Highlights:
Heemskirk Tin Project
- Significant improvement in tin demand and prices which increased from ~US$17,000/t to ~US$20,000/t over the half year reporting period to 31 December 2020. From the beginning of 2021 tin prices have continued to rise sharply reaching 10-year high prices of over US$29,000/t on 19 February 2021 with LME tin stocks falling to record lows. Since 23 February 2021 tin prices have returned to ~US$25,000/t levels as of 2 March 2021.
- Improved tin demand and tin prices are now generating growing investor interest in tin supply projects, such as Heemskirk Tin, the highest grade undeveloped tin project in Australia and the second highest globally. With an Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource of 6.6 Mt @ 1.1% Sn1 and an updated Scoping Study completed in 20192, the Heemskirk Tin Project is well positioned to take advantage of significantly improving tin market conditions.
- On 18 February 2021, the Company announced it would restart tin exploration drilling with an Initial Tin Exploration Drilling Program aimed at identifying new areas of high-grade tin mineralisation to be completed in 2021.
- The Initial 2021 Tin Exploration Drilling Program of 7 holes (~3,000m) will target depth extensions of 4 of the largest historical silver-lead mines in the highly mineralised Zeehan area on Stella's licences which typically produced ore with silver grades between 20 to 100 Oz/t Ag. The planned holes are targeted at depths below where the historically mined silver-lead lodes are expected to transition to tin/copper mineralisation although there is also potential for deeper high-grade silver-lead lodes to be intersected.
- A drilling program targeting depth extensions of the Severn tin resource is currently also under-review by Stellar. The Severn resource has been drilled to a depth of ~500m below surface and remains open at depth where it is hoped that mineralisation will continue and increase in grade towards the underlying granite contact.
North East Tasmania Gold Exploration Project
- 10 first-in-time Exploration Licence Applications (ELA's) were registered in September 20204 covering an area of 2,295 km2 in North East Tasmania which is highly prospective for Victorian-style and Intrusion Related Gold Systems (IRGS) and contains ~76 recorded historic gold occurrences.
- 2 additional first-in-time ELA's were registered in March 20215 covering an area of 240 km2, increasing the number of Stellar's gold ELA's in North East Tasmania to a total of 12, covering a total area of 2,534 km2.
- The 2 new ELA's contain 1 recorded historic gold occurrences and 2 recorded historic tin occurrences, in addition to the 76 recorded historic gold occurrences and 23 recorded historic tin occurrences on the initial 10 ELA's45.
- A review of tin exploration potential within Stellar's NE Tasmanian ELA package is now also underway with a total of 25 historic tin occurrences recorded on Stellar's NE Tasmania ELA's.
- A number of desktop orogenic and IRGS gold exploration targets have been identified by Stellar's technical team on its ELA package using a full GIS capability for targeting including recently reprocessed aeromagnetic, radiometric and gravity data, geology, recorded gold and tin occurrences, historic drilling and geochemical data.
- NE Tasmania is a continuation of the Victorian Western Lachlan Fold Belt, which hosts the >3 MOz Fosterville Mine, other Tier 1 goldfields including Bendigo, Ballarat, Stawell, Walhalla and Woods Point and has produced >80 MOz gold. The ELA areas in NE Tasmania best align with the rich Walhalla-Woods Point belt in the eastern part of the Melbourne structural zone4.
- 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.
- While Victoria is currently experiencing intense gold exploration activity, NE Tasmania has had very little modern gold exploration undertaken.
- The initial 10 ELA's registered in September 2020 are expected to be granted by June 2021, subject to MRT's approval. The 2 new ELA's registered are expected to be granted later in 2021.
Corporate
- Non-Renounceable Entitlement Offer raising $1.88 million completed on 13 October, completing a total $2.18 million capital raising including a $0.3 million placement completed on 15 September 2020.
- Cash balance of $2.2m at 31 December 2020.
- In October, Director Gary Fietz's title was changed to Technical Director with responsibility for technical and operational matters following the Company's increased activities.

