DIRECTORS AND COMPANY SECRETARY Directors The following directors have been in office since the start of the financial year to the date of this report unless otherwise stated: Nathan McMahon Clive Jones Kent Hunter Directors have been in office Company Secretary Mike Robbins 2. PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES The principal activity of the Group during the financial period was mineral exploration. There were no significant changes in the nature of the Group’s principal activities during the financial period. 3. OPERATING RESULTS & FINANCIAL POSITION The Group’s loss after tax for the year was $1,721,210 (2015:$1,388,795). The Group’s net assets at the end of the year are $20,517,095 (2015: $20,640,083). Cash and cash equivalents as at year end were $1,585,592 (2015 - $620,947). Exploration expenditure for the year was $410,439 (2015 - $239,813). The majority of this expenditure was on the Parker Range and McKenzie Springs projects. Exploration expenditure written off for the year was $1,129,248 compared to $1,104,148 in the previous financial year. The main write offs this year were Quartz Springs expenditure of $137,395, Mt Walkins $349,168, Gondwana $273,170, Mt Angelo $50,100 and the previously capitalised expenditures relating to the various tenements that were relinquished during the financial year. Net administration expenses and employee benefits for the year totalled $670,414 (2015 - $883,965). During the next financial year the Group intends to continue to further develop its newly acquired core projects whilst also exploring new key commodity opportunities both in Australia and overseas. These opportunities are being explored by the Board and corporate consultants who operate on a success fee basis only. 4. RISKS There are specific risks associated with the activities of the Group and general risks which are largely beyond the control of the Group and the Directors. The risks identified below, or other risk factors, may have a material impact on the future financial performance of the Group and the market price of the Company’s shares. 2 DIRECTORS’ REPORT Cazaly Resources Limited Annual Report 2016 All mining ventures are exposed to risks and the Group continues to monitor risks associated with current projects whilst also analysing the risks associated with any new mining opportunities. These risks may cover such areas as:  Title Risk This may specifically cover mining tenure whereby country specific mining laws and legislation apply. Any opportunity in Australia and overseas will be subject to particular risks associated with operating in Australia or the respective foreign country. These risks may include economic, social or political instability or change, hyperinflation, currency non-convertibility or instability and changes of law affecting foreign ownership, exchange control, exploration licensing, export duties, investment into a foreign country and repatriation of income or return of capital, environmental protection, land access and environmental regulation, mine safety, labour relations as well as government control over mineral properties or government regulations that require the employment of local staff or contractors or require other benefits be provided to local residents.  Exploration Risk The Directors of the Company realise that mineral exploration and development are high risk undertakings due to the high level of inherent uncertainty. There can be no assurance that exploration of the Group’s tenements, or of any other tenements that may be acquired by the Group in the future, will result in the discovery of economic mineralisation. Even if economic mineralisation is discovered there is no guarantee that it can be commercially exploited. Any future exploration activities of the Group may be affected by a range of factors including geological conditions, limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated operational and technical difficulties, industrial and environmental accidents, native title process, changing government regulations and many other factors beyond the control of the Group.  Resource Estimates The Group’s projects may contain JORC Code compliant resources. There is no guarantee that a JORC Code compliant resource will be discovered on any of the Group’s other tenements. Resource estimates are expressions of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates which were valid when originally calculated may alter significantly when new information or techniques become available. In addition, by their very nature, resource estimates are imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations which may prove to be inaccurate. As further information becomes available through additional fieldwork and analysis the estimates are likely to change. This may result in alterations to development and mining plans which may, in turn, adversely affect the Group’s operations and the value of the Company’s listed shares.  Access Risks – Cultural Heritage and Native Title The Group must comply with various country specific cultural heritage and native title legislation including access agreements which require various commitments, such as base studies and compliant survey work, to be undertaken ahead of the commencement of mining operations. 3 DIRECTORS’ REPORT Cazaly Resources Limited Annual Report 2016 It is possible that some areas of those tenements may not be available for exploration due to cultural heritage and native title legislation or invalid access agreements. The Group may need to obtain the consent of the holders of such interests before commencing activities on affected areas of the tenements. These consents may be delayed or may be given on conditions which are not satisfactory to the Group.  JV and Contractual Risk The Group has and may have additional options where it can increase its holding in the selective assets by achieving or undertaking selected milestones. The Group’s ability to achieve its objectives and earn or maintain an interest in these projects is dependent upon it and the registered holders of those tenements complying with their respective contractual obligations under joint venture agreements in respect of those tenements, and the registered holders complying with the terms and conditions of the tenements and any other relevant legislation.  Economic General economic conditions, introduction of tax reform, new legislation, the general level of activity within the resources industry, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Group’s exploration, development and possible production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.  