The corporate strategy of the Company is to successfully explore and advance our exploration and development projects, and in the case of manganese, transition from exploration to production in the near term. We aim to achieve this by the timely development of manganese mining operations in the Bryah Basin. This strategy received a significant boost in 2019 with successful negotiations establishing the Bryah Basin Manganese Joint Venture with OM (Manganese) Limited (OMM). OMM is a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX- listed OM Holdings Limited, a vertically integrated manganese company. This joint venture will potentially see OMM spend $7.3 million to earn a 70% interest in the joint venture. We believe that by partnering with OM Holdings Limited the Company has significantly enhanced this early production strategy. OM Holdings Limited have expertise in the key areas of manganese mining and processing, ferroalloy smelting and manganese ore marketing. The Company has worked quickly with OMM, spending $0.5 million to conduct Stage 1 exploration during the May – July 2019 period, with some very positive results across several sites reported to date. Stage 2 exploration has commenced with OMM funding the next $2.0 million of project work to earn a 51% interest in the Joint Venture. We look forward to drill testing new manganese target areas in the coming months. The Company listed in October 2017 with a focus on gold and copper exploration and whilst the recent exploration activities have focused on manganese, the Company’s exploration team has successfully advanced our gold and copper exploration projects over the last year in the Bryah Basin. Drilling in 2018 tested several geophysical targets with encouraging results. The best drilling results were achieved at the Windalah Prospect where significant gold mineralisation was intersected in two drill holes. The Windalah Prospect is geologically analogous to the Horseshoe Lights Copper-Gold mine located 13 kilometres to the north. Follow-up exploration of this exciting area is planned to commence in late 2019. Bryah Resources recorded a total comprehensive loss after tax of $551,649 (2018: $745,666) for the period ended 30 June 2019. Capitalised expenditure on exploration, excluding tenement acquisition costs, was $1,710,853 (2018: $1,180,427) during the financial year. During the year the Company completed a placement to raise $360,000 before costs in December 2018. In August 2019, a strongly supported $2.0 million placement was announced by the Company, which was approved by shareholders on 27 September 2019. Hartleys Limited are Lead Managers for the placement and once completed this injection of funds will place the business in a sound financial position going into 2020. The Board of Bryah Resources Limited remains committed to developing a self-sustaining and profitable resource exploration and development business and will continue to explore opportunities to value add and monetarise any non-core parts of the business. I thank management, our employees and consultants for their achievements this past year and look forward to reporting on the Company’s activities in the year ahead. Yours faithfully Ian Stuart Non-Executive Chairman 3 Bryah Resources Ltd ACN: 616 795 245 Directors’ Report Your directors present their report on Bryah Resources Limited (“Bryah” or the “Company”) for the year ended 30 June 2019.

The Bryah Basin is host to high-grade copper-gold deposits at DeGrussa, Monty and Horseshoe Lights. These copper-gold deposits are considered to originally be Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) systems. Importantly VMS systems globally are known to occur in clusters, therefore the Bryah Basin is highly prospective for further VMS copper-gold systems to be discovered through the application of the latest exploration techniques and deeper drilling. Figure 1 – Tenement Location Plan During the reporting period, exploration for copper-gold focused on drill testing several targets generated from earlier exploration programmes. RC Drilling Programme The Company commenced Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling in August 2018 with the aim of testing up to six conductors identified by airborne Versatile Time-Domain Electromagnetic (VTEM) and ground Moving Loop Electromagnetic (MLEM) surveys. A total of 6,194 metres of drilling was completed in 46 holes during the programme with the Windalah Prospect (see Figure 2), particularly, yielding positive drilling results. 