Stellar Resources Limited Review of operations 30 June 2020
==> picture [61 x 35] intentionally omitted <==
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
This year has been one of transition for Stellar. After completing a Scoping Study on our Flagship Heemskirk Tin Project in October 2019 which showed attractive economics for the project and that it is the second highest grade undeveloped tin project globally, we have unfortunately had to put further advancement of our tin projects in Tasmania on hold until markets improve sufficiently to raise further funding for our tin projects. Recently, leveraging off its base in and knowledge of Tasmania, has applied 10 Exploration Licenses covering a large area in North East Tasmania which is highly prospective for gold. Subject to the grant of these Exploration Licenses which is expected early in 2021, gold exploration will be the Companies short term focus until tin prices improve sufficiently to fund and continue to advance the Heemskirk Tin Project. Importantly the NE Tasmania Gold Exploration License applications have enabled Stellar to raise ~$2.1M to advance its projects, with the focus next year being on gold exploration.
Key Achievements
NE Tasmania Gold Exploration License Applications
- 10 first-in-time Exploration License Applications registered post year-end on 9 September 2020 covering an area of 2,295 km2 in North East Tasmania which is highly prospective for Victorian-style and IRGS style gold exploration and contains ~76 recorded historic gold occurrences
Tin Projects (West Coast of Tasmania)
-
Heemskirk Tin Project Scoping Study completed in October 2019 confirming attractive economics for an initial 350,000 tpa project
-
Re-Development of the Mount Razorback Mine identified as a potential source of early tin production and cash flow for Stellar.
-
The Company maintains a positive medium-term outlook on tin demand and prices improving with strengthening tin prices from ~US$15,000/t to over US$18,000/t this CY being encouraging. Stellar’s tin projects are being maintained in good standing until tin prices improve sufficiently to fund and continue to advance the Heemskirk Tin Project.
-
The Company has engaged in ongoing discussions with several large corporates during the year regarding investment in the Heemskirk Tin Project as an alternative pathway to advancing the project.

NORTH EAST TASMANIA GOLD EXPLOTATION
Exploration Licence Applications
10 first-in-time Exploration License Applications (ELA’s) in North East Tasmania by Stellar’s wholly owned subsidiary, Tarcoola Iron Pty Ltd were registered by Mineral Resources Tasmania (MRT) post year-end on 9 September 2020.
==> picture [539 x 366] intentionally omitted <==
Stellar ELA’s, Mineral Occurrences and Existing Licences
The 10 ELA’s cover a large combined area (2,295 km2) in NE Tasmania which is highly prospective for Victorian-style Orogenic Gold and for Intrusive Related Gold Systems (IRGS) with ~76 historic gold occurrences recorded within the ELA areas.
NE Tasmania – A continuation of the Victorian Western Lachlan Fold Belt
Gold deposits in North East Tasmania lie within a continuation of the Western Lachlan Fold Belt in Victoria – one of the world’s largest orogenic gold provinces. The Western Lachlan Fold Belt in Victoria hosts the >3 MOz Fosterville Mine, other Tier 1 goldfields including Bendigo, Ballarat, Stawell, Walhalla and Woods Point and has produced >80 MOz gold. Victoria has 13 goldfields that have each produced over 1 MOz gold with Bendigo (22 MOz) being the largest of these. In Victoria, the Western Lachlan Fold Belt is divided into the Stawell, Bendigo and Melbourne structural zones. The eastern most Melbourne Zone extends southwards across Bass Straight into NE Tasmania. More specifically, the gold rich Walhalla-Woods Point belt in the eastern part of the Melbourne Zone, aligns well with NE Tasmania and Stellar’s ELA areas.