Market conditions Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s quoted securities regardless of the Group’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as: introduction of tax reform or other new legislation; interest rates and inflation rates; - general economic outlook; - - - changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors; - - the demand for, and supply of, capital; and terrorism or other hostilities. The market price of securities can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general and resource exploration stocks in particular. Neither the Group nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Group or any return on an investment in the Company.  Volatility in Global Credit and Investment Markets Global credit, commodity and investment markets have recently experienced a high degree of uncertainty and volatility. The factors which have led to this situation have been outside the control of the Group and may continue for some time resulting in continued volatility and uncertainty in world stock markets (including the ASX). This may impact the price at which any Listed Options and Shares trade regardless of operating performance and affect the Company’s ability to raise additional equity and/or debt to achieve its objectives, if required. 4 DIRECTORS’ REPORT Cazaly Resources Limited Annual Report 2016  Commodity Price Volatility and Exchange Rates Risks If the Group achieves success leading to mineral production, the revenue it will derive through the sale of gold, iron ore, lithium or any other minerals it may discover exposes the potential income of the Group to commodity price and exchange rate risks. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by many factors beyond the control of the Group. Such factors include supply and demand fluctuations for commodities and metals, technological advancements, forward selling activities and other macro-economic factors such as inflation expectations, interest rates and general global economic conditions. Furthermore, international prices of various commodities are denominated in United States dollars whereas the income and expenditure of the Group are and will be taken into account in Australian currency. This exposes the Group to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the Australian dollar as determined in international markets. If the price of commodities declines this could have an adverse effect on the Group’s exploration, development and possible production activities, and its ability to fund these activities, which may no longer be profitable.  Environmental Risks The operations and proposed activities of the Group are subject to each project’s jurisdiction, laws and regulations concerning the environment. As with most exploration projects and mining operations, the Group’s activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or mine development proceeds. Future legislation and regulations governing exploration, development and possible production may impose significant environmental obligations on the Group. The cost and complexity of complying with the applicable environmental laws and regulations may prevent the Group from being able to develop potential economically viable mineral deposits. The Group may require approval from the relevant authorities before it can undertake activities that are likely to impact the environment. Failure to obtain such approvals or to obtain them on terms acceptable to the Group may prevent the Group from undertaking its desired activities. The Group is unable to predict the effect of additional environmental laws and regulations, which may be adopted in the future, including whether any such laws or regulations would materially increase the Group’s cost of doing business or affect its operations in any area. There can be no assurances that new environmental laws, regulations or stricter enforcement policies, once implemented, will not oblige the Group to incur significant expenses and undertake significant investments in such respect which could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s business, financial condition and results of operations.  Sovereign and Political Risk The Company has an 80% interest in two uranium project applications in the Czech Republic. foreign ownership, exchange control, exploration The Company’s interests in the Czech Republic are subject to the risks associated with operating in a foreign country. These risks may include economic, social or political instability or change, hyperinflation, currency non-convertibility or instability and changes of law affecting licensing, export duties, investment into a foreign country and repatriation of income or return of capital, environmental protection, land access and environmental regulation, mine safety, labour relations as well as government control over petroleum properties or government regulations that require the employment of local staff or contractors or require other benefits be provided to local residents. 5 DIRECTORS’ REPORT Cazaly Resources Limited Annual Report 2016 The Company may also be hindered or preventing from enforcing its rights with respect to government instrumentalities because of the doctrine of sovereign immunity. Any future material adverse changes in government policies or legislation in the Czech Republic that affect ownership, development or mining activities, may affect the viability and profitability of the Company. The legal system operating in the Czech Republic is different to that in Australia and this may result in risks such as:  Different forms of legal redress in the courts whether in respect of a breach of law or regulation, or in ownership dispute.  A higher degree of discretion on the part of governmental agencies.  Differences in political and administrative guidance on implementing applicable rules and regulations including, in particular, as regards local taxation and property rights.  Different attitudes of the judiciary and court.  Difficult in enforcing judgments. The commitment by local business people, government officials and agencies and the judicial system to abide by legal requirements and negotiated agreements may be more uncertain, creating particular concerns with respect to licences and agreements for business. These may be susceptible to revision or cancellation and legal redress may be uncertain or delayed. There can be no assurance that joint ventures, licences, licence applications or other legal arrangements will not be adversely affected by the actions of government authorities or others and the effectiveness and enforcement of such arrangements cannot be assured. Further, there is no guarantee that any applications for tenements will be granted or granted on conditions satisfactory to the Company. The Company’s future operations in the Czech Republic may be affected by changing political conditions and changes to laws and petroleum and/or mining policies. The effects of these factors cannot be accurately predicted and developments may impede the operation or development of a project or even render it uneconomic. The above risks are not exhaustive but are the minimum exposure areas observed by the Group. 