MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a)
Basis of preparation of the half-year financial report
This general purpose condensed consolidated financial report for the three and nine months ended 31 March 2025
has been prepared in accordance with AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001.
The unaudited Interim financial report does not include all notes of the type normally included within the annual
financial report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance,
financial position and financing and investing activities of the Group as the full financial report.
It is recommended that the unaudited interim financial report be read in conjunction with the annual report and half
year financial report of Westgold for the year ended 30 June 2024 and period ended 31 December 2024. These should
be considered together with any public announcements made by Westgold and its controlled entities during the three
and nine months ended 31 March 2025 in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations of the ASX and TSX
listing rules.
The financial report is presented in Australian dollars (A$) unless otherwise specified.
(b)
Basis of consolidation and business combination
The Unaudited Interim financial report is comprised of the financial statements of Westgold (the Company) and its
controlled entities (the Group).
The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using
consistent accounting policies.
All intercompany balances and transactions, including unrealised profits arising from intra-group transactions, have
been eliminated in full.
Controlled entities are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be
consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group. Refer to note 23, for the change in
ownership of controlled entities during the three and nine months period.
Where there is loss of control of a controlled entity, the consolidated financial statements include the results for the
part of the reporting period during which the Company has control.
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as
the aggregate of the consideration transferred, which is measured at acquisition date fair value, and the amount of
any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Group elects whether to measure
the noncontrolling interests in the acquiree at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable
net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred and included in Acquisition costs unless they are
directly attributable to issuance of new shares as part of the business combination, in which case they are accounted
for directly in equity.

During the nine months ended 31 March 2025, the Group incurred $34,057,528 (2024: $17,152,416) in relation to

FINANCIAL LIABILITY – ROYALTY
The Group has a participation royalty agreement with Morgan Stanley (“Participation Royalty”), which was inherited
through the acquisition of Karora (refer to note 24). The Group shall pay Morgan Stanley 27.5% of the first 2,500 troy
ounces of gold sold from Higginsville in each quarter, multiplied by the difference between the average gold London
pm fix price for that quarter and A$1,340 per ounce. The Group may terminate its obligation to pay participation
royalties on or after 1 January 2035 (unless extended under certain conditions) by paying US$0.7 million. The Group
has recognised a derivative liability for the participation royalty agreement which is fair valued at each reporting
period.
The fair value of the financial instrument not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques.
These valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data where it is available. If all significant inputs
required to measure the fair value of an instrument are observable, the instrument is included as a Level 2
measurement. As the discount rate is not an observable input, the Participation Royalty liability is classified within
Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The participation royalty obligation was estimated using a forward contract valuation approach model. The key inputs
used in the valuation include:
•
the gold forward price curve;
•
USD/AUD foreign exchange rates based on forward curves;
•
discount rates incorporating the Group’s estimated credit spread of 2.93% as at 31 March 2025 (3.41% as at
31 July 2024);
•
a current risk-free rate based on the Australian dollar swaps curve; and
•
the Group’s estimated gold ounce delivery into the participation royalty.
The following table reflects the movements in the liability:

OPERATING SEGMENTS
For management purposes, the Group is organised into operating segments determined by the location of the mineral
being mined or explored, as these are the sources of the Group’s major risks and have the most effect on rates of
return.
The operating segments reported including comparatives have been updated in the current financial year as a result
of the merger with Karora and in accordance with current operations strategy, key decision making and segment
information provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), being the executive management team. The
previously identified operating segments were combined into one Murchison segment and newly acquired operations
of Karora were identified as Southern Goldfields segment.
