CHAIRMAN’S LETTER
Dear Shareholder,
On behalf of the Board, I am pleased to present the 2025 Annual Report for Accelerate Resources Limited.
This year has been one of transition and progress, marked by the launch of our new gold strategy in the
prolific Kalgoorlie region of Western Australia. Early exploration success at Kanowna East has validated our
model, with drilling at Little Lake intercepting gold in a brecciated intrusive unit. At Western Tiger, drilling
confirmed a siliceous-sulphide structure along a +3km corridor, opening a new exploration target. At the
same time, our team has been advancing work across our lithium and manganese portfolios.
In January, Accelerate acquired a 70% interest in Kanowna East, strategically located near Kalgoorlie. Our
maiden RC drilling program in July confirmed gold mineralisation in intrusive rocks and paleo-gravels at
Little Lake, highlighted by 11m @ 1.05 g/t Au with grades up to 4.1 g/t Au. At Western Tiger, drilling
outlined a sulphide-rich redox horizon, strongly anomalous in arsenic — a classic gold pathfinder. These
results confirm the strength of our exploration model and the potential for Kanowna East to drive future
value.
At Comet in the Murchison, we completed a regional review and secured a new tenement, identifying three
high-priority gold targets near Westgold’s Tuckabianna mill. Negotiations with third parties are underway to
advance this prospective package.
Our lithium portfolio also strengthened, with spodumene confirmed at Mt Sholl East, while at Woodie
Woodie North we assessed the potential for high-grade direct shipping manganese ore (DSO). Engagement
with development or divestment partners is ongoing, supported by recent neighbouring successes that
highlight the broader district potential.
Financially, Accelerate enhanced its balance sheet through a $1.35 million placement in January and the
non-dilutive sale of Vytas shares in May, generating $2 million in cash. The Company closed the year with
$2.87 million in cash, providing a strong base for exploration in 2026.
I also wish to acknowledge and thank Ms Yaxi Zhan, a founding director of Accelerate, who stepped down
from her role as Executive Director in January. Yaxi played an important role in the establishment and
development of the Company, and we greatly value her contribution.
I extend my thanks to our team for their commitment, and to the Traditional Owners of the lands on which
we operate for their continued support. Finally, to you, our shareholders, your confidence and backing are
deeply appreciated.
Accelerate enters 2026 with strong momentum and the foundations in place to deliver on our strategy of
value creation through exploration.
Yours sincerely,
Richard Hill
Non-Executive Chairman

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
Accelerate Resources Limited (“Accelerate” or “the Company”) is an emerging mineral exploration company
focused on the discovery and development of gold and critical minerals. The Company is committed to
creating shareholder value through exploration success, project de-risking, and growth via strategic
acquisitions and partnerships.
Accelerate’s portfolio includes the Kanowna East Gold Project in the prolific Kalgoorlie region of Western
Australia, the Karratha Lithium Projects in the West Pilbara, the Woodie Woodie North Manganese Project in
the East Pilbara, and the Comet Gold Project in the Murchison (Figure 1).
During the 2025 financial year, the Company advanced Kanowna East with its maiden drilling program, while
also progressing exploration across Comet, Karratha Lithium, and Woodie Woodie North.
Together, these projects provide significant opportunities for discovery and development, positioning
Accelerate to benefit from the growing global demand for gold and critical minerals.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND RESULTS
KANOWNA EAST GOLD PROJECT (KALGOORLIE, WA)
In January 2025, Accelerate executed an Agreement with Metal Hawk Limited (ASX:MHK) to acquire a 70%
interest in the Kanowna East Gold Project. The project is strategically located 25km northeast of Kalgoorlie
and only 9km from the +6Moz Kanowna Belle gold mine, within one of Australia’s most productive gold belts
(Figure 2). The ~100km² landholding remains underexplored despite its favourable structural and geological
setting, largely due to the basement being obscured beneath transported cover.