NE Tasmania hosts the Beaconsfield Mine (2.3 MOz), New Golden Gate Mine (0.3 MOz) and the Lefroy Goldfield (0.2MOz), along with hundreds of smaller historic gold mines and occurrences. Just like their equivalent Victorian gold deposits, gold deposits in NE Tasmania are orogenic gold deposits formed in similar aged Ordovician to Devonian turbiditic sediments, known as the Mathinna Super-Group in NE Tasmania. The Mathinna Super-Group sediments in NE Tasmania were also deformed and metamorphosed during the Lachlan Orogen with gold mineralization being associated with late stage regional deformation and being commonly associated with proximal granitoid intrusions. Most gold in NE Tasmania is formed within quartz veins which occupy dilational zones along large scale faults related to folding and deformation occurring during the Lachlan Orogen. The location and geometry of gold lodes in North East Tasmania, as is the case in Victoria, is influenced by the presence of regional structures and by rheological contrasts between sedimentary rock units. NE Tasmania also contains deposits where gold occurs as veins and in stockworks in faults and Intrusive Related Gold Style (IRGS) deposits.

Proposed Gold Exploration Program
Processing of the Stellar’s ELA’s by Mineral Resources Tasmania (MRT) is expected to take 3 to 6 months before Exploration Licenses can be granted, subject to MRT’s approval.
Subject to grant of the Exploration Licenses, Stellar expects to commence exploration in early 2021. An exploration program for the first 2 years has been outlined with Year 1 focusing on historical data capture and review, reprocessing of geophysical data, mapping, soil, rock chip and stream sampling programs to generate drill targets which will be drilled during year 2.

Stellar Resources Limited Review of operations 30 June 2020
==> picture [61 x 35] intentionally omitted <==
Overview
Stellar’s 100% owned tin projects have an enviable location within the well-established mining district on the West Coast of Tasmania with a competitive market for services, mining and processing inputs and labour, access to nearby water and power, and to the port of Burnie 150km to the north for export of concentrate. Stellar’s flagship Heemskirk Tin Project is just 18km to the southwest of the Renison tin mine, the largest and most productive tin mine in Australia. In addition to the Heemskirk Tin Project, Stellar owns a portfolio of nearby satellite tin projects and exploration licenses including the St Dizier deposit, the Mount Razorback historic mine and the Montana Flats and Mount Razorback Exploration licenses which contain a number of historic silver-lead-zinc deposits with associated tin mineralization.

Tin Resources
Heemskirk includes 4 nearby deposits; Severn, Queen Hill, Montana and Oonah which together have a Total Mineral Resource of 6.6 Mt @ 1.1% Sn, of which 2.12 Mt is in the Indicated Mineral Resource Category and 4.48Mt is in the Inferred Mineral Resource Category. Heemskirk is the second highest grade undeveloped tin deposit globally and is in the top 3 tin projects in the global development queue.
In addition, the St Dizier Tin deposit has a Total Mineral Resource of 2.26Mt @ 0.61% Sn of which 1.20 Mt in the Indicated Mineral Resource Category and 1.06 Mt is in the Inferred Mineral Resource Category.
Heemskirk Tin Project Scoping Study
In October 2019, Stellar announced the results of its Heemskirk Tin Project Scoping Study based on development of an underground mine, processing plant, tailings storage facility and surface infrastructure to mine ~ 350ktpa ore at a LOM head grade of ~ 0.95% tin from the Queen Hill and Severn tin deposits (2 of the 4 Heemskirk deposits) over a 10 year mine-life. The project also includes open-pit mining of the St Dizier satellite tin deposit and trucking of ore to the Heemskirk processing plant during year 11 of the mine plan. The processing plant is expected to produce ~ 4,500 tpa of concentrate containing ~ 2,200tpa of tin. As in the case of the neighbouring Renison tin mine, the plan calls for trucking of concentrate 150km to the north via a sealed road to the Port of Burnie for export to smelters in Asia.
The Scoping Study confirmed the Heemskirk Tin Project has attractive economics - with a low pre-production capital base of A$57m, the Heemskirk Tin Project generates a pre-tax NPV10% of approximately A$83m (post-tax NPV10% of approximately A$71m), at a tin price of US$20,000/t, to an accuracy of ±35%. The pre-tax internal rate of return of the project is approximately 45%.
The Heemskirk Tin Project Scoping Study has been undertaken for the purpose of ascertaining whether a business case can be made to proceed to more definitive studies on the viability of the Heemskirk Tin Project. It is a preliminary technical and economic study of potential project viability based on low level technical and economic assessments that are not sufficient to support the estimation of ore reserves. Further exploration and evaluation work and appropriate studies are required before Stellar will be in a position to estimate any ore reserves or to provide any assurance of an economic development case.
Please refer to 1 October 2019 announcement “Heemskirk Tin Scoping Study Confirms Attractive Economics” for further information on the Scoping Study and Tin Project Mineral Resource Statements.
Mount Razorback Mine Re-development Potential Identified
In July 2019, a small exploration target was announced to a depth of 100m below the historic Razorback Mine pit floor. The potential for the Razorback Mine to possibly provide a source of early tin production and cashflow was also identified, which requires to be further studied by Stellar.
Please refer to 16 July 2019 announcement “Early Tin Production Potential at Razorback” for further information.
Tin Market Outlook
Demand for refined tin in China has recovered significantly from the start of 2020. Since the downturn in tin demand early in 2020 due to coronavirus and associated Chinese smelter maintenance closures and production reductions, the Chinese economy is moving once again and promises of significant investment in network infrastructure are rising the demand for tin. Some Chinese solder producers are indicating significant year-on-year growth in recent months.
Tin prices have risen significantly during 2020 from a low of US$13,950/t in March 2020 to US$18,125/t on 18 September 2020.

