Review of operations
Acquisition of PVW Resources NL
On 3 February 2021, PVW Resources Limited (formerly Thred Limited), the legal parent and legal acquirer, completed the acquisition of PVW Resources NL and its controlled entities ("PVW NL Group"). Prior to this acquisition, PVW Resources Limited has sought Shareholder Approval at its 2020 AGM for a number of transactions including the consolidation of its share capital on a 75:1 basis, the issue of 2,400,000 options and 3,200,000 performance rights to key management personnel, to change the sale and nature of the business and to change the Company name. As part of the acquisition process, the Company made a public offer of $4.5m (22,500,000 shares at $0.20 each) which was fully subscribed and closed on 15 January 2021.
As the acquisition was successful, effective from 9 February 2021, the Company name and ASX code has been changed from Thred Limited (THD) to PVW Resources Limited (PVW). The nature of the business has also changed to a mineral exploration entity. The acquisition is deemed to be completed with the reinstatement to official quotation.

Operations Review
Operationally throughout the last 12 months the Company has continued to explore the three key Project regions of Kalgoorlie, Leonora and the Tanami for Gold. Exploration was also initiated in the Tanami for Rare Earth Elements (REE), an exciting opportunity for multi commodity growth. An exploration and administration team were consolidated to ensure projects and the exploration process are efficient and the right experts are accessible within the group.
PVW Resource’s exploration strategy is to identify and develop concepts into targets that can be tested and validated. As positive results are received from quality, culturally and environmentally responsible exploration programs the projects progress to assessment for economic mineral resources.
The main goal is to identify a significant mineralised system or large deposit. Smaller discoveries will be commercialised where possible, opportunities for divestment, acquisition and organic growth are prioritised as required.

TANAMI
During the period the Company has continued the efforts on the Tanami Project where the potential for a Tier 1 multimillion ounce gold discovery is recognised and the REE potential is being realised with positive REE exploration.
A Heritage agreement is in place with the traditional owners and has allowed work to commence in the field. Heritage surveys and cultural monitoring programs are ongoing, field trips to date have been completed for all work programs. Heritage surveys and surface sampling at Watts Rise and Killi Killi East are complete or in progress, with results pending for both gold and REE analysis.
Subsequent to the reporting period a detailed airborne survey has been completed with approximately 16,000km flown over key areas to allow detailed interpretation of the entire project area.
Traditional gold and REE targets occur in Upper Tanami Group rocks intersected by major structures resulting in complexly deformed zones. As well as traditional targets historic exploration has revealed new target along the Watts Trends. Field work to date has improved the geological understanding of targets along Watts Trend such as Watts Rise and Killi Killi East. When field observations are combined with very significant historical drill results and new geological model these are exciting targets.

Exploration
Watts Rise
The gold mineralisation discovered in the last decade provides a drill ready target at Watts Rise. Along the Watts Trend the possibility of gold mineralisation from the prospect extending along strike is clear and the exploration work programs aim to extend the target. Results previously reported that underpin the Watts Rise prospect drill target include:
-
16m @ 2.48 g/t Au from 60m
-
16m @ 0.88 g/t Au from 52m including 8m @ 1.55 from 52m
-
12m @ 2.94 g/t Au from surface
-
12m @ 1.5 g/t A u from 44m

PVW Resources Limited Directors' report 30 June 2021

Structurally controlled gold mineralisation in the Tanami is well known, with examples such as the Coyote Gold Deposit in close proximity, this style of mineralisation will be a focus for geophysical interpretation and on-ground field campaigns. Regionally the project is less well understood, however there is potential for structurally controlled mineralisation and other styles of mineralisation. Exploration while initially for gold and REE, will consider evaluation for other commodities during geophysical interpretation, targeting and on ground activities.
The Watts Rise mineralisation demonstrates structural controls with increased foliation in mineralised drill intersections and is overall sub-parallel to regional shear zones. It also demonstrates geochemistry associated with typical hydrothermal gold mineralisation, including alteration minerals of sericite, silica, fuchsite and pyrite. The recent field trip to Watts Rise has confirmed the host to mineralisation is a coarse-grained sedimentary unit, logged previously as a conglomerate or a coarse sandstone expected to be immediately below the regional unconformity between Gardiner Sandstone and Killi Killi Formation sedimentary units. The gold mineralisation at Watts Rise is also adjacent to low-grade uranium and REE mineralisation, which are useful geological characteristics as potential vectors to possible gold mineralisation.
Understanding the structural and lithological controls on gold mineralisation at the Watts Rise prospect will be key to unlocking the potential along strike. Previous regional exploration for gold has focused to the North where cover is significantly thicker than is demonstrated along strike from Watts Rise.
Field programs completed subsequent to the reporting period were focused on visiting the historical drill areas, conducting a ground-based review of outcrops, testing samples on the ground with a portable X-ray fluorescence unit (XRF), systematically soil sampling suitable areas along strike and assessing other areas with orientation soil sampling to validate the ultrafine technique over covered areas.
The Airborne geophysical survey was completed in September 2021. The survey of approximately 16,000 line kms, with a 50m line spacing and 30m flying height provides the detailed geophysical data (magnetics and radiometrics) required to complete high resolution coverage of PVW’s Tanami tenure. Southern Geoscience Consultants (SGC) will interpret the geophysical data (predominantly magnetics) at 1:50,000 scale across the entire project area, integrating all available relevant geoscientific information, allowing for the mapping of lithologies and structure. The detailed radiometric data will be particularly useful in identifying further REE targets across the entire Tanami project area. Additional detail at 1:10,000 scale will be carried out over focus areas. Detailed interpretation is proposed to allow planning of drilling and detailed field activities, including ground geophysics and geochemical surveys over gold and REE prospects. The work will comprise the compilation of all available project and regional scale geoscientific data, including the processed aeromagnetic, radiometric, DEM, airborne gravity, satellite, government geology datasets and any company held data.
Killi Killi East
An on-ground review of surface geology and mineralisation has been completed at the Killi Killi East prospect.
The previous holder of the tenement (E80/4029), Orion Metals Limited (‘Orion’), conducted gold and REE exploration at the Killi Killi East prospect between 2010 and 2012. A detailed review and compilation of the drilling data from this program has been completed by PVW, details of which were reported in announcements ASX:PVW 23 Aug 2021, Tanami – Rare Earths results drive exploration program; 6 Sep 2021, Rare Earth Potential Identified at Kill Killi.

PVW Resources Limited Directors' report 30 June 2021
==> picture [86 x 29] intentionally omitted <==
Rare earth mineralisation has been recorded by PVW geologists at Killi Killi East as occurrences over a strike length of approximately 2.2km with elevated portable XRF measurements of yttrium. Yttrium is a REE that is reliably detected by portable XRF methods and a good indicator of rare earth minerals such as xenotime. The rare earth mineralisation has mostly been observed within a basal conglomerate unit of the Pargee Sandstone which unconformably overlies the older Killi Killi Formation. Where mineralised the conglomerate unit is often strongly hematitic but also displays silicification and brecciation. Field evidence suggests the mineralisation is both structurally and lithologically controlled. The REE mineralised “corridor” at Killi Killi East strikes approximately west-northwest, with cross-cutting structures possibly acting as structural traps for mineralisation along this trend, and the basal conglomerate unit providing a suitable lithochemical host.
Figure 5: Drill section showing open mineralisation
==> picture [398 x 267] intentionally omitted <==
The contact between the Pargee Sandstone and the Killi Killi Formation is a regional-scale unconformity of over 18km strike length and is considered prospective for hydrothermal unconformity-related REE mineralisation, examples of which occur across a large part of the Birrindudu Basin (eg. Browns Range, Boulder Ridge). The two main prospect areas, Killi Killi East and Watts Rise occur 12km apart and are both located close to the contact between the Pargee Sandstone and the Killi Killi Formation.
Mineralogical studies previously conducted by Orion identified two main rare earth minerals at Killi Killi, the heavy rare earth mineral xenotime and the light rare earth mineral florencite. This combination of minerals provides a favourable mix of rare earth elements in terms of the in-demand elements used in the manufacture of magnets. PVW is planning to carry out mineralogical studies of samples collected during the recent field program in order to verify this.
PVW’s exploration program is on-going at Killi Killi with soil sampling and ground radiometrics occuring at the time of reporting. PVW Resources exploration program will target faults and structures that transect the regional unconformity and potentially act as conduits for mineralising fluids. Deposits of the hydrothermal unconformity-related style can have a small areal footprint (<200m) which may require detailed geological mapping and close spaced drilling.

KALGOORLIE
The Kalgoorlie Project is situated 30km north of Kalgoorlie near the Broad Arrow Townsite and the Norton Gold Paddington operations. The tenements are located between major operating (or recommencing) gold mines including Golden Cities, Palm, Gordon Sirdar and Kanowna Bell.
Three project areas, Black Flag, King of The West, and Gordon Sirdar (including the Pappy Prospect) comprise the Kalgoorlie Project a total area of approximately 100km[2] . Subsequent to the reporting period the total area was increased to 150km[2] through a tenement swap agreement with Yandal Resources Ltd (E27/570 for 7 Yandal tenements) and acquisition of Stark Resources NL. Together they are a very prospective exploration project across a varied greenstone and granite package. Mineralisation occurring close to the areas is varied and demonstrates the importance of understanding local geological controls.
Gold exploration drilling within the Project is surprisingly sparse and superficial given proximity to infrastructure and operating gold mines. Often overlooked due to the granite dominated tenure, the large holding is a significant opportunity for PVW Resources.

Exploration
King of The West Prospect
Exploration on the King of The West prospect was initiated in 2021 with auger drilling of the northern third of the tenement. The cover is not consistently suitable to surface sampling, however auger drilling (1.2-2.5m deep) has proven very effective with a large contourable gold anomaly identified with the shallow drilling. For a full list of auger results and hole details refer to company announcements ASX:PVW 17 Jun 2021, Kalgoorlie West – Positive Auger Results Outline Targets.
12
PVW Resources Limited Directors' report 30 June 2021
==> picture [86 x 29] intentionally omitted <==
These anomalies are a similar size and tenor to the anomalous gold levels found above other gold mines in the vicinity. Golden Cities with over a million ounces of gold, combining mined and in resource, is a productive mine camp, and was discovered using a similar technique with similar outcomes.
The size of the King of The West anomalies is impressive and the best line of results is on the southern end of the grid, leaving the main anomaly open to the south with a 1.2km section of line returning +50ppb results. Subsequent to the reporting period the grid (400m x 100m spaced samples) has been extended and results are awaited, the grid now covers an area of 6km x 4.4km.
Aircore drilling of the anomalies will be prioritised following the return and interpretation of gold and multielement assay results. Other targets (2-5km south of the auger grid) include Aircore drilling results returned by previous explorers including +1g/t gold from saprolite clays and paleochannel clays. This historical drilling was targeting paleochannel gold mineralisation (gold hosted in transported material) and while effective for the designed purpose has tested a very small area of the tenement and the positive results have not been followed up.

Pappy Prospect (Gordon Sirdar Project)
Initial exploration on E27/571 has focussed on auger drilling of the tenement. The technique has returned anomalous assays from 200m x 100m spaced samples over a strike length of 3.5kms. Centred on positive results traversing E27/571, the Pappy Prospect is a coherent +50ppb Au anomaly of 2.2kms of strike. Complete Pappy Prospect results and hole details can be found in company announcements ASX:PVW 19th April 2021, Kalgoorlie Project – Auger Results Confirm Gold Target and 6th Sept 2021, Kalgoorlie Exploration - Positive Aircore and Auger Results.
The tenement straddles the same stratigraphy that hosts the Gordon Sirdar Deposit to the southeast, is less than 5kms from Palm Gold Deposit (Mulgarrie Mining Centre) to the northwest and adjacent to Yandal Resources Gordons Gold Project (ASX:YRL). The gold anomaly is coincident with a magnetic low marking a significant disconformity between magnetic units. A magnetic low with associated gold anomalism is at the interpreted boundary between intrusive Plagioclase / Hornblende Porphyry and Felsic volcanic lithologies. This is an important control on mineralisation regionally and is likely to be a control at the Pappy Prospect. Polymictic conglomerate / agglomerates are another important lithology at Gordon Sirdar, are also a feature of the prospect.

Mapping confirms the continuation of a Plagioclase / Hornblende Porphyry from Gordon Sirdar into E27/571. This and other anomalies along strike, and on adjacent trends, provide multiple exploration drill targets that will be tested in upcoming drilling programs.

Black Flag Prospect
PVW has received positive assay results from the recently completed Black Flag Aircore drilling program, confirming mineralised structures within the felsic intrusive.
Significant intercepts are from shallow depths below transported cover, which ranges from 16m – 40m. Importantly, the first phase of drilling at Black Flag has shown there is significant gold anomalism in the bedrock, below transported cover. 2021 Results include:
-
3m @ 1.84g/t Au, from 45m
-
4m @ 1.04g/t Au, from 40m
-
4m @ 1.20g/t Au, from 60m
-
7m @ 0.88g/t Au, from 43m including 2m @ 1.78g/t Au, from 43m
Black Flag results were returned subsequent to the reporting period, for a full list of significant intercepts and hole details refer to company announcements ASX:PVW 6th Sept 2021, Kalgoorlie Exploration - Positive Aircore and Auger Results.
The +1g/t intercepts are associated with quartz veining and disseminated sulphides or iron-oxide after sulphides within bedrock. Elevated gold values are also associated with increased shearing and micaceous alteration. There is a strong correlation of historical results and new results with a north-south structure observed in the magnetics. This structure also corresponds with a significant embayment in the magnetic response of greenstone to the west.
Bottom of hole samples have been submitted for multi-element analysis and these will be interpreted once all bottom of hole assays have been returned.
While some historic results have now been followed up with systematic Aircore, there are still numerous point anomalies (for example 1m @ 10.7g/t Au, 1m @ 3.4g/t Au, 4m @ 3.76g/t Au), that also require follow up.
To date drilling has focused on historical gold results, located mostly on the eastern side of the Goldfields Highway. Future campaigns will include exploration on the western side of the highway where greenstones are strongly deformed, along strike from the Panglo Gold deposit (2.5km to the northwest).
The Panglo Unconformity shown on Figure 9, marks an unconformable contact between upper mafic volcanics and a lower sedimentary sequence which includes conglomerates that can be traced north to the east of the Panglo Gold deposit and south to the Kanowna Gold deposits.
Evaluation of the main anomalous trend with systematic Aircore drilling confirms the bedrock anomaly and confirms more detailed drilling, deeper drilling and interpretation is needed to understand the full potential of the Black Flag prospect.

LEONORA
The Leonora Project is located approximately 55km northwest of Leonora in Western Australia. Access to tenements is from the Goldfields Highway or from the Leonora – Agnew Rd at the Bannockburn Mine site. Being close to existing infrastructure and well serviced towns ensures support for field activities. The Jungle Well and Jungle Well North (previously Minotaur) project areas are contiguous along the Mt Clifford Shear Zone. Brilliant Well is east of the Goldfields Highway and covers a complicated greenstone / granite gneiss contact.
Numerous operating gold mines in the region include Thunderbox, and Darlot, with King of the Hills (Red 5) advancing towards production.
Gold has been mined at Jungle Well, with mining of the shallow oxide Jungle Well pit in 1996. Explorers have targeted Nickel at Jungle Well and base metals at Brilliant Well. Limited gold exploration has been completed and PVW believe there is significant potential within all the projects.

Exploration
Brilliant Well Prospect
Exploration commenced at Brilliant Well in the reporting period with both Reverse Circulation (RC) and Aircore drilling progressing during the year. Drilling completed in July 2021 totalled 4 RC holes for 384m and 94 AC holes for 7,166m. Geology intersected in the RC drilling is consistent with the style of deformation, sulphides and veining observed in mineralised intervals from historical Aircore holes. Aircore drilling intersected a variety of lithologies under transported cover, results of the drilling were pending at the time of report compilation.
Some 4km of strike over magnetic anomalies and large interpreted structures will be tested by the completed Aircore drilling as first pass regional exploration with the majority of this 4km having never been drilled.
The presence of transported cover of unknown thickness required the use of Aircore drilling to test these regional targets. Completed drilling activities aim to follow up recent mineralisation intersected by a small Aircore program completed by PVW Resources NL in 2019. The 2019 drilling was designed to test the possible northwest trend of sporadic near surface mineralisation. Previous exploration had tested the regional north-northeast orientation while a northwest strike was inferred at the prospect scale. The north-northeast trend is considered regionally significant and is appropriate for regional exploration targeting. However, significant mineralisation was intersected on the interpreted northwest structure and this has been further investigated with RC drilling to confirm the orientation and the dip of what appears to be mineralisation traversing the regional structural trend.
Results from the other explorers historical drilling and PVW 2019 program as shown on the following figure, include:

Jungle Well Project (M37/135 and E37/909)
PVW has contracted Southern Geoscience Consultants (SGC) to complete a Moving Loop Electromagnetic Survey (MLEM) over the northern extension of historical EM conductors encountered in M37/135. The ground geophysics survey was postponed during the reporting period due to wet ground conditions causing delays on other contracts. The survey was successfully completed subsequent to the reporting period however results and interpretation are pending at the time of compilation.
Historical conductors lie along the Jungle Well mineralised trend, and along parallel trends to the east where the magnetic data maps a complex series of folded and faulted bedrock units. Exploration activities will include further assessment of untested or poorly tested conductors JEM3-10, and JEM2 (north). Follow up activities may include FLEM and / or drilling to test for sulphide-related mineralisation.

Resource Drilling
An infill and extensional RC drilling program was completed at Jungle Well in April 2021 resulting in 33 holes for 2,872m of RC drilling. The program was planned to infill and extend the Jungle Well Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate currently at 26,800oz @ 1.1g/t Au. The drilling has provided adequate new drill data to update the Jungle Well Mineral Resource Estimate which was in progress at the time of report compilation. Results returned subsequent to the end of the reporting year were very positive and include:
-
9m @ 3.87g/t Au from 46m,
-
including 2m @ 16.12g/t Au from 46m
-
7m @ 1.85g/t Au from 99m
-
11m @ 1.89 g/t Au from 86m including 2m @ 7.73 g/t A u from 87m
-
2m @ 5.44 g/t Au from 74m
-
including 1m @ 10.1g/t Au from 75m
-
6m @ 1.69 g/t Au from 86m,

Remuneration report (audited)
The remuneration report details the key management personnel remuneration arrangements for the Group, in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations.
Key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, including all Directors.
The remuneration report is set out under the following main headings:
-
Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
-
Details of remuneration
-
Service agreements
-
Share-based compensation
-
Additional disclosures relating to key management personnel
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
-
transparency
-
capital management
The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase the direct positive relationship between shareholders' investment objectives and Directors' and Executives' performance. Currently, this may be facilitated through the issue of options to Directors and Executives to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests. The Company believes this policy will be effective in increasing shareholder wealth. The Board's policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for Board members and Senior Executive of the Company is as follows:
Non-executive Directors remuneration
The Company's Constitution provides that Directors are entitled to be remunerated for their services as follows:
-
The total aggregate fixed sum per annum to be paid to the Directors (excluding salaries of executive Directors) from time to time will not exceed the sum determined by the Shareholders in general meeting and the total aggregate fixed sum will be divided between the Directors as the Directors shall determine and, in default of agreement between them, then in equal shares.
-
The Directors' remuneration accrues from day to day.
-
The total aggregate fixed sum per annum which may be paid to non-executive Directors is $300,000. This amount cannot be increased without the approval of the Company's Shareholders.
The Directors are entitled to be paid reasonable travelling, accommodation and other expenses incurred by them respectively in or about the performance of their duties as Directors.

Executive remuneration
The Company’s remuneration policy for executive directors and senior management is designed to promote superior performance and long-term commitment to the Company. Executives receive a base remuneration which is market related and may receive performance-based remuneration. The Board reviews Executive packages annually by reference to the Company's performance, executive performance, and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries. Executives are also entitled to participate in employee share and option schemes. An Incentive Option Plan was approved by shareholders on 10 April 2017.
Fixed Remuneration
Other than statutory superannuation contribution, no retirement benefits are provided for Executive and Non-Executive Directors of the Company. To align Directors' interests with shareholder interests, the Directors are encouraged to hold shares in the company.
Performance Based Remuneration – Short-term and long-term incentive structure
The Board will review short-term and long-term incentive structures from time to time. Any incentive structure will be aligned with shareholders' interests.
-
Short-term incentives - No short-term incentives in the form of cash bonuses were granted to Directors during the year.
-
Long-term incentives - The Board has a policy of granting incentive options to executives with exercise prices above market share price. As such, incentive options granted to executives will generally only be of benefit if the executives perform to the level whereby the value of the Group increases sufficiently to warrant exercising the incentive options granted.
The executive Directors will be eligible to participate in any short term and long-term incentive arrangements operated or introduced by the Company (or any subsidiary) from time to time
Consolidated entity performance and link to remuneration
As the Group is in the early stages of development and commercialisation, the Board did not consider earnings during the current and previous financial years when determining the nature and amount of remuneration of KMP.
Use of remuneration consultants
During the financial year, the Company did not engage any remuneration consultants.

PVW Resources Limited Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2021
==> picture [86 x 29] intentionally omitted <==
Note 1. General information
The financial statements cover PVW Resources Limited as a Group consisting of PVW Resources Limited and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year. The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is PVW Resources Limited's functional and presentation currency.
PVW Resources Limited is a listed public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Its registered office and principal place of business is:
Level 3, 1138 Hay Street, West Perth, Western Australia, 6005
The Group is a mining and exploration company.
The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of Directors, on 24 September 2021.
Note 2. Significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out either in the respective notes or below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The Group 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.
Going concern
The Group has a history of incurring trading losses and net cash outflows from operating activities. For the year ended 30 June 2021, the Group incurred a loss of $5,378,155 (2020: $1,716,121) and cash outflows from operating activities of $1,206,821 (2020: $1,471,044). The business has been funded as required via capital raising activities. During the period, the entity completed a share placement and raised $4.2 million (net of capital raising costs) as part of the acquisition.
The Directors have assessed the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and have not identified any significant risks.
Basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').
Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, investment properties, certain classes of property, plant and equipment, share based payments and derivative financial instruments.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 3.
Reverse Acquisition
On 3 February 2021, PVW Resources Limited (formerly Thred Limited), the legal parent and legal acquirer, completed the acquisition of PVW Resources NL and its controlled entities ("PVW NL Group"). Under the Australian Accounting Standards, PVW NL Group was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in this transaction. This acquisition did not meet the definition of a business combination under AASB 3 Business Combinations and instead, has been accounted for as a share-based payment under the principles of AASB 2 Share-Based Payments by which PVW NL Group acquires the net assets and listing status of PVW Resources Limited.

Parent entity information
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the Group only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 27.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of PVW Resources Limited ('Company' or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2021 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. PVW Resources Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'Group'.
Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group 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 Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

PVW Resources Limited Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2021

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Revenue recognition
The Group recognises revenue as follows:
Interest
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
Other revenue
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.
Impairment of non-financial assets
Non-financial assets, other than deferred tax assets ("DTAs") are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds it recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.
New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2021. The Group has not yet assessed the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations.
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.
Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may have, on the Group based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the Group operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the Group unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
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 Binomial or Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.
The Group measures the cost of cash-settled share-based payments at fair value at the grant date using the Binomial or Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted.
36
PVW Resources Limited Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2021
==> picture [86 x 29] intentionally omitted <==
Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued)
This fair value is expensed over the period until vesting with recognition of a corresponding liability. The liability is remeasured to fair value at each balance date up to and including the settlement date with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.
Allowance for expected credit losses
The allowance for expected credit losses assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. It is based on the lifetime expected credit loss, grouped based on days overdue, and makes assumptions to allocate an overall expected credit loss rate for each group. These assumptions include recent sales experience and historical collection rates.
Income tax
The Group is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Group recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on the Group's current understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the carrying amounts, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
Recovery of deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if the Group considers it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Provision for rehabilitation
A provision for restoration and rehabilitation is recognised when there is a present obligation as a result of development activities undertaken, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of the provision can be measured reliably. The estimated future obligations include the costs of abandoning sites, removing facilities and restoring the affected areas.
The provision for future restoration costs is the best estimate of the present value of the expenditure required to settle the restoration obligation at the balance date. Future restoration costs are reviewed annually and any changes in the estimate are reflected in the present value of the restoration provision at each balance date.
The initial estimate of the restoration and rehabilitation provision is capitalised into the cost of the related asset and amortised on the same basis as the related asset, unless the present obligation arises from the production of inventory in the period, in which case the amount is included in the cost of production for the period. Changes in the estimate of the provision for restoration and rehabilitation are treated in the same manner, except that the unwinding of the effect of discounting on the provision is recognised as a finance cost rather than being capitalised into the cost of the related asset.
Note 4. Reverse Acquisition
Acquisition of PVW Resources NL
On 3 February 2021, PVW Resources Limited (formerly Thred Limited), the legal parent and legal acquirer, completed the acquisition of PVW NL Group. Under the Australian Accounting Standards, PVW NL Group was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in this transaction. This acquisition did not meet the definition of a business combination under AASB 3 Business Combinations and instead, has been accounted for as a share-based payment under the principles of AASB 2 Share-Based Payments by which PVW NL Group acquires the net assets and listing status of PVW Resources Limited.
Deemed consideration payable was the issue of 24,242,424 shares in PVW Resources Limited to the shareholders of PVW NL group deemed to have a value of $4,848,485.

Note 5. Operating segments
Identification of reportable operating segments
The Group operates only in one business and geographical segment being predominantly in the area of mineral exploration and exploitation in Western Australia. The Group considers its business operations in mineral exploration and exploitation to be its primary reporting function.
These operating segments are based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (who are identified as the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM')) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. There is no aggregation of operating segments.
Accounting policy for operating segments
Unless otherwise stated, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors as the CODM with respect to operating segments, are determined in accordance with AASB 8 Operating Segments.

Accounting policy on exploration expenses
Exploration, evaluation and acquisition costs are expensed in the year they are incurred. Development costs are capitalised. Development expenditure is recognised at cost less accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses. Exploration and evaluation expenditure is classified as development expenditure once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting the related mineral resource is demonstrable. Where commercial production in an area of interest has commenced, the associated costs together with any forecast future capital expenditure necessary to develop proved and probable reserves are amortised over the estimated economic life of the mine on a units-of-production basis.
Changes in factors such as estimates of proved and probable reserves that affect unit-of-production calculations are dealt with on a prospective basis.

The above potential tax benefit for tax losses has not been recognised in the statement of financial position. These tax losses can only be utilised in the future if the continuity of ownership test is passed, or failing that, the same business test is passed.
The losses have not been brought to account because the Directors do not believe it is appropriate to regard realisation of those deferred tax assets as being probable. The benefit of these deferred tax assets will only be obtained if:
-
The Group derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions for the temporary differences to be realized
-
The Group continues to comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by tax legislation
-
No change in tax legislation adversely affect the Group is realizing the benefit from the deductions for the temporary difference.
Accounting policy for income tax
The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.
40
PVW Resources Limited Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2021
==> picture [86 x 29] intentionally omitted <==
Note 8. Income tax (continued)
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for:
-
When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or
-
When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously.

The weighted average number of shares outstanding for the year ended 30 June 2021 is based on the weighted average number of shares of PVW Resources Limited outstanding in the period following the acquisition.
Accounting policy for earnings per share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of PVW Resources Limited, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial year.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the cost of serviceing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, the after income tax effect of dividends, interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses, other discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares, and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares adjusted for any bonus element.

Accounting policy for plant and equipment
Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset.
Depreciation is calculated on a diminishing value basis to write off the net cost of each item of plant and equipment over their expected useful lives as follows:
| Motor Vehicles | 10 years |
|---|---|
| Computer Equipment | 4 years |
| Office Equipment | 10 years |
The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the Group. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss.

|---|---|---|---|

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

Accounting policy for trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
Due to the short term nature of these payables, their carrying value is assumed to approximate their fair value.

Accounting policy for lease liabilities
A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down.

Rehabilitation
The provision for rehabilitation relates to the estimated cost of rehabilitation work to be carried out in relation to the Jungle Well tenement.
Accounting policy for provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable the Group 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 finance cost.

Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave, long service leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Non-accumulating sick leave is expensed to profit or loss when incurred.

Valuation and input
For the options granted during the current financial year, the valuation model inputs used to determine the fair value at the grant date, are as follows:
| Share price | Exercise | Expected | Dividend | Risk-free | Fair value | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grant date | Expiry date | at grant date | price | volatility | yield | interest rate | at grant date |
| 30/01/2021 | 29/02/2024 | $0.0000 | $0.3000 | 97.00% | - | 0.08% | $0.1060 |
Accounting policy for share-based payments
Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees.
Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange for the rendering of services. Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash for the exchange of services, where the amount of cash is determined by reference to the share price.
50
PVW Resources Limited Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2021
==> picture [86 x 29] intentionally omitted <==
Note 22. Share-based payments (continued)
The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do not determine whether the Group receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions.
The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods.
The cost of cash-settled transactions is initially, and at each reporting date until vested, determined by applying either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into consideration the terms and conditions on which the award was granted. The cumulative charge to profit or loss until settlement of the liability is calculated as follows:
-
during the vesting period, the liability at each reporting date is the fair value of the award at that date multiplied by the expired portion of the vesting period.
-
from the end of the vesting period until settlement of the award, the liability is the full fair value of the liability at the reporting date.
All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss. The ultimate cost of cash-settled transactions is the cash paid to settle the liability.
Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore any awards subject to market conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are satisfied.
If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.
If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the Group or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the Group or employee and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited.
If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award is treated as if they were a modification.
Note 23. Financial risk management
The main risk the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk consisting of interest rate, foreign currency risk and equity price risk.
The Board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. The Board adopts practices designed to identify significant areas of business risk and to effectively manage those risks in accordance with the Group's risk profile. This includes assessing, monitoring and managing risks for the Group and setting appropriate risk limits and controls. The Group is not of a size nor is its affairs of such complexity to justify the establishment of a formal system for risk management and associated controls. Instead, the Board approves all expenditure, is intimately acquainted with all operations and discuss all relevant issues at the Board meetings. The operational and other compliance risk management have also been assessed and found to be operating efficiently and effectively.
Market risk
Foreign currency risk
Exposure to foreign exchange risk may result in the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument fluctuating due to movement in foreign exchange rates of currencies in which the Group holds financial instruments which are other than the AUD functional currency of the Group.

Note 23. Financial risk management (continued)
The Group has no material exposure to foreign exchange risk.
Price risk
Price risk relates to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The Group does not presently hold material amounts subject to price risk. As such the Board considers price risk as a low risk to the Group.
Interest rate risk
Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at the end of the reporting period whereby a future change in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of fixed rate financial instruments. The Group is also exposed to earnings volatility on floating rate instruments.
Due to the low amount of debt exposed to floating interest rates, interest rate risk is not considered a high risk to the Group. Movement in interest rates on the Group's financial liabilities and assets is not material.
The following table illustrates sensitivities to the Group's exposures to changes in interest rates. The table indicates the impact on how profit and equity values reported at balance sheet date would have been affected by changes in the relevant risk variable that management considers to be reasonably possible. These sensitivities assume that the movement in a particular variable is independent of other variables.
| Basis points increase | Basis points increase | Basis points increase | Basis points decrease | Basis points decrease | Basis points decrease | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Effect on | Effect on | |||||
| Basis points | profit before |
Effect on | Basis points | profit before | Effect on | |
| 2021 | change | tax | equity | change | tax | equity |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 50 | 3,125 | 3,125 | (50) | (3,125) | (3,125) |
The sensitivity analysis above is based on the interest rates in the period following the acquisition. There were no interest rate exposure in the prior year.
Credit risk
Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counterparties of contract obligations that could lead to a financial loss to the Group. The objective of the Group is to minimise the risk of loss from credit risk. Although revenue from operations is minimal, the Group trades only with creditworthy third parties. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group's exposure to bad debts is insignificant. The Group's maximum credit risk exposure is limited to the carrying value of its financial assets as indicated on the statement of financial position.
Generally, trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators of this include the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan, no active enforcement activity and a failure to make contractual payments for a period greater than 1 year.
The Group has adopted a forward looking expected credit loss model. The Group uses the general approach to impairment, as applicable under AASB 9: Financial Instruments. Under the general approach, at each reporting period, the Group assesses whether the financial instruments are credit-impaired, and if:
-
the credit risk of the financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group measures the loss allowance of the financial instruments at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses; or
-
there is no significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the Group measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses.
Allowance for expected credit losses
The Group has recognised a loss of $nil (2020: $nil) in profit or loss in respect of the expected credit losses for the year ended 30 June 2021.
Liquidity risk
Vigilant liquidity risk management requires the Group to maintain sufficient liquid assets (mainly cash and cash equivalents) and available borrowing facilities to be able to pay debts as and when they become due and payable.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.
52
PVW Resources Limited Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2021
==> picture [86 x 29] intentionally omitted <==
Note 23. Financial risk management (continued)
The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and ensuring sufficient cash and marketable securities are available to meet the current and future commitments of the Group.
Typically, the Group ensures that it has sufficient cash to meet expected operational expenses for a period of 60 days, including the servicing of financial obligations; this excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters.
Remaining contractual maturities
The following tables detail the Group's remaining contractual maturity for its financial instrument liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the financial liabilities are required to be paid. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows disclosed as remaining contractual maturities and therefore these totals may differ from their carrying amount in the statement of financial position.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF PVW RESOURCES LIMITED
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of PVW Resources Limited (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries (“the Consolidated Entity”), 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:
-
a. the accompanying financial report of the Consolidated Entity is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
-
(i) giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity’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.
-
b. the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 2.
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 Consolidated Entity 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 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 the Key Audit Matter
Accounting for Reverse Acquisition
As disclosed in note 4 of the Consolidated Financial statements, on the 3[rd] February 2021, PVW Resources Limited (formerly Thred Limited) completed the reverse acquisition of PVW Resources NL via the issue of 24,242,424 shares in PVW Resources Limited to the shareholders of PVW NL group, with a deemed value of $4,848,485
This resulted in PVW NL Group becoming the accounting acquirer.
This is a key audit matter due to the size of the acquisition with a deemed purchase consideration of $4,848,485 and the complexities inherent in a reverse acquisition.
The acquisition did not meet the definition of a business combination under AASB 3 “Business Combinations” and instead has been accounted for as a share-based payment under the principles of AASB 2 “Share-Based Payments” by which PVW NL Group acquires the net assets and listing status of PVW Resources Limited.
Our procedures amongst others included:
-
Evaluation of management’s assessment of the combining entities to determine who obtained control as a result of the transaction.
-
Review of signed contractual agreements relating to the acquisition and understanding the key terms and conditions of the transaction;
-
Assessment of the calculation of the deemed consideration with underlying information inputs including share price with the terms of the acquisition agreement;
-
Review of acquisition date balance sheet to acquisition agreement and underlying supporting documentation;
-
Review of consolidation of the combining entities in line with reverse acquisition accounting requirements.
-
We assessed the appropriateness of the disclosures included in Notes 2 and 4 to the financial report.
Share Based Payments – $3,440,286
Our procedures included, amongst others:
(Refer to Note 22)
As disclosed in note 22 in the financial statements, during the year ended 30 June 2021, the Company incurred share-based payments totalling $3,440,286. ($3,016,172 relates to Reverse Acquisition listing expenses as detailed in Note 4).
-
Analysing contractual agreements to identify the key terms and conditions of share based payments issued and relevant vesting conditions in accordance with AASB 2 Share Based Payments;
-
Evaluating management’s Black-Scholes Valuation Models and assessing the assumptions and inputs used;
Share based payments are considered to be a key audit matter due to

Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Consolidated Entity’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2021, but does not include the financial report and our 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 Note 2, the directors also state in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements , that the financial report complies with International Financial Reporting Standards.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Consolidated Entity’s ability 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 Consolidated Entity or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
==> picture [595 x 63] intentionally omitted <==
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.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Consolidated Entity’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Consolidated Entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Consolidated Entity to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Consolidated Entity to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Consolidated Entity audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
==> picture [595 x 63] intentionally omitted <==
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Report on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2021. The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the remuneration report in accordance with s 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the remuneration report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
Auditor’s Opinion
In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of the Company, for the year ended 30 June 2021, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 .
