CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
3
Dear Shareholder,
In last year’s Chairman’s Report, I noted that despite our expectations at the time, drilling approvals
for the Ravensthorpe Lithium Project had not yet been approved. Sadly, the drilling approvals were
rejected due to DEMIRS not issuing the Company a Native Vegetation Clearing Permit (“NVCP”)
despite Bulletin having provided all requested information including independent expert
environmental advice. The advice was supported by detailed on-ground surveys clearly providing
strong evidence that the proposed works are low impact in nature and would not cause a significant
impact to biodiversity, fauna habitats, remnant native vegetation or conservation areas. Bulletin also
proposed putting in place robust avoidance, mitigation and rehabilitation measures.
Bulletin does not agree with the reasoning for the DEMIRS decision to not grant the NVCP and has
appealed the decision with the Western Australian Office of the Appeals Convener. Once the Appeals
Convener completes their investigation they will provide a report to the relevant Minister, whose
decision is final and not subject to further appeal. The Company is working through the appeals
process.
The Company continues to hold its Lake Rebecca Gold Project, which remains in the early stages of
exploration and is assessing the next steps in the exploration process. Bulletin is considering its next
steps given the corporate focus in the area in recent times.
Given the Company’s strong financial position holding $11.7M in cash and liquid assets at 30 June
2024, a number of other opportunities are being evaluated to enhance the Company’s project
portfolio moving forward.
I would like to thank the entire Bulletin team for their input during the year. I am optimistic about the
Company’s future and that a positive outcome can be achieved in respect of the Ravensthorpe
Lithium Project in due course. I look forward to keeping shareholders informed on the Company’s
progress throughout the next twelve months and beyond.
Yours Sincerely
Paul Poli
Non-Executive Chairman

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Ravensthorpe Lithium Project
Bulletin’s 130km2 Ravensthorpe Lithium Project hosts high-grade spodumene and lepidolite bearing
pegmatites and is located only 12km southwest and along strike of Arcadium Lithium’s (ASX:LKE) Mt
Cattlin lithium mine.
Drilling Approvals
The project hosts outcropping spodumene bearing pegmatites and initial drilling of these pegmatites
is proposed to determine their potential economic importance. Approvals to conduct drilling are in
process (Figure 1).
As part of the regulatory process, Bulletin requires a Native Vegetation Clearing Permit (NVCP) to clear
vegetation and allow access for tracks and drill pads. Bulletin’s NVCP was referred by a third party to
the Western Australian Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) in 2023. The EPA subsequently
considered the significance of the proposal’s effect on the environment and whether or not to assess
the proposal and, if the decision was to assess, the level of assessment. In October 2023, the EPA
informed Bulletin of its decision not to assess the proposal. The EPA advised Bulletin’s small scale and
short-term exploration program impacts on flora, vegetation and fauna can be adequately considered
by the Department of Energy, Mining and Industry Regulation (DEMIRS) via a Clearing Permit, in line
with typical approval processes. When the EPA decides not to assess a proposal, it determines that
the likely effect on the environment is not so significant as to warrant its further investigation and
assessment.
Bulletin consequently resumed the Clearing Permit process with DEMIRS, implementing several new
avoidance and mitigation strategies to mitigate any potential impact on the environment. Bulletin also
provided DEMIRS with independent environmental advice supported by on-ground surveys indicating
the works are low impact and either not at variance or unlikely to be at variance to the EP Act clearing
principles, upon which the NVCP is determined. However, DEMIRS subsequently refused to grant the
NVCP to enable drilling to progress at Ravensthorpe.
Bulletin notes its assessments of likely low environmental impact were supported by the decision of
the EPA not to assess the drilling proposal and refutes DEMIRS contention that the clearing would
likely cause significant impact to biodiversity, fauna habitats, remnant native vegetation, or
conservation areas.
Bulletin does not agree with the DEMIRS decision and subsequently, lodged an appeal against the
decision to the Western Australian Office of the Appeals Convenor, on the basis that DEMIRS had erred
in their decision and did not appropriately assess or consider Bulletin’s expert and independent
environmental reports. Further, Bulletin believes that DEMIRS did not take into account the detailed
and comprehensive avoidance and mitigation measures designed by Bulletin.
The Appeals Convenor on completing the investigation will provide a report and recommendation to
the Minister for the Minister’s final determination. Bulletin looks forward to a successful appeal
outcome and remains committed to ensuring all its activities are conducted with appropriate
environmental and social governance practices and a view to the Company’s longer term potential.

Lake Rebecca Gold Project
The Lake Rebecca Gold Project comprises eight granted and two pending Exploration Licences over a
600km2 area. It is located approximately 150km east north-east of Kalgoorlie, WA. The project is
located in the southern portion of the Laverton Tectonic Zone, a regional scale shear/fault system that
is one of the more productive gold trends in the WA Goldfields, which hosts the Sunrise Dam, Wallaby,
Red October and Granny Smith gold camps. The tenements are adjacent to, and along strike of
Ramelius Resources Limited (ASX:RMS, Ramelius) 1.4 million ounce Rebecca gold project (Figure 2).
Progressive testing and advancement of over 100 km2 of geological and geophysical targets generated
by Bulletin continued during the year.
Soil sampling results over a faulted offset of the contact between two granitic intrusions associated
with a NNE striking Proterozoic dyke set, as well as large scale and gently folded monzogranitic shear
zones show low to moderate gold in soil anomalism with values up to 12.3ppb Au.
The sampled area is also subject to exploration for groundwater sources by Ramelius Resources
Limited (ASX:RMS, Ramelius) to support RMS’s potential processing operations. Work is being
undertaken by RMS with Bulletin’s consent. As part of water exploration works, RMS collected samples
from their aircore (AC) drilling with results provided to Bulletin. Two AC holes recorded gold
anomalism associated with basal paleochannel sands near the contact of granodiorite and granite on
the eastern boundary of the project area. The two holes reported:

Hole WBAC002 terminated in basement rocks comprising granodiorite associated with epidote,
indicating the host rock has been subject to alteration, while WBAC0010 failed to reach basement and
finished in paleochannel sands. Both anomalous gold intersections are near the NNW trending contact
of two granitic intrusions, along strike and north of the soil sampling (refer Figure 3). Further sampling
is planned to follow up the potential of this area.

A broad 1km2 gold in soil anomaly over interpreted mafic and ultramafics units along a granite contact
defined by earlier work continues to be refined. Infill soil sampling of 200m x 100m spacing using
CSIRO’s ultrafine soil analysis technique supported earlier wider spaced sampling results. Ultrafine soil
sampling was designed to overcome the lack of gold anomalism in transported soils using traditional
techniques where thick transported sediments overlie basement lithologies of the Yilgarn.
The gold anomaly is moderately elevated and in the order of 3 times background gold levels with a
maximum result of 14ppb Au. The coherent and extensive nature of the anomaly lends itself to further
investigation and sampling to better define the anomalous area prior to drilling (Figure 4).

Mt Farmer Project
The Mt Farmer Project is located in the Dalgaranga area, 80km NW of Mt Magnet in an area historically
known for gold and tantalum. The Project surrounds Aldoro Resources Ltd’s (“Aldoro”, ASX:ARN,)
Niobe Rubidium-Lithium Project hosting a resource of 4.6Mt @ 0.17% Rb2O and 0.07% Li2O. It is also
adjacent to Krakatoa Resources Ltd’s (“Krakatoa”, ASX:KTA) King Tamba Rubidium resource of 5Mt @
0.14%Rb2O and 0.05% Li2O as well as their more recent discovery of lithium bearing rock chips up to
4.3% Li2O, 1.7% Rb2O and 0.5% Cs2O at their Wilsons prospect (Figure 5) (refer ARN ASX announcement

project also has potential northeast extensions to the Dalgaranga gold mine owned by Spartan
Resources Limited (ASX:SPR).
During the year, two tenements totalling 44km2 in area were granted by DMIRS. A third tenement,
surrounding Aldoro’s Niobe deposit is pending grant (Figure 5).
A reconnaissance trip on the granted tenements validated regional geology with outcrop comprising
porphyritic monzogranite tors with rare, thin and weakly zoned pegmatite hosted within intrusive
dolerite (greenstone). Evaluation of remote sensing data to delineate greenstones within the granite
is planned prior to further detailed mapping and sampling.

Cue Gold Project
Bulletin’s Cue Gold Project is 25km2 in area and is located approximately 33km west of Cue (Figure 6).
Two exploration licenses in the project have now been granted by DEMIRS with one application
pending. The project is along strike of Westgold Resources Limited’s (ASX:WGX) Big Bell mine which
contains gold resources of 20.8Mt at 3.04g/t for 2.0Moz and gold reserves of 9.5Mt at 3.16 g/t for
960koz (refer ASX WGX announcement dated 28 November 2023).
An initial, wide spaced 400m x 100m soil sampling campaign was completed over granted tenure to
determine potential prospectivity for gold and lithium. Soils within the interpreted and observed