LME Tin Prices (1 Jan 2019 to 18 September 2020)
Stellar maintains a positive short to medium term outlook on tin demand and prices improving further for the following reasons:
-
There has been limited investment in new tin mines or exploration
-
Traditional uses for tin (solder, tin plate and chemicals) will continue to grow in line with global economic growth
-
Tin is an energy metal – new uses emerging in energy capture and storage expected to drive increased demand
-
Tin stocks remain at relatively low levels
Stellar’s tin projects are being maintained in good standing until tin prices improve sufficiently to fund and continue to advance the Heemskirk Tin Project.
The Company has engaged in ongoing discussions with several large corporates during the year regarding investment in the Heemskirk Tin Project as an alternative pathway to advancing the project.

Directors’ and Executives’ Compensation
Remuneration Policy
The Board is responsible for determining and reviewing the remuneration of the Directors including the Managing Director and executive officers of the Company where applicable. This process requires consideration of the levels and form of remuneration appropriate to securing, motivating and retaining executives with the skills to manage the Company’s operations. In order to retain and attract executives of sufficient calibre to facilitate the efficient and effective management of the Company’s operations, the Board seeks where necessary the advice of external advisers in connection with the structure of remuneration packages. The Board also recommends the levels and form of remuneration for non-executive Directors with reference to performance, relevant comparative remuneration and independent expert advice. The total sum of remuneration payable to non-executive Directors shall not exceed the sum fixed by members of the Company in a general meeting. Shareholders fixed the maximum aggregate remuneration for non-executive Directors at $500,000.
The Company during the year implemented and sought shareholder approval for a Non-Executive Director Share Rights Plan ( NEDSP ). Under the plan the Directors may sacrifice certain amounts of their Directors fees and receive Share Rights in the Company which will vest into fully paid ordinary shares 12 months from the grant date.
The key element of the NEDSP for current NEDs is that it provides the opportunity for NEDs to sacrifice part or all of their cash fees in favour of equity rights under this plan to build their shareholding in the Company.
The introduction of the NEDSP is also intended to remunerate individual NEDs for any material additional efforts that individual NEDs are required to deliver in progressing the Company’s goals.
The NEDSP does not attach any performance measures to vesting. This is in line with best practice governance standards which recommend that non-executive directors generally should not receive equity with performance hurdles attached as it may lead to bias in decision-making and compromise their objectivity and in turn their independence.
The three key elements of Director and executive remuneration are:
-
base salary and fees, which are determined by reference to the market rate based on payments by similar size companies in the industry;
-
superannuation contributions; and
-
equity-based payments, the value of which are dependent on the Company’s share price and other factors.
Voting and comments made at the company's 26 November 2019 Annual General Meeting ('AGM')
The company received 98.65% of 'for' votes in relation to its remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2019. The company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM regarding its remuneration practices.
Relationship between the Remuneration Policy and Company Performance
The tables below set out summary information about the consolidated entity’s earnings and movements in shareholder wealth for the five years to June 2020. As the table indicates, earnings have varied significantly over the past five financial years, due to the nature of exploration activities. It has been the focus of the Board of Directors to attract and retain management personnel essential to continue exploration activities.