5. DIVIDENDS PAID OR RECOMMENDED The Directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend and no amount has been paid or declared by way of a dividend to the date of this report. 6. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS Projects Mt Venn Gold Project (100% CAZ) On 20 May 2016, the Company acquired all the shares in private exploration company Yamarna West Pty Ltd. Yamarna Wests’ key asset is exploration licence application E38/3111 which covers the majority of the Mount Venn greenstone belt located in the north-eastern goldfields of Western Australia. The Company then added to this position by the application of a further contiguous exploration licence (E38/3150) which increased this land holding to control ~90% of the belt over ~50km. The Mount Venn project is located 125 km northeast of Laverton and just 40 km west of Gold Road Resources’ (’GOR’) Gruyere gold deposit (148 Mt @ 1.30 g/t Au for 6.16M oz per GOR announcement dated 22 April 2016). 6 DIRECTORS’ REPORT Cazaly Resources Limited Annual Report 2016 The belt lies adjacent to the boundary between the Burtville and Yamarna Terranes and has many similarities with the Dorothy Hills greenstone belt which hosts Gruyere. Gruyere is located on an inflection of the NW striking Dorothy Hills Shear, a first order structure transecting much of the belt and into which an internal granite, the Gruyere Porphyry (host to the gold mineralisation), has intruded. The Mount Venn belt also contains major shears and internal granites which are being targeted by the Company. Cazaly  Tenure  Figure 1: Location of the Mount Venn Project The Mount Venn belt is probably one of the most under explored greenstone belts for gold regional scale in Western Australia. Whilst geochemical surface geophysical programmes have been undertaken in the past the focus has been on nickel and base metal exploration and there has been almost no systematic drilling undertaken for gold. and The Company has completed reprocessing of regional geophysics, re-assessed geochemical datasets and has commenced developing models targeting gold mineralisation within the belt. Preliminary assessment of this data has highlighted extensive areas considered highly prospective for gold mineralisation. This work has largely been based upon anomalous gold and pathfinder geochemistry in association with favourable lithologies and structural positions defined from geophysics and previous mapping and in areas with little to no systematic historic drilling having been conducted. The Company recently signed a Native Title Agreement with the Yilka People and the Cosmo Newberry Aboriginal Corporation which covers the project area. Goldfields Lithium Alliance (“GLiA”, CAZ 50%/LIT 50%) their In May 2016, Cazaly and Lithium Australia to Limited (ASX:LIT) signed an agreement combine the exploration and development of pegmatite minerals the Goldfields region of Western Australia (“the Alliance”). respective holdings lithium minerals including for in Figure 2: Location of the Goldfields Lithium Alliance to to offer The agreement includes the obligation for both to parties pegmatite minerals over any existing or additional ground secured within a 100km radius of Kalgoorlie for an initial period of 5 years. the Alliance rights 7 DIRECTORS’ REPORT Cazaly Resources Limited Annual Report 2016 The Alliance immediately granted Cazaly 50% of LIT’s rights to the Coolgardie Rare Metals Venture (CRMV) which is contiguous with the Company’s recently announced Kangaroo Hills Lithium Project (CAZ ASX release 13 April 2016). The CRMV is a LIT initiative with Focus Minerals Limited (ASX:FML) and includes the historic lithium production centres of the Lepidolite Hill and Tantalite Hill mines. Under LIT’s terms of its agreement with FML, LIT has the rights to all metals derived from pegmatites on the property and will free-carry FML a 20% interest until a decision is made to commit to feasibility. Under the Alliance agreement CAZ will not be liable for any costs associated with metallurgical testwork or feasibility studies for the CRMV which are to be borne solely by LIT. LIT has been conducting metallurgical studies over material from Lepidolite Hill and has announced plans for bulk sampling of mine waste dumps from Lepidolite Hill to further test its 100% owned Sileachtm extraction. Further ground was added to the GLiA via the acquisition of the rights to ‘Pegmatite Minerals’ in the Widgiemooltha pegmatite field located ~45km south east of Coolgardie and 25km south of the globally significant Mount Marion Lithium Project (60.5Mt @ 1.36% Li2O; NMT:ASX Announcement 5th July 2016; “Mineral Resource Estimate increases 160% to 60.5Mt”) (Figure 2). The Widgiemooltha Project contains extensive pegmatites mapped by the Geological Survey of Western Australia (“GSWA”) and are part of what appears to be a significant dyke swarm in the area. Pegmatites are the primary hard rock host for lithium minerals, including spodumene and lepidolite, mined globally and being targeted at Mount Marion. Cobalt Projects (CAZ 100%)  The Company has also applied for Exploration Permits in both Queensland and New South Wales covering historic workings and prospects with recorded significant cobalt and manganese mineralisation. Cobalt is seeing a resurgence given its role as a key battery metal alongside of graphite and lithium. Cobalt is present in lithium-ion batteries in the lithium cobaltite cathodes used in smartphones, and also with lithium-nickel-manganese-cobalt and lithium-nickel-cobalt-aluminium oxide cathodes which are both used in laptops and electric vehicles. Cobalt supply is currently constrained as it is typically a by-product from nickel and copper mining both of which are in current decline. This, combined with the predicted escalation in demand from the lithium battery market, sees cobalt as being a particularly vulnerable component of the supply chain for battery manufacturers. Battery cell manufacturers who have secure cobalt supply chains will have a critical advantage over their competitors. covers application In Queensland, the Mount Tabor project licence lies to the north west of Injune and approximately 130km directly north of Mitchell in south-central Queensland. The Jurassic sediments of the intra-cratonic Surat Basin and includes a series of Tertiary mafic intrusives. Manganese rich pods occur sporadically throughout the area and are found to