Your Directors submit the financial report of the Group for the half year ended 31 December 2020. In order to comply with the provisions of the Corporations Act 2001, the Directors report as follows.

The Directors of the Company during or since the end of the interim period (unless otherwise stated) are:

John Richards Non-Executive Chairman
Bruce McFadzean Managing Director
Bruce Griffin Commercial Director
David Archer Non-Executive Director
Will Burbury Non-Executive Director
Ian Macliver Non-Executive Director

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

During the half year, the Company has continued to advance development options on its world-class Thunderbird Mineral Sands Project.

In August 2020, the Company announced that it had entered into a Non-Binding Term Sheet with Yangang (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd’s wholly owned subsidiary YGH Australia Investment Pty Ltd (“Yansteel”) to form a Joint Venture to develop the Thunderbird Mineral Sands Project. Yansteel will invest A$130.1m in equity to earn a 50% interest in the Project. The formation of the Yansteel and Sheffield Joint Venture was subject to agreement and execution of formal documentation and other customary conditions precedent for a transaction of this nature.

Binding documentation was executed subsequent to the end of the December 2020 half year. Satisfaction of the remaining conditions precedent to finalise the formation of the joint venture are ongoing with a Final Investment Decision (“FID”) targeted during 2021.

A trial mining pit was excavated during the half year to enable full scale ore mining via a dozer push method through the full thickness of the high grade “T2” ore zone. The trial mining pit confirmed that ore mining via a dozer push method is viable and practical over a range of ground and weather conditions and confirmed assumptions associated with mining of waste materials.

A 25 tonne bulk sample collected from dozer pushed ore material shall enable final design criteria to be determined for the ore feed preparation plant and additional metallurgical test work.

The Company undertook field mapping and geotechnical test work from the trial mining pit to inform final pit wall slope design angles. Ongoing monitoring of the pit wall slopes is scheduled over the wet season. A gravel test program was undertaken on the Thunderbird Mining Lease (M04/459) to identify construction materials for road construction and project development infrastructure requirements.

THUNDERBIRD MINERAL SANDS PROJECT

A work program to enable completion of a Bankable Feasibility Study (“BFS”) on a revised project scope and flowsheet commenced during the half year. The preferred flowsheet is designed to produce a zircon rich non-magnetic concentrate and LTR ilmenite. Upon formation of the joint venture, an agreed project development strategy will be determined with the work programs enabling the prompt completion of a BFS and the project financing process.

Engineering

During the half year, work continued on the development of the preferred flowsheet. This flowsheet reintroduces the Low Temperature Roast (“LTR”) and simplifies the ilmenite producing circuit as well as removing the zircon-related Mineral Separation Plant (“MSP”) components. Existing raw ore and partly processed samples were used to complete test work based on the flowsheet. Existing Heavy Mineral Concentrate (“HMC”) samples were used to complete zircon rich non-magnetic concentrate flowsheet design parameters and produce samples for existing and new offtake partners. Magnetic products were processed through the simplified ilmenite process circuit and then processed to produce LTR

ilmenite. The results of the test work were in line with assumptions made for the agreed flowsheet and in line with expectations from previous BFS standard test work.

Trial Mining Program

The Company planned and safely executed a trial mining program at the Thunderbird Mineral Sands Project utilising local contractor Kimberley Quarries Pty Ltd. The trial mining open pit was located to intersect all materials expected to be encountered during mining, including waste cover material, low grade ore material from the “T1” domain and high grade ore material from the “T2” domain from the hanging wall to the footwall of the orebody. The trial mining open pit planned to excavate c.220kt of material containing 120kt of ore and 100kt of waste, and to be 25m deep and approximately 100m long and 80m wide at the surface and with 40° walls angles.

The trial mining pit was excavated to a depth of 30 metres to observe full scale ore mining utilising the dozer push method through the full thickness of the high grade “T2” ore zone. Waste material was removed by excavator and truck operations with some zones of harder and competent waste materials requiring ripping by dozer to enable excavation. Mining operations were able to continue throughout inclement periods with good heavy vehicle trafficability in waste and ore materials, confirming mining and haulage productivity assumptions in waste and ore materials. Geotechnical and pit slope information to inform final pit design parameters was collected, with the final pit walls exhibiting good stability.

