Tesoro Resources Limited Chairman’s Letter

==> picture [68 x 41] intentionally omitted <==

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

On behalf of the Board of Directors, it is my pleasure to present the 2021 Annual Report for Tesoro Resources Limited (“Tesoro” or “the Company”), in what was a significant year in the continued growth and progression of our El Zorro Gold Project (“El Zorro”) in Chile.

The Company’s Ternera Gold Deposit (“Ternera”), located at El Zorro, is ideally situated in the Coastal Cordillera region of Chile, which is host to multiple world class copper and gold mines, has well established infrastructure, service providers and an experienced mining workforce. Notwithstanding the continuing challenges that COVID-19 presents, the last 12 months has seen an extraordinary amount of work undertaken at Ternera by the Tesoro team, the results of which continue to indicate that the project has the potential to host a large-scale gold deposit.

During the year a total of 155 diamond drill holes were drilled with drill rigs running continuously throughout the year, which again evidences the benefits of the location of Ternera by virtue of the ability to undertake surface exploration drilling all year round.

Immediately following the end of the financial year, the Company announced its maiden resource estimate at Ternera of 25.1Mt @ 0.8g/t for 660koz of gold using a 0.3g/t Au cut-off1 (“MRE”). Whilst successfully delivering this MRE in under 18 months at discovery cost of approximately $21.00 per ounce is in itself an outstanding achievement, we very much view this achievement as only the first step in defining the potential of Ternera which we expect to continue to grow. This growth potential is highlighted by the fact that the MRE only included assay results from 148 drill holes of a total of 204 holes drilled at the time of release of the MRE. Subsequent assay results received since and from outside the MRE area highlight the potential for further resource growth at Ternera including the following outstanding intersections:

  • 76.15m @ 1.15g/t Au including 8.00m @ 3.56g/t Au2;

  • 19.00m @ 2.58g/t Au including 4.0m @ 10.63g/t Au12;

  • 67.00m @ 3.44 g/t Au including 13.50m @ 15.40 g/t Au3; and

  • 59.00m @ 2.49 g/t Au including 21.00m @ 5.26 g/t Au4.

The Company is targeting to release of an upgraded MRE before the end of CY2021.

In addition to the significant exploration work undertaken during the year, the Company has also begun to shift its focus to a scoping study to help define the preliminary operating metrics and economics of a potential mine development at Ternera. The team is excited by the early work undertaken on the study and is confident that the combination of the encouraging preliminary metallurgy results, potential for an attractive strip ratio given the outcropping orebody and logistical advantages will result in positive findings supportive of further study work and exploration.

In recognition of the evolving focus of the business away from purely exploration, the Company was delighted to announce the recent appointment of Mr Linton Putland as Executive Director – Mining and Development and Ms Kristie Young as Non-Executive Director. Both appointments bring significant relevant industry experience and with backgrounds in mining engineering are expected to be valuable contributors to the on-going development of the Company and its assets.

As referenced above, the Company, like everyone in the global community, continues to deal with the on-going impacts of COVID-19 and is acutely focused on the implications for the health and wellbeing of our employees, contractors and stakeholders. We are pleased to confirm that all the Company’s staff and contractors, including those on site at El Zorro are safe. We are pro-active with respect to our response and have operational procedures and plans in-place in-line with official health advice and government directives. Logistics and planning are more complex but in what can only be attributed to the dedicated efforts of the Tesoro management team, there have not been significant delays or cost impacts on our programs to date related to COVID-19.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Tesoro, via its 95% owned subsidiary Tesoro Mining Chile SpA (TMC), holds an 85% interest in the highly prospective El Zorro Gold Project, located within the Coastal Cordillera of Chile. El Zorro is favourably located and demonstrates significant scale and gold grades. Throughout FY2021, Tesoro has focussed on delineating gold resources at El Zorro, where drilling has produced exceptional results culminating in the delivery of a maiden gold Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for the Ternera Gold Deposit on 28 July 2021.

El Zorro Project

Ternera Maiden Mineral Resource

The Ternera Gold Deposit occurs within Tesoro’s El Zorro Gold Project (“El Zorro” or “the Project”) which covers a total concession holding area of approximately 555km[2] , located approximately 130km north of Copiapo City, in Region III (Atacama) in northern Chile. The Ternera Gold Deposit is 13km inland from the Pacific Ocean, 57km by road from the port of Caldera and is well supported by existing road, power, and water infrastructure.

