The DECA recapitalisation has provided the Company a fresh start for the development as a junior gold exploration and development company. Brightstar has achieved a number of acquisitions during the year: On 8 February 2021, the Company has acquired a prospective exploration licence in Western Australia, E38/3438 from Mining Equities Pty Ltd. This tenement is prospective brownfields ground less than 15km from our Brightstar plant and adjacent to a number of our existing prospecting and exploration licences. On 6 April 2021, the Company has acquired an exploration licence E38/3279 (Ophir Bore) which is located immediately adjacent to Brightstar’s existing exploration licences E38/3331 and E38/2411 and consolidates Brightstar’s exploration ground less than ten kilometres east of the Granny Smith Mine operated by Goldfields Limited. The Company has been busy finalising its Three-Year Strategic Plan: On 17 December 2020, the Company commenced a sub-audio magnetics (SAM) survey programme conducted by GAP Geophysics on the Company’s Cork Tree Well Project in the Laverton region of Western Australia. The SAM programme results released on 9 June 2021 has provided great insight into the continuation of the lithological and structural features that host the Cork Tree Well deposits to the south. The SAM survey results been utilised to assist the development of the Three-Year Strategic Plan. On 22 February 2021, the Company has appointed Ian Pegg who is the former Granny Smith Mining Company Exploration Superintendent as Brightstar’s exploration manager. Ian’s expertise on the geology of the Laverton region can support the Company in finalising our three-year strategy for Brightstar. On 5 May 2021, the Company has received a report prepared by Como Engineers Pty Ltd that confirms an estimated cost of $5.5 million to refurbish the Brightstar Processing Plant at the Company’s flagship Brightstar Gold Project, near Laverton in the northern Goldfields. On 15 September 2021, the Company has appointed Strike Drilling as the drill contractor for Mineral Resource development drilling at Brightstar’s Cork Tree Well Project in the Laverton district of Western Australia. Brightstar has also entered into a Royalty Call Option Deed with Stone Resources (HK) Limited (SRHK) on 27 September 2021. SRHK is the payee of a 3% net smelter royalty (NSR) over a substantial portion of Brightstar’s tenement holdings, which was granted as part of the consideration given to SRHK under the DECA. Under the Call Option Deed, SRHK has agreed to grant Brightstar an option to purchase the NSR (Call Option). I wish to thank Mr Hobba and Mr Hunt for the difficult task of successfully negotiating the Company’s Restructuring, our Employees at the Belmont Office and Laverton site for their excellent efforts. I believe we will seize the potential of our valuable mining assets to bring abundant rewards to our shareholders. To all our shareholders, I express my appreciation of your confidence, support and loyalty. Yours truly, Yongji Duan Chairman Perth, 1 October 2021. - 3 - Brightstar Resources Limited DIRECTORS’ REPORT Your directors submit the annual financial report of the consolidated entity consisting of Brightstar Resources Limited (“BTR” or “Company”) and the entities it controlled during the financial year ended 30 June 2021 (“Group”).

Brightstar Resources Limited Directors William Hobba (Managing Director) Yongji Duan (Non-Executive Chairman) Josh Hunt (Non-Executive Director) Number of options over ordinary shares Number of fully paid ordinary shares - - - 68,727,775 31,449,497 3,357,999 There were no options granted to key management personnel (directors and executives) during the year. There were no ordinary shares issued by the company during or since the end of the financial year as a result of the exercise of an option. There are no unpaid amounts on the shares issued. Dividends No dividends have been paid or declared since the start of the financial year and the directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend in respect of the financial year. Principal Activities The principal activities of the Group during the financial year were mineral exploration. There has been no significant change in the nature of these activities during the financial year. Results The consolidated profit after income tax attributable to the members of the Group was $60,551,860 (2020: $6,617,894 loss). Significant change in state of affairs During the year ended 30 June 2021, the Group completed the divestment of its Ben Hur project and a Debt and Equity Compromise Agreement with related entities. These changes allow the Group to focus on its core exploration activities, being the Cork Tree Well, Beta, Alpha and Hawkes Nest projects located nearby to Laverton in Western Australia. Review of operations Corporate On 16 November 2020, shareholders approved a change of name of the Company from Stone Resources Australia Limited to Brightstar Resources Limited. The Group completed divestment of its Ben Hur project in September 2020 and the execution of the Debit and Equity Compromise Agreement (“DECA”) in November 2020. Upon completion of the DECA, the debt totalling $57,252,627 that the Company owed to its previous major shareholder and major debt provider (Stone Resources Limited (“SRL”) and Stone Resources (HK) Limited (“SRHKL”) has extinguished (30 June 2020: $55,524,813). The net profit mentioned above is primarily caused by the debt cancellation. A selective buy-back of 433,452,944 shares previously held by SRL and SRHKL were cancelled at the same time. The total consideration for the buy-back was $11,400,000. At the end of the financial year the Group had $985,036 (2020: $50,032) in cash and cash equivalents.

