With the acquisition of the Saints and Leinster Projects in late August 2019, the Company narrowed its focus to nickel exploration in the Norseman-Wiluna Greenstone Belt, arguably the best address globally for nickel sulphide mineralisation and home to numerous tier-1 nickel projects. The acquisition of the Saints and Leinster Projects was perfectly timed, as nickel enjoyed a remarkable resurgence, buoyed by a combination of supply pressures, local high- profile acquisitions and discoveries, Tier-1 production re- starts and global stainless-steel and lithium-ion battery demand. The Company has a clear strategy for its nickel projects, aggressively explore and drill as many of its developing pipeline of high-quality nickel targets to materially increase the existing high-grade massive sulphide resource of 1.05Mt at 2.0% nickel for 21,400 tonnes of contained nickel. To support the exploration activity, the Company boosted its geological team, taking on Geologist Robin Cox to co-ordinate drilling activity for both projects and adding Peter Muccilli (ex-MD/CEO and Chief Geologist of Mincor) in a consulting role. The addition of Non-Executive Chairman Edward Mason provided a significant boost to the corporate team, Mr Mason worked for more than five years as a technical project manager for Fluor Corp on the development of nickel and copper assets near Auroch’s existing operations. The Company’s new strategy bore immediate results with an updated geological model for the Saints project and significant Air-Core (AC) drilling programmes generating a stream of new basal channel targets (T1-T6), which have the highest probability of hosting thick zones of high-grade massive nickel sulphides and are extremely important for Kambalda-style komatiitic nickel sulphide deposits. During the period, the Company completed three drilling programs across the Saints Project, comprising 1,960m (60-holes) of AC drilling, 594m (4-holes) of Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling and 2,991m (11-holes) of Diamond Drilling (DD), as well as numerous Down-hole electromagnetic (DHEM) survey’s on completed drill-holes. The drilling demonstrated that Auroch had high-grade nickel on its tenements, with results from DD drilling including 1.77m at 6.72% Ni from 227.31m down-hole, including 0.50m at 9.98% Ni. Encouraged by these early results, the Company has launched further aggressive and targeted drilling campaigns which are currently being completed. The Company is also advancing its Leinster Nickel Project, which has advanced exploration targets to build on the existing high-grade nickel sulphide resource. During the period, the Company announced it had commenced a 4,000m AC drilling programme, designed to cover the entire strike of the ultramafic unit at Valdez in order to define possible basal channels in the footwall contact, in a similar manner to the work completed at Saints earlier this year. With Australia’s nickel export earnings forecast to strengthen on the back of growing export volumes and recovering prices, reaching $6.8 billion in 2021–22, up from an estimated $4.3 billion in 2019–20, exposure to high-grade nickel exploration provides leverage to the expected commodity super-cycle. The Company has a clear strategy for 2020-21, aggressively explore its channel targets across both the Saints and Leinster Projects while growing our nickel-bearing landholding across Western Australian. The Board and Management thank shareholders for your support throughout the 2020 financial year and hope that our progress during the forthcoming year will continue to add value to your investment in Auroch Minerals. 4 AUROCH MINERALS ANNUAL REPORT 2020 COMPANY PROJECTS – WESTERN AUSTRALIA Saints Nickel Project TENURE & LOCATION The Saints Nickel Project is located approximately 65km northwest of Kalgoorlie and 7km east of the Goldfields Highway (Figure 1). The tenement package comprises two mining leases covering an area of approximately 20km2 of prospective Archaean greenstone belt geology within the Eastern Goldfields province of the Yilgarn Craton. The Saints Nickel Project sits in the same sequence of rocks that host the historical Scotia nickel mine, 15km to the south. Scotia produced 30,800 tonnes of contained nickel at 2.2% nickel to 360m deep until closing in July 1977. GEOLOGY The Saints Nickel Project’s tenements encompass a portion of the Archaean Norseman-Wiluna Greenstone