparties.

Credit risk related to balances with banks and other financial institutions is managed by the board. The board’s policy requires that surplus funds are only invested with counterparties with a Standard & Poor’s rating of at least AA-. All of the Company’s surplus funds are invested with AA Rated financial institutions.

The credit risk for counterparties included in cash and cash equivalents at 30 June 2019 is detailed below:

Financial assets:
Cash and cash equivalents
- AA rated counterparties 1,831,332 3,804,350

The Company does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or Company of receivables under financial instruments entered into by the Company.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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.

Interest rate risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk as it invests funds at floating interest rates.

Interest rate sensitivity analysis

At 30 June 2019, the effect on loss and equity as a result of a 2% increase in the interest rate, with all other variables remaining constant would be a decrease in loss by $150 (2018: $60,286) and an increase in equity by $150 (2018: $60,286). The effect on loss and equity as a result of a 2% decrease in the interest rate, with all other variables remaining constant would be an increase in loss by $150 (2018: $60,286) and an decrease in equity by $150 (2018: $60,286).

Fair value of financial instruments

The Directors consider that the carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the financial statements approximates their fair value.

Financial instruments measured at fair value

The financial instruments recognised at fair value in the statement of financial position have been analysed and classified using a fair value hierarchy reflecting the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following levels:

  • Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (level 1);

  • Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (level 2); and

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

Independent Auditor's Report

To the Members of Rumble Resources Limited

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Rumble Resources Limited (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries (“the Consolidated Entity”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019, 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 statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors’ declaration.

In our opinion:

  • a. the accompanying financial report of the Consolidated Entity is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:

  • (i) giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2019 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and

  • (ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

  • b. the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 1.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. 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 Consolidated Entity 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 and evaluation expenditure
As disclosed in note 7 to the financial statements, as
at 30 June 2019, the Group’s capitalised exploration
and evaluation expenditure was carried at
$4,679,760.
The recognition and recoverability of the exploration
and evaluation expenditure was considered a key
audit matter due to:

The carrying value represents a significant
asset of the Group, we considered it necessary
to assess whether facts and circumstances
existed to suggest the carrying amount of this
asset may exceed the recoverable amount; and

Determining whether impairment indicators
exist involves significant judgement by
management
Our audit procedures included but were not limited
to:
− Assessing management’s determination of its
areas of interest for consistency with the
definition in AASB 6_Exploration and Evaluation_
of Mineral Resources(“AASB 6”);
− Assessing the Group’s rights to tenure for a
sample of tenements;
− Testing the Group’s additions to capitalised
exploration costs for the year by evaluating a
sample of recorded expenditure for consistency
to underlying records, the capitalisation
requirements of the Group’s accounting policy
and the requirements of AASB 6
− By testing the status of the Group’s tenure and
planned future activities, reading board minutes
and enquiries with management we assessed
each area of interest for one or more of the
following circumstances that may indicate
impairment of the capitalised exploration costs:
− The licenses for the rights to explore expiring
in the near future or are not expected to be
renewed;
− Substantive expenditure for further
exploration in the area of interest is not
budgeted or planned;
− Decision or intent by the Group to
discontinue activities in the specific area of
interest due to lack of commercially viable
quantities of resources; and
− Data indicating that, although a development
in the specific area is likely to proceed, the
carrying amount of the exploration asset is
unlikely to be recorded in full from successful
development or sale.
We also assessed the appropriateness of the
related disclosures in note 7 to the financial
statements.

Other Information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Consolidated Entity’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2019, 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 Consolidated Entity 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 1, 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 Consolidated Entity’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 Consolidated Entity 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.

Independent Auditor’s Report To the Members of Rumble Resources Limited (Continued)

==> picture [73 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

− 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 Consolidated Entity’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 Consolidated Entity’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 Consolidated Entity to cease to continue as a going concern.

− 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 Consolidated Entity to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Consolidated Entity 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 2019. The directors of the Consolidated Entity 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 Consolidated Entity, for the year ended 30 June 2019, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
