Tectonic Gold Plc - Final Results

Tectonic Gold Plc - Final Results

PR Newswire

30 June 2020

TECTONIC GOLD PLC

("Tectonic Gold" or the "Company")

Final Results to 30 June 2019

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

Dear Shareholders,

I am pleased to present the final results for Tectonic Gold Plc for the 12 months to 30 June 2019. This marks the first year of the Company as it completed a reverse takeover transaction ("RTO") with Australian based Intrusive Related Gold System (IRGS) specialist explorer Signature Gold Ltd and was admitted to trading on the AQUIS Stock Exchange (Formally NEX) in London on 26 June 2018.

Following admission to the AQUIS Stock Exchange (Formerly NEX) and the associated capital raise, the Company extended its gold exploration technology development and conducted field activities at its Specimen Hill project area in Queensland, Australia. This included a significant drilling program targeting extensions to the Specimen Hill discovery. Drilling was completed in the December quarter of 2018 and assaying conducted in the January quarter. The drilling confirmed our preliminary technical work and targeting, with mineralisation intersected in each of the ten holes drilled. Further analysis confirmed a range of technical assumptions and identified the source of the mineralising system, which remains highly prospective for high grade gold.

With market sentiment turned against junior exploration companies creating a difficulty to raise further exploration funds, the Company looked to secure a production ready project to generate cash flows and avoid further diluting shareholders. An opportunity was identified to contract mine diamonds on the South African Government's Alexkor mine site on the west coast of South Africa. The Company spent some months evaluating this opportunity, including conducting extensive trial mining and processing trials. During this evaluation, the Company identified that the diamond bearing gravels also hosted high grade heavy mineral sands in certain areas and has now expanded this project to include both diamonds and mineral sands. It is the intention of the Company at this stage and subject to mining permits approvals, to move forward in partnership with a strategic investor in the project to bring this into production. It is hoped that this will in turn fully fund the Company's gold exploration in the short term and allow further exploration of the Queensland gold assets.

At the time of this report we are awaiting permit approvals for mineral sands. We can then invite partners into the project and at that stage plan to move the Group to a more liquid exchange.

On 11 March 2020, the World Health Organisation ("WHO") declared the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) a pandemic. The pandemic has adversely affected the global economy, including an increase in unemployment, decrease in consumer demand, interruptions in supply chains, and tight liquidity and credit conditions. Consequently, governments around the world have announced monetary and fiscal stimulus packages to minimise the adverse economic impact. However, the COVID-19 situation is still evolving, and its full economic impact remains uncertain.

The Company has several assets where the value may be impacted by COVID-19. At the date these financial statements were approved by the Directors the extent of the impact COVID-19 on the Company's assets cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

The pandemic has impacted the Company's operations with Government mandated bans on mass gatherings and social distancing measures resulting in disruption to the Company's operations, this disruption is expected to negatively impact the ability for the Company to conduct drilling and its parent entity's ability to raise capital, refer Going Concern Note 2.

The Directors and management are continually monitoring and managing the Company's operations closely in response to COVID-19 however the extent of the impact COVID-19 may have on the Company's future liquidity, financial performance and position and operations is uncertain and cannot be reasonably estimated at the date these financial statements were issued.

Thank you to all of our supportive shareholders and stakeholders who have worked with us, as we move forward with both our gold projects and our exciting South African project.

Yours sincerely

Bruce Fulton

Chairman

MANAGING DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT

During the year to June 2019 the Company extended its successful technology development and gold exploration programs in Australia. The focus of the technical team was a ten hole drilling program testing structural targets at the flagship Specimen Hill project site.

The drilling program had two objectives; further validation of the Company's emerging Intrusive Related Gold System exploration methodology and extension of the known mineralised zones at Specimen Hill. On both counts the program was successful, intersecting further mineralisation in each of the ten drill holes with high grade gold intersected at gold grades up to 35.2g/t Au and silver grades of up to 37 g/t Ag.

Targeting for the drilling campaign was done using an Australian first deployment of the DIAS 3DIP survey system that has been adapted from technology used in deep targeting in the oil and gas exploration industry. Drill core samples were subjected to extensive analysis including Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) that was used to confirm the genetic link of the known gold near the surface to the feeder system we have been testing at 500 meters and below. The results of the campaign are confirmation of a large gold bearing system that was mineralized during the same time period as some of the major deposits in the region. By tracing the historic flow of mineralized fluids in the system from the drill cores, we have been able to identify the intrusive feature that is the source of the segment and the potential high-grade core of the mineralization giving us a high quality target for follow up drill testing.