A 25 tonne bulk sample was collected from dozer pushed ore material to enable final design criteria to be determined for the ore feed preparation plant and additional metallurgical test work. The bulk ore sample was collected from regular flitches through the orebody and were individual fed into a screening plant to determine oversize variability within the high-grade “T2” ore zone. Results are to be analysed in conjunction with planned process outcomes.

Access to site and accommodation was established to support the trial mining and other activities including a fire management program and general village maintenance was undertaken. Preparation and asset protection activities for the Kimberley wet season were carried out, with the accommodation village and site locked down at the conclusion of the trial mining program.

Aboriginal Engagement

Prior to the commencement of trial mining, Traditional Owners’ heritage monitors and Company rangers conducted pre and post land clearing artefact checks and Greater Bilby surveys of the area. No artefacts or evidence of Greater Bilby presence or activity was found in the trial mining area.

Heritage monitors and Company rangers continued final artefact checks and Greater Bilby surveys over land where project infrastructure will be constructed. Evidence of Greater Bilby activity was found in some of the surveyed areas. The Greater Bilby Disturbance Protocols outlined in Thunderbird’s Terrestrial Fauna Environmental Management Plan, approved by the Federal Government, are followed prior to land clearing.

Sustainability

The Company submitted the State and Federal annual compliance reporting related to environmental project approvals. The operation remains in compliance with approved project conditions.

Marketing and Offtake

During the half year, fresh samples of a zircon rich concentrate were dispatched to existing offtake groups for independent review and assessment. Following assessment, feedback from the offtake groups was positive.

As part of diversifying product offtake, discussions have commenced with several potential additional offtake groups. Samples are being prepared for these groups to independently review and assess.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the global economy. Despite this, the mineral sands and associated industries have performed relatively well. China, as a major consumer of mineral sands feedstocks, continued to bounce back strongly in Q3 of 2020 and demand has been robust. Mineral sands feedstock demand in the Americas rebounded during the half year, however demand in India and Europe has not been as sound.

The titanium feedstock market has continued to tighten, especially in China where pricing for feedstocks, in particular sulfate ilmenite, has increased.

Zircon demand has not held up as well as titanium feedstock and supply has adjusted to balance weaker demand. China is the best performing market for zircon consuming industries, and although not yet at full capacity, it is operating at higher levels than in the first half of 2020. Zircon pricing remains in the range of US$1,350 – US$1,500 per tonne.

Mid to long range forecasts for both zircon and ilmenite markets remain unchanged. It is anticipated that there will be significant supply constraints in the market over the coming years.

Exploration

Eneabba & McCalls Mineral Sands Project

During the reporting period, the Group carried out technical reports upon both the Eneabba and McCalls Mineral Sand Projects.

Derby East Construction Sand Project

The Derby East Project contains a large sand target with the Group is investigating for the potential to yield commercial quantities of sand suitable for end-use construction purposes. The Project is located 24k east of the Port of Derby. A technical report was completed during the period.

CORPORATE ACTIVITIES

At the end of the half year, the Group held $12.9m in cash and incurred a loss of $1.5m (2019: $5.9m loss).

The Company welcomed Yansteel as a significant shareholder following the issue of 34,259,421 fully paid ordinary shares in Sheffield to Yansteel via a share placement for a total consideration of $A12.9m.

1The Ore Reserves are presented with in-situ HM grade, and mineral assemblage. Tonnes and grades have been rounded to reflect the relative accuracy and confidence level of the estimate, thus the sum of columns may not equal. This Ore Reserve reported for the Dampier Project was prepared and first disclosed under the JORC Code (2012) in the announcement 31 July 2019 Titled “Thunderbird 10% Ore Reserve Increase”. The Ore Reserve is reported to a design overburden surface with appropriate consideration for modifying factors, costs, mineral assemblage, process recoveries and product pricing

2.Ore Reserve is a sub-set of Mineral Resource

3Total HM is within the 38µm to 1mm size fraction and reported as a percentage of the total material, slimes is the -38µm fraction and oversize is the +1mm fraction.

4Tonnes and grades have been rounded to reflect the relative accuracy and confidence level of the estimate, thus the sum of columns may not equal.

5The in-situ assemblage grade is determined by multiplying the percentage of HM by the percentage of each valuable heavy mineral within the heavy mineral assemblage at the resource block model scale.