contain appreciable amounts of potentially economic cobalt. Figure 3: Analysis of Bulk Samples, Mt Manganese (Mineral Deposits  8 DIRECTORS’ REPORT Cazaly Resources Limited Annual Report 2016 Some of these pods were explored initially by Mineral Deposits Limited (‘MDL’) from 1979-1982 and then by Cobalt Resources NL (‘CRL’) in the 1990’s with further work more recently conducted by Maranoa Resources Limited (‘MRL’). This work highlighted cobalt mineralisation over several prospects; Mt Manganese, Mt Gould, Alpha, Mt Bally-Lethbridge, Mt Emily and Carnarvon extending over an area of approximately 20km within the licence. Of particular interest is the Mt Manganese prospect where several grab samples assaying over 1% Co were returned (MRL report Annual Report for EPM14261, October 2010). MDL drilled 62 percussion holes and estimated a resource. CRN drilled a further 139 holes, estimated a resource and carried out preliminary metallurgical studies that confirmed that several leachants, including sulphuric acid, alkaline cyanide and ammonia may be suitable for treating the mineralisation. MRL developed a new genetic model for the mineralisation however, due to the depressed market for cobalt at the time, the licence was relinquished. In New South Wales, the Bungonia project permit is located ~40 kilometres south east of Goulburn and covers ~240 square kilometres on the eastern edge of the Lachlan Fold Belt. The Goulburn region hosts various styles of mineralisation including base metals, gold, tin, tungsten, manganese, cobalt and nickel. and cobalt significant Previous exploration defined several areas of nickel mineralisation some of which have been historically mined as early as the 1890’s. is Cobalt-Nickel-Copper mineralisation associated with intense deep weathering of mafic or other metal rocks associated with manganiferous deposits beneath basalt flows. This is akin to the mineralisation also observed at the Company’s Mount Tabor Cobalt project in Queensland. rich Of the prospects, primary areas of interest include the Jacapa prospect where rock chip samples returned several assays >1% cobalt from manganiferous grits whilst at Brooklyn similar mineralised grits were observed extending for over 700m. Figure 4: Location of the Bungonia Cobalt Project Metallurgical test work previously undertaken was also positive with excellent recoveries of 83.2% cobalt, 79.5% copper and 85.9% nickel returned from acid leaching of a 80 kilogram sample containing 1.15% cobalt, 0.39% copper and 0.26% nickel (North Broken Hill Pty Ltd - GS1980/315). In 2009 an assessment of the Main (No.1) Bungonia South Cobalt Deposits and surrounds concluded that there was good potential for further discoveries of significant cobalt mineralisation within the project, however no further work was completed. Parker Range Iron Ore Project (CAZ 100%) Despite the relatively low iron ore price, the Company continues to seek avenues to commence the development of the Parker Range iron ore project. The Parker Range project is the only “mine ready” iron ore deposit in the region not currently in operation. Parker Range has a fully completed definitive feasibility study and all key approvals are in place to commence development. 9 DIRECTORS’ REPORT Cazaly Resources Limited Annual Report 2016 McKenzie Springs Nickel/Graphite Project (CAZ 100%) Located immediately south & along strike of the Savannah Nickel Mine (Panoramic Resources Ltd), Kimberley, WA. Prospective ultramafic basal contact extends for ~15km. Limited historic work, High grade gossan samples returned 12.8% Cu, 1.92% Ni, 0.17% Co. The project also lies adjacent to Hexagon Resources Limited’s MacIntosh Graphite Project which has an Indicated and Inferred resource of 17.2Mt @ 4.63% Total Graphitic Carbon for 797,200t of contained graphite. Reconnaissance work at McKenzie Springs by the Company discovered an outcropping graphitic schist unit and identified further evidence of graphite bearing units associated with high grade metamorphic rocks of the Tickalara Metamorphic suite which trend throughout the tenement for ~15 kilometres. This is the same unit hosting Hexagon’s Resources Limited’s neighbouring Macintosh Graphite Project. Czech Republic Uranium Project (CAZ 80%) Cazaly has two uranium project applications, Brzkov & Horni Venice, which are located in the Czech Republic. The State mining enterprise, Diamo, is closing the country’s only operating uranium mine & has publicly indicated an interest in mining at Brzkov. Halls Creek Copper Project (CAZ 20%/DDD 80%) The Company has an agreement with 3D Resources Limited (‘DDD’) to earn up to a 75% interest in the Halls Creek Copper Project, located in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. The Halls Creek Project comprises a large package of six tenements covering an area of approximately 298 km², near the township of Halls Creek covering part of the Halls Creek Mobile Zone which is highly prospective for a range of commodities including base metals, gold, diamonds and nickel. Corporate On 22 December 2015, the Company announced the completion of a book build for a share placement at an issue price of $0.03 per Share to raise approximately $205,000. The placement included a free attaching unlisted Option (exercisable at $0.04 with a two (2) year expiry date from issue) on the basis of one Option for every two Shares subscribed for. On the same date, it was also announced that Directors, Mr Nathan McMahon and Mr Clive Jones, had advanced the Company a total of $200,000 in debt funds by way of two convertible notes. The principal terms of the convertible notes were designed to mirror the placement terms. As such, each convertible note carried no coupon rate, was unsecured and was convertible at $0.03 with a free attaching Option on the basis of one option for every two shares converted. The maximum number of shares and options that could have been issued, upon conversion, was therefore 6,666,666 and 3,333,334 respectively. The issue of shares and options to Mr McMahon and Mr Jones was approved by shareholders at the general meeting held on 12 August 2016. On 20 May 2016, Cazaly announced the completion of a placement to sophisticated and professional investors to raise $1,450,000. The issue price of the fully paid ordinary Shares was $0.065 per Share. The placement included a free attaching listed option (exercisable at $0.11 with a two (2) year expiry date from issue) on the basis of one Option for every two Shares subscribed for. The placement shares were issued from the Company’s available capacity available under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. The issue of the free attaching listed option was subject to the receipt of shareholder approval, which was granted at the general meeting held on 12 August 2016. 