Belt of the Kalgoorlie Terrane – Boorara Domain within the Eastern Yilgarn Craton of Western Australia. The tenements are located on the western limb of the Scotia-Kanowna Anticline within the Bardoc Tectonic Zone which occurs along the western margin of the Scotia-Kanowna Batholith. The stratigraphy is upright and dips steeply to the west, consisting of mafic, ultramafic and metasedimentary/ metavolcaniclastic/felsic volcanic units. SAINTS MINERAL RESOURCES Mining consultant RPM Global developed a maiden JORC 2012 Mineral Resources estimate for the Saints Nickel Project of 1.05Mt @ 2.0% Ni, 0.2% Cu and 0.06% Co for 21,400 tonnes of contained nickel, 1,600 tonnes of contained copper and 600 tonnes of contained cobalt (Table 1). Minotaur reported the resource estimate to the ASX on the 4th May 2017. The Saints Nickel Project is regarded as an Archaean Kambalda-style, komatiite-hosted, massive nickel sulphide deposit. The deposit occurs within the Menzies-Bardoc tectonic zone in ultramafic units, equivalent to the Highway Ultramafic. Saints contains three main zones of nickel sulphide mineralisation: St Andrews, St Patricks and the Western Contact. Figure 1 – Location of the Leinster and the Saints Nickel Projects. ANNUAL REPORT 2019 AUROCH MINERALS 5 The main sulphide species recognised in all three prospects are pyrrhotite, pentlandite, chalcopyrite and pyrite, with violarite in the transitional weathered zone. Ore grade nickel mineralisation occurs as massive or matrix sulphides in the main ore zones with disseminated or cloud sulphides occurring in the hanging wall position proximal to mineralisation. Mineralisation widths range from 1-2m up to 6m (true width). Drilling at the deposit extends to a vertical depth of approximately 530m, with mineralisation modelled from surface to a depth of approximately 480m below surface. The estimate was based on good quality air core (AC), reverse circulation (RC) and diamond core (DD) drilling data. Drill-hole spacing is predominantly 40m by 30m in the well-drilled portions of the deposit and broadens to approximately 100m by 80m over the remaining areas. Mineralisation was constrained by mineralisation envelopes prepared using a nominal 0.5% Ni cut-off grade for disseminated sulphide and a 1.0% Ni cut-off grade for matrix and massive sulphide mineralisation. A minimum down-hole length of 1m was adopted for interpretation. Notably, at least 97.5% of the resource is fresh primary sulphide mineralisation, to 480m below surface. There appears to be significant geological upside potential evident that would result in the defined resource being enlarged through near-resource exploration and testing of postulated extensions of known stratigraphic sequences, such as the Western Contact “depth fold”, which have never been drill-tested. MAIDEN DIAMOND DRILLING PROGRAMME In early September 2019, the Company announced it was kicking off extensional drilling at Saints, with an 11- hole (circa 3,000m) DD drilling programme testing down- plunge extensions to the known high-grade nickel sulphide mineralisation at the St Patricks, St Andrews and Western Contact target areas1. Auroch’s maiden drilling made an encouraging start, intersecting 1.60m of nickeliferous semi-massive to massive sulphide mineralisation in drill-hole SNDD005 with disseminated to massive sulphide mineralisation intersected in all five drill-holes2. Assay results for drill-hole SNDD005 confirmed extremely (Figure 2) high-grade nickel sulphide mineralisation including 1.77m at 6.72% Nickel and 0.27% copper and 0.13% cobalt from 227.31m down-hole, including 0.50m at 9.98% Nickel, 0.24% copper and 0.20% cobalt3. Better results from the drilling included: • SNDD006: 2.22m at 4.84% Ni, 0.34% Cu and 0.15% Co from 110.68m down-hole, including 0.90m at 6.01% Ni, 0.31% Cu and 0.16% Co • SNDD005: 1.77m at 6.72% Ni, 0.27% Cu and 0.13% Co from 227.31m down-hole, including 0.50m at 9.98% Ni, 0.24% Cu and 0.20% Co • SNDD002: 3.31m at 1.05% Ni, 0.06% Cu and 0.03% Co from 219.90m down-hole, including 1.70m at 1.48% Ni, 0.10% Cu and 0.05% Co • High-grade blebby nickel sulphide mineralisation intersected by SNDD007 outside of the existing resources: • SNDD007: 6.87m at 0.77% Ni and 0.02% Cu from 145.00m down-hole, including 1.87m at 1.47% Ni and 0.03% Cu The results add approximately 30m to the strike of known nickel sulphide mineralisation at Saint Patricks and remains open to the north4.