6Mineral Assemblage is reported as a percentage of HM Grade, it is derived by dividing the in-situ grade by the HM grade.

7 The contained in-situ tonnes derived from HM and material tonnes from information in the Mineral Resource tables

The Ore Reserve estimate was prepared by Entech Pty Ltd, an experienced and prominent mining engineering consultancy with appropriate mineral sands experience in accordance with the JORC Code (2012 Edition). The Ore Reserve was estimated using all available geological and relevant drill hole and assay data, including mineralogical sampling and test work on mineral recoveries and final product qualities. The Company is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the Ore Reserve estimate and confirms that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimate continue to apply and have not materially changed. The Ore Reserve estimate is based on the current, July 2016 Thunderbird Mineral Resource estimate, announced to the ASX on 5 July 2016. Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources were converted too Proved and Probable Ore Reserves respectively, subject to mine design, modifying factors and economic evaluation.

1 Night Train: The Mineral Resource estimate was prepared by Optiro Pty Ltd and first disclosed under the JORC Code (2012) refer to ASX announcement 31 January 2019 for further details including Table 1. The Mineral Resource reported above 1.2% heavy mineral (HM) cut-off is inclusive of (not additional to) the Mineral Resource reported above 2.0% HM cut-off. Thunderbird: The Mineral Resource estimate was prepared by Optiro Pty Ltd and first disclosed under the JORC Code (2012) refer to ASX announcement 5 July 2016 for further details including Table 1. The Dampier Project Mineral Resources are reported inclusive of (not additional to) Ore Reserves. The Mineral Resource reported above 3.0% HM cut-off is inclusive of (not additional to) the Mineral Resource reported above 7.5% HM cut-off.

2Total HM is within the 38µm to 1mm size fraction and reported as a percentage of the total material, slimes is the -38µm fraction and oversize is the +1mm fraction.

3Tonnes and grades have been rounded to reflect the relative accuracy and confidence level of the estimate, thus the sum of columns may not equal.

4 Night Train: Estimates of Mineral Assemblage are presented as percentages of the Heavy Mineral (HM) component of the deposit, as determined by magnetic separation, QEMSCAN[TM] and XRF for one of 12 composite samples. Magnetic fractions were analysed by QEMSCAN[TM] for mineral determination as follows: Ilmenite: 40-70% TiO2 >90% Liberation; leucoxene: 70-90% TiO2 >90% Liberation; High titanium leucoxene (HiTi leucoxene) and rutile 90% TiO2 >90% Liberation, and zircon: 66.7% ZrO2+HfO2 >90% Liberation. The non-magnetic fraction was submitted for XRF analysis and minerals determined as follows: zircon: ZrO2+HfO2/0.667 and HiTi leucoxene: TiO2/0.94. HM assemblage determination was by the QEMSCAN[TM] process for 11 of 12 composite samples which uses observed mass and chemistry to classify particles according to their average chemistry, and then report mineral abundance by dominant % mass in particle. For the TiO2 minerals the following breakpoints were used to distinguish between Ilmenite 40% to 70% TiO2, leucoxene 70% to 90% TiO2, HiTi leucoxene and rutile > 90%, Screening of the heavy mineral was not required. Thunderbird: estimates of Mineral Assemblage are presented as percentages of the HM component of the deposit, as determined by magnetic separation, QEMSCAN[TM] and XRF. Magnetic fractions were analysed by QEMSCAN[TM] for mineral determination as follows: Ilmenite: 40-70% TiO2 >90% Liberation; leucoxene: 70-94% TiO2 >90% Liberation; HiTi leucoxene: >94% TiO2 >90% Liberation; and zircon: 66.7% ZrO2+HfO2 >90% Liberation. The non-magnetic fraction was submitted for XRF analysis and minerals determined as follows: zircon: ZrO2+HfO2/0.667 and HiTi leucoxene: TiO2/0.94.

5In-situ assemblage grade is determined by multiplying the percentage of HM by the percentage of each valuable heavy mineral within the heavy mineral assemblage at the resource block model scale.