greenstone lithologies returned a best result of 20ppb Au with supporting 5 to 7 ppb Au assays over a
400m strike in the SW corner of the tenement. Infill soil sampling of this area is planned.
Several small pegmatite outcrops were noted in mapping and rock chip chemistry indicates the
pegmatites are LCT type. The highest grade rock chip result of 0.37 %Li2O is associated with a
pegmatite within granite adjacent to the greenstone belt. While small and appearing largely
unevolved, the K/Rb ratios of the pegmatites range from 13 to 60 with a best microcline K/Rb ratio of
23, suggesting some degree of fractionation is present in the pegmatite system. No spodumene or
other potentially economic minerals were observed.
Peak lithium in soil results overly the area of pegmatite outcrops associated with the greenstone belt.
Soil sampling assays ranged to a maximum of 60 ppm Li2O with higher lithium results associated with
elevated Gallium, Beryllium and Rubidium and K/Rb ratios ranging between 50 and 60.

Mt Clere Rare Earth Project
The Mt Clere Rare Earth Project (E52/4136) comprises a 180km2 area along the Ti Tree Shear Zone in
the Gascoyne Region. The project is a conceptual target relying on its structural setting. The tenement
lies along the south-westerly dipping Ti Tree Shear Zone which is a mantle tapping (deep) lineament.
This is a particularly important feature as these deep mantle tapping faults can provide a pathway for
intrusives such as carbonatites or mineralising fluids. Examples of rare earth mineralisation stemming
from these deep faults are Hastings Mineral Technology Metals Limited’s (ASX:HAS) Yangibana
Project, Dreadnought Resources Limited’s (ASX:DRE) Yin carbonatites off the Lyons River Fault and
Kingfisher Mining Limited’s (ASX:KFM) Mick Well Project which lies off the Chalba shear zone.
Spodumene bearing pegmatites are also noted to the northwest along the Ti Tree shear zone at Delta
Lithium Limited’s (ASX:DLI) Malinda lithium project (Figure 7).
Earlier soil sampling results of up to 466 ppm TREO with up to 34% MREO content including 23% NdPr
oxides* and stream sediment results up to 391 ppm TREO with 26% MREO content including 21% NdPr
oxides* remain to be followed up with further mapping and sampling.
* TREO = Total Rare Earth Oxides, MREO = Magnetic Rare Earth Oxides, NdPr Oxides = Neodymium +
Praseodymium Oxides (Neodymium and Praseodymium are higher value magnetic rare earth oxides)

Powder Sill
The Powder Sill Gold Project (tenement E16/534) is located 30km northwest of Kalgoorlie and 15km
from Evolution Resources’ (ASX:EVN) Mungari Mill. The tenement lies between the Kunanalling and
Zuleika shear zones and overlies the Powder Sill complex, an intrusive unit that hosts Evolution’s White
Foil and Cutters Ridge mines to the south (Figure 8).

The main exploration target is the Powder Sill complex, a layered mafic intrusion. The brittle nature
of the Sill provides for dilation zones to form and provide a trap for gold fluids. The Sill has been folded
into a southeast plunging syncline and hosts the 1.8Moz Au While Foil deposit on the eastern limb of
the syncline and the 139Koz Au Cutters Ridge deposit on the western limb of the syncline.
Regional Auger and RAB drilling has defined a number of large and broad 1 - 2km2 sized gold anomalies
for follow up. In particular, the anomalies considered most prospective are those at the base of Power
Sill where mechanical competency contrast between the Powder Sill and host Black Flag sediments
has the potential to form dilatant zones capable of focusing auriferous fluids.

Mt Jewel Project
The Mt Jewell project (E24/221) is located 60kms North of Kalgoorlie, 10km north and along strike
of the 130koz Au Tregurtha gold mine. The tenement covers a sequence of mafic-ultramafic
package of interpreted komatiitic origin. Soil sampling of the tenement during the year provided
no significant anomalism and the project was subsequently surrendered.

BULLETIN RESOURCES LIMITED
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024

