CHAIRPERSON’S REPORT
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
On Behalf of your Board of Directors, it is with great pleasure that I write to you and present the Zeus Resources Ltd (“Zeus” or “the Company”) Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2021.
The last financial year was strongly dominated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite all challenges arisen from COVID-19 namely, global border closures and restrictions to travel and work, the Company has been actively seeking avenues to improving our financial position, keeping the existing tenements in good order whilst generating new projects.
Tenements Exploration
With regards to the continued legislative position of the Western Australian State Government, the Company is not able to actively explore for uranium in Western Australia without an exemption from the Minister for Mining, WA.
Exploration efforts during the year have remained focused on the planning of follow up exploration programs at the Company’s remaining Wiluna Project (E53/1603) and Mortimer Hills Project (E09/2147).
Due to the ongoing restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic and as a Sydney based company, the Company has engaged with WA local contract geologists to carry out the field work.
New Project Exploration
The Company has signed a one-year agreement with Cloud Securities Pte. Ltd. (“Cloud Securities”). Cloud Securities is a Singapore based and agrees to locate and introduce to the Company, prospective mining tenements and/or projects both in Australia and/or internationally. The Company will keep investigating new mining projects in uranium, gold, copper, and other metals. The project locations will not be limited to Australia; countries located in South-East Asia and Africa will be also considered. However, there is no guarantee that the Company will identify a viable project and develop it successfully.
Financial Position
The Company successfully controlled operating costs within its budget during the relatively slow-moving mining market in the past few years.
The capital pressure faced by Zeus has been greatly eased by the placement in June 2021 and by exercising options in August. As the result, the Company had $1.85 million cash in its bank account at the end of August with no debt. Now Zeus has sufficient funds to carry out field work for the existing WA tenements; do investigation for new projects; and maintain the normal operation of the Company.
The recovery of the mining market has increased the confidence to develop the Company. The next step will be to adopt a more active strategy to grow the Company. Investors’ continued support would assist with investing on new projects.
4
CHAIRPERSON’S REPORT
We note that the ASX has suspended quotation of the Company’s securities under Listing Rule 17.3 with immediate effect, as ASX has determined that ZEU’s operations are not adequate to warrant the continued quotation of its securities for the purposes of Listing Rule 12.1.
As stated before, the Company has been actively planning to source fieldwork on tenements and introducing new exploration projects and has successfully completed a Placement to raise funds for the exploration of its WA projects for the next period and commence investigation of new projects. The Company will execute the planned exploration work and investigating new mining projects whilst continuing to work with the ASX to demonstrate compliance with Listing 12.1.
We are very delighted that investors have strongly supported our strategy and welcome new shareholders to join our company. I look forward to sharing with you the achievements of Zeus during the year ahead.

Exploration Program
The Company’s exploration program for 2021-2022 as follows.
Mortimer Hills Project (E09/2147)
Exploration licence E09/2147 is situated in the Gascoyne Province at the western end of the Capricorn Orogen. The project area covers basement rocks of the Proterozoic Morrissey Metamorphic suite which hosts a late stage granitoid intrusive which extends along ~13km of strike extent. The Morrissey suite consists of metamorphosed pelitic sediments (quartz-muscovite-biotite+-garnet schist) and quartzite enclosed in large migmatitic areas, with limited amphibolites.
Zeus considers Lithium-Caesium-Tantalum (LCT) bearing pegmatites to be the main exploration target on its E09/2147 tenement.
A two-phase exploration program envisaged for the tenement is:
-
Phase 1 - Exploration Mapping & Rock Chip sampling to locate targets for RC drilling;
-
Phase 2 - RC drilling of 20-25 holes targeting identified lithium pegmatites and selected ironstone gossans. This would allow testing of 4-6 targets.
Despite COVID restrictions and lockdown, the Company commenced Phase 1 of exploration work of Mortimer Hills on 16 September 2021. Ground mapping is planned as a series of 1km spaced SW-NE traverses across the strike of the Morrisey Metamorphic Suite and Ti-Tree syncline and aims to identify LCT Pegmatites and ironstone/Base-metal gossans. Further infill traverses will be conducted as required. Approximately 40km of ground traversing is planned as part of Phase 1 Work.
The Company intends to submit a Program of Work for a program of RC drilling following the completion of the phase 1 field work. The phase 2 drilling will be subject to review based on the results obtained from mapping and sampling traverses. Drill planning at this stage is indicative.
Given that the Covid-19 restrictions are still in place, the Company has engaged a consultant geologist in WA for field work services on a contract basis, and the consultant geologist is on site at the tenement as at the date of this report.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Wiluna Project (E53/1603)
Exploration licence E53/1603 is located within the Wiluna Mining District of the East Murchison Mineral Field within northern Goldfields region of Western Australia. The E53/1603 tenement covers portions of the southerly trending Kukububba Palaeo-channel which drains into Lake Way. The palaeo-channel overlies a mixture of greenstone and granite.
Past exploration has established that greenstone lithologies occur as basement highs within the project area and that these greenstones have not previously been assessed for gold mineralisation. As a result the exploration objective has been adjusted explore for Archaean lode gold mineralisation beneath the Tertiary sediments infilling the palaeo-channel.
A three-phase exploration program is planned for the tenement:
-
Phase 1 office compilation of 3D channel model plus aeromagnetic interpretation;
-
Phase 2 Gravity survey, interpretation of shallow greenstone and integration with Phase 1;
-
Phase 3 Drilling of targets to get coverage of entire tenement.
Recovery of basal sands from previous drilling should allow assaying of gold content to detect palaeo-alluvial gold from adjacent sides of the channel.
Drilling of greenstone targets and shear zones is intended to be completed to sample for trace elements associated with gold mineralisation which have much greater dispersion than gold mineralisation.
Depending on the results of Phase 1, the Company proposes to carry out the gravity survey and interpretation and integration with Phase 1. The Company intends to submit a Program of Work with drilling planned to commence in early 2022 which will be subject to review and having regard to results obtained from the earlier work. Drill planning at this stage is indicative.
Narnoo Project (E28/2097)
Based on the recommendations from the Company’s tenement manager with regards to changes in legislation, the Company is not able to actively explore for uranium within the Narnoo project due to the Government imposed restrictions relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company expects to meet with the minimum required expenditure commitment by the renewal date of the tenement of 8 May 2022.
The exploration work on this project will not be carried out at this stage, however further evaluation of the tenement will occur as to what direction to take with exploration of this tenement in the future.

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)
This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each key management personnel (KMP) of the Company which includes directors and senior executives. KMP are those individuals that have the authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company.
Remuneration Policy
The board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for board members and senior executives of the Company is as follows:
The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior executives, was developed and approved by the Board. All executives are to receive remuneration based on factors such as length of service and experience.
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. The objective of this policy is to secure and retain the services of suitable individuals capable of contributing to the entity’s strategic objectives.
The remuneration framework the board established has three components:
-
Fixed remuneration consisting of base pay and benefits, including superannuation,
-
Short-term performance incentives and bonuses,
-
Long-term incentives through issuances of share options.
The combination of these comprises the executive's total remuneration.
Fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary, superannuation and non-monetary benefits, are reviewed annually by the board, based on individual and business unit performance, the overall performance of the entity and comparable market remunerations. Executives may receive their fixed remuneration in the form of cash or other fringe benefits (for example motor vehicle benefits) where it does not create any additional costs to the entity and provides additional value to the executive.
15
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Remuneration Policy continued
The short-term incentives ('STI') program is designed to align the targets of the business units with the targets of those executives responsible for meeting those targets. STI payments are granted to executives based on specific annual targets and key performance indicators ('KPI's') being achieved. KPI's include increasing shareholders’ value, completion of target projects, management of tenements and overall management of the operations of Company.
The long-term incentives ('LTI') program comprises of share-based payments. Shares are awarded to executives over a period of three years based on long-term incentive measures. These include increase in shareholders’ value relative to the entire market and the increase compared to the entity's direct competitors.
At issue date of this report there are no Key Management personnel have received “STI” or “LTI” benefits.
The Board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The Board determines payments to the non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Board members are appointed at the General Meeting at which they nominated. Board members do not receive a specific service engagement contract. Executives are engaged using a service agreement contract which will specify annual targets and key performance indicators.
The Board does not currently link KMP or director’s remuneration to specific market-based goals or targets due to stage of development of the Company’s projects or overall Company performance. Individual performance-based goals are set by the Company to ensure that exploration, project evaluation and administration tasks are performed efficiently and to the benefit of stakeholders.
The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. The maximum aggregate amount for the financial year ending 30 June 2021 was $20,000, with $15,000 per annum to be paid to Mr Greg Hall and $5,000 to be paid per annum to Mr Jian Liu. The other members of the Board have adopted a policy decision made by the Board not to receive remuneration during the financial year ended 30 June 2021. A review of the Board remuneration was not undertaken during the financial year end 2021, except for the remuneration to Mr Jian Liu and a continuation of the remuneration rate previously agreed to be paid to Mr Greg Hall.
Voting and comments made at the company's 2020 Annual General Meeting ('AGM')
At the 2020 AGM, adoption of the remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2020 was approved by the shareholders.

Remuneration and Earnings additional information
The Board does not currently link KMP or director’s remuneration to specific market-based goals or targets due to stage of development of the Company’s projects or overall Company performance.
However, to conserve cash the Company has reduced payments to Key Management Personnel (KMP) over the preceding five-year period. The Board did not review the remuneration of the CEO during the financial year due to the role currently being performed by Mr Jiangang Zhao. The Company has not awarded any short-term or long-term incentives to KMP as of the date of this report or over the preceding five-year period. The reduction of fixed remuneration payments made to KMP, instigated by the Board, is indicated in the table below:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements have been approved by the board on the date of signing.
The principal activity of the Company during the year was the exploration for uranium and other base metals. The Company operates as a for profit entity.
A. Basis of accounting
This general-purpose financial report has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Accounting Standards board.
- (i) Compliance with IFRS:
The financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB),
- (ii) Historical Cost Convention:
These financial reports are prepared under the historical cost convention.
- (iii) Critical Accounting Estimates:
The presentation of financial statements requires the use certain critical accounting estimates. The Company also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the accounting policies. The areas involving a high degree or judgement or complexity or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements is disclosed later. See part G.
-
(iv) Foreign currency transactions and balances:
-
Items included in the financial statements are measured using Australian Dollars (functional currency of Zeus Resources Ltd).
Changes in Accounting Policies
The Company has adopted all the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that were relevant to the Company’s operations and effective for the current year. The Company adopted:
AASB2018-6 amends AASB 3 to clarify the definition of a business, assisting entities to determine whether a transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or as an asset acquisition. The amendments:
-
clarify that to be considered a business, an acquired set of activities and assets must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs;
-
remove the assessment of whether market participants are capable of replacing any missing inputs or processes and continuing to produce outputs;
-
add guidance and illustrative examples to help entities assess whether a substantive process has been acquired;
-
narrow the definitions of a business and of outputs by focusing on goods and services provided to customers and by removing the reference to an ability to reduce costs; and
-
add an optional concentration test that permits a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business.
The Company has concluded that adopting this amendment for the year ended 30 June 2021 there were no material impacts on the financial statements.
AASB 2018-7 principally amends AASB 101 and AASB 108. The amendments refine the definition of material in AASB 101. The amendments clarify the definition of material and its application by improving the wording and aligning the definition across the Australian Accounting Standards and other publications. The amendment also includes some supporting requirements in AASB 101 in the definition to give it more prominence and clarifies the explanation accompanying the definition of material.
The Company has concluded that adopting this amendment for the year ended 30 June 2021 there were no material impacts on the financial statements.
28
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Changes in Accounting Policies continued:
AASB 2019-1 amends Australian Accounting Standards, Interpretations and other pronouncements to reflect the issuance of the revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework). The application of Conceptual Framework is limited to
-
For profit entities that have public accountability
-
Other for-profit entities that voluntarily elect to apply the Conceptual Framework
The Company has concluded that adopting this amendment for the year ended 30 June 2021 there were no material impacts on the financial statements.
AASB 2019-5 makes amendments to AASB 1054 Australian Additional Disclosures by adding a disclosure requirement for an entity intending to comply with IFRS standards to disclose the information specified in paragraphs 30 and 31 of AASB 108 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors on the potential effect of an IFRS standard that has not yet been issued by the AASB. This ensures that for-profit publicly accountable entities complying with Australian Accounting Standards can assert compliance with IFRS standards.
The Company has concluded that additional disclosure may be necessary if there are any pronouncements made by the International Accounting Standards Board that have not yet been issued by the AASB at the date of the Company’s authorisation of its financial reports.
B. Income tax
The charge for current income tax expense is based on the profit for the year adjusted for any non-assessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or are substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is accounted for using the liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the statement of statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the Company will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.
C. Financial instruments
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Payables
Payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are generally settled between 7 days and 90 days terms.
29
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
D. Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event and it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount. If the effect of time value of money is material, provisions are discounted at a rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability.
E. Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Income, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.
The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows. Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis.
F. Exploration and evaluation expenditure policy
Exploration and evaluation expenditure comprise of costs that are directly attributable to:
-
researching and analysing existing exploration data;
-
conducting geological studies, exploratory drilling and sampling;
-
construction of access roads where necessary for exploration drilling;
-
examining and testing extraction and treatment methods; and
-
compiling pre-feasibility and feasibility studies.
Exploration and evaluation expenditure also include the costs incurred in acquiring mineral rights, the entry premiums paid to gain access to areas of interest and amounts payable to third parties to acquire interests in existing projects.
Capitalisation of exploration expenditure commences when there is a reasonable level of confidence in the project’s viability and hence it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Company. Capitalised exploration expenditure is reviewed for impairment at the end of the reporting period. Subsequent recovery of the resulting carrying value depends on successful development of the area of interest or sale of the project. If a project does not prove viable, all unrecoverable costs associated with the project and the related impairment provisions are written off.
Undeveloped properties are mineral concessions where the intention is to develop and go into production in due course. The carrying values of assets are reviewed annually by management and the results of these reviews are reported to the Board and is assessed based on a status report regarding Zeus Resources intentions for development of the undeveloped property. Reviews are performed using the fair value less costs of disposal method.
30
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
G. 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, income 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.
Recovery of deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if the Company considers it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Exploration and evaluation costs
Exploration and evaluation costs have been capitalised on the basis that the Company will commence commercial production in the future, from which time the costs will be amortised in proportion to the depletion of the mineral resources. Key judgements are applied in considering costs to be capitalised which includes determining expenditures directly related to these activities and allocating overheads between those that are expensed and capitalised. In addition, costs are only capitalised that are expected to be recovered either through successful development or sale of the relevant mining interest. Factors that could impact the future commercial production at the mine include the level of reserves and resources, future technology changes, which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes and changes in commodity prices. To the extent that capitalised costs are determined not to be recoverable in the future, they will be written off in the period in which this determination is made.
H. Income Recognition
- (i) Interest earned
Income from interest earned on investments is recognised on a time proportion using the effective interest rate method. (ii) Net gains on disposal of assets, which is recognised as at the date the control of the asset passes from the company.
I. Contributed equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in the equity division of the statement of financial position as a deduction net of any tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options for the acquisition of a business are not included in the cost of acquisition as part of the purchase consideration and are expensed as incurred.
J. Property, plant and equipment
(i) Acquisition
Items of property, plant and equipment are recorded at historical cost and, are depreciated as outlined below. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income during the period in which they are incurred.
31
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Property, plant and equipment continued:
(ii) Depreciation and amortisation
The following indicates the depreciation method for plant and equipment on which the depreciation charges are based:
-
straight-line basis over their useful operating life
-
Plant and equipment other than computers – five years
-
Plant and equipment - computers – three years
-
Furniture & fittings – ten years
-
Leasehold Improvements – term of lease.
K. Earnings per share
(i) Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net loss after income tax attributable to members of the Company, 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 year.
(ii) Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.
L. Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in uses, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risk specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income. Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and other intangible assets not yet available for use. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
M. Employee Benefits
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in current liabilities in respect of employees' services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date, when it arises, will be recognised in non-current liabilities, provided there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability. The liability is measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees.

N. Farm-out arrangements
The Company does not record any expenditure made by the farmee on its account. It also does not recognise any gain or loss on its exploration and evaluation farm-out arrangements but designates any costs previously capitalised in relation to the whole interest as relating to the partial interest retained. Any cash consideration received from a farmee is credited directly against previously capitalised purchase values in relation to the whole interest previously and with any excess account for by the farmor as a gain on disposal.
O. Right-of-use Assets
Initial Measurement - A right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost comprising the initial measurement of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made before the commencement date (reduced by lease incentives received), plus initial direct costs incurred in obtaining the lease and an estimate of costs to be incurred in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease. . Subsequent Measurement - A right-of-use asset is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and adjusted for any remeasurement of the corresponding lease liability. Depreciation: Rightof-use assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and the useful life of the asset. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
-
Equipment Leases: Term of Lease
-
Premises Leases: Term of Lease
P. Lease Liabilities
Initial Measurement - A lease liability is initially recognised at the commencement day and measured at an amount equal to the present value of the lease payments during the lease term that are not yet paid. The provision for any restoration costs or make good is recognised as a separate liability.
Subsequent Measurement – A Lease liability is subsequently measured at initial measurement less any subsequent lease payments and adjusted for any remeasurement of the corresponding right-of-use asset. Payments: - lease payments are classified consistently with payments on other financial liabilities:
-
The part of the lease payment that represents cash payments for the principal portion of the lease liability is presented as a cash flow resulting from financing activities.
-
The part of the lease payment that represents interest portion of the lease liability is presented as an operating cash flow.
The duration of the lease liability shall be equivalent to the term of the lease at initial recognition.

Q. Accounting Standards and Interpretations for application in future periods
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Company for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2021. The Company's assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the Company, are set out below.
AASB 2014-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture The amendments clarify that a full gain or loss is recognised when a transfer to an associate or joint venture involves a business as defined in AASB 3 Business Combinations. Any gain or loss resulting from the sale or contribution of assets that does not constitute a business, however, is recognised only to the extent of unrelated investors’ interests in the associate or joint venture. Effective for periods beginning 1 January 2022
AASB 2017-5 Amendments to AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements (July 2015), AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (August 2015) and the other Standards and Interpretation listed in paragraph 1 of the Standard. Effective for periods beginning 1 January 2022.
AASB 2020-1 makes amendments to AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements to clarify requirements for the presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial position as current or noncurrent. Effective for periods beginning 1 January 2023.
AASB 2020-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Annual Improvements 2018– 2020 and Other Amendments. Effective for periods beginning 1 January 2022.
AASB 2020-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2 - September 2020. Effective for periods beginning 1 January 2021
AASB 2021-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosure of Accounting Policies and Definition of Accounting Estimates. Effective for periods beginning 1 January 2023.
The Company has reviewed the proposed amendments and does not expect the abovementioned amendment to significantly impact future or past financial statements.
R. Going Concern
For the financial year ended 30 June 2021 the Company recorded a loss of $243,359 (2021: $834,620). Net cash outflows from operating activities amounted to $191,256 (2020: $214,397) and maintained net assets of $1,893,425 (2020: $1,398,899) which was mainly representative of cash and tenement assets. Since listing the Company has not yet reported profitable operations. The board is closely monitoring the remaining tenements and controlling cash outflows on these tenements and operational activities. The Company successfully raised capital by way of share issue in June 2021, this share issue substantially increased the Net asset position and the viability of the Company to be able to continue to operate and explore investment opportunities.
The financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company is a going concern which predicates ongoing normal business activity, realisation of assets and settlements of liabilities in the normal course of business over the next 12 months’ period for the following reasons:
-
The Board performs continuous assessment on the recoverability of tenements held at each reporting period; and
-
The Board has prepared a detail cash flow for the next 24 months which reflects the Company’s ability to pay debts as and when the fall due; and
-
The Board is continuing to pursue the opportunity to establish a profitable gold exploration base in a South-East Asian venture or in Africa.
If the Company is unsuccessful in these endeavours, it may not be able to continue as a going concern and it would be required to realised it assets and discharge its liabilities other than in the course of ordinary business and the amounts realised may differ from those stated in these financial statements. This financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and the classification of recorder asset amounts or liabilities that might be necessary should the Company not continue as a going concern.

The tax losses and deferred tax assets do not expire under current tax legislation. Deferred tax assets have not been recognised in respect of these items because it is not yet probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the Company can utilise the benefits. The benefit of these tax losses will only be obtained if:
-
The company continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by tax legislation; and
-
The Company derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions for the losses to be realised.
-
No changes in tax legislation adversely affects the Company realising the benefit from the deductions for the losses.

Valuation
The value of the Company interest in exploration expenditure is dependent upon:
-
the continuance of the Company’s rights to tenure of the areas of interest;
-
the results of future exploration; and
-
the recoupment of costs through successful development and exploitation of the areas of interest, or by their sale.
The Company’s exploration properties may be subjected to claim(s) under Native Title (or jurisdictional equivalent) or contain sacred sites, or sites of significance to the indigenous people of Australia.
As a result, exploration properties or areas within the tenements may be subject to exploration restrictions, mining restrictions and/or claims for compensation. As of the date of this Annual Report it was not possible to quantify whether such claims exist, or the quantum of such claims.
`Impairment Losses
There were no Impairment losses recognised for the year against tenements that the Company holds (2020: $574,090). The list of tenements in which the Company has an interest is disclosed on page 52.