==> picture [310 x 406] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 1 – El Zorro Project Location Map

Tesoro commenced exploration work at the El Zorro Gold Project in 2017 and has subsequently drilled 203 diamond drill holes, defining the Ternera Gold Deposit. The Ternera maiden MRE was announced post FY2021 year end, on 28 July 2021. The MRE is based on the results from 148 diamond holes (46,937m

of drilling). Tesoro had drilled 203 holes for 61,763m of drilling at Ternera as at 30 June 2021, with diamond drilling programs ongoing post the end of the financial year.

The El Zorro Gold Project is located within the Coastal Cordillera of Chile where Tesoro has delineated the Ternera Gold Deposit. At Ternera, gold mineralisation is predominantly hosted within numerous intermediate intrusions and associated quartz and sulphide veins, veinlets, and alteration within faulted and strongly altered tonalitic intrusions (El Zorro Tonalite or EZT). The EZT intrusions have intruded Permian aged basement sedimentary sequences. Gold mineralisation at Ternera has been classified as an Intrusive Related Gold System (IRGS) which is a new style of gold mineralisation, previously undescribed in Chile. Tesoro has discovered additional gold targets in the El Zorro District which exhibit similar styles of gold mineralisation.

Tesoro Resources Limited Directors' report 30 June 2021

==> picture [68 x 41] intentionally omitted <==

Mineralisation within the reported MRE has been classified according to JORC 2012 code and has been reported with an optimised pit shell.

A majority of the MRE area has been drilled on an approximately 50m x 50m drill spacing and is classified as Inferred Resources. A small portion in the Central Ternera area has been drilled at a sufficient density to be classified as Indicated Resources (Figure 3).

Within the Ternera Mineral Resource envelope, higher grade gold mineralisation is associated with distinct north-south faults which are both strike and dip extensive. These fault zones have formed a number of higher-grade zones which remain open down dip and along strike (Figure 4).

The Ternera Gold Deposit remains open in all directions. The Company has drilled >200 diamond drill holes at Ternera to date and drilling continues, with the aim of improving the reported Mineral Resource categories and expanding the overall Mineral Resource. With only 148 holes included in the MRE, there is significant scope for Tesoro to increase the Mineral Resource during the remainder of CY2021.

Exploration Potential

Since February 2020, Tesoro has been primarily focused on defining and expanding a Mineral Resource at the Ternera Gold Deposit. However preliminary drilling was also completed which confirms gold mineralisation outside of the Ternera Gold Deposit at the Ternera East, Drone Hill and Toro Gordo targets, all of which offer opportunities to increase gold resources across the project area. A large body of the prospective EZT has also been mapped at the Toro Blanco target to the north of Ternera, which is prospective for gold mineralisation.

As at the date of this Report, the Company has 6 diamond drill rigs on site at El Zorro drilling 24/7. The current drilling programs are focused on:

  • Defining Measured and expanding Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources at the Ternera Gold Project;

  • Delineating gold Mineral Resources at Ternera East;

  • Further drill testing at Drone Hill; and

  • Initial drill testing at Toro Blanco.

Significant exploration potential exists throughout the El Zorro concessions with identification of the EZT host rocks in the wider El Zorro area. Exploration will continue throughout 2021 to assess and drill test new targets as they are identified.

CORPORATE

El Zorro Increased Ownership

On 24 March 2021, Tesoro advised that its 95% owned Chilean subsidiary, Tesoro Mining Chile SpA (TMC), has increased its ownership of El Zorro to 85%.

Tesoro previously advised on 1 March 2021 that the original Purchase Option Agreement had been terminated and the JV company, El Zorro S.C.M., would operate on a fully diluting basis going forward.

At a shareholders’ meeting of El Zorro S.C.M. held on 11 February 2021, it was resolved that an additional capital contribution of approximately CLP$4.3 billion in total (approximately A$7.6 million) be made to the El Zorro S.C.M. to support the approved workplan and budget. The Company’s El Zorro Joint Venture partner, Wanaco SpA ( Wanaco ) elected not to participate and TMC has now contributed the A$7.6 million to increase its ownership to 85%.

Post the end of the financial year, on 26 August 2021, the Company advised it had been served notice of dispute initiated by Wanaco, lodged with 7th Civil Court de Santiago de Chile.

Wanaco is disputing the valuation and the procedure followed for the capital increase approved in the Shareholders Meeting of El Zorro SCM held on 11 February 2021. Tesoro is confident that the capital increases were properly valued and duly approved under Chilean corporate and mining law and the dispute initiated by Wanaco is vexatious and with no legal basis. Tesoro will vigorously defend its position and is considering its legal options to have this claim rejected by the court.

Oversubscribed Capital Raising

On 9 December 2020, the Company announced it had received firm commitments for a Placement and Share Purchase Plan (SPP) to raise up to $21 million (before costs). The Placement was subsequently completed in mid-December 2020, with a total of 66,666,667 new Shares issued at an issue price of $0.27 per Share, utilising the Company’s existing ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A placement capacities.