5 Bryah Resources Ltd ACN: 616 795 245 Figure 2 – Bryah Basin Tenements and Regional Geology Map 6 Bryah Resources Ltd ACN: 616 795 245 Windalah Prospect At the Windalah Prospect five RC holes for 986 metres were drilled at an area where historical shallow Rotary Air Blast (RAB) drilling had recorded intervals of gold mineralisation in several holes. This area was considered to have geological similarities to the nearby Horseshoe Lights copper-gold mine1 located 13 kilometres to the north. Geological reconnaissance work has confirmed that the Windalah Prospect lies on the contact of the Narracoota Formation and the overlying Ravelstone Formation, commonly referred to as the “Horseshoe Lights (HSL) Mine Sequence” (see Figure 3). This stratigraphic position is considered to be highly prospective for repetitions of VMS copper-gold deposits, such as seen at Horseshoe Lights. The best gold intervals reported from the drilling at the Windalah Prospect were: • BBRC019: • BBRC020: 5 metres (79-84m) @ 6.62 g/t Au, including 1m (82-83m) @ 15.05 g/t Au 2 metres (78-80m) @ 3.39 g/t Au 4 metres (134-138m) @ 2.72 g/t Au, and 3 metres (145-148m) @ 6.69 g/t Au, including 1m (146-147m) @ 10.52 g/t Au. Figure 3 shows a combination of surface mapping and drill hole information (projected to surface) to understand the context of intense pyrite-chlorite±sericite alteration observed in drilling, particularly in holes BBRC017, BBRC018 and BBRC019. Reported observations were: • Gold mineralisation in BBRC019 and BBRC020 is located in a hematite-rich jasperoidal chert above the strong alteration zone, which could be indicative of a gold rich portion of a VMS system, such as was reported at the Horseshoe Lights copper-gold mine2. • The chert zone is consistent with being the key marker of the HSL Mine Sequence as is seen in other parts of the Bryah Basin. • The pyritic footwall alteration is within mafic volcanics of the Narracoota Formation, below sediments of the Ravelstone Formation and a transitional/chert zone. • BBRC017 and BBRC019 both appear to have drilled through the full thickness of the pyrite footwall alteration zone which is approximately 100 metres thick. • Mapping in the Windalah region has revealed widespread sericite-pyrite alteration. Figures 4 show a cross section of drill holes BBRC019 and BBRC020. The gold mineralisation and the strong alteration zone intersected appears to be open down dip and along strike in both directions. 1 Peak Hill South E52/260, Annual Report 16 March 1988 – 16 March 1989, J.C. Rippert, Afmeco Pty Ltd, March 1989 (WAMEX Report No A26830) 2 Parker, T.W.H. and Brown T., 1990 Horseshoe gold-copper-silver deposit, in Geology of the Mineral Deposits of Australia and Papua New Guinea (Ed F.E. Hughes) pp 671-675 (The Australian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy: Melbourne) 7 Bryah Resources Ltd ACN: 616 795 245 Figure 3 –Windalah Prospect Solid Geology and Drill hole Location Plan Additional drilling is needed to establish whether the Company has located VMS footwall alteration, or epigenetic (later) structurally-controlled alteration. However, factors in favour of this being VMS footwall alteration are: • The stratigraphy is similar to the Horseshoe Lights mine with gold mineralisation located within a jasperoidal chert. • Horseshoe Lights is known to have similar barren sericite-pyrite footwall alteration. • There is little evidence of major structures in the pyrite alteration zone (e.g. shear fabric and quartz veining). 8 Bryah Resources Ltd ACN: 616 795 245 The Windalah Prospect warrants additional drilling to further test for gold and copper-gold mineralisation. Jupiter Prospect Figure 4 – Drill Section B-B’ Seven holes for 1,148 metres were drilled at the Jupiter Prospect, testing a strong EM conductor. The Jupiter Prospect lies 4 km south-west of the Horseshoe Lights copper-gold mine (see Figure 5). Drilling at the Jupiter Prospect intersected a sulphide rich zone consisting of coarse and fine-grained massive, blebby and disseminated concentrations of pyrite associated with quartz veining in basalt. Further to the west of the Jupiter EM conductor, an additional 8 RC holes for 1,032 metres were drilled to test below anomalous gold and copper intervals reported from historical drilling. Overall the geology intersected at the Jupiter Prospect was highly encouraging with zones of propylitic alteration with strong chlorite, sericite and epidote observed. Follow-up diamond drilling appears warranted as part of future exploration to fully test this target area. 9 Bryah Resources Ltd ACN: 616 795 245 Figure 5 – Regional Drill Hole Location Plan 10 Bryah Resources Ltd ACN: 616 795 245 Bryah Basin - Manganese The Bryah Basin hosts several historical manganese mining areas. The Horseshoe Range area being main manganese producing region within the Bryah and Padbury Basins with production dominated by the Horseshoe South Mine and a smaller satellite deposit at the Horseshoe North Mine. Reported production from these deposits from 1948 to 1971, was 490,000 tonnes of manganese ore at an average grade of 42% manganese.3 Mining between 2008 and 2011 produced over 400,000 tonnes of manganese ore from processed historical stockpiles and hard rock