PNG field work deferred
COVID-19 travel restrictions deferred planned PNG exploration, including Mt Nakru drilling; the year ended 30 June 2021 with AUD 15.80m of exploration assets.
An exploration-stage Group report in Australian dollars. The tables compare five June year ends, with the FY2023 disposal separating the former PNG portfolio from the later Australian asset base.
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.

Coppermoly was an exploration business through the five years and reported no operating sales revenue line in its statutory income statements. Other income comprised the top line, while exploration asset additions and the need for external funding shaped cash flows.
The structural break came in FY2023 when the company sold Copper Quest PNG Limited. The consideration combined AUD 500,000 cash with a buy-back and cancellation of 1,955,024,388 shares. The PNG exploration asset balance left the Group; subsequent asset additions are principally Australian. The auditor's going-concern uncertainty continued in later reports.
COVID-19 travel restrictions deferred planned PNG exploration, including Mt Nakru drilling; the year ended 30 June 2021 with AUD 15.80m of exploration assets.
Fox Creek and Mount Tracey permits were granted during FY2022. The auditor included a material uncertainty related to going concern in the 28 September 2022 report.
After 24 April 2023 shareholder approval, the PNG subsidiary sale combined AUD 500,000 cash with cancellation of 1,955,024,388 ordinary shares; the convertible notes were converted into equity.
A 728-metre, three-hole reverse-circulation program was completed at Shuffleton. The FY2024 share option reserve rose by AUD 121,320, and the auditor again identified going-concern uncertainty.
A 142.89-line-km ground magnetic survey was conducted at Copper Valley. A binding agreement to acquire Wyemandoo for AUD 100,000 cash was signed after the 30 June 2025 balance date and is a subsequent event.
The Group remained loss-making. The FY2024 and FY2025 expense layout requires a corrected presentation mapping from adjacent extracted tokens and the share option reserve movement; the year-end loss totals themselves are separately supported.

Expenses and losses are shown in parentheses. Current-year observations are used except the explicitly identified FY2024 comparative presentation mappings. The FY2023 AUD (87,598) is retained under other expenses as labelled in the FY2023 current statement.
The FY2025 extraction misplaces AUD 855,101 and AUD 1,916,718 around the share based payment, pre-tax and tax labels. The reported net loss and equity movement support the displayed expense mapping; income tax is not assigned a number from that ambiguous extraction.
FY2023 current-year other expenses include the A$87,598 amount later labelled share-based in a comparative. The later cash reconciliation reports a nil FY2023 share-based add-back; the report preserves this classification tension and does not count a second expense.

EPS is displayed as cents per share. Some extracted EPS unit metadata says dollars per share; the displayed magnitudes reconcile as cents when statutory losses are divided by weighted-average shares and multiplied by 100. Share counts are weighted averages rather than year-end issued shares. FY2023 OCI includes foreign currency translation and a reclassification on sale of the PNG subsidiary.

The FY2023 disposal reset the asset base. Convertible-note borrowings moved from non-current at 30 June 2021 to current at 30 June 2022, then the notes were converted into 170,000,000 ordinary shares following shareholder approval on 24 April 2023. Australian exploration assets rose in FY2024 and FY2025.

FY2023 current and non-current borrowing lines are nil after the notes were converted into 170,000,000 shares following 24 April 2023 shareholder approval. The FY2023 sale of Copper Quest PNG also changes the asset boundary.

Additions are accrual asset movements by jurisdiction, distinct from investing cash payments. The large FY2023 fall in the carrying amount reflects the PNG subsidiary disposal; it is not a cash expense of that year.
PNG subsidiary additions are not applicable to the continuing group after the FY2023 sale of Copper Quest PNG; FY2024–FY2025 are not numeric zero observations for that former subsidiary.

Exploration asset payments are investing cash outflows, while the FY2023 disposal cash proceeds and subsequent share issues appear in separate lines. This distinction matters when comparing operating cash use with changes in closing cash.

Cash investing payments for exploration are period cash flows, not the carrying amount of exploration assets. The FY2023 disposal proceeds are net of cash disposed and remain visible separately from recurring exploration payments.
Rows not separately shown in a selected year's cash-flow statement remain presentation states; they are not zero cash flows or substitutes for accrual P&L lines.

The FY2023 cancellation of shares formed part of the PNG subsidiary transaction. The company reported no dividends paid across the five years; later equity funding increased shares on issue.