The Company undertook a 3,000m AC drilling programme, designed to confirm and define the position of these three possible channels and the thickness of the nickeliferous basal ultramafic lava flow above each channel. Assays from the AC drilling confirmed four new channels in the all-important basal contacts, the Eastern Footwall Contact and the Southern Footwall Contact. The drilling identified four new channels (T1-T4), in addition to the known channels at St Patricks and St Andrews, importantly, these new targets had effectively never been drilled5. T1-T2 RC DRILLING PROGRAMMES In mid-April 2020, the Company announced a 500m RC drilling programme to test the advanced T2 target 6 and in early-May the Company announced a second RC programme would commence at the advanced T1 target. A DHEM survey of RC drill-holes completed at T2 identified a conductance of 15,000 –30,000+S, which is considered a typical signature of well-developed sulphides 7. At T-1, the completed RC drill-hole (SNRC003) successfully defined a highly-prospective nickeliferous ultramafic package which included the following intersections: 12m at 0.67% Ni from 22m, including 1m at 1.34% Nifrom 24m and 3m at 0.54% Ni from 72m, incl 1m at 0.77% Ni from 72m (Figure 6) 8. 5 ASX Announcement – AC RESULTS PROVIDE DRILL-READY NICKEL TARGETS AT SAINTS https://www.investi.com.au/api/announcements/aou/fd9760ed-5d1.pdf 6 ASX Announcement - DRILLING TO COMMENCE AT SAINTS NICKEL PROJECT https://www.investi.com.au/api/announcements/aou/306761fc-c6a.pdf 7 ASX Announcement – DHEM DELINEATES STRONG NICKEL SULPHIDE TARGET AT SAINTS https://www.investi.com.au/api/announcements/aou/3c5134bb-6ac.pdf 8 ASX Announcement - RESULTS CONFIRM STRONG POTENTIAL OF CHANNEL TARGETS AT SAINTS https://www.investi.com.au/api/announcements/aou/5ea64834-2ff.pdf Figure 2 – Diamond Drilling results overlain geological interpretation for Saints Figure 3 - Schematic representation of a komatiitic lava flow and resulting massive nickel sulphide mineralisation (adapted from Hill 2001) AUROCH MINERALS 7 ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Figure 5 - Locations of the four new channel target areas (T1 –T4) in relation to the basal footwall contacts at the Saints Nickel Project Figure 6 - 3D Cross-section at 6671960mN ±60m through the T1channel target area showing the location of the recent (SNRC003) and historical drill-hole results in relation to the modelled basal Eastern Footwall Contact (yellow).

The project area is situated between the Goldfields Highway and the Leonora-Agnew Road and is close to the Eastern Goldfields Gas Pipeline. The project area covers approximately 112km2 of prospective Archaean greenstone belt geology within the eastern goldfields of the Yilgarn Craton. Leinster’s nickel sulphide deposit resides in a world-class mining domain proximal to established mining and processing infrastructure. GEOLOGY The project area straddles the Weebo – Mt. Clifford greenstone belt and the Agnew-Wiluna greenstone belt, within the Kalgoorlie Terrane to west and the Kurnalpi Terrane to the East, which are Archaean granite-greenstone terranes that make up part of the Eastern Goldfields province of the Yilgarn Craton. LEINSTER MINERAL RESOURCES In 2008, Breakaway Resources Ltd calculated a JORC 2004 -compliant Inferred Mineral Resources estimate for the Horn deposit. No further material work had been undertaken at the Horn since 2008. Additional exploration work will be undertaken in the coming year to make the resource JORC 2012 compliant (AC) DRILLING AT VALDEZ PROSPECT In late June 2020, the Company announced it would commence a 4,000m AC drilling programme at the Valdez Prospect 9 . The drilling programme will cover the entire strike of the ultramafic unit at Valdez in order to characterise the ultramafics and define possible basal channels in the footwall contact, in a similar manner to the work completed at Saints earlier this year (Figure 7). The AC programme will also attempt to confirm mineralised intersections reported in historic RAB drill-holes, such as 32m at 0.75% Ni from surface, including 4m at 1.55% Ni from 24m (LWDR2036), and 16m at 1.07% Ni from 24m, including 4m at 1.34% Ni from 24m.