mining. In May 2018, Bryah secured options to purchase the Horseshoe South Manganese Mining Lease and Manganese Rights over a 154 km2 area adjacent to the mine, including the Horseshoe North Mine. In April 2019, Bryah exercised its options on the Mining Lease and Manganese Rights with total consideration, including the option fees, being $440,000 ($270,000 in cash and $170,000 in shares). In April 2019, a Farm-in and Joint Venture Agreement (“Agreement”) between Bryah and OM (Manganese) Limited (OMM) was signed and a $250,000 Signing Fee was paid to Bryah by OMM. The Agreement objective is to explore for commercially mineable manganese, potentially leading to near term production. Since April 2019, OMM has funded $500,000 of project expenditure which has yielded highly encouraging manganese results. In August 2019, OMM advised Bryah of its election to proceed to form the Joint Venture4. Following the payment of the $250,000 Exercise Fee, OMM now holds an initial 10% interest in the Manganese Joint Venture. Under the Agreement, OMM will progressively fund the next $2 million of exploration expenditure to earn a further 41% interest in the Manganese Joint Venture. The Manganese Joint Venture includes the Horseshoe South Manganese Mine (see Figure 1). RC Drilling Programme During the period Bryah undertook a mapping and sampling programme of manganese areas. The sampling assay results confirmed the presence of in-situ surficial high-grade manganese at several locations which became the focus of drilling under the Agreement with OMM. A total of 122 holes for 3,062 metres of RC drilling was completed in May 2019 at four sites; the historic Horseshoe South Manganese mine, the Brumby Creek and Devils Hill Prospects and a nearby prospect named Black Cat (see Figure 2). A second drilling programme of 83 holes for 2,081 metres was completed in early July 2019. This drilling tested for extensions to mineralisation intersected in the first programme and further targets at Brumby Creek and Horseshoe South, as well as exploration drilling at the Black Caviar and Black Hill Prospects. Best results from the drilling are set out in Table 1 below. 3 Pirajno, F., Occhipinti, S. A., and Swager, C.

Drilling initially targeted areas of outcropping manganese either side of an interpreted syncline (see Figure 6). On the western area, drilling identified manganese mineralisation under shallow cover over a strike distance of 175 metres. On the eastern area, drilling also identified significant manganese mineralisation under shallow cover over a wide area (see Figures 7 & 8). Both areas remains open and requires additional drill testing. Figure 6 – Brumby Creek Prospect Drill Hole Location Plan 13 Bryah Resources Ltd ACN: 616 795 245 Figure 7 – Drill hole Section AA’ – Brumby Creek. Figure 8 - Drill hole Section BB’ – Brumby Creek. Reconnaissance drilling in the Brumby Creek area successfully identified new manganese areas up to 1 kilometre along strike to the south of the main area of drilling (see Figure 9). BRRC074 recorded the best drilling intersection with three zones exceeding 30% manganese recorded in the upper 12 metres of the drill hole. The Brumby Creek area warrants additional drilling to fully test the extent of manganese mineralisation. This reconnaissance drilling further demonstrates the potential to discover new manganese deposits from surface and under shallow cover over a wide project area. 14 Bryah Resources Ltd ACN: 616 795 245 Figure 9 – Brumby Creek Prospect Drill Hole Location Plan 15 Bryah Resources Ltd ACN: 616 795 245 Horseshoe South Prospect Results from drilling at the historic Horseshoe South Manganese Mine confirm the potential for zones of high-grade manganese mineralisation to be present just below the existing open pit surface. Drill hole HSRC012 intersected shallow mineralisation which is considered to be remnants of high-grade channel manganese in the Horseshoe South Pit (see Figure 10). Drilling also extended the zones of manganese mineralisation at the Horseshoe South Extended pit area. Figure 10 – Horseshoe South Prospect Drill Hole Location Plan 16 Bryah Resources Ltd ACN: 616 795 245 Black Hill Prospect The Black Hill Prospect was identified by the Company during rock chip sampling in 2017 and 2018. Rock chip samples grading over 40% Mn were recorded (see Figure 11). The deposit outcrops on the top of a low mesa-style hill which rises above the surrounding terrain. Two holes drilled in the hill top both intersected high-grade manganese with intervals from surface have recording direct shipping ore grades (see Figure 12). Additional drilling is required to test the northern extension to these high-grade results. Figure 11 – Black Hill Drill hole Location Plan 17 Bryah Resources Ltd ACN: 616 795 245 Gabanintha Project Figure 12– Drill hole Section AA’ – Black Hill. Bryah holds the rights to all minerals except