7、RS LETTERDear Fellow Shareholders,On behalf of the Board of Directors,I am pleased to present the Annual Report of Alchemy Resources Limited for the year ended 30 June 2024.The 2024 financial year was a particularly challenging period for junior explorers with difficult equity and commodity market c
8、onditions resulting in subdued investor interest in the sector.However,despite these headwinds we continued to advance our portfolio in readiness to capitalise on the inevitable change in investor sentiment that lies ahead.In last years Chairs letter,I noted that Alchemy holds five main projects cov
9、ering a range of commodities including gold,lithium,base metals,nickel and cobalt,all located in mining friendly parts of Australia and each with the potential to host“company making”deposits.During the period iron ore was added to the mix following the announcement of high-grade rock chip results f
10、rom our Valley Bore Iron Ore prospect in the Bryah Basin.A significant achievement during FY2024 was completion of an access agreement with the Traditional Owners of the land at Alchemys Overflow,Yellow Mountain and West Lynn projects in New South Wales.We are particularly excited about the potentia
11、l at Yellow Mountain,a very promising base metal-gold target which has not been explored since 1986,and this agreement,which was close to five years in the making,paves the way for drilling to commence early 2025.We made further progress at our 100%owned Karonie and Lake Rebecca projects in Western
12、Australia with soil sampling outlining broad lithium anomalism over large areas at the Roe Hills and Manhattan prospects.Karonie and Lake Rebecca are also very prospective for gold and Alchemy plans to build on the 111,000oz3 gold resource already delineated at Karonie in the coming period.The Bryah
13、 Basin Gold Joint Venture,also in WA,continued to be explored at no cost to Alchemy by partner Catalyst Metals(ASX:CYL).Given record gold prices Catalyst is evaluating the potential to include the Hermes South deposit(and any additional resources outlined at the Joint Venture)as open pit feed for th
14、eir Plutonic Mine,65km to the north-east.As noted above,Alchemy confirmed high-grade iron ore outcrops at Valley Bore,following the withdrawal of Sandfire Resources(ASX:SFR)from the Bryah Basin Base Metals Joint Venture.Surprisingly Valley Bore has never been drilled,with early drill testing a high
15、priority for the Company.Alchemys portfolio includes several high-quality,drill ready targets,any one of which could add significant value to the Company on exploration success,and full credit must go to CEO James Wilson and the rest of our small but dedicated team for their hard work and persistenc
16、e in advancing these opportunities during FY2024.I would also like to thank my fellow Board members and you,our shareholders,for your support and patience over the past year and we look forward to early success in the coming period.Lindsay Dudfield Chair ANNUAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2024 Page 4 of 84 KEY I

148、E 2024 Page 34 of 84 DIRECTORS REPORT Your Directors present their report on the consolidated entity consisting of Alchemy Resources Limited(“the Company”)and its subsidiaries(“the Group”or“the Consolidated Entity”)at the end of the year ended 30 June 2024.DIRECTORS The following persons were direct
149、ors of Alchemy Resources Limited during the whole of the financial year and up to the date of this report unless noted otherwise:Lindsay Dudfield,Non-Executive Chair Liza Carpene,Non-Executive Director Anthony Ho,Non-Executive Director PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES During the year,the principal activity of t
150、he Group was exploration for gold,lithium,base metals and cobalt.During the year,there was no change in the nature of this activity.FINANCIAL RESULTS The consolidated loss of the Group after providing for income tax for the year ended 30 June 2024 was$1,480,906(2023:$712,569).DIVIDENDS No dividends
151、have been paid or declared since the start of the financial year.No recommendation for the payment of a dividend has been made by the Directors.OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL REVIEW Information on the operations of the Group and its prospects is set out in the“Review of Activities”section of this Annual R
152、eport.MATERIAL BUSINESS RISKS The Company operates in an environment where it is exposed to a range of business risks that have the potential to impact on the Companys business plans and strategy,and financial position.The Board and management make every effort to identify material risks.The Company
153、 aims to manage the exposure to these risks by carefully planning its activities and implementing risk control measures.Some of the risks are,however,highly unpredictable and the extent to which the Board can effectively manage them is limited.Tenure and access risk Applications While the Company do
154、es not anticipate there to be any issues with the grant of its tenement applications(see Tenement Schedule),there can be no assurance that the application(or any future applications)will be granted.While the Company considers the risk to be low,there can also be no assurance that when the relevant t
155、enement is granted,it will be granted in its entirety.Some of the tenement areas applied for may be excluded.DIRECTORS REPORT ANNUAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2024 Page 35 of 84 Renewal Mining and exploration tenements are subject to periodic renewal.The renewal of the term of granted tenements is subject to t
156、he discretion of the relevant authority.Renewal conditions may include increased expenditure and work commitments or compulsory relinquishment of areas of the tenements.The imposition of new conditions or the inability to meet those conditions may adversely affect the operations,financial position a