A further 925,926 new Shares were issued to Tribeca in lieu of fees for capital raising services,

On 9 January 2021, Tesoro closed the SPP announced on 9 December 2020. Under the SPP, each Eligible Shareholder was entitled to subscribe for up to $30,000 worth of new fully paid ordinary shares (Shares) at an issue price of $0.27 per Share, without incurring brokerage or other transaction costs.

The Company received valid applications for a total of 16,836,932 new Shares from Eligible Shareholders, totaling $4,546,000 and exceeding the targeted $3,000,000. The Company conducted a pro-rata scale back of applications received in excess of $3,000,000, in accordance with the terms of the SPP, with Eligible Shareholders receiving approximately 66% of the amount for which they subscribed.

Funds raised pursuant to the Placement and SPP have and will be used to fund an accelerated 50,000m drilling program at the El Zorro Gold Project, a detailed metallurgical testwork program and the commencement of a Scoping Study at the Company’s El Zorro Gold Project in early CY2021, and for general working capital purposes, including the costs of the capital raising.

El Zorro Land Position Increased to 555km[2]

On 31 July 2020 and 23 September 2020, Tesoro announced it had secured in total an additional 344 concessions in proximity to the El Zorro Project. The addition of this ground firmly places Tesoro as the dominant regional player in the belt. The new concessions cover an area that is believed to be highly prospective for additional gold mineralisation, similar to the style being drilled at Ternera.

13 | P a g e

Tesoro Resources Limited Directors' report 30 June 2021

==> picture [68 x 41] intentionally omitted <==

The El Zorro Project concession area now covers approximately 555km[2] of prospective strike from north to south and importantly, covers prospective structural zones identified during a regional review of the belt. These structural zones are believed to be associated with gold mineralisation.

Board Changes

Post the end of the financial year, on 15 September 2021 the Company announced the appointment of Mr Linton Putland as Executive Director – Mining and Development and Ms Kristie Young as NonExecutive Director to help drive exploration and development of its El Zorro Gold Project in Chile.

There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the financial year.

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year

On 6 July 2021, the Company announced assay results from the first hole drilled at the Ternera East Target located at the Company’s El Zorro Gold Project (El Zorro) in Chile.

On 28 July 2021, the Company announced its maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for the Ternera Deposit at the Company’s El Zorro Gold Project, Chile of 25.1Mt @ 0.8g/t for 660 koz of gold using a 0.3g/t Au cut-off, within an optimised pit shell, from the Ternera Gold Deposit.

On 5 August 2021, the Company announced assay results from the Ternera Gold Deposit located at the Company’s El Zorro Gold Project (El Zorro) in Chile for 13 exploration diamond drill holes. On the same date the Company announced the issue of 48,282,854 shares on conversion of vested performance rights.

On 11 August 2021, the Company announced assay results from the Ternera East Gold Target, located at the Company’s El Zorro Gold Project (El Zorro) in Chile, demonstrating the high potential of defining additional resources outside of the Ternera Mineral Resource Model.

On 14 September 2021, Mr Linton Putland and Ms Kristie Young were appointed to the Board.

On 16 September 2021, the Company announced the assay results from infill and extensional drilling at the Ternera Gold Deposit, located at the Company’s El Zorro Gold Project (El Zorro) in Chile, where it is aiming to increase the existing Ternera Mineral Resource of 660,000oz gold.

As the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing, it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date. The situation is rapidly developing and is dependent on measures imposed by the Australian Government and other countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided.

Other than as discussed above, no other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2021 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the Group's operations, the results of those operations, or the Group's state of affairs in future financial years.

Future developments, prospects and business strategies

The Group intends to continue with the advancement of exploration at its current projects located in Chile and seek out further exploration, acquisition and development gold projects in Chile.

Annual Mineral Resource Statement

On 28 July 2021, the Company announced its maiden Mineral Resource estimate for the Ternera Gold Deposit at the El Zorro Project in Chile. The Mineral Resource estimate was prepared and disclosed under the JORC Code 2012 Edition.

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)

This report outlines the remuneration arrangements in place for the Key Management Personnel of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2021. The information provided in this remuneration report has been audited as required by Section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001 .

The remuneration report details the remuneration arrangements for Key Management Personnel who are defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Company and the Group, directly or indirectly, including any Director (whether executive or otherwise) of the parent company, and includes the executives in the Group.

