LANEWAY RESOURCES LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2017
The directors present their review of operations for the year ended 30 June 2017.
Review of Operations 2017
Laneway Resources is an emerging resource development company with projects in Queensland, New South Wales and New Zealand primarily targeting gold but also holding a coking coal project.
Location of Laneway Resources Projects
==> picture [455 x 364] intentionally omitted <==
Agate Creek Gold Project (Queensland)
Background on the Project Area
The Agate Creek Gold Project is located approximately 40km south of Forsayth and 60km west of Kidston in North Queensland. The project is comprised of EPM’s 17788, 17632, 17949, 17739, 17626, 17629 and MDL402 covering a total of 576km[2] . Consolidation of these EPM’s is being progressed with the department and is well advanced which will lead to significant cost and time savings with the statutory reporting.
Laneway has a JORC compliant resource, within MLA100030 comprising a combined Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource of 8.2 Million tonnes at 1.46g/t gold for 381,000 ounces at a 0.5 g/t gold cutoff grade which includes a high grade sub-set of 90,000t @ 6g/t.

LANEWAY RESOURCES LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2017
Mining Lease Application (MLA 100030)
The Company has a Mining Lease Application (MLA 100030) lodged with Queensland’s Department of Natural Resources and Mines (DNRM) over its Agate Creek Gold Project (the “Project”). The total area under the MLA is 689.3 Hectares covering the Sherwood and Sherwood West near surface high-grade prospects as well as prospective extensions to the known mineralised areas and the planned locations of necessary infrastructure to support mining operations. The Environmental Authority is in place (EPSL03068015) for the proposed mining operations.
The final Landholder Compensation Agreements have now been executed without the need for Land Court proceedings. Native Title arrangements with the Traditional Owners regarding compensation, employment and training opportunities are being progressed and once concluded will allow the grant of the Mining Lease by DNRM.
The grant of the ML will be an integral milestone in the Project’s progress towards commencing highgrade (low strip ratio) open cut mining operations at Agate Creek. Utilising an existing processing plant will significantly reduce the capital expenditure and time to first gold production.
Planned Drilling
Drilling is planned, as noted below, for the near term in the Sherwood area to infill gaps in the current data and help to finalise pit design.

Mining and Processing Agreement for Agate Creek
A Heads of Agreement (HoA) has been entered into with the operator of the Georgetown Plant, Etheridge Operations, to undertake mining operations at Agate Creek and also process ore at the Georgetown Plant, which is currently being taken off Care and Maintenance. Minor upgrades and
==> picture [251 x 180] intentionally omitted <==
repairs are being completed with a plan to re-commission it in 2017. Other 3[rd] party processing plant options are also available.
Pursuant to the HoA, the Company aims to process initially up to 200,000 tonnes of high grade ore (+8 g/t) from the Project at the Georgetown processing plant which has a current nominal throughput capacity of 100,000tpa. Refurbishment work is currently underway to lift the Mill’s grinding capacity to 200,000tpa with the reconditioning of the plant’s second 20tph mill which was not used by the previous owners

Table 1 – Updated Mineral Resource Figures and High Grade sub set for Mineral Resource
The introduction of the high-grade domains provides a basis for assessing near surface material suitable for open pit mining and toll treating at existing processing facilities. Deeper high-grade zones at Sherwood present underground targets but require additional drilling and interpretation.
Agate Creek Regional Prospects
The majority of work completed on the Agate Creek Project over the past 6 years has been undertaken within the MLA area with over 480 drillholes completed. However within the regional tenement package there has also been over 6,000 rockchips, 3,000 stream sediments, 1,600 soil samples and over 100 line km of geological mapping completed to date regionally.
The completed regional mapping and sampling has defined numerous high priority regional targets with less than 25% of the tenement holding so far covered. This work has led to the delineation of 47 regional targets of which 8 have had first pass drilling. Four of these prospects returned positive results and have follow up drilling programs planned. An additional 3 prospects have first pass drill programs planned and have Native Title clearances ready for drilling. With the high quality targets already generated and 75% of the tenement area still to be mapped the high prospectively of the area is evident.