Stellar Resources Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2020
==> picture [61 x 35] intentionally omitted <==
Note 1. General information
The financial statements cover Stellar Resources as a consolidated entity consisting of Stellar Resources and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year. The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Stellar Resources's functional and presentation currency.
Stellar Resources is a listed public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Its registered office and principal place of business is:
Level 17 530 Collins Street Melbourne VIC 3000
The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of directors, on 29 September 2020. The directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements.
Note 2. Significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out either in the respective notes or below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Amendments to AASBs and the new Interpretation that are mandatorily effective for the current reporting period
The Consolidated Entity has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current year.
All new accounting standards required which are mandatory for current accounting period were adopted.
The adoption of all the new and revised Standards and Interpretations has not resulted in any material changes to the consolidated entity’s accounting policies and has no material effect on the amounts reported for the current or prior years.
The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the consolidated entity:
AASB 16 Leases
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The standard replaces AASB 117 'Leases' and for lessees will eliminate the classifications of operating leases and finance leases. Subject to exceptions, a 'right-of-use' asset will be capitalised in the statement of financial position, measured at the present value of the unavoidable future lease payments to be made over the lease term. The exceptions relate to short-term leases of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets (such as personal computers and small office furniture) where an accounting policy choice exists whereby either a 'right-of-use' asset is recognised or lease payments are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. A liability corresponding to the capitalised lease will also be recognised, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of any future restoration, removal or dismantling costs. Straight-line operating lease expense recognition will be replaced with a depreciation charge for the leased asset (included in operating costs) and an interest expense on the recognised lease liability (included in finance costs). In the earlier periods of the lease, the expenses associated with the lease under AASB 16 will be higher when compared to lease expenses under AASB 117. However EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation) results will be improved as the operating expense is replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit or loss under AASB 16. For classification within the statement of cash flows, the lease payments will be separated into both a principal (financing activities) and interest (either operating or financing activities) component. For lessor accounting, the standard does not substantially change how a lessor accounts for leases.
On adoption of AASB 16, the group recognised lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as ‘operating leases’ under the principles of AASB117 Leases (leases which had previously been classified as 'finance leases' were fully repaid during the year ended 30 June 2019). These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate as of 1 July 2019. The weighted average lessee’s incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on 1 July 2019 was 5.14%.