Vanadium, Uranium, Cobalt, Chromium, Titanium, Lithium, Tantalum, Manganese & Iron Ore (Excluded Minerals) over a 200 km2 project area at Gabanintha, approximately 40km south of Meekatharra, Western Australia. Australian Vanadium Limited (AVL) retains 100% rights in the Excluded Minerals on the project, which includes its Australian Vanadium Project. During the period AVL reported a nickel and copper Mineral Resource estimate for its Australian Vanadium Project. An Inferred Base Metals Mineral Resource of 14.3Mt containing, inter alia, 666ppm Nickel, 217ppm Copper and 0.16% Sulphur has been estimated and reported by AVL5. The base metal sulphide Mineral Resource is considered by AVL to be potentially economically recoverable following metallurgical testwork undertaken by AVL as part of a Preliminary Feasibility Study on development of the Australian Vanadium Project in 2018. AVL has reported that the base metal sulphide mineralisation has consistently reported to the non-magnetic fraction during the separation of the vanadium bearing magnetite. This has effectively delivered a sulphide by-product for further concentration by flotation. AVL is presently undertaking additional testwork on this project A total of 26 RC drill holes for 2,484 metres were completed in the Company’s initial drilling programme at the Tumblegum South Prospect in December 2017. The Company intends undertaking additional drilling to follow up gold mineralisation intersected in that programme. 5 See AVL ASX announcement dated 28 November 2019 18 Bryah Resources Ltd ACN: 616 795 245 Directors The names of the directors in office during or since the end of the financial year and up to the date of this report are as follows.

Proceedings on behalf of the Company No person has applied for leave of Court to bring proceedings on behalf of the Company or intervene in any proceedings to which the Company is a party for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the company for all or any part of those proceedings. The Company was not a party to any such proceedings during the period. 21 Bryah Resources Ltd ACN: 616 795 245 Remuneration Report (Audited) This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each director and executive of the Company. For the purposes of this report Key Management Personnel of the Company are defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Company, directly or indirectly. For the purposes of this report the term “executive” includes those key management personnel who are not Directors of the Company. Remuneration Committee The full Board carries out the role and responsibilities of the Remuneration Committee and is responsible for determining and reviewing the compensation arrangements for the Directors themselves, the Managing Director and any Executives. Executive remuneration is reviewed annually having regard to individual and business performance, relevant comparative remuneration and internal and independent external advice. Remuneration policy The board policy is to remunerate Directors at market rates for time, commitment and responsibilities. The board determines payments to the Directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. The maximum aggregate amount of Directors’ fees that can be paid is subject to approval by shareholders in a general meeting, from time to time. Fixed fees for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the Company. However, to align Directors’ interests with shareholders’ interests, the Directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company and may be issued with options and performance rights from time to time. The Company’s aim is to remunerate at a level that will attract and retain high-calibre directors and employees. Company Directors and officers are remunerated to a level consistent with the size of the Company. The executive Directors and full time executives receive a superannuation guarantee contribution as required by government legislation, which is currently 9.5%, and do not receive any other retirement benefits. Some individuals, however, may choose to sacrifice part of their salary to increase payments towards superannuation. All remuneration paid to Directors and executives is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed. The Board believes that it has implemented suitable practices and procedures that are appropriate for an organisation of this size and maturity. Remuneration Structure In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive director and executive compensation is separate and distinct. Non-executive Director Compensation Objective The Board seeks to set aggregate compensation 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. 22 Bryah Resources Ltd ACN: 616 795 245 Structure The Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate compensation 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 latest determination approved by shareholders was an aggregate compensation of $500,000 per year. The amount of aggregate compensation 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. Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration may include an incentive portion consisting of options, as considered appropriate by the Board, which may be subject to Shareholder approval in accordance with ASX Listing Rules. Separate from their duties as Directors, the Non-Executive Directors may undertake work for the Company directly related to the evaluation and implementation of various business opportunities, including mineral exploration/evaluation and new business ventures, for which they may receive a daily rate. These payments will be made pursuant to individual agreements with the non-executive Directors and will not be taken into account when determining their aggregate remuneration levels. Executive Compensation Objective The entity aims to reward executives with a level and mix of compensation commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the entity so as to: • reward executives for Company and individual performance against targets set by appropriate benchmarks; • align the interests of executives with those of shareholders; • link rewards with the strategic goals and performance of the Company; and • ensure total compensation is competitive by market standards. Structure In determining the level and make-up of executive remuneration, the Board negotiates a remuneration to reflect the market salary for a position and individual of comparable responsibility and experience. Due to the limited size of the Company and of its operations and financial affairs, the use of a separate remuneration committee is not considered appropriate. Remuneration is regularly compared with the external market by participation in industry salary surveys and during recruitment activities generally. If required, the Board may engage an external consultant to provide independent advice in the form of a written report detailing market levels of remuneration for comparable executive roles. Remuneration consists of a fixed remuneration and a long-term incentive portion as considered appropriate. Compensation may consist of the following key elements: • Fixed Compensation; • Variable Compensation; • Short Term Incentive (STI); and • Long Term Incentive (LTI). 23 Bryah Resources Ltd ACN: 616 795 245 Fixed Remuneration The level of fixed remuneration is set so as to provide a base level of remuneration which is both appropriate to the position and is competitive in the market. Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Board having regard to the Company and individual performance, relevant comparable remuneration in the mining exploration sector and external advice. The fixed remuneration is a base salary or monthly consulting fee. Variable Pay - Long Term Incentives The objective of long-term incentives is to reward Directors/executives in a manner which aligns this element of remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth. The incentive portion is payable based upon attainment of objectives related to the director’s/executive’s job responsibilities. The objectives vary, but all are targeted to relate directly to the Company’s business and financial performance and thus to shareholder value. Long term incentives (LTIs) granted to Directors and executives may be delivered in the form of options or performance rights. LTI grants to executives are delivered in the form of the Company’s Performance Rights and Options Plan. The objective of the granting of options or rights 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 Company’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 Company. Typically, the grant of LTIs occurs at the commencement of employment or in the event that the individual receives a promotion. Employment contracts of directors and senior executives The employment arrangements of the non-executive chairman and non-executive directors are formalised in letters of appointment. Remuneration and other terms of employment for the Managing Director are formalised in an executive service agreement. The commencement date of this agreement is the date the Company listed on the ASX. Major provisions are set out below. Neil Marston, Managing Director: • Annual base salary of $240,000 plus superannuation; • Notice period required to be given by the Company for termination of one month, except in the case of conviction of any major criminal offence which brings the Company into lasting disrepute; • Notice period required to be given by the executive for termination of three months. 24 Bryah Resources Ltd ACN: 616 795 245 Details of remuneration for period Details of the remuneration of Directors and specified executives of Bryah Resources Limited are set out in the following table.

These financial statements and notes represent those of Bryah Resources Limited for the period ended 30 June 2019. Bryah Resources Limited is a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia. The Company is domiciled in Western Australia. The nature of operations and principal activities of the Company are described in the Directors' Report. 1(a) Basis of Preparation The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. The Company is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards. The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. Material accounting policies adopted in preparation of these financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated. The Company’s financial statements are presented in Australian dollars. 1(b) Going concern The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplated the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The directors have considered the funding and operational status of the business in arriving at their assessment of going concern and believe that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate, based upon the following: • Current cash and cash equivalents on hand; • The ability of the Company to obtain funding through various sources, including debt and equity; • The ability to further vary cash flow depending upon the achievement of certain milestones within the business plan; and • The expected receipt of sale proceeds. Should the entity not be able to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the financial statements and that the financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or liabilities that might be necessary should the entity not continue as a going concern. 1(c) Adoption of new and revised accounting standards The Company has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. It has been determined by the Company that, there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised standards and interpretations on its business and therefore no change is necessary to Company accounting policies including: 31 Bryah Resources Ltd ACN: 616 795 245 Notes to the Financial Statements For the period ended 30 June 2019 • AASB 9 Financial Instruments AASB 9 Financial Instruments introduces new classification and measurement models for financial assets and is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2018. The Company has applied AASB 9 using the modified retrospective approach because the measurement of financial assets under AASB9 are consistent to the Company’s current practice. • AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The Company does not currently have any contracts with customers in place. The Company does not consider there to be any material impact from the adoption of AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. 1(d) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted The AASB has issued new and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have mandatory application date or future reporting periods and which the Company has decided not to early adopt. A discussion of those future requirements and their impact on the Company is as follows: • AASB 16 Leases The standard replaces AASB 117 ‘Leases” and for lessees will eliminate the classifications of operating leases and finance leases, and require, subject to certain exemptions, the recognition of a ‘right-of- use asset’ and a corresponding lease liability, and the subsequent depreciation of the ‘right-of-use’ asset. For lessor accounting, the standard does not substantially change how a lessor accounts for leases. The Company is currently not party to any material operating or finance lease arrangements. This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 and as such the Company will adopt this standard from 1 July 2019. Whilst at this time the Company does not consider there to be any material impact from the adoption of AASB 16 Leases, it will make an assessment of potential effects over the next 12 month period. 1(e) Statement of Compliance The financial report was authorised for issue on 27 September 2019. Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). 1(f) Revenue and other income Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Interest revenue is recognised as it accrues, taking into account the effective yield on the financial asset. 32 Bryah Resources Ltd ACN: 616 795 245 Notes to the Financial Statements For the period ended 30 June 2019 1(g) Cash and cash equivalents Cash comprises cash at bank and in hand. Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as described above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. 1(h) Trade and other receivables Trade receivables, which generally have 30 days terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An allowance for doubtful debts is made when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect the debts. Bad debts are written off when identified. 1(i) Income Tax Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except when the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except when the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised, or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in profit or loss. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same 33 Bryah Resources Ltd ACN: 616 795 245 Notes to the Financial Statements For the period ended 30 June 2019 taxable entity and the same taxation authority. The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income legislation and the anticipation that the Company will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law. No deferred tax is recognised in the current period for the carried forward losses as the Company considers there will be no taxable profit to offset the brought forward tax losses in future. 1(j) Other taxes Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except: • when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and • receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position. Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority. 1(k) Plant and equipment Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets as follows: Plant and equipment - 5 to 10 years Motor vehicles - 8 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 property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment at each reporting 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 the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre- tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. 34 Bryah Resources Ltd ACN: 616 795 245 Notes to the Financial Statements For the period ended 30 June 2019 For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs, unless the asset’s value in use can be estimated to be close to its fair value. 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. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. (ii) Derecognition and disposal An item of 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 the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the year the asset is derecognised. 1(l) Exploration and evaluation expenditure Exploration and evaluation expenditures in relation to each separate area of interest are recognised as an exploration and evaluation asset in the period 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) (b) the exploration and evaluation expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; or exploration and evaluation activities in the area have not, at the reporting 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 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 amortisation 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 periods. 35 Bryah Resources Ltd ACN: 616 795 245 Notes to the Financial Statements For the period ended 30 June 2019 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. 1(m) Impairment of non-financial assets The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset’s value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash-generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre- tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount (in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease). An assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior periods. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life. 1(n) Trade and other payables Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised costs and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial period that are unpaid and arise when the Company becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. 1(o) Leases Leases where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Company as lessee are classified as operating leases (Note 15(b)). Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. 1(p) Employee benefits Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, and annual leave expected to be settled 36 Bryah Resources Ltd ACN: 616 795 245 Notes to the Financial Statements For the period ended 30 June 2019 within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. 1(q) Share-based payment transactions The Company may provide benefits to employees (including senior executives) of the Company in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity-settled transactions). When provided, 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 an external valuer using a Black-Scholes model. In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of the Company (market conditions) if applicable. 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) (ii) the extent to which the vesting period has expired, and the Company’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 amount charged or credited to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period. 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. The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share. 1(r) Issued capital 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. 37 Bryah Resources Ltd ACN: 616 795 245 Notes to the Financial Statements For the period ended 30 June 2019 1(s) 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 the Company. The Company presently operates in one segment being mineral exploration within Australia. 1(t) Earnings per share Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit or loss attributable to members of the Company, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element. Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit or loss attributable to members of the Company, 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 revenues 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. • 1(u) Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgments In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made the following estimates and judgments, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements. Exploration and evaluation assets The Company’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure is set out at Note 1(j). The application of this policy necessarily requires management to make certain judgements and assumptions as to future events and circumstances. Any such judgements and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. If, after having capitalised expenditure under the policy, it is concluded that the expenditures are unlikely to be recovered by future exploitation or sale, then the relevant capitalised amount will be written off to the statement profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Share-based payment transactions The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees and directors by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined from a Black-Scholes pricing model that incorporates various estimates and assumptions. 1(v) Comparative figures The Company was listed on the ASX on 17 October 2017. As the Company was not publicly listed and fully active for the full period to 30 June 2018, caution should be applied when analysing comparative figures between the 30 June 2018 and 30 June 2019 reporting periods. 38 Bryah Resources Ltd ACN: 616 795 245 Notes to the Financial Statements For the period ended 30 June 2019 2.

COMMITMENTS 15(a) Exploration Commitments 2019 $ 2018 $ The Company has certain obligations to perform minimum exploration work and to expend minimum amounts of money on such work on mining tenements. These obligations may be varied from time to time subject to approval and are expected to be fulfilled in the normal course of the operations of the Company. These commitments have not been provided for in the accounts. The current minimum expenditure commitments on the tenements are: Payable - - no later than 1 year between 1 and 5 years 473,480 2,616,420 3,089,900 391,980 656,280 1,048,260 15(b) Operating Lease Commitments Minimum lease payments payable for non-cancellable operating leases contracted for but not recognised in the financial statements: Payable - - no later than 1 year between 1 and 5 years1 31,727 - 31,727 46,370 31,727 78,097 The non-cancellable sub-lease is for office premises. 1The current office sub-lease is due to expire on 29 February 2020.

SEGMENT INFORMATION AASB 8 requires a ‘management approach’ under which segment information is presented on the same basis as that used for internal reporting purposes. The Board as a whole will regularly review the identified segments in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance. During the year, the Company considers that it operated in only one segment, being mineral exploration within Australia. All the assets are located in Australia only. 18. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES In the opinion of the Directors, the Company does not have any contingent liabilities as at 30 June 2019. 19. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT The Company’s principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables, cash and short-term deposits. The Company manages its exposure to key financial risks in accordance with the Company’s financial risk management policy. The objective of the policy is to support the delivery of the Company’s financial targets while protecting future financial security. The main risks arising from the Company’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company does not speculate in the trading of derivative instruments. The Company uses different methods to measure and manage different types of risks to which it is exposed. These include monitoring levels of exposure to interest rates and assessments of market forecasts for interest rates. 