New Zealand Gold Project (North Island, New Zealand)
Exploration Update
Newcrest Mining Ltd. (Newcrest) withdrew from the LNJV farm-in agreement having spent approximately NZD$5million on ground while it completed the Phase 1 minimum work commitments. Newcrest has now elected not to proceed with the Phase 2 work commitments as the project no longer fits within Newcrest’s current corporate objectives.
During the farm-in exploration completed by LNJV in the past 2 years has fulfilled all of the farm-in minimum commitments and the main work programs completed consisted of:
-
Collection of over 1500 surface geochemical samples,
-
Extensive geological mapping along with geochemical sampling as required,
-
Completion of two geophysical programs for over 31 line km of IP,
-
Drilling of 13 diamond holes for over 5000m.
All results have been received with several low-grade gold zones across the project which show good prospectivity and provide several untested targets. Laneway has proposed 15 drillholes and two small soil programs for follow up work for 2017/2018 Budget year which is still being actively reviewed and refined. The Waitekauri permit EP53469 has been granted and Extension of Duration over a reduced area of 30km[2] for a 5 year period. EPM54216 is due for renewal in January 2018. Laneway believe significant targets still exist within this highly prospective mineralised corridor with several drill ready targets.

Current Project Area & Mineralised Trend

LANEWAY RESOURCES LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2017
Exploration Overview
During the 2 year term of the farm-in period Newcrest has solely funded almost NZD$5 million of exploration on the project during which time Laneway has managed all on ground work and also earned a management fee (7.5%). Work completed has included over 1,500 geochemical samples, 31km of IP geophysical surveys and 13 drill holes totaling over 5,000m of drilling.
There are still several drill ready target areas within the project area. The most exciting of these areas is the 500m long Jubilee trend which was historically mined around the turn of last century with recorded production of 1,300oz of bullion from 2,118tons of quartz, further reports state quartz veining up to 32 feet wide in the lower levels 200m below surface.
This area has only had two holes deeper than 200m drilled and as such has significant depth potential particularly when compared to the Maria vein within the Karangahake Goldfield which sits 7km directly along trend as shown below.

LANEWAY RESOURCES LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2017
Geochemical Sampling
Ridge & spur soil sampling and rock chipping throughout both EP53469 (Waitekauri) & EP54216 (Owharoa) was completed with over 1,500 samples collected. The soils were designed on a nominal 500m line spacing with 100m sample spacing as topography allowed. Results from surface sampling show several broad low level anomalies in the Waitekauri Valley within the NNE trending structural corridor which is host to the Jubilee, Grace Darling, Maoriland, Sovereign and Scotia Deposits. Geophysical Surveys
Follow up from the initial geochemical program included the decision to conduct two geophysical programs of pole–di-pole Induced Polarisation (IP) surveys. The first survey was designed on a 400m line spacing and the second on a 1,600m line spacing. A total of 31 line km of data, of which, 8 line km (two lines) was from Owharoa, was during the two programs. As part of the interpretation process historical IP survey data was reprocessed and merged with newly acquired data. The IP program confirmed the extension of the corridor of mineralisation from Golden Cross through to an area south of Karangahake (approx. 15km long). The program defined several anomalies which along with the geochemical and geological data were used to refine drill targets along this trend several of which have been drilled.
Diamond Drilling
The drilling commenced on the project in April 2016 and the current phase one drilling was paused in February 2017 with some weather delays during this period. All holes have encountered zones which explain the targets interpreted initially however gold results for these zones overall have been disappointing.

LANEWAY RESOURCES LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2017
Background on the Project Area
The project is located on the North Island of New Zealand in the Hauraki goldfield, within the mineralised corridor that is host to the historic Karangahake and Golden Cross gold-silver mines, and in the same district as Oceana Gold operating Waihi Mine. The Hauraki goldfield is host to approximately 50 low-sulphidation epithermal prospects and deposits, and has yielded in excess of 45 million ounces of gold and silver
Historic mining occurred in the Project area between 1860 and 1952, with workings reaching a depth of up to 140m from surface. There remains significant scope for down dip and strike extensions of this mineralisation along a >7 km long prospective corridor. There is also the potential to delineate near surface resources that may be amenable to standard open cut mining techniques.
The geology of the Hauraki goldfield consists of a block-faulted basement of Jurassic greywacke (Mania Hill Group) overlain by a thick sequence of andesite and lesser dacite (Coromandel Group), and rhyolite and ignimbrite (Whitianga Group). Based on known occurrences of gold-silver deposits in the goldfield, two epithermal gold-silver mineral deposit models, andesite-hosted and rhyolite-hosted, are considered the most prospective.
Andesite-hosted deposits comprise about 95% of past gold production. Gold and silver are localised in quartz veins that range up to 30m wide and approximately 800m long. Rhyolite-hosted deposits have produced less than 5% of the total historic gold production, but they have potential as low grade, large tonnage deposits. Gold and silver occur in sheeted and stockwork quartz veins, breccia pipes and disseminated in hydrothermally altered wall rocks, typical of hot springs type epithermal gold deposits.