| (212) |
Accounting Policy for right of use assets
A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated or amortised on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the consolidated entity expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.
The consolidated entity has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit or loss as incurred.
Accounting Policy for Lease liabilities
A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the consolidated entity's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Going concern
Stellar Resources Limited’s consolidated financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis which assumes continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
During the year ended 30 June 2020, the consolidated entity incurred a loss of $496,004, had net cash outflows from operating activities of $514,542, payments for exploration activities of $147,815 and had accumulated losses of $25,880,532 as at 30 June 2020. The continuation of the consolidated entity as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash from operating and financing activities and manage the level of exploration and other expenditure within available cash resources. The Directors consider that the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate for the following reasons:
As at 30 June 2020, the consolidated entity had cash assets of $524,796 and net working capital of $442,752, indicating it had the ability to meet its debts as and when they fall due. Subsequent to year end, as detailed in note 25, the consolidated entity announced a fully underwritten entitlement offer for $1,879,948 (before costs), as well as the issue of shares raising $300,000 (before costs).
The most recently prepared cash flow forecast prepared by management, and reviewed by the Directors, indicates that the consolidated entity has sufficient cash reserves to continue its current exploration programs and other working capital requirements beyond twelve months from issuing these financial statements. The cash flow forecast takes into account:
-
the consolidated entity’s implementation of cost reviews which includes exploration activity and overhead expenditure, such as the payment of director fees via shares in lieu of cash;
-
the receipt of $300,000 (before costs) from a completed placement and the expected receipt of $1,879,948 (before costs) from a fully underwritten rights issue to complete on 13 October 2020, subsequent to year end, as detailed above; and - expected requirements of current and new exploration programs, along with the ability to defer expenditure for current tin Exploration Licences in Tasmania until after 1 March 2021.
This 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 might be necessary should the consolidated entity not continue as a going concern.
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 ('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').
Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, investment properties, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entity'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 in note 3.
Parent entity information
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the consolidated entity only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 22.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Stellar Resources ('company' or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2020 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Stellar Resources and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'consolidated entity'.
28
Stellar Resources Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2020
==> picture [61 x 35] intentionally omitted <==
Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Subsidiaries are all those 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 de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the consolidated entity are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the consolidated entity.
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent.
Where the consolidated entity loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non-controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The consolidated entity recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss.
Revenue recognition
The consolidated entity recognises revenue as follows:
Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the consolidated entity is expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the consolidated entity: identifies the contract with a customer; identifies the performance obligations in the contract; determines the transaction price which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money; allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service to be delivered; and recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised.
Variable consideration within the transaction price, if any, reflects concessions provided to the customer such as discounts, rebates and refunds, any potential bonuses receivable from the customer and any other contingent events. Such estimates are determined using either the 'expected value' or 'most likely amount' method. The measurement of variable consideration is subject to a constraining principle whereby revenue will only be recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur. The measurement constraint continues until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Amounts received that are subject to the constraining principle are recognised as a refund liability.
Interest
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
Other revenue
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.
Current and non-current classification
Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.
An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the consolidated entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.
29
Stellar Resources Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2020
==> picture [61 x 35] intentionally omitted <==
Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the consolidated entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current and are offset if legally enforceable right however they are unrecognised within the consolidated entity's financial statements .
New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2020.
Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework)
The revised Conceptual Framework is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Conceptual Framework contains new definition and recognition criteria as well as new guidance on measurement that affects several Accounting Standards. Where the consolidated entity has relied on the existing framework in determining its accounting policies for transactions, events or conditions that are not otherwise dealt with under the Australian Accounting Standards, the consolidated entity may need to review such policies under the revised framework. At this time, the application of the Conceptual Framework is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated entity's financial statements.
Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.
Share-based payment transactions
The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using either the Binomial or BlackScholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.
Fair value measurement hierarchy
The consolidated entity is required to classify all assets and liabilities, measured at fair value, using a three level hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date; Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Considerable judgement is required to determine what is significant to fair value and therefore which category the asset or liability is placed in can be subjective.
The fair value of assets and liabilities classified as level 3 is determined by the use of valuation models. These include discounted cash flow analysis or the use of observable inputs that require significant adjustments based on unobservable inputs.
Estimation of useful lives of assets
The consolidated entity determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its property, plant and equipment. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations or some other event. The depreciation and amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down.

==> picture [61 x 35] intentionally omitted <==
Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued)
Exploration and evaluation costs
Exploration and evaluation costs have been capitalised on the basis that the consolidated entity will commence commercial production in the future, from which time the costs will be amortised in proportion to the depletion of the mineral resources. Key judgements are applied in considering costs to be capitalised which includes determining expenditures directly related to these activities and allocating overheads between those that are expensed and capitalised. In addition, costs are only capitalised that are expected to be recovered either through successful development or sale of the relevant mining interest. Factors that could impact the future commercial production at the mine include the level of reserves and resources, future technology changes, which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes and changes in commodity prices. To the extent that capitalised costs are determined not to be recoverable in the future, they will be written off in the period in which this determination is made.
Note 4. Segment information
Identification of reportable operating segments
The consolidated entity operates in one segment, being an explorer of tin, which is also the basis on which the board reviews the company’s financial information.
AASB 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about the components of the consolidated entity that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance. In the current year the board reviews the consolidated entity as one operating segment being tin exploration within Australia.
All assets and liabilities and operations are based in Australia.
Accounting policy for operating segments
Operating segments are presented using the 'management approach', where the information presented is on the same basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM'). The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.