Exploration
Mineral exploration activities are high-risk undertakings. The future exploration activities of the
Company may be affected by a range of factors, including geological conditions, seasonal weather
patterns, unanticipated operational and technical difficulties, industrial and environmental accidents
and other factors beyond the control of the Company. There can be no assurance that exploration will
result in the discovery of further mineral deposits. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified,
there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited.
Capital and liquidity
In order to successfully fulfill the Company’s exploration objectives and targets, the Company will
continue to incur expenditures over the next several years. As at balance sheet date, the Company
has cash reserves of $8,197,081 which places the Company in a well-funded position to continue
exploring within its existing tenements as well as potential new projects. The Company may require
additional capital or other types of financing in the future to further its exploration activities. While
previous capital raises have been well-supported, there can be no assurance of the availability of
future capital or favourable financing options if and when required.
Licenses, permits and approvals
The Company requires statutory operational and environmental licenses, permits and approvals to
conduct ongoing exploration activities at its projects. Delays in obtaining, or the inability to obtain the
required licenses, permits and approvals may significantly impact on the Company’s exploration
activities.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS AND PERFORMANCE
The Group’s exploration activities are subject to various environmental laws and regulations under
Australian Legislation. The Group has adequate systems in place for the management of its
environmental obligations. The directors are not aware of any breaches of the legislation during the
financial year which are material in nature.
The Directors have considered the recently enacted National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act
2007 (the NGER Act) which introduces a single national reporting framework for the reporting and
dissemination of information about greenhouse gas emissions, greenhouse gas projects, and energy
use and production of corporations. At the current stage of development, the directors have
determined that the NGER Act will have no effect on the Company for the current, nor subsequent,
financial year. The directors will reassess this position as and when the need arises.

The remuneration report details the remuneration arrangements for Key Management Personnel

and controlling the major activities of the Group, directly or indirectly, including any director (whether

B. REMUNERATION POLICY
Board Oversight of Remuneration
Remuneration Committee
In the opinion of the directors the Company is not of sufficient size to warrant the formation of a
remuneration committee. It is the board of directors’ responsibility for determining and reviewing
compensation arrangements for the directors and the senior executives.
BULLETIN RESOURCES LIMITED
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
21
REMUNERATION REPORT (continued)
The board assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration of Non-Executive
Directors and Executives on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions
with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high
performing Director and Executive team.
Remuneration Approval Process
The board approves the remuneration arrangements of the Executive Directors and Executives and all
awards made under the long-term incentive plan. The board also sets the aggregate remuneration of
Non-Executive Directors which is then subject to shareholder approval.
Remuneration Strategy
The Company’s remuneration strategy is designed to attract, motivate and retain employees and non-
executive directors by identifying and rewarding high performers and recognising the contribution of
each employee to the continued growth and success of the Group.
To this end, the Company embodies the following principles in its remuneration framework:
• retention and motivation of key executives;
• attraction of quality management to the Company; and
• performance incentives which allow executives to share the rewards of the success of the
Company.
Remuneration Structure
In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of Non-Executive Director and
Senior Management remuneration is separate and distinct.
Remuneration report at 2023 Financial Year AGM
The 2023 financial year remuneration report received positive shareholder support at the 2023 annual
general meeting with a vote via poll of 97% in favour.
Non-Executive Director Remuneration
Objective
The board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level which provides the Company with the ability
to attract and retain Directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to
shareholders.
Remuneration Policy
The Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of Non-Executive
Directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. An amount not exceeding the
amount determined is then divided between the Directors as agreed. The current aggregate
remuneration is $350,000 per year.
BULLETIN RESOURCES LIMITED
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
22
REMUNERATION REPORT (continued)
The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by shareholders and the manner in
which it is apportioned amongst Directors is reviewed annually. The board considers advice from
external consultants as well as the fees paid to Non-Executive Directors of comparable companies
when undertaking the annual review process. Each Director receives a fee for being a Director of the
Company. No external advice was received during the year.
Non-Executive Directors are encouraged by the board to hold shares in the Company (purchased by
the Director on market). It is considered good governance for Directors to have a stake in the
Company on whose board he or she sits.
Structure
The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors consists of Directors’ fees. Non-Executive Directors are
entitled to receive retirement benefits and to participate in any incentive programs. There are
currently no specific incentive programs.
The Chairman receives a base fee of $72,000 per annum. The Non-Executive Directors receive a base
fee of $60,000 per annum.
There are no additional fees for serving on any board committees. Non-Executive Directors can receive
additional fees for work conducted for the Company outside the scope of their normal duties subject
to being authorised by the board.
The remuneration report for the Non-Executive Directors for the year ended 30 June 2024 and 30 June
2023 is detailed in this report.
Executive Remuneration Structure
Remuneration Policy
The Company aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with
their position and responsibilities within the Company. The current remuneration policy adopted is
that no element of any executive package be directly related to the Company’s financial performance.
There are no elements of any executive remuneration that are dependent upon the satisfaction of any
specific condition. Remuneration is not linked to the performance of the Company but rather to the
ability to attract and retain executives of the highest calibre. The overall remuneration policy
framework however is structured in an endeavour to advance/create shareholder wealth.
Structure
In determining the level and make-up of executive remuneration, the board engages external
consultants as needed to provide independent advice.
Remuneration consists of the following key elements:
Fixed remuneration (base salary and superannuation); and
Variable remuneration (short and long term incentives).
The proportion of fixed remuneration and variable remuneration for each Executive for the year
ended 30 June 2024 and 30 June 2023 is detailed in this report.
BULLETIN RESOURCES LIMITED
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
23
REMUNERATION REPORT (continued)
Fixed Remuneration
Executive contracts of employment do not include any guaranteed base pay increase. Fixed
remuneration is reviewed annually by the board. The process consists of a review of the Company,
business unit and individual performance, relevant comparative remuneration internally and
externally and, where appropriate, external advice independent of management.
Executives are given the opportunity to receive their fixed (primary) remuneration in a variety of forms
including cash and fringe benefits such as motor vehicles. It is intended that the manner of payment
chosen will be optimal for the recipient without creating undue cost for the Company.
The fixed remuneration component for executives for the year ended 30 June 2024 and 30 June 2023
is detailed in this report.
Variable Remuneration – Short Term Incentive (STI)
The objective of the STI is to link the increase in shareholder value over the year with the remuneration
received by the Executives charged with achieving that increase. The total potential STI available is set
at a level so as to provide sufficient incentive to the Executives to achieve the performance goals and
such that the cost to the Group is reasonable in the circumstances.
Annual STI payments granted to each Executive depend on their performance over the preceding year
and are based on recommendations from the Chairman following collaboration with the board. The
board has no pre-determined performance criteria against which the amount of a STI is assessed and
there are no pre-determined maximum possible values of award under the STI scheme. In assessing
the value of an STI award to be granted the board will give consideration to the contribution of the
action being rewarded to the success of the Group.
Variable Remuneration – Long Term Incentive (LTI)
The objective of the LTI plan is to reward Executives in a manner which aligns the element of
remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth. As such LTI’s are made to Executives who are
able to influence the generation of shareholder wealth and thus have an impact on the Group’s
performance. The level of LTI granted is, in turn, dependent on the Company’s recent share price
performance, the seniority of the Executive and the responsibilities the Executive assumes in the
Group.
LTI grants to Executives are delivered in the form of employee share options. These options are issued
at an exercise price determined by the board at the time of issue. There were 7,000,000 options issued
to Directors for the year ended 30 June 2024 (2023: 12,250,000).
Typically, the grant of LTI’s occurs at the commencement of employment or in the event that the
individual receives a promotion and, as such, is not subsequently affected by the individual’s
performance over time. However, under certain circumstances, including breach of employment
conditions, the Directors may cause the options to expire prior to their vesting date.
The Group does have a policy to prohibit executives or directors from entering into arrangements to
protect the value of unvested LTI awards.