ARDEN PROJECT TENURE & LOCATION Located some 3.5 hours’ drive north from Adelaide, the Arden Project boasts a large relatively-unexplored area of 1,664km² considered highly-prospective for sedimentary- exhalative (SEDEX) mineralisation, as well as high-grade zinc silicate mineralisation. Results from initial exploration at the Ragless Range, Kanyaka and Radford Creek prospects suggest the project has good potential for hosting large- scale zinc and/or copper mineralisation. GEOLOGY The project is located in the Adelaide Geosyncline region of South Australia, which is host to numerous large base- metal deposits including the Beltana zinc deposit, the Angas zinc deposit and the Kanmantoo copper deposit. A railway to local ports passes just to the south of the tenement with access to Port Pirie. Strong infrastructure is available with good telecommunications and grid power. The Torrens East Copper Project comprises one Exploration Licence (EL 6331) and one Exploration Application (ELA 00159) covering a combined area of 1,622km2 and is considered highly-prospective for IOCG (Iron Oxide – Copper – Gold) mineralisation. The large tenements are situated adjacent to the Torrens JV (70% Aeris Resources Ltd; 30% Argonaut Resources NL) and cover a portion of the same large gravity anomaly. The ELAs are also approximately 50km from BHP’s 2018 drilling in the Olympic Dam copper-gold province, host to the world- class Olympic Dam (BHP Group Ltd) and Carrapateena (Oz Minerals Ltd) IOCG deposits. REGIONAL GEOLOGY AND IOCG MINERALISATION The Torrens East Copper Project lies within the Olympic Dam copper-gold province of the Eastern Gawler Craton of central South Australia. More specifically, the project is located within the Torrens IOCG Hinge Zone, which is defined by the distribution of known early-Mesoproterozoic mineralisation and alteration, with the structural framework playing an important role in the formation of large IOCG systems. The project area is overlain by between 700m and 1,200m of consolidated sedimentary rocks of Mesoproterozoic age and younger, which post-date the IOCG mineralisation. No significant work was announced from the Arden Project during Financial Year 2020. No significant work was announced from the Bonaventura Project during Financial Year 2020. BONAVENTURA PROJECT TENURE & LOCATION The Bonaventura Project comprises two large exploration licences (415km²) in the northern part of Kangaroo Island and covers highly prospective geology and historic mines along 55km of strike of the regional scale Cygnet-Snelling Fault. Thus far the Company has identified and undertaken exploration on four high-priority base and precious-metal prospects at Bonaventura: Dewrang, Vinco, Grainger and Kohinoor. No significant work was announced from the Bonaventura Project during Financial Year 2020. 10 AUROCH MINERALS DIRECTORS’ REPORTANNUAL REPORT 2020 INTEREST IN MINING TENEMENTS Australia Tenement Arden Arden North Bonaventura Bonaventura Extension Torrens East Copper Project Torrens East Copper Project Saints Saints Leinster Valdez AUROCH MINERALS LIMITED DIRECTORS REPORT Tenement ID Status Interest at beginning of the year EL 5821 EL 6217 EL 5973 EL 6252 Granted Granted Granted Granted ELA 00159 Pending EL 6331 M29/245 M29/246 E36/899 E36/936 Granted Granted Granted Granted Granted 90% 100% 100% 100% - 100% - - - - Interest acquired or disposed - - - - - - 100% 100% 100% 100% Interest at end of the year 90% 100% 100% 100% - 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% Competent Persons Statement The information in this report that relates to Exploration Results is based on information compiled by Mr Aidan Platel and represents an accurate representation of the available data.

Key performance areas of the Group include cash flow, share price, exploration results and development of cash-generating business activities. The Board of Directors (the Board) of Auroch believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best management and directors to run and manage the Group, as well as create goal congruence between directors, executives and shareholders. Voting and comments made at the company’s 2019 Annual General Meeting At the 2019 Annual General Meeting the Company remuneration report was passed by the requisite majority of shareholders (100% by a show of hands). Remuneration Governance The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for Board members and senior executives of the Group is as follows: The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior executives, was developed and approved by the Board. All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience), superannuation, fringe benefits and the ability to receive options and performance-based incentives. The remuneration committee, composed of the full Board, reviews executive packages annually by reference to the Group’s performance, executive performance, and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries. Executives are also entitled to participate in the employee share and option arrangements. The employees of the Group receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which is currently 9.5%, and do not receive any other retirement benefits. All remuneration paid to Directors and executives is valued at the cost to the Group and expensed. Options (if applicable) given to Directors and Key Management Personnel are valued using an appropriate option pricing methodology. The Board policy is to remunerate non-executive Directors at the lower end of market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment, and responsibilities. The remuneration committee 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. 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 Group. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive Directors was approved by shareholders at a General Meeting held on 11 February 2011. The maximum amount of fees payable to non-executive directors is $250,000 per annum. The Board expects that the remuneration structure implemented will result in the company being able to attract and retain the best executives to run the Company. It will also provide executives with the necessary incentives to work to grow long-term shareholder value. The payment of bonuses, options and other incentive payments are reviewed by the Board as part of the review of executive remuneration. All bonuses, options and incentives must be linked to predetermined performance criteria. The Board can exercise its discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options. Any changes must be justified by reference to measurable performance criteria. During the Period no performance-based incentives, options or bonuses were granted to any director or executive. As such, no pre-determined performance criteria have been outlined for the existing Board. 16 AUROCH MINERALS 15 ANNUAL REPORT 2020 AUROCH MINERALS LIMITED DIRECTORS REPORT During the year, the company did not seek the advice of remuneration consultants.

