Exploration Program
No fieldwork was completed during the period on the tenements managed by Zeus Resources Ltd.
Wiluna Project
The Wiluna Project now consists of one exploration licence, E53/1603 (5 Blocks) covering part of the Kukkuburra Palaeochannel. There is no immediate plan for a drilling program at the Wiluna Project, but this is subject to an ongoing review by the Board. Further exploration and evaluation of the tenement has been impeded for the past year due to the Covid19 pandemic and closure of the border and restrictions on intrastate travel in Western Australia. A small exploration program is currently being considered in the near future. The Company intends to retain an interest in this tenement in the near future and renew the tenement license as it comes due.
Narnoo Project
The Narnoo Project comprises of one exploration licence E28/2097 (5 Blocks). There are no immediate plans for follow up drilling of the Narnoo South (E28/2097) uranium prospect, but this is subject to ongoing review by the Board. As per the Wiluna project, a small exploration and evaluation program of works is planned in the near future in 2021. The works will concentrate on the feasibility of the remaining blocks held by Zeus Resources Ltd and the tenement’s prospectivity for other minerals. The Company intends to renew this tenement license in May 2021 and is currently completing the extension application required by the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety of WA.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
==> picture [35 x 35] intentionally omitted <==
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Statement of compliance
The interim financial report is a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, AASB 134 ‘Interim Financial Reporting and other pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (“AASB”). Compliance with AASB ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS34 Interim Financial Reporting.
The principal accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous Financial Year ended 30 June 2020 unless otherwise stated.
This general-purpose financial report for the interim half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2020 has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
This interim report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the annual report of Zeus Resources Limited for the year ended 30 June 2020 and any public announcements made by Zeus Resources Limited during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the Australian Securities Exchange Listing Rules.
The financial statements have been approved by the Board on the date of signing.
b. Basis of Preparation
The interim financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost. Cost is based on the fair values of consideration given in exchange for assets. The Company is domiciled in Australia and all amounts are presented in Australian dollars (unless otherwise indicated).
The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the interim financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the Company’s financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2020.
c. New Standards and Interpretations applicable for the half-year ended 31 December 2020
For the half-year ended 31 December 2020, the Directors have reviewed all the new and revised Standards and interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Company and effective for the current reporting period.
15
Zeus Resources Limited
==> picture [35 x 35] intentionally omitted <==
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
d. New Standards and Interpretations issued and not yet adopted
For the half-year ended 31 December 2020, the Directors have also reviewed all the new and revised Standards and interpretations issued by the AASB and not yet adopted that are relevant to the Company. As a result of this review the Directors have determined that there is no material impact of the Standards and Interpretations on issue and not yet adopted by the Company and therefore no changes are necessary to the Company’s accounting policies.
e. Significant Accounting Judgements and Key Estimates.
The preparation of this interim financial report requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that may affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing this interim financial report the significant judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied in the financial report for the year ended 30 June 2020.
f. Going Concern
For the half-year ended 31 December 2020, the Company recorded a loss of $121,681 (half-year ended 31 December 2019: loss $120,530), incurred net cash outflows from operating activities of $101`,008 (half-year ended 31 December 2019: outflows $140,389). Net assets for the half-year ended 31 December 2020 amounted $1,277,218 (30 June 2020: $1,398,899) were largely represented by cash and tenement assets.
The Company, since listing, is yet to report profitable operations and management is closely monitoring the remaining tenements held, to control cash outflows arising from existing exploration activity and the funding requirements needed to develop future projects.
These circumstances currently point towards a material uncertainty, and if not addressed, may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company is a going concern, which contemplates the continuity of 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 assessments on the recoverability of the tenements held at each reporting period; and
-
the Board has prepared detailed cash flow forecasts through to June 2022 which reflects the Company’s ability to continue to pay its debts as and when they fall due; and
-
the Board deliberating for the Company’s to establish a profitable gold exploration base in the metallogenic belt in Laos.
Should the Company be unsuccessful in these endeavours, it may not be able to continue as a going concern, and it could be required to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in these financial statements. This financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or liabilities that might be necessary should the Company not continue as a going concern.

NOTE 11. EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE
In February 2021, internal borders were lifted by the Western Australian Government, apart from remote Aboriginal settlements and areas designated by Aboriginal Land Councils.

Independent auditor’s review report to members
Report on the Review of the Half-Year Financial Report
Conclusion
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Zeus Resources Limited (the company) on pages 11 to 22, which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Zeus Resources Limited on pages 11 to 22 is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
a) giving a true and fair view of the company’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and of its performance for the half year ended on that date; and
-
b) complying with Australian Accounting Standard 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report, which indicates that the Company incurred a net loss of $121,681 (2019: $120,530) and incurred net cash outflows from operating activities of $101,008 (2019: $140,389 outflows) during the period ended 31 December 2020. As stated in Note 1, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Half-Year Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

As the auditor of Zeus Resources Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of Zeus Resource Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.
