Classic Minerals Ltd (ASX: CLZ) - Five-Year Financial Review FY2020-FY2024

A source-linked review of five 30 June financial years in Australian dollars. Each series uses the current-year figure in its own annual report unless explicitly noted; restated comparatives and scope differences are identified alongside the tables.

Financial years ended 30 June 2020–2024; FY2024 annual report dated 6 June 2025. · Editorial review: 2026-09-24 · MII Research

Reading the tables: 0 (nil) is a supported zero. Other text distinguishes an amount included in another line, a non-applicable item, a separately unavailable component and an unresolved value. These are not interchangeable. Period-specific detail is labelled; complete year-by-year detail remains available.

Five years in context

Classic Minerals moved from exploration toward trial mining and first gold sales at Kat Gap. A 2022 bulk sample produced 1,011 contained ounces; the FY2024 annual report records gold sales revenue of A$988,294. These are different measures: contained ounces from a bulk sample are not sales or a five-year production series.

Every selected current-year statement reports a statutory loss. Operating cash flow was negative in each year and the consolidated balance sheet ended FY2024 with A$14.1 million of net liabilities. Funding relied on equity issues, loans and convertible notes; the FY2024 auditor drew attention to going-concern material uncertainty.

Comparability needs care: FY2020 has later-restated comparatives, the FY2021 balance-sheet cash and cash-flow closing cash disagree, FY2024 begins separate gold sales, and two share consolidations affect per-share measures. The tables state exactly which period and basis each row uses.

Events behind the numbers

FY2020

Original baseline; later restatement

The FY2020 report recorded a A$15.67m loss. The FY2021 report later presented a restated FY2020 comparative loss of A$15.74m; the tables retain the original FY2020 current-year number.

FY2021

Kat Gap lease and processing plant

Kat Gap Mining Lease M74/249 was granted on 22 April 2021. The company reported a A$13.71m loss and A$7.94m operating cash outflow for the 30 June year.

FY2022

Bulk sample and convertible-note funding

The May 2022 Kat Gap bulk sample produced 6,504 tonnes at 4.82 g/t, containing 1,011 ounces of gold. At 30 June, A$2.13m was recorded as an advance for convertible notes; the 1:150 share consolidation became effective after year-end on 8 July.

FY2023

Higher loss and funding package

The FY2023 statutory loss reached A$23.65m, while operating cash outflow was A$13.36m. The company disclosed a A$20.5m funding package; headline facilities should be distinguished from actual cash receipts.

FY2024

First gold sales and tighter liquidity

The year included A$988,294 of gold sales revenue and a 1:50 share consolidation effective 18 March 2024. At 30 June the group reported A$55,205 cash, A$20.51m current liabilities and A$14.09m net liabilities. The FY2024 report also discloses Kat Gap sale completion on 24 March 2025 as a subsequent event, not FY2024 cash proceeds.

FINANCIAL REVIEW / 01

Income and statutory result

FY2024 adds a separately identified gold-sales line; the statutory loss narrowed from FY2023, while exploration and financing charges remained material. The expense and tax rows preserve the filing basis rather than implying a uniform adjusted earnings measure.

A$ actual dollars, balances at each 30 June. FY2020 uses its original filing; later years use each year’s current column. Restated comparative balances and A$1 differences appear in later filings and are not silently substituted.

The FY2020 original statement aggregates a current lease obligation under Borrowings. The FY2021 restated FY2020 comparative separates A$54,894 of lease liability from A$1,872,181 of borrowing; the original FY2020 current total is retained without double counting.

FY2021 statement-of-position cash of A$2,249,206 differs from cash-flow closing cash of A$2,018,953 in the same annual report; both are shown in their own statement tables and the difference remains unresolved.

FY2024 current assets include A$1,472,103 of assets held for sale, separately shown below. FY2024 trade and other payables of A$9,242,034 are the consolidated statement amount; the directors’ trade-payables narrative refers to the narrower A$8,119,594 amount.

The FY2020 non-current A$81,070 is lease liability. This interpretation is supported by the FY2020 statement and FY2021 comparative lease note.

The comparable current borrowings-plus-lease line repeats the FY2020 original Borrowings total (lease included) and sums the separately presented FY2021–FY2024 components. It is a presentation subtotal, not an extra liability.

The FY2023 A$7,445,850 convertible-note cash receipt is a statement line; it should not be conflated with the A$4m 2022 Still Capital mandate headline. The FY2024 dash for convertible-note cash proceeds is presented as issuer-reported nil.

FINANCIAL REVIEW / 04

Equity and shareholder distributions

Issued capital rose through owner transactions while accumulated losses deepened. The FY2024 current-year statement records shares issued, option exercise, convertible-note conversion and a reserve reclassification. A broad FY2021 statement says no dividends had been paid or declared since incorporation; later periods are not assigned unsupported zeroes.

The FY2023 accumulated-loss movement includes a reclassification from reserves, so it need not equal the year’s statutory loss alone.

Projects and disclosed gold resources

The Mineral Resource sequence is a set of disclosed snapshots, not annual production. The FY2024 report repeats the 14 June 2023 estimate. Kat Gap’s contained resource ounces and the 2022 bulk-sample contained ounces have different measurement bases.

Contained ounces, disclosure snapshots; these are Mineral Resources, not annual production or sales. FY2024 repeats an estimate with 14 June 2023 effective date, so FY2023–FY2024 must not be read as separate new estimates.

The FY2023 and FY2024 source tables print 37,088 indicated oz and 354,589 inferred oz but 391,417 total oz: the components sum to 391,677 oz, a 260 oz difference. The prospect table similarly prints 20,488 + 60,139 = 80,627 oz for Kat Gap but 80,367 oz as its total. The chart uses the printed total and the discrepancy remains unresolved.

Earlier source rows do not establish an effective date in the selected extraction.

Reading the figures

  • The selected annual package and six targeted DB annual tables were used; raw body and PDFs were outside the approved source boundary. Reported gaps are extraction or reconciliation limits, not claims of issuer non-disclosure.
  • FY2021 balance-sheet cash of A$2,249,206 and cash-flow closing cash of A$2,018,953 disagree within the selected annual report; no balancing adjustment is invented.
  • FY2020 original loss and cash flow differ from FY2021 later-restated FY2020 comparatives; original current-year figures are shown with notes.
  • The FY2023/FY2024 Mineral Resource table has a printed 260 oz component-to-total discrepancy, including Kat Gap; the printed total is preserved for the chart.
  • Some issuer-dated project events in annual reports occur after the 30 June balance date and are labelled as subsequent events where relevant.