1 Night Train: The Mineral Resource estimate was prepared by Optiro Pty Ltd and first disclosed under the JORC Code (2012) refer to ASX announcement 31 January 2019 for further details including Table 1. The Night Train Mineral Resource reported above 1.2% heavy mineral (HM) cut-off is inclusive of (not additional to) the Mineral Resource reported above 2.0% HM cut-off. Thunderbird: The Mineral Resource estimate was prepared by Optiro Pty Ltd and first disclosed under the JORC Code (2012) refer to ASX announcement 5 July 2016 for further details including Table 1. The Dampier Project Mineral Resources are reported inclusive of (not additional to) Ore Reserves. Thunderbird: The Mineral Resource reported above 3.0% HM cut-off is inclusive of (not additional to) the Mineral Resource reported above 7.5% HM cut-off.

2 Total HM is within the 38µm to 1mm size fraction and reported as a percentage of the total material, slimes is the -38µm fraction and oversize is the +1mm fraction.

3 Tonnes and grades have been rounded to reflect the relative accuracy and confidence level of the estimate, thus the sum of columns may not equal.

4 Night Train: Estimates of Mineral Assemblage are presented as percentages of the HM component of the deposit, as determined by magnetic separation, QEMSCANTM and XRF for one of 12 composite samples. Magnetic fractions were analysed by QEMSCAN[TM] for mineral determination as follows: Ilmenite: 40-70% TiO2 >90% Liberation; leucoxene: 70-90% TiO2 >90% Liberation; High titanium leucoxene (HiTi leucoxene) and rutile 90% TiO2 >90% Liberation, and zircon: 66.7% ZrO2+HfO2 >90% Liberation. The non-magnetic fraction was submitted for XRF analysis and minerals determined as follows: zircon: ZrO2+HfO2/0.667 and HiTi leucoxene: TiO2/0.94. HM assemblage determination- was by the QEMSCAN[TM] process for 11 of 12 composite samples which uses observed mass and chemistry to classify particles according to their average chemistry, and then report mineral abundance by dominant % mass in particle. For the TiO2 minerals the following breakpoints were used to distinguish between Ilmenite 40% to 70% TiO2, Leucoxene 70% to 90% TiO2, HiTi leucoxene and rutile > 90%, Screening of the heavy mineral was not required. Thunderbird: estimates of Mineral Assemblage are presented as percentages of the HM component of the deposit, as determined by magnetic separation, QEMSCAN[TM] and XRF. Magnetic fractions were analysed by QEMSCAN[TM] for mineral determination as follows: Ilmenite: 40-70% TiO2 >90% Liberation; leucoxene: 7094% TiO2 >90% Liberation; HiTi leucoxene: >94% TiO2 >90% Liberation; and zircon: 66.7% ZrO2+HfO2 >90% Liberation. The non-magnetic fraction was submitted for XRF analysis and minerals determined as follows: zircon: ZrO2+HfO2/0.667 and HiTi leucoxene: TiO2/0.94.

5 HiTi leucoxene and rutile (%) combined for Night Train at a >90% TiO2 (as one assemblage sample utilised=> 90% rutile and HiTi leucoxene), HiTi leucoxene for Thunderbird > 94% TiO2

1The Mineral Resource estimates were prepared by Optiro Pty Ltd and first disclosed under the JORC Code (2012) refer 03 October 2018 ASX announcement for Yandanooka, Durack, Drummond Crossing, West Mine North and Ellengail. Refer to December 2017 Quarterly Activities Report for Robbs Cross and Thomson deposits for further details

2All tonnages and grades have been rounded to reflect the relative uncertainty of the estimate, thus the sums of columns may not equal.

3Total heavy mineral (HM) %: Samples from 1989 and 1996 (Drummond Crossing, Ellengail and West Mine North) were analysed using a -75 µm slimes / +2 mm oversize screen. Separation of HM% was by heavy liquid TBE (density 2.84 g/ml) from the -710µm+75µm fraction.

4Total HM %: RGC samples from 1998 and Iluka samples (Drummond Crossing, Durack, Ellengail, West Mine North and Yandanooka) were analysed using a -53 µm slimes / +2 mm oversize screen. Separation of total HM% was by heavy liquid TBE (density 2.90 g/ml) from the -710µm+53µm fraction.

