REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Sabre Resources Ltd, (the Company), advanced the Sherlock Bay Nickel Project in the western Pilbara region of Western Australia during the reporting period. This project contains the Sherlock Bay Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Deposit. Exploration of the Otavi Mountain Land (OML) vanadium and base metal project continued in northern Namibia.
Sherlock Bay Project, Western Australia
Sabre Resources holds a 70% interest in the Sherlock Bay Project located in the western Pilbara region of Western Australia. The Project is well-located, 12 km off Highway 1 between Roebourne and Port Hedland, with access to critical mining infrastructure. The Project tenements comprise two exploration licenses for which a renewal application has been submitted (E47/1769 and E47/1770) and a mining lease (M47/567)(Figure 1)

Sherlock Bay Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Deposit
Mining lease M47/567 contains the Sherlock Bay nickel-copper-cobalt deposit. The deposit is hosted within the Archaean West Pilbara Granite-Greenstone Belt. It comprises two main lenticular lodes (termed Discovery and Symond's Well, Figure 2) hosted within a sub-vertical to steep north dipping chert horizon with a combined strike length of 1,600 m. Mineralised widths are variable but in the higher grade portions of the main zones can be up to 30 m and are continuous down dip in excess of 500 m in places.
The Sherlock Bay deposit was initially discovered and defined by Texas Gulf in the 1970's. Additional drilling was carried out by Sherlock Bay Nickel Corporation ("SBNC") between 2003 and 2007. The resource is now defined by a total of 201 drill holes for 31,092 m.

Feasibility Studies
Extensive previous exploration and development work has been completed on the Sherlock Bay Project and Sabre has obtained access to all these data for the deposit. Feasibility-level studies that have been completed by previous owners indicate that potential exists to develop a mining and heap leach processing operation and that nickel recoveries exceeding 90% are achievable.
DIRECTORS REPORT
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (continued)
Mining Study Update 2018-9
In June 2018, Sabre commissioned AMC Consultants Pty Ltd (AMC) to undertake a review of the previous mining study for the Sherlock Bay deposit to update costs for the open pit mining and evaluate the underground mining. The results of the review were reported in August 2018 (refer to Sabre Resources ASX announcement 14th August 2018. The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the original market announcement). The results of the mining study were positive and have encouraged the Company to proceed with further studies of processing options and to update estimates for the capital and operating costs for the Sherlock Bay Project.
The open pit cost update was based on the updated resource estimate, which is restated in compliance with the JORC Code 2012 (refer to Sabre Resources ASX announcement 12th June 2018 The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the original market announcement). The deposit contains total Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources of:
24.6 Mt grading 0.4% nickel, 0.09% copper and 0.02% cobalt
The underground cost update was based on the resource model and evaluation detailed in the Sherlock Bay mining study report completed by AMC in 2005 (2005 Report).
To comply with ASX Listing Rules, Sabre cannot release details of projected cash flows and detailed costs in the mining study update at this time. These data will be released on completion of a processing study and when fully incorporated into a comprehensive scoping/pre-feasibility study.
The open pit optimisation, pit design and all cost updates (both open pit and underground) were carried out by AMC at scoping study level. The updates are based on contractor mining costs. The scoping studies referred to in the report are based on low-level technical and economic assessments and are insufficient to support estimation of Ore Reserves or to provide assurance of an economic development case at this stage, or to provide certainty that the conclusions of the scoping studies will be realised.
The updated resource estimate block model, relevant input parameters and mining costs were used by AMC to create optimal pit shells using Whittle Four-X software. A suitable pit shell was used to prepare a preliminary pit designs (Figure 3), pit stages and schedule.
The updated costs for the underground were applied to the evaluation detailed in the 2005 Report for mining using a longitudinal sublevel caving method. There were no changes to:
- Resource model used;
- Mining method;
- Access and infrastructure;
- Ventilation;
- Materials handling;
- Mining designs; and
- Schedules (capital development, operating development, production).
In the December quarter the Company engaged Mineralogical consultancy group Vintage94 Pty Ltd to review previous studies on metallurgical and mineral processing and to recommend alternative processing flowsheet options and ascertain the effect on CAPEX and OPEX costs.
DIRECTORS REPORT
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (continued)
Vintage94 has recommended producing nickel sulphide as the end product, rather than the more common nickel sulphate product, because it results in lower cost processing and is more marketable that nickel sulphate. Based on this revised mineral processing flowsheet, Vintage94 generated a life of mine financial model incorporating the updated mining cost estimates from AMC and nickel price forecasts. The financial model allows input costs and assumptions to be modified highlighting sensitivities and critical factors that will impact project development.
The Vintage94 study is part of SBR's review and update of the substantial feasibility study work that has previously been completed on the development of the Sherlock Bay deposit. The extensive information already available and the mining and processing studies that have been carried out by SBR will allow the Company to rapidly advance the evaluation of the project to feasibility stage.

Conglomerate-hosted Gold
The Sherlock Bay Project also covers highly sought after ground that has potential for conglomeratehosted gold mineralisation. The project area is almost totally surrounded by tenements held by Novo Resources Inc. (Figure 4). It sits strategically within the conglomerate-gold search area adjacent to and to the east of ground held by Artemis Resources Ltd and to the west of ground held by De Grey Mining Ltd. No prior exploration for gold has been undertaken in the project area.

Otavi Mountain Land copper and base metal project, Namibia
The Project is located in the Otavi Mountain Land (OML) metallogenic province (Figure 5), historically a globally important source of copper, zinc, lead, and vanadium. The OML has a long mining history dating back to the late 1800's and consequently has excellent infrastructure, including roads, power, water, rail to port and the Tsumeb base metal smelter complex, one of only five operating copper smelters in Africa.
No field work was completed on the Company's projects during the reporting period due to delays obtaining renewals of the relevant exploration tenements in Namibia from the Ministry of Mining and Energy. The Company's Exclusive Prospecting Licence (EPL) No. 3540 was renewed by the MME on the 8TH May 2019 and EPL 3542 was renewed on the 9th May 2019 both for two year terms. (Appendix I).
The lengthy delay in obtaining renewals for the tenements has impacted on the ability of the Company to progress its exploration and access the capital markets. The Company now has security of tenure and can proceed with its exploration and also consider other options such as farm-in or joint venture arrangements.

DIRECTORS REPORT
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (continued)
Zinc-lead-silver propects
The outlook for the zinc price remains positive supporting the ongoing review of the zinc and lead opportunities within the Otavi Mountain Land project. A summary of these opportunities is provided below.
Border Zn-Pb-Ag Deposit
Sabre's Border Zn-Pb project has a JORC 2012 Inferred Resource of 16.0Mt @ 1.53% Zn, 0.59% Pb and 4.76g/t Ag1 is located within a 25km significant regional zinc-lead anomalous corridor, which hosts a number known occurrences including Border, Toggenburg and South Ridge to the East, and Harasib to the west (Figure 6).
Following increases in the zinc price, a review of the capital and operating cost assumptions in the 2011 Scoping Study completed at Border continued. Metallurgical sighter testwork on a bulk sample conducted for that study shows that the mineralisation responds very favourably to Heavy Media Separation ('HMS'). Border mineralisation upgrades with HMS, before grinding and flotation, to a product of 12.5% Zn + 6.3% Pb with recoveries of 86% and 92.5% respectively1.
1The results of the Inferred Resource as well as the mineralisation were reported in October 2014 (refer to Sabre Resources ASX announcement 16th October 2014. The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the original market announcement).
Toggenburg Zn-Pb-Ag prospect
Toggenburg is located along strike from Border, and is interpreted to be controlled by the same structures (Figure 7).
Anomalies defined at Toggenburg measure over 2.8 km long and up to 250 m wide and are open to the east and west. The anomalies have an area more than four times the size of the equivalent anomaly at Border, where a 0.1 % Zn+Pb cutoff in the near-surface approximates the footprint of zinc and lead sulphide mineralisation at depth.
Maximum combined zinc and lead values identified in shallow geochemical drilling at Toggenburg are in excess of 2.9%. Four targets have been selected for reverse circulation drilling. It is expected that, like the Border Zn-Pb deposit to the west, mineralisation will dip to the north-northwest, parallel to the host dolomite sequence.
DIRECTORS REPORT
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Figure 7: Sabre's Border and Toggenburg Zn-Pb projects are located along the Border-Toggenburg Corridor which hosts anomalous zinc and lead mineralisation over 25km
Auros Prospect
Sabre's regional soil sampling programs have identified significant zinc-lead anomalism in the Auros area which is the possible western limit of a regional zinc-lead anomalous corridor extending east for about 20km. Over 1,087 samples were collected resulting in the definition of the Auros zinc-lead anomaly which covers over 300 hectares, measuring over 2.5 km by 5.0 km (Figure 8).

Figure 8: The Auros Zinc-Lead anomaly
DIRECTORS REPORT
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (continued)
The Auros anomaly has been defined using a 0.1% Zn+Pb cutoff (as at Toggenburg) and contains a peak value of 8.25 % Zn+Pb (6.30 % Zn and 1.95 % Pb – determined by portable XRF) near the historic Nageib workings. Numerous percentage-grade results were obtained in areas with no known historic mining activity. One such area, which recorded soil values up to 4.65 % Zn+Pb (3.20 % Zn and 1.45 % Pb), exhibits outcropping brecciated and disseminated sphalerite and galena mineralisation.
Detailed interpretation of high-resolution aeromagnetic data over the Auros area shows that bedding and its interaction with several important cross-cutting structures seem to control the distributions of intense zinc and lead anomalism throughout the area.
Vanadium Prospects
Sabre has continued to review vanadium prospects and targets on the Company's tenements following increases in the vanadium pentoxide price over the last few years. A summary of priority prospects is provided below.
Baltika Prospect
Baltika is located within and toward the west of Sabre's EPL 3540. The historical mine produced 5,820t of concentrate grading 9% vanadium pentoxide between 1931 and 1942. Vanadium mineralisation is associated with east-west trending zinc- and lead-bearing structures proximal to the contact which hosts the Kombat and Guchab Cu-Zn-Pb mining centres to the east within the Kombat Corridor.
Utisab Prospect
Utisab is a historic open pit mine located 7km east of the Kaskara prospect and 29km from Abenab. Previous production is not recorded but mining was small scale. No modern exploration has been conducted.
Copper Projects
Sabre has defined copper mineralisation in two major trends with potential for Tsumeb, Kipushi and Kombat breccia-style massive sulphide pipes, and Tschudi-style stratiform mineralisation.
Kombat Copper Trend
Copper in geochemical drilling at Guchab South has identified visible chalcocite and malachite over an 850m by 100m zone which is located along trend east of the Kombat Copper Mine Figure 9).
The disseminated copper mineralisation at Guchab South is interpreted to be a possible halo to potentially more massive mineralisation down plunge. Initial results show that the mineralisation has a shallow westerly plunge. The down-plunge mineralised zone is interpreted to be overlain by the subsurface shale/dolomite contact.
Mineralisation at Guchab South is very similar to that at the Kombat Copper Mine located 10 km to the west. At Guchab South, copper sulphide mineralisation is hosted within hydraulic breccias that are often observed to be structurally controlled. Mineralised breccia zones are directly associated with various styles of alteration including silicification and calcitisation. Promisingly, hydrothermal calcite is manganese-rich, as it is in the major copper deposits of the region.
DIRECTORS REPORT
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Figure 9: Map of the Kombat Copper Trend, showing prospect areas and historical mines overlain on copper soil geochemistry
Kaskara Trend
The Kaskara copper-lead-zinc-vanadium prospect is considered to have potential for a large Tsumeb-style deposit. It was historically mined for vanadium and has shown very high grades of Cu, Pb, Zn and V2O5 in underground channel samples and RC percussion drilling.
Within the deposit, there is extensive alteration around numerous Pb, Zn, Cu, and V rich gossan-like breccias. A deep, funnel-shaped weathering profile, typical of shallow zones of major deposits of the region, is developed on the deposit. Extensive IP anomalism over several hundred metres laterally at depth, suggesting extensions of the mineralised zones (Figure 10).

Corporate and Tenement Management
Renewal applications for both EPL 3540 and EPL 3542 were submitted to the Ministry of Mining and Energy (MME) in September 2018 and granted in May 2019 for a further two year term.
WA Vanadium Projects
In 2018 the Company acquired Kinetic Metals Pty Ltd. Kinetic Metals Pty Ltd was the holder of a 100% interest in each of the Speewah, Unaly and Balla Vanadium projects, all located in Western Australia (Figure 11).
All three projects were acquired as exploration licence applications which had not been granted by the WA Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS). In 2019 the Company opted to only progress the Speewah project through the Native Title process to grant. The Balla and Unaly projects were relinquished.