SYSTEMATIC WORK-UP IN 2025
Following acquisition, Accelerate undertook a comprehensive data-driven approach to refine high-priority
targets ahead of drilling. Key activities included:
•
Acquisition of additional datasets including open-file geochemistry, geophysics, and historic drill
records to build a consolidated geological model.
•
Litho-geochemical and alteration mapping, which highlighted pathfinder anomalies associated with
gold mineralisation.
•
Geochemical analysis that identified anomalous arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), and tungsten (W) across
several corridors, consistent with Archean gold systems.
•
Processing of historic gravity data identified a series of previously unrecognised NE-trending shear
zones between the primary Reidy and Mt Monger Faults (Figure 3).
•
Litho-geochemistry classified a felsic intrusive at Western Tiger which appears to have been emplaced
along the Reidy Fault, a prospective location for shearing and gold mineralisation.
This systematic work program provided a strong geological foundation, enabling Accelerate to define targets
and design its maiden RC drilling campaign at the Little Lake and Western Tiger Prospects.

MAIDEN RC DRILLING SUCCESS
In June 2025, Accelerate commenced its maiden RC program of 10 holes totalling 1,662m (Figure 4), marking
a significant milestone in the Company’s gold strategy. While drill site access was restricted pending
completion of a new heritage survey, the program successfully confirmed gold mineralisation in both
intermediate intrusive rocks and paleo-gravels at the Little Lake prospect (Figures 5 & 6), including:
•
11m @ 1.05 g/t Au from 72m, including 1m @ 4.1 g/t Au from 114m and 2m @ 2.0 g/t Au from 131m
(25KERC003).

The mineralisation is associated with strong pyrite and sericite alteration, supporting a model of structurally
controlled gold within intrusive rocks. Follow-up drilling will target defining the orientation and continuity of
this unit and test for extensions.
Significant visible gold was also present in a paleo-gravels, horizon between 72-76m in KERC003 contributing
4m @1.2 g/t Au to the total 11m intercepts of 1.05 g/t Au1.

Cautionary Statement: Visual mineral abundance should never be considered a proxy or substitute for
laboratory analysis, or definitive measure of mineralisation or economic potential. Visual estimates also
potentially provide no information regarding impurities or deleterious physical properties relevant to
valuations. Assay and drillhole information is tabled below in this release.
At the Western Tiger prospect, drilling intersected a highly siliceous, sulphide-rich horizon developed between
dacite and porphyry sequences (Figure 7). This sulphide zone is interpreted to represent a redox front, which
provides a favorable chemical environment for gold mineralisation when cross-cut by late structures.
The horizon is strongly anomalous in arsenic (up to 16m @ 212ppm As from 77m in 25KERC008), further
supporting its prospectivity. Geological interpretation indicates this sulphidic front may extend for more than
3km of strike based on historic geochemical datasets which defined the Company’s original geological model.
Follow-up reconnaissance drilling is planned to test structural intersections along this horizon for gold
mineralisation.

STRATEGIC SIGNIFICANCE AND NEXT STEPS
These results validate Accelerate’s integrated exploration model and highlight the dual opportunity for
basement-hosted gold in intrusive and paleo-surface gold in paleochannels. The 2025 exploration program
has confirmed the effectiveness of Accelerate’s targeting approach at Kanowna East, positioning the Company
for a productive and results-focused year ahead. With heritage surveys completed in mid-September 2025,
Accelerate is preparing for an expanded drilling campaign targeting:
•
Orientation RC drilling at Little Lake to define continuity of the intrusive-hosted gold zone.
•
Structural drilling at Western Tiger to test along the sulphide-rich horizon.
•
Advance testing of the paleochannel system where Western Tiger gold mineralisation has already
been defined over 600m strike and up to 104m width.
•
Aircore programs across regional targets including Perkolilli, Dingo Dam and Dingo Dam South.
The systematic exploration program, culminating in the maiden RC success, highlights the strong potential of
Kanowna East and provides a solid platform for continued exploration in the Eastern Goldfields.