Tin Market Outlook
There has been significant improvement in tin demand and prices which increased from ~US$17,000/t to ~US$20,000/t over the half year reporting period to 31 December 2020. From the beginning of 2021 tin prices have continued to rise sharply reaching 10-year high prices of over US$29,000/t on 19 February 2021 with LME tin stocks falling to record lows, driven by strong growth in physical tin demand, exceeding supply and creating an extremely tight market. Since 23 February 2021 tin prices have returned to ~US$25,000/t levels as of 2 March 2021.
Improved tin demand and tin prices are now generating growing investor interest in tin supply projects, such as Heemskirk Tin, the highest grade undeveloped tin project in Australia and the second highest globally. With an Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource of 6.6 Mt @ 1.1% Sn and an updated Scoping Study completed in 2019, Stellar's Heemskirk Tin Project is well positioned to take advantage of significantly improving tin market conditions.

Stellar Resources Limited Review of operations 31 December 2020

Stellar maintains a positive outlook on continued growth in tin demand and prices improving further for the following reasons:
- There has been limited investment in new tin mines or exploration.
- Continued demand growth for tin is expected in a range of uses including solder, renewables, tin plate and chemicals.
- Tin use in electronics (solder) now growing strongly due to increased global spending on electronics while in lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic (eg semiconductor sales were up nearly 13% in November, the eleventh straight month of double-digit growth).
- Growing research showing tin may be an effective anode material in Li-ion batteries.
- Research by Rio Tinto, undertaken through Boston's Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 2018 rated tin as the No. 1 metal to benefit from new technology uses such as electric vehicles, advanced robotics, renewable energy and advanced computing and IT.
- There is currently a shortage of physical tin supply with LME tin stocks at historic lows.
As a result of the significant increases in the tin price which has recently reached over US$29,000/t and new investor interest in Stellar's Heemskirk Tin Project, Stellar will restart tin exploration drilling on the Heemskirk Mining Lease and surrounding Exploration Licences this year.
Overview of Stellar's Tin Projects
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 licences including the St Dizier deposit, the Mount Razorback historic mine and the Montana Flats and Mount Razorback Exploration licences 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 Resource1 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 highest grade undeveloped tin resource in Australia and the second highest grade tin resource globally.
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 Study2 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 initial minelife. 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 2019 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%.

Heemskirk Tin Project – Key Results from 2019 Scoping Study
The Heemskirk Tin Project 2019 Scoping Study was 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.
Initial 2021 Tin Exploration Drilling Program
Overview and Metal Zonation
All of the known tin deposits and most of the major silver-lead deposits in the Zeehan district are located in a complex NW trending, 1km wide, structural corridor on the western side of the Montana Fault. This mineralised structural corridor corresponds with a modelled underlying apophysis in the Heemskirk Granite, which is considered to be the source of both the base metal and silver mineralisation.
The Initial 2021 Tin Exploration Drilling Program targets depth extensions of 4 of these key historically mined silver-lead lodes in the highly mineralised Zeehan district located on Stellar's Licences. Historic silver-lead mines in the Zeehan district have a total recorded production of 26 MOz Silver & 190,000 t Lead3. These mines typically produced ore with silver grades between 20 to 100 Oz/t Ag from fissure veins ranging from a few cm up to 2.7m wide and mined over lengths of up to 300m3. These high-grade silver-lead fissure veins represent valuable exploration targets in their own right.
Mineralisation of the Zeehan district is strongly zoned with late-stage galena-sphalerite-silver fissure veining located towards the periphery of stockwork and replacement tin mineralisation (Anderson, 1990, Kitto 1998). Elevated levels of stannite are also associated with the upper levels of the Queen Hill, Montana No 2 and Oonah tin deposits in association with Ag-Pb-Zn sulphide fissure veins where tin mineralisation transitions to base metal mineralisation. Ag-Pb-Zn sulphide fissure veins typically extend hundreds of metres above the tin mineralisation zone.
3 Blissett, 1962 – Tasmania Department of Mines, Geological Survey Explanatory Report, Zeehan
Stellar Resources Limited Review of operations 31 December 2020

Tin mineralisation in the Zeehan district is generally associated with pyrite. Both the Queen Hill and Montana Deposits were recorded as "pyrite" lodes by the early silver-lead miners and considered worthless. Cassiterite (tin) mineralisation which was often fine grained was generally not recognised or assayed for by the early silver-lead miners. The Queen Hill tin deposit was discovered by Gippsland Minerals by sampling and then drilling of supposedly barren pyrite lodes exposed in the Zeehan Queen No. 4 silver-lead mine workings. Based on this Pyrite Lode model, Gippsland Minerals then drilled a reported pyrite lode associated with the silver-lead lodes in the Montana No. 2 Mine thus discovering the Montana tin deposit. Pyritic lodes have also been recorded in the Oonah and Montana No. 1 historic silver-lead mines. These pyritic lodes are targets for tin mineralisation.