Figure 11: Kinetic Metals project location map
Speewah Vanadium Project
The Speewah Vanadium Project is located adjacent to and adjoins the area that contains the King River Copper Limited Speewah Dome project which hosts a JORC resource of 4.7 Bt at 0.3% V2O5 and 2% TiO2.
The Speewah project is comprised of an exploration license application (EL80/5219) of 89 graticular blocks covering an area of 292.15 km2 (Figure 12). The project is located in the eastern Kimberley region of Western Australia, approximately 100 km southwest of Kununurra.

Non-executive Directors receive a fixed fee, with Executive Directors being remunerated for any professional services conducted for the Company.
No Director has an employment contract, but the employment terms and conditions of key management personnel and Group executives are formalised in twelve month contracts of employment.
Terms of employment require that thirty days' notice of termination of contract is required from either employer or employee. There is no agreement to pay any termination payment other than accrued salary and annual leave.
Directors and Executives received no benefits in the form of share-based payments during the year ended 30 June 2019.
There are no retirement schemes for any Directors or any loans or any other type of compensation. Board policy on the remuneration for this exploration company is influenced by comparing fees paid to directors in other companies within the exploration industry, and then set at a level to attract qualified people, to accept the responsibilities of directorship. No Director, executive or employee has an employment contract.
Being an exploration company, with no earnings, a relationship is yet to be established between an emolument policy and the Company's performance. During the year the Company did not engage remuneration consultants to review its existing remuneration policies.
At the last AGM shareholders voted to adopt the remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2018. The Company did not receive specific feedback at the AGM regarding its remuneration practices.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Corporate Information
The financial report of Sabre Resources Ltd (the Company) for the year ended 30 June 2019 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 26 September 2019.
Sabre Resources Ltd is a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange and Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
The nature of the operations and principal activity of the Group is mineral exploration.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of Preparation
The financial report is a general-purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations and complies with other requirements of the law, as appropriate for forprofit oriented entities. The financial report has also been prepared on an accruals basis and on a historical cost basis, except for financial assets and liabilities, which have been measured at fair value.
The financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
The financial report is presented in Australian Dollars.
The financial statements of the Company and Group have been prepared on a going concern basis which anticipates the ability of the Company and Group to meet its obligations in the normal course of the business.
(b) New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Period
New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the consolidated entity:
AASB 9 Financial Instruments
The consolidated entity has adopted AASB 9 from 1 July 2018. The standard introduced new classification and measurement models for financial assets. A financial asset shall be measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows which arise on specified dates and that are solely principal and interest. A debt investment shall be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is to both hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows which arise on specified dates that are solely principal and interest as well as selling the asset on the basis of its fair value. All other financial assets are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss unless the entity makes an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on equity instruments (that are not held-for-trading or contingent consideration recognised in a business combination) in other comprehensive income ('OCI').
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(b ) New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Period (continued)
Despite these requirements, a financial asset may be irrevocably designated as measured at fair value through profit or loss to reduce the effect of, or eliminate, an accounting mismatch. For financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss, the standard requires the portion of the change in fair value that relates to the entity's own credit risk to be presented in OCI (unless it would create an accounting mismatch). New simpler hedge accounting requirements are intended to more closely align the accounting treatment with the risk management activities of the entity. New impairment requirements use an 'expected credit loss' ('ECL') model to recognise an allowance. Impairment is measured using a 12-month ECL method unless the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition in which case the lifetime ECL method is adopted. For receivables, a simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses using a lifetime expected loss allowance is available.
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The consolidated entity has adopted AASB 15 from 1 July 2018. The standard provides a single comprehensive model for revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is that an entity shall recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard introduced a new contract-based revenue recognition model with a measurement approach that is based on an allocation of the transaction price. This is described further in the accounting policies below. Credit risk is presented separately as an expense rather than adjusted against revenue. Contracts with customers are presented in an entity's statement of financial position as a contract liability, a contract asset, or a receivable, depending on the relationship between the entity's performance and the customer's payment. Customer acquisition costs and costs to fulfil a contract can, subject to certain criteria, be capitalised as an asset and amortised over the contract period.
(c) Basis of consolidation
The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Parent Company and all of its subsidiaries as of 30 June 2019. The Parent controls a subsidiary if it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary. All subsidiaries have a reporting date of 30 June.
All transactions and balances between Group companies are eliminated on consolidation, including unrealised gains and losses on transactions between Group companies. Where unrealised losses on intra-group asset sales are reversed on consolidation, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment from a group perspective. Amounts reported in the financial statements of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group.
Profit or loss and other comprehensive income of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are recognised from the effective date of acquisition, or up to the effective date of disposal, as applicable.
Non-controlling interests, presented as part of equity, represent the portion of a subsidiary's profit or loss and net assets that is not held by the Group. The Group attributes total comprehensive income or loss of subsidiaries between the owners of the parent and the non-controlling interests based on their respective ownership interests.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(c) Basis of consolidation (continued)
The Group applies the acquisition method in accounting for business combinations. The consideration transferred by the Group to obtain control of a subsidiary is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of assets transferred, liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group, which includes the fair value of any asset or liability arising from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.
The Group recognises identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination regardless of whether they have been previously recognised in the acquiree's financial statements prior to the acquisition. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are generally measured at their acquisition-date fair values.
Goodwill is stated after separate recognition of identifiable intangible assets. It is calculated as the excess of the sum of (a) fair value of consideration transferred, (b) the recognised amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquire, and (c) acquisition-date fair value of any existing equity interest in the acquiree, over the acquisition-date fair values of identifiable net assets. If the fair values of identifiable net assets exceed the sum calculated above, the excess amount (i.e. gain on a bargain purchase) is recognised in profit or loss immediately.
Associates are those entities over which the Group is able to exert significant influence but which are not subsidiaries.
(d) Foreign currency translation
The functional and presentation currency of Sabre Resources Ltd, Link National Pty Ltd, Sherlock Operations Pty Ltd, Hammond Park Pty Ltd and Starloop Holdings Pty Ltd is Australian Dollars (A$), and the functional and presentation of Sabre Resources Namibia (Pty) Ltd and Gazania Investments Nine (Pty) Ltd is Namibian Dollars (N$).
Cash remittances from the parent entity to the Namibian subsidiaries are sent in Australian Dollars. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency at the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction.
Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.
As at the reporting date the assets and liabilities of any overseas subsidiaries would be translated into the presentation currency of Sabre Resources Ltd at the rate of exchange ruling at the Statement of Financial Position date and the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income are translated at the weighted average exchange rates for the period.
The exchange differences arising on the retranslation are taken directly to Other Comprehensive Income.
On disposal of a foreign entity, the deferred cumulative amount recognised in equity relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(e) Property, plant and equipment
Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:
Plant and equipment - over 3 to 5 years
Impairment
The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.
For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
If any such indication exists and where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the assets or cash-generating units are written down to their recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset.
Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the Statement of Profit or Loss in the period the item is derecognised.
(f) Impairment of non-financial assets
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that a non-financial asset may be impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the Group makes a formal estimate of recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. It is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset's value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value less costs to sell and it does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case, the recoverable amount is determined for the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