Other Benefits
Key management personnel can receive additional benefits as non-cash benefits as part of the terms
and conditions of their appointment. Non-cash benefits typically include car parking and expenses
where the Company pays fringe benefits tax on these benefits.
Company Performance and the Link to Remuneration
Remuneration is not linked to the performance of the Company, but based on the ability to attract
and retain Executives of the highest calibre. The overall remuneration policy framework however is
structured in an endeavour to advance/create shareholder wealth.

CORPORATE INFORMATION
The consolidated financial report of Bulletin Resources Limited for the year ended 30 June 2024 were
authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors on 30 September 2024.
Bulletin Resources Limited is a for-profit entity limited by shares incorporated and domiciled in
Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange.
The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are described in the Directors’
Report.
The consolidated financial report of the Company as at and for the year ended 30 June 2024 comprise
the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”).
The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the Group in the
preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless
otherwise stated.
2.
SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a)
Basis of Preparation
The financial report is a general purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with
the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards and other
authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board.
The financial report has been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial assets
measured at fair value through profit and loss.
The financial report is presented in Australian dollars.
(b)
Statement of Compliance
The consolidated financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards as issued by the
Australian Accounting Standards Board which include International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
(c)
Changes in Accounting Policies and Disclosures
Adoption of new accounting standards
In the current year, the Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations
issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to its operations
and effective for annual reporting periods beginning on 1 July 2023.
The Group has reviewed the new and revised Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted
for the year ended 30 June 2024. As a result of this review the Group has determined that there is no
significant impact of the Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted by the Group.
Accordingly, the accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year.

SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(d)
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the parent entity and its
subsidiaries (‘the Group’) as at 30 June each year.
Control is achieved where the company has exposure to variable returns from the entity and the
power to affect those returns. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently
exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether a consolidated entity controls
another entity.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent
company, using consistent accounting policies. In preparing consolidated financial statements, all
intercompany balances and transactions, income and expenses and profit and losses resulting from
intra-group transactions, have been eliminated in full.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is obtained by the Group and cease
to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group.
Where there is loss of control of a controlled entity, the consolidated financial statements include the
results for the part of the reporting period during which the Company has control.
Changes in ownership interest of a subsidiary (without a change in control) are accounted for as a
transaction with owners in their capacity as owners.
(e)
Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
Exploration and evaluation costs are expensed in the year they are incurred apart from:
(i)
acquisition costs which are carried forward where right of tenure of the area of interest is current
and they are expected to be recouped through sale or successful development and exploitation
of the area of interest or, where exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have
not reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically
recoverable reserves; and
(ii) joint venture expenditure on the Geko joint venture which is capitalised and designated as a
separate area of interest.
Where an area of interest is abandoned or the Directors decide that it is not commercial, any
accumulated acquisition costs in respect of that area are written off in the financial period the decision
is made. Each area of interest is also reviewed at the end of each accounting period and accumulated
costs are written off to the extent that they will not be recoverable in the future.
(f)
Financial Instruments
Trade and other receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days. They are presented as
current assets unless collection is not expected for more than 12 months after the reporting date.
Trade and other receivables are recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method,
less any allowance for expected credit losses. The deferred consideration has been recognised on this
basis.

SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(f)
Financial Instruments (continued)
The Group assesses at each balance date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or
group of financial assets is impaired. For trade and other receivables, the Group applies the simplified
approach permitted by AASB 9 to determine any allowances for expected credit losses, which requires
expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. The expected
credit losses on these financial assets are estimated using a provision matrix based on the Group’s
historical credit loss experience. The amounts held in trade and other receivables do not contain
impaired assets and are not past due. Based on the credit history of these trade and other receivables,
it is expected that the amounts will be received when due.
The Group’s financial risk management objectives and policies are set out in Note 20.
Due to the short-term nature of these receivables their carrying value is assumed to approximate their
fair value.
Financial assets are recognised and derecognised on settlement date where the purchase or sale of
an investment is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the investment within the time-
frame established by the market concerned. They are initially measured at fair value, net of
transaction costs, except for those financial assets classified as fair value through profit or loss, which
are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through
profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss.
The Group classifies its financial assets as either financial assets at fair value though profit or loss
(“FVTPL”), fair value though other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”) or at amortised cost. The
classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the
contractual terms of the cash flows.
For investments in equity instruments, the classification depends on whether the Group has made an
irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at FVTPL or
FVTOCI.
Financial assets at FVTPL
For assets measured at FVTPL, gains and losses will be recorded in profit or loss. The Group’s
derivative financial instruments are recognised at FVTPL. Assets in this category are subsequently
measured at fair value. The fair values of financial assets in this category are determined by reference
to active market transactions or using a valuation technique where no active market exists. Refer to
Note 20 for additional details. The Group has elected to measure its listed equities at FVTPL.
(g)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and short-term deposits in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank and in hand,
and short-term deposits.
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash
equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(h)
Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing the operating profit or loss after income tax by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus
elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted
for:
• costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends;
• the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares
that have been recognised as expenses; and
other non-discretionary changes in revenue or expenses during the period that would result from
the dilution of potential ordinary shares.
Divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares,
adjusted for any bonus element.
(i)
Income Tax
Current Tax
Current tax is calculated by reference to the amount of income taxes payable or recoverable in respect
of the taxable profit or tax loss for the period. It is calculated using tax rates and tax laws that have
been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. Current tax for current and prior periods is
recognised as a liability (or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable).
Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is accounted for using the comprehensive balance sheet liability method in respect of
temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities
in the financial statements and the corresponding tax base of those items.
In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax
assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable amounts will be available
against which deductible temporary differences or unused tax losses and tax offsets can be utilised.
However, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary differences giving rise
to them arise from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities (other than as a result of a business
combination) which affects neither taxable income nor accounting profit. Furthermore, a deferred tax
liability is not recognised in relation to taxable temporary differences arising from goodwill.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in
subsidiaries, branches, associates and joint ventures except where the entity is able to control the
reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse
in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences
associated with these investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable
that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary
differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(i)
Income Tax (continued)
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the
period(s) when the asset and liability giving rise to them are realised or settled, based on tax rates
(and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. The measurement
of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner
in which the Group expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets
and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same
taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Current and Deferred Tax for the Period
Current and deferred tax is recognised as an expense or income in the Consolidated Statement of
Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, except when it relates to items credited or debited
directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised directly in equity, or where it arises
from the initial accounting for a business combination, in which case it is taken into account in the
determination of goodwill or excess.
(j)
Share Based Payments
Equity settled transactions
The Group provides benefits to employees (including Directors and Executives) of the Group in the
form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights
over shares (equity-settled transactions).
The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured 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 the Black-Scholes option pricing model, further details of which are given in the remuneration
report.
In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than
conditions linked to the price of the shares of Bulletin Resources Limited.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity,
over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date
on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the vesting period).
The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting
date reflects:
(i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired; and
(ii) the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. No
adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of
these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. The Statement of Profit
or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income charge or credit for a period represents the movement
in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period.

SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(j)
Share Based Payments (continued)
No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is
only conditional upon a market condition.
If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the
terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any modification that increases
the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the
employee, as measured at the date of modification.
If an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and
any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is
substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is
granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award,
as described in the previous paragraph.
(k)
Segment Reporting
Operating Segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the
chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating
resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the board of
Directors of Bulletin Resources Limited.
(l)
Contributed Equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new
shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs
directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are deducted from equity.
(m)
Research and development incentive rebate
Any rebate received for eligible research and development (R&D) activities are offset against the area
where the costs were initially incurred. For R&D expenditure that has been capitalised, any claim
received will be offset against ‘deferred exploration and evaluation expenditure’ in the statement of
financial position. For R&D expenditure that has been expensed, any claim received will be recognised
in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
(n)
Significant Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
Recoverability of Exploration and Evaluation Assets
There is some subjectivity involved in the carry forward of capitalised exploration and evaluation
expenditure or, where appropriate, the write off to the statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income, however management give due consideration to areas of interest on a regular
basis and are confident that decisions to either write off or carry forward such expenditure fairly
reflect the prevailing situation.
The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and
assumptions of future events. The key estimate 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:

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 a Black & Scholes model, using the assumptions as discussed in note 14. The accounting
estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the next annual reporting period but may impact
expenses and equity.

In 2022, the Company acquired two new tenements from Mining Equities Pty Ltd, increasing its
tenement holding at the Ravensthorpe Lithium Project by more than double in area. The
consideration for the acquisition was the issue of 4 million fully paid ordinary shares for a 100%
interest in the two tenements (E74/680 and E74/698) comprised as follows:
•
500,000 shares as a non-refundable deposit (issued on 29 March 2022);
•
2,500,000 shares for E74/680 (issued on 27 June 2022); and
•
1,000,000 shares for E74/698 (issued on 19 January 2023).
The exploration asset acquired is in the exploration phase and this together with the unique
nature of the assets, means that the valuation of the asset cannot be readily estimated and as
such, the fair value of the asset acquired has been measured by reference to the value of the
equity instruments granted. As at 30 June 2023, 1,000,000 ordinary shares in the Company were
issued as consideration valued at $105,000, based on the share price at the date of completion
when the rights of ownership to the asset was transferred.
During the year, the DEMIRS refused to grant the Company the NVCP to enable drilling to progress at
Ravensthorpe. The Company has lodged an appeal against the decision. The Company believes that
all its activities are conducted with appropriate environmental and social governance practices. The
Company is expecting a successful outcome from its appeal process. Therefore, no impairment is
recognised against the carrying value of the Ravensthorpe Lithium Project.

(c) Capital risk management
The Group’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard their ability to continue as a going
concern and to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain
capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
The net assets of the Group are equivalent to capital. Net capital is obtained through capital raisings
on the Australian Securities Exchange.
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 its mineral exploration and
currently has no debt facilities in place. The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from
the 30 June 2023 Annual Report.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables, cash and short-term
deposits and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
Risk exposures and responses
The Group manages its exposure to key financial risks in accordance with the Group’s financial risk
management policy. The objective of the policy is to support the delivery of the Group’s financial
targets while protecting future financial security.
The main financial risks are interest rate risk, commodity risk, credit risk, equity price risk and liquidity
risk. The Group uses different methods to measure and manage different types of risks to which it is
exposed. These include monitoring levels of exposure to interest rate and assessments of market
forecasts for interest rate and commodity prices. Ageing analysis of and monitoring of receivables are
undertaken to manage credit risk, liquidity risk is monitored through the development of future rolling
cash flow forecasts.
The board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks as summarised below.
Primary responsibility for identification and control of financial risks rests with the board. The board
reviews and agrees policies for managing each of the risks identified below.
Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for
recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised,
in respect of each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed in note
2(f) to the financial statements.
The accounting classification of each category of financial instruments as defined in note (2(f)), and
their carrying amounts, are set out below:
a) Interest Rate Risk Exposures
The Group’s exposure to risks of changes in market interest rates relate primarily to the Group’s cash
balances. The Group constantly analyses its interest rate exposure. Within this analysis consideration
is given to potential renewals of existing positions, alternative financing positions and the mix of fixed
and variable interest rates. The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest rate risk
exposures in existence at the reporting date. The sensitivity analysis is for variable rate instruments.
The Group has performed a sensitivity analysis relating to its exposure to interest rate risk. At 30 June
2024 and 30 June 2023, the Group’s exposure to interest rate risk is not deemed material.

The weighted average interest rate received on cash and cash equivalents by the Group was 4.17%
(2023: 3.68%).
b) Credit risk
The Group does not have any significant concentrations of credit risk. Credit risk is managed by the
board and arises from cash and cash equivalents as well as credit exposure including outstanding
receivables and committed transactions. All cash balances held at banks are held at internationally
recognised institutions. The majority of receivables are immaterial to the Group. Given this, the credit
quality of financial assets that are neither past due or impaired can be assessed by reference to
historical information about expected credit loss rates.
Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks. The credit quality of
financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired can be assessed by reference to external credit
ratings. Financial assets that are neither past due and not impaired are as follows:

Trade and other receivables

(c) Liquidity Risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash balances and access to equity
funding. The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relate primarily to cash
assets and floating interest rates. The Directors monitor the cash-burn rate of the Group on and on-
going basis against budget and the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities to manage its
liquidity risk.
As at the reporting date the Group had sufficient cash reserves to meet its requirements. The Group
has no access to credit standby facilities.
The financial liabilities of the Group had at the reporting date were trade and other payables incurred
in the normal course of business as well.

Maturity analysis of financial assets and liabilities based on management’s expectation
The risk implied from the values shown in the table below, reflects a balanced view of cash inflows
and outflows. Trade payables and other financial liabilities mainly originate from the financing of
assets used in ongoing operations. To monitor existing financial assets and liabilities as well as to
enable effective controlling of future risks, management monitors its Group’s expected settlement of
financial assets and liabilities on an ongoing basis.

(d) Equity Price Risk
Other Equity price risk is the risk that the value of the instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes
in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether caused by
factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer or all factors affecting all instruments traded in
the market.
Investments are managed on an individual basis and material buy and sell decisions are approved by
the board of Directors. The primary goal of the Group’s investment strategy is to maximise investment
returns.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (continued)
(d) Equity Price Risk (continued)
The Company’s investments are solely in equity instruments. These instruments are classified as
financial investments and carried at fair value with fair value changes recognised directly in the
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
The following table details the breakdown of the investment assets held by the Group:

Sensitivity analysis
The Group’s equity investments are listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. A 10% increase in
stock prices at 30 June 2024 would have increased the profit by $272,227 (2023: increase the profit
by $243,115), an equal change in the opposite direction would have decreased the profit by an equal
but opposite amount.
(e) Fair value measurements
For all financial assets and liabilities recognised in the statement of financial position, carrying
amount approximates fair value unless otherwise stated in the applicable notes.
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).
All financial assets have been valued at Level 1 at the end of the financial year.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the members of Bulletin Resources Limited
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Bulletin Resources Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries
(the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2024, 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, and notes
to the financial report, 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:
(i)
Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2024 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 are independent of the Group in accordance with 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 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.
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.

AUDIT REPORT (CONTINUED)
Carrying Value of Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
Key audit matter
How the matter was addressed in our audit
As disclosed in Note 7, the carrying value of the
exploration and evaluation asset represents a
significant asset of the Group.
The Group’s accounting policies and significant
judgements applied to capitalised exploration and
evaluation expenditure are detailed in notes 2 and 7
of the financial report.
In accordance with AASB 6 Exploration for and
Evaluation of Mineral Resources (‘AASB 6’), the
recoverability of exploration and evaluation
expenditure requires significant judgement by
management in determining whether there are any
facts and circumstances that exist to suggest the
carrying amount of this asset may exceed its
recoverable amount. As a result, this is considered a
key audit matter.
Our procedures included, but were not limited to:
•
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
directors’ minutes;
•
Considering whether any such areas of
interest had reached a stage where a
reasonable assessment of economically
recoverable reserves existed;
•
Considering whether any facts or
circumstances existed to suggest impairment
testing was required; and
•
Assessing the adequacy of the related
disclosures in Notes 2 and 7 to the Financial
Report.

AUDIT REPORT (CONTINUED)
Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2024, but does not include the
financial report and the auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and 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 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:
i)
the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error; and
ii)
the consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct and is free of 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 has 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 the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. 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.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the
Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website (http://www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx) at:
