During the past year we made solid progress across our project portfolio, despite various restrictions and precautions relating to COVID-19. Importantly, by the end of the period, exploration activities had returned to pre-pandemic levels. in Queensland, where Significant progress was achieved at the Briggs Copper Project the Company has outlined a Mineral Resource of 142.8Mt at 0.29% Cu at the Briggs Central deposit. Further drilling was completed during the year, along with a major soil sampling program, identifying extensive copper mineralisation at three areas (Northern, Central and Southern). Exploration Targets totalling 455Mt to 850Mt at 0.20% to 0.35% Cu were estimated for these areas and will be assessed in near term drilling programs. In parallel, additional metallurgical testwork was undertaken, confirming potential for excellent metallurgical recoveries from the Briggs copper mineralisation. (ASX: ALM) Activity at Briggs continues to be funded by Alma (formerly African Energy Metals Resources) which has exercised its option to commence an Earn-In Joint Venture, whereby it can earn up to 70% joint venture interest in the Project by sole-funding up to $15.25 million of assessment activity. In PNG, Canterbury has active projects at Bismarck (40%), Ekuti Range (100%) and Wamum (100%). concealed porphyry-style The Bismarck Project on Manus Island is prospective for copper-gold mineralisation adjacent to or below extensive zones of mapped advanced argillic altered lithocap. It is the subject of a Farm-In and Joint Venture with Rio Tinto Exploration (PNG) Limited which is earning a project interest by completing staged exploration programs. Field work is currently in progress around the Chiniwea, Dremsel and Tahi prospects, with the new data being integrated with existing mineralogical, geochemical and geophysical data to optimise design of potential drill targets. lodes are At Ekuti Range, we completed a soil sampling program assessing the limits of the narrow, high- grade Otibanda and Waikanda gold-copper lodes. laterally extensive, potentially These vertically extensive, and wide enough for underground mining. The Kainantu gold mine in PNG is an excellent analogue of a successful mining operation with similar geological and mining attributes. At the Wamum Project, Canterbury continued to gather and validate data to inform a high-level evaluation of a potential standalone operation based on the Idzan Creek (137.3Mt at 0.53g/t Au and 0.24% Cu) and Wamum Creek (141.5Mt at 0.18g/t Au and 0.31% Cu) deposits. Preliminary metallurgical testwork has provided encouraging copper and gold recoveries via conventional processing (crush-grind-flotation). Importantly, Wamum adjoins the major Wafi-Golpu copper-gold development project owned by Newcrest and Harmony Gold, where the joint venture partners are in the advanced stages of negotiating a Special Mining Lease with the PNG Government, ahead of a final investment decision. Development of the Wafi-Golpu project should create significant strategic benefits for Wamum. During the past year we also completed two transactions: the sale of our Vanuatu assets and acquisition of the Peenam project in Queensland. I wish to thank all our stakeholders, including joint venture partners, landowners, and shareholders, for their continuing support. We are anticipating strong news flow and exciting progress in the year ahead and I look forward to sharing our results with you. Yours sincerely, John Anderson Chairman 1 Annual Report 2022 3 Review of Operations INTRODUCTION Canterbury is a junior resource company that generates and explores potential Tier-1 copper- gold projects in proven mineral belts throughout the SW Pacific region. It has developed a strong portfolio of advanced exploration projects in Papua New Guinea and Queensland and has formed joint venture partnerships at two key projects to mitigate risk and defray cost. Canterbury is managed by an experienced team of resource professionals, with a strong track record of exploration success and mine development in the region. The Company has established significant mineral resources at three deposits: • • the Briggs copper deposit in Queensland, plus the Idzan Creek and Wamum Creek copper-gold deposits in PNG. In aggregate these deposits contain around 1.2Mt copper and 3.2Moz gold. Canterbury’s geologists have identified multiple opportunities to significantly expand these resources. Precautions and constraints relating to COVID-19 continued to impact field activities during the past year but had returned to normal levels by period end. QUEENSLAND Briggs, Mannersley, Fig Tree Hill & Don River Projects (CBY 100%, Rio Tinto 1.5% NSR, Alma Metals Earn-In ▲ JV rights) The Briggs, Mannersley, Fig Tree Hill and Don River tenements (CBY 100%) are in central Queensland, around 50km inland from the major industrial port of Gladstone. The tenements are prospective for porphyry related copper-gold mineralisation systems and include the Briggs Copper Project where Canterbury has delineated an Inferred Mineral Resource of 142.8Mt at 0.29% Cu at the Briggs Central deposit. The proximity of Briggs to Gladstone provides excellent access to infrastructure that is critical to any potential development, including grid power, gas pipelines, sealed roads, rail and a deep-water port. During the past year, Alma Metals (ASX ALM) sole funded further assessment of the Briggs Copper Project under an Option agreement, and at the end of the year they committed to enter an Earn-In Joint Venture. Activity included: • a 12-hole RC drilling program confirming extensive porphyry copper mineralisation up to 750m along strike from the existing mineral resource, • a grid-based soil sampling program providing high resolution, low detection level gold and multi- element geochemistry across the entire Briggs porphyry system, and • metallurgical test-work confirming potential for excellent metallurgical recoveries from the Briggs copper mineralisation. Significantly, the soil sampling over Briggs shows widespread anomalous copper at greater than 0.1% over three areas (Northern, Central and Southern), which is also confirmed by geological mapping and limited drilling. The Central area also contains the Central Porphyry Inferred Resource (143Mt at 0.29% Cu). 2 Annual Report 2022 3 Review of Operations Following these encouraging results, at year-end Alma Metals exercised its Option to enter an Earn-In Joint Venture whereby it now has the right to earn up to 70% interest in the project through staged exploration and expenditure totalling $15.25M. Immediate exploration plans are focussed on further diamond drilling of the Northern and Central prospects, where Exploration Targets have been estimated as illustrated below. The surface area of each Exploration Target is defined using the 0.1% copper in soils contour, which also corresponds well with lows in airborne magnetic data which are interpreted to represent areas of magnetite destruction caused by phyllic alteration directly related to mineralisation. ▲ Peenam (CBY 100%) Canterbury has completed its acquisition of EPM27756 (Peenam), located 150km northwest of Brisbane. The project is prospective for porphyry style Cu-Au-Mo mineralisation and bedrock sampling and mapping is proposed to inform future drill programs. 3 Annual Report 2022 3 Review of Operations PAPUA NEW GUINEA ▲ Wamum Project (CBY 100%) Wamum adjoins the western margin of the world-class Wafi-Golpu Project (Mineral Resources contain 26Moz gold, 8.6Mt copper), owned by Newcrest Mining and Harmony Gold, which is experiencing a protracted mine approvals process ahead of potential development. Canterbury’s Wamum tenement covers a series of copper-gold porphyry related prospects, including two significant deposits at Idzan Creek (137.3Mt at 0.53g/t Au and 0.24% Cu) and Wamum Creek (141.5Mt at 0.18g/t Au and 0.31% Cu) containing a combined 2.6Moz gold and 569kt copper. These deposits remain open and provide potential to support a standalone operation involving both open cut and underground mining components. Preliminary metallurgical testwork has been completed and confirms that encouraging copper and gold recoveries are achievable via conventional processing (crush-grind-flotation). ▲ Ekuti Range Project (CBY 100%) The Ekuti Range Project is ~20km west of Harmony Gold’s Hidden Valley gold mine, ~50km south of Wafi-Golpu and ~60km south of Wamum. Canterbury has been exploring the region since 2014 and has undertaken multiple programs. Two related styles of mineralisation are evident: narrow, high grade epithermal gold-copper lodes (e.g., Otibanda) and large- scale porphyry copper-molybdenum-gold systems (e.g., Yalua). Recent activity has focussed on assessing potential extensions to the narrow, high-grade Otibanda, Waikanda and Ekoato Au-Cu lodes. A soil sampling program has been completed and the results are being integrated with historical drilling and surface sampling data to inform the design of future drilling programs. ▲ Bismarck Project (CBY 40%, Rio Tinto 60%) The Bismarck Project is currently sole-funded by Rio Tinto Exploration (PNG) Limited under a Farm-In and Joint Venture Agreement. The Project is considered prospective for concealed porphyry-style copper-gold- molybdenum mineralisation adjacent to or below extensive zones of mapped advanced argillic altered lithocap. During 2022 Rio Tinto personnel completed a re-analysis of available data, redefining the extent of the lithocap and examined the veracity of historic anomalous geochemistry and mineralogical associations identified in proximity to the lithocap and previously identified geophysical drill targets. 4 Annual Report 2022 3 Review of Operations Following the 2022 review, the joint venture partners have commenced a program of regional drainage sampling below the elevated terrain of the lithocap to validate historical geochemistry and for mineralogical associations related to proximal porphyry alteration types. In addition, geological mapping and sampling is being undertaken, traversing high priority creeks with anomalous geochemistry and mineralogy at the Chiniwea, Dremsel and Tahi prospects to search for porphyritic intrusions, porphyry related mineralisation, alteration, and veining. search The data generated this program will be from integrated with existing mapping plus mineralogical, geochemical and geophysical data to optimise design of potential future drill targets. Copper rich hydrothermal breccia, Chiniwea Creek OUTLOOK Canterbury is ramping up its field activities. In Queensland, a high-impact drilling program has commenced at the Briggs Copper Project, testing very large-scale exploration targets outlined during the past year. This program has potential to significantly increase and enhance the existing resources. Funding for the program is being provided by Alma Metals (ASX ALM) under a joint venture structure that underpins project funding for the foreseeable future. In PNG, further mapping and sampling is in progress at the Bismarck Project around the Chiniwea, Dremsel and Tahi prospects. The results will be used to optimise the design of potential future drill programs targeting concealed porphyry-style copper-gold-molybdenum mineralisation. Activity continues to be funded by joint venture partner, Rio Tinto. Following the recent PNG National elections, we are monitoring progress of the licensing process for the Tier-1 Wafi-Golpu copper-gold project, given its strategic proximity to the Wamum Project. Elsewhere, assessment activities on our 100% owned projects are continuing, aimed at generating additional attractive copper-gold drill targets. Joint venture partnerships will be sought as projects transition into the drilling phase.

The group primarily targets prospects with potential to host large-scale copper and/or gold deposits. There were no significant changes in the group’s activities during the period. Financial result The consolidated loss of the group after providing for income tax for the year ended 30 June 2022 was $1,795,267 (2021: loss $1,311,928). The net assets of the group decreased by $436,271 from $11,668,041 at 30 June 2021 to $11,231,770 at 30 June 2022, primarily due to the group’s loss for the year of $1,795,267 offset by an increase in issued capital of $1,270,000. Dividends There were no dividends paid or declared for the period ended 30 June 2022 (2021: nil). The directors have not made any recommendations for payment of dividends in respect of the financial year. Significant changes in the state of affairs On 1 December 2021, the group acquired 100% of the share capital of Neillkins Mining Pty Ltd, which holds EPM 27756 covering the Peenam Project in Queensland, located about 150km northwest of Brisbane. The Peenam Project has potential for the discovery of large-scale Cu-Au porphyry deposits. On 31 December 2021, the group acquired a 1.95% shareholding in New Talisman Gold Mines Limited, an entity listed on the Australian Stock Exchange and the New Zealand Stock Exchange. This is an investment arising out of the sale of Capella Vanuatu Limited. Other than as noted above, there were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the group during the reporting period. Review of operations During the year Canterbury continued to explore large-scale porphyry copper-gold prospects throughout the SW Pacific region. The group made meaningful assessment progress, despite ongoing precautions and restrictions associated with COVID-19. Significant advances were achieved at the Briggs Copper Project in Queensland, where the Company has previously outlined a Mineral Resource of 142.8Mt at 0.29% Cu at the Central Porphyry deposit. A further round of drilling was completed during the year along with a major soil sampling program, identifying extensive copper mineralisation at greater than 0.1% at three areas (Northern, Central and Southern). Exploration targets totalling 455Mt to 850Mt at 0.20% to 0.35% Cu have been estimated for these areas and will be assessed in planned future drilling programs. In parallel, additional metallurgical testwork was undertaken, confirming potential for excellent metallurgical recoveries the Briggs copper mineralisation. from Activity at Briggs continues to be funded by Alma Metals (ASX: ALM) (formerly Africa Energy Resources) which has exercised its option to commence an Earn-In Joint Venture, whereby it can earn up to 70% joint venture interest in the Briggs Copper Project by sole-funding up to $15.25 million of assessment activity. In PNG, the group has three active projects at Bismarck (40%), Ekuti Range (100%) and Wamum (100%). 11 Canterbury Resources Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 59 152 189 369 Directors’ report Review of operations (cont’d) The Bismarck Project on Manus Island is the subject of a Farm-In and Joint Venture with Rio Tinto Exploration (PNG) Limited which is earning a project interest by completing staged exploration programs. Surface sampling and mapping programs are continuing, focussed on the Dremsel and Tahi prospects, targeting porphyry related mineralisation, alteration and veining. The results from this work are informing potential future drilling programs. At Ekuti Range, soil sampling has been completed assessing potential extensions to the narrow, high-grade Otibanda, Waikanda and Ekoato Au-Cu lodes. The results are being integrated with historical drilling and surface sampling data to inform the design of future drilling programs. At the Wamum Project, Canterbury has outlined significant resources at the Idzan Creek (137.3Mt at 0.53g/t Au and 0.24% Cu) and Wamum Creek (141.5Mt at 0.18g/t Au and 0.31% Cu) deposits. These deposits remain open and provide potential to support a standalone operation involving both open-cut and underground mining components. Preliminary metallurgical testwork confirms that encouraging copper and gold recoveries are achievable via conventional processing (crush-grind-flotation). Commitments for expenditure In order to maintain the group’s tenements in good standing with the relevant authorities, the group incurs exploration expenditure under the terms of each licence. The indicative minimum exploration expenditure requirement for FY23 is approximately $2.1 million, of which approximately $1.8 million is covered by JV partners. This is a pro rata estimate, based on annualised licence terms, converted to AUD at current exchange rates.

Under the agreement, Alma can earn up to 70% interest in the project through staged exploration and expenditure totalling $15.25M. On 1 August 2022, Canterbury launched a Share Purchase Plan (SPP) for shareholders registered as at 22 July 2022, to raise additional capital. The SPP provides the shareholders listed on Canterbury’s register on 22 July 2022 with an opportunity to subscribe for a minimum of $1,000 and a maximum of $30,000 worth of fully-paid ordinary shares at $0.04 per share. 12 Canterbury Resources Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 59 152 189 369 Directors’ report Climate change The group’s exploration activities are assessed as having relatively low energy intensity and produce low exposure to climate change risks related to the transition to a lower carbon economy. Exploration activities may be carried out at sites that are vulnerable to physical climate impacts. Extreme weather events have the potential to damage infrastructure and disrupt or delay field activities. The group is adapting its site-specific operating plans to ensure that this risk factor is considered. Environmental regulation The Manager-Exploration reports to the Board on all significant safety, health and environmental incidents. The Board also has a Risk Committee which has oversight of the safety, health and environmental performance of the group. The activities of the group are subject to environmental regulation under the jurisdiction of the countries in which those activities are conducted, including Australia and Papua New Guinea. Each tenement is subject to environmental regulation as part of its granting. Each site is also required to manage its environmental obligations in accordance with group policies. The group has internal reporting systems. Environmental incidents are reported and assessed according to their environmental consequence and environmental authorities are notified where required and remedial action is undertaken. The Board believes that the group has adequate systems in place for the management of its environmental requirements and is not aware of any breach of these environmental requirements as they apply to the group. Remuneration of key management personnel Information about the remuneration of key management personnel is set out in the remuneration report section of this directors’ report. The term ‘key management personnel’ refers to those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the consolidated entity, directly or indirectly, including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of the group. Share options granted to directors and senior management During the year, there were 1,500,000 options issued to the directors or senior management. Remuneration report (audited) This remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2022 outlies the remuneration arrangement of the group and the group in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 (the “Act”) and its regulations.

The framework aligns executive reward with achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value for shareholders. The Board believes that executive remuneration satisfies the following key criteria: · · · · · competitiveness and reasonableness acceptability to shareholders performance linkage/alignment of executive compensation transparency capital management. These criteria result in a framework which can be used to provide a mix of fixed and variable remuneration, and a blend of short and long-term incentives in line with the group’s limited financial resources. Fees and payments to the group’s non-executive directors and senior executives reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of, the directors and senior management. Such fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Board. The group’s executive and non-executive directors, senior executives and officers are entitled to receive options under the group’s employee share option scheme. Relationship between the remuneration policy and company performance The tables below set out summary information about the group’s earnings and movements in shareholder wealth for the five years to June 2022. As the table indicates, earnings have varied significantly over the past five financial years, due to the nature of activities.

General information Canterbury Resources Limited (“the company”) is a public company incorporated in Australia. The address of its registered office and principal place of business is as follows: Suite 301 55 Miller Street Pyrmont NSW 2009 The principal activity of the group is participation in mineral exploration projects, with tenements currently held in Queensland and Papua New Guinea. The group primarily targets prospects with potential to host large scale copper and/or gold deposits. These consolidated financial statements and notes represent the company and its controlled entities (“the group”). 2. Significant accounting policies Statement of compliance The financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and Interpretations, and comply with other requirements of the law. Accounting Standards include Australian Accounting Standards (‘AAS’). Compliance with AAS ensures that the financial statements and notes of the group comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’). The financial statements comprise the consolidated financial statements of the group. For the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the group is a for-profit entity. The financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 23 September 2022. Basis of preparation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for certain non-current assets and financial instruments that are measured at revalued amounts or fair values, as explained in the accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the group considers the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these consolidated financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for share- based payment transactions that are within the scope of AASB 2 ‘Share-based payments’, leasing transactions that are within the scope of AASB 16 ‘Leases’, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as value in use in AASB 136 ‘Impairment of Assets’. 24 Canterbury Resources Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 59 152 189 369 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d) Basis of preparation (cont’d) Rounding off of amounts The group is of the kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financials/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191, dated 24 March 2016, and in accordance with that Corporations Instrument amounts in the consolidated financial statements are rounded off to the nearest dollar unless otherwise indicated. The principal accounting policies are set out below. (a) Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the company and the entities controlled by the company (its subsidiaries) up to 30 June each year. Control is achieved when the company: (cid:127) (cid:127) (cid:127) has the power over the investee; is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and has the ability to use its power to affects its returns. The company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above. When the company has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it considers that it has power over the investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the company’s voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power, including: (cid:127) (cid:127) (cid:127) (cid:127) the size of the company’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders; potential voting rights held by the company, other vote holders or other parties; rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the company has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholders’ meetings. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the company loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, the results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in profit or loss from the date the company gains control until the date when the company ceases to control the subsidiary. Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the company. Total comprehensive income of the subsidiaries is also attributed to the owners of the company. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used into line with the group’s accounting policies. All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between the members of the group are eliminated on consolidation. 25 Canterbury Resources Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 59 152 189 369 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d) (b) Business combinations Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of assets transferred by the group, liabilities incurred by the group to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity instruments issued by the group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their fair value, except that: · · · deferred tax assets or liabilities and assets or liabilities related to employee benefit arrangements are recognised and measured in accordance with AASB 112 ‘Income Taxes’ and AASB 119 ‘Employee Benefits’ respectively; liabilities or equity instruments related to share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree or share- based payment arrangements of the group entered into to replace share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree are measured in accordance with AASB 2 ‘Share-based Payment’ at the acquisition date; and assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with AASB 5 ‘Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations’ are measured in accordance with that Standard. Where the consideration transferred by the group in a business combination includes assets or liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with corresponding adjustments against goodwill. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the ‘measurement period’ (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date. (c) Revenue recognition Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the group expects to be entitled in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The group recognises revenue when it transfers control of a service to a customer. Support services The group recognises operating revenue from the provision of support services. Such services are recognised as a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time. (d) Government grants JobKeeper subsidy In response to the global pandemic COVID-19, the Australian Government offered a financial stimulus for not for profit organisations and other organisations, such as JobKeeper Payment. The payment is made to the employer and administered through the tax system and is not subject to GST. The group received this payment and recognised the income in the period in which the related expenses were incurred. The JobKeeper Payment scheme ended on 28 March 2021, and therefore no payments were received in the year ended 30 June 2022. 26 Canterbury Resources Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 59 152 189 369 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d) (e) Leases The group as lessee The group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of the contract. The group recognises a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low value assets. For these leases, the group recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased assets are consumed. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the group uses its incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise: (cid:127) (cid:127) (cid:127) Fixed lease payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable; Variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date; The amount expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees. The lease liability is presented as a separate line in the consolidated statement of financial position. The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using the effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made. The group remeasures the lease liability (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of- use asset) whenever: (cid:127) (cid:127) (cid:127) The lease term has changed or there is a significant event or change in circumstances resulting in a change in the assessment of exercise of a purchase option, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate. The lease payments change due to changes in an index or rate or a change in expected payment under a guaranteed residual value, in which cases the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using an unchanged discount rate (unless the lease payments change is due to a change in a floating interest rate, in which case a revised discount rate is used). A lease contract is modified and the lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease, in which case the lease liability is remeasured based on the lease term of the modified lease by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate at the effective date of the modification. The group did not make any such adjustments during the periods presented. The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at or before the commencement day, less any lease incentives received and any initial direct costs. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Whenever the group incurs an obligation for costs to dismantle and remove a leased asset, restore the site on which it is located or restore the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease, a provision is recognised and measured under AASB 137. To the extent that the costs relate to a right-of-use asset, the costs are included in the related right-of-use asset. Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter period of lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. If a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the group expects to exercise a purchase option, the related right-of-use asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. The depreciation starts at the commencement date of the lease. The right-of-use assets are presented as a separate line in the consolidated statement of financial position. The group applies AASB 136 to determine whether a right-of-use asset is impaired and accounts for any identified impairment loss as described in the ‘Property, plant and equipment’ policy (as outlined in the financial report for the annual reporting period. 27 Canterbury Resources Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 59 152 189 369 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d) (e) Leases (cont’d) Variable rents that do not depend on an index or rate are not included in the measurement of the lease liability and the right-of-use asset. The related payments are recognised as an expense in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs and are included in the line “Other expenses” in profit or loss. As a practical expedient, AASB 16 permits a lessee not to separate non-lease components, and instead account for any lease and associated non-lease components as a single arrangement. The group has not used this practical expedient. For contracts that contain a lease component and one or more additional lease or non-lease components, the group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components. (f) Taxation The company is part of a tax-consolidated group under Australian taxation law, of which Canterbury Resources Limited is the head entity. As a result, Canterbury Resources Limited is subject to income tax through its membership of the tax-consolidated group. The consolidated current and deferred tax amounts for the tax- consolidated group are allocated to the members of the tax-consolidated group using the ‘separate taxpayer within group’ approach, with deferred taxes being allocated by reference to the carrying amounts in the financial statements of each member entity and the tax values applying under tax consolidation. Current tax liabilities and assets and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and relevant tax credits arising from this allocation process are then accounted for as immediately assumed by the head entity, as under Australian taxation law the head entity has the legal obligation (or right) to these amounts. Current tax The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit before tax as reported in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The group‘s current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. In addition, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, except where the group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future. 28 Canterbury Resources Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 59 152 189 369 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d) (f) Taxation (cont’d) The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. Current and deferred tax for the year Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination. (g) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less which are convertible to a known amount of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of change in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position. (h) Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives, using the diminishing value method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis. Depreciation is calculated on a diminishing value basis so as to write off the cost or revalued amount of each fixed asset over its estimated useful life, as follows to its estimated residual value. Class of property, plant and equipment Plant and equipment Website development costs Computer hardware Motor vehicles Right of use assets Depreciation rate 15% 25% 33.33% 25% Useful life or shorter of lease term 29 Canterbury Resources Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 59 152 189 369 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d) (h) Property, plant and equipment (cont’d) Depreciation rates and methods shall be reviewed at least annually and, where changed, shall be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate. Where depreciation rates or methods are changed, the net written down value of the asset is depreciated from the date of the change in accordance with the new depreciation rate or method. Depreciation recognised in prior financial years shall not be changed, that is, the change in depreciation rate or method shall be accounted for on a ‘prospective’ basis. The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss. (i) Exploration and development expenditure Exploration, evaluation and development expenditures incurred are capitalised in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only capitalised to the extent that they are expected to be recovered through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves. Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit or loss in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made. When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves. A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to capitalise costs in relation to that area. Costs of site restoration are provided for over the life of the project from when exploration commences and are included in the costs of that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plant, equipment and building structures, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with local laws and regulations and clauses of the permits. Such costs have been determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and technology on an undiscounted basis. Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted for on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations and future legalisation. Accordingly, the costs have been determined on the basis that the restoration will be completed within one year of abandoning the site. (j) Impairment of assets (excluding goodwill) At the end of each reporting period, the group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified. 30 Canterbury Resources Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 59 152 189 369 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d) (j) Impairment of assets (excluding goodwill) (cont’d) Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal 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 for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease. When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so 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 (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase. (k) Goodwill Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortised but is reviewed for impairment at least annually. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the group’s cash-generating units (or groups of cash-generating units) expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period. On disposal of a cash-generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal. (l) Financial instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss. 31 Canterbury Resources Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 59 152 189 369 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d) (l) Financial instruments (cont’d) Financial assets All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace. All recognised financial assets are measured subsequently in their entirety at either amortised cost. Classification of financial assets Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are measured subsequently at amortised cost: (cid:127) (cid:127) the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The group’s financial assets at amortised cost includes trade receivables. Amortised cost and effective interest method For financial assets other than purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets (i.e. assets that are credit-impaired on initial recognition), the effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) excluding expected credit losses, through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the gross carrying amount of the debt instrument on initial recognition. For purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, a credit-adjusted effective interest rate is calculated by discounting the estimated future cash flows, including expected credit losses, to the amortised cost of the debt instrument on initial recognition. The amortised cost of a financial asset is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition minus the principal repayments, plus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount, adjusted for any loss allowance. The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is the amortised cost of a financial asset before adjusting for any loss allowance. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. Impairment of financial assets The group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on trade receivables. The amount of expected credit losses is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective financial instrument. The group always recognises lifetime expected credit losses (ECL) for trade receivables. The expected credit losses on these financial assets are estimated using a provision matrix based on the group’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date, including time value of money where appropriate. Lifetime ECL represents the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. 32 Canterbury Resources Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 59 152 189 369 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d) (l) Financial instruments (cont’d) Financial assets (cont’d) Measurement and recognition of expected credit losses The measurement of expected credit losses is a function of the probability of default, loss given default (i.e. the magnitude of the loss if there is a default) and the exposure at default. The assessment of the probability of default and loss given default is based on historical data adjusted by forward-looking information as described above. As for the exposure at default, for financial assets, this is represented by the assets’ gross carrying amount at the reporting date; for financial guarantee contracts, the exposure includes the amount drawn down as at the reporting date, together with any additional amounts expected to be drawn down in the future by default date determined based on historical trend, the entity’s understanding of the specific future financing needs of the debtors, and other relevant forward-looking information. For financial assets, the expected credit loss is estimated as the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the group in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the group expects to receive, discounted at the original effective interest rate. If the group has measured the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to lifetime ECL in the previous reporting period, but determines at the current reporting date that the conditions for lifetime ECL are no longer met, the entity measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to 12-month ECL at the current reporting date, except for assets for which simplified approach was used. The group recognises an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account. Derecognition of financial assets The entity derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the entity neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the entity recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the entity retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the entity continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received. On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss. Financial liabilities Financial liabilities, including trade and other payables, are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs. All financial liabilities are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Derecognition The group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss. 33 Canterbury Resources Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 59 152 189 369 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d) (m) Goods and Services Tax Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except: i. where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense; or ii. for receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables. Cash flows are included in the consolidated statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified within operating cash flows. (n) Foreign currencies For the purpose of the consolidated financial statements, the results and financial position of the group are expressed in Australian dollars (‘$’), which is the functional currency of the company and the presentation currency for the consolidated financial statements. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the group’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognised at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Nonmonetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Exchange differences on monetary items are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. For the purpose of presenting these consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the group’s foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuated significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity. (o) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle that obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material). When some or all the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably. 34 Canterbury Resources Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 59 152 189 369 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d) (p) Short-term and other long-term employee benefits A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and long service leave in the period the related service is rendered at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service. Liabilities recognised in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service. Liabilities recognised in respect of other long-term employee benefits are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows expected to be made by the Group in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date (q) Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty In the application of the group’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. Key sources of estimation uncertainty The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. Useful lives of property, plant and equipment As described in (h) above, the group reviews the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment at the end of each reporting period. Impairment testing Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually or whenever certain triggering events or circumstances, that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount, are identified. Events or circumstances that might indicate an interim evaluation is warranted include, among other things, unexpected adverse business conditions, macro and reporting unit specific economic factors (for example, interest rate and foreign exchange rate fluctuations, and loss of key personnel), supply costs, unanticipated competitive activities, and acts by governments and courts. Capitalised exploration and development expenditure Exploration, evaluation and development expenditures incurred are only capitalised to the extent that they are expected to be recovered through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves. A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to capitalise costs in relation to that area. 35 Canterbury Resources Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 59 152 189 369 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d) (q) Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty (cont’d) Key sources of estimation uncertainty (cont’d) Deferred tax assets Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences as it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences. Further, the company has determined that it is not probable that it will derive sufficient taxable income in the near future to recover the tax losses and as a result they have not been recognised as deferred tax assets in the 2022 financial period. Provision for rehabilitation Costs of site restoration have been determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and technology on an undiscounted basis. Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted for on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations and future legalisation. (r) Share-based payments Employee share option plan The group operates an employee share option for employees and contractors of the group. In accordance with the provisions of the plan, employees may be granted options to purchase parcels of ordinary shares at specified exercise prices. Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. The fair value excludes the effect of non-market-based vesting conditions. The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the group’s estimate of the number of equity instruments that will eventually vest. At each reporting date, the group revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest as a result of the effect of non-market-based vesting conditions. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to reserves. Equity-settled share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received, except where that fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which case they are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted, measured at the date the entity obtains the goods or the counterparty renders the service. Each employee share option converts into one ordinary share of the group on exercise. No amounts are paid or payable by the recipient on receipt of the option. The options carry neither rights to dividends nor voting rights. Options may be exercised at any time from the date of vesting to the date of their expiry. (s) Interests in joint operations A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. 36 Canterbury Resources Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 59 152 189 369 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d) (s) Interests in joint operations (cont’d) When a group entity undertakes its activities under joint operations, the group as a joint operator recognises in relation to its interest in a joint operation: (cid:127) its assets, including its share of any assets held jointly; (cid:127) its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly; (cid:127) its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation; (cid:127) its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation; and (cid:127) its expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly. The group accounts for the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses relating to its interest in a joint operation in accordance with the IFRS Standards applicable to the particular assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. When a group entity transacts with a joint operation in which a group entity is a joint operator (such as a sale or contribution of assets), the group is considered to be conducting the transaction with the other parties to the joint operation, and gains and losses resulting from the transactions are recognised in the group’s consolidated financial statements only to the extent of other parties’ interests in the joint operation. When a group entity transacts with a joint operation in which a group entity is a joint operator (such as a purchase of assets), the group does not recognise its share of the gains and losses until it resells those assets to a third party. (t) Going concern The consolidated net loss of the group, after tax was $1,795,267 for the year ended 30 June 2022 (2021: loss $1,311,928), with cash outflows from operating activities of $932,346 (2021: cash outflow $814,719); and a working capital surplus of $177,635 (2021: working capital surplus of $715,278). Despite the impact of COVID-19, the directors believe the group is a going concern. This financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The directors are aware of the fact that future development and administration activities are constrained by available cash assets and believe future identified cash flows are sufficient to fund the short-term working capital and forecasted exploration requirements of the group. On 25 July 2022, the Company announced a share purchase plan (SPP) for eligible shareholders at an issue price of $0.04 per share aimed at raising $1 million. The SPP is scheduled to close on 28 September 2022 and the Company has reserved the right to accept oversubscriptions or to undertake placements to cover any shortfall. During the next twelve months there is substantial exploration activity planned to advance the company’s tenement assets, and the directors note that will be largely funded by joint venture partners. Furthermore, The Company expects to generate fee income in relation to the management of some of these planned activities, that will further assist in funding the company’s operations. The directors have reached the conclusion that based on all available facts and information currently available, there are reasonable grounds to believe that the group will be able to pay its debts as an when they become due and payable and is a going concern. The group has a cash balance of $250,139 as of the date of this report to meet its expenses over the next twelve months. 37 Canterbury Resources Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 59 152 189 369 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 (u) Operating segments Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM).

Except as described below, there has been no material impact of these changes on the group's accounting policies Other pronouncements adopted for the first time in the current period AASB 2020-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2 Amends AASB 4 Insurance Contracts, AASB 9 Financial Instruments, AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures and AASB 16 Leases to address issues that may affect financial reporting during interest rate benchmark reform, including the effect of changes to contractual cash flows or hedging relationships resulting from the replacement of an interest rate benchmark with an alternative benchmark rate. AASB 2020-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions and AASB 2021-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions beyond 30 June 2021 AASB 2020-4 amends AASB 16 Leases to: Provide lessees with a practical expedient that relieves a lessee from assessing whether a (cid:127) (cid:127) COVID-19-related rent concession is a lease modification (cid:127) Require lessees that apply the practical expedient to account for COVID-19-related rent concessions as if they were not lease modifications (cid:127) Require lessees that apply the practical expedient to disclose whether the practical expedient has been applied to all eligible contracts, or, if not, information about the nature of the contracts to which the practical expedient has been applied (cid:127) Require lessees to apply the practical expedient retrospectively, recognising the cumulative effect of applying the amendment as an adjustment to the opening retained earnings (or other component of equity, as appropriate) at the beginning of the annual reporting period in which the lessee first applies the amendment. AASB 2021-3 extends the relief by one year to cover rent concessions that reduce only lease payments due on or before 30 June 2022. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2021 but earlier application is permitted, including in financial statements not authorised for issue at 31 March 2021. A lessee: (cid:127) That has already applied the practical expedient (in AASB 2020-4) must apply the extended scope of the expedient (in AASB 2021-3) to eligible contracts with similar characteristics and in similar circumstances 38 Canterbury Resources Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 59 152 189 369 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d) (v) Adoption of new and revised Accounting Standards (cont’d) (cid:127) May not elect to apply the practical expedient if the lessee has previously elected not to apply it to eligible (cid:127) rent concessions That has not established an accounting policy on applying (or not applying) the practical expedient to eligible rent concessions can still decide to apply the practical expedient. However, such a lessee would be required to do so retrospectively and consistently to eligible contracts with similar characteristics and in similar circumstances Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet effective At the date of authorisation of the financial statements, the Standards and Interpretations that were issued but not yet effective are listed below: Standard/Interpretation AASB 2020-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non- current and AASB 2020-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current - Deferral of Effective Date AASB 2020-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Annual Improvements 2018-2020 and Other Amendments AASB 2021-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosure of Accounting Policies and Definition of Accounting Estimates AASB 2021-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction Effective for annual periods reporting beginning on or after to Expected be initially applied in the financial year ending 1 January 2023 31 December 2023 1 January 2022 31 December 2022 1 January 2023 31 December 2023 1 January 2023 31 December 2023 Pronouncements issued by the IASB or IFRS Interpretations Committee where an equivalent pronouncement has not been issued by the AASB The table below outlines pronouncements made by the IASB or IFRS Interpretations Committee, where an equivalent pronouncement has not yet been made by the AASB at the date of this publication but is expected to be issued in due course.

Significant accounting policies (cont’d) (w) Comparative figures Prior year figures have been adjusted where appropriate to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year and enhance comparability. Change in accounting policy - reclassification of intangible assets (goodwill) to exploration and development expenditure During the current financial year, the group changed its accounting policy covering the acquisition of any entities that hold a mining exploration lease(s). In such cases, where the mining exploration lease is the primary asset of the acquired entity, any premium paid over the net assets of the entity should be recorded as capitalised exploration costs to reflect the value of prior exploration works acquired. This policy is consistent with generally accepted accounting practices. In compliance with this change in policy, the group adjusted the prior period acquisition transaction of Finny Limited, whereby the value of goodwill on acquisition (being $2,735,758) was adjusted in the consolidated financial statements and recorded as capitalised exploration and development expenditure as at 1 July 2020. The impact to the relevant line items in the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021 was: Assets Non-current assets Intangible assets Exploration and evaluation expenditure Assets Non-current assets Intangible assets Exploration and evaluation expenditure 30 June 2021 (As previously presented) $ Adjustment 30 June 2021 $ (Restated) $ 2,735,758 8,170,955 (2,735,758) 2,735,758 - 10,906,713 1 July 2020 (As previously presented) $ Adjustment 1 July 2020 $ (Restated) $ 2,736,145 8,163,919 (2,736,145) 2,736,145 - 10,900,064 There is no impact to the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity or consolidated statement of cash flows. 40 Canterbury Resources Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 59 152 189 369 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 3.

Operating segments Identification of three reportable operating segments The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) has restructured the reporting structures into 2 reportable segments representing business operating segments for management, reporting and allocation of resources purposes. Operating segments have been identified based on financial information that is regularly reviewed by the CODM. The group aggregates two or more operating segments into a single reportable operating segment when the group has assessed and determined the aggregated operating segments share similar economic and geographical characteristics. The group has the following reportable segments: ● Papua New Guinea ● Australia The performance of each segment forms the basis of all reporting to the CODM. The steering committee primarily uses Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) to assess the performance of a segment. It will also review the assets and working capital of each segment on a regular basis. The accounting policies adopted for internal reporting to the CODM are consistent with those adopted in the financial statements. In reporting the EBIT to the steering committee, results for the normal operations of the segment separately show reporting of non-recurring events. 51 Canterbury Resources Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 59 152 189 369 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 28. Operating segments (cont’d) Accounting policy for operating segments Operating segments are presented using the 'management approach', where the information presented is on the same basis as the internal reports provided to the CODM. The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance. 2022 Revenue Other revenue Administration expense Corporate costs Depreciation and amortisation expense Employee benefits expense Share-based payment expense Other expenses Impairment of capitalised expenditure EBIT Finance income Finance expense Loss before income tax Income tax Loss for the year Assets Segment assets (a) Total assets Liabilities Segment liabilities Total liabilities (a) Segment assets Papua New Guinea $ Australia $ Total $ - 7,000 (19,927) (1,302) - - - (8,640) (601,688) (624,557) - - (624,557) - (624,557) - 232,713 (191,529) (299,453) (28,133) (661,063) (88,996) (131,614) - (1,168,075) - (2,635) (1,170,710) - (1,170,710) - 239,713 (211,456) (300,755) (28,133) (661,063) (88,996) (140,254) (601,688) (1,792,632) - (2,635) (1,795,267) - (1,795,267) 8,301,039 8,301,039 3,175,333 3,175,333 11,476,372 11,476,372 7,089 7,089 237,513 237,513 244,602 244,602 Segment assets are measured in the same way as in the financial statements.

Employee share option plan The group operates an employee share option plan for employees and contractors of the group. In accordance with the provisions of the plan, employees may be granted options to purchase parcels of ordinary shares at specified exercise prices. Each employee share option converts into one ordinary share of the group on exercise. No amounts are paid or payable by the recipient on receipt of the option. The options carry neither rights to dividends nor voting rights. Options may be exercised at any time from the date of vesting to the date of their expiry. The options granted expire on their expiry date, or one month after the resignation of the employee, whichever is earlier. Terms and conditions of share-based payment arrangements affecting remuneration of key management personnel in the current financial year or future financial years: Options Series Grant date Exercise price Expiry date Vesting date CBY07 CBY09 23/09/2020 10/09/2021 $0.25 $0.20 30/06/2023 30/06/2024 23/09/2020 10/09/2021 These options were valued based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the value of the options was assessed using the annual volatility of returns on the shares over a period of time. The table below summarises the total options movement for the year, including ESOP and non-ESOP: Status* ESOP (unlisted) At beginning of period Granted during period Forfeited during period At end of period 2,400,000 2,000,000 1,350,000 3,050,000 Non-ESOP (unlisted) - 3,000,000 - 3,000,000 Total 2,400,000 5,000,000 1,350,000 6,050,000 *Irrespective of any restrictions applicable to those options under ASX requirements. The options outstanding at 30 June 2022 had a weighted average exercise price of $0.25 and $0.20, and a weighted average remaining contractual life of 2.77 years and 2.81 years respectively. In 2022, options were granted on 10 September 2021. The aggregate of the estimated fair values of the options granted on this date is $88,996. No options were exercised during the period. The inputs into the Black-Scholes model are as follows: Weighted average share price Weighted average exercise price Expected volatility Expected life Risk-free rate 2022 $ 0.0445 0.20 88.76% 2.81 years 0.019% 2021 $ 0.145 0.25 107.75% 2.77 years 1.086% Expected volatility was determined by calculating the historical volatility of the group’s share price over the previous 1.5 years. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions, and behavioural considerations. 54 Canterbury Resources Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 59 152 189 369 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 30. Financial instruments Capital management The group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the group will be able to continue as going concerns while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of its equity balance. In managing its capital, the group's primary objective is to ensure its continued ability to maintain its operations and provide a platform to enable a return for its equity shareholders to be made when successful commercial operations are achieved. In order to achieve this objective, the group seeks to maximise its fund raising to provide sufficient funding to enable the group to meet its working capital and strategic investment needs. In making decisions to adjust its capital structure to achieve these aims, either through new share issues, or reduction of debt, the group considers not only its short-term position but also its long-term operational and strategic objectives. The group’s overall strategy remains unchanged from 2021. The capital structure of the group consists of cash and bank balances (note 22) and equity of the group (comprising issued capital, reserves and accumulated losses as detailed in notes 16 to 18). The group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. (a) Market risk The group‘s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in interest rates and foreign currency. There has been no change to the group‘s exposure to market risks or the manner in which these risks are managed and measured. (i) Interest rate risk management The group‘s exposure to interest rate risk and the effective weighted average interest rate for classes of financial assets and financial liabilities is set out below: 2022 Financial assets Cash Trade and other receivables Total assets Financial liabilities Trade and other payables Total liabilities Weighted average interest rate % Floating interest amount $ Fixed maturing in 1 yr to 5 yrs $ Non- interest bearing $ Total $ 0.00 0.00 0.00 - - - - - - - - - - 362,795 6,846 369,641 362,795 6,846 369,641 125,828 125,828 125,828 125,828 55 Canterbury Resources Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 59 152 189 369 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 30.

The analysis assumes all other variables remain constant. 2022 Cash at bank Tax charge of 25.0% Post tax profit increase/(decrease) 2021 Cash at bank Tax charge of 26.0% Post tax profit increase/(decrease) Carrying amount $ 362,795 Carrying amount $ 545,568 +0.5% interest rate profit & loss $ -0.5% interest rate profit & loss $ 1,814 (454) 1,360 (1,814) 454 (1,360) +0.5% interest rate profit & loss $ -0.5% interest rate profit & loss $ 2,728 (709) 2,019 (2,728) 709 (2,019) 56 Canterbury Resources Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 59 152 189 369 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 30. Financial instruments (cont’d) Capital management (cont’d) (a) Market risk (cont’d) (ii) Currency risk The group's policy is, where possible, to allow group entities to settle liabilities denominated in their functional currency with the cash generated from their own operations in that currency. Where group entities have liabilities denominated in a currency other than their functional currency (and have insufficient reserves of that currency to settle them) cash already denominated in that currency will, where possible, be transferred from elsewhere within the group. The group's exposure to foreign currency risk, which arises out of its investments in Papua New Guinea, is as follows: Cash at bank Net exposure Sensitivity analysis 2022 Cash at bank Tax charge of 25.0% Post tax profit increase/(decrease) 2021 Cash at bank Tax charge of 26.0% Post tax profit increase/(decrease) 2022 $ 8,375 8,375 2021 $ 22,057 22,057 Carrying amount AUD$ 8,375 Carrying amount AUD$ 22,057 +10% KNA/AUD profit & loss AUD$ -10% KNA/AUD profit & loss AUD$ 838 (210) 628 (838) 210 (628) +10% KNA/AUD profit & loss AUD$ -10% KNA/AUD profit & loss AUD$ 2,206 (574) 1,632 (2,206) 574 (1,632) 57 Canterbury Resources Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 59 152 189 369 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 30. Financial instruments (cont’d) Capital management (cont’d) (b) Credit risk Credit risk arises principally from the group's trade and other receivables. It is the risk that the counterpart fails to discharge its obligation in respect of the instrument. Ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial condition of trade and other receivables. The group does not have significant concentration of credit risk with respect to any single counter party or company of counter parties. The group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables. The group has considered the impact of COVID-19 on expected credit losses (ECL) for receivables and note there is no material impact. In determining the recoverability of a trade receivable, the local management considers any change in the credit quality of these financial assets from the date credit was granted up to the reporting date. The directors have assessed for any expected credit losses under AASB 9 and believe that there is no further credit provision required. Management does not expect any material loss from non-performance by counterparties on credit granted during the financial year under review that has not been provided for. (c) Liquidity risk Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board, which has established an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the group’s short medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The group manages liquidity risk by maintaining a reputable credit risk profile, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows. The group's policy is to ensure that it will always have sufficient cash to allow it to meet its liabilities when they become due. To achieve this aim, it seeks to maintain cash balances (or agreed facilities) to meet expected requirements for a period of at least 45 days. The Board receives cash flow projections in a monthly basis as well as information regarding cash balances. At the balance sheet date, these projections indicated that the group expected to have sufficient liquid resources to meet its obligations under all reasonably expected circumstances. The group does not have any financing facilities in place and does not have a bank overdraft. Maturity analysis of financial assets and liability based on contractual obligations The risk implied from the values shown in the table below, reflects a balanced view of cash inflows and outflows. Trade and other payables mainly originate from the financing of assets used in ongoing operations such as, plant, equipment and investments in working capital (e.g. trade receivables). These assets are considered in the group's overall liquidity risk. 2022 Financial assets Cash Trade and other receivables Total assets Financial liabilities Trade and other payables Lease liabilities Total liabilities Carrying amount $ 362,795 6,846 369,641 125,828 33,715 159,543 Contractual cash flows 6-12 months $ < 6 months $ > 12 months $ 362,795 6,846 369,641 125,828 9,912 135,740 - - - - - - 9,912 9,912 13,891 13,891 Net maturity 210,098 233,901 (9,912) (13,891) On demand $ - - - - - - 58 Canterbury Resources Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 59 152 189 369 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 30.

Fair value measurements The investment in New Talisman Gold Mines Limited is measured at fair value (refer to Note 12). Other than as noted above, there are no financial assets or financial liabilities that are measured at fair value at the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers between level 1,2, and 3 for recurring fair value measurements during the year. The carrying amount of other financial assets or financial liabilities recorded in the consolidated financial statements approximate their fair values. 32. Other information In accordance with Listing Rule 4.10.19, the group has used the cash and assets in a form readily convertible to cash that it had at the time of admission in a way consistent with its business objectives. 59 Canterbury Resources Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 59 152 189 369 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 33. Events after the reporting period Subsequent to year end the following events have arisen: (cid:127) Alma Metals Limited has exercised its option to commence an Earn-In joint venture at the Briggs, Mannersley and Fig Tree Hill project in central Queensland. Alma can earn up to 70% interest in the project through staged exploration and expenditure totalling $15.25million. (cid:127) On 1 August 2022, Canterbury launched a Share Purchase Plan (SPP) for shareholders registered as at 22 July 2022, to raise additional capital. The SPP provides the shareholders listed on Canterbury’s register on 22 July 2022 with an opportunity to subscribe for a minimum of $1,000 and a maximum of $30,000 worth of fully-paid ordinary shares at $0.04 per share. Other than as noted above, there have been no other events subsequent to 30 June 2022 that are likely, in the director’s opinion, to affect significantly the activities or the state of affairs of the group in future financial years. 60 Canterbury Resources Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 59 152 189 369 Directors’ declaration The directors declare that: (a) in the directors’ opinion, there are reasonable grounds to believe that the company will be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable; (b) in the directors’ opinion, the attached financial statements are in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as stated in note 2 to the financial statements; (c) in the directors’ opinion, the attached financial statements and notes thereto are in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including compliance with Accounting Standards and giving a true and fair view of the financial position and performance of the group, and (d) the directors have been given the declarations required by s.295A of the Corporations Act 2001.

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 2022 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; 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 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. further described 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. Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Capitalised Exploration and Development Expenditure $10.9 million Refer to Note 11 The consolidated entity owns the rights to several exploration licenses in Papua New Guinea and Queensland. Expenditure relating to these areas is capitalised and carried forward to the extent they are expected to be recovered through the successful development of the respective area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves. This area is a key audit matter due to: • The significance of the balance; • The inherent uncertainty of the recoverability of the amounts involved; and • The substantial amount of audit work performed. Our audit procedures included amongst others: • Assessing whether any facts or circumstances exist that may indicate impairment of the capitalised asset; • Performing detailed testing of source documents to ensure capitalised expenditure was allocated to the correct area of interest; • Performing detailed testing of source documents to ensure expenditure was capitalised in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards; and • Obtaining external confirmations to ensure the exploration licences are current and accurate. Other Information The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2022 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. Directors' Responsibility 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 Responsibility 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. As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control. • • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. Report on the Remuneration Report Opinion We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors' report for the year ended 30 June 2022. In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Canterbury Resources Limited for the year ended 30 June 2022 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Responsibilities The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