Summary of Initial 2021 Tin Exploration Drilling Program
An Initial 2021 Tin Exploration Drilling Program aimed at identifying new areas of high-grade tin mineralisation below 4 key historically mined silver-lead lodes is currently in the final stages of planning. The initial 2021 program includes 7 angled diamond drillholes for a total of ~3,000m drilling testing the potential for additional mineralisation external to currently defined resources.

Preliminary Initial 2021 Exploration Drilling Program Summary
Stellar Resources Limited Review of operations 31 December 2020

The initial 2021 program targets depths below the historically mined silver-lead lodes at which transition to tin (with pyrite) mineralisation can be expected although there is also potential for deeper high grade Ag-Pb-Zn fissure lodes to be interested. These targets have never been drilled.
Oonah Mine and Resource Target Example
As an example of one of the four below 4 key historically mined silver-lead lodes being drilled in the Initial 2021 Tin Exploration Drilling Program, the figure below shows the 2 * 400m angled diamond drill holes planned to target tin and silver-lead lode extensions below historic Oonah mine (worked to ~120m depth) and below historic drilling and the Oonah Inferred Resource (~200m depth) which remains open at depth. Oonah was a large historical mine with 2.0 MOz recorded Silver and 11,724 recorded Lead production3.

Severn Deep Extensions Program Under Review
A deep drilling program targeting depth extensions of the Severn tin resource is now under-review by Stellar. The Severn resource has been drilled to a depth of ~500m below surface and remains open at depth where it is hoped that mineralisation will continue and increase in grade towards the underlying granite contact (predicted to be ~1,000m below the surface from geophysical surveys).
Two parent holes are planned testing the depth extension beyond the resource limit with potential for daughter holes if required. These holes target extension of the Severn deposit approximately 100m below the depth of the current resource limit at a depth of approximately 600m.
Stellar Resources Limited Review of operations 31 December 2020

Comparison with Renison Tin Mine
The Renison Tin Mine located 18km to the NE of Heemskirk has similar geology and ore genesis to the Heemskirk Tin deposits. Renison started with a 4.0Mt reserve and 5 year mine life in 1968 and has since increased the mine life to 50 years with at least another 15 years to go. The Heemskirk deposits contain only ~20% of contained tin found at Renison to date.

North East Tasmania Gold Exploration Project
NE Tasmania – A Continuation of 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. In Victoria, the Western Lachlan Fold Belt is divided into the Stawell, Bendigo and Melbourne structural zones with the eastern most Melbourne Zone extending southwards across Bass Straight into NE Tasmania. The gold rich Walhalla-Woods Point belt in the eastern part of the Melbourne Zone best 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 Lefroy Goldfield (0.2MOz), along with hundreds of smaller historic gold mines and occurrences. As is the case in Victoria, gold deposits in NE Tasmania are orogenic deposits formed in Ordovician to Devonian aged turbiditic sediments, known as the Mathinna Super-Group in NE Tasmania.
The Mathinna Super-Group sediments were deformed and metamorphosed during the Lachlan Orogen with gold mineralization being associated with late-stage regional deformation and 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 (Orogenic gold). The location and geometry of gold lodes in North East Tasmania, 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 System (IRGS) deposits. While Victoria is currently experiencing intense gold exploration activity, NE Tasmania has had very little modern gold exploration undertaken.

Continuation of Western Lachlan Fold Belt from Victoria into NE Tasmania4

NE Tasmania Exploration Licence Applications
10 first-in-time Exploration Licence Applications (ELA's) by Stellar's wholly owned subsidiary, Tarcoola Iron Pty Ltd were registered in September 2020 covering an area of 2,295 km2 in North East Tasmania which are highly prospective for Victorian-style and Intrusion Related Gold Systems (IRGS) gold exploration and contain ~76 recorded historic gold occurrences and 23 recorded historic tin occurrences. 4
2 additional first-in-time ELA's by Stellar's wholly owned subsidiary, Tarcoola Iron Pty Ltd were registered in March 2021 covering an area of 240 km2, increasing the number of Stellar's gold ELA's in North East Tasmania to a total of 12 and covering a total area of 2,534 km2. The 2 additional March ELA areas are also highly prospective for Victorian-style and IRGS gold exploration and contain 1 additional recorded historic gold occurrence and 2 additional recorded historic tin occurrences.5

