b'CENTAURUS METALS ANNUAL REPORT 2023Financial Report31 December 2023Exploration and evaluation assets are transferred to Development Assets once technical feasibility and commercial viability of an area of interest is demonstrable.Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment and any impairment loss is recognised prior to being reclassified. The carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective area of interest. Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability or facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. Exploration and evaluation assets are tested for impairment when any of the following facts and circumstances exist: The term of exploration license in the specific area of interest has expired during the reporting period or will expire in the near future and is not expected to be renewed; Substantive expenditures on further exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area are not budgeted nor planned; Explorationforandevaluationofmineralresourcesinthespecificareahasnotledtothediscoveryof commercially viable quantities of mineral resources and the decision was made to discontinue such activities in the specified area; or Sufficient data exists to indicate that although a development in the specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development or by sale. Where a potential impairment is indicated, an assessment is performed for each cash-generating unit which is no larger than the area of interest.The Group performs impairment testing in accordance with the Accounting Policy as detailed below. Leases A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset recognised by the Group is initially measured at cost, comprised of the initial measurement of the related lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the commencement of the contract, less any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs and any restoration costs. Subsequently the asset is measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for certain re-measurements of the lease liability. Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter period of either the useful life of the underlying asset or the lease term. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be determined the lessees incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate the lessee would have to pay to borrow funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions.The lease liability is subsequently increased by the interest costs on the lease liability and decreased by lease payments made. It is re-measured where there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index rate, or as appropriate, changes in the assessment of whether an extension option is reasonably certain to be exercised. The Group applies the low-value assets and the short-term lease exemptions to leases. Lease payments on short term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Asset AcquisitionWhen an asset acquisition does not constitute a business combination, the assets and liabilities are assigned a carrying amount based on their relative fair values. No deferred tax is recognised in relation to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities as the initial recognition exemption for deferred tax under AASB 112 applies. No goodwill will arise on the acquisition of the net assets and transaction costs relating to the asset acquisition will be included in the capitalised cost of the asset. Any contingentconsideration arising from the acquisition will be recognised at fairvalue at the acquisition date. Contingent consideration classified as a liability that is a financial instrument and within the scope of AASB 9 is measured atfairvalue,withchangesinfairvaluerecognisedinprofitorlossinthestatementofprofitorlossandother comprehensive income in accordance with AASB 9.Page 33 of 54 ANNUAL REPORT CENTAURUS METALS LIMITED CENTAURUS METALS LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 6160'