(g) 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 consolidated entity 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 shortterm 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 consolidated entity intends to hold for the foreseeable future and has irrevocably elected to classify them as such upon initial recognition.
Impairment of financial assets
The consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity'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.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(g) Investments and other financial assets (continued)
Fair value
Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm's length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.
Impairment
At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.
(h) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
Exploration and evaluation expenditure in relation to separate areas of interest for which rights of tenure are current is carried forward as an asset in the statement of financial position where it is expected that the expenditure will be recovered through the successful development and exploitation of an area of interest, or by its sale; or exploration activities are continuing in an area and activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable estimate of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves.
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
In the event that an area of interest is abandoned or if the Directors consider the expenditure to be of reduced value, accumulated costs carried forward are written off in the year in which that assessment is made. 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.
(i) Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables, which generally have 30-90 day terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts.
An allowance for doubtful debts is made when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the debts. Bad debts are written off when identified.
(j) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and short-term deposits in the Statement of Financial Position comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.
For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(k) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Where the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the profit or loss net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.
Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
(l) Share-based payment transactions
(i) Equity settled transactions:
In the year under review, the Group did not provide benefits to management personnel and consultants of the Group in the form of share-based payments whereby personnel render services in exchange for shares.
In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account was taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of Sabre Resources Ltd (market conditions). The cost of equity-settled transactions was recognised, together with the corresponding increase in equity, on the date of grant of the options.
The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share.
(ii) Cash settled transactions:
The Group does not provide benefits to employees in the form of cash-settled share based payments.
Any cash-settled transactions would be measured initially at fair value at the grant date using the Black-Scholes formula taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. This fair value is expensed over the period until vesting with recognition of a corresponding liability. The liability is remeasured to fair value at each reporting date up to and including the settlement date with changes in fair value recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(m)Revenue
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:
(i) 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.
(n) Income tax
Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences:
- except where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of 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 taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
- Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax credits 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,
- 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.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(n) Income tax (continued)
Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. Income tax benefits are comprised of research and development claims against eligible expenditure.
(o) Other taxes
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.
(o) Other taxes (continued)
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.
(p) Trade and other payables
Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised costs and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.
(q) 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.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(r) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated as net loss attributable to members of the parent, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net loss attributable to members of the parent, adjusted for:
- the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and
- other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.
(s) Comparatives
Comparatives are reclassified where necessary to be consistent with the current year's disclosures.
(t) Going Concern
The financial report has been prepared on the basis of going concern, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities, and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. During the period, the Group has reported a loss of $14,551,815, (2018: $554,063). Net cash outflow from operating activities was $804,461, (2018: $373,989) and from investing activities of $228,089, (2018: $225,609).
The Directors will continue to monitor the capital requirements of the Group, and this includes additional capital raisings in future periods as required. The Group has the ability to vary discretionary exploration expenditure if required.
In addition:
- Subsequent to year end, The Company has conducted a capital raising and raised $205,230 (before costs). Refer note 26.
- Subsequent to year end, the Company has also finalised binding terms for share placements to professional and sophisticated investors to raise capital for exploration, project development, working and other capital requirements. The shares will be issued subject to receiving shareholder approval. Refer note 26.
- The Company's largest creditor has confirmed that the Company has the unconditional right to defer settlement of amounts accrued at 30 June 2019 of $508,647 for at least fifteen months from 1 July 2019.
- The Company's largest lender has confirmed that the Company has the unconditional right to defer settlement of amounts provided under and interest free loan at 30 June 2019 of $444,791 for at least fifteen months from 1 July 2019.
- A shareholder of the Company has agreed to provide cash advances to the Company to sustain operations as required.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(t) Going Concern (continued)
The directors have concluded that the combination of these circumstances represent a material uncertainty that casts significant doubt about the group's ability to continue as a going concern. After making enquiries and considering the uncertainties described above the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For these reasons they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial report.
Should the group be unable to obtain the funding as described above, and/or lose the support of the major creditor (and shareholder) there is a material uncertainty whether the group will be able to continue as a going concern, and therefore, whether it will be required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts different from these stated in the financial report. The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the group be unable to continue as a going concern.
3. Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions
In applying the Group's accounting policies, management continually evaluates judgments, estimates and assumptions based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have an impact on the Group. All judgments, estimates and assumptions made are believed to be reasonable based on the most current set of circumstances available to management. Actual results may differ from the judgments, estimates and assumptions. Significant judgments, estimates and assumptions made by management in the preparation of these financial statements are outlined below:
- (i) Significant accounting judgments include:
- (a) Provision for investments in and loans to subsidiaries
Investments in, and loans to, subsidiaries are fully provided for until such time as subsidiaries are in a position to repay loans.
(b) Exploration expenditure
The Group determines whether exploration and evaluation expenditure is impaired on at least an annual basis. The application of this policy necessarily requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions as to future events and circumstances. Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. If, after having capitalised expenditure under this policy, it is concluded that the consolidated entity is unlikely to recover the expenditure by future exploitation or sale, then the relevant capitalised amount will be written off to profit and loss.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
3. Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions (continued)
- (ii) Significant accounting estimates and assumptions include:
- (a) Estimation of useful lives of assets
The estimation of the useful lives of assets has been based on historical experience as well as manufacturers' warranties (for plant and equipment) and turnover policies (for motor vehicles). In addition, the condition of assets is assessed at least once per year and considered against the remaining useful life. Adjustments to useful life are made when considered necessary.

Exploration write-downs totalled $13,998,311 and related to EPL 3540 Otavi and EPL 3542 Ongava. During the year ended 30 June 2019 both EPLs were renewed for a period of two years ending 7 May 2021 and 8 May 2021 respectively. As a result of the renewal process the tenement areas covered by the EPLs were reduced as follows:
- EPL 3540 reduced to 56.19km2
- EPL 3542 reduced to 116.29km2
During the year, the Directors received an independent valuation of EPL 3540 and EPL 3542, and concluded that capitalised exploration and evaluation costs have reduced in value. The Company, as a result, has written off exploration and evaluation during the year of $13,998,311 in relation to EPL 3540 and EPL 3542. Exploration and evaluation expenditure of $9,100,000 in respect to EPL 3542, and $3,500,000 in respect of EPL 3540, has been carried forward as at 30 June 2019.
11. Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure (continued)
Included in the above is $13,023,225 relating to Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure on tenements held in Namibia. The Namibian government has adopted The New Equitable Economic Empowerment Framework (NEEEF), a set of policies designed to encourage the private business sector to become more equitable and to make a greater contribution towards national economic empowerment and transformation.
At this stage, the enactment of NEEF does not appear to have any significant implications for our future activities in Namibia.
On 29 June 2012, the Group acquired all the issued share capital of Starloop Holdings Pty Limited (Starloop) for a purchase consideration of 5,360,000, consisting of 46,000,000 converting shares of Sabre Resources Ltd at a share price of 11cents and $300,000 in cash. The consideration securities were subject to a 12 month escrow period which expired on 28 June 2013. Other terms of the transaction included the issue of the further shares upon meeting the targets set out below:
-
- 25 million shares on achieving inferred JORC resource of 1million tonnes at a grade of 2% Cu, and
-
- A further 5 million shares on achieving an inferred JORC resource of 5 million tonnes at a grade of 3% Cu.

19. Financial Instruments
(a) Interest Rate Risk
The consolidated entity's exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instrument's value will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates and the effective weighted average interest rates on those financial assets and financial liabilities, is as follows:
| Consolidated Group | Floating InterestRate | Non-Interest Bearing | Total | ||||

| 12,393,961 | 26,308,982 |
(b) Credit Risk
The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at report date to recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets, net of any provision for doubtful debts, as disclosed in the Statement of Financial Position and notes to the financial report.
The consolidated entity does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single debtor or group of debtors under financial instruments entered into by the consolidated entity.
(c) Net Fair Values
The carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the financial statements represent their respective net fair values determined in accordance with the accounting policies disclosed in note 2 to the financial statements.
(d) Financial Risk Management
The Group's financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with recognised banks, investments in bank bills up to 90 days, accounts receivable and accounts payable, and loans to subsidiaries. Liquidity is managed, when sufficient funds are available, by holding sufficient funds in a current account to service current obligations and surplus funds invested in bank bills. The Directors analyse interest rate exposure and evaluate treasury management strategies in the context of the most recent economic conditions and forecasts. The main risks the Group is exposed to, through its financial instruments, are the depository banking institution itself, holding the funds, and interest rates. The Group's active exposure to foreign currency is confined to services procured through the Namibian subsidiary. The Group's credit risk is minimal as being an exploration company, no goods are sold, or services provided, for which consideration is claimed.
(e) Sensitivity Analysis
Interest Rate Risk, Foreign Currency Risk and Price Risk
The group has performed sensitivity analysis relating to its exposure to interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and price risk at report date. This sensitivity analysis demonstrates the effect on the current year results and equity which could result from a change in these risks.
19. Financial Instruments (continued)
Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis
At 30 June 2019, the effect on profit and equity as a result of changes in the interest rate, with all other variables remaining constant would be as minimal:
| Consolidated | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2019$ | 2018$ | ||
| Change in profit: | |||
| Increase in interest rate by 2%- | 15,584 | - | |
| Decrease in interest rate by 2%- | (15,584) | - | |
| Change in Equity | |||
| Increase in interest rate by 2%- | 15,584 | - | |
| Decrease in interest rate by 2%- | (15,584) | - |
Foreign Currency Risk Sensitivity Analysis
There is minimal foreign currency risk as insignificant balances of foreign currency are held.
(f) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. The Group manages the risk through the following mechanisms:
- preparing forward looking cash flow analysis in relation to its operational, investing and financing activities;
- maintaining a reputable credit profile;
- managing credit risk related to financial assets;
- only investing surplus cash with major financial institutions; and comparing the maturity profile of financial liabilities with the realisation profile of financial assets.
The tables below reflect an undiscounted contractual maturity analysis for financial liabilities.
Cash flows realised from financial assets reflect management's expectation as to the timing of realisation. Actual timing may therefore differ from that disclosed. The timing of cash flows presented in the table to settle financial liabilities reflects the earliest contractual settlement dates and does not reflect management's expectations that banking facilities will be rolled forward.

(g) Price risk
Price risk relates to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices largely due to demand and supply factors for commodities.
The Group is also exposed to securities price risk on investments held for trading or for medium to longer terms. Such risk is managed through diversification of investments across industries and geographical locations.

We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material Uncertainty Regarding Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 2 (t) in the financial report, which indicates that the Group incurred a net loss after tax of $14,551,815 and had net cash used in operating activities of $804,461 for the year ended 30 June 2019, and as of that date. As stated in Note 2(t) these conditions, along with other matters set forth in Note 2 (t), indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt about the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not further modified in respect of this matter.

- assessing the adequacy of the disclosures related to going concern in Note 2(t)
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 we addressed the Key Audit Matter
Consideration of impairment of capitalised mineral exploration and evaluation expenditure
Exploration and evaluation (E&E) activity is inherently risky and as such may require the impairment or write-off of the related capitalised costs when the relevant criteria in AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources and the Group's accounting policy are met.
There is a risk that certain capitalised E&E costs are neither impaired or written off promptly at the appropriate time, in line with information from, and decisions about E&E activities, and the impairment requirements of AASB 6.
Through our detailed risk assessment, which is based on our analysis of the portfolio of E&E assets held by the Group, making reference to the Group's own analysis of the same assets, we identified a significant risk in relation to tenements held in Namibia.
In accordance with AASB 6, the carrying value of EPL 3540 and EPL 3542 held in Namibia were required to be assessed for impairment in accordance with AASB 136 Impairment of Assets, to determine whether the carrying value of the asset exceeds the recoverable amount.
As a result, the carrying value of EPL 3540 was impaired to $3,500,000, and EPL 3542 was
Our procedures included, but were not limited to:
- conducting discussions with management regarding the criteria used in their impairment assessment and ensuring that this was in line with AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources;
- assessing the competence, capabilities and objectivity of the expert engaged by management to perform this assessment;
- evaluating the appropriateness of the valuation methodology selected by the valuer to determine the value of EPL 3540 and EPL 3542 E&E assets to the requirements of AASB 136 Impairment of Assets;
- assessed the Group's right to tenure by obtaining and assessing supporting documentation such as license agreements or renewals and any correspondence with relevant government agencies in connection with the renewal process; and
- reviewing the appropriateness of the related disclosures within the financial statements.

| The conditions and assessment undertaken inrelation to impairment are disclosed in the Group'saccounting policy Notes 2(f), Note 3 and Note 11 inthe financial report | |
| This matter is considered a key audit matter due to: | |
| The significance of the impairment expense to•the financial statements of the Group; | |
| The specialised nature of the E&E assets which•requires judgement by us to assess theappropriateness of the valuation methodologies | |
| and inputs when applying the requirements ofAASB 136. The Group has appointed an | |
| external valuer to assist in this process; andcorroborate valuation inputs and assumptions• |
Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group's 2019 Annual Report for the period 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 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 upon the work we have performed, we conclude that there is 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 preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting, unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material mis-statement when it exists. Mis-statements 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 the financial report.
As part of an audit in accordance with 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 Group'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 and conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group'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. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group 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 statements represent 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 Group to express an opinion on the group financial report. The auditor is responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. The auditor remains solely responsible for the 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 be reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated to 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 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.