Proposed Exploration Program
A summary of the proposed work program for the North East Tasmania Gold Exploration Project is shown in the table below.
NE Tasmania Gold Exploration Project - Proposed Work Program Summary
Year 1 – Proposed Work Program Activities
Detailed historic data capture and analysis including geophysical surveys, drilling, soil, rock chip and stream sediment results and historic records on gold occurrences (largely completed)
Reprocessing of available magnetic and gravity survey data (completed)
Fieldwork - visit gold occurrences, mapping, soil, rock chip and steam sediment sampling and analysis over refined targets
Generation of drill targets for year 2
Year 2 – Proposed Work Program Activities
First phase of drilling on drill targets identified in Yr 1. Drilling will be a combination of aircore or RAB or similar method for initial shallow geochemistry drilling of targets, followed up by deeper reverse circulation and diamond drillholes where initial drilling results are encouraging.

Work Completed to Date
A full GIS capability for targeting including recently reprocessed aeromagnetic, radiometric and gravity data, geology, recorded gold and tin occurrences, historic drilling and geochemical data has been developed by Geo Wiz Consulting and Stellar's technical team. Reprocessed aeromagnetic images recently completed by Stellar's geophysical consultant, Southern Mineral Exploration Geophysics have been a key targeting tool in this process.
A number of desktop orogenic and IRGS gold exploration targets have been identified by Stellar's technical team using this full GIS capability for targeting on both the 10 ELA's registered in September 2020 and the 2 ELA's registered in March 2021.
A review of tin exploration potential within Stellar's NE Tasmanian ELA package is now also underway with a total of 25 historic tin occurrences recorded on Stellar's ELA's.
The initial 10 ELA's registered in September 2020 are expected to be granted by June 2021, subject to MRT's approval. The 2 new ELA's registered are expected to be granted later in 2021.
Ground based work on Stellar's NE Tasmania ELA's will commence once the ELA's are granted. Ground based work on the previous 10 ELA's will proceed in advance of the 2 new ELA's due to the later expected grant of the 2 new ELA's, subject to MRT approval.

Stellar Resources Limited Notes to the financial statements 31 December 2020

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 half-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 are:
Registered office Principal place of business Level 4 Level 17 96-100 Albert Road 530 Collins Street South Melbourne 3205 Melbourne VIC 3000
A description of the nature of the consolidated entity's operations and its principal activities are included in the directors' report, which is not part of the financial statements.
The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of directors, on 12 March 2021. The directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements.
Note 2. Significant accounting policies
These general purpose financial statements for the interim half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2020 have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 'Interim Financial Reporting' and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'.
These general purpose financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in annual financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 and any public announcements made by the company during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
The principal accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, unless otherwise stated.
New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
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.
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.

Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued)
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.
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 mineral exploration within Australia.
All assets and liabilities and operations are based in Australia.

In order to maintain current rights to tenure to exploration and mining tenements, the consolidated entity has the above exploration expenditure requirements up until expiry of leases. These obligations, which may be varied from time to time and which are subject to renegotiation upon expiry of the lease, have not been recognised as liabilities in the financial statements. In case of not meeting commitments, the consolidated entity will seek the approval for extension from the Department of State Growth – Mineral Resources Tasmania and the Department of Energy and Mining, Government of South Australia, to maintain current rights to tenure to exploration and mining tenements.
Note 11. Events after the reporting period
On 5 February 2021, the Company issued 3,323,104 Non-Executive Director ("NED") Share Rights for Director's fees salary sacrificed for the period July 2020 to December 2020, under the Non-Executive Director Share Rights Plan, as approved by shareholders at the Company's General Meeting on 10 June 2020. The NED Rights vest 12 months form the date of grant, and no amount is payable on vesting or on exercise.

Stellar Resources Limited
Independent auditor's review report to members
Report on the Review of the Half-Year Financial Report
Conclusion
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Stellar Resources Limited (the company) and the entities it controlled at the half-year's end or from time to time during the half year (the consolidated entity), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and 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.
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 Stellar Resources Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
- a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 31 December 2020 and of its performance for the half year ended on that date; and
- b) complying with Australian Accounting Standard 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 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 Management for the Half-Year 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 Responsibilities for the Review of the Half-Year 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 Company'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.