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, including for interest rate risk, credit allowances and cash flow forecast projections. 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 and financial liability are disclosed in note 1 to the financial statements. 46 Bryah Resources Ltd ACN: 616 795 245 Notes to the Financial Statements For the period ended 30 June 2019 19(a) Interest rate risk The Company’s exposure to risks of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s cash balances. The Company 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. As the Company has no interest-bearing borrowings its exposure to interest rate movements is limited to the amount of interest income it can potentially earn on surplus cash deposits. The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest rate risk exposures in existence at the reporting date. 2019 $ 2018 $ At the reporting date, the Company had the following financial assets exposed to variable interest rates that are not designated in cash flow hedges: Financial Assets Cash and cash equivalents (interest-bearing accounts) 577,410 577,410 2,503,789 2,503,789 The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest rate risk exposures in existence at the reporting date. At the reporting date, if interest rates had moved as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit and equity relating to financial assets of the Company would have been affected as follows: Estimates of reasonably possible movements: Post tax profit – higher / (lower) +0.5% -0.5% Equity – higher / (lower) +0.5% -0.5% 19(b) Liquidity Risk 2,504 (2,504) 2,504 (2,504) 7,061 (7,061) 7,061 (7,061) The Company manages liquidity risk by monitoring immediate and forecast cash requirements and ensuring adequate cash reserves are maintained. 47 Bryah Resources Ltd ACN: 616 795 245 Notes to the Financial Statements For the period ended 30 June 2019 19(c) Credit risk Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Company, which comprise deposits with banks and trade and other receivables. The Company’s exposure to credit risk arises from potential default of the counter party, with the maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. The carrying amounts of financial assets included in the statement of financial position represents the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to those assets. The Company does not hold any credit derivatives to offset its credit exposure. The Company trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties and as such collateral is not requested nor is it the Company’s policy to securitise its trade and other receivables. Receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Company does not have a significant exposure to bad debts. There are no significant concentrations of credit risk within the Company. All surplus cash holdings within the Company are currently invested with mainstream Australian financial institutions. 19(d) Capital Management Risk Management controls the capital of the Company in order to maximise the return to shareholders and ensure that the Company can fund its operations and continue as a going concern. Management effectively manages the Company’s capital by assessing the Company’s financial risks and adjusting its capital structure in response to changes in these risks and in the market. These responses include the management of expenditure and debt levels and share and option issues. The Company has no external loan debt facilities other than trade payables. There have been no changes in the strategy adopted by management to control capital of the Company since the prior period. 19(e) Commodity Price and Foreign Currency Risk The Company’s exposure to price and currency risk is minimal given the Company is still in the exploration phase. 19(f) Fair Value The methods of estimating fair value are outlined in the relevant notes to the financial statements. All financial assets and liabilities recognised in the statement of financial position, whether they are carried at cost or fair value, are recognised at amounts that represent a reasonable approximation of fair values unless otherwise stated in the applicable notes. 48 Bryah Resources Ltd ACN: 616 795 245 Notes to the Financial Statements For the period ended 30 June 2019 20. EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO THE REPORTING DATE The following matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial period which significantly affect, or may significantly affect, the operations of the Company, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Company in subsequent financial years: • the Company announced that it had received firm commitments for a capital raising of $2.0 million at $0.06 per share. The Placement is conditional upon the Company receiving shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 to enable the Company to issue the shares under the Placement in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules. The Placement was approved by shareholders on 27 September 2019 and completion of the Placement is expected to occur in the first week of October 2019, and • OM (Manganese) Limited formally elected to proceed with the formation of the Bryah Basin Manganese Joint Venture pursuant to the terms of the Farm-in and Joint Venture Agreement signed on 16 April 2019. The Joint Venture applies to Manganese Mineral Rights only, with Bryah retaining rights to all other minerals. Under the Agreement: i. ii. OMM paid the Exercise Fee of $0.25 million to Bryah to earn an initial 10% JV interest on 30 August 2019. OMM will fund a further $2.0 million of project expenditure by 30 June 2022 to earn an additional 41% JV interest, giving OMM a total of 51% JV interest. iii. Upon OMM earning its 51% JV interest, OMM may elect to be Project Manager and Bryah may elect not to contribute to project expenditure, diluting from 49% to 40% JV interest by OMM funding the next $1.8 million of project expenditure. iv. Upon OMM earning its 60% JV interest, Bryah may elect not to contribute to project expenditure, diluting from 40% to 30% JV interest by OMM funding the next $2.5 million of project expenditure. 49 Bryah Resources Ltd ACN: 616 795 245 Notes to the Financial Statements For the period ended 30 June 2019 RELATED PARTIES TRANSACTIONS 21. 21(a) Key Management Personnel Disclosures relating to key management personnel are set out in note 16 and the remuneration report included in the Directors' Report. 21(b) Transactions with Related Parties The following transaction occurred with related parties: Payment for goods and services Payment for office rent and other services from Australian Vanadium Limited (director-related entity of Leslie Ingraham) 21(c) Receivable from and payable to related parties Current payables Trade payables to Australian Vanadium Limited (director- related entity of Leslie Ingraham) 2019 $ 2018 $ 93,810 143,394 93,810 143,394 103,192 32,572 103,192 32,572 21(d) Loans to/from related parties There were no loans to or from related parties at the current and previous reporting date. 21(e) Terms and Conditions All transactions were made on normal commercial terms and conditions and at market rates.