The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the consolidated entity: AASB 16: Leases The Group has adopted AASB 16: Leases retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying AASB 16 recognised at 1 July 2019. In accordance with AASB 16 the comparatives for the 2019 reporting period have not been restated. Based on the assessment by the Group, it was determined there was no impact on the Group. As such, the Group has not recognised a lease liability and right-of-use asset for all leases (with the exception of short-term and low-value leases) recognised as operating leases under AASB 117: Leases where the Group is the lessee. There has been no significant change from prior year treatment for leases where the Group is a lessor. Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, where applicable. The Group's incremental borrowing rate as at 1 July 2019 was used to discount the lease payments. The right-of-use assets, where applicable for the remaining leases have been measured and recognised in the statement of financial position as at 1 July 2019 by taking into consideration the lease liability and the prepaid and accrued lease payments previously recognised as at 1 July 2019 (that are related to the lease). 29 28 AUROCH MINERALS ANNUAL REPORT 2020 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AUROCH MINERALS LIMITED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 The following practical expedients have been used by the Group in applying AASB 16 for the first time: • • for a portfolio of leases that have reasonably similar characteristics, a single discount rate has been applied. leases that have remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at 1 July 2019 have been accounted for in the same was as short-term leases. • the use of hindsight to determine lease terms on contracts that have options to extend or terminate. • applying AASB 16 to leases previously identified as leases under AASB 117: Leases and Interpretation 4: Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease without reassessing whether they are, or contain, a lease at the date of initial application. not applying AASB 16 to leases previously not identified as containing a lease under AASB 117 and Interpretation 4 (c) Principles of Consolidation Subsidiaries The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Auroch Minerals Limited as at 30 June 2020 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Auroch Minerals Limited 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 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 Group companies 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. Joint arrangements Under AASB 11 Joint Arrangements investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures. The classification depends on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor, rather than the legal structure of the joint arrangement. Joint operations The group recognises its direct right to the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of joint operations and its share of any jointly held or incurred assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Joint ventures Interests in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method, after initially being recognised at cost in the consolidated statement of financial position. (d) Impairment of Assets The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset’s values in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash generating unit to which it belongs. 30 AUROCH MINERALS 29 ANNUAL REPORT 2020 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AUROCH MINERALS LIMITED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash- generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset unless the asset is carried at re-valued amount (in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease). As assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had the impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at the re-valued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life. (e) Share Based Payment Transactions Under AASB 2 Share Based Payments, the Group must recognise the fair value of shares and options granted to directors, employees and consultants as remuneration as an expense on a pro-rata basis over the vesting period in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income with a corresponding adjustment to equity. Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest. The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. No revision to original estimates is made in respect of options issued with market based conditions. The Group provides benefits to employees (including directors) of the Group in the form of share based payment transactions, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (“equity-settled transactions”). The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees (including directors) is measured by reference to fair value at the date they are granted. The fair value is determined using an appropriate option pricing model. In relation to the valuation of the share-based payments, these are valued using an appropriate option valuation method. Once a valuation is obtained management use an assessment as to the probability of meeting non-market based conditions. Market conditions are vested over the period in which management assess it will take for these conditions to be satisfied. (f) Segment Reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner that is consistent with the internal reporting to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), which has been identified by the Group as the Managing Director and other members of the Board of directors. (g) Fair value estimation The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. 31 30 AUROCH MINERALS ANNUAL REPORT 2020 AUROCH MINERALS LIMITED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximately their fair value due to their short-term nature. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments. (h) Income Tax and Other Taxes The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the Group’s subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provision where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. Adjustments to current income tax are made to take into account any change in tax rates between the Company and its subsidiaries. Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in foreign operations where the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Auroch Minerals Limited and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation. As a consequence, these entities are taxed as a single entity and the deferred tax assets and liabilities of these entities are set off in the financial statements. Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. 32 AUROCH MINERALS 31 ANNUAL REPORT 2020 AUROCH MINERALS LIMITED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 (i) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure The Group’s policy with respect to exploration and evaluation expenditure is to use the area of interest method. Under this method exploration and evaluation expenditure is carried forward on the following basis: i. ii. Each area of interest is considered separately when deciding whether, and to what extent, to carry forward or write off exploration and evaluation costs; and Exploration and evaluation expenditure related to an area of interest is carried forward provided that rights to tenure of the area of interest are current and that one of the following conditions is met: – such evaluation costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest or alternatively, by its sale; or – exploration and/or evaluation activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves and active and significant operations in relation to the area are continuing. Exploration and evaluation costs accumulated in respect of each particular area of interest include only net direct expenditure. (j) Cash and Cash Equivalents For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, cash in bank accounts, money market investments readily convertible to cash within two working days, and bank bills but net of outstanding bank overdrafts. (k) Investments and other financial assets Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part of the initial measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Such assets are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on both the business model within which such assets are held and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset unless, an accounting mismatch is being avoided. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or have been transferred and the consolidated entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. When there is no reasonable expectation of recovering part or all of a financial asset, it's carrying value is written off. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets not measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Typically, such financial assets will be either: (i) held for trading, where they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the short-term with an intention of making a profit, or a derivative; or (ii) designated as such upon initial recognition where permitted. Fair value movements are recognised in profit or loss. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income include equity investments which the consolidated entity intends to hold for the foreseeable future and has irrevocably elected to classify them as such upon initial recognition. 33 32 AUROCH MINERALS NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSANNUAL REPORT 2020 AUROCH MINERALS LIMITED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 Impairment of financial assets The consolidated entity recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets which are either measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. The measurement of the loss allowance depends upon the consolidated entity's assessment at the end of each reporting period as to whether the financial instrument's credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, based on reasonable and supportable information that is available, without undue cost or effort to obtain. Where there has not been a significant increase in exposure to credit risk since initial recognition, a 12-month expected credit loss allowance is estimated. This represents a portion of the asset's lifetime expected credit losses that is attributable to a default event that is possible within the next 12 months. Where a financial asset has become credit impaired or where it is determined that credit risk has increased significantly, the loss allowance is based on the asset's lifetime expected credit losses. The amount of expected credit loss recognised is measured on the basis of the probability weighted present value of anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of the instrument discounted at the original effective interest rate. For financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance is recognised within other comprehensive income. In all other cases, the loss allowance is recognised in profit or loss. (l) Earnings Per Share (i) Basic Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing the operating loss attributable to the equity holder of the Company after income tax by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year. (ii) Diluted Earnings Per Share Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in determination of basic earnings per share by taking into account amounts unpaid on ordinary shares and any reduction in earnings per share that will arise from the exercise of options outstanding during the year. (m) Revenue recognition Revenue is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances and duties and taxes paid. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: Interest income is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest method. (n) Trade and Other Receivables Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days. The consolidated entity has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days overdue. (o) Trade and Other Payables Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days. 34 AUROCH MINERALS 33 ANNUAL REPORT 2020 AUROCH MINERALS LIMITED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 (p) Borrowings Cost Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use of sale. All other borrowing costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. (q) Goods and Service Tax (GST) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except: • Where the GST incurred on the purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and • Receivable and payable are stated with the amount of GST included. The amount of GST recoverable from the taxation authority is included as part of the receivables in the Statement of financial position. The amount of GST payable to the taxation authority is included as part of the payables in the Statement of financial position. Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority, are classified as operating cash flows. (r) Contributed Equity Issued and paid up capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Group. Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds received. (s) Foreign currency translation Functional and presentation currency Items included in the financial statements of the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates (‘the functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Group’s functional and presentation currency. Group companies The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: • assets and liabilities for each Statement of Financial Position presented are translated at the closing rate at the • date of that Statement of Financial Position. income and expenses for each Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions), and • all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, a proportionate share of such exchange difference is reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale where applicable. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate. 35 34 AUROCH MINERALS NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSANNUAL REPORT 2020 AUROCH MINERALS LIMITED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities at the reporting date are translated at the exchange rate existing at reporting date. Exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. No dividends were paid or proposed during the year. (t) Parent entity information The financial information for the parent entity, disclosed in Note 26 has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements, except as set out below. (i) Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture entities Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the financial statements. Dividends received from associates are recognised in the parent entity’s profit or loss when its right to receive the dividend is established. (u) Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted At the date of authorisation of the financial report, a number of Standards and Interpretations including those Standards and Interpretations issued by the IASB/IFRIC, where an Australian equivalent has not been made by the AASB, were in issue but not yet effective for which the Entity has considered it unlikely for there to be a material impact on the financial statements. (v) Lease The Group as lessee At inception of a contract, the Group assesses if the contract contains or is a lease. If there is a lease present, a right-of- use asset and a corresponding lease liability are recognised by the Group where the Group is a lessee. However, all contracts that are classified as short-term leases (ie a lease with a remaining lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low-value assets are recognised as a operating expenses on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Initially the lease liability is measured at the present value of the lease payments still to be paid at the commencement date. The lease payments are discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are as follows: - - fixed lease payments less any lease incentives; variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date; the amount expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees; the exercise price of purchase options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options; - - - lease payments under extension options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options; and - payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the exercise of an option to terminate the lease. The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date and any initial direct costs. The subsequent measurement of the right-of-use assets is at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the lease term or useful life of the underlying asset, whichever is the shortest. 36 AUROCH MINERALS 35 ANNUAL REPORT 2020 AUROCH MINERALS LIMITED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 Where a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group anticipates to exercise a purchase option, the specific asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. Where a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group anticipates exercising a purchase option, the specific asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. The Group as lessor Upon entering into each contract as a lessor, the Group assesses if the lease is a finance or operating lease. A contract is classified as a finance lease when the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases not within this definition are classified as operating leases. Rental income received from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the specific lease. Initial direct costs incurred in entering into an operating lease (for example, legal cost, costs to set up equipment) are included in the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Rental income due under finance leases are recognised as receivables at the amount of the Group’s net investment in the leases. When a contract is determined to include lease and non-lease components, the Group applies AASB 15 to allocate the consideration under the contract to each component. 2. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS In preparing these Financial Statements the Group has been required to make certain estimates and assumptions concerning future occurrences. There is an inherent risk that the resulting accounting estimates will not equate exactly with actual events and results. (a) Significant accounting judgements In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements. Capitalisation of exploration and evaluation expenditure The Group has capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure on the basis either that this is expected to be recouped through future successful development (or alternatively sale) of the Areas of Interest concerned or on the basis that it is not yet possible to assess whether it will be recouped. Refer to note 10 for further details. Receivables Collectability of trade and other receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. An allowance account (provision for impairment of trade receivables) is used when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. The amount of the allowance is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Cash flows relating to short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial. The amount of the allowance is recognised as impairment in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. 37 36 AUROCH MINERALS NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSANNUAL REPORT 2020 AUROCH MINERALS LIMITED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 2. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (continued) (b) Significant accounting estimates and assumptions The carrying amount of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are: Impairment of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent on a number of factors, including whether the Group decides to exploit the related lease itself or, if not, whether it successfully recovers the related exploration and evaluation asset through sale. Factors that could impact the future recoverability include the level of reserves and resources, future technological changes, costs of drilling and production, production rates, future legal changes (including changes to environmental restoration obligations) and changes to commodity prices. 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 using the Black Scholes model. Should the assumptions used in these calculations differ, the amounts recognised could significantly change. Details of estimates used can be found in Note 20. Asset Acquisition When an asset acquisition does not constitute a business combination, the assets and liabilities are assigned a carrying amount based on their relative fair values in an asset purchase transaction and no deferred tax will arise 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 and transaction costs of the acquisition will be included in the capitalised cost of the asset. Assets acquired during the period were exploration expenditure. Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may have, on the company based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and regions in which the entity operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the consolidated entity unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. 38 AUROCH MINERALS 37 ANNUAL REPORT 2020 AUROCH MINERALS LIMITED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 3.

(d) Capital risk management The Group’s objective when managing working capital is to safeguard the ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for the shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. 42 AUROCH MINERALS 41 ANNUAL REPORT 2020 AUROCH MINERALS LIMITED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 12. CONTRIBUTED EQUITY (continued) In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the return of capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. The Group defines capital as cash and cash equivalents plus equity. The Board of Directors monitors capital on an ad-hoc basis. No formal targets are in place for return on capital, or gearing ratios, as the Group has not derived any income from their mineral exploration and currently has no debt facilities in place. 13.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT Overview The Group has exposure to the following risks from their use of financial instruments: a) credit risk b) liquidity risk c) market risk 2020 $ (542,802) - - 496 230,356 - (611) (5,511) 37,145 (280,927) 2020 $ 36,859 15,120 51,979 2019 $ (1,435,549) 14,342 (73,153) 439 383,367 93,152 (31,196) 10,253 (27,934) (1,066,280) 2019 $ 35,344 17,240 52,584 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. (a) Credit risk Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and for the Group arises principally from cash and cash equivalents and receivables. All cash balances are held with recognised institutions limiting the exposure to credit risk. There are no formal credit approval processes in place. Exposure to credit risk The carrying amount of the Group’s financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was: 44 AUROCH MINERALS 43 ANNUAL REPORT 2020 AUROCH MINERALS LIMITED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 17.

Financial assets that are neither past due and not impaired are as follows: Cash and cash equivalents AA S&P rating 2020 $ 3,445,147 3,445,147 2019 $ 1,733,184 1,733,184 (b) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows. The Group anticipates a need to raise additional capital in the next 12 months to meet forecasted operational activities. The decision on how the Group will raise future capital will depend on market conditions existing at that time. Typically, the Group ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses for a period of 60 days, including the servicing of financial obligations; this excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters. The Group has no access to credit standby facilities or arrangements for further funding or borrowings in place. The financial liabilities the Group had at reporting date were trade payables incurred in the normal course of the business. These were non-interest bearing and were due within the normal 30-60 days terms of creditor payments. Maturities of financial liabilities The table below analyses the Group’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. 45 44 AUROCH MINERALS NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSANNUAL REPORT 2020 AUROCH MINERALS LIMITED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 17.