10   DIRECTORS’ REPORT Cazaly Resources Limited Annual Report 2016 7. FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS, PROSPECTS AND BUSINESS STRATEGIES The Group will continue its mineral exploration activity at and around its exploration projects with the object of identifying commercial resources. The Group has continued to reduce its tenement holdings but is also focussed on sourcing key commodity projects. 8. SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN STATE OF AFFAIRS There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the financial year. 9. AFTER BALANCE DATE EVENTS On 23 August 2016, the Company issued the following equities:  2,500,000 fully paid ordinary shares, 2,500,000 unlisted options exercisable at $0.144 on or before 22 August 2019 and 2,500,000 unlisted options exercisable at $0.216 on or before 22 August 2020 (issued to the vendor in relation to the Mt Venn purchase); and  1,538,462 fully paid ordinary shares (issued to the vendor in relation to Widgiemooltha purchase) On the same date, Mr McMahon and Mr Jones both converted their individual convertible note into a combined total of 6,666,666 fully paid ordinary shares and 3,333,334 unlisted options exercisable at $0.04 on or before 5 January 2018. Apart from the above, the Directors are not aware of any matters or circumstances at the date of the report, other than those referred to in this report or the financial statements or notes thereto, that has significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations, the results of operations or the state of affairs of the Group in subsequent financial years. 10. ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES The Group’s exploration activities are subject to the 1978 (WA) Mining Act. The Group has a policy of complying with or exceeding its environmental performance obligations. The Board of Cazaly believes that the Group has adequate systems in place for the management of its environmental requirements. The Group aims to ensure the appropriate standard of environmental care is achieved, and in doing so, that it is aware of and is in compliance with all environmental legislation. The Directors are not aware of any breach of environmental legislation for the financial year under review. 11.

REMUNERATION REPORT - AUDITED This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each director of the Company. Remuneration Policy The remuneration policy of Cazaly has been designed to align director objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component which is assessed on an annual basis in line with market rates. 12 DIRECTORS’ REPORT Cazaly Resources Limited Annual Report 2016 12. REMUNERATION REPORT – AUDITED (Cont’d) The Board of the Company believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best directors to run and manage the company, as well as create goal congruence between directors and shareholders. The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for board members is set out below. The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior staff members, was developed by the managing directors and approved by the board after seeking professional advice from independent external consultants. In determining competitive remuneration rates, the Board seeks independent advice on local and international trends among comparative companies and industry generally. It examines terms and conditions for employee incentive schemes benefit plans and share plans. Independent advice is obtained to confirm that executive remuneration is in line with market practice and is reasonable in the context of Australian executive reward practices. The Group is exploration and development focussed, and therefore speculative in terms of performance. Consistent with attracting and retaining talented executives, directors and senior executives are paid market rates associated with individuals in similar positions, within the same industry. The Board acquired and were issued shares as part of the terms of the Initial Public Offer in 2003. Board members have retained these securities which assist in aligning their objectives with overall shareholder value. Options and performance incentives will be issued in the event that the entity moves from an exploration entity to a producing entity, and key performance indicators such as profits and growth can be used as measurements for assessing Board performance. All remuneration paid to directors is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed or carried forward on the balance sheet for time that is attributable to exploration and evaluation. Options are valued using the Black-Scholes methodology. The Board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The managing directors in consultation with independent advisors determine payments to the non-executive directors and review their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Fees for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the Company. However, to align directors’ interests with shareholder interests, all directors are encouraged to hold shares in the company. Company Performance, Shareholder Wealth and Directors’ and Executives’ Remuneration The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase goal congruence between shareholders and directors and executives. This has been achieved by the issue of shares to the majority of the directors and executives to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interest. 13 DIRECTORS’ REPORT Cazaly Resources Limited Annual Report 2016 12. REMUNERATION REPORT – AUDITED (Cont’d) Employment Contracts of Directors and Senior Executives The employment conditions of the Managing Directors are each formalised in contracts of employment. These contracts commenced on 1 July 2010 and have 3 year terms (with an option for a 3 year extension). The contracts provide Messrs. McMahon and Jones with annual salaries of $180,000 each. The Company may terminate these agreements at any time and without prior notice if serious misconduct has occurred. In this event only the fixed proportion of the remuneration is payable and only up until the date of the termination. There is no formal contract in place for the non-executive director, Kent Hunter.