Ashford Coking Coal JV Project (NSW)
The Ashford Coking Coal project is located approximately 60km north of Inverell (northern NSW) and comprises a 50/50 joint venture with Northern Energy Corporation, a 100% owned subsidiary of New Hope Corporation. Ashford is an advanced stage coking coal project with an identified resource. The aim is to progress towards a Mining Lease application over the resource area.
Quality test work has confirmed hard coking coal product equivalent to premium Bowen Basin coals. Review of coal quality data completed during the Quarter indicates a premium hard coking coal product could be produced from the project utilising a small mobile washing plant. Ongoing desktop studies are investigating the possibility of a small scale mining operation being started with low Capex following Mining Lease application and grant.

Geology
The Permian aged Ashford coal measures are expressed as a narrow (<10km) 80km long basin stretching from the Queensland border in the north to Inverell in the south. The Ashford coal measures unconformably overlie highly deformed late carboniferous sediments assigned to the Texas Beds. EL6234 overlies part of the outcrop of the Ashford coal measures which dip to the west at 15-35 degrees.
The Ashford seam ranges from 0.2m to 24.4m in thickness and makes up the principle resource within EL6234. The upper Bonshaw seam also has been intersected in a number of drill holes, however these holes indicate that this seam is non-persistant and is currently of no economic interest. A cross section that demonstrates the structural setting within the Ashford deposit is shown below:
==> picture [307 x 221] intentionally omitted <==
The geological database contains 156 drill holes, of which 139 were used for constructing the structural model. The majority of drill holes used in the calculation of the resource were drilled by the current joint venture partners since being granted tenure in 2005.

Remuneration Policy
The performance of the Group depends upon the quality of its directors and executives. To prosper, the Group must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled directors and executives.
The full Board of Directors is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the directors and the executive team. The Board assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of emoluments of such officers on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality board and executive team. Such officers are given the opportunity to receive their base emolument in a variety of forms including cash, equity and fringe benefits. It is intended that the manner of payments chosen will be optimal for the recipient without creating undue cost for the Group. Further details on the remuneration of directors and executives are set out in this Remuneration Report.
The Group aims to reward the executive directors and key management personnel with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Group. The Board’s policy is to align director and executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering long-term incentives.
In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive director and executive director and key management personnel remuneration is separate and distinct.
Non-Executive Director Remuneration
The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level that provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost that is acceptable to shareholders.
The Company’s specific policy for determining the nature and amount of emoluments of board members of the Company is as follows:
-
The Constitution of the Company provides that the non-executive directors are entitled to remuneration as determined by the Company in general meeting to be apportioned among them in such manner as the directors agree and, in default of agreement, equally. The aggregate remuneration currently determined by the Company is $200,000 per annum. Additionally, nonexecutive directors will be entitled to be reimbursed for properly incurred expenses.
-
If a non-executive director performs extra services, which in the opinion of the directors are outside the scope of the ordinary duties of the director, the Company may remunerate that director by payment of a fixed sum determined by the directors in addition to or instead of the remuneration referred to above. A non-executive director is entitled to be paid travelling and other expenses properly incurred by them in attending director's or general meetings of the Company or otherwise in connection with the business of the Company.
Executive Director and Key Management Personnel Remuneration
The Group aims to reward the executive directors and key management personnel with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Company so as to:
-
reward executives for company and individual performance against targets set by reference to appropriate benchmarks;
-
align the interests of executives with those of shareholders;
-
link reward with the strategic goals and performance of the Company; and
-
ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards.