KARRATHA LITHIUM PROJECTS
PRINCEP LITHIUM PROJECT
The Karratha Lithium Projects is situated 15km south of the regional centre of Karratha and 35km west of
Azure Minerals Andover Lithium Project. Prinsep forms part of the Company’s 100% owned Karratha Lithium
Projects portfolio which encompasses approximately 85km2 of prospective tenure within the emerging
Karratha – Roebourne hard-rock lithium belt (Figure 8).
Figure 8: AX8 Karratha Lithium Project with local infrastructure and Lithium prospect trends
At Prinsep, lithium mineralisation has been defined across two sub-parallel pegmatite zones, each over
1,800m in length with rock chip sample assays results ranging up to 2.06% Li2O2.
In June 2024 Accelerate completed its phase 1 RC drilling program that was designed to test the down dip
lithium potential of the mapped outcropping pegmatite mineralisation. The drill program consisting of 38 drill

o 11m @ 0.56% Li2O from 16 – 27m within drill hole PRC028
Figure 9: Prinsep Phase 1 RC drill hole collar locations along with x-section position.
An important outcome of the program was the discovery of a wide low-grade lithium alteration halo,
estimated to be greater than 150m true width, with a strike in excess of 1,600m. Significantly, the lithium
mineralisation is developed in basalt interspersed with higher grade lithium pegmatites (Figure 10).

Interpretation of the Phase 1 RC drilling program at Prinsep was completed during the financial year,
supported by detailed geochemical, petrographic, and spectroscopic analysis. Results indicate that the
northern portion of the pegmatite system is prospective for higher-grade lithium mineralisation at depth
(Figure 11). Lithium, caesium, and tantalum assays, combined with fractionation indexes, have been used to
vector prospectivity along the 1.6km–2.0km strike length of the pegmatite system.

High-grade caesium mineralisation intersected within pegmatite shoots — including 2m @ 0.24% Cs₂O from
187m in PR035 and 4m @ 0.24% Cs₂O from 200m in PR0364 provides further support for the potential of
higher-grade lithium mineralisation at depth.
In addition, Raman spectral analysis of a broad low-grade lithium interval within the basalt host rock
confirmed the presence of Holmquistite, a lithium-bearing amphibole typically formed in reaction zones
between Li-pegmatites and their host rocks. Holmquistite has been recognised in tier-one LCT pegmatite
systems globally, including Greenbushes.
When considered alongside the fractionated nature of the northern pegmatite, these results highlight the
potential for a significantly larger pegmatite system at depth.
MT SHOLL EAST PROJECT
Mapping and rock chip sampling were advanced during the reporting period, leading to the identification of
numerous new north-east to south-west trending pegmatites and granitic dykes in the northern portion of
the project.
Field work to date has confirmed the southern extent of pegmatite development as being defined by the Mt
Sholl Shear Zone — a regionally significant crustal margin separating two geological domains within the West
Pilbara greenstone belt. To the north, pegmatites are strongly associated with localised shear zones within
the north-east to south-west structural fabric, as well as lithological contacts within basalts and cherts of the
Ruth Well Formation and gabbro’s of the Andover mafic intrusive suite — the same host rocks as Azure
Minerals’ Andover lithium discovery.

In November 2024, a rock chip sample containing spodumene was identified from a 70m long east-west
trending pegmatite with unusual mineral textures. Raman spectral analysis confirmed the presence of
spodumene, validating the project’s lithium prospectivity. However, assays from the sample site returned no
significant lithium grades, highlighting the need for further exploration to define additional lithium-bearing
pegmatites.
NEXT STEPS
While planning for a Phase 2 diamond drill program has been completed, Accelerate is taking a measured
approach to timing further drilling, mindful of prevailing lithium market conditions. Instead, the Company is
focused on maximising the value of the data generated from the Phase 1 RC program, which confirmed the
scale and fertility of the Prinsep pegmatite system and identified multiple priority targets at depth.
Discussions are ongoing with potential strategic partners who have expressed interest in reviewing the
results, particularly as consolidation opportunities emerge across this highly prospective lithium province -
host to the significant greenfield discovery at Andover. Accelerate believes that as market conditions improve,
the combination of scale potential, geological fertility, and strategic location will position its projects
attractively for further advancement.
WOODIE WOODIE NORTH MANGANESE PROJECT, WA
The Woodie Woodie North Manganese Project is a strategically consolidated package of tenure located along
the Woodie Woodie Manganese Corridor, approximately 240km east of Port Hedland and 70km north of
Consolidated Minerals’ operating Woodie Woodie Manganese Mine (Figure 12). The project covers 432km²
of highly prospective Proterozoic sediments and incorporates six mapped large-scale manganese corridors
extending over 35km of strike.
Exploration drilling to date has delivered a maiden Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) of 1.2Mt at
19.1% Mn (at a 15% Mn cut-off) and defined Exploration Targets of 5.3–10.7Mt at 10–19% Mn (Figure 11 and
Table 1). This work highlights the scale potential of Woodie Woodie North as a high-grade manganese project,
with the MRE supported by both historical drilling and Accelerate’s RC drilling campaigns completed in 2022
and 2023 across Barra North (Area 1), Barra South (Areas 3 and 4), andArea 425.
Cautionary Statement: The potential quantity and grade of any Exploration Target described in this
announcement is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral
Resource in accordance with the JORC Code (2012), and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the
estimation of a Mineral Resource. The Exploration Target is not being reported as part of a Mineral Resource
or Ore Reserve.