Brightstar Resources Limited - 6 - DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) Review of operations (continued) Exploration Exploration activities carried out during the year included: • Consolidation work undertaken on all of the Resources in the Group to ensure robustness of the resource base. • Compilation of data for early-stage exploration commenced in a new database MX Deposit. • Surface geochemistry tested on several leases with varied results. Desktop Activities Disparate drilling data from historic drilling data systems including Access databases, Micromine databases, Excel spreadsheets, Micromine data files, and text files of many types were collected. These datasets were collated in the building of a new database structure that was completed in parallel to data clean-up/validation. Currently over 19,000 historic drillholes are contained in the database. Drill hole planning was completed to determine opportunities for extensional targets along the lengths of both Alpha and CTW deposits. These holes will provide an ideal opportunity to update the Resource, convert parts of the current Resource to Reserve and contribute significant information to mining studies early in 2022. Exploration Activities. v Cork Tree Well Reporting Group Sub-Audio Magnetic (SAM) survey undertaken in northern half of M38/346 at Cork Tree Well in December 2020 and the interpretation results were announced in June 2021. This interpretation provided several targets including up to three additional kilometres of strike extent of the interpreted host at CTW proper. 48 samples were collected from the top 10cm of the soil profile on E38/2452. Approximately 1kg of material was sieved to -2mm to remove coarse lag. Sample spacing was at 100m x 200m. Samples were analysed by Minanalytical Perth using an Aqua Regia digest and ICP-MS/ICP-OES finish for a 47 element Suite. ICP-MS and ICP-OES. The nearby Cork Tree Well open cut pit shows a well-developed, +10m, indurated profile (See Figure 1). This is common throughout the Laverton area but is not seen commonly further south. This profile is probably the reason for the poor response from soil sampling away from outcrop/sub crop in the Laverton region. Figure 1: Indurated near surface hardpan and pallid zone below. Figure 1: Indurated near surface hardpan and pallid zone below. - 7 - Brightstar Resources Limited DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) Review of operations (continued) v Laverton North Trial surface sampling on E38/2233 was completed on 6 December 2020. 14 soil samples and 4 rock chip samples were collected and analysed by MinAnalytical in Perth. Samples were analysed for a multi-element suite by Aqua Regia Digest with an ICP-MS finish (AR10MS) and an ICP-OES finish (AR10OES). The best gold value was from rock chip sample 2233-3 of 808 ppb. And the best soil Au value was 255 ppb from sample 2233-13. Correlations are indicated between Au and Fe, V, Zn, Ag, Mo and Sb. This suggests that there may be a significant effect from Fe scavenging of some elements. Interestingly, there is no correlation with As or Te which would be expected from an orogenic gold source. Ag, Zn, Mo and Sb are more suggestive of VHMS mineralisation. Au results seem to correlate with the indications from the historic sampling that Au mineralisation is associated with the intersection of NW fractures and a generally NNE trend in the mafic hosts. The high soil sample results provide strong encouragement that economic mineralisation may be concealed under cover in this area. Two intersections of fractures with black shales/shears have been highlighted as potential targets. v Brightstar Reporting Group (including Alpha and Beta Projects) A trial sampling program was undertaken to determine the applicability of soil sampling in this region (E38/2411). 12 soil samples were collected from 0-10cm depth along two lines at 50m x 100m spacing. The samples were sieved to < 2mm and sent to Minanalytical in Perth for analysis. Samples were analysed by AR10_MS - Multi-element by 10g Aqua Regia Digest with ICP-MS Finish or AR10_OES - Multi-element by 10g Aqua Regia Digest with ICP-OES Finish Gold values were very low, which may be an actual representation of Au in the soil or may indicate that depletion in the surface sample has not given a representative sampling of this area. Surficial (sieved) soil sampling does not appear to be effective in this area from the sampling undertaken to date. 11 rockchip samples were taken from outcrop or mullock on M38/549 where quartz veining was exposed. These samples were analysed for 45 elements to determine if any elements or group of elements could be used as pathfinders for the mineralisation. Results indicate that the mineralisation is likely to be extending both north and south of the main workings with the most northern sample returning 3.9g/t and the most southern sample returning 2.4g/t. Mineralisation appears to be constrained to quartz veining with little anomalism seen in the mafic host. Previous work collated and reviewed during the period however no physical activity undertaken. On E38/3108 bedrock geology is interpreted as either basalt or granitic gneiss depending on the dataset. If it is granitic gneiss there is little prospectivity on the tenement however, if there are mafic/granitic contacts then some prospectivity remains to be tested. Testing of sub-surface rock types to be planned for 2022. Previous surface geochemical sampling limited to sub-crop section of lease in the western part of the lease with low level anomalism. This may indicate ‘leakage’ of gold along a structure but does not appear to be the signal of a deposit. Previous surface geochemistry seems to have been effective in the northern part of P38/4444 and P38/4445 however the southern part of these leases are not well tested by surface geochemistry because of the cover thickness. A detailed review of the regolith and digitising of historic drill results is required to determine the next appropriate exploration step. Cover may have made previous surface geochemistry ineffective on P38/4446 and P38/4447. There is limited previous AC and RAB drilling, however no significant intersections on the actual leases. A detailed review of the historic data is required to determine an appropriate program for follow up. The area around P38/4432 & P38/4433 is mainly sub crop, so should be amenable to auger or AC work that the Company intends to investigate further. P38/4433 also has a string of workings on it called the Sailor Prince project which produced over 4000 ounces during the period 1897 to 1930. This is significantly bigger than most of the workings in the area and worthy of drill testing. DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) Review of operations (continued) v Laverton North Trial surface sampling on E38/2233 was completed on 6 December 2020. 14 soil samples and 4 rock chip samples were collected and analysed by MinAnalytical in Perth.