Key Management Personnel

The following are classified as Key Management Personnel:

Directors

John Toll Non-Executive Chairman Zeffron Reeves Managing Director Geoffrey McNamara Non-Executive Director

There were no other Key Management Personnel as at 30 June 2021.

The Remuneration Report is set out under the following main headings:

  • a) Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

  • b) Details of remuneration

  • c) Service agreements

  • d) Equity-based remuneration

  • e) Equity instruments issued on exercise of remuneration options

  • f) Loans with Key Management Personnel

  • g) Other transactions with Key Management Personnel

a) Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

The objective of the Group's executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. The framework aligns executive reward with the achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value for shareholders, and it is considered to conform to the market best practice for the delivery of reward. The Board of Directors ('the Board') ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward governance practices:

  • competitiveness and reasonableness;

  • acceptability to shareholders;

  • performance linkage / alignment of executive compensation; and

  • transparency.

The Board is responsible for determining and reviewing remuneration arrangements for its directors and executives. The performance of the Group depends on the quality of its directors and executives. The remuneration philosophy is to attract, motivate and retain high performance and high-quality personnel. The Board has structured an executive remuneration framework that is market competitive and complementary to the reward strategy of the Group. The remuneration framework is designed to align executive reward to shareholders' interests. The Board considers that it should seek to enhance shareholders' interests by:

  • implementing coherent remuneration policies and practices to attract, motivate and retain executives and directors who will create value for shareholders and who are appropriately skilled and diverse;

  • observing those remuneration policies and practices;

17 | P a g e

Tesoro Resources Limited Directors' report 30 June 2021

==> picture [68 x 41] intentionally omitted <==

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) (cont.)

  • fairly and responsibly rewards executives having regard to Group and individual performance; the performance of the executives and the general external pay environment; and

  • integrating human capital and organisational issues into its overall business strategy.

Additionally, the remuneration framework must refer to the following principles when developing recommendations to the Board regarding executive remuneration:

  • motivating management to pursue the Group's long-term growth and success;

  • demonstrating a clear relationship between the Group's overall performance and the performance of individuals; and

  • complying with all relevant legal and regulatory provisions.

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive director and executive director remuneration is separate.

During the year, the Company adopted an Incentive Option and Performance Rights Plan (“IOPR”) to provide incentive and reward for Eligible Participants and align the interests to participants more closely with the interests of the Shareholders. There were no issues under the EIP during the year ended 30 June 2021.

The Board encourages directors to hold shares in the Company. The Company has a Share Trading Policy which directors and employees are required to comply with. No shares or options were acquired by key management personnel during the year other than as part of remuneration.

All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed.

All performance rights have been valued in accordance with AASB 2, which takes into account factors such as the underlying share price, the expected vesting date and vesting probability in achieving the specified vesting hurdles at the reporting date.

Executive remuneration

The Group aims to reward executives based on their position and responsibility, with a level and mix of remuneration which may have both fixed and variable components. In respect of executive remuneration, remuneration packages should include an appropriate balance of fixed and performance-based remuneration and may contain any or all of the following:

Fixed remuneration

Any fixed remuneration component should:

  • be reasonable and fair;

  • take into account the Group's legal and industrial obligations and labour market condition;

  • be relative to the scale of the Group's business; and  reflect core performance requirements and expectations.

Performance-based remuneration

Any performance-based remuneration should:

  • take into account individual and corporate performance; and

  • be linked to clearly-specified performance targets, which should be

  • aligned to the Group's short and long-term performance objectives; and

  • appropriate to its circumstances, goals and risk appetite.

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) (cont.)

Equity-based remuneration

Equity-based remuneration can include options or performance rights or shares and is especially effective when linked to hurdles that are aligned to the Group’s longer-term performance objectives. However, they should be designed so that they do not lead to ‘short-termism’ on the part of senior executives or the taking of undue risks. The Board is of the opinion that the adoption of performancebased compensation for executives is necessary to reward executives consistent with increases in shareholder returns.

Termination payments

Termination payments should be agreed in advance, and any agreement should clearly address what will happen in the case of early termination. There should be no payment for removal for misconduct.

Non-Executive Director’s Remuneration

Fees and payments to Non-Executive Directors reflect the demands and responsibilities of their role. Non-Executive Directors’ fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Board. The Board may, from time to time, receive advice from independent remuneration consultants to ensure nonexecutive directors’ fees and payments are appropriate and in line with the market.

In respect of Non-Executive Director remuneration, remuneration packages could contain cash fees, superannuation contributions and non-cash benefits in lieu of fees (such as salary sacrifice into superannuation or equity) and may contain any or all of the following:

  • fixed remuneration – this should reflect the time commitment and responsibilities of the role

  • performance-based remuneration – The Company acknowledges that the ASX Corporate Governance Council recommends that non-executive directors should generally not receive performance-based remuneration as it may lead to bias in their decision-making and compromise their objectivity. However, the Board may from time to time form the view that an award of performance based remuneration is appropriate in light of the Company’s current position, and strategic objectives.

  • equity-based remuneration – non-executive directors can receive equity based remuneration if shareholders have approved such an allocation in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules; and

  • termination payments – non-executive directors should not be provided with retirement benefit other than superannuation.

ASX Listing Rules require the aggregate non-executive directors’ remuneration be determined periodically by a general meeting. The maximum aggregate remuneration payable to Non-Executive Directors currently stands at $500,000 per annum.

Environmental regulation

The Directors have considered the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 (the NGER Act) which introduces a single national reporting framework for the reporting and dissemination of information about the greenhouse gas emissions, greenhouse gas projects, and energy use and production of corporations. At the current stage of development, the Directors have determined that the NGER Act will have no effect on the Company for the current or subsequent financial year. The Directors will reassess this position as and when the need arises.

Unissued shares under option

There are currently no unissued shares under option of the Company.

Indemnifying officers or auditor

In accordance with the constitution, except as may be prohibited by the Corporations Act 2001 every officer, auditor or agent of the Company shall be indemnified out of the property of the Company against any liability incurred by him in his capacity as officer, auditor or agent of the Company or any related corporation in respect of any act or omission whatsoever and howsoever occurring or in defending any proceedings, whether civil or criminal.

The Board of Directors has considered the position and is satisfied that the provision of the non-audit services is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.

==> picture [68 x 41] intentionally omitted <==

Note 1. Statement of significant accounting policies

This financial report includes the financial statements and notes of Tesoro Resources Limited and controlled entities (“consolidated entity” or the “Group”). The separate financial statements and notes of Tesoro Resources Limited as an individual parent entity (“Company”) have not been presented within this financial report as permitted by the Corporations Act 2001 .

Basis of preparation

The financial report is a general purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 , Accounting Standards and Interpretations and complies with other requirements of the law.

The Company is an ASX listed public company, incorporated in Australia and operating in Australia and Chile.

The Group’s principal activities are mineral exploration.

Historical cost convention

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets, financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, investment properties, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments.

Statement of Compliance

The financial report was authorised for issue on 24 September 2021.

The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes thereto, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

Tesoro Resources Limited Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2021

==> picture [68 x 41] intentionally omitted <==

Note 1. Statement of significant accounting policies (cont.)

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Tesoro Resources Limited (“Company” or “parent entity”) as at 30 June 2021 and the results of all subsidiaries for the period then ended. Tesoro Resources Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the “consolidated entity” or “Group”.

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Company has control. The Company controls an entity when the Company 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 Company. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the Group 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 Group.

The acquisition of subsidiaries has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase method of accounting involves allocating the cost of the business combination to the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements include the results of subsidiaries for the period from their acquisition.

Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of changes in equity of the consolidated entity. Losses incurred by the consolidated entity are attributed to the non-controlling interest in full, even if that results in a deficit balance.

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 statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Foreign currency translation

The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Group's functional and presentation currency.

Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at financial period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at the reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the average exchange rates, which approximate the rates at the dates of the transactions, for the period. All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity.

The foreign currency reserve is recognised in statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of.

Tesoro Resources Limited Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2021

==> picture [68 x 41] intentionally omitted <==

Note 2. Significant accounting estimates and judgements

The application of accounting policies requires the use of judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Exploration and evaluation expenditure:

The Directors have conducted a review of the Group’s capitalised exploration expenditure to determine the existence of any indicators of impairment. Based upon this review, the Directors have determined that no impairment exists.

Share-based payment transactions:

The Group 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 an appropriate valuation model.

The fair value is expensed over the vesting period.

Lease term

The lease term is a significant component in the measurement of both the right-of-use asset and lease liability. Judgement is exercised in determining whether there is reasonable certainty that an option to extend the lease or purchase the underlying asset will be exercised, or an option to terminate the lease will not be exercised, when ascertaining the periods to be included in the lease term. In determining the lease term, all facts and circumstances that create an economical incentive to exercise an extension option, or not to exercise a termination option, are considered at the lease commencement date. Factors considered may include the importance of the asset to the consolidated entity's operations; comparison of terms and conditions to prevailing market rates; incurrence of significant penalties; existence of significant leasehold improvements; and the costs and disruption to replace the asset. The consolidated entity reassesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option, if there is a significant event or significant change in circumstances.

Note 3. Cash and cash equivalent

Cash at bank

13,728,277 5,871,130

Cash comprises cash at bank and in hand. Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above. Cash at bank earns interest at floating rates based on daily bank deposit rates.

Note 4. Trade and other receivables

Current trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are normally settled on 60-day terms. This balance is current receivables incurred on a day to day operational basis and considered unimpaired.

Expected credit losses

The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified model of recognising lifetime expected credit losses for all trade receivables as these items do not have a significant financing component.

Where applicable, in measuring the expected credit losses, the trade receivables are assessed on a collective basis as they possess shared credit risk characteristics. They are grouped based on the days past due and also according to the geographical location of customers.

The expected loss rates are based on the payment profile for sales over the past 48 months before 30 June 2021 and 30 June 2020 respectively as well as the corresponding historical credit losses during that period. The historical rates are adjusted to reflect current and forwarding looking macroeconomic factors affecting the customer’s ability to settle the amount outstanding.

Trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Failure to make payments within 180 days from the invoice date and failure to engage with the Group on alternative payment arrangement amongst other is considered indicators of no reasonable expectation of recovery.

The recoupment of costs carried forward in relation to areas of interest in the exploration and evaluation phases are dependent on the successful development and commercial exploitation or sale of the respective areas.

Exploration and evaluation expenditures in relation to each separate area of interest are recognised as an exploration and evaluation asset in the year in which they are incurred where the following conditions are satisfied:

  • the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and

  • at least one of the following conditions is also met:

  • (i) the exploration and evaluation expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; or

  • (ii) exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not at the balance date reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.

Exploration and evaluation assets are initially measured at cost and include acquisition of rights to explore, studies, exploratory drilling, trenching, assaying, sampling and associated activities and an allocation of depreciation and amortised of assets used in exploration and evaluation activities. General and administrative costs are only included in the measurement of exploration and evaluation costs where they are related directly to operational activities in a particular area of interest.

Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the exploration and evaluation asset (for the cash generating unit(s) to which it has been allocated being no larger than the relevant area of interest) is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in previous years.

Where a decision has been made to proceed with development in respect of a particular area of interest, the relevant exploration and evaluation asset is tested for impairment and the balance is then reclassified to a mine development asset.

Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation is calculated over the estimated useful life of the assets as follows: Plant and equipment – over 5 to 15 years (diminishing value) Computer equipment – 3 years (diminishing value) Leasehold improvements – 3-10 years (diminishing value)

Note 6. Plant and Equipment (cont.)

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the assets, whichever is shorter.

For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs, unless the asset's value in use can be estimated to be close to its fair value.

An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash-generating units exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. The asset or cash-generating unit is then written down to its recoverable amount with the impairment loss recognised in statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Derecognition and disposal

An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal.

Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the year the asset is derecognised.

(i) Trade payables are non-interest bearing and are normally settled on 30 day terms.

Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months.

Note 7. Current Liabilities (cont.)

Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable the consolidated entity will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a expense.

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 the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down.

The tax benefits of the above deferred tax assets will only be obtained if:

(a) the Company derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefits to be utilised;

(b) the Company continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by law; and (c) no changes in income tax legislation adversely affect the Company in utilising the benefits.

1 The corporate tax rate for eligible companies will reduce from 30% to 25% by 30 June 2022 providing certain turnover thresholds and other criteria are met. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are required to be measured at the tax rate that is expected to apply in the future income year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled. The Directors have determined that the deferred tax balances be measured at the tax rates stated.

Note 15. Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies

The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are market risk, currency risk and interest rate risk.

This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, their objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital.

The Board has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below.

The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and short term deposits. The main purpose of the financial instruments is to earn the maximum amount of interest at a low risk to the Group. The Group also has other financial instruments such as trade debtors and creditors which arise directly from its operations.

Note 15. Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies (cont.)

(a) Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments.

The Group is exposed to movements in market interest rates on short term deposits. The policy is to monitor the interest rate yield curve out to 120 days to ensure a balance is maintained between the liquidity of cash assets and the interest rate return. The Group does not have short or long term debt, and therefore this risk is minimal.

(b) Currency Risk

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commitments, assets and liabilities that are denominated in a currency that is not the functional currency of the Group. The Group deposits are denominated in both Chilean Peso, US dollar and Australian dollars. At the year end the majority of deposits were held in Australian dollars. Currently, there are no foreign exchange programs in place. Based upon the above, the impact of reasonably possible changes in foreign exchange rates for the Group is not material.

(c) Interest Rate Risk

The table below reflects the undiscounted contractual settlement terms for financial instruments of a fixed period of maturity, as well as management’s expectations of the settlement period for all other financial instruments. As such, the amounts might not reconcile to the statement of financial position.