REMUNERATION REPORT – AUDITED (Cont’d) Related Party Information Transactions between related parties are on commercial terms and conditions, no more favourable than those available to other parties unless otherwise stated. Remuneration (excluding the reimbursement of costs) received or receivable by the directors of the Company and aggregate amounts paid to superannuation plans in connection with the retirement of directors are disclosed in Note 4 to the accounts. During the financial year, two directors of the Company, Mr Nathan McMahon and Mr Clive Jones, advanced the Company a total of $200,000 in debt funds by way of the issue of two convertible notes. The principal terms of the convertible notes were designed to mirror the placement terms offered to sophisticated and professional investors in the December 2015 placement. As such, each convertible note carried no coupon rate, was unsecured and was convertible at $0.03 with a free attaching Option on the basis of one option for every two shares converted. The maximum number of shares and options that could have been issued, upon conversion, was therefore 6,666,666 and 3,333,334 respectively. The issue of shares and options to Mr McMahon and Mr Jones was approved by shareholders at the general meeting held on 12 August 2016 and the shares and options issued on 23 August 2016. During the financial years ended 30 June 2016 and 30 June 2015, Mr McMahon was a director and shareholder of Hodges Resources Limited (“Hodges”) and Dempsey Minerals Limited (“Dempsey”). Hodges and Dempsey had an agreement in place, based on normal commercial terms and conditions, to reimburse the Company for office rental and administration and overheads. This agreement expired on 31 May 2016. Aggregate amounts of each of the above transactions for the financial year were as follows:  Hodges Resources Limited  Dempsey Minerals Limited 2016 $ 45,128 47,765 92,893 2015 $ 56,084 39,980 96,064 Receivable amounts outstanding at year end were as follows:  Hodges Resources Limited  Dempsey Minerals Limited 132,432 38,157 83,705 - Key Management Personnel (KMP) Shareholdings The number of ordinary shares in Cazaly Resources Limited held by each KMP of the Company during the financial year is as follows: 30 June 2016 N McMahon C Jones K Hunter Balance 01-07-15 Granted as Remuneration Options Exercised Net Change Other Balance 30-06-16 17,701,154 10,075,114 212,501 27,988,769 - - - - - - - - 3,921,612 1,071,457 - 4,993,069 21,622,766 11,146,571 212,501 32,981,838 15 DIRECTORS’ REPORT Cazaly Resources Limited Annual Report 2016 12.

The Company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM regarding its remuneration practices. As the Company received votes against its Remuneration Report representing greater than 25% of the votes cast by persons entitled to vote a first strike was received for remuneration report purposes. The Board take shareholder concerns about executive remuneration seriously and reviewed their remuneration policy. There has been no increase in executive director salaries since 2007 and no increase in non-executive director fees since 2010. The Board remains confident that the remuneration policy and the level and structure of its executive remuneration are suitable for the company and its shareholders.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES These consolidated financial statements and notes represent those of Cazaly Resources Limited (‘the Company’ or ‘Cazaly’) and Controlled Entities (‘the Group’). Cazaly Resources Limited is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The financial statements were authorised for issue on 30 September 2016 by the directors of the Company. Basis of Preparation The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. The Group is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards. Australian Accounting Standards set out in accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in financial statements containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated. These financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non- current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. Going Concern The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Group incurred a loss after tax for the year of $1,721,210 (2015: $1,388,795) and net cash outflows from operating activities of $1,461,991 (2015: $1,430,008). There was a working capital surplus of $1,244,141 at 30 June 2016 compared to a surplus of $212,982 at 30 June 2015. Pending the outcome of various applications, the Group could have lease and exploration commitments of $528,439 (2015: $2,463,436) due within the next twelve months. The directors have prepared a cash flow forecast, which indicates that the Group will have sufficient cash flows to meet all commitments and working capital requirements for the 12 month period from the date of signing this financial report. Based on the cash flow forecasts and other factors referred to above, the directors are satisfied that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate because: - - - the Directors have an appropriate plan to raise additional funds as and when it is required. In light of the Group’s current exploration projects, the Directors believe that the additional capital required can be raised in the market; and the Directors have an appropriate plan to contain certain operating and exploration expenditure if appropriate funding is unavailable; and the Directors will divest its interest in financial assets held for trading as and when required to fund ongoing expenditure. 24 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Cazaly Resources Limited Annual Report 2016 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) Should the Group not achieve the matters set out above, there is material uncertainty whether the Group will continue as a going concern and therefore whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report. The financial report does not contain any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or to the amounts or classification of recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not be able to continue as going concern. (a) Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by the Company at the end of the reporting period. A controlled entity is any entity over which the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from the entity’s activities. Control will generally exist when the parent owns, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, more than half of the voting power of an entity. In assessing the power to govern, the existence and effect of holdings of actual and potential voting rights are also considered. Where controlled entities have entered or left the Group during the year, the financial performance of those entities are included only for the period of the year that they were controlled. A list of controlled entities, as at 30 June 2016 is contained in Note 22 to the financial statements. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-group balances and transactions between entities in the Group have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with those adopted by the Company. Non-controlling interests, being the equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent, are shown separately within the Equity section of the consolidated Statement of Financial Position and Statement of Profit or Loss and other Comprehensive Income. The non- controlling interest in the net assets comprises their interests at the date of the original business combination and their share of changes in equity since that date. (b) Plant and Equipment Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts. (c) Depreciation Depreciation is provided on plant and equipment. Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis so as to write off the net cost or other revalued amount of each asset over its expected useful life to its estimated residual value. The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are: Class of Fixed Asset Plant and equipment Office furniture and equipment Motor vehicle Depreciation Rate 40.0% 18.0% 22.5% 25 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Cazaly Resources Limited Annual Report 2016 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each 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. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the Statement of Profit or Loss and other Comprehensive Income. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings. (d) Exploration, Evaluation and Development Expenditure Costs incurred during exploration and evaluations relating to an area of interest are accumulated. Costs are carried forward to the extent they are expected to be recouped through successful development, or by sale, or where exploration and evaluation activities have not yet reached a stage to allow a reasonable assessment regarding the existence of economically recoverable reserves. In these instances the entity must have rights of tenure to the area of interest and must be continuing to undertake exploration operations in the area. Accumulated costs carried forward in respect of an area of interest that is abandoned 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 will be 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 of interest. Costs of site restoration are provided 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 clauses of the mining permits. Such costs have been estimated of future costs, current legal requirements and technology on an undiscounted basis. (e) Leases Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the legal ownership, are transferred to entities in the consolidated group are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term. Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred. (f) Financial Instruments Initial Recognition and Measurement Financial instruments, incorporating financial assets and financial liabilities, are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Trade date accounting is adopted for financial assets that are delivered within timeframes established by marketplace convention. 26 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Cazaly Resources Limited Annual Report 2016 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs, except where the instrument is classified as “at fair value through profit or loss”, in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Classification and Subsequent Measurement Finance instruments are subsequently measured at either of fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, or cost. Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models. Amortised cost is the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition less principal repayments and any reduction for impairment, and adjusted for any cumulative amortisation of the difference between that initial amounts calculated using the effective interest method. 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 carrying 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 interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint venture entities as being subject to the requirements of accounting standards specifically applicable to financial instruments. (i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets classified as held for trading are included in the category ‘financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term. Derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Gains or losses on investments held for trading are recognised in profit or loss. (ii) Held-to-maturity investments Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are classified as held-to-maturity when the Group has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Investments that are intended to be held-to-maturity, such as bonds, are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Held-to-maturity investments are included in non-current assets, except for those which are expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. (All other investments are classified as current assets.) (iii) Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process. Loans and receivables are included in current assets, except for those which are not expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. (All other loans and receivables are classified as non-current assets). 27 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Cazaly Resources Limited Annual Report 2016 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) (iv) Available-for-sale investments Available-for-sale investments are those non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale or are not classified as any of the three preceding categories. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments. They are subsequently measured at fair value with gains or losses being recognised in other comprehensive is impairment derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss pertaining to that asset previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified into profit or loss. income (except financial asset losses). When the for Available-for-sale financial assets are included in non-current assets where they are expected to be sold within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. All other financial assets are classified as current assets. (v) Financial liabilities Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Impairment At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Also, any cumulative decline in fair value previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss at this point. Financial guarantees Where material, financial guarantees issued, which require the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due, are recognised as a financial liability at fair value on initial recognition. The Group has no such financial guarantees. De-recognition Financial assets are de-recognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are de-recognised where the related obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired. 