Notes:
•
The Woodie Woodie North Project inferred mineralisation estimate is based on the November 2023 MRE
(JORC 2012) reported on the 30th November 2023 by ERM (formerly CSA). The company annually reviews
its material resources at the end of each calendar year as per Clause 15 of the JORC Code 2015.
•
Mineral Resources reported at cut-offs of 15% Mn
•
Due to the effects of rounding, the total may not represent the sum of all components.
During the year, Accelerate advanced initiatives to unlock value from the project by assessing its potential to
produce high-grade direct shipping ore (DSO) manganese (>35% Mn). Historic drilling, surface rock samples,
and mapping were reviewed to evaluate areas of supergene enrichment that could support early-stage mining
opportunities. In parallel, the Company engaged with third parties to explore potential earn-in, joint venture,
or divestment pathways.
Momentum in the region has been reinforced by neighbouring success at Black Canyon’s Wandanya
discovery, which has demonstrated the strong district-scale potential of the manganese belt. Accelerate’s
DSO review, coupled with ongoing discussions with interested parties, positions the Company to realise value
from Woodie Woodie North while remaining focused on advancing its gold strategy.
COMET PROJECT, WA
The 100% owned Comet Gold Project is located in the central Murchison Goldfield of Western Australia,
approximately 650km northeast of Perth and positioned mid-way between the mining centres of Mount
Magnet and Meekatharra, close to the township of Cue (Figure 14). The project covers ~68km² of highly
prospective greenstone stratigraphy within the Mount Magnet–Meekatharra belt, hosting multiple structural
corridors known for high-grade gold deposits.
The tenure includes strike extensions of the Tuckabianna Shear Zone to the northeast and the Break of Day
trend to the southwest, both of which host significant gold deposits. Compilation and reinterpretation of
historical RAB and RC data during the year highlighted several anomalous gold trends associated with banded
iron formation (BIF) lithologies, with priority targets defined at Comet East, Comet North, and the Antarctica
prospect.

Next Steps
Accelerate considers Comet a project of significant discovery potential within a highly endowed gold belt.
With the Kalgoorlie region now the Company’s primary gold focus, discussions are underway with third parties
to progress exploration at Comet through joint venture or farm-in arrangements, ensuring ongoing exposure
to exploration success while managing capital allocation.
CORPORATE
During the year, Accelerate undertook a number of initiatives to strengthen its financial position and support
the launch of its new gold strategy.
CAPITAL RAISING
On the 31 January 2025 following the announcement of Accelerates new gold strategy and project
acquisition, the Company initiated a capital raise managed by Euroz Hartleys. A firm commitment to raise
A$1.35M (before costs) was received from professional and sophisticated investors. These funds will be
used to commence exploration activities at its Kanowna East Project with the technical team commencing
on-ground exploration in early February 2025.
SALE OF VYTAS RESOURCES HOLDING
In May 2025, Accelerate strengthened its balance sheet through the non-dilutive sale of its shareholding in
Vytas Limited, generating $2 million in cash proceeds. This transaction delivered significant value to
shareholders without the need to issue additional equity and further supports the Company’s exploration
programs. The sale demonstrates Accelerate’s commitment to disciplined capital management and its ability
to unlock value from non-core investments while preserving shareholder equity.
BOARD AND MANAGEMENT
On 31 January 2025, Ms Yaxi Zhan, a founding director of Accelerate, stepped down from her role as Executive
Director. The Board acknowledges and thanks Ms Zhan for her significant contribution to the establishment
and development of the Company. During the year, the Company also confirmed the appointment of Director
Mr Grant Mooney as Company Secretary and transitioned its auditor to HLB Mann Judd.
FINANCIAL POSITION
Accelerate closed the financial year with a cash balance of $2.87 million as at 30 June 2025. This strong
position provides the Company with the flexibility to continue advancing its gold, lithium, and manganese
portfolios, while also assessing opportunities for strategic partnerships and transactions that support
shareholder value creation.

