The company has turned the development of the Karlawinda Gold Project from a dream to a reality. During the year we updated feasibility studies, completed the financing, and commenced project development. We are now aiming for commissioning of the processing plant in the March 2021 quarter and first gold production in the June 2021 quarter. Karlawinda is one of the few, if not the only, Australian greenfield gold projects with forecast production of more than 100,000 ounces per annum scheduled for commencement in 2021. This puts Capricorn in a unique position in the Australian gold industry to attract investor interest with a successful transition to production and cashflow generation. With the gold price at historically high levels, in the order of A$2,600 per ounce, I believe that the Karlawinda project has the potential to generate very strong returns for Capricorn shareholders. It is a technically robust project and its location in the Pilbara region of WA is a fantastic operational advantage. It should also be remembered that our 1.2 million-ounce gold reserve has been estimated using a A$1,600/oz gold price which is around $1,000/oz lower than the current price. We have 2.1 million ounces of gold resources at Karlawinda, estimated at a A$2,000/oz gold price, that will be assessed for mine life and reserve extension opportunities once the mine is operational and a unit cost structure is established. Whilst delivery of the mine development for first gold production next year is the Company’s main focus, we are also starting to turn our attention to the very significant exploration opportunity that we have at Karlawinda. We hold over 2,000 square kilometres of tenure and have significant areas of prospective greenstone within that area. Very little exploration work has been undertaken outside the main Bibra deposit area and we have started the process of targeting and drilling in several areas. We are very conscious that a new discovery within trucking distance of the processing facilities would generate significant value for the company. We look forward to pursuing a concerted exploration programme in the current year. 2020 has proven to be a very challenging year for business and the community with the ongoing effects of COVID-19. We continue to monitor and manage any potential COVID-19 implications for the Karlawinda construction and other activities. I am pleased that to date there have not been any serious impacts on our business, and we are very fortunate to be operating in Western Australia where COVID-19 has not been as pervasive as in many other places. However, we understand that the risks to our people, activities and supply chains are significant and we will remain as vigilant as possible to identify and manage these risks. I am pleased to report that we have been very successful in attracting experienced and proven management, development, and operations teams. These people give Capricorn an opportunity to build and run the Karlawinda gold mine in an efficient and cost-effective way which I believe will generate significant shareholder value in the years to come. I would like to thank all Capricorn management, staff and contractors for what has been achieved in a short time to date and look forward to their effort to see the Karlawinda project successfully developed and brought in to production. In closing, I would like to thank you, the shareholders, for your support and I look forward to a very exciting year in 2021 as we embark on first gold production at Karlawinda.

Both Directors have significant experience and knowledge in gold project development and operations. Mr Myles Ertzen was appointed as a Non-Executive Director in September 2019, along with Mr Kim Massey as Chief Executive Officer and Mr Paul Thomas as Chief Operating Officer. In October 2019, Ms Tammie Dixon was appointed as Chief Financial Officer and Company Secretary. To assist with the funding for the development of the KGP, during the year Capricorn successfully completed two capital raisings for a combined total of $83.26 million. This included a July 2019 placement of 280,922,429 new shares at an issue price of 6.5 cents per share and a further placement in August 2019 of 406,250,000 new shares at an issue price of 16 cents per share. In November 2019, shareholders approved a resolution at the Annual General Meeting to consolidate the Company’s issued capital through the conversion of every five shares into one share. Debt and bank guarantee facility agreements were executed with Macquarie Bank Limited (“MBL”) for the development of the KGP on 18 December 2019. The terms of the facility include: • A Project Loan Facility of $80 million and Bank Guarantee of $20 million; • First ranking security over the assets of Greenmount (a wholly owned operating Resources Pty Ltd subsidiary) and corporate guarantee; • Competitive margin above BBSY; • Loan covenants customary for a facility of this type; • Four and a half year tenor with a repayment schedule over the term; and • The facility can be repaid early at any time without penalty. Capricorn is in the process of satisfying the conditions precedent before draw down can commence. As a pre- condition to the financing facility with MBL, the Company completed 200,000 ounces of gold hedging contracts at a flat forward price of $2,250 per ounce. The hedges have been rolled into a flat forward structure with a delivery schedule covering 10,000 to 12,000 ounces of gold production per quarter from June 2021 to September 2025 at a flat forward price of $2,250 per ounce. Subsequent to year end, the Company completed a successful capital raising via a placement to institutional investors of 17,000,000 new shares at an issue price of $1.90 per share which raised a total of $32.3 million. RESPONSE TO COVID-19 On 30 January 2020, the World Health Organisation (WHO) announced that the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak was a global health emergency and later declared it a global pandemic. The Company has followed the formal guidance from the State and Federal health authorities by implementing measures to minimise the risk of infection and rate of transmission of the virus. Site procedures have been established at the KGP to ensure strict adherence to these controls including health screening of all employees, contractors and deliveries made to the mine site; social distancing protocols; strict hygiene practices and staggering of meal times to limit social gatherings. Remote working arrangements have been implemented for staff at the Company’s corporate office.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020, comprises Capricorn Metals Ltd (referred to in these financial statements as “Parent” or “Capricorn”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries (“the Group”)(“the Company”). Capricorn Metals Ltd is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The Group is a for profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent entity, using consistent accounting policies. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, income and expenses and profit and losses resulting from intra-group transactions have been eliminated in full. The consolidated financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Interpretations and other authoritative Accounting pronouncements the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. of The financial statements were authorised for issue on 16 September 2020 by the Directors of the Company. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated. Basis of Preparation: Reporting Basis and Conventions Except for the cash flow information, the financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets, and financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied. Accounting Policies: (a) Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Parent and Entities controlled by the Parent (its subsidiaries). The parent controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. A list of the subsidiaries is provided in Note 26. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group. Unrealised gains or transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interests in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. When the Group ceases to have control, joint control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint controlled entity or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss. (b) Income Tax The charge for current income tax expense is based on the profit for the year adjusted for any non-assessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or are substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial 30 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFor the year ended 30 June 2020CAPRICORN METALS LTD - annual reportrecognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity. Deferred revenue tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the Group will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law. (c) Property, Plant and Equipment Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value, less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Property Land and Buildings are measured using a revaluation model in accordance with paragraph 31 of AASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment. The entire class of property, plant and equipment to which land and buildings belong is subject to review and revalued on the basis of independent valuations. Any revaluation adjustment to the carrying amount of land and buildings is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under the heading of asset revaluation reserve. Infrastructure, Plant and Equipment The value of plant and equipment is measured as the cost of the asset, less accumulated depreciation and impairment. The cost of the asset also includes the cost of replacing parts that are eligible for capitalisation, the cost of major inspections and an initial estimate of the cost of dismantling and removing the item from site at the end of its useful life. Depreciation The depreciable amount of all plant and equipment including capitalised lease assets, is depreciated on a reducing balance commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are: Class of Fixed Asset Depreciation Rate Plant and Equipment 7.5% - 50% Computers Motor vehicles Field equipment 20% 20% 40% The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of the reporting period. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. losses on disposals are determined by Gains and comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. (d) Assets Held for Sale Non-current assets, or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities, are classified as held-for-sale if it is highly probable that they will be recovered primarily through the sale rather than through continuing use. Such assets, or disposal groups, are generally measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Any impairment loss on a disposal group is allocated first to goodwill, and then to the remaining assets, deferred tax assets, employee benefits assets, investment property or biological assets, which continue to be measured in accordance with the Group’s other accounting policies. initial classification as held-for-sale or held-for-distribution and subsequent gains and losses on remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses on Once classified as held-for-sale, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are no longer amortised or depreciated, and any equity-accounted investee is no longer equity accounted. 31 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)For the year ended 30 June 2020CAPRICORN METALS LTD - annual report(e) Exploration, Evaluation and Development Expenditure Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is capitalised only when that expenditure is attributable to a defined area of interest for which the Group has the rights to explore, evaluate and develop. Tenement acquisition costs are initially capitalised. Costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area, sale of the respective areas of interest or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage, which 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 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 carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest. Immediate restoration, rehabilitation and environmental costs necessitated by exploration and evaluation activities are expensed as incurred and treated as exploration and evaluation expenditure. Exploration activities resulting in future obligations in respect of restoration costs result in a provision to be made by capitalising the estimated costs, on a discounted cash basis, of restoration and depreciating over the useful life of the asset. The unwinding of the effect of the discounting on the provision is recorded as a finance cost on the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. (f) Mine Properties Under Development Mine properties under development represents the costs incurred in preparing mines for production and includes plant and equipment under construction and operating costs incurred before production commences. These costs are capitalised to the extent they are expected to be recouped through successful exploitation of the related mining leases. Once production commences, these costs are transferred to property, plant and equipment and mine properties, as relevant, and are depreciated and amortised using the units-of-production method based on the estimated economically recoverable reserves to which they relate or are written off if the mine property is abandoned. (g) Financial Instruments Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except where the instruments is classified ‘at fair value through profit or loss’ in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Financial instruments are classified and measured as set out below. Classification and subsequent measurement Classification and Subsequent Measurement Financial instruments are subsequently measured at either fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted. Amortised cost is calculated as (i) the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition; (ii) less principal repayments; (iii) plus or minus the cumulative amortisation of the difference, if any, between the amount initially recognised and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method; and (iv) less any reduction for impairment. The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carry amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential recognition of an income or expense in profit or loss. The Group does not designate any interest in subsidiaries, associates or joint venture entities as being subject to the requirements of accounting standards specifically applicable to financial statements. 