In order to generate funding and avoid the need for rounds of capital raising, the Company has looked at a number of producing projects. The most interesting is a combination of diamonds and heavy mineral sands on the west coast of South Africa. Diamonds have been recovered from the beach terraces and offshore along this stretch of coast for over one hundred years. De Beers has historically had major operations in the region spanning both South Africa and its northern neighbour, Namibia. Due to security considerations in the diamond industry, prospecting for other commodities has generally been prohibited. Tectonic has spent some time on the ground in the region evaluating the opportunity of contract mining for diamonds on the South African Government's diamond mine at Alexander Bay and during this process identified areas with both diamond and heavy mineral sand ores. Testing has confirmed that the mineral sands are high grade and contain an attractive mix of minerals including zircon, ilmenite and monazite. The Company is now broadening the diamond mining project and has submitted an application to mine heavy mineral sands in conjunction with the diamonds mining. The Company is negotiating with a prospective partner to divest a majority stake in the combined diamond and heavy mineral sand concentrate project on condition that it is funded into production. The Company will retain a non-diluting 10% interest in the projects and it is the Company's intention to utilise cash flows from this to fund further work on the gold assets. At this stage the Company has secured initial diamond mining rights and has mineral sand mining permits under application.

The Company extended its Research and Development program during 2019 and received a refund under the Australian Tax Office Research and Development Tax Incentive of $279,789.

The Company sold its holding in Tirupati Graphite Plc on 4 November 2019 for which it received £86,844.

The Company sold its 2.5% royalty interest in the Bass Metals Ltd graphite mine in Madagascar. Consideration for this was a CAD$250,000 convertible note which has been converted into 98,039 ordinary shares in TSX-V listed Vox Royalty Corp.

Finally, it remains for me to thank my fellow directors, management and advisers for their effort during the year as we continue to build opportunities for our shareholders.

Brett Boynton, CFA

Managing Director

STRATEGIC REPORT

The Directors present their strategic report for Tectonic Gold Plc ("Tectonic Gold" and/or "the Company") and its controlled entities ("the Group") for the year ended 30 June 2019 ("the reporting period").

REVIEW OF THE BUSINESS

Following the admission to trading on the AQUIS Stock Exchange (formerly NEX Growth Market) on 26 June 2018, the Company focused efforts on developing its Intrusive Related Gold System exploration technology and methodology and exploring its Queensland gold assets.

This was done with assistance from the Australian Federal Government and a number of Australian research organisations.

The Company holds a portfolio of Intrusive Related Gold System exploration targets in Queensland Australia which it is testing and refining the exploration methodology on and plans to monetise through divestment or joint venturing into development.

The Company has a contract to mine diamonds on the South African Government's Alexkor diamond mine.

The Company has made an application for a mining permit to mine (and process) heavy mineral sands coincident with the diamonds at the Alexkor diamond mining operation.

For further details see the Managing Director's Statement on Page 5.

RESULTS AND COMPARITIVE INFORMATION

The Group incurred a loss after tax for the reporting period of £824,874 (2018: £3,277,549 loss as restated).

On 17 April 2019, the Company established Tectonic Gold South Africa Pty Ltd which has since changed its name to Deep Blue Minerals Pty Ltd. The financial information for the reporting period includes that of Tectonic Gold Plc and its controlled entities for the whole reporting period and that of Deep Blue Minerals Pty Ltd for the reporting period since 17 April 2019.

Comparative Information

On 25 June 2018, Tectonic Gold (the legal parent) acquired Signature Gold Ltd (Signature Gold). Although the transaction was not a business combination, the acquisition has been accounted for as an asset acquisition with reference to the guidance for reverse acquisition in IFRS 3 Business Combinations and IFRS 2 Share-based Payment.

In preparing the Financial Statements, Signature Gold has been treated as the "accounting parent" and therefore the financial information for the comparative period for the Group includes that of Signature Gold and that of Tectonic Gold for the period since 25 June 2018.

In 2018, the Company's Accounting Reference Date was extended to end on 30 June 2018. Accordingly, as required by Companies House, the financial statements for the comparative period represent the period 1 January 2017 to 30 June 2018.

Prior Year Adjustments

The 2018 balances have been restated in the 2019 financial statements as PKF Littlejohn LLP found an error in the accounting treatment for the reverse acquisition during the 2019 audit. The 2018 balances were also restated to account for certain costs amounting to £45,250 that were not accrued for at the time and the fair value of options that were issued on 25 June 2018 which amount to £68,900. Further details are included in note 5 to the financial statements.

DIVIDENDS

The Directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend and no amount has been paid or declared by way of a dividend to the date of this report (2018: £nil).

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

The key performance indicators are set out below.

Market capitalisation£4.185m£9.63m

KEY RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Currently the principal risk lies in secure additional funding as and when necessary to continue with the core research and exploration business. The Company's projects are in the exploration phase of development and do not generate revenue. If the Company is unsuccessful in monetising its research developments or its exploration projects by attracting development partners or divesting assets it may need to raise additional capital as other junior exploration companies do from time to time. This risk is mitigated through the Company's corporate development efforts and active engagement with a number of gold mining companies, project funders and other investors for the purpose of attracting investment in one or more of the Company's projects or acquisition of one of the assets in line with the business plan.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

Details of the Company's financial risk management objectives and policies are set out in Note 27 to these financial statements.