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)
This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each key management personnel of the Group,
and for the executives receiving the highest remuneration.
REMUNERATION POLICY
The remuneration policy of Accelerate Resources Limited has been designed to align key management
personnel objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component
that provides cost effective services to the Group at an early stage of its development. The Board of Accelerate
Resources Limited believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and
retain the best key management personnel to run and manage the Group, as well as create goal congruence
between directors, executives and shareholders.
The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for key management personnel
of the Group is as follows:
•
The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the key management personnel, was
developed and approved by the Board.
•
All key management personnel receive a base salary or fee appropriate to the skills and
responsibility of the role.
•
The Board reviews key management personnel packages annually by reference to the Group’s
performance, executive performance and comparable information from industry sectors.
The performance of key management personnel is measured against criteria agreed annually with each
executive and is based predominantly on the forecast development of the Group’s projects. Any bonuses or
incentives must be linked to predetermined performance criteria. The Board may, however, exercise its
discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options. Any changes must be justified by
reference to measurable performance criteria. The policy is designed to attract the highest calibre of
executives and reward them for performance that results in long-term growth in shareholder wealth.
Key management personnel are also entitled to participate in the employee share and option arrangements.
All remuneration paid to key management personnel is valued at the cost to the Group and expensed. Shares
given to key management personnel are valued as the difference between the market price of those shares
and the amount paid by key management personnel. Unlisted options are predominantly valued using the
Black-Scholes methodology.
The Board policy is to remunerate Non-Executive Directors at market rates for time, commitment and
responsibilities. The Board determines payments to the Non-Executive Directors and reviews their
remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is
sought when required. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to Non-Executive Directors
is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Fees for Non-Executive Directors are
not linked to the performance of the Group. However, to align directors’ interests with shareholder interests,
the Directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company and are able to participate in the employee
option plan.

COMPANY PERFORMANCE, SHAREHOLDER WEALTH AND DIRECTOR AND EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION
The following table shows gross income, profits (losses) and dividends for the last 5 years as a listed entity, as
well as the share price at the end of the respective financial years. As highlighted above, the Group currently

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements and notes represent those of Accelerate Resources Limited (the
‘Company’) and its controlled entities (‘Group’). The financial report was authorised for issue by the Board
on 30 September 2025. The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial
statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented,
unless otherwise stated.
Basis of Preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting
Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the
Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also
comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board ('IASB').
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the Group.
Supplementary information about the Company is disclosed in Note 23: Parent Entity Disclosures.
Except for cash flow information, the financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based
on historical costs, modified where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected financial
assets and financial liabilities. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for
assets.
The financial statements have been presented in Australian dollars (AUD), which is the Group’s functional
and presentation currency.
Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity
of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course
of business.
As disclosed in the financial statements, the Group incurred a profit of $265,752 (30 June 2024: loss of
$2,922,433), had net cash outflows from operating activities of $1,377,605 (30 June 2024: $1,667,201)
and had net cash inflow from investing activities of $1,101,096 (30 June 2024: $1,785,516 outflow) for
the year ended 30 June 2025. As at that date, the Group had net current assets of $2,471,917 (30 June
2024: $1,183,649).
Management have prepared a cash flow forecast, which indicates that the Group will have sufficient cash
flows to meet its commitments and working capital requirements for the 12 month period from the date
of this report.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.
SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Based on the cash flow forecasts and other factors referred to above, the Directors are satisfied that the
going concern basis of preparation is appropriate.
The Directors believe that it is reasonably foreseeable that the Group will continue as a going concern
and that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial report after
consideration of the above.
The full year financial report does not contain any adjustments relating to the recoverability and
classification of recorded assets or to the amounts or classification of recorded assets or liabilities that
might be necessary should the Group not be able to continue as a going concern.
New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
During the year ended 30 June 2025, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards
and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Group and effective for the year-end
reporting period beginning on or after 1 July 2024. Any new or amended standards and interpretations
that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are
not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ended 30
June 2025. None of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the
Group, are expected to have a material impact on the Group’s financial statements.