32 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)For the year ended 30 June 2020CAPRICORN METALS LTD - annual reportFinancial assets at fair value through profit and loss or through other comprehensive Income Financial assets are classified at ‘fair value through profit or loss’ or ‘fair value through other comprehensive income’ when they are either held for trading for purposes of short term profit taking, derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or when they are designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by KMP on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in carrying value being included in profit or loss if electing to choose ‘fair value through profit or loss’ or other comprehensive income if electing ‘fair value through other comprehensive income’. Financial liabilities The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, provisions for cash bonus and other liabilities. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs. Such liabilities are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in carrying value being included in profit or loss if electing to choose ‘fair value through profit or loss’ or other comprehensive income if electing ‘fair value through other comprehensive income’. Fair value Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Derecognition Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipts of cash flows expire or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risk and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are recognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss. (h) Impairment of Receivables The Group applies the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days overdue. Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses. (i) Impairment of Assets is any At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the assets, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Where 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. (j) Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances Functional and presentation currency The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic The environment in consolidated financial statements are presented Australian Dollars which is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency. in which that entity operates. Transaction and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non- monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. 33 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)For the year ended 30 June 2020CAPRICORN METALS LTD - annual reportExchange differences arising on the translation of non- monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in equity; otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Group companies The financial results and position of foreign operations, being activities outside of Australia, whose functional currency is different from the Group’s presentation currency, are translated as follows: – Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period; – Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period, when the average rate approximates the rate at the date of the transaction; and – Retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. functional currencies other Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations with than Australian dollars are recognised in other comprehensive income and included in foreign currency translation reserve in the statement of financial position. These differences are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the period in which the operation is disposed of. (k) Employee Benefits Short-term employee benefits Provision is made for the Group’s obligation for short- term employee benefits. Short-term employee benefits are benefits (other than termination benefits) that are expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service, including wages, salaries and annual leave entitlements. Short-term employee benefits are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts expected to be paid when the obligation is settled. The Group’s obligations for short-term employee benefits such as wages, salaries and annual leave are recognised as a part of current trade and other payables in the statement of financial position. The Group’s obligations for employees’ long service leave entitlements are recognised as provisions in the statement of financial position. Other long-term employee benefits Provision is made for employees’ long service leave entitlements not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service. Other long-term employee benefits are measured at the present value of the expected future payments to be made to employees. Expected incorporate anticipated future wage and salary levels, durations of service and employee departures and are discounted at rates determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on corporate bonds that have maturity dates that approximate the terms of the obligations. future payments Any re-measurements for changes in assumptions of obligations for other long-term employee benefits are recognised in profit or loss in the periods in which the changes occur. The Group’s obligations for long-term employee benefits are presented as non-current provisions in its statement of financial position, except where the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period, in which case the obligations are presented as current provisions. As at 30 June 2020 the Group does not have any employees entitled to long service leave, or a pro-rata entitlement to long service leave. Defined contribution superannuation benefits All employees of the Group, located in Australia receive defined contribution superannuation entitlements, for which the Group pays the fixed superannuation guarantee contribution (currently 9.50% of the employee’s average ordinary salary) to the employee’s superannuation fund of choice. All contributions in respect of employees’ defined contribution entitlements are recognised as an expense when they become payable. The Group’s obligation with respect to employees’ defined contribution entitlements is limited to its obligation for any unpaid superannuation guarantee contributions at the end of the reporting period. All obligations for unpaid superannuation guarantee contributions are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts expected to be paid when the obligation is settled and are presented as current liabilities in the Group’s statement of financial position. 34 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)For the year ended 30 June 2020CAPRICORN METALS LTD - annual reportEquity-settled compensation (l) Provisions The Group provides benefits to employees (including Directors) of the Group in the form of share-based payment render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (‘equity-settled transactions’) refer to Note 19. transactions, whereby employees The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they are granted. The fair value of options is determined by an internal valuation using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of performance rights determined by consideration of the Company’s share price at the grant date and consideration of the specific non-market vesting conditions applicable to the performance rights. The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (“Vesting Date”). The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the number of options that, in the opinion of the Directors of the Company, will ultimately vest. This opinion is formed based on the best available information at reporting date. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market condition. Where an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. A provision for site rehabilitation is recognised in respect of the estimated cost of rehabilitation and restoration of the areas disturbed by mining activities up to the reporting date, but not yet rehabilitated. (m) Borrowings Interest bearing borrowings are initially measured at fair value, net of directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Borrowings which are due to be settled within 12 months after the balance sheet date are included in current borrowings in the balance sheet even though the original term was for a period longer than 12 months or an agreement to refinance, or to reschedule payments, on a long-term basis is completed after the balance sheet date and before the financial statements are authorised for issue. Other borrowings to be settled more than 12 months after the balance sheet date are included in noncurrent borrowings in the balance sheet. (n) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. (o) Revenue and Other Income Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets. Revenue from Royalties are recognised upon delivery of goods to customers or to the minimum monthly contractual amount. Rental income is recognised on a straight line basis over the period of the lease term so as to reflect a constant periodic return on the property. Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST). 35 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)For the year ended 30 June 2020CAPRICORN METALS LTD - annual reportGovernment grants are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that conditions attached to the grant will be complied with and that the grant will be received. (p) Borrowing Costs Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs have been expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. (q) Operating Segments The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board as the Chief Operating Decision Makers (“CODM”) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. The Group is managed primarily on the basis of geographical location as the Group’s operations inherently have different risk profiles and performance assessment criteria. Operating segments are therefore determined on the same basis. The consolidated entity has only one operating segments based on the information provided to the CODM. Therefore, as the results are the same as the consolidated entity they have not been repeated. (r) Group as a Lessor Leases in which the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents are recognised as revenue in the period in which they are earned. (s) Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST. Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flow on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows. (t) Value Added Tax (“VAT”) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of VAT, except where the amount of VAT incurred is not recoverable from the Madagascan tax authority. In these circumstances VAT is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of VAT. Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flow on a gross basis, except for the VAT component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows. (u) Contributed Equity Issued and paid up capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Company. Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds received. (v) Comparative Figures When required by Australian Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year. (w) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements judgments The Directors evaluate estimates and incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group. 36 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)For the year ended 30 June 2020CAPRICORN METALS LTD - annual reportKey Estimates Impairment The Group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Impairment of investments in subsidiaries arises where the carrying value of the asset exceeds the net asset position of the subsidiaries and impairment is recognised to the value of the deficit. Impairment of intangible assets is recognised upon managements’ best estimate that the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset considering future cash flows and profits arising from the asset. Share Based Payments The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value of options is determined by an internal valuation using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, using the assumptions detailed in Note 19. The fair value of performance rights is determined by the share price at the date of valuation and consideration of the probability of the vesting condition being met. Rehabilitation Provision The Group assesses site rehabilitation liabilities annually. The provision recognised is based on an assessment of the estimated cost of closure and reclamation of the areas using internal information concerning environmental issues in the exploration and previously mined areas, discounted to present value. Significant estimation is required in determining the provision for site rehabilitation as there are many factors that may affect the timing and ultimate cost to rehabilitate sites where mining and/or exploration activities have previously taken place. These factors include future development/ exploration activity, changes in the cost of goods and services required for restoration activity and changes to the legal and regulatory framework. These factors may result in future actual expenditure differing from the amounts currently provided. Key Judgements Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure Tenement acquisition costs are initially capitalised and then amortised with other exploration and evaluation expenditure written off as incurred. Costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of a defined area of interest for which the Group has the rights to explore, evaluate and develop, the sale of the respective areas of interest or where activities in the area of interest 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 carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest. The Directors believe that the capitalised exploration expenditure on peripheral exploration tenements, outside of the defined mining lease should be written off at the reporting date as there are no immediate plans to develop outside of the mining lease. Deferred Tax Assets The Directors have considered it prudent not to bring to account the deferred tax asset of income tax losses until it is probable of deriving assessable income of a nature and amount to enable such benefit to be realised. Held for Sale Assets The held for sale property asset, reclassified from property, plant and equipment at 30 June 2017, remains unsold as at 30 June 2020. An annual valuation prepared by an expert is used by the Directors in the assessment of the carrying amount of the held for sale asset and the requirement to impair the carrying value. (x) Other Receivables Other receivables include amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business. Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are classified as current assets. Other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment. Refer to Note 1(h) for further discussion on the determination of impairment losses. 37 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)For the year ended 30 June 2020CAPRICORN METALS LTD - annual report(y) Other Payables Other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months. (z) Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing the income or loss attributable to the members of the Company for reporting period, after exclusion of any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the half year, adjusted for any bonus elements. Diluted EPS adjusts the figures used in the determination of Basic EPS to take into account the after-tax effect of interest recognised associated with the dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares adjusted for any bonus elements. (aa) Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards The Group has adopted all the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are relevant to their operations and are effective for the current financial reporting period, being the year ended 30 June 2020. There have been no new and revised standards that have had a significant impact on the measurement or disclosure requirements of the Group, except as noted below. New and revised Standards adopted by the Group AASB 16 Leases This note explains the impact of the adoption of AASB 16 Leases on the Group’s financial statements and discloses the new accounting policies that have been applied from 1 July 2019. AASB 16 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract, i.e. the customer (“lessee”) and the supplier (“lessor”). AASB 16 replaces the previous leases Standard, AASB 117 Leases, and related Interpretations. AASB 16 has one model for lessees which will result in almost all leases being included on the Balance Sheet. The lessee recognises a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. The Group has adopted AASB 16 using the modified retrospective approach from 1 July 2019 but has not restated comparatives for the 2019 reporting period, as permitted under the specific transitional provisions in the standard. The reclassifications and the adjustments arising from the new leasing rules are therefore recognised in the opening statement of financial position on 1 July 2019. leases assets including properties and The Group equipment. As a lessee, the Group previously classified leases as operating or financial leases based on its assessment of whether the lease transferred substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership. Under AASB 16, the Group recognises right of use assets and lease liabilities for some of these leases – i.e. they are on the statement of financial position. The Group presents right of-use assets in ‘Property, plant and equipment’ together with assets that it owns. The Group presents lease liabilities separately in the statement of financial position. The accounting policy changes have been outlined below. (i) Definition of a lease In accordance with AASB 16, a contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys a right to control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for consideration. On transition to AASB 16, the Group elected to apply the practical expedient (where applicable) to grandfather the assessment of lease transactions and applied AASB 16 only to contracts entered or changed on or after 1 July 2019. At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group has elected not to separate non-lease components and will instead account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. 38 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)For the year ended 30 June 2020CAPRICORN METALS LTD - annual report(ii) Right-of-use assets The Group recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease and is initially measured at cost, and subsequently at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any changes to lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date. The consolidated entity has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. (iii) Lease Liability 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 interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The lease liability is subsequently increased by the interest cost on the lease liability and decreased by lease payments made. The carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification to an index or rate, a change in the residual value guarantee, or changes in the assessment of whether a purchase, extension or termination option will be exercised. The lease payments include fixed monthly payments, variable lease payments and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees less any incentives received. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are recognised as an expense in the period it was incurred. The lease payment also includes the exercise price, or termination price, of a purchase option in the event the lease is likely to be extended, or terminated, by the Group. The Group has applied judgement to determine the lease term for some lease contracts in which it is a lessee that includes renewal options. The assessment of these options will impact the lease term and therefore affects the amount of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets recognised. (iv) Impact on financial statements On transition to AASB 16, the Group recognised additional right-of-use assets of $335,775 and lease liabilities of $335,775. When measuring lease liabilities for leases that were classified as operating leases, the Group discounted the lease payments using its incremental borrowing rate at 1 July 2019. The weighted average rate applied was 3.55%. There was no impact on opening retained earnings at 1 July 2019. On initial application Operating lease commitment as at 1 July 2019 Discounted on initial application using the incremental borrowing rate Commitments not recognised as a lease Lease liability recognised at 1 July 2019 At 30 June 2020 Right-of-use assets Lease liabilities $ 540,237 (19,442) (185,020) 335,775 $ 217,739 252,794 In addition, the Group has recognised depreciation and interest costs, instead of operating lease expenses. For the period ended 30 June 2020, the Group recognised $93,631 of lease liability repayments, $118,036 of depreciation charges and $10,649 of interest costs in relation to these leases. Total cash outflows for leases recognised under AASB 16 totalled $104,280 for the year. Standards and interpretations issued, not yet adopted There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that would be expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions. 39 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)For the year ended 30 June 2020CAPRICORN METALS LTD - annual report2.

The provision recognised is based on an assessment of the estimated cost of closure and reclamation of the areas using internal information concerning environmental issues in the exploration and previously mined areas, discounted to present value. Significant estimation is required in determining the provision for site rehabilitation as there are many factors that may affect the timing and ultimate cost to rehabilitate sites where mining and/or exploration activities have previously taken place. These factors include future development/exploration activity, changes in the costs of goods and services required for restoration activity and changes to the legal and regulatory framework. These factors may result in future actual expenditure differing from the amounts currently provided. 47 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)For the year ended 30 June 2020CAPRICORN METALS LTD - annual report15.

COMMITMENTS Planned Exploration Expenditure Exploration expenditure commitments represent tenement rentals and expenditure requirements that may be required to be met under the relevant legislation should the Group wish to retain tenure on all current tenements in which the Group has an interest. As at 30 June 2020, the Group holds 17 granted tenements and 1 granted mining lease. In addition, there are 2 applications not yet granted and 9 granted miscellaneous licences which do not have an annual minimum expenditure commitment but do have an annual rent payment applicable. Within one year Exploration commitments at reporting date not recognised as liabilities 2020 $ 2019 $ 1,513,664 1,513,664 1,197,363 1,197,363 Annual exploration expenditure after one year will be a similar commitment to that within one year, however this amount is increased if new exploration tenements are added to the Group’s portfolio or reduced, if exploration tenements are removed from the Group’s portfolio. Tenement E52/3797 was under application as at 30 June 2020 and has subsequently been granted in August 2020. The required expenditure has been included in the above commitments. Operating Lease Commitments The Group leases office premises in West Perth, Western Australia under normal commercial lease arrangements. The office lease was entered into for an initial 5-year period commencing 1 May 2017. In addition, the Group has entered into a lease arrangement on a printer from 22 May 2017, and a phone system from 9 July 2017, both with lease terms of 5 years. At 1 July 2019, with the adoption of AASB16 Leases, operating leases as previously defined under AASB 117 Leases have for the most part been recognised and included as lease liabilities with future commitments disclosed in Note 8. Any leases that did not meet the definition of finance leases were either short term in nature or did not meet the recognition requirements (these totalled $0). Refer to Note 1(z) for further details on the impact of this change. The disclosure of prior period operating commitments is retained in these financial statements as follows: Lease Commitments: Group as lessee Operating leases: Within one year Later than one year but not later than five years Lease expenditure contracted at reporting date not recognised as liabilities 2019 $ 160,752 379,485 540,237 53 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)For the year ended 30 June 2020CAPRICORN METALS LTD - annual reportPhysical Gold Delivery Commitments As part of the risk management policy of the Group and in compliance with the conditions required by the Group’s financier Macquarie Bank Limited (“MBL”), the Group has entered into a gold forward contract to manage the gold price of a proportion of anticipated sales of gold. The contracts are accounted for as sale contracts with revenue recognised once gold has been delivered to MBL or its agent. The physical gold delivery contracts are considered a contract to sell a non-financial item and therefore do not fall within the scope of AASB 9 Financial Instruments. Hence no derivatives are recognised. The contracted sales price is rounded to the nearest dollar. Gold for physical delivery Contracted gold sale price Value of committed sales Mark-to-market ounces $ $ $ Between one and five years - Fixed forward contracts 200,000 2,250 450,000,000 (67,390,000) Mark-to-market has been calculated using the spot price of $2,585 per ounce as at 30 June 2020. Mark-to-market represents the value of the open contracts at balance date, calculated with reference to the gold spot price at that date. A negative amount reflects a valuation in the counterparty’s favour. On 6 January 2020, the Group entered into a call option contract of 16,700 ounces with a delivery price of $2,260 per ounce with Macquarie Bank Limited. The Group has no other gold sale commitments (June 2019: Nil). Gas Pipeline Construction and Supply During May 2020, Capricorn entered into an agreement with APA Group (“APA”)(ASX: APA) for the transportation of gas from the Goldfields Gas Pipeline (“GGP”). As part of this agreement, APA will build, own and operate the lateral pipeline that links GGP to the Karlawinda Gold Project. The terms of the agreement commit the Group to purchasing the right to use the gas pipeline including the lateral pipeline being built for ongoing gas supply over five years for an estimated $31.1m. Power Station Construction and Supply During May 2020, Capricorn executed a power supply agreement with Contract Power Australia Pty Ltd (“Contract Power”) to build, own and operate a 16MW gas fuelled station with 2MW of diesel back-up at the Karlawinda Gold Project. The terms of the agreement commit the Group to the right to use the Power Station being built and provides ongoing power supply for eight years for approximately $31.5m which includes both fixed and variable pricing components. 22.

EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE There were no material events arising subsequent to 30 June 2020, to the date of this report which may significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations and the state of affairs of the Group in the future, other than: Share Issue Subsequent to year end, 53,334 shares have been issued as a result of the exercise of employee options for proceeds of $40,000. On 29 July 2020, a placement to raise $32.3 million by the issue of 17,000,000 shares at a price of $1.90 per share was announced. The placement was completed and shares were issued on 5 August 2020. The impact of the Coronavirus (“Covid-19”) pandemic is ongoing and it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date. The situation is continuing to evolve and is dependent on measures imposed by the Australian Government and other countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided. 24. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS In common with other businesses, the Group is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. The Group’s key financial instruments comprise cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and trade and other payables. This note describes the Group’s objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them. Further quantitative information in respect of those risks is presented throughout these financial statements. There have been no substantive changes in the Group’s exposure to financial instrument risks, its objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks or the methods used to measure them from previous periods unless otherwise stated in this note. The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the Group’s risk management objectives and policies. The Group’s risk management policies and objectives are designed to minimise the potential impacts of these risks on the Group where such impacts may be material. The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the Group’s competitiveness and flexibility. (a) Categories of financial instruments Financial asset Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Financial liabilities Trade and other payables Lease liabilities 2020 $ 2019 $ 45,694,818 9,039,767 4,250,434 270,262 12,691,039 2,328,865 252,794 - 55 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)For the year ended 30 June 2020CAPRICORN METALS LTD - annual report(b) Capital risk management The Board controls the capital of the Group in order to ensure that the Group can fund its operations and continue as a going concern. As at 30 June 2020, under the Company’s ASX listing Rule 7.1 Capacity, the Company could issue up to 15% of it is previously approved issued capital as new shares, therefore Capricorn could issue up to 140,480,001 new shares without requiring shareholder approval. There are no externally imposed capital requirements. The Board effectively manages the Group’s capital by assessing the Group’s financial risks and adjusting its capital structure in response to changes in these risks and in the market. These responses include the management of debt levels, distributions to shareholders and share issues. There have been no changes in the strategy adopted by the Board to control the capital of the Group since the prior year. (c) Market risk The Group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, accounts receivable and payable. In August 2019 Capricorn announced the completion of 200,000 ounces of gold hedging with a 31 December 2019 maturity and a price of A$2,250 per ounce. The hedges have been rolled into a flat forward structure with a delivery schedule covering 10,000 to 12,000 ounces of gold production per quarter from June 2021 to September 2025 at a flat forward price of $2,250 per ounce. The delivery programme matches debt quantum and amortisation and life of mine production plans. The Group does not speculate in the trading of derivative instruments. There has been no change to the Group’s exposure to market risks or the manner in which it manages and measures the risk from the previous year. (d) Foreign currency risk The Group is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies arising from the sale and purchase of goods and services in currencies other than the Group’s functional and presentation currency. As a result of subsidiary companies being registered in Madagascar, the Group’s statement of financial position can be affected by movements in the AUD$/Ariary exchange rates. The Group do not seek to hedge this exposure given there are minimal operations in these foreign subsidiaries and therefore minimal risk as a result of any changes in foreign currency. There is no formal foreign currency management policy, however the Group monitors its foreign currency expenditure and foreign subsidiary requirements. (e) Financial risk management The Group’s management, co-ordinates access to banking facilities, and monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations, comprising mainly access to cash, and the level of trade and other payables in accordance with the decisions of the Directors. In the reporting period, the Group was not exposed to material financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Accordingly, the Group did not employ derivative financial instruments to hedge currency risk exposures. 56 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)For the year ended 30 June 2020CAPRICORN METALS LTD - annual report(f) Interest rate risk At the reporting date, the interest rate profile of the Group’s interest-bearing financial instruments was: Fixed rate instruments Cash and cash equivalents Term deposits Lease liabilities Variable rate instruments: Cash and cash equivalents 2020 $ 40,415,335 363,364 252,794 2019 $ - 138,364 - 5,279,483 9,039,767 Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments A change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased (decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2019. 2020 2019 100 bp increase $ 52,795 100 bp decrease $ 100 bp increase $ 100 bp decrease $ (52,795) 90,398 (90,398) Variable rate instruments (g) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and ensuring that adequate facilities are maintained. (h) Credit risk Credit risk is managed to ensure that customers are of sound credit worthiness and monitoring is used to recover aged debts and assess receivables for impairment. Credit terms are generally 30 days from the invoice date. The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with any single party with the exception of the TVA receivable from the Madagascan government relating to taxes paid on the Business Sale Agreement and Long Term Lease Agreement. These taxes are recoverable long term in accordance with existing Madagascan taxation law. The Group has assessed the non-current TVA receivable as non-recoverable, and has recorded a provision for impairment of the full amount. Risk is also minimized by investing surplus funds in financial institutions with a high credit rating. (i) Financial instruments measured at fair value The financial instruments recognised at fair value in the statement of financial position have been analysed and classified using a fair value hierarchy reflecting the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. 57 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)For the year ended 30 June 2020CAPRICORN METALS LTD - annual reportThe fair value hierarchy consists of the following levels: – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1); – inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (Level 2); and – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (Level 3). Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total 2020 $ 2019 $ 68,000 128,000 - - - - 68,000 128,000 Included within Level 1 of the hierarchy are the BlackEarth Minerals NL shares listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. The fair value of this financial asset has been based on the closing quoted bid prices at the end of the reporting period, excluding transaction costs. No transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy occurred during the current or previous reporting period. The Directors consider that the carrying value of all financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the consolidated financial statements approximate to their fair value.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group, is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: (i) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2020 and of its financial performance for the year ended on that date; and (ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the 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 (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We 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. 64 INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORTCAPRICORN METALS LTD - annual report Independent auditor’s report to members (continued) MINE PROPERTIES UNDER DEVELOPMENT Area of focus Refer also to notes 1 (f) and 12 There has been significant progress on the development of the Karlawinda Gold Project which has been capitalised during the year. The Group has incurred exploration costs for the Karlawinda project since December 2015, and a review of deferred exploration and evaluation costs for tenement M52/1070 was conducted during the year and a decision was made to reclassify a total of $14,479,814 to Mine Properties under Development. This was a key matter because of the significance of the value of Mine Properties under Development at 30 June 2020. REHABILITATION PROVISION Area of focus Refer also to notes 1 (l), 1 (w) and 14 At 30 June 2020, the Group has recognised a provision of $4.1 million relating to the estimated cost of decommissioning, restoration and rehabilitation of areas disturbed during exploration and development activities. This was a key audit matter because the calculations of the provision were complex and based on the estimates of future cots of required work, including volume and unit rates and the area of disturbance. The provision has been split between current liabilities and non-current liabilities How our audit addressed it Our audit procedures included: — Reviewing the directors’ assessment of the criteria for the capitalisation of Mine Properties under Development including a review of the Group's accounting policy; — Substantive testing of a sample of expenditure incurred and capitalised; and — Assessing the adequacy of the Group’s disclosures in respect of the transactions. How our audit addressed it Our audit procedures included: — Evaluating and challenging the reasonableness of key assumptions used in the calculations of the provision; — Checking the mathematical accuracy of the calculations; — Assessing the competency and objectivity of the Environmental Manager who prepared the calculation; — Consider provision movements during the year to ensure they were consistent with our understanding of 65 INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT (CONTINUED) CAPRICORN METALS LTD - annual report to reflect the timing on when the rehabilitation work is likely to occur. the Group’s activities during the year; and — Assessing the adequacy of the Group’s disclosure in the annual financial report in respect of the rehabilitation provision. How our audit addressed it Our audit procedures included: — Evaluating the grant dates based on the terms and conditions of the share- based payment arrangements; — Evaluating the fair values of share- based payment arrangements by understanding and documenting the assumptions used; and — For the specific application of the Black Scholes model, we assessed the experience of the CFO in preparing these calculations. We retested some of the assumptions used in the model and recalculated those fair values using volatility applied in the model to be appropriately reasonable and within industry norms. We also reconciled the vesting of the share-based payment arrangements to disclosures made in both the key management personnel compensation note and the disclosures in the Remuneration Report. SHARE BASED PAYMENTS Area of focus Refer also to notes 1 (k), 1 (w) and 19 The Group has entered into share-based payment arrangements during the year. The options were issued to provide long term incentives for executives and consultants to deliver long term shareholder returns. Participation in the plan was at the board’s discretion and no individual has a contractual right to participate in the plan or to receive any guaranteed benefits. This was a key audit matter because the arrangements required significant judgments and estimations by management, including the following: — The evaluation of the grant date of each arrangement, and the evaluation of the fair value of the underlying share price of the Company as at the grant date; — The evaluation of key inputs into the Black Scholes option pricing model, including the significant judgment of the forecast volatility of the share option over its exercise period. The results of these share-based payment arrangements materially affect the disclosures. 66 INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT (CONTINUED) CAPRICORN METALS LTD - annual report Independent auditor’s report to members (continued) Other Information The directors are responsible for the other information.

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.

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.

Mineral Resources & Ore Reserves Bibra Ore Reserve In April 2020, the Company released an updated reserve and resource statement for the Karlawinda Gold Project (KGP). The JORC 2012 compliant Ore Reserve estimate was updated to 43.5 million tonnes @ 0.9g/t Au for 1,201,000 ounces for the Bibra deposit (including the Southern Corridor pit) at the KGP, compared to the May 2018 Ore Reserve of 27.6 million tonnes at 1.0g/t gold for 892,000 ounces. The 35% increase in the JORC 2012 compliant Ore Reserves estimate has been due to infill drilling at the Bibra deposit and inhouse open-pit optimisations.