157、nd/or performance of the Company.Access A number of the tenements overlap certain third-party interests that may limit the Companys ability to conduct exploration and mining activities,including private land,Crown Reserves,areas on which native title is yet to be determined and other forms of tenure
158、 for railways,pipelines and similar third-party interests.Where the Companys projects overlap private land,exploration and mining activity on the projects may require authorisation or consent from the owners of that land.The Company may be required to enter into land access agreements and carry out
159、heritage clearance surveys before implementing its proposed exploration program.The Companys current proposed exploration program is not impacted by the known sites of registered aboriginal heritage significance.Exploration risk Potential investors should understand that mineral exploration and deve
160、lopment are high-risk undertakings.There can be no assurance that exploration of the Companys projects,or any other tenements that may be acquired in the future,will result in the discovery of an economic ore deposit.Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified,there is no guarantee that it ca
161、n be economically exploited.The success of the Company will also depend upon the Company having access to sufficient development capital,being able to maintain title to its projects and obtaining all required approvals for its activities.In the event that exploration programs prove to be unsuccessfu
162、l this could lead to a diminution in the value of the tenements,a reduction in the cash reserves of the Company and possible relinquishment of its projects.Climate change risk The operations and activities of the Company are subject to changes to local or international compliance regulations related
163、 to climate change mitigation efforts,specific taxation or penalties for carbon emissions or environmental damage and other possible restraints on industry that may further impact the Company.While the Company will endeavour to manage these risks and limit any consequential impacts,there can be no g
164、uarantee that the Company will not be impacted by these occurrences.Climate change may also cause certain physical and environmental risks that cannot be predicted by the Company,including events such as increased severity of weather patterns,incidence of extreme weather events and longer-term physi
165、cal risks such as shifting climate patterns.All these risks associated with climate change may significantly change the industry in which the Company operates.Reliance on key personnel risk The Companys future depends,in part,on its ability to attract and retain key personnel.It may not be able to h
166、ire and retain such personnel at compensation levels consistent with its existing compensation and salary structure.Its future also depends on the continued contributions of its key management and technical personnel,the loss of whose services would be difficult to replace.In addition,the inability
167、to continue to attract appropriately qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business.DIRECTORS REPORT ANNUAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2024 Page 36 of 84 Environmental risk The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to Australian laws and regulations con
168、cerning the environment.As with most exploration projects and mining operations,the Companys activities are expected to have an impact on the environment,particularly if advanced exploration or mine development proceeds.It is the Companys intention to conduct its activities to the highest standard o
169、f environmental obligation,including compliance with all environmental laws.The disposal of mining and process waste and mine water discharge are under constant legislative scrutiny and regulation.There is a risk that environmental laws and regulations become more onerous making the Companys operati
170、ons more expensive.Approvals are required for land clearing and for ground disturbing activities.Delays in obtaining such approvals can result in the delay to anticipated exploration programmes or mining activities.Native title risk The Native Title Act 1993 recognises and protects the rights and in
171、terests in Australia of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in land and waters,according to their traditional laws and customs.There is significant uncertainty associated with Native Title in Australia and this may impact on the Companys operations and future plans.The Company may be requir
172、ed to enter into land access agreements to undertake its proposed exploration program on the tenements and heritage clearance surveys before implementing its proposed exploration program.The Companys current proposed exploration program is not impacted by the known sites of registered aboriginal her
173、itage significance.Economic risk General economic conditions,introduction of tax reform,new legislation,movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company,as well as on its ability to fund its operations.Additional requirements for capital
174、 risk The Group has considered its ability to continue as a going concern for at least the next 12 months from the approval of these financial statements,taking into consideration an estimation of the expected cash flows based on the needs of the business.This assessment assumes the Group will be ab
175、le to realise assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of business beyond this period.The Board does recognise that future capital requirements depend on numerous factors,with additional equity financing causing a dilution of shareholdings and debt financing,if available,potentially i