c)
Exploration and Evaluation Assets
Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of
interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through
the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that
permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.
Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the period in
which the decision to abandon the area is made. When production commences, the accumulated costs
for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion
of the economically recoverable reserves.
A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing
to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.
Costs of site restoration are provided over the life of the facility from when exploration commences and
are included in the costs of that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of
mining plant, equipment and building structures, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site in
accordance with clauses of the mining permits. Such costs have been determined using estimates of
future costs, current legal requirements and technology on an undiscounted basis.
Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted on a prospective basis. In determining the costs
of site restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to
community expectations and future legislation. Accordingly, the costs have been determined on the basis
that the restoration will be completed within one period of abandoning the site.

d) Plant and Equipment
Recognition and measurement
Items of plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset.
The gain or loss on disposal of an item of plant and equipment is determined by comparing the proceeds
from disposal with the carrying amount of plant and equipment and is recognised net within other income
/ other expenses in profit or loss.
Depreciation
Depreciation is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value. Depreciation is recognised in profit or
loss on a diminishing value basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of plant and
equipment, since this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic
benefits embodied in the asset.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
Office equipment 3 -10 years
Field equipment 5 years
Computer equipment 3 years
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year-end and
adjusted if appropriate.
e)
Current and non-current classification
Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-
current classification.
An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or
consumed in the entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is
expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent
unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the
reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the entity's normal operating
cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the
reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12
months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Earnings Per Share
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic earnings
per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss after income tax attributable to ordinary shareholders
of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss after income tax attributable to
ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding
during the period, adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise share
options granted to employees.
g)
Revenue
Interest
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method.
Other revenue
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.
h) Employee Benefits
Wages and salaries
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave expected to be settled
wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in employee provisions in respect of
employees’ services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when
the liabilities are settled.
Superannuation
The amount charged to the profit and loss in respect of superannuation represents the contributions paid
or payable by the Group to the employee’s superannuation funds.
Employee Benefits on-costs
Employee benefit on-costs, including payroll tax, are recognised when paid or payable by the Group.
Share-based payments
Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees.
Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees
in exchange for the rendering of services. Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash for the exchange
of services, where the amount of cash is determined by reference to the share price.

SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is
independently determined using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into
account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date
and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest
rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do not determine whether the
Group receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any
other vesting conditions.
The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in
equity over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant
date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the
expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the
cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods.
The cost of cash-settled transactions is initially, and at each reporting date until vested, determined by
applying either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into consideration the terms
and conditions on which the award was granted. The cumulative charge to profit or loss until settlement
of the liability is calculated as follows:
•
during the vesting period, the liability at each reporting date is the fair value of the award at that
date multiplied by the expired portion of the vesting period.
•
from the end of the vesting period until settlement of the award, the liability is the full fair value of
the liability at the reporting date.
All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss. The ultimate cost of cash-settled transactions is
the cash paid to settle the liability.
Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore, any awards subject
to market conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been
met, provided all other conditions are satisfied.
If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has
not been made. An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any
modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of
modification.

SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the Group or employee, the failure to satisfy the
condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the Group or employee
and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the
remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited.
If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any
remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled
award, the cancelled and new award is treated as if they were a modification.
i)
Segment Reporting
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may
earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that related to transactions with any
of the Group’s other components. A geographical segment is engaged in providing products or services
within a particular economic environment and is subject to risks and returns that are different from those
of segments operating in other economic environments. The Board (Chief Operating Decision Makers
“CODM”) is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their
performance.
j)
Principles of Consolidation
Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when
the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the
ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries 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 entities in the Group
are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the
impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where
necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in
ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the
difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling
interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent.
Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of
profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of changes
in equity of the Group. Losses incurred by the Group are attributed to the non-controlling interest in full,
even if that results in a deficit balance.

k)
Fair value measurement
When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure
purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes
that the transaction will take place either: in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market,
in the most advantageous market.
Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset
or liability, assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value
measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the
circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the
use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that
reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed at
each reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest
level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal
expertise is either not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are
selected based on market knowledge and reputation. Where there is a significant change in fair value of
an asset or liability from one period to another, an analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of
the major inputs applied in the latest valuation and a comparison, where applicable, with external sources
of data.
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually
evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and
expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on
other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable
under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the
related actual results. The judgements estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a
material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within
the next financial year are discussed below.

Share-based payment transactions
The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value
of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using
either the Binomial or Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the
instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-
based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next
annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.
l)
Investment in Associate
Associates are entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control or joint control,
generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in
Associates in the consolidated financial statements are accounted for using the equity method of
accounting. On initial recognition investments in associates are recognised at cost. Under this method,
the Group’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of Associates are recognised in profit or loss,
and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in other comprehensive income.
The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment.
When the Group’s share of losses in an Associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including
any unsecured long-term receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred
obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
2.
CRITICIAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
Exploration and evaluation costs
Exploration and evaluation costs have been capitalised and are only carried forward to the extent that
they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in
the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of
economically recoverable reserves. Key judgements are applied in considering the costs to be capitalised
which includes determining expenditures directly related to these activities and allocating overheads
between those that are expensed and capitalised.

Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on the winding up of the
Group in proportion to the number of and amounts paid on the shares held. The fully paid ordinary shares
have no par value and the Company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital. On a show of
hands, every member present at a meeting in person or by proxy shall have one vote and upon a poll each
share shall have one vote.
Capital risk management
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern,
so that it may continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. The
Group’s capital includes ordinary share capital and financial liabilities, supported by financial assets.
Due to the nature of the Group’s activities, being mineral exploration, it does not have ready access to
credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. Accordingly, the objective of the
Group’s capital risk management is to balance the current working capital position against the
requirements of the Group to meet exploration programmes and corporate overheads. This is achieved
by maintaining appropriate liquidity to meet anticipated operating requirements, with a view to initiating
appropriate capital raisings as required. The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital
requirements.

•
Exploration and evaluation assets, which includes assets that are associated with the
determination and assessment of the existence of commercial economic reserves.

had no development assets. The Board considers that it has only operated in one segment, being mineral
exploration. The Group is domiciled in Australia. Other income from external customers are only
generated from Australia. No income was derived from a single external customer.

23. PARENT ENTITY DISCLOSURES (CONTINUED)
The Parent Entity has no capital commitments and has not entered into a deed of cross guarantee nor are
there any contingent liabilities.
24. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group has exposure to the following risks from their use of financial instruments:
•
credit risk;
•
liquidity risk; and
•
market risk.
This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, their objectives,
policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital.
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk
management framework. Management monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the
operations of the Group through regular reviews of the risks.
Credit risk
The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at reporting
date to recognised financial assets, is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those
assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements.
The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient
collateral where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Group’s
exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value
of transactions is spread amongst approved counterparties.
Credit risk related to balances with banks and other financial institutions is managed by the board. The
board’s policy requires that surplus funds are only invested with counterparties with a Standard & Poor’s
rating of at least AA-. All of the Group’s surplus funds are invested with AA- Rated financial institutions.
The Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or Group of receivables
under financial instruments entered into by the Group.
The credit risk for counterparties included in cash and cash equivalents as at 30 June 2025 is detailed
below:

Liquidity risk
The responsibility with liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors. The Group manages
liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and ensuring that adequate working capital is maintained.
The Group’s policy is to ensure that it has sufficient cash reserves to carry out its planned exploration
activities over the next 12 months.
The Group’s financial instrument liabilities of $265,445 are expected to be paid within one year.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and
equity prices will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments.
Interest rate risk
The Group does not have any exposure to interest rate risk as there were no external borrowings at 30
June 2025 (2024: nil). Interest bearing assets are all short-term liquid assets and the only interest rate risk
is the effect on interest income by movements in the interest rate. There is no other material interest rate
risk.
Fair values
The net fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities approximate their carrying value. The
methods for estimating fair value are outlined in the relevant notes to the financial statements.
25. EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO BALANCE DATE
There were no matters or circumstances that have arisen since 30 June 2025 to the date of this report
that have significantly affected, or may significantly affect the Group’s operations, the results of those

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Members of Accelerate Resources Limited
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Accelerate Resources Limited (“the Company”) and its controlled
entities (“the Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2025,
the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of
changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes to the financial
statements, including material accounting policy information, the consolidated entity disclosure statement
and the directors’ declaration.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act
2001, including:
(a)
giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2025 and of its financial
performance for the year then ended; and
(b)
complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those
standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section
of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements
of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical
Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence
Standards) (“the Code”) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled
our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our
audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit
of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate
opinion on these matters.
75
We we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our
report.
Key Audit Matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Carrying Value of Deferred Exploration and
Evaluation Expenditure
Refer to Note 6
In accordance with AASB 6 Exploration for and
Evaluation of Mineral Resources, the Group
capitalises acquisition costs of rights to explore as
well as subsequent exploration and evaluation
expenditure and applies the cost model after
recognition.
Our audit focussed on the Group’s assessment of
the carrying amount of the deferred exploration
and evaluation expenditure, because this is a
significant asset of the Group.
We planned our work to address the audit risk that
the capitalised expenditure might no longer meet the
recognition criteria of the standard.
Our procedures included but were not limited to the
following:
-
We obtained an understanding of the key
processes associated with management’s
review of the carrying values of deferred
exploration and evaluation expenditure;
-
We considered the Directors’ assessment of
potential indicators of impairment;
-
We obtained evidence that the Group has
current rights to tenure of its areas of
interest;
-
We enquired with management as to the
nature of planned ongoing activities;
-
We substantiated a sample of expenditure
items incurred;
-
We enquired with management, reviewed
ASX announcements and reviewed minutes
of Directors’ meetings to ensure that the
Group had not resolved to discontinue
exploration and evaluation at any of its areas
of interest; and
-
We examined the disclosures made in the
financial report.
Disposal in Investment in Vytas Resources
Limited
Refer to Note 5
Our audit focussed on the accounting policy in
relation to the carrying amount of the investment
in Vytas Resources Limited and its subsequent
disposal in the current period
We planned our work to address the audit risk
that the accounting policy was inaccurate and
the gain on disposal was fairly stated.
Our procedures included but were not limited to the
following:
-
We obtained original contracts for the receipt
of the shares;
-
We obtained the contracts relating to the
disposal of the investment;
-
We considered the Group’s influence in
relating to significant influence;
-
We considered the gain of disposal to
ensure that it was fairly stated; and
-
We examined the disclosures made in the
financial report.
76
Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information
included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2025, but does not include the financial
report and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express
any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in
doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report, or our
knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other
information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of:
(a) the financial report (other than the consolidated entity disclosure statement) that gives a true and fair
view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001; and
(b) the consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct in accordance with the Corporations
Act 2001, and
for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of:
(a) the financial report (other than the consolidated entity disclosure statement) that gives a true and fair
view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and
(b) the consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct and is free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going
concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations,
or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted
in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
77
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate,
they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this
financial report.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement
and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
−
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or
error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
−
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
−
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
−
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and,
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we
conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to
the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our
opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report.
However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
−
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures,
and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that
achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the
audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify
during our audit.
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats
or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.
We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about
the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be
communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected
to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
REPORT ON THE REMUNERATION REPORT
Opinion on the Remuneration Report