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. (g) 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, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position. 28 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Cazaly Resources Limited Annual Report 2016 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) (h) Trade and Other Receivables Trade receivables, which generally have 30-90 day terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An allowance for doubtful debts is made when there is objective evidence that the entity will not be able to collect the debts. Bad debts are written off when identified. (i) Revenue and Other Income Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery of goods to customers. Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets. Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST). (j) Impairment of Assets At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information including dividends received from subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities deemed to be out of pre-acquisition profits. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount in accordance with another standard (eg in accordance with the revaluation model in AASB 116). Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease in accordance with that other standard. 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. Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives. (k) 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 (“ATO”). 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. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the statement of financial position. Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating cash flows. (l) Taxation The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income). Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority. 29 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Cazaly Resources Limited Annual Report 2016 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well unused tax losses. Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability. Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised. Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled. Tax Consolidation Cazaly and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under tax consolidation legislation. Each entity in the group recognises its own current and deferred tax assets and liabilities. Such taxes are measured using the ‘stand-alone taxpayer’ approach to allocation. Current tax liabilities (assets) and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and tax credits in the subsidiaries are immediately transferred to the head entity. (m) Trade and Other Payables Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised costs and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the company prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the company becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. 30 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Cazaly Resources Limited Annual Report 2016 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) (n) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at 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. (o) Equity Based Payments The Group operates equity-settled share-based payment employee share and option schemes. The fair value of the equity to which employees become entitled is measured at grant date and recognised as an expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase to an equity account. Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the good or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. The corresponding amount is shown in the option reserve. The fair value of shares is ascertained as the market bid price. The fair value of options is ascertained using a Black–Scholes pricing model which incorporates all market vesting conditions. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period such that the amount recognised for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest. (p) Issued Capital 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. (q) Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is calculated as net earnings attributable to members, adjusted to exclude costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for an bonus element. Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net earnings attributable to members, adjusted for costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends; the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that would have been recognised as expenses; and other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares; divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element. (r) Employee Benefits Provision is made for the Group’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the end of the reporting period. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. 31 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Cazaly Resources Limited Annual Report 2016 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) (s) Interest 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. 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:      its assets, including its share of any assets held jointly; its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly; its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation; its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation; and its expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly. The Group accounts for the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses relating to its interest in a joint operation in accordance with the AASBs applicable to the particular assets, liabilities, revenues 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) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected. The directors evaluate estimates and judgments 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. Key Judgements –Exploration and evaluation expenditure Exploration and evaluation costs are carried forward where right of tenure of the area of interest is current. These costs are carried forward in respect of an area that has not at balance sheet date reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves, refer to the accounting policy stated in note 1(d). Key Judgements - Share based payment transactions The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an internal valuation using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. 32 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Cazaly Resources Limited Annual Report 2016 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