Net fair value of financial assets and liabilities

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value because of their short-term maturity.

(d) Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis

At 30 June 2021, the effect on loss and equity as a result of changes in the interest rate, with all other variable remaining constant would have immaterial effect.

(e) Credit Risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group has adopted the policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral or other security where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.

The Group operates in the mining exploration sector; it therefore does not supply products and have trade receivables and is not exposed to credit risk in relation to trade receivables. The Group does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any Company of counterparties having similar characteristics.

The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk at each balance date in relation to each class of recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any allowance for doubtful debts, of those assets as indicated in the statement of financial position. The maximum credit risk exposure of the Group at 30 June 2021 is nil (2020: nil). There are no impaired receivables at 30 June 2021 (2020: Nil).

(f) Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.

The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows on a rolling monthly basis and entering into supply contracts which can be cancelled within a short timeframe. The

Tesoro Resources Limited Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2021

==> picture [68 x 40] intentionally omitted <==

Note 15. Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies (cont.)

Group does not have any significant liquidity risk as the Group does not have any collateral debts.

(g) Capital Management

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so it may continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.

Due to the nature of the Group’s activities, being mineral exploration, it does not have ready access to credit facilities and therefore is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements, with the primary sources of project funding to date being raising funds from equity markets. Accordingly, the objective of the Group’s capital risk management is to balance the current working capital position against the requirements to meet progressing exploration and evaluation work, project related costs and corporate overheads. Going forward, operations budget and cashflow forecasts are monitored to ensure sufficient funding to meet expenditure.

The directors consider that the carrying value of the financial assets and financial liabilities recognised in the consolidated financial statements approximate their fair value.

Note 16. Earnings Per Share (cont.)

Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit or loss attributable to members of the parent, adjusted for:

  • costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends;

  • the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and

  • other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares; divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

Note 17. Segment Reporting

Tesoro Resources Limited operates predominantly in one industry being the mining exploration and evaluation industry in Chile, with its corporate function located in Australia.

Segment Information

Identification of reportable segments

The Company has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the chief operating decision maker (being the Board of Directors) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources.

The Company is managed primarily on the basis of evaluation of its gold and copper exploration tenements in Chile and its corporate activities. Operating segments are therefore determined on the same basis.

Reportable segments disclosed are based on aggregating operating segments where the segments are considered to have similar economic characteristics.

Types of reportable segments

(i) Exploration and evaluation

Segment assets, including acquisition cost of exploration licenses and all expenses related to the licenses in Chile are reported in this segment.

(ii) Corporate

Corporate, including treasury, corporate and regulatory expenses arising from operating an ASX listed entity. Segment assets, including cash and cash equivalents, and investments in financial assets are reported in this segment.

Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments

Accounting policies adopted

Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors as the chief operating decision maker with respect to operating segments are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent to those adopted in the annual financial statements of the Company.

Note 18. Commitments for expenditure

Exploration commitments consist of annual rents payable on mineral concessions.

Note 19. Contingent assets

All purchases in Chile are subject to the payment of the Impuesto al Valor Agregado (“IVA”) which is a Value Added Tax.

As at 30 June 2021, El Zorro S.C.M. had applied for a VAT benefit. As at 30 June 2021, El Zorro S.C.M. carries an IVA tax receivable of $1,302,351. The contingent asset has not been recognised as a receivable at 30 June 2021as the receipt of the amount is dependent upon El Zorro S.C.M. meeting the IVA refund conditions stipulated by the relevant taxation authorities in Chile.

As at 30 June 2021, the IVA tax receivable for Tesoro Mining Chile SpA is $nil as it is no longer expected to be refundable, as the nature of the Company in Chile will not meet the IVA refund conditions and therefore Tesoro will not be able to claim back the IVA tax it has paid on all Chilean purchases. As at 30 June 2020, the IVA tax receivable was approximately $275,380.

Note 20. Contingent liabilities

Post the end of the financial year, on 26 August 2021, the Company advised it had been served notice of dispute initiated by Wanaco SpA (“Wanaco”), lodged with 7th Civil Court de Santiago de Chile.

Wanaco is disputing the valuation and the procedure followed for the capital increase approved in the Shareholders Meeting of El Zorro SCM held on 11 February 2021. Tesoro is confident that the capital increases were properly valued and duly approved under Chilean corporate and mining law and the dispute initiated by Wanaco is vexatious and with no legal basis. Tesoro will vigorously defend its position and is considering its legal options to have this claim rejected by the court.

There are no other contingent liabilities as at 30 June 2021 and 30 June 2020.