The above potential tax benefit for deductible temporary differences and carried forward tax losses have not been recognised in the statement of financial position as the recovery of this benefit is uncertain.
The Company and all its wholly-owned Australian resident entities have formed a tax-consolidated group under Australian taxation law. Stellar Resources Limited is the head entity in the tax-consolidated group. Tax expense/income, deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences of the members of the tax-consolidated group are recognised in the separate financial statements of the members of the tax-consolidated group using the “separate taxpayer within group” approach. Current tax liabilities and assets and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and tax credits of the members of the tax consolidated group are recognised by the Company (as head entity in the tax-consolidated group). Under the tax sharing arrangements, amounts will be recognised as payable or receivable between group companies in relation to their contribution to the tax benefits and amounts of tax paid or payable. No amounts have been recognised in the financial statements in respect of this agreement as payment of any amounts under the tax sharing arrangement is considered remote.
Tax Consolidation
Relevance of tax consolidation to the consolidation entity
The Company and its wholly-owned Australian resident entities have formed a tax-consolidated group with effect from 1 October 2004 and are therefore taxed as a single entity from that date. The head entity within the tax-consolidated group is Stellar Resources Limited.
Nature of tax sharing agreements
Entities within the tax-consolidated group have entered into a tax sharing agreement with the head entity. The tax sharing agreement entered into between members of the tax-consolidated group provides for the determination of the allocation of income tax liabilities between the entities should the head entity default on its tax payment obligations. No amounts have been recognised in the financial statements in respect of this agreement as payment of any amounts under the tax sharing agreement is considered remote.
Accounting policy for income tax
The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for:
-
When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or
-
When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
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.
32
Stellar Resources Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2020
==> picture [61 x 35] intentionally omitted <==
Note 5. Income tax (continued)
The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously.

Note 7. Current assets - Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (continued)
Investment in Twenty Seven Co.
The consolidated entity owned 3,888,238 fully paid ordinary shares in Twenty Seven Co. (ASX:TSC). A revaluation increment of $19,442 was recognised in other comprehensive income during the financial year. These shares were sold in January 2020 for $31,106 before transaction costs.
Samphire Uranium Limited
Samphire Uranium Limited is an unlisted entity, which does not have a quoted price in an active market and whose fair value can not be reliably measured. Prior to 1 July 2018 the investment was measured at cost. Upon adoption of AASB 9 on 1 July 2018 the consolidated group elected to reclassify the investment as fair value through other comprehensive income. The consolidated entity reassessed the investment and the valuation remains unchanged from 30 June 2019 in Samphire Uranium Limited (3,888,238 fully paid ordinary shares held) as the fair value can not be reliably measured.
Investments are recognised and derecognised on trade date where the purchase or sale of an investment is under a contract whose term require delivery of the investment within the timeframe established by the market concerned, and are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss which are initially measured at fair value.
Impairment of financial assets
The consolidated entity assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. Objective evidence includes significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor; a breach of contract such as default or delinquency in payments; the lender granting to a borrower concessions due to economic or legal reasons that the lender would not otherwise do; it becomes probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; the disappearance of an active market for the financial asset; or observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in estimated future cash flows.
The amount of the impairment allowance for loans and receivables carried at amortised cost is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. If there is a reversal of impairment, the reversal cannot exceed the amortised cost that would have been recognised had the impairment not been made and is reversed to profit or loss.

Accounting policy for property, plant and equipment
Land and buildings are shown at fair value, based on periodic, valuations by external independent valuers, less subsequent depreciation and impairment for buildings. The valuations are undertaken more frequently if there is a material change in the fair value relative to the carrying amount. Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset. Increases in the carrying amounts arising on revaluation of land and buildings are credited in other comprehensive income through to the revaluation surplus reserve in equity. Any revaluation decrements are initially taken in other comprehensive income through to the revaluation surplus reserve to the extent of any previous revaluation surplus of the same asset. Thereafter the decrements are taken to profit or loss.
Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment (excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows:
(excluding land) over their expected useful lives |
as follows: |
|---|---|
| Land and buildings | 40 years |
| Plant and equipment under lease | 2 years |
The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the assets, whichever is shorter.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the consolidated entity. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss.

Accounting policy for right-of-use assets
A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the consolidated entity expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.
The consolidated entity has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit or loss as incurred.