5Total HM %: Samples from Robbs Cross and Thomson analysed by Diamantina Laboratories in Perth using a -45 µm slimes / +1 mm oversize screen (method DIA_HLS_45µm_1mm). Separation of total HM% was by heavy liquid TBE (density 2.96g/ml) from the -45 µm+1mm fraction.

6Total HM %: Samples from Drummond Crossing, Durack, West Mine North and Yandanooka were analysed by Western Geolabs in Perth using a -53 µm slimes / +1 mm oversize screen. Separation of total HM% was by heavy liquid TBE (density 2.96 g/ml) from the +53µm-1mm fraction.

7Reported below an upper cut-off grade of 35% slimes.

8Estimates of mineral assemblage are presented as percentages of the total HM component of the deposit, as determined by QEMSCANTM analysis. For the TiO2 minerals specific breakpoints are used to distinguish between rutile (>95% TiO2), leucoxene (85-95% TiO2) and ilmenite (<55-85% TiO2).

9At West Mine North and Ellengail mineral assemblage data determined by Iluka using Method 4 (HM concentrate is separated into magnetics and non-magnetics) was used with the Sheffield QEMSCAN[TM] data

10At Ellengail mineral assemblage data determined by Iluka using Method 3 (magnetic separation and XRF) was used with the Sheffield QEMSCANTM data and Iluka Method 4

11The in-situ assemblage grade is determined by multiplying the percentage of HM by the percentage of each valuable heavy mineral within the heavy mineral assemblage at the resource block model scale.

FORWARD LOOKING AND CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

The contents of this report reflect various technical and economic conditions at the time of writing. Given the nature of the resources industry, these conditions can change significantly over relatively short periods of time. Consequently, actual results may vary from those contained in this report.

Some statements in this report regarding estimates or future events are forward-looking statements. They include indications of, and guidance on, future earnings, cash flow, costs and financial performance. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements preceded by words such as “planned”, “expected”, “projected”, “estimated”, “may”, “scheduled”, “intends”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “potential”, "predict", "foresee", "proposed", "aim", "target", "opportunity", “could”, “nominal”, “conceptual” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements, opinions and estimates included in this report are based on assumptions and contingencies which are subject to change without notice, as are statements about market and industry trends, which are based on interpretations of current market conditions. Forward-looking statements are provided as a general guide only and should not be relied on as a guarantee of future performance. Forward-looking statements may be affected by a range of variables that could cause actual results to differ from estimated results and may cause the Company’s actual performance and financial results in future periods to materially differ from any projections of future performance or results expressed or implied by such forwardlooking statements. So there can be no assurance that actual outcomes will not materially differ from these forwardlooking statements.

SHEFFIELD RESOURCES LIMITED ACN 125 811 083 Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the Half Year Ended 31 December 2020

==> picture [92 x 60] intentionally omitted <==

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Statement of compliance

The half year consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, applicable accounting standards including AASB 134 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’, Accounting Interpretations and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’). Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’.

This condensed half year financial report does not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Therefore, it cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and cash flows of the Group as in the full financial report.

It is recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2020 and any public announcements made by Sheffield Resources Limited during the half year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001 and the ASX Listing Rules.

Basis of preparation

The half year report has been prepared on a historical cost basis. Cost is based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets. The company is domiciled in Australia and all amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.

For the purpose of preparing the interim report, the half year has been treated as a discrete reporting period.

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period.

Significant accounting judgments and key estimates

The preparation of half year financial report requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Except as described below, in preparing this half year financial report, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial report for the year ended 30 June 2020.

Accounting policies and method of computation

The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Adoption of new and revised standards

In the period ended 31 December 2020, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Group and effective for the current reporting period. As a result of this review, the Directors have determined that there is no material impact of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Group and, therefore, no material change is necessary to Group accounting policies.

The Directors have also reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted for the period ended 31 December 2020. As a result of this review the Directors have determined that there is no material impact of the Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted to the Group and, therefore, no change is necessary to Group accounting policies.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

To the members of Sheffield Resources Limited

Report on the Condensed Half-Year Financial Report

Conclusion

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Sheffield Resources Limited (“the company”) which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration, for the Group comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year end or from time to time during the halfyear.

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Sheffield Resources Limited does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • (a) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • (b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Basis for conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity . Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of the financial report section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

Responsibility of the directors for the financial report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year 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 half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibility for the review of the financial report

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .
