The report illustrates the immense success Calidus has enjoyed over the past year, ranging from the results of the Updated Pre- Feasibility Study on our Warrawoona gold project and securing key project approvals through to the imminent start of early construction works and our share price, which has doubled. At the time of writing, we have just secured approval for Warrawoona from the Western Australian Minister for the Environment. We have also just received indicative term sheets for project funding from potential lenders and we have almost completed the Feasibility Study. These milestones highlight the extent to which we are running parallel processes to accelerate the development of Warrawoona. As part of this approach, are about to commence construction works, including an access road and a 240-person accommodation camp. These works will pave the way for main construction to start early 2021. We have been able to adopt a multi-pronged approach to the development of Warrawoona, including the start of the early works, thanks in part to the $25 million capital raising completed shortly after the end of the financial year. The success of this raising reflected the strong outlook for Warrawoona. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank those who supported us in this capital raising. The underlying technical and economic strength of Warrawoona was highlighted by the results of the Updated Pre-Feasibility Study completed towards the end of the financial year. This study indicated Warrawoona was set to produce ~85,000oz a year at an all-in sustaining cost of A$1,251/oz. This prospect is particularly enticing given that the gold price at the time of writing was around A$2,650/oz. The Updated Pre-Feasibility Study included a 24 per cent increase in Reserves to 519,000oz. Based on a gold price of A$2,500/oz, Warrawoona will generate a post-tax internal rate of return of 77 per cent and have a payback period of just 13 months. The study also took into account several significant changes that are designed to minimise risk, maximise initial cash generation and ensure a simple and robust operation to maximise value to shareholders. These strong findings and the current gold price were key factors in the Board’s decision to accelerate the development timetable. With the Feasibility Study almost complete, the key approvals in place and early construction works about to start, Calidus is firmly on track for first production in early 2022. While we are working furiously to advance Warrawoona as quickly as practicable, your Board and Management are also eager to identify opportunities which may enable us to grow Warrawoona and the wider Company. As part of this strategy, Calidus executed a Heads of Agreement during the year under which it can earn an interest of up to 70% in tenements that host the Otways Project and Reedies porphyry prospect, 50km from Warrawoona. Exploration undertaken in the 1960s and in the 1980s highlighted strong potential for copper and gold at Otways, though the area has not been subjected to any modern exploration techniques. At the time of writing, our first drilling program was underway. The Otways deal reflects the Company’s plan to continue growing our asset base in the Pilbara. We believe we are well placed to leverage the infrastructure we are developing at Warrawoona, whether it be through projects that form part of Warrawoona or become standalone operations. The past year has seen your Company successfully transition to an emerging gold producer, with momentum building at Warrawoona on several fronts. I would like to thank our management team, staff and contractors for their hard work and dedication, which has been integral to our strong progress. I also thank our shareholders for their support over the past year and I look forward to reporting to you as construction advances at Warrawoona.

The Project site is located 28km South East of Marble Bar accessed by an all-weather road. Marble Bar is two hours travel by road from Port Hedland, Australia’s largest Port and provides ease of access to logistic routes, major suppliers and relevant skills base (Figure 1). Figure 1: Location of the Warrawoona Gold Project P a g e | 4 CALIDUS RESOURCES LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ABN 98 006 640 553 ANNUAL REPORT 30 June 2020 Calidus’ landholding at the Project consists of approximately 780 square kilometres of prospective tenements covering the entire greenstone belt within the Pilbara Craton. The Project area contains over 200 historic workings and hosts the flagship Klondyke Prospect and a further three satellite prospects at Fieldings Gully, Copenhagen and Coronation (Figure 2). The Project is located on granted mining leases which have been recently renewed for 30 years. Gold was first discovered in the Marble Bar area in 1896 and was mined for around 15 years during that period. The majority of the Project is located on the Warrawoona Mining Common which is excised from the surrounding pastoral lease. Figure 2: Warrawoona Gold Project Location and tenements Updated Pre-Feasibility Study and Maiden Reserve Calidus announced results of the Updated Pre-Feasibility Study (Updated PFS) and a JORC Reserve for its Warrawoona Project in June 20201. The Updated PFS Study highlighted the strong cashflow, outstanding financial returns and short payback of Warrawoona. The Updated PFS included a 24 per cent increase in Reserves to 519,000oz. This underpins forecast production averaging 85,000 ounces a year in the first six years, including 90,000oz in year one, at an average AISC of A$1251/oz. Based on a gold price of A$2,500/oz, the average gold price for the last six months prior to release of the Updated PFS, Warrawoona will generate a post-tax internal rate of return of 77 per cent and have a payback period of just 13 months. Considering these strong findings and the current gold price, Calidus is committed to accelerating its development timetable, with Project construction planned to start in the March quarter of next year. 1 See ASX Announcement “Updated PFS Delivers Increased Reserves and Robust Financials” dated 29 June 2020. P a g e | 5 ANNUAL REPORT 30 June 2020 CALIDUS RESOURCES LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ABN 98 006 640 553 The Updated PFS reflects several significant changes that are aimed to minimise risk, maximise initial cash generation and ensure a simple and robust operation to maximise value to shareholders. These changes include the modelling technique used in the Mineral Resource that includes greater inherent dilution than the initial PFS, delaying the underground development until year three to minimise construction capital and allow a single focus on the low risk Klondyke Open Pit and installation of a ball mill to ensure grind size and operational flexibility. With a Feasibility Study planned for the September quarter and construction planned in early 2021, the Updated PFS provides a clear, simple, lower capital and lower risk road map to near term gold production for Calidus.

This is the penultimate stage in the permitting process, with final approval vesting with the Minister for Environment and anticipated in the September Quarter. The EPA’s report is available on the EPA website.4 Tenure Finalised for Project Development The Company completed the purchase of tenement E45/5172, which covers most of the historic Marble Bar Goldfield located just 25km from Warrawoona. The Company also purchased the remaining 50% of tenement E45/4843, which covers the historic Salgash mining area of the Warrawoona Goldfield. In addition, the Company earned 70% of the Novo Resources Corporation tenements, which comprise tenements E45/3381, E45/4666, E45/4622, E45/4194, P45/2781 and E45/4934. Calidus was granted a General Purpose Lease (G45/345). This lease will encompass the processing plant, tails dam and waste dump for the Project. With the grant of this lease, Warrawoona now has all the Mining Leases, Miscellaneous Leases and General Purpose Lease tenure required to commence construction (Figure 3) Figure 3: Granted Leases over the Warrawoona Gold Project 4 See ASX Announcement “EPA Recommends Approval of Warrawoona Gold Project” dated 25 June 2020. P a g e | 8 CALIDUS RESOURCES LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ABN 98 006 640 553 Marble Bar Airport Upgrade ANNUAL REPORT 30 June 2020 During the year, Calidus announced that it has entered into a Non-Binding Heads of Agreement with the Shire of East Pilbara for an upgrade to the Marble Bar Airport. The upgrade is expected to facilitate 100 seater jets with an all-weather sealed surface. The capital cost of the upgrade has been estimated at approximately $7 million with Calidus expected to contribute $2 million. The Non-Binding Heads of Agreement anticipates the design of the airport being undertaken jointly by the parties. Calidus and the Shire of East Pilbara will now progress with preparing binding formal agreements in order to fund, construct and operate the airport with construction anticipated to commence in 2021. Purchase of Camp Calidus took advantage of compelling commercial terms to purchase a 240-room accommodation village located in the Pilbara. The village’s location minimises relocation costs and is a further step forward in the development of Warrawoona. Calidus has applied for an Early Works Permit providing the option to install the village prior to receiving full Project Development approval. The village is being stored at Marble Bar with tenders issued for initial installation. Figure 4: Calidus Village being offloaded at Marble Bar P a g e | 9 ANNUAL REPORT 30 June 2020 Project Development Timeline CALIDUS RESOURCES LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ABN 98 006 640 553 As announced on 29 June 2020, in light of the strong findings of its Updated PFS, Calidus will start construction at Warrawoona in the March quarter of 2021. This will enable the Company to capitalise on a strong gold price outlook and robust forecast cashflow at Warrawoona. The project timeline is shown the table below. By the end of the 2020 calendar year, Calidus anticipates being fully permitted and Project Finance discussions to be well advanced. Exploration Activities Drilling Results During the year Calidus announced a host of outstanding results at the Warrawoona Gold Project5.

The drilling at Klondyke will target the main Klondyke structure 300m directly below the existing Resource and is expected to be completed in the September Quarter 2020. Calidus is planning to drill two holes, each with a wedge “daughter” hole drilled off it, beneath the centre of the Klondyke Resource to test the continuity of mineralisation at a depth of 300m below the existing 250m deep resource. RC pre- collars will be undertaken to a depth of 400m to 450m before swapping to diamond drilling. The programme is designed to prove continuity of the Klondyke Structure as a long-term source of ore for the upcoming development.

In the late 1960s, shallow (<60m depth) percussion drilling of coincident soil and IP anomalies by Conwest identified copper mineralisation in metabasalts at or near surface (refer Figure 7). In addition, several holes contain Cu mineralisation that is open at depth. Historic drilling was never assayed for gold but nearby costean samples returned values of up to 13g/t Au. Recent site visits identified the locations of previous drill holes and have confirmed visual occurrences of copper mineralisation at surface and in shallow workings.

Remuneration report (audited) CALIDUS RESOURCES LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ABN 98 006 640 553 The information in this remuneration report has been audited as required by s308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001. 14.1 Key management personnel (KMP) KMP have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Group. KMP comprise the directors of the Company and key executive personnel: • • • • • • Mr David Reeves Mr Mark Connelly Mr Keith Coughlan Mr Adam Miethke Mr Paul Brennan Mr Richard Hill Managing Director Non-executive Chairman Non-executive Director Non-executive Director (Resigned on 27 July 2020) Chief Operating Officer Chief Financial Officer (Appointed on 25 November 2019) 14.2 Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration The remuneration policy of the Company has been designed to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate to the result delivered. The framework aligns executive reward with the creation of value for shareholders and conforms to market best practice. The Board ensures that director and executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward government practices: • • • • • Competitiveness and reasonableness; Acceptability to the shareholder; Performance; Transparency; and Capital management. The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase the direct positive relationship between shareholders' investment objectives and directors' and executives' performance. Currently, this is facilitated through the issues of options to the majority of directors and executives to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests. The Company believes this policy will be effective in increasing shareholder wealth. The Board's policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for Board members and senior executive of the Company is as follows: a. Executive Directors and other Senior Executives The Company’s remuneration policy for executive directors and senior management is designed to promote superior performance and long-term commitment to the Company. Executives receive a base remuneration which is market related, and may receive performance based remuneration. The Board reviews executive packages annually by reference to the Company's performance, executive performance, and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries. Executives are also entitled to participate in employee share and option schemes. Given the developments in, and evolvement of the Company to date, the Board appointed a firm of independent remuneration advisors to review the Company’s remuneration and incentive plans in October 2019. The review was undertaken to ensure appropriateness of performance conditions (over the short and long term), vesting scales, targets and gates to the circumstances that are anticipated to prevail over the measurement period and the expectations of shareholders. i. Fixed Remuneration Correction Plan In October 2019, the Company engaged BDO (WA) Pty Ltd, independent remuneration consultants, to conduct a market review of the total fixed remuneration (TFR) packages of the Board and senior executives. The market review identified the Company Total Fixed Remuneration (TFR) packages to be at a discount to the market median. In order for the Company to conserve cash as it progresses its activities from the development of its asset to commercial production, the Company will utilise a 'once-off' equity allocation in the form of zero exercise price options (i.e. options with a nil exercise price) to ensure that the TFR package is market appropriate i.e. median. The equity allocation represents equity in lieu of additional salary. P a g e | 24 CALIDUS RESOURCES LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ABN 98 006 640 553 Directors' report ANNUAL REPORT 30 June 2020 For senior executives, the only vesting condition is that the executive must remain employed with the Company for a period of 12 months at which time the options will vest (Exec Options). A good leaver policy will apply to fixed remuneration options and the options are to be issued under the Company's Employee Securities Incentive Plan (ESIP), the terms of which are summarised in the Company's 2017 notice of annual general meeting, announced on ASX on 29 September 2017. The fixed remuneration correction plan therefore has a retentive benefit as well as ensuring that senior executives and non- executive directors are remunerated at market related rates. ii. Discretionary Salary Reduction in return for Shares Rights During the financial year, the Company initiated various cash preservation measures in March at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure it was funded through to a final investment decision on the Warrawoona Gold Project. This includes various directors, senior staff and consultants electing to take part of their pay in the form of securities. The Company has invited director David Reeves (subject to shareholder approval), Paul Brennan and Richard Hill to participate in a discretionary salary reduction in return for rights to acquire shares (Share Rights) to be granted under the ESIP, whereby they may elect to accrue up to 50% of their salary (Reduced Amount) from 1 April to 30 June 2020. The number of rights was determined with reference to the VWAP for the month of April 2020. The rationale for inviting the director and executives to participate in a discretionary salary reduction in return for Share Rights is to preserve cash within the Company, strengthen the Company's balance sheet, align directors' remuneration with the Company's and shareholders' objectives, and to provide directors and executives with an incentive to enhance shareholder value. b. Non-Executive Directors The Company's Constitution provides that directors are entitled to be remunerated for their services as follows: • The total aggregate fixed sum per annum to be paid to the directors (excluding salaries of executive directors) from time to time will not exceed the sum determined by the shareholders in general meeting and the total aggregate fixed sum will be divided between the directors as the directors shall determine and, in default of agreement between them, then in equal shares. The directors' remuneration accrues from day to day. • The directors are entitled to be paid reasonable travelling, accommodation and other expenses incurred by them respectively in or about the performance of their duties as directors. Notwithstanding the aforementioned, and based on advice from an independent remuneration expert, the remuneration structure for Non-Executive Directors represents the following structure: • • • Annual board fees; Committee fees; and Equity based fees (in lieu of fixed fees). The equity-based fees to be considered for non-executive directors will not be subject to performance conditions. This will be in-line with best practice governance standards, including the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Principles. i. Fixed Remuneration Correction Plan In October 2019, the Company engaged an independent remuneration expert to conduct a market review of the TFR packages of the Board and senior executives. The market review identified the Company TFR packages to be at a discount to the market median. P a g e | 25 ANNUAL REPORT 30 June 2020 Directors' report CALIDUS RESOURCES LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ABN 98 006 640 553 In order for the Company to conserve cash as it progresses its activities from the development of its asset to commercial production, the Company will utilise a 'once-off' equity allocation in the form of zero exercise price options (i.e. options with a nil exercise price) to ensure that the TFR package is market appropriate i.e. median. The equity allocation represents equity in lieu of additional salary. For non-executive directors, the only vesting condition is that the non-executive director must remain with the Company for a period of 3 years, with a third of the options vesting each year (NED Options). A good leaver policy will apply to NED Options and the options are to be issued under the Company's Employee Securities Incentive Plan (ESIP), the terms of which are summarised in the Company's 2017 notice of annual general meeting, announced on ASX on 29 September 2017. The fixed remuneration correction plan therefore has a retentive benefit as well as ensuring that non-executive directors are remunerated at market related rates. ii. Discretionary Fees Reduction in return for Shares Rights During the financial year, the Company initiated various cash preservation measures in March at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure it was funded through to a final investment decision on the Warrawoona Gold Project. This includes various directors, senior staff and consultants electing to take part of their pay in the form of Securities. The Company has, subject to Shareholder approval, invited Mark Connelly and former director Adam Miethke to participate in a discretionary salary reduction in return for rights to acquire Shares (Share Rights) to be granted under the ESIP, whereby they may elect to accrue up to 50% of their salary (Reduced Amount) from 1 April to 30 June 2020. The rationale for inviting the directors to participate in a discretionary salary reduction in return for Share Rights is to preserve cash within the Company, strengthen the Company's balance sheet, align directors' remuneration with the Company's and shareholders' objectives, and to provide directors with an incentive to enhance shareholder value. c. Fixed Remuneration Other than statutory superannuation contribution, no retirement benefits are provided for executive and non-executive directors of the Company. To align directors' interests with shareholder interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the company. d. Incentive Plan Arrangements for Executive Directors and Senior Executives The Company does not have a defined cash-based incentive plan. As the Company is a non-producer, and in order to limit its outgoings, the Board wishes to conserve and utilise its cash holdings in the most effective manner possible. In addition, to ensure the executive directors and senior executives have the ability to participate in the value that is being created and delivered an allocation of zero exercise price options are issued under the terms of the ESIP (Incentive Options). The Incentive Options will expire 5 years from the date of grant and will vest subject to the relevant executive director or senior executive remaining employed by the Company at the date of vesting, and: (i) half of the Incentive Options will vest upon the latter of the following: (a) the Company announcing successful completion of a positive definitive feasibility study for the Warrawoona Gold Project (DFS); and (b) the Company announcing that it has acquired the approvals and permits required to commence construction of the mine on the Warrawoona Gold Project from the Environmental Protection Authority, the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety, and the Department of the Environment and Energy; and (ii) subject to the vesting of the first half of the Incentive Options, the second half of the Incentive Options will vest upon the Company announcing that first gold pour has been achieved at the Warrawoona Gold Project.

BDO (WA) Pty Ltd was paid $12,500 for these services. g.

Calidus is a company limited by shares, domiciled and incorporated in Australia. The separate financial statements of Calidus, as the parent entity, have not been presented with this financial report as permitted by the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). The financial statements were authorised for issue on 11 September 2020 by the directors of the Company. a. Basis of preparation The financial statements comprise the consolidated financial statements of the Group. For the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Company is a for-profit entity. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are presented below. They have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated. i. Statement of compliance These financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) set out accounting policies that the AAS Board has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which they apply. Compliance with AASBs ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with IFRS as issued by the IASB. ii. Use of estimates and judgments The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. These estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 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 and in any future period affected. iii. Comparative figures Where required by AASBs comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with changes in presentation for the current financial year. Where the Group retrospectively applies an accounting policy, makes a retrospective restatement or reclassifies items in its financial statements, an additional (third) statement of financial position as at the beginning of the preceding period in addition to the minimum comparative financial statements is presented. b. Accounting Policies Except where stated below, the Group has consistently applied the following accounting policies to all period presented in the financial statements. The Group has considered the implications of new and amended Accounting Standards applicable for annual reporting period beginning after 1 July 2019 as per (d) below. c. Principles of consolidation As at the reporting date, the assets and liabilities of all controlled entities have been incorporated into the consolidated financial statements as well as their results for the year then ended. Where controlled entities have entered (left) the Consolidated Group during the year, their operating results have been included (excluded) from the date control was obtained (ceased). i. Business combinations Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as at the acquisition date, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Group. Control exists when the Group is exposed to variable returns from another entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. P a g e | 38 ANNUAL REPORT 30 June 2020 CALIDUS RESOURCES LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ABN 98 006 640 553 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020 Note 1 Statement of significant accounting policies Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020 1 Statement of significant accounting policies c. Principles of consolidation (continued) The Group measures goodwill at the acquisition date as: ◼ the fair value of the consideration transferred; plus ◼ the recognised amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquired entity; plus ◼ if the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the existing equity interest in the acquiree; less ◼ the net recognised amount of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognised immediately in profit or loss. The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are generally recognised in profit or loss. Costs related to the acquisition, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Group incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred. Any contingent consideration payable is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in profit or loss. ii. Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed when necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Group. Losses applicable to the non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are allocated to the non-controlling interests even if doing so causes the non-controlling interests to have a deficit balance. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 18 Controlled Entities of the financial statements. iii. Loss of control Upon the loss of control, the Group derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, any non-controlling interests and the other components of equity related to the subsidiary. Any surplus or deficit arising on the loss of control is recognised in profit or loss. If the Group retains any interest in the previous subsidiary, then such interest is measured at fair value at the date control is lost. Subsequently it is accounted for as an equity-accounted investee or as an available-for-sale financial asset depending on the level of influence retained. iv. Transactions eliminated on consolidation All intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

Application of New and Revised Accounting Standards The Group has considered the implications of new or amended Accounting Standards which have become applicable for the current financial reporting year and the group had to change its accounting policies as a result of adopting the following standard: AASB 16: Leases The Group as lessee At inception of a contract, the Group assesses if the contract contains a lease or is a lease. If there is a lease present, a right-of- use asset and a corresponding lease liability are recognised by the Group where the Group is a lessee. However, all contracts that are classified as short-term leases (i.e. a lease with a remaining lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low-value assets are recognised as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Initially the lease liability is measured at the present value of the lease payments still to be paid at the commencement date. The lease payments are discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are as follows: fixed lease payments less any lease incentives; • • variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date; • • • • payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the exercise of an option to terminate the lease. the amount expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees; the exercise price of purchase options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options; lease payments under extension options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options; and The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date and any initial direct costs. The subsequent measurement of the right-of-use assets is at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the lease term or useful life of the underlying asset, whichever is the shortest. Where a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group anticipates to exercise a purchase option, the specific asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. Initial Application of AASB 16: Leases Based on director’s assessment, the adoption of AASB 16 did not have any impact on the Group as its existing lease contract is short-term in nature. ii. Other standards not yet applicable Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the company. There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that would be expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting period and on foreseeable future transactions.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments Management discusses with the Board the development, selection and disclosure of the Group's critical accounting policies and estimates and the application of these policies and estimates. The estimates and judgements that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. i. Key Estimate – Exploration and evaluation expenditure Exploration and evaluation costs are carried forward where right of tenure of the area of interest is current. Refer to accounting policy stated in note 11 Exploration and evaluation assets. The carrying value of capitalised expenditure at reporting date is $24,329,686 (30 June 2019: $18,145,519). The ultimate recoupment of the value of the exploration and evaluation assets and mine properties is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation or alternatively, sale, of the underlying mineral exploration properties. The Group undertakes at least on an annual basis a comprehensive review for indicators of impairment of these assets. There is significant estimation and judgement in determining the inputs and assumptions used in determining the recoverable amounts. The key areas of estimation and judgement that are considered in this review include: • • • • • • Recent drilling results and reserves and resource estimates; Environmental issues that may impact the underlying tenements; The estimated market value of assets at the review date; Independent valuations of underlying assets that may be available; Fundamental economic factors such as gold prices, exchange rates and current and anticipated operating costs in the industry; and The Group’s market capitalisation compared to its net assets. Information used in the review process is rigorously tested to externally available information as appropriate. ii. Key Estimate —Environmental Issues Balances disclosed in the financial statements and notes thereto are not adjusted for any pending or enacted environmental legislation, and the directors understanding thereof. At the current stage of the company’s development and its current environment impact, the directors believe such treatment is reasonable and appropriate. iii. Key judgements and estimates – Taxation Balances disclosed in the financial statements and the notes thereto, related to taxation, are based on the best estimates of directors. These estimates take into account both the financial performance and position of the company as they pertain to current income taxation legislation, and the directors understanding thereof. No adjustment has been made for pending or future taxation legislation. The current income tax position represents that directors' best estimate, pending an assessment by tax authorities in relevant jurisdictions. Refer Note 5 Income Tax. iv. Key judgements and estimates – Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may have, on the Group based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the consolidated entity operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the Group unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. v. Share based payment transactions The group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an internal valuation using a Black-Sholes model, applying the assumptions detailed in Note 17.

Revenue Revenues represent revenue generated from external customers. There were no inter-segment revenues in the current year. Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns and allowances. Revenue is recognised in the income statement when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer. No revenue is recognised if there are significant uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration due or there is a risk of return of goods or there is continuing management involvement with the goods. All revenue is stated net of the amount of value added taxes. Interest income Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be reliably measured. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.

These benefits will only be obtained if: the company derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefits to be utilised; (a) (b) the company continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by law; and (c) no changes in income tax legislation adversely affect the company in utilising the benefits. The corporate tax rate for eligible companies will reduce from 30% to 25% by 30 June 2022 providing certain turnover thresholds and other criteria are met. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are required to be measured at the tax rate that is expected to apply in the future income year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled. The directors have determined that the deferred tax balances be measured at the tax rates stated. Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior period 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 balance date. Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the statement of financial position date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. 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: P a g e | 44 CALIDUS RESOURCES LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ABN 98 006 640 553 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020 Note 5 Income tax (continued) ANNUAL REPORT 30 June 2020 • 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; or • when the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance 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 balance 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 year 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 balance 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 taxable entity and the same taxation authority. 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.

At the end of the 2020 financial year, the Group has 15,788,500 unissued shares under options (2019: 166,500,000 [Pre 10:1 Shares Consolidation]), 2,100,000 performance rights on issue (2019: 12,000,000 [Pre 10:1 Shares Consolidation]), 497,903 share rights (2019: nil) and nil performance shares on issue (2019: 275,000,000 [Pre 10:1 Shares Consolidation]). The Group does not report diluted earnings per share on annual losses generated by the Group. During the 2020 financial year the Group's unissued shares under option and partly-paid shares were anti-dilutive. Basic profit/(loss) per share is calculated as net profit or loss attributable to members of the parent, 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 profit/(loss) per share is calculated as net profit or loss attributable to members of the parent, adjusted for: • • • costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends; the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and other non-discretionary changes in 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.

Current Trade receivables GST receivable Expected credit losses 2020 $ 36,575 225,120 2019 $ - 307,782 261,695 307,782 The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified model of recognising lifetime expected credit losses for all trade receivables as these items do not have a significant financing component. Where applicable, in measuring the expected credit losses, the trade receivables are assessed on a collective basis as they possess shared credit risk characteristics. They are grouped based on the days past due and also according to the geographical location of customers. The expected loss rates are based on the payment profile for past sales (where applicable) as well as the corresponding historical credit losses during that period. The historical rates are adjusted to reflect current and forwarding looking macroeconomic factors affecting the customer’s ability to settle the amount outstanding. Trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Failure to make payments within 180 days from the invoice date and failure to engage with the Group on alternative payment arrangement amongst others is considered indicators of no reasonable expectation of recovery.

The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, and appropriate proportion of production overheads. Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment. Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and are recognised net within “other income” in profit or loss. The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the assets employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts. Depreciation rates and methods are reviewed annually for appropriateness. The depreciation rates used for the current and comparative year are: 2020 $ Plant and equipment 33%-66% Motor vehicles 33%-66% 2019 $ 33%-66% 33%-66% The assets' residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end. 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 with the impairment loss recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. 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 profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised.

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: • • the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and at least one of the following conditions is also met: i) ii) 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 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 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. The Group’s exploration properties may be subjected to claim(s) under Native Title (or jurisdictional equivalent), or contain sacred sites, or sites of significance to the indigenous people of Australia. As a result, exploration properties or areas within the tenement may be subject to exploration restrictions, mining restrictions and/or claims for compensation. At this time, it is not possible to quantify whether such claims exist, or the quantum to such claims.

Trade payables, other payables and provisions are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months. Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income net of any reimbursement. Provisions are measured at the present value or management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting year. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre- tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. Short-term benefits: Liabilities for employee benefits for wages, salaries and annual leave that are expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date represent present obligations resulting from employees' services provided to the reporting date and are calculated at undiscounted amounts based on remuneration wage and salary rates that the Group expects to pay at the reporting date including related on-costs, such as workers compensation insurance and payroll tax.

This includes various directors, senior staff and consultants electing to take part of their pay in the form of Securities. The Company has invited directors senior staff and consultants electing to participate in a discretionary salary reduction in return for rights to acquire Shares (Share Rights) to be granted under the Employee Securities Incentive Plan (ESIP), whereby they may elect to accrue up to 50% of their salary (Reduced Amount) from 1 April to 30 June 2020. In return for their agreement to reduce their salary, the Company has agreed to grant each of the participant Share Rights under the ESIP. Each Share Right will entitle the holder to acquire one Share in the Company. The deemed issue price for the Share Rights is $0.28 each, which represents the VWAP for the month of April 2020 and which is the same deemed issue price of Shares issued to other unrelated staff and service providers of the Company. The Share Rights immediately vest on the grant date and expire 24 months from the grant date. The rationale for inviting the participants to participate in a discretionary salary reduction in return for Share Rights is to preserve cash within the Company, strengthen the Company's balance sheet, align directors' remuneration with the Company's and Shareholders' objectives, and to provide directors with an incentive to enhance Shareholder value.

The Group's financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, short-term investments, and accounts payable and receivable. The Group does not speculate in the trading of derivative instruments.

Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management The main risk the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk consisting of interest rate, foreign currency risk and equity price risk. The Board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. The Board adopts practices designed to identify significant areas of business risk and to effectively manage those risks in accordance with the Group's risk profile. This includes assessing, monitoring and managing risks for the Group and setting appropriate risk limits and controls. The Group is not of a size nor is its affairs of such complexity to justify the establishment of a formal system for risk management and associated controls. Instead, the Board approves all expenditure, is intimately acquainted with all operations and discuss all relevant issues at the Board meetings. The operational and other compliance risk management have also been assessed and found to be operating efficiently and effectively. i. Credit risk Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counterparties of contract obligations that could lead to a financial loss to the Group. The Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or group of receivables under financial instruments entered into by the Group. The objective of the Group is to minimise the risk of loss from credit risk. Although revenue from operations is minimal, the Group trades only with creditworthy third parties. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group's exposure to bad debts is insignificant. The Group's maximum credit risk exposure is limited to the carrying value of its financial assets as indicated on the statement of financial position. The Group establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade and other receivables. ◼ Credit risk exposures The maximum exposure to credit risk is that to its alliance partners and that is limited to the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements. Credit risk related to balances with banks and other financial institutions is managed by the Group in accordance with approved Board policy. Such policy requires that surplus funds are only invested with financial institutions residing in Australia, where ever possible. ◼ Impairment losses The ageing of the Group's trade and other receivables at reporting date was as follows: P a g e | 66 CALIDUS RESOURCES LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ABN 98 006 640 553 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020 Note 23 Financial risk management (continued) ANNUAL REPORT 30 June 2020 Gross 2020 $ 36,575 - - - - - 225,120 261,695 Impaired 2020 $ Past due but not impaired 2020 $ Net 2020 $ - - - - - - - - 36,575 - - - - - 240,206 276,781 - - - - - - - - Trade receivables Not past due Past due up to 15 days Past due 15 days to 3 months Past due over 3 months Less intra-Group balances Other receivables Not past due Total ii. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and ensuring sufficient cash and marketable securities are available to meet the current and future commitments of the Group. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's reputation. Typically the Group ensures that it has sufficient cash to meet expected operational expenses for a period of 60 days, including the servicing of financial obligations; this excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters.

All trade and other payables are non-interest bearing and due within 30 days of the reporting date. ◼ Contractual Maturities The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities of the Group: Within 1 Year Greater Than 1 Year 2020 $ 2019 $ 2020 $ 2019 $ Total 2020 $ 2019 $ Financial liabilities due for payment Trade and other payables Borrowings 1,338,107 - 1,876,611 - Total contractual outflows 1,338,107 1,876,611 Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Financial assets 5,690,661 261,695 1,362,119 4,145,369 307,782 1,275,245 Total anticipated inflows 7,314,475 5,728,396 Net (outflow)/inflow on financial instruments 5,976,368 3,851,785 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1,338,107 - 1,876,611 - 1,338,107 1,876,611 5,690,661 261,695 1,362,119 4,145,369 307,782 1,275,245 7,314,475 5,728,396 5,976,368 3,851,785 It is not expected that the cash flows included in the maturity analysis could occur significantly earlier or at significantly different amounts. iii. Market risk Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Group's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return. The Board meets on a regular basis and considers the Group's interest rate risk. (1) Interest rate risk Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at the end of the reporting year whereby a future change in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of fixed rate financial instruments. The Group is also exposed to earnings volatility on floating rate instruments. Due to the low amount of debt exposed to floating interest rates, interest rate risk is not considered a high risk to the Group. Movement in interest rates on the Group's financial liabilities and assets is not material. (2) Foreign exchange risk Exposure to foreign exchange risk may result in the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument fluctuating due to movement in foreign exchange rates of currencies in which the Group holds financial instruments which are other than the AUD functional currency of the Group. The Group has no material exposure to foreign exchange risk. (3) Price risk Price risk relates to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The Group holds a material amount (Pacton Gold Inc shares) subject to price risk.

Sensitivity Analyses ANNUAL REPORT 30 June 2020 The following table illustrates sensitivities to the Group's exposures to changes in interest rates. The table indicates the impact on how profit and equity values reported at balance sheet date would have been affected by changes in the relevant risk variable that management considers to be reasonably possible. These sensitivities assume that the movement in a particular variable is independent of other variables. (1) Interest rates Year ended 30 June 2020 ±50 basis points change in interest rates Year ended 30 June 2019 ±50 basis points change in interest rates (2) Price Year ended 30 June 2020 ±10% change in market price of shares Year ended 30 June 2019 ±10% change in market price of shares v. Net Fair Values (1) Fair value estimation Profit $ Equity $ ± 28,453 ± 28,453 ± 22,707 ± 22,707 Profit $ Equity $ ± 136,211 ± 136,211 ± 127,245 ± 127,245 Fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows: • • • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly Level 3: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability The Pacton Gold Inc shares valued at $1,362,119 are measured under level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, trade creditors, other creditors and employee entitlements have been excluded from the above analysis as their fair values are equal to their carrying values.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: i. ii. giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2020 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the “Code”) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

The value of the SBP is a key audit matter due to it being a key material transaction with members of key management and other personnel, the valuation of which involves significant judgement and accounting estimation. We therefore identified such expenses as a key area of focus. Our procedures included, amongst others: • Enquiring and obtaining confirmations from Key SBP regarding their Management Personnel remuneration during the period. • Reviewing minutes of directors and shareholder meetings and ASX announcements relating to the approval of such arrangements undertaken during the financial year. • Reviewing remuneration documents & assessing the valuation methodology used by management to estimate the fair value of SBP, including testing the information provided, assessing the integrity of appropriateness of the key assumptions input into the valuation model and recalculating the valuation using the Black Scholes Model. • Assessing whether the SBP have been appropriately financial the for in classified and accounted statements. We also assessed the adequacy of other related disclosures in the financial statements. Accounting for Capitalised Exploration & Evaluation Assets Refer to Note 11 Exploration & Evaluation Assets At 30 June 2020, the Group’s statement of financial position includes capitalised exploration and evaluation assets of approximately $24.3 million, representing the Group’s single largest asset or 75% of total assets. The ability to recognise and to continue to defer exploration and evaluation assets under AASB 6: Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resource is impacted by the Group’s ability, and intention, to continue to explore the tenements or its ability to realise this value through development or sale. Due to the significance of these assets and the subjectivity involved in assessing the ability to continue to defer these assets, this is considered a key audit matter. We addressed the Group’s assessment of the ability to continue to defer the exploration and evaluation assets under AASB 6 by specifically ensuring that: • the Group has the ongoing right to explore in the interests which relevant exploration areas of relevant and obtaining included documentation such as tenement registers (via Department of Mines WA) & other agreements. assessing • Tested a sample of exploration & evaluation to expenditures capitalised during supporting documentation. the year • the Group is committed to continue exploration and evaluation activity in the relevant exploration areas of interest including assessing their exploration and future development expenditures that have been and discussions with either budgeted management as to the intentions and strategy of the We also reviewed the Group’s ASX Group. announcements and the Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) report for the Warrawoona Gold Project. for • Assessing the carrying value of these assets for any in AASB 6) impairment (set out indicators of including comparing against the Company’s market capitalisation at balance date and the PFS valuation.

The other information comprises the information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