-
performance based salary increases and/or bonuses; and/or
-
the issue of options
Employment Contracts
It is the Board’s policy that employment agreements are entered into with all executive directors, executives and employees. No current employment contracts contain early termination clauses. All non-executive directors have contracts of employment.
Stephen Bizzell is engaged as Executive Chairman. His agreement is a consultancy style agreement for the provision of services. Services are invoiced at a weekly rate of $2,320.
Paul Marshall is engaged as Company Secretary and CFO. His agreement is a consultancy style agreement for the provision of services. Services are invoiced at a weekly rate of $2,500.

The 2016 update includes drilling completed in 2014 and 2015 and also a high grade zone at Sherwood with an Indicated Mineral Resource of 89,000 tonnes @ 6.0 g/t (Table 2).
The global recoverable Mineral Resource in Table 1 is at a 0.5 g/t Au cut-off suitable for a large open pit operation.

LANEWAY RESOURCES LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 2017 Notes to the Financial Statements
1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
Introduction
Laneway Resources Limited is incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
Operations and principal activities
Principal activities comprise of mineral exploration.
Scope of financial statements
The consolidated financial statements consist of Laneway Resources Limited and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year ended 30 June 2017.
Currency
The financial report is presented in Australia dollars and rounded to the nearest one dollar.
Authorisation of financial report
The financial report was authorised for issue on 28 September 2017.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. Laneway Resources Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.
The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the consolidated entity in the preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.
Compliance with IFRS
The consolidated financial statements of Laneway Resources Limited group also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
Historical cost convention
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Australian Accounting Standards requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed below:
Key judgements – exploration & evaluation assets
The consolidated entity performs regular reviews on each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest. These reviews are based on detailed surveys and analysis of drilling results performed to balance date.
The Directors have assessed that for the exploration and evaluation assets recognised at 30 June 2017, the facts and circumstances do not suggest that the carrying amount of an asset may exceed its recoverable amount. In considering this the Directors have had regard to the facts and circumstances that indicate a need for impairment as noted in Accounting Standard AASB 6 “Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources”.
Going concern basis for accounting
The consolidated entity has a net deficiency of current assets at 30 June 2017 of $1,421,284 (30 June 2016: $398,440) and has incurred losses of $630,483 for the year ended 30 June 2017 (2016 loss: $708,156). These conditions give rise to a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the ability of the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern.
The ability of the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern is principally dependent upon one or more of the following:
34
LANEWAY RESOURCES LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 2017 Notes to the Financial Statements
-
Continuation of debt funding. The company has been advised that its Chairman will continue to support the company in the 2017 financial year until such time as it has raised further funds either by way of a capital raising, a sale of an interest in a project or by way of a corporate transaction;
-
Continued support of directors and key management personnel by way of deferring payment of amounts owing;
-
Proceeds from additional capital raisings by the company; and
-
The realisation of funds from the sale of certain assets.
As at the date of this report the directors are unable to confirm the success or otherwise of the asset sale process.
As a result of the ongoing support from a director of the company, the continued support of other directors and key management personnel, the current status of capital raisings, and the anticipated successful asset sales the directors believe the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate, and accordingly have prepared the financial report on this basis. The going concern basis presumes that funds will be available to finance future operations and that the realisation of assets and liabilities will occur in the normal course of business.
Should the consolidated entity be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the financial statements.
This financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts or classification of liabilities and appropriate disclosures that may be necessary should the consolidated entity be unable to continue as a going concern.
Principles of Consolidation
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity controls an entity when the consolidated entity is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the consolidated entity. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the consolidated entity.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between consolidated entity companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the consolidated entity.
Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and balance sheet respectively.
Joint Operations
The consolidated entity’s share of the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of joint operations are included in the appropriate items of the consolidated financial statements.
Foreign Currencies
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.
Exploration and Evaluation Assets
Costs carried forward
Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. Such expenditures comprise net direct costs and an appropriate portion of related overhead expenditure but does not include overheads or administration expenditure not having a specific nexus with a
35
LANEWAY RESOURCES LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 2017 Notes to the Financial Statements
particular 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 which permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves and active or significant operations in relation to the area are continuing.
Restoration costs
Restoration costs that are expected to be incurred are provided for as part of the cost of the exploration, evaluation, development, construction and production phases that give rise to the need for restoration. Accordingly, these costs are recognised gradually over the life of the facility as these phases occur. The costs include obligations relating to reclamation, waste site closure, plant closure and other costs associated with the restoration of the site. In determining the restoration obligations, the entity has assumed no significant changes will occur in the relevant Federal and State legislation in relation to restoration of such mines in the future.
Both for close down and restoration and for environmental clean-up costs, provision is made in the accounting period when the related disturbance occurs, based on the net present value of estimated future costs.
For close down and restoration costs, which include the dismantling and demolition of infrastructure, removal of residual materials and remediation of disturbed areas, movements in provision other than the amortisation of the discount, such as those resulting from changes in the cost estimates, lives of operations or discount rates, are capitalised into the carrying amount of development and amortised against future production.
Revenue Recognition
Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances and duties and taxes paid.
Interest revenue is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principle outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimate future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying value.
Taxes
Income taxes
The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on the current periods taxable income based on the notional income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to unused tax losses.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively enacted for each jurisdiction. The relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences to measure the deferred tax asset or liability. An exception is made for certain temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability. No deferred tax asset or liability is recognised in relation to these temporary differences if they arose in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity.
Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses, and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods or services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the assets or as part of the expense item as applicable, and except for receivables and payables which are stated inclusive of GST.
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. The net amount of GST recoverable from or payable to the taxation authority is
36
LANEWAY RESOURCES LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 2017 Notes to the Financial Statements
included as part of receivables or payables in the balance sheet. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from or payable to the taxation authority.
Leases
Leases are classified at their inception as either operating or finance leases based on the economic substance of the agreement so as to reflect the risks and benefits incidental to ownership.
Operating leases
The minimum lease payments of operating leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased item, are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis.
Finance leases
Leases which effectively transfer substantially all of the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item to the consolidated entity are capitalised at the present value of the minimum lease payments. A lease liability of equal value is also recognised. Minimum lease payments are allocated between interest expense and reduction of the lease liability with the interest expense calculated using the interest rate implicit in the lease and recognised directly in net profit.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits at call with financial institutions and other highly liquid investments with short periods to maturity which are readily convertible to cash on hand and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.
Receivables
All trade receivables are recognised at the amounts receivable as they are due for settlement no more than 30 days from the date of recognition.
Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. A provision of doubtful receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the consolidated entity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of the provision is the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. The amount of the provision is recognised in profit or loss.
The carrying amounts of the loans are reviewed at each balance date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the loan is impaired to its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the receivables carried at amortised cost is calculated as the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate.
Investments and Other Financial Assets
The consolidated entity classifies its investments in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its investments at initial recognition and, in the case of assets classified as held-to-maturity, reevaluates this designation at each reporting date.
(i) Financial Assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading which are acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term with the intention of making a profit. Derivatives are also categorised as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges.
(ii) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise when the consolidated entity provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of selling the receivable. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date which are classified as non-current assets. Such assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective rate interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit and loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.
37
LANEWAY RESOURCES LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 2017 Notes to the Financial Statements
(iii) Held-to-maturity investments
Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that the consolidated entity’s management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity.
(iv) Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets, comprising principally marketable equity securities, are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Regular purchases and sales of investments are recognised on trade-date – the date on which the consolidated entity commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value though profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the consolidated entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit and loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investment are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the ‘financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’ category, including interest and dividend income, are presented in profit or loss within other income or other expenses in the period in which they arise.
Changes in the fair value of monetary securities denominated in a foreign currency and classified as available-forsale are analysed between translation differences resulting from changes in amortised cost of the security and other changes, in the carrying amount of the security. The translation differences are recognised in profit and loss and other changes in carrying amount are recognised in equity. Changes in the fair value of other monetary and non-monetary securities classified as available-for-sale are recognised in equity.
When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised in equity are reclassified to profit or loss as gains and losses from investment securities.
The fair values of quoted investment are based on current bid prices. If the market for a financial asset is not active (and for unlisted securities), the consolidated entity established fair value by using valuation techniques. These include the use of recent arm’s length transactions, reference to other instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis, and option pricing models making maximum use of market inputs and relying as little as possible on entity-specific inputs.
The consolidated entity assesses at each balance date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of equity securities classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of a security below its cost is considered in determining whether the security is impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss – measured as the difference between the acquisition costs and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit and loss – is removed from equity and recognised in profit or loss.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Plant and Equipment
Any exploration plant and equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation, where depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives for the period the assets are put to productive use. Estimates of remaining useful lives are made on a regular basis for all assets, with annual reassessments for major items.
Payables
Liabilities for trade creditors and other amounts are carried at cost which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received. Interest, when charged by the lender, is recognised as an expense on an accruals basis. Trade account payables are usually settled on a 30 day basis.
Borrowings
All loans and convertible notes are initially measured at fair value net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan.
38
LANEWAY RESOURCES LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 2017 Notes to the Financial Statements
Contributed Equity
Issued and paid up capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Group. Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds received.
Forfeited partly paid shares that are held in trust pending disposal are disclosed as treasury shares.
Employee Benefits
(i) Wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and any vesting sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in provisions in respect of employees' services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and measured at the rates paid or payable.
(ii) Long service leave
The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national corporation bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
(iii) Share-based payments
The fair value of options granted is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options. The fair value at grant date is independently determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the riskfree interest rate for the term of the option.
The fair value of the options granted excludes the impact of any non-market vesting conditions (for example, profitability and sales growth targets). Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. At each balance sheet date, the entity revises its estimate of the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. The employee benefit expense recognised each period takes into account the most recent estimate.
(iv) Employee benefit on-costs
Employee benefit on-costs, including payroll tax, are recognised and included in employee benefit liabilities and costs when the employee benefits to which they relate are recognised as liabilities.
Loss per Share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net profit after income tax attributable to equity holders of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of the ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.
39
LANEWAY RESOURCES LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 2017 Notes to the Financial Statements
Parent entity financial information
The financial information for the parent entity, Laneway Resources Limited, disclosed in note 19 has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements, except as set out below.
(i) Investments in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the individual financial statements of the parent entity.
(ii) Tax Consolidation Legislation
Laneway Resources Limited and its wholly owned Australian subsidiaries entered the tax consolidation regime with effect from 1 July 2004. As a consequence the subsidiaries are no longer subject to income tax as separate entities unless the parent entity is in default of its obligations, a default is probable, or the tax amounts relate to taxable income incurred prior to the implementation of the tax consolidation regime. The tax sharing agreement will limit potential liabilities of the subsidiary entities, should Laneway Resources Limited be in default of its obligations. Amounts payable or receivable under such a tax sharing agreement with the parent entity will be recognised in accordance with the terms and conditions of the agreement as tax related amounts receivable or payable. The impact on the income tax expense and results of Laneway Resources Limited is immaterial because of the current tax position of the Group.
New Accounting Standards and Interpretations
The Consolidated Entity adopted all new Accounting Standards and Interpretations effective for the year ended 30 June 2017. There were no material impacts on the financial statements of the Consolidated Entity as a result of adopting these standards.
The following are new accounting standards issued but not yet effective at 1 July 2016
AASB 9 Financial Instruments
This standard and its consequential amendments are currently applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. This standard introduces new classification and measurement models for financial assets, using a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortised cost or fair value. To be classified and measured at amortised cost, assets must satisfy the business model test for managing the financial assets and have certain contractual cash flow characteristics. All other financial instrument assets are to be classified and measured at fair value. This standard allows an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on equity instruments (that are not held-for-trading) in other comprehensive income, with dividends as a return on these investments being recognised in profit or loss. In addition, those equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income would no longer have to apply any impairment requirements nor would there be any 'recycling' of gains or losses through profit or loss on disposal. The accounting for financial liabilities continues to be classified and measured in accordance with AASB 139, with one exception, being that the portion of a change of fair value relating to the entity's own credit risk is to be presented in other comprehensive income unless it would create an accounting mismatch. The Consolidated Entity has not yet evaluated the impact adoption of this standard will have.
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
This standard and its consequential amendments are currently applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. This standard requires recognised 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. This means that revenue will be recognised when control of goods or services is transferred, rather than on transfer of risks and rewards as is currently the case under IAS 18 Revenue. The Consolidated Entity has not yet evaluated the impact adoption of this standard will have.
AASB16 Leases
This standard and its consequential amendments are currently applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. When effective, this standard will replace the current accounting requirements applicable to leases in AASB117 Leases and related interpretations. AASB16 introduces a single lessee accounting model that eliminates the requirement for leases to be classified as operating or finance leases. This means that for all leases, a right-to-use asset and a liability will be recognised, with the right-to-use asset being depreciated and the liability being unwound in principal and interest components over the life of the lease. The Consolidated Entity has not yet evaluated the impact adoption of this standard will have.
There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that would be expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

18. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
(a) General objectives, policies and processes
In common with all other businesses, the consolidated entity is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. This note describes the consolidated entity’s objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them. There have been no substantive changes in the consolidated entity’s exposure to financial instrument risks, its objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks or the methods used to measure them from previous periods unless otherwise stated in this note. The consolidated entity’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, accounts receivable and payable and a loan from a director related entity.
The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the consolidated entity’s risk management objectives and policies and, whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them, it has delegated the authority for designing and operating processes that ensure the effective implementation of the objectives and policies to the consolidated entity’s executive management. The consolidated entity's risk management policies and objectives are therefore designed to minimise the potential impacts of these risks on the results of the consolidated entity where such impacts may be material.
(b) Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that the other party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge their obligation resulting in the Group incurring a financial loss. This usually occurs when debtors fail to settle their obligations owing to the Group. 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 balance sheet and notes to the financial statements. Credit risk is reviewed regularly by the Board. It arises from exposure to customers as well as through deposits with financial institutions.
(c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the consolidated entity may encounter difficulties raising funds to meet financial obligations as they fall due. Liquidity risk is reviewed regularly by the Board.
The consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows. At 30 June 2017 the Group has a loan facility from a director related entity totalling $2,000,000 of which $368,620 (2016 - $nil) has been drawn upon as at 30 June 2016. The consolidated entity has from time to time been required to use the loan facilities available in order to be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.

18. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
(d) Market Risk
Market risk arises from the use of interest bearing, tradable and foreign currency financial instruments. It is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in interest rates (interest rate risk), foreign exchange rates (currency risk) or other market factors (other price risk).
(i) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is managed with a mixture of fixed and floating rate debt. For further details on interest rate risk refer to the tables below:
| 2017 Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Total financial assets Financial liabilities Trade and other payables Borrowings Total financial liabilities 2016 Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents Total financial assets Financial liabilities Trade and other payables Lease and hire purchase Total financial liabilities |

|---|---|
The group does not have interest rate risk as the financial instruments are either non-interest bearing or have fixed rates.
This analysis assumes all other variables remain constant.
(ii) Currency Risk
The group does not have any material currency risk exposure under financial instruments entered into by the group. The company held New Zealand Dollars of $2,680 (2016 - $633,801) at the end of the period. These funds are to be used to meet expenditures to be incurred in the near term in New Zealand and as such there is no currency risk associated with the NZD held at the period end.
(iii) Other Price Risk
The group does not have any material other price risk exposures under financial instruments entered into by the group.
(e) Fair Values
The fair values of trade and other receivables, security deposits, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, interest bearing loans and borrowings and trade and other payables approximate their carrying value.

Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report which describes the events and/or conditions which give rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matter described in the Material uncertainty related to going concern section , we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
Carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets
| Key audit matter | How the matter was addressed in our audit |
| Refer to note 3 in the financial report The Group carries exploration and evaluation assets totalling $10,332,978 as at 30 June 2017 in relation to the application of the Group’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation assets. The recoverability of exploration and evaluation asset is a key audit matter due to: The significance of the total balance (98% of total assets); and The level of procedures undertaken to evaluate management’s application of the requirements of AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources (‘AASB 6’) in light of any indicators of impairment that may be present. |
Our procedures included, but were not limited to the following: Obtaining evidence that the Group has valid rights to explore in the areas represented by the capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure by obtaining supporting documentation such as license agreements and also considering whether the Group maintains the tenements in good standing Making enquiries of management with respect to the status of ongoing exploration programs in the respective areas of interest and assessing the Group's cashflow budget for the level of budgeted spend on exploration projects and held discussions with directors of the Group as to their intentions and strategy Enquiring of management, reviewing ASX announcements and reviewing directors' minutes to ensure that the Group had not decided to discontinue activities in any applicable areas of interest and to assess whether there are any other facts or circumstances that existed to indicate impairment testing was required. |