The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return. (i) Currency risk Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency. The Group did not have any formal policies in place regarding currency risk during the year as it was not considered significant. This will be monitored as appropriate going forward and introduced as necessary. The groups exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period, expressed in Australian dollar, was Nil. 46 AUROCH MINERALS 45 ANNUAL REPORT 2020 AUROCH MINERALS LIMITED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 17. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) Sensitivity analysis Cash and cash equivalents 2020 Foreign exchange risk + 1% - 1% 2019 Foreign exchange risk -1% + 1% - - - - - - - - (ii) Cashflow and interest rate risk The Group’s only interest rate risk arises from cash and cash equivalents held. Term deposits and current accounts held with variable interest rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. The Group does not consider this risk to be material and has therefore not undertaken any further analysis of risk exposure for 2020. (d) Fair values The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. The Fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example investments in unlisted subsidiaries) is determined using valuation techniques. The carrying value less impairment of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The carrying amounts are estimated to approximate fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities as follows: Financial Assets Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Total Financial Assets Financial Liabilities Trade and other payables Total Financial Liabilities 2020 $ 2019 $ 3,445,147 41,237 3,477,174 1,733,184 35,728 1,768,912 215,273 215,273 126,490 126,490 The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments are outlined below: Cash/financial liabilities and loans The carrying amount is fair value due to the liquid nature of these assets. Receivables/payables Due to the short-term nature of these financial rights and obligations, their carrying amounts are estimated to represent their fair values. The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. 47 46 AUROCH MINERALS NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSANNUAL REPORT 2020 AUROCH MINERALS LIMITED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 17. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) Due to their short-term nature, the carrying amount of the current receivables and current payables is assumed to approximate their fair value. Refer to note 18 for further details. 18. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The carrying values of financial assets and liabilities of the Group approximate their fair values. Fair values of financial assets and liabilities have been determined for measurement and / or disclosure purposes. Fair value hierarchy The Group classifies assets and liabilities carried at fair value using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in determining that value. The following table analyses financial instruments carried at fair value by the valuation method. The different levels in the hierarchy have been defined as follows: Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Due to their short-term nature, the carrying values of all of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities is assumed to be their fair value. That is, there are no financial assets or financial liabilities measured using the fair value hierarchy. 19. SEGMENT INFORMATION Identification of reportable operating segments The Group is organised into one operating segment, being exploration in Australia. This is based on the internal reports that are being reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (who are identified as the Chief Operating Decision Makers (CODM) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. As a result, the operating segment information is as disclosed in the statements and notes to the financial statements throughout the report. Geographical information All non-current assets are based in Australia. 20.

In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Group, is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: (i) Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2020 and of its financial performance for the year ended on that date; and (ii) 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 have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

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. 54 AUROCH MINERALS ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Carrying value of Exploration and Evaluation Asset Key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit The carrying value of the capitalised exploration and Our procedures included, but were not limited to: evaluation asset as at 30 June 2020 is disclosed in Note 10 of the financial report. As the carrying value of the Exploration and Evaluation Asset represents a significant asset of the Group, we considered it necessary to assess whether any facts or circumstances exist to suggest that the carrying amount of this asset may exceed its recoverable amount. Judgement is applied in determining the treatment of exploration expenditure in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources. In particular: · Whether the conditions for capitalisation are satisfied; · Which elements of exploration and evaluation expenditures qualify for recognition; and · Whether facts and circumstances indicate that the exploration and expenditure assets should be tested for impairment. As a result, this is considered a key audit matter. • • • • • • Obtaining a schedule of the areas of interest held by the Group and assessing whether the rights to tenure of those areas of interest remained current at balance date; Considering the status of the ongoing exploration programmes in the respective areas of interest by holding discussions with management, and reviewing the Group’s exploration budgets, ASX announcements and director’s minutes; Considering whether any such areas of interest had reached a stage where a reasonable assessment of economically recoverable reserves existed; Verifying, on a sample basis, exploration and evaluation expenditure capitalised during the year for compliance with the recognition and measurement criteria of AASB 6; Considering whether there are any other facts or circumstances existing to suggest impairment testing was required; and Assessing the adequacy of the related disclosures in Note 10 to the financial report.