POST YEAR END EVENTS

A list of post year events has been included in Note 30.

GOING CONCERN

The adoption of the going concern basis by the Directors is following a review of the current position of the Company and the forecasts for at least the next 12 months. The cash and tradable securities together with the funds receivable and funding support expected from the Queensland State Government are forecast to enable to Company to meet its obligations and continue to operate for the foreseeable future. Thus, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. It is beyond the scope of the Directors to predict any future impact of COVID 19 on any of these funding sources however and if for any reason it is not possible to sell any tradeable securities or State Government funding is not secured, this may impact the ability of the Company to meet its obligations and continue to operate as envisaged. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis and uncertainty surrounding it can be found in note 4 of these financial statements.

DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO THE AUDITORS

In the case of each of the persons who are directors of the Company at the date when this report is approved:

· So far as each director is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Company's auditors are unaware; and

· Each of the directors has taken all steps that they ought to have taken as a director to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of the information.

This information is given and should be interpreted in accordance with the provisions of Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006.

AUDITOR

PKF Littlejohn LLP have expressed their willingness to continue in office as auditor and it is expected that a resolution to reappoint them will be proposed at the next annual general meeting.

The Board as a whole considers the appointment of external auditors, including their independence, specifically including the nature and scope of non-audit services provided.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES

The Directors are responsible for preparing the annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have prepared the Group and Company financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union, and as regards the Company financial statements, as applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006. Under company law, the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group and Company and of the profit or loss of the Group and Company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:

· select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

· state whether applicable IFRSs have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

· make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and

· prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Group and Company will continue in business.

The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Group and Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Group and Company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006.

The directors are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Group and Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the Company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The requirements of the 2016 UK Corporate Governance Code ("the Code"), as issued by the Financial Reporting Council, are not mandatory for companies traded on AQUIS Stock Exchange. The Directors recognise the value of the Code and apply the recommendations in so far as it is appropriate for a Company of its size.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Company supports the concept of an effective Board leading and controlling the Company. The Board of Directors is responsible for approving Company policy and strategy. It meets regularly and has a schedule of matters specifically reserved to it for decision. All Directors have access to advice from independent professionals at the Company's expense. Training is available for new and existing Directors, as necessary.

The Board consists of the Non-Executive Chairman, Bruce Fulton, Managing Director, Brett Boynton, Executive Director, Sam Quinn and Non-Executive director, Zeg Choudhry.

Since Admission to the AQUIS Stock Exchange on 25 June 2018, the Board has established properly constituted audit, remuneration and AQUIS Stock Exchange compliance committees with formally delegated duties and responsibilities, a summary of which is set out below.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee comprises Bruce Fulton (Chairman), Sam Quinn and the Chief Financial Officer, Anne Adaley. The Committee meets at least twice a year and is responsible for ensuring the financial performance of the Company is properly reported on and monitored. It liaises with the auditor and reviews the reports from the auditor relating to the accounts.

REMUNERATION COMMITTEE

The Remuneration Committee comprises Bruce Fulton (Chairman) and Sam Quinn. The Committee meets at least twice a year and is responsible for reviewing the performance of Executive Directors and sets the scale and structure of their remuneration on the basis of their service agreements, with due regard to the interests of the shareholders and the performance of the Company.

AQUIS STOCK EXCHANGE (FORMALLY NEX) COMPLIANCE COMMITTEE

The role of the AQUIS Stock Exchange (formerly NEX) compliance committee is to ensure that the Company has in place sufficient procedures, resources and controls to enable it to comply with the AQUIS Stock Exchange Rules. The AQUIS Stock Exchange compliance committee make recommendations to the Board and proactively liaise with the Company's AQUIS Stock Exchange Corporate Adviser on compliance with the AQUIS Stock Exchange Rules. The AQUIS Stock Exchange compliance committee also monitors the Company's procedures to approve any share dealings by directors or employees in accordance with the Company's share dealing code. The members of the AQUIS Stock Exchange compliance committee are Brett Boynton (Chairman), Sam Quinn and Dennis Edmonds.

SHARE DEALING CODE

The Company has adopted a share dealing code for dealings in securities of the Company by directors and certain employees which is appropriate for a company whose shares are traded on the AQUIS Stock Exchange. This will constitute the Company's share dealing policy for the purpose of compliance with UK legislation including the Market Abuse Regulation and the relevant part of the AQUIS Stock Exchange Rules. It should be noted that the insider dealing legislation set out in the UK Criminal Justice Act 1993, as well as provisions relating to market abuse, also apply to the Company and dealings in Ordinary Shares.

COMMUNICATIONS WITH SHAREHOLDERS

Communications with shareholders are given a high priority by the management. In addition to the publication of an annual report and an interim report, there is regular dialogue with shareholders and analysts. The Annual General Meeting is viewed as a forum for communicating with shareholders, particularly private investors. Shareholders may question the Managing Director and other members of the Board at the Annual General Meeting.