Note 11. Non-current assets - exploration and evaluation assets (continued)
Ultimate recovery of capitalised exploration expenditure is dependent upon success in exploration and development or sale or farm-in\farm-out of the exploration interests.
Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward on the statement of financial position where rights to tenure are current and to the extent that costs are expected to be recouped through either the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves and active and significant exploration activity in, or in relation to, the area is continuing. 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 and are assessed for impairment if:
-
sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability; or
-
other facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
For the purposes of impairment testing, exploration and evaluation assets are allocated to cash-generating units to which the exploration activity relates. The application of this policy requires judgement to determine whether future economic benefits are likely, from either future exploitation or sale, or whether activities have not reached a stage that permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves.
Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written down in full in profit or loss during the period in which the decision to abandon the area is made.
Proceeds on sale or farm-out of an area within an exploration area of interest are offset against the carrying value of the particular area involved. Where the total carrying value of an area has been recouped in this manner, the balance of the proceeds is brought to account in profit or loss.
During the year ended 30 June 2019, the consolidated entity engaged an Independent Expert to value the Heemskirk Tin Project, St Dizier and Mount Razorback on a Fair Value less cost to sell basis.
The independent expert assessed the fair value (less cost to sell) of the tenements as at 30 June 2019 using a combination of the following valuation methods:
-
Market base methods:
-
Valuation multiples (Purchase price/resources) implied by transactions involving comparable assets
-
Valuation multiples (Enterprise Value/resources) implied by listed companies comparable to Stellar
-
Income approach (applicable only for Heemskirk):
-
Discounted cash flow method
The key assumptions made within the valuations included the following:
-
The current Mineral Resource Estimate (2019) containing a JORC (2012) Indicated Resource of 2.12Mt @ 1.1% Sn, 0.10% Cu and an Inferred resource of 4.48Mt @ 1.0% Sn, 0.1% Cu.
-
Consideration of market based valuation multiples of comparable companies and transactions on a value per resources basis
In the prior year ending 30 June 2019, the consolidated entity impaired the carrying value of the Exploration and Evaluation down to $10,692,819 based off the preferred valuation as completed by the independent expert which considered the mean of the 3 valuation methodologies as set out within the Independent Expert Report. The carrying value of the Exploration assets as at 30 June 2020 is $10,912,578 has been derived by adding $219,760 of exploration expenditure during the 12 months ending 30 June 2020 to the 30 June 2019 carrying value and is largely in line with the value assessed at June-19.

Note 11. Non-current assets - exploration and evaluation assets (continued)
Accounting policy for exploration and evaluation assets
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. Where a project or an area of interest has been abandoned, the expenditure incurred thereon is written off in the year in which the decision is made.

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated entity prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

Note 13. Equity - issued capital (continued)
Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on the winding up of the company in proportion to the number of and amounts paid on the shares held. The fully paid ordinary shares have no par value and the company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital.
On a show of hands every member present at a meeting in person or by proxy shall have one vote and upon a poll each share shall have one vote.
Capital risk management
The consolidated entity's objectives when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the statement of financial position, plus net debt. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the consolidated entity may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
The consolidated entity would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company was seen as value adding relative to the current parent entity's share price at the time of the investment.
The entity does not have a defined share buy-back plan.
There is no current intention to incur debt funding on behalf of the Company as on-going exploration expenditure will be funded via equity or joint ventures with other companies. The consolidated entity is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 30 June 2018 Annual Report.
Management reviews management accounts on a monthly basis and reviews actual expenditure against budget on a quarterly basis.
Accounting policy for issued capital
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.

Note 14. Equity - reserves (continued)
Employee equity-settled benefits reserve
The employee equity-settled benefits reserve arises on the grant of share options to Directors and employees. Amounts are transferred out of the reserve and into issued capital when the options are exercised. The options expired during the period moved to the accumulated losses were of $1,625,927. The balance at the end of the period represent options granted on 10 May 2019 to Directors. The expiry date of these options is 10 May 2022.
Listed option reserve
The listed option reserve arises on unissued ordinary shares issued to Hunter Capital Advisors Pty Ltd in satisfaction of corporate advisory and capital raising services performed and in accordance with shareholder approval given on 10 April 2017. These options lapsed on 18 May 2020.
Unlisted option reserve
The unlisted option reserve arises on the 5,000,000 unlisted options issued to Taylor Collision in satisfaction of capital raising services performed. These options issued during the period were calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Financial risk management objectives
The consolidated entities activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including price risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The consolidated entity's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the consolidated entity. The consolidated entity uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate and other price risks, ageing analysis for credit risk and beta analysis in respect of investment portfolios to determine market risk.
Risk management is carried out by the finance team ('finance') under policies approved by the Board of Directors ('the Board'). These policies include identification and analysis of the risk exposure of the consolidated entity and appropriate procedures, controls and risk limits. Finance reports to the Board on a monthly basis.
Market risk