176、nvolving restrictions on financing and operating activities.If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed,it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations.There is however no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure any additional funding or be able to secure fun
177、ding on terms favourable to the Company.FINANCIAL Exploration and evaluation costs totalling$1,065,267(2023:$305,660)were written off during the year in accordance with the Groups accounting policy.As at 30 June 2024,the Group had net assets of$13,251,211(2023:$14,621,911)including cash and cash equ
178、ivalents of$3,012,655(2023:$5,005,228).DIRECTORS REPORT ANNUAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2024 Page 37 of 84 SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the financial year.EVENTS SINCE THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR As announced on 30
179、September 2024,Alchemy,via its wholly owned subsidiary Goldtribe Corporation Pty Ltd(“Goldtribe”),has entered into a farm-in and joint venture(“JV”)agreement with Japan Organization for Metals and Energy Security(“JOGMEC”).The JV covers sections of the Roe Hills target areas covering 248km2 of Alche
180、mys 694km2 Karonie Lithium and Gold Project.The areas are considered highly prospective for the discovery of lithium similar in style to the neighbouring Manna lithium deposit owned by GL1 located in the adjacent tenure to the east.Pursuant to the JV agreement,JOGMEC has the right to earn 51%interes
181、t by expending$6,000,000 by 31 March 2029 with a minimum expenditure commitment of$600,000 by 31 March 2025.Alchemy will manage exploration during the farm-in period.The farm-in and JV is subject to Australian Foreign Investment Review Board approval.Apart from the above,there has not arisen in the
182、interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this report any other item,transaction or event of a material and unusual nature likely,in the opinion of the Directors,to affect significantly the operations,the results of those operations,or the state of affairs of the Group in future
183、 financial years.LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Directors are not aware of any developments that might have a significant effect on the operations of the Group in subsequent financial years not already disclosed in this report.ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION The Group is subject
184、 to significant environmental regulation in respect of its exploration activities.Tenements in Western Australia and New South Wales are granted subject to adherence to environmental conditions with strict controls on clearing,including a prohibition on the use of mechanised equipment or development
185、 without the approval of the relevant Government agencies,and with rehabilitation required on completion of exploration activities.These regulations are controlled by the Department of Mines,Industry Regulation and Safety(Western Australia)and the Department of Planning and Environment(New South Wal
186、es).Alchemy Resources Limited conducts its exploration activities in an environmentally sensitive manner and the Group is not aware of any breach of statutory conditions or obligations.Greenhouse gas and energy data reporting requirements The Directors have considered compliance with the National Gr
187、eenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 which requires entities to report annual greenhouse gas emissions and energy use.The Directors have assessed that there are no current reporting requirements for the year ended 30 June 2024,however reporting requirements may change in the future.DIRECTORS REPOR

207、field Non-Executive Chair L Carpene Non-Executive Director A Ho Non-Executive Director J Wilson Chief Executive Officer b)Remuneration governance and the use of remuneration consultants The Company does not have a Remuneration Committee.Remuneration matters are handled by the full Board of the Compa
208、ny.In this respect the Board is responsible for:the over-arching executive remuneration framework;the operation of the incentive plans which apply to executive directors and senior executives(the Executive Team),including key performance indicators and performance hurdles;remuneration levels of exec
209、utives;and Non-Executive Director fees.The objective of the Board is to ensure that remuneration policies and structures are fair and competitive and aligned with the long-term interests of the Company.In addition,all matters of remuneration are handled in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 r
210、equirements,especially with regard to related party transactions.That is,none of the Directors participate in any deliberations regarding their own remuneration or related issues.Independent external advice is sought from remuneration consultants when required,however no advice was sought during the
211、 year ended 30 June 2024.c)Executive remuneration policy and framework In determining executive remuneration,the Board aims to ensure that remuneration practices are:competitive and reasonable,enabling the Company to attract and retain key talent;aligned to the Companys strategic and business object
212、ives and the creation of shareholder value;transparent and easily understood;and acceptable to shareholders.All executives receive a salary or consulting fees,which is inclusive of superannuation,and from time to time,equity incentives.The Board reviews executive packages annually by reference to th