If it is granitic gneiss there is little prospectivity on the tenement however, if there are mafic/granitic contacts then some prospectivity remains to be tested. Testing of sub-surface rock types to be planned for 2022. Previous surface geochemical sampling limited to sub-crop section of lease in the western part of the lease with low level anomalism. This may indicate ‘leakage’ of gold along a structure but does not appear to be the signal of a deposit. Previous surface geochemistry seems to have been effective in the northern part of P38/4444 and P38/4445 however the southern part of these leases are not well tested by surface geochemistry because of the cover thickness. A detailed review of the regolith and digitising of historic drill results is required to determine the next appropriate exploration step. Cover may have made previous surface geochemistry ineffective on P38/4446 and P38/4447. There is limited previous AC and RAB drilling, however no significant intersections on the actual leases. A detailed review of the historic data is required to determine an appropriate program for follow up. The area around P38/4432 & P38/4433 is mainly sub crop, so should be amenable to auger or AC work that the Company intends to investigate further. P38/4433 also has a string of workings on it called the Sailor Prince project which produced over 4000 ounces during the period 1897 to 1930. This is significantly bigger than most of the workings in the area and worthy of drill testing.

Mr Maddocks is a Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (AusIMM) and has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity he has undertaken to qualify as a “Competent Person” as that term is defined in the 2012 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Resources (JORC Code 2012)”. Mr Maddocks consents to the inclusion in this report of the matters based in this information in the form and context in which it appears. Mr Maddocks was employed as a contractor of BTR. Significant events after balance date Drilling over the Company’s Cork Tree Well project commenced from in the 3rd week of September 2021. This is the first drilling campaign since BTR completed recapitalisation in November 2020. It is expected that the results may assist in developing a revised Mineral Resource Estimate for the project and used to plan future exploration drilling at Cork Tree Well and surrounding areas. On 27 September 2021, the Company signed a Call Option Deed with Stone Resources (HK) Limited (SRHKL), under which SRHKL agreed to grant BTR or its nominee an option to purchase the 3% net smelter royalty (NSR) which is applicable to a substantial portion of BTR’s tenements holdings. This Call Option Deed is expected to be settled seven days after BTR’s 2021 Annual General Meeting, however this may be as late as 31 March 2022 depending upon the nature of shareholder approval required. The exercise price of this Call Option is US$25 million, and the expiry is 5 calendar years since settlement date of this Call Option Deed. An Option Fee of $300,000 is payable to SRHKL on the settlement date. Both the exercise price, if exercised, and the Option Fee can be settled in cash and/or BTR shares at the discretion of the Board. SRHKL has no rights to compel or demand exercise of the Call Option. Purchase of part of the NSR is allowed by the Call Option. On 27 September 2021, the Company also executed two Settlement Deeds in relation to an outstanding liability owing to Great Cortex International Limited (“Great Cortex”) and amounts owed to its former Company Secretary Mr Tony Lau. Under the Settlement Deeds: i. ii. iii. The Company will repay the loan principal of $630,000 in cash to Great Cortex on or before 18 November 2023. All related expenses and amounts owing, including accrued interest payments, will be waived once Brightstar meets its obligations under the Settlement Deed. A settlement sum of $300,000 will be paid to Mr Tony Lau, in cash and/or shares at the Company’s discretion, on the earlier of seven days after BTR’s 2021 Annual General Meeting or 7 December 2021. Mr Duan will step down from the Chairman role and remain on the Board as a Non-Executive Director. The deferred remuneration payment of $63,218 will be paid to Mr Duan in cash and/or shares at Brightstar’s election on the same settlement date under Call Option Deed above. Brightstar Resources Limited DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) Significant events after balance date (continued) - 9 - iv.