Interest rate risk
The consolidated entity is not exposed to significant interest rate risk as deposits are held with established banks with interest rates that are in line with the RBA and other bank rates.
As at the reporting date, the consolidated entity had the following variable interest rates:
| 2020 | 2019 | |||

Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the consolidated entity. The consolidated entity has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The consolidated entity's exposure to credit risks are continuously monitored and controlled by counterparty limits that are reviewed and approved by management on a regular basis.
The consolidated entity does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics. The credit risk on liquid funds and derivative financial instruments is limited as the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies.
The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any allowances for losses, represent the consolidated entity’s maximum exposure to credit risk.

Note 16. Financial instruments (continued)
The consolidated entity has adopted a lifetime expected loss allowance in estimating expected credit losses to trade receivables through the use of a provisions matrix using fixed rates of credit loss provisioning. These provisions are considered representative across all customers of the consolidated entity based on recent sales experience, historical collection rates and forward-looking information that is available.
Generally, trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators of this include the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan, no active enforcement activity and a failure to make contractual payments for a period greater than 1 year.

Note 27. Earnings per share (continued)
Accounting policy for earnings per share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of Stellar Resources, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial 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.

Accounting policy for share-based payments
Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees.
Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange for the rendering of services. Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash for the exchange of services, where the amount of cash is determined by reference to the share price.
50
Stellar Resources Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2020
==> picture [61 x 35] intentionally omitted <==
Note 28. Share-based payments (continued)
The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do not determine whether the consolidated entity receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions.
The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods.
The cost of cash-settled transactions is initially, and at each reporting date until vested, determined by applying either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into consideration the terms and conditions on which the award was granted. The cumulative charge to profit or loss until settlement of the liability is calculated as follows:
-
during the vesting period, the liability at each reporting date is the fair value of the award at that date multiplied by the expired portion of the vesting period.
-
from the end of the vesting period until settlement of the award, the liability is the full fair value of the liability at the reporting date.
All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss. The ultimate cost of cash-settled transactions is the cash paid to settle the liability.
Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore any awards subject to market conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are satisfied.
If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.
If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the consolidated entity or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the consolidated entity or employee and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited.
If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award is treated as if they were a modification.

Stellar Resources Limited
Independent auditor’s report to members
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Stellar Resources Limited (the Company) and the entities it controlled from time to time throughout the financial year (the Group), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.
In our opinion, the annual financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
(i) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2020 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group 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 financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
| CARRYING VALUE OF EXPLORATION AND EVAUATION ASSETS | ||
| Area of focus Refer also to notes 2 and 11 |
How our audit addressed it | |
| The Group has incurred exploration costs for their tin mining project in Australia over a number of years. There is a risk that the accounting criteria associated with the capitalisation of exploration and evaluation expenditure may no longer be appropriate. Due to the nature of the mining industry, indicators of impairment could include: —Changes to exploration plans; —Loss of rights to tenements; —Changes to reserve estimates; or —Costs of extraction and production. Based on management’s assessment the exploration area in Australia continue to meet the requirements for capitalisation at 30 June 2020. |
Our audit procedures included: —Areview of the directors’ assessment of the criteria for the capitalisation of exploration expenditure and their impairment assessment; —Understanding and vouching the underlying contractual entitlement to explore and evaluate each area of interest, including an evaluation of the requirement to renew that tenement at its expiry; and —Examining project spend to each area of interest to ensure that it is directly attributable to that area of interest. We also assessed the adequacy of the Group’s disclosures in respect of exploration costs in the financial report. |
Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 but does not include the financial report and the auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or they 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 the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of these financial statements is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at:
http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1.pdf
This description forms part of our independent auditor’s report.
Report on the Remuneration Report
Opinion on the Remuneration Report

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Stellar Resources Limited for the year ended 30 June 2020 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 .
Responsibilities
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 .