Note 21. Interest in other entities

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of the following subsidiary in accordance with the accounting policies described in note 1:

The above subsidiaries have share capital consisting solely of ordinary shares that are held directly by the Group, and the proportion of ownership interests held equals the voting rights held by the Group. The country of incorporation or registration is also their principal place of business.

  • In March 2021, the Company modified the terms of the existing Purchase Option Agreement of its acquisition of the El Zorro Gold Project (El Zorro Project), through the Company’s 95% owned Chilean subsidiary, Tesoro Mining Chile SpA (TMC), owner of 70% of El Zorro S.C.M. (El Zorro), the holder of the El Zorro concessions. The existing Purchase Option Agreement was terminated 26 February 2021, meaning that El Zorro will now be operated under normal Chilean company regulations, which includes that all shareholders must be given the opportunity to contribute proportionally to El Zorro’s capital requirements. If a shareholder elects not to contribute to a capital raising, then their ownership will be diluted.

In March 2021, the Company’s 95% owned subsidiary, TMC, has increased its ownership of the El Zorro in Chile to 85%. The minority shareholder in El Zorro elected not to participate and TMC has now contributed the A$7.6 million to increase its ownership to 85%.

The Company leases a building for its office under agreement of four years with the option to extend. On renewal, the terms of the lease are renegotiated.

Tesoro Mining Chile SpA leases a building for its core storage under agreement of two years with the option to extend. On renewal, the terms of the lease are renegotiated.

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.

Note 25. Right-of-Use-Assets (cont.)

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 statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as incurred.

Note 26. Events after reporting period

On 6 July 2021, the Company announced assay results from the first hole drilled at the Ternera East Target located at the Company’s El Zorro Gold Project (El Zorro) in Chile.

On 28 July 2021, the Company announced its maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for the Ternera Deposit at the Company’s El Zorro Gold Project, Chile of 25.1Mt @ 0.8g/t for 660 koz of gold using a 0.3g/t Au cut-off, within an optimised pit shell, from the Ternera Gold Deposit.

On 5 August 2021, the Company announced assay results from the Ternera Gold Deposit located at the Company’s El Zorro Gold Project (El Zorro) in Chile for 13 exploration diamond drill holes. On the same date the Company announced the issue of 48,282,854 shares on conversion of vested performance rights.

On 11 August 2021, the Company announced assay results from the Ternera East Gold Target, located at the Company’s El Zorro Gold Project (El Zorro) in Chile, demonstrating the high potential of defining additional resources outside of the Ternera Mineral Resource Model.

On 14 September 2021, Mr Linton Putland and Ms Kristie Young were appointed to the Board.

On 16 September 2021, the Company announced the assay results from infill and extensional drilling at the Ternera Gold Deposit, located at the Company’s El Zorro Gold Project (El Zorro) in Chile, where it is aiming to increase the existing Ternera Mineral Resource of 660,000oz gold.

As the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing, it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date. The situation is rapidly developing and is dependent on measures imposed by the Australian Government and other countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided.

Other than as discussed above, no other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2020 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the Group's operations, the results of those operations, or the Group's state of affairs in future financial years.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF TESORO RESOURCES LIMITED

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Tesoro Resources Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors' declaration.

In our opinion, the accompanying 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 2021 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 (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 confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's report.

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.

Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed this matter
Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
Refer to Note 5 in the financial statements
The Group has capitalised exploration and
evaluation expenditure with a carrying value of
$15,506,028 as at 30 June 2021.
We considered this to be a key audit matter due to
the significant management judgments involved in
assessing the carrying value of the asset including:
Determination of whether the expenditure can
be associated with finding specific mineral
resources, and the basis on which that
expenditure is allocated to an area of interest;
Determination of whether exploration activities
have progressed to the stage at which the
existence of an economically recoverable
mineral reserve may be assessed; and
Assessing
whether
any
indicators
of
impairment are present, and if so, judgments
applied
to
determine
and
quantify
any
impairment loss.
Our audit procedures included:

Ensuring that the right to tenure of each area of
interest is current;

Agreeing a sample of additions to supporting
documentation and ensuring the amounts are capital
in nature and relate to the area of interest;

Assessing
and
evaluating
management’s
assessment that no indicators of impairment existed
at the reporting date;

Assessing
management’s
determination
that
exploration and evaluation activities have not yet
reached a stage where the existence or otherwise of
economically
recoverable
reserves
may
be
reasonably determined; and

Enquiring with management and reviewing budgets
and other supporting documentation as evidence that
active and significant operations in, or relation to, the
area of interest will be continued in the future.

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 2021, 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 Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with 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 the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at: https://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar2.pdf. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