INTERNAL CONTROL

The Directors acknowledge they are responsible for the Company's system of internal control and for reviewing the effectiveness of these systems. The risk management process and systems of internal control are designed to manage rather than eliminate the risk of the Company failing to achieve its strategic objectives. It should be recognised that such systems can only provide reasonable and not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss. The Company has well established procedures which are considered adequate given the size of the business.

REMUNERATION

The remuneration of the directors has been fixed by the Board as a whole. The Board seeks to provide appropriate reward for the skill and time commitment required so as to retain the right calibre of director at a cost to the Company which reflects current market rates.

Details of directors' fees and of payments made to directors for professional services rendered are set out in Note 11 to the financial statements and details of the directors' share options are set out in the Directors' Report.

RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT OF THE DIRECTORS IN RESPECT OF THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT

We confirm that to the best of our knowledge:

· the financial statements, prepared in accordance with the applicable set of accounting standards, give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the Company and the undertakings included in the consolidation taken as a whole; and

· the Directors' report includes a fair review of the development and performance of the business and the position of the issuer and the undertakings included in the consolidation taken as a whole, together with a description of the principal risks and uncertainties that they face.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMEBERS OF TECTONIC GOLD PLC

FOR the year ended 30 JUNE 2019

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Tectonic Gold Plc (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 30 June 2019 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, the Group and Parent Company Statements of Financial Position, the Group and Parent Company Statements of Changes in Equity, the Group Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union and as regards the parent company financial statements, as applied in accordance with the provision of the Companies Act 2006.

In our opinion:

· the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and of the parent company's affairs as at 30 June 2019 and of the group's and parent company's loss for the year then ended;

· the group financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union;

· the parent company financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union and as applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006; and

· the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group and parent company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard as applied to listed entities, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:

· the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or

· the directors have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the group's or the parent company's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our application of materiality

Materiality for the group financial statements as a whole was set at £93,000. This has been calculated based on a benchmark of 3% of gross assets, which we determined in our professional judgment to be the main driver of the business as the group is still in the exploration stage and therefore no revenues are currently being generated, and current and potential investors will be most interested in the recoverability of the exploration and evaluation assets.

Materiality for the parent company financial statements was set at £92,999, determined with reference to a benchmark of 3% of gross assets. From a company perspective the key benchmark is gross assets, given that this a holding company whose value is derived from the underlying subsidiary.

Component materiality was set lower than our overall group materiality and ranged from £1,500 to £89,000. Performance materiality for the group, and all significant components, was set at 80% of overall materiality.

We reported to the directors all corrected and uncorrected misstatements we identified throughout our audit with a value in excess of £4,670, in addition to other audit misstatements below that threshold that we believed warranted reporting on qualitative grounds.

An overview of the scope of our audit

In designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risk of material misstatement in the financial statements. In particular, we looked at areas involving significant accounting estimates and judgement by the directors, including the carrying value of assets, and considered future events that are inherently uncertain.

We also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.

We also addressed the going concern risk, evaluating whether there were any indicators that the Group were unable to continue as a going concern due to restricted access to funding.

The key balances held within all significant components are the exploration and evaluation intangible assets. The significant risk and key audit matter is in relation to the recoverability of these assets, to confirm that no impairment is required in line with IFRS 6.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period and include the most significant assessed risks of material misstatement (whether or not due to fraud) we identified, including those which had the greatest effect on: the overall audit strategy, the allocation of resources in the audit; and directing the efforts of the engagement team. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matterHow the scope of our audit responded to the key audit matter
Going Concern- GROUP AND COMPANY(refer to note 3)
There is a risk that further funding will not be accessible.
With the current ongoing Covid-19 situation the future of the Group could be affected with the reduced access to funding.

We performed the following procedures:
· Critically assessed cash flow forecasts and budgets;
· Undertook sensitivity analysis on management's forecasts;
· Discussed these matters with management;
· Reviewed the group's assessment of the impact of Covid-19 using our knowledge of the business and the industry that the group operates in;
· Evaluated the adequacy of disclosures made in the financial statements.
Capitalisation and recoverability of mining exploration expenses - GROUP(refer to Note 17)
IFRS 6 allows the capitalisation of exploration and evaluation expenditures incurred in connection with the exploration and evaluation of mineral resources before the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource is demonstrable. There is a risk that this has not been applied correctly causing misstatements.
There is a risk that the amounts capitalised do not meet the recognition criteria in accordance with IFRS 6.
The recoverability of the asset is highly judgemental due to the early stage nature of the projects and the contingent nature of obtaining a mining permit.

We performed the following procedures:
· Agreed additions during the year to invoices and other supporting documentation, ensuring the expenditure has been capitalised in accordance with IFRS 6;
· Assessed management's impairment review, taking into account both internal and external indicators;
· Verified good title to project licenses; and
· Discussed with management the scope of their future budgeted and planned expenditure on each license area.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the group and parent company financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

· the information given in the strategic report and the directors' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

· the strategic report and the directors' report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent company and their environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report or the directors' report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

· adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

· the parent company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

· certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or

· we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of directors

As explained more fully in the statement of directors' responsibilities, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the group and parent company financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the group and parent company financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the group's and the parent company'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 company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are 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 ISAs (UK) 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 these financial statements.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: https:www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

The accompanying notes form part of these financial statements.

On 17 April 2019, the Company established Tectonic Gold South Africa which has since changed its name to Deep Blue Minerals Pty Ltd. The financial information for the reporting period includes that of Tectonic Gold Plc and its controlled entities for the whole reporting period and that of Deep Blue Minerals Pty Ltd for the reporting period since 17 April 2019.

Comparative Information

In 2018, the Company's Accounting Reference Date was extended to end on 30 June 2018. Accordingly, as required by Companies House, the financial statements for the comparative period represent the period from 1 January 2017 to 30 June 2018.

The Group was formed on 25 June 2018 with the reverse takeover of Signature Gold Ltd, by Tectonic Gold Plc (the legal parent entity). In preparing the Financial Statements, Signature Gold Limited has been treated as the "accounting parent" and therefore the financial information for the reporting period includes that of Signature Gold Limited for the whole period, and that of Tectonic Gold Plc and its controlled entity for the reporting period since 25 June 2018. See Note 9 for further details.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Tectonic Gold Plc is a company incorporated in the United Kingdom under the Companies Act 2006. The nature of the Company's operations and its principal activities are set out in the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report on pages 4 and 6.

2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

The financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union.

(a) New and amended standards adopted by the Company:

As of 1 July 2018, the Company has adopted IFRS 9 and IFRS 15. The Company adopted IFRS 9, Financial Instruments ('IFRS 9'), which replaced IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and liabilities.

The Company reviewed the financial assets and liabilities reported on its Statement of Financial Position and completed an assessment between IAS 39 and IFRS 9 to identify any accounting changes. The financial assets subject to this review were intercompany loans receivable. The financial liabilities subject to this review were intercompany loans payable and convertible loan notes. Based on this assessment of the classification and measurement model, there were no changes to classification and measurement other than changes in terminology.

IFRS 15 requires an expected quantitative impact of the application of IFRS 15 to be included within the financial statements. The Group and Company has minimal revenue and as such there is no impact of IFRS 15.

Of the other IFRSs and IFRICs adopted in 2019, none have had a material effect on the Group or Company's Financial Statements.

(b) New and amended standards issued but not yet effective and not early adopted:

Standards, amendments and interpretations that are not yet effective and have not been early adopted are as follows:

STANDARDIMPACT ON INITIAL APPLICATIONEFFECTIVE FOR ANNUAL REPORTING PERIODS BEGINNING ON OR AFTEREXPECTED TO BE INITIALLY APPLIED IN THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDING

IFRS 3 (Amendments)Business combinations1 January 2019*30 June 2020

*subject to EU endorsement.

Of these IFRSs and IFRICs, none are expected to have a material effect on future Group or Company financial statements.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This financial report includes the consolidated financial statement and notes of Tectonic Gold Plc ("the Company") and its controlled entities ("Consolidated Entity" or "Group").

The principal accounting policies adopted and applied in the preparation of the Group's Financial statements are set out below. These have been consistently applied to all the years presented unless otherwise stated:

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted for use in the European Union ("EU") applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006.

IFRS is subject to amendment and interpretation by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and the International Financial Standards Interpretations Committee ("IFRS IC") and there is an ongoing process of review and endorsement by the European Commission. The accounts have been prepared on the basis of the recognition and measurement principles of IFRS that were applicable at 30 June 2019.

RESULTS AND COMPARATIVE INFORMATION

On 17 April 2019 the Company established Tectonic Gold South Africa which has since changed its name to Deep Blue Minerals. The financial information for the reporting period includes that of Tectonic Gold Plc and its controlled entities for the whole reporting period and that of Deep Blue Minerals for the reporting period since 17 April 2019.

Comparative Information

On 25 June 2018, Tectonic Gold (the legal parent) acquired Signature Gold Ltd (Signature Gold). Although the transaction was not a business combination, the acquisition has been accounted for as an asset acquisition with reference to the guidance for reverse acquisition in IFRS 3 Business Combinations and IFRS 2 Share-based Payment. Refer to Note 9 for further details.

In preparing the Financial Statements, Signature Gold has been treated as the "accounting parent" and therefore the financial information for the comparative period for the Group includes that of Signature Gold and that of Tectonic Gold for the period since 25 June 2018.

In 2018, the Company's Accounting Reference Date was extended to end on 30 June 2018. Accordingly, as required by Companies House, the financial statements for the comparative period represent the period 1 January 2017 to 30 June 2018.

PRIOR YEAR ADJUSTMENTS

The 2018 balances have been restated in the 2019 financial statements as PKF Littlejohn LLP found an error in the accounting treatment for the reverse acquisition during the 2019 audit. The 2018 balances were also restated to account for certain costs amounting to £45,250 that were not accrued for together with the fair value of options that were issued on 25 June 2018 which amount to £68,900. Further details are included in note 5 to the financial statements.

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

Where the Group has control over an investee, it is classified as a subsidiary. The Group controls an investee if all three of the following elements are present: power over the investee, exposure to variable returns from the investee, and the ability of the investor to use its power to affect those variable returns. Control is reassessed whenever facts and circumstances indicate that there may be a change in any of these elements of control.

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as at the end of the reporting period. The financial statements of the subsidiaries used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are prepared for the same reporting date as for the Company. Consistent accounting policies are applied to like transactions and events in similar circumstances. All intra-group balances, balances and unrealised gains and losses resulting from intra-group transactions and dividends are eliminated in full.

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases.

GOING CONCERN

Any consideration of the foreseeable future involves making a judgement, at a particular point in time, about future events which are inherently uncertain. The ability of the Group and Company to carry out their planned business objectives is dependent on the continuing ability to raise adequate financing from equity investors and/or the achievement of profitable operations.

The adoption of the going concern basis by the Directors is following a review of the current position of the Company and the forecasts for the next 12 months. The cash and tradable securities together with the funds receivable and funding support expected from the Queensland State Government are forecast to enable the Group and Company to meet their obligations and continue to operate for the foreseeable future. Thus, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. It is beyond the scope of the Directors to predict any future impact of COVID 19 on any of these funding sources however and if for any reason it is not possible to sell any tradeable securities or State Government funding is not secured, this may impact the ability of the Group and Company to meet their obligations and continue to operate as envisaged. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis and uncertainty surrounding it can be found in note 4 of these financial statements.

FINANCIAL ASSETS AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT AND LOSS (2018 DISCLOSED AS AVAILABLE FOR SALE INVESTMENTS)

Investments are initially measured at fair value plus directly attributable incidental acquisition costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value in accordance with IAS 39. This is either the bid price or the last traded price, depending on the convention of the exchange on which the investment is quoted.

Investments are recognised as available-for-sale financial assets. Gains and losses on measurement are recognised in other comprehensive income except for impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary items denominated in a foreign currency, until the assets are derecognised, at which time the cumulative gains and losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income are recognised in the income statement.

The Company assesses at each year end date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets classified as available-for-sale has been impaired. An impairment loss is recognised if there is objective evidence that an event or events since initial recognition of the asset have adversely affected the amount or timing of future cash flows from the asset. A significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of a security below its cost shall be considered in determining whether the asset is impaired.

INVESTMENTS

In the Company's separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment losses.

FOREIGN CURRENCIES

The Company's financial statements are presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates (its functional currency). For the purpose of these financial statements, the results and financial position are expressed in Pounds Sterling, which is the presentation currency of the Company.

Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the retranslation of monetary items, are included in the income statement. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in profit or loss for the period, except for differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognised directly in equity. For such non-monetary items, any exchange component of that gain or loss is also recognised directly in equity.

FOREIGN CURRENCIES

When a decline in the fair value of a financial asset classified as available-for-sale has been previously recognised in other comprehensive income and there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, the cumulative loss is removed from other comprehensive income and recognised in the income statement. The loss is measured as the difference between the cost of the financial asset and its current fair value less any previous impairment.

For the purpose of presenting Company financial statements, the assets and liabilities of any of the Company's operations that are overseas are translated at exchange rates prevailing on the year-end date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period.

Any translation differences on consolidation are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income

TAXATION

The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end date.

Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable

profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Company is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and where they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION EXPENDITURE

Exploration expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest, net of any related grant income received. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recovered through the successful development or sale of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage which permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit or loss in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made. When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves. A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to the area of interest.

Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment annually or when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an asset may exceed its recoverable amount in accordance with IFRS 6.

IMPAIRMENT OF PROPERTY, PLANT & EQUIPMENT

At each financial year end date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately.

When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Items of property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated as outlined below:

Depreciation of Property, Plant and Equipment

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment over its expected useful life for the entity. Estimates of remaining useful lives are made on a regular basis for all assets with annual reassessments for major items. The expected useful lives are as follows:

Plant and equipment 5 years

TRADE RECEIVABLES, LOANS AND OTHER RECEIVABLES

Trade receivables, loans and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified under 'loans and receivables. Loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate, except for short term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial.

Other receivables, that do not carry any interest, are measured at their nominal value as reduced by any appropriate allowances for irrecoverable amounts.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and other short-term bank deposits.

FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities 'at FVTPL' or 'other financial liabilities'.

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs. The Group's financial liabilities include trade and other payables.

A financial liability is held for trading if it meets one of the following conditions:

• It is incurred principally for the purpose of repurchasing it in the near term

• On initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking, or

• It is a derivative (except for a derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective hedging instrument).

There were no financial liabilities 'at FVTPL' during the current, or preceding, period.

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after deducting all of its liabilities.

OTHER FINANCIAL LIABILTIES AND SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

Interest-bearing loans and overdrafts are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Finance charges are accounted for on an accruals basis in profit or loss using the effective interest rate method and are added to the carrying amount of the instrument to the extent that they are not settled in the period in which they arise. Other short-term borrowings being intercompany loans and unsecured convertible loan notes issued in the year are recognised at amortised cost net of any financing or arrangement fees.

TRADE PAYABLES

Trade payables are initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.

EQUITY INSTRUMENTS INCLUDING SHARE CAPITAL

Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of incremental costs attributable to the issue of new shares.

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of a company after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received net of direct issue costs.

Share capital represents the amount subscribed for shares at nominal value.

The share premium account represents premiums received on the initial issuing of the share capital. Any transaction costs associated with the issuing of shares are deducted from share premium, net of any related income tax benefits. Any bonus issues are also deducted from share premium.

The reverse takeover reserve represents the adjustment needed to reflect the reverse takeover of Signature Gold in the previous year.

The foreign currency translation reserve is used to record exchange differences arising from the translation of the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries.

The warrant reserve represents the fair value of warrants granted to employees and suppliers for services provided to the Group. The fair value of warrants is expensed over the vesting period or during the period in which the services are received.

Accumulated losses include all current and prior period results as disclosed in the statement of comprehensive income.

SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

The Company has applied the requirements of IFRS 2 Share-based payments.

The Company operates an equity-settled share-based payment scheme under which share options are issued to certain employees. Equity-settled share-based payments are measured at fair value (excluding the effect of non-market-based vesting conditions) at the date of grant. The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Company's estimate of shares that will eventually vest and adjusted for the effect of non-market-based vesting conditions.

Fair value is measured by use of the Black Scholes model. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management's best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions, and behavioural considerations.

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATIONS

In the application of the Company's accounting policies, which are described in note 3, the Directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period. Judgements and estimates that may affect future periods are as follows:

SHARE BASED PAYMENTS

The calculation of the fair value of equity-settled share-based awards and the resulting charge to the statement of comprehensive income requires assumptions to be made regarding future events and market conditions. These assumptions include the future volatility of the Company's share price. These assumptions are then applied to a recognised valuation model in order to calculate the fair value of the awards.

TREATMENT OF EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION COSTS

Exploration expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest, net of any related grant income received. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recovered through the successful development or sale of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage which permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made. When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves. A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to the area of interest.

The value of the Group's exploration and evaluation expenditure will be dependent upon the success of the Group in discovering economic and recoverable mineral resources. It is also dependent on the Group successfully renewing its licences.

The future revenue flows relating to these assets is uncertain and will also be affected by competition, relative exchange rates and potential new legislation and related environmental requirements.

5. PRIOR YEAR ADJUSTMENT

The 2018 consolidated statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income has been restated to account for certain costs amounting to £45,250 that were not accrued for on completion of the reverse takeover by Signature Gold Pty Ltd on 25 June 2018 and the fair value of options that were issued on 25 June 2018 which amount to £68,900. Details are set out below.

On 25 June 2018, Tectonic Gold Plc completed the acquisition of 100% of the issued capital of Signature Gold and 450,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company were allotted to the vendors of Signature Gold Ltd at an issue price of 2 pence per share.

Although the transaction was not a business combination, the acquisition has been accounted for as an asset acquisition with reference to the guidance for reverse acquisitions in IFRS 3 Business Combinations and IFRS 2 Share-based Payment.

In preparing the Financial Report, Signature Gold has been treated as the "accounting parent" and therefore the financial information for the reporting period includes that of Signature Gold and that of Tectonic Gold Plc and its controlled entities for the period since 25 June 2018.

Capital risk management

The Group manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. The capital structure of the Group consists of debt, (previously includes the borrowings) cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to equity holders of the Company, comprising issued capital, reserves and accumulated losses, all as disclosed in the Statement of Financial Position.

Financial risk management objectives

The Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks which result from both its operating and investing activities. The Group's risk management is coordinated by the board of directors and focuses on actively securing the Group's short to medium term cash flows by minimising the exposure to financial markets.

The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk and market price risk.

Foreign currency risk management

The Company undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Hence, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise. Since 25 June 2018. the Company's major activity is now investment in Australia through its subsidiary Signature Gold, bringing exposure to the exchange rate fluctuations of GBP/£ Sterling with both Australian Dollars.

Exchange rate exposures are managed within approved policy parameters. The Company does not enter into forward exchange contracts to mitigate the exposure to foreign currency risk as amounts paid and received in specific currencies are expected to largely offset one another and the currencies most widely traded are relatively stable.

The Directors consider the balances most susceptible to foreign currency movements to be the net assets of Signature Gold for the Group and the Investment Available for Sale for the Company.

The following table illustrates the sensitivity of the value of the foreign currency denominated assets in regard to the change in AUD exchange rates.

It assumes a +/- 15% change in the AUD/GBP exchange rate for the year ended 30 June 2019 (2018:15%).

Decrease in GBP value75,37494,640

Exposure to foreign exchange rates varies during the year depending on the volume and nature of foreign transactions. Nonetheless, the analysis above is considered to be representative of the Group's exposure to currency risk.

Interest rate risk management

The Group's exposure to interest rates on financial assets and financial liabilities is detailed in the liquidity risk management section of this note.

There are no long-term loans or short-term loans that carry any interest and thus sensitivity analyses have not been provided on the exposure to interest rates for both derivatives and non-derivative instruments during the year.

There would have been no effect on amounts recognised directly in equity.

Credit risk management

The Group's financial instruments, which are subject to credit risk, are considered to be cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables, and its exposure to credit risk is not material. The credit risk for cash and cash equivalents is considered negligible since the counterparties are reputable banks.

The Group's maximum exposure to credit risk is £82,910 (2018: £549,388) comprising other receivables, investments and cash.

Liquidity risk management

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, which monitors the Company's short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements on an appropriate basis. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities. The Company's liquidity risk arises in supporting the trading operations in the subsidiaries, which hopefully will start to generate profits and positive cash-flows in the short term. However, as referred to in Note 4 the Company is currently exposed to significant liquidity risk and needs to obtain external funding to support the Company going forwards.

28. CAPITAL COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Exploration Lease Expenditure Commitments

In order to maintain the Group's tenements in good standing with Queensland Mines and Energy in Australia, the Group may be required to incur a minimum exploration expenditure under the terms of each licence. At the time of license renewal Signature Gold Pty Ltd submitted a proposed expenditure plan which included the commitments outlined below, however, as a result of the impact of COVID-19 the Queensland State Government has suspended tenement rentals and is allowing for variations to the minimum expenditure requirements. As restrictions currently make any exploration activities extremely difficult, the Company plans to take advantage of the allowance for variations and will significantly reduce the expenditure commitment for 2019 and beyond. Signature Gold Pty Ltd has applied for A$200,000 in exploration funding under the current Queensland State Government exploration incentive scheme. Management will review the expenditure following the outcome of this application. It is likely that the granting of new licences and changes in the terms of each licence will continue to change the expenditure commitment from time to time. The figures depicted below highlight the committed expenditures prior to COVID-19 variations being sought and may be adjusted as discussed above.

29. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

(i) Following the successful application for renewed status for 2019 under the Australian Federal Government Research and Development Tax Incentive, the Group engaged Research and Development Tax specialists RSM Australia (RSM) to complete an assessment of the 2019 claim.

On 22 August 2019, the Company obtained a loan for A$219,129 at an annual interest rate of 15% per annum and repayable by no later than 30 November 2019. The loan was secured against the Research and Development refund. A$279,789 was received by the Company on 19 November 2019 and the loan repaid in full.

(ii) On the 2nd of September 2019 the Company announced the sales of its 2.5% royalty interest in Bass Metals' Graphmada graphite mine to Silverstream SEZC for a consideration of up to A$550,000 in cash and convertible notes. The Company received a CAD$250,000 one year 5% unsecured convertible note maturing on 27 August 2020 with the balance of the consideration due in cash subject to performance milestones.

(iii) The Company sold its holding in Tirupati Graphite Plc on 4 November 2019 for which it received £86,844.

(iv) On 11 March 2020, the World Health Organisation ("WHO") declared the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) a pandemic. The pandemic has adversely affected the global economy, including an increase in unemployment, decrease in consumer demand, interruptions in supply chains, and tight liquidity and credit conditions. Consequently, governments around the world have announced monetary and fiscal stimulus packages to minimise the adverse economic impact. However, the COVID-19 situation is still evolving, and its full economic impact remains uncertain.

The Company has several assets where the value may be impacted by COVID-19. At the date these financial statements were approved by the Directors the extent of the impact COVID-19 on the Company's assets cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

The pandemic has impacted the Company's operations with Government mandated bans on mass gatherings and social distancing measures resulting in disruption to the Company's operations, this disruption is expected to negatively impact the ability for the Company to conduct drilling and its parent entity's ability to raise capital, refer Going Concern Note 2.

The Directors and management are continually monitoring and managing the Company's operations closely in response to COVID-19 however the extent of the impact COVID-19 may have on the Company's future liquidity, financial performance and position and operations is uncertain and cannot be reasonably estimated at the date these financial statements were issued.

Other than as stated elsewhere in this report, Directors are not aware of any other matters or circumstances at the date of this report that have significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations, the results of the operations or the state of affairs of the Company in subsequent financial years.

The Directors of the Company accept responsibility for the contents of this announcement.