213、e executives performance and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries.All remuneration paid to specified executives is valued at the cost to the Group and expensed.Options and Performance Rights are valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing mode
214、l and Monte Carlo simulations model.DIRECTORS REPORT ANNUAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2024 Page 41 of 84 d)Relationship between remuneration and the Groups performance Emoluments of Directors are set by reference to payments made by other companies of similar size and industry,and by reference to the skills an
215、d experience of Directors.Fees paid to Non-Executive Directors are not linked to the performance of the Group.This policy may change once the exploration phase is complete and the Group is generating revenue.At present the existing remuneration policy is not impacted by the Groups performance includ
216、ing earnings and changes in shareholder wealth(e.g.,changes in share price).The Board has set performance indicators,such as movements in the Companys share price,for the determination of the Chief Executive Officer emolument as the Board believes this may encourage performance which is in the long-
217、term interests of the Company and its shareholders.The Board has structured its remuneration arrangements in such a way it believes is in the best interests of building shareholder wealth in the longer term and that it is fit for purpose at this time.The Board believes participation in the Companys
218、Employee Securities Incentive Plan motivates key management and executives with the long-term interests of shareholders.Refer note 22 for more details.e)Non-Executive Director remuneration policy On appointment to the Board,all Non-Executive Directors enter into a service agreement with the Company
219、in the form of a letter of appointment.The letter summarises the Board policies and terms,including remuneration relevant to the office of the director.The Board policy is to remunerate Non-Executive Directors at commercial market rates for comparable companies for their time,commitment and responsi
220、bilities.Non-Executive Directors receive a Board fee but do not receive fees for chairing or participating on Board committees.Board members are allocated superannuation guarantee contributions as required by law,and do not receive any other retirement benefits.From time to time,some individuals may
221、 choose to sacrifice their salary or consulting fees to increase payments towards superannuation.The maximum annual aggregate Non-Executive Directors fee pool limit is$250,000 and was approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on 22 July 2008.Fees for Non-Executive Directors are not
222、 linked to the performance of the Group.Non-Executive Directors remuneration may also include an incentive portion consisting of options,subject to approval by shareholders.f)Statutory performance indicators The Board aims to align executive remuneration to Alchemys strategic and business objectives
223、 and the creation of shareholder wealth.The table below shows measures of the Groups financial performance over the last five years as required by the Corporations Act 2001.However,these are not necessarily consistent with the measures used in determining the variable amounts of remuneration to be a
224、warded to key management personnel.As a consequence,there may not always be a direct correlation between the statutory key performance measures and the variable remuneration awarded.DIRECTORS REPORT ANNUAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2024 Page 42 of 84 2024 2023 2022 2021 2020 Total comprehensive loss for the ye

291、horised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 30 September 2024.Alchemy Resources Limited is a for-profit company incorporated in Australia and limited by shares which are publicly quoted on the Australian Securities Exchange.The nature of the operation and principal activiti
292、es of the consolidated entity are described in the attached Directors Report.The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below and have been applied consistently to all periods presented in the consolidated financial statements
293、and by all entities in the consolidated entity.NOTE 2:MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION These general-purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards,other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board,Urgent Issues
294、Group Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001.Compliance with IFRS The consolidated financial statements of Alchemy Resources Limited also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards(“IFRS”)as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board(“IASB”).New and amended accounting
295、 standards and interpretations adopted by the Group The accounting standards and interpretations relevant to the operations of the Group are consistent with those of the previous financial year.There are some amendments and interpretations effective for the first time from 1 July 2023,although they
296、did not have any material impact on the current period or any prior period and are not likely to materially affect future periods.A number of new standards,amendments to standards and interpretations issued by the AASB which are not yet mandatorily applicable to the Group have not been applied in pr
297、eparing these consolidated financial statements and none are expected to be relevant to the Group.The Group does not plan to adopt these standards early.a)Basis of measurement Historical Cost Convention These consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention,e
298、xcept where stated.Critical Accounting Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates.It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Groups accounting policies.The areas involving a higher
299、 degree of judgement or complexity,or NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ANNUAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2024 Page 55 of 84 areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements,are disclosed where appropriate.b)Going Concern The financial statements have b
300、een prepared on a going concern basis,which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.The Group incurred a net loss of$1,480,906 for the year ended 30 June 2024 and had a net cash outflow f
301、rom operations including exploration expenditure totalling$1,992,572 for the period.Notwithstanding this,the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the Directors consider to be appropriate based upon the Companys ability to raise capital in the future to meet committe
302、d expenditure.The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and meet all planned exploration commitments on all areas of interest in the 12 months period from the date of these financial statements,including commitments relating to exploration activity(refer Note 20),is dependent on the
303、Company being able to raise additional funds as required to meet these ongoing and budgeted exploration commitments and for working capital.These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern and,therefore,it may
304、be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.The Directors believe that they will be able to raise additional capital as required and are in the process of evaluating the Companys cash requirements.The Directors believe that the Company will continue
305、 as a going concern.As a result,the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.Should the going concern basis not be appropriate,the entity may have to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business and at amounts different from
306、those stated in the financial statements.No allowance for such circumstances has been made in the financial statements.c)Principles of consolidation Subsidiaries The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of the Company as at 30 June 2024 and the
307、 results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended.The Company and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as the Group or the consolidated entity.Subsidiaries are all entities(including structured entities)over which the Group has control.The Group controls an entity wh
308、en the Group is exposed to,or has rights to,variable returns from its investment with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity.The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group.Subsidi
309、aries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group.They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.Intercompany transactions,balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated.Unrealised losses are also eliminated unle
310、ss the transaction provides NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ANNUAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2024 Page 56 of 84 evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset.Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.No
311、n-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income,consolidated statement of financial position and the consolidated statement of changes in equity respectively.d)Critical accounting ju
312、dgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty The application of accounting policies requires the use of judgements,estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.The estimates and associated assumptions are based on hi
313、storical 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 ongoing basis.Revisions are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if it affects only that period,or
314、in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.e)Functional and presentation currency The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars,which is the Groups functional and presentation currency.f)Exploration and evaluat
315、ion Exploration and evaluation expenditure in relation to separate areas of interest for which rights of tenure are current is carried forward as an asset in the statement of financial position where it is expected that the expenditure will be recovered through the successful development and exploit
316、ation of an area of interest,or by its sale;or exploration activities are continuing in an area and activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable estimate of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves.Where a project or an area of interest has been abandoned,the
317、 expenditure incurred thereon is written off in the year in which the decision is made.g)Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand,deposits held at call with financial institutions,other short-term,highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or
318、less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.For the statement of cash flows presentation purposes,cash and cash equivalents also includes bank overdrafts,which are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the
319、statement of financial position.h)Issued capital Ordinary shares are classified as equity.Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction,net of tax,from the proceeds.NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ANNUAL REPORT 30 JUNE
320、 2024 Page 57 of 84 i)Rounding of amounts The company is of a kind referred to in Corporations Instrument 2016/191,issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission,relating to rounding-off.Amounts in this report have been rounded off in accordance with that Corporations Instrument to t