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive director and executive remuneration - 9 - - 10 - Brightstar Resources Limited Brightstar Resources Limited DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) Remuneration report (audited) (continued) Non-executive director remuneration The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level that provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost that is acceptable to shareholders. The ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of non-executive directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. The Board considers the fees paid to non-executive directors of comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process. The board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for time, commitment and responsibilities. The board determines payments to the non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. In the current year, no advice was sought. Fees for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the Company. However, to align directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company and are able to participate in the option plan. Senior manager and executive director remuneration Remuneration is reviewed annually by the Board. The process consists of a review of relevant comparative remuneration in the market and internally and, where appropriate, external advice on policies and practices. The Board has access to external, independent advice where necessary. In the current year, no advice was obtained. Senior managers are given the opportunity to receive their remuneration in a variety of forms including cash, shares issued in lieu of salary, and fringe benefits such as motor vehicles and expense payment plans. It is intended that the manner of payment chosen will be optimal for the recipient without creating undue cost for the Company. Voting and comments made at the Company’s 2020 Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) The Group received more than 99% of yes votes on its remuneration report for the 2020 financial year. The Group did not receive any feedback at the AGM or throughout the year on its remuneration practices.

The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated. (a) Basis of preparation of the financial report This financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards, Interpretations and other applicable authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB). The financial report covers Brightstar Resources Limited (“the Company”) and its controlled entities as a group (together referred to as the “Group”). Brightstar Resources Limited is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Brightstar Resources Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial report. Compliance with IFRS The financial report also complies with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Historical cost convention The financial report has been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by revaluations to fair value for certain classes of assets and liabilities as described in the accounting policies. Fair value measurement For financial reporting purposes, ‘fair value’ is the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants (under current market conditions) at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. When estimating the fair value of an asset or liability, the entity uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs. Inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value are categorised into three levels according to the extent to which the inputs are observable: • Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. • Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. • Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. (b) Going Concern The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Group has recorded a net profit of $60,551,860 (2020: $6,617,894 loss) and cash inflows from operating and investing activities of $3,191,613 (2020: outflows of $1,306,152) for the reporting period. As at 30 June 2021, the Group had a cash balance of $985,035 (30 June 2020: $335,205), had net assets of $2,333,896 (30 June 2020: $914,833 net liabilities) and current exploration expenditure commitments of $703,670. The directors have prepared a cash flow forecast for the period ending 30 September 2022. It is recognised that additional funding is required either through the issue of further shares, or convertible notes, or the sale of assets, or a combination of these activities for the Group to continue to actively explore and develop its mineral properties, until recommencement of mining operations. The directors may also look to delay the timing of certain budgeted expenditures in accordance with their three year strategic plan. Subsequent to the financial year end, the Company has signed a Mandate for its first capital raising since completion of recapitalisation in November 2020. The Company also managed to renegotiate the terms of the Great Cortex loan (originally due 30 September 2021) and extended the repayment date by more than 24 months to November 2023. Refer to Note 24 for further information. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 June 2021 -23- NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 June 2021 -24- NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) The following are the significant accounting policies adopted by the group in the preparation and presentation of the (b) Going Concern (continued) financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated. Brightstar Resources Limited Brightstar Resources Limited The directors have reviewed the business outlook and the assets and liabilities of the Group and are of the opinion that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate. However, the Group acknowledge that the status of going concern relies on the development of the Company’s projects and subsequent capital raising to support the development. Should the Group be unable to raise further debt or capital, there exists a material uncertainty that the Group may in the future not be able to continue as a going concern. The financial report does not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts nor to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern. (c) New and revised accounting standards effective at 30 June 2021 The group has applied all new and revised Australian Accounting Standards that apply to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2020, including the following: AASB 2018-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Definition of a Business AASB 2018-6 amends AASB 3 Business Combinations to clarify the definition of a business, assisting entities to determine whether a transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or as an asset acquisition. The amendments: (a) clarify that to be considered a business, an acquired set of activities and assets must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs; (b) remove the assessment of whether market participants are capable of replacing any missing inputs or processes and continuing to produce outputs; (c) add guidance and illustrative examples to help entities assess whether a substantive process has been acquired; (d) narrow the definitions of a business and of outputs by focusing on goods and services provided to customers and by removing the reference to an ability to reduce costs; and • Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can (e) add an optional concentration test that permits a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business. • Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or The application of AASB 2018-6 has not materially impacted the financial statements of the Group. AASB 2018-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Definition of Material AASB 2018-7 principally amends AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements and AASB 108 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors. The amendments refine the definition of material in AASB 101. The amendments clarify the definition of material and its application by improving the wording and aligning the definition across AASB Standards and other publications. The amendment also includes some supporting requirements in AASB 101 in the definition to give it more prominence and clarifies the explanation accompanying the definition of material. The application of AASB 2018-7 has not materially impacted the financial statements of the Group. AASB 2019-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosure of the Effect of New IFRS Standards Not Yet Issued in Australia AASB 2019-5 makes amendments to AASB 1054 Australian Additional Disclosures by adding a disclosure requirement for an entity intending to comply with IFRS Standards to disclose the information required by paragraph 30 of AASB 108 (regarding disclosing the effect of new standards not yet issued) to IFRS Standards that have not yet been issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board. The application of AASB 2019-5 has not materially impacted the financial statements of the Group. (d) Accounting standards issued but not yet effective At the date of authorisation of the financial statements, the following Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations have recently been issued or amended but are not yet effective and have not been adopted by the Group for the year ended 30 June 2021: (a) Basis of preparation of the financial report This financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards, Interpretations and other applicable authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB).

As at 30 June 2021, the Group had a cash balance of $985,035 (30 June 2020: $335,205), had net assets of $2,333,896 (30 June 2020: $914,833 net liabilities) and current exploration expenditure commitments of $703,670.

The main amendments relate to: (a) AASB 1 – simplifies the application by a subsidiary that becomes a first-time adopter after its parent in relation to the measurement of cumulative translation differences; (b) AASB 3 – updates references to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting; (c) AASB 9 – clarifies the fees an entity includes when assessing whether the terms of a new or modified financial liability are substantially different from the terms of the original financial liability; (d) AASB 116 – requires an entity to recognise the sales proceeds from selling items produced while preparing PP&E for its intended use and the related cost in profit or loss, instead of deducting the amounts received from the cost of the asset; (e) AASB 137 – specifies the costs that an entity includes when assessing whether a contract will be loss making; and (f) AASB 141 – removes the requirement to exclude cash flows from taxation when measuring fair value, thereby aligning the fair value measurement requirements in AASB 141 with those in other Australian Accounting Standards. AASB 2020-3 mandatorily applies to annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2022 and will be first applied by the Group in the financial year commencing 1 July 2022. The likely impact of this accounting standard on the financial statements of the Group has not been determined. AASB 2020-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current, and AASB 2020-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current – Deferral of Effective Date AASB 2020-1 amends AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements to clarify requirements for the presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial position as current or non-current. It requires a liability to be classified as current when entities do not have a substantive right to defer settlement at the end of the reporting period. AASB 2020-6 defers the mandatory effective date of amendments that were originally made in AASB 2020-1 so that the amendments are required to be applied for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023 instead of 1 January 2023.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 June 2021 -26- NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (e) Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements are those of the consolidated entity (“the group”), comprising the financial statements of the parent entity and all of the entities the parent controls. The group controls an entity where it has the power, for which the parent has exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity, and for which the parent has the ability to use its power over the entity to affect the amount of its returns. The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent entity, using consistent accounting policies. Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies which may exist. All inter group balances and transactions, including any unrealised profits or losses have been eliminated on consolidation. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is obtained by the group and are de recognised from the date that control ceases. Equity interests in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the group are presented as non controlling interests. Non controlling interests are initially recognised either at fair value or at the non controlling interests’ proportionate share of the acquired entity’s net identifiable assets. This decision is made on an acquisition by acquisition basis. Non controlling interests in the results of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and the statement of financial position respectively. (f) Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with AASB requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making the judgements about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised; if it affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. (i) Significant accounting judgements include: Exploration and evaluation costs Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are carried forward in respect of an area that has not at reporting date reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active Group operations in, or relating to, the area of interest are continuing. (ii) Significant accounting estimates and assumptions include: Impairment of exploration and evaluation assets The ultimate recoupment of the value of exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on the successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale, of the exploration and evaluation assets. On a regular basis, management consider whether there are indicators as to whether the asset carrying values exceed their recoverable amounts. This consideration includes assessment of the following: (a) expiration of the period for which the entity has the right to explore in the specific area of interest with no plans for renewal; (b) substantive expenditure on further exploration for and evaluation in the specific area is neither budgeted nor planned; (c) exploration for and evaluation activities have not led to the discovery of commercially viable quantities of mineral resources and the entity has decided to discontinue such activities in the specific area; (d) sufficient data exist to indicate that, although a development in the specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development or by sale. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 June 2021 -27- Brightstar Resources Limited NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (f) Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty (continued) Where an impairment indicator is identified, the determination of the recoverable amount requires the use of estimates and judgement in determining the inputs and assumptions used in determining the recoverable amounts. The key areas of judgement and estimate include: - Recent exploration and evaluation results and resource estimates; - - Environmental issues that may impact on the underlying tenements; Fundamental economic factors that have an impact on the operations and carrying values of assets and liabilities. Recoverability of Mine Property and Plant Certain assumptions are required to be made in order to assess the recoverability of Mine Property and Plant. The recoverable amount of Mine Property and Plant is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. Mine Property and Plant values are tested on a “Fair value less costs of disposal” as a basis to determine any impairment. In estimating the fair value of Mine Property and Plant, the Group engages third party qualified valuers to perform the valuation of Mine Property and Plant. The key areas of judgement and estimate include: -- Auction Value of Mine Property and Plant (last performed in July 2017); and -- Fundamental economic factors that have an impact on the operations and carrying values of assets and liabilities. Provision for restoration and rehabilitation obligations The estimated costs of future site rehabilitation and restoration, including heritage preservation where required, associated with previous mining and/or exploration activity are provided for as and when an obligation arises and are included in the costs of the related area of interest. These costs include the dismantling and removal of any plant, equipment and building structures and rehabilitation, where such work is deemed appropriate by the relevant government authorities and the cost of making safe any remaining aspects of the previous mining operation. The costs are based on estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and existing technology. The provision is based on the best available information of costs expected to be incurred at the expiry of the respective license agreements. Such costs have been provided for at the present value of future expected expenditure discounted using a rate adjusted for risks specific to the liability. On an ongoing basis the closure liability is remeasured at each reporting period in line with the changes in time value of money (recognised as a finance expense in profit or loss and an increase in provision), and changes in estimates of future costs or methods of rehabilitation. Changes in the closure liability are recognised prospectively. Certain assumptions are required to be made in determining the amount expected to be incurred to settle its obligations in relation to restoration and rehabilitation of the mine site. Key assumptions include the amount and timing of future cash flow estimates. Share-based payments The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with suppliers and employees by reference to the fair value of the goods or services received provided this can be estimated reliably. If a reliable estimate cannot be made the value of the goods or services is determined indirectly by reference to the fair value of the equity instrument granted. The fair value of the equity instruments granted is determined using an appropriate option pricing model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity. Please refer to Note 19 for further details.  Brightstar Resources Limited Brightstar Resources Limited NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 June 2021 -27- NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 June 2021 -28- NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (f) Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty (continued) (g) Income tax Where an impairment indicator is identified, the determination of the recoverable amount requires the use of estimates and judgement in determining the inputs and assumptions used in determining the recoverable amounts.

The fair value of the equity instruments granted is determined using an appropriate option pricing model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity. Please refer to Note 19 for further details. Current income tax expense or revenue is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the applicable tax rates when the assets are expected to be recovered or liabilities are settled. Deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not recognised if it arises from the 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 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. Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity. (h) Goods and services tax (GST) Revenues, expenses and purchased assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST. Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows. (i) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and at banks, short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less held at call with financial institutions, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position. (j) Property, plant and equipment Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Such cost includes the cost of replacing parts that are eligible for capitalisation when the cost of replacing the parts is incurred. Similarly, when each major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement only if it is eligible for capitalisation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets as follows: Office furniture and equipment Plant and equipment Motor vehicles 5 - 8 years 3 - 5 years 4 - 5 years The assets' residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end. (i) Impairment The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment at each balance date, with recoverable amount being estimated when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is based on the fair value less costs of disposal. An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash-generating units exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. The asset or cash-generating unit is then written down to its recoverable amount. For plant and equipment, impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss as impairment expenses. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 June 2021 -29- Brightstar Resources Limited NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (ii) Derecognition and disposal An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised. (k) Exploration and evaluation Exploration and evaluation expenditures in relation to each separate area of interest are recognised as an exploration and evaluation asset in the year in which they are incurred where the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and (ii) at least one of the following conditions is also met: (a) the exploration and evaluation expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploration of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; or (k) Exploration and evaluation (continued) (b) exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not at the balance date reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing. Exploration and evaluation assets are initially measured at cost and include acquisition of rights to explore, studies, exploratory drilling, trenching and sampling and associated activities and an allocation of depreciation and amortised of assets used in exploration and evaluation activities. General and administrative costs are only included in the measurement of exploration and evaluation costs where they are related directly to operational activities in a particular area of interest. Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the exploration and evaluation asset (for the cash generating unit(s) to which it has been allocated being no larger than the relevant area of interest) is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in previous years. Where a decision has been made to proceed with development in respect of a particular area of interest, the relevant exploration and evaluation asset is tested for impairment and the balance is then reclassified to development. (l) Mine development expenditure Mine development expenditure represents the accumulation of all exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred in respect of areas of interest in which a decision to mine has been made. Plant construction and commissioning costs are included as mine development expenditure until the commissioning phase is completed. Once commission phase is completed and production commences, all assets under mine development expenditure is transferred to mine property and plant. As at the date of the financial report, there are no mine development expenditure recognised by the Group. (m) Mine property and plant Once mine construction is completed, assets from mine development expenditure are transferred to mine property and plant (which is a sub category in property, plant and equipment). Mine property and plant are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated losses. When further development expenditure is incurred in respect of mine property after the commencement of production, such expenditure is carried forward as part of mine development expenditure only when substantial future economic benefits are thereby established, otherwise such expenditure is classified as part of the cost of production. Where mine property and plant is in production, amortisation of mine property and plant is provided on a unit of production basis, which results in a write off of the cost proportional to the depletion of the proven and probable mineral reserves. In accordance with its policy, the Company reviews the estimated useful lives of its mine property and plant on an ongoing basis. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 June 2021 -29- NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 June 2021 -30- NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Brightstar Resources Limited Brightstar Resources Limited (ii) Derecognition and disposal are expected from its use or disposal. An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised. (k) Exploration and evaluation Exploration and evaluation expenditures in relation to each separate area of interest are recognised as an exploration and evaluation asset in the year in which they are incurred where the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and (ii) at least one of the following conditions is also met: (a) the exploration and evaluation expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploration of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; or (k) Exploration and evaluation (continued) (b) exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not at the balance date reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing. Exploration and evaluation assets are initially measured at cost and include acquisition of rights to explore, studies, exploratory drilling, trenching and sampling and associated activities and an allocation of depreciation and amortised of assets used in exploration and evaluation activities. General and administrative costs are only included in the measurement of exploration and evaluation costs where they are related directly to operational activities in a particular area of interest. Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the exploration and evaluation asset (for the cash generating unit(s) to which it has been allocated being no larger than the relevant area of interest) is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in previous years.

(l) Mine development expenditure Mine development expenditure represents the accumulation of all exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred in respect of areas of interest in which a decision to mine has been made. Plant construction and commissioning costs are included as mine development expenditure until the commissioning phase is completed. Once commission phase is completed and production commences, all assets under mine development expenditure is transferred to mine property and plant. As at the date of the financial report, there are no mine development expenditure recognised by the Group. (m) Mine property and plant Once mine construction is completed, assets from mine development expenditure are transferred to mine property and plant (which is a sub category in property, plant and equipment). Mine property and plant are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated losses. When further development expenditure is incurred in respect of mine property after the commencement of production, such expenditure is carried forward as part of mine development expenditure only when substantial future economic benefits are thereby established, otherwise such expenditure is classified as part of the cost of production. Where mine property and plant is in production, amortisation of mine property and plant is provided on a unit of production basis, which results in a write off of the cost proportional to the depletion of the proven and probable mineral reserves. In accordance with its policy, the Company reviews the estimated useful lives of its mine property and plant on an ongoing basis. Where the Group’s mine property and plant is in care and maintenance, the Group has impaired assets to its fair value less cost of disposal and the Group amortises over a straight-line basis to account for the physical wear and tear while the asset remains idle, over an estimated remaining useful life of 5 years. The net carrying value of each area of interest is reviewed regularly and to the extent to which this value exceeds its recoverable amount, the excess is fully provided against or written off in the financial year in which this is determined. (n) Leases At the commencement date of a lease (other than leases of 12-months or less and leases of low value assets), the group recognises a lease asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. (n) Leases (continued) Lease assets Lease assets are initially recognised at cost, comprising the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date of the lease, less any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred by the group, and an estimate of costs to be incurred by the group in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease, unless those costs are incurred to produce inventories. Subsequent to initial recognition, lease assets are measured at cost (adjusted for any remeasurement of the associated lease liability), less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment loss. Lease assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful life of the underlying asset, consistent with the estimated consumption of the economic benefits embodied in the underlying asset. Lease liabilities Lease liabilities are initially recognised at the present value of the future lease payments (i.e., the lease payments that are unpaid at the commencement date of the lease). These lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined, or otherwise using the group’s incremental borrowing rate. Subsequent to initial recognition, lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments (i.e., the lease payments that are unpaid at the reporting date). Interest expense on lease liabilities is recognised in profit or loss (presented as a component of finance costs). Lease liabilities are remeasured to reflect changes to lease terms, changes to lease payments and any lease modifications not accounted for as separate leases. Variable lease payments not included in the measurement of lease liabilities are recognised as an expense when incurred. Leases of 12-months or less and leases of low value assets Lease payments made in relation to leases of 12-months or less and leases of low value assets (for which a lease asset and a lease liability has not been recognised) are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. (o) Non-current assets held for sale Non-current assets (and disposal groups) classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable, and the asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Management must be committed to the sale which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification.  Brightstar Resources Limited NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 June 2021 -31- NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (p) Borrowing costs Borrowing costs include interest expense calculated using the effective interest method, finance charges in respect of lease arrangements, and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs. Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred, except for borrowing costs incurred as part of the cost of the construction of a qualifying asset, in which case the costs are capitalised until the asset is ready for its intended use or sale. (q) Financial Instruments Initial recognition and measurement Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is the date that the Company commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the assets (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted). Financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at their fair value. Classification and subsequent measurement Financial liabilities Financial instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest expense in profit or loss over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the internal rate of return of the financial asset or liability. That is, it is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash flows through the expected life of the instrument to the net carrying amount at initial recognition. Financial assets Financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. With respect to trade and other receivables, these are recognised at the consideration that is unconditional which is considered to be fair value. The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected credit loss allowance for all trade receivables. The initial designation of the financial instruments to measure at fair value through profit or loss is a one-time option on initial classification and is irrevocable until the financial asset is derecognised. Derecognition Derecognition refers to the removal of a previously recognised financial asset or financial liability from the statement of financial position. Derecognition of financial liabilities A liability is derecognised when it is extinguished (i.e., when the obligation in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires). An exchange of an existing financial liability for a new one with substantially modified terms, or a substantial modification to the terms of a financial liability is treated as an extinguishment of the existing liability and recognition of a new financial liability. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss. Derecognition of financial assets A financial asset is derecognised when the holder’s contractual rights to its cash flows expire, or the asset is transferred in such a way that all the risks and rewards of ownership are substantially transferred. All the following criteria need to be satisfied for derecognition of financial assets: - - - the right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired or been transferred; all risk and rewards of ownership of the asset have been substantially transferred; and the Company no longer controls the asset (i.e., the Company has no practical ability to make a unilateral decision to sell the asset to a third party).  Brightstar Resources Limited Brightstar Resources Limited NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 June 2021 -31- NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 June 2021 -32- NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (p) Borrowing costs (r) Provisions – Employee benefits Borrowing costs include interest expense calculated using the effective interest method, finance charges in respect of (i) Wages, Salaries and Annual Leave lease arrangements, and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs. Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred, except for borrowing costs incurred as part of the cost of the construction of a qualifying asset, in which case the costs are capitalised until the asset is ready for its intended use or sale. (q) Financial Instruments Initial recognition and measurement Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is the date that the Company commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the assets (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted). Financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at their fair value. Classification and subsequent measurement Financial liabilities Financial instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest expense in profit or loss over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the internal rate of return of the financial asset or liability. That is, it is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash flows through the expected life of the instrument to the net carrying amount at initial recognition. Financial assets Financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. With respect to trade and other receivables, these are recognised at the consideration that is unconditional which is considered to be fair value. The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected credit loss allowance for all trade receivables. Derecognition of financial position. Derecognition of financial liabilities A liability is derecognised when it is extinguished (i.e., when the obligation in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires). An exchange of an existing financial liability for a new one with substantially modified terms, or a substantial modification to the terms of a financial liability is treated as an extinguishment of the existing liability and recognition of a new financial liability. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss. Derecognition of financial assets A financial asset is derecognised when the holder’s contractual rights to its cash flows expire, or the asset is transferred in such a way that all the risks and rewards of ownership are substantially transferred. All the following criteria need to be satisfied for derecognition of financial assets: the right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired or been transferred; all risk and rewards of ownership of the asset have been substantially transferred; and - - - the Company no longer controls the asset (i.e., the Company has no practical ability to make a unilateral decision to sell the asset to a third party). Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date. They are measured at their nominal values using the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and are measured at the rates paid or payable. (ii) Long Service Leave The liability for long service leave is recognised and measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee of departures, and period of service. (s) Provision for restoration and rehabilitation A provision for restoration and rehabilitation is recognised when there is a present obligation as a result of development activities undertaken, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of the provision can be measured reliably. The estimated future obligations include the costs of abandoning sites, removing facilities and restoring the affected areas. The provision for future restoration costs is the best estimate of the present value of the expenditure required to settle the restoration obligation at the balance date. Future restoration costs are reviewed annually and any changes in the estimate are reflected in the present value of the restoration provision at each balance date. The initial estimate of the restoration and rehabilitation provision is capitalised into the cost of the related asset and amortised on the same basis as the related asset, unless the present obligation arises from the production of inventory in the period, in which case the amount is included in the cost of production for the period. Changes in the estimate of the provision for restoration and rehabilitation are treated in the same manner unless they are not expected to be recovered over the course of the Groups operation where they are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss. The unwinding of the effect of discounting on the provision is recognised as a finance cost rather than being capitalised into the cost of the related asset. The initial designation of the financial instruments to measure at fair value through profit or loss is a one-time option on initial classification and is irrevocable until the financial asset is derecognised. (t) Share Capital Derecognition refers to the removal of a previously recognised financial asset or financial liability from the statement 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. (u) Earnings per share Basic earnings per share (‘EPS’) is calculated as net profit or loss attributable to members of the Company for the reporting period, after excluding any costs for servicing equity (other than ordinary shares and converting preference shares classified as ordinary shares for EPS calculation purposes), by the weighted average number of ordinary shares of the Company, adjusted for any bonus element. Diluted earnings is calculated by dividing the basic EPS earnings, adjusted by the after tax effect of financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary share and the effect on revenues and expenses of conversion, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and potential dilutive ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element. (v) Other revenue and other income Interest revenue is measured in accordance with the effective interest method. Dividend and other distribution revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend or other distribution has been established. Dividends and other distributions received from associates and joint ventures are accounted for in accordance with the equity method. All revenue is measured net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).  Brightstar Resources Limited NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 June 2021 -33- NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (w) Government grants The Group recognises stimulus package from the Australian Taxation Office (“ATO”) as a government grant when there is reasonable assurance that the entity will comply with the conditions attached to them, and the grant will be received. The amount is recognised as other income in profit or loss. (x) Non-current assets held for sale Non-current assets (and disposal groups) classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell. These assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered through a sale transaction rather than continuing use. The condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probably, the asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition and management is committed to the sale within one year from the date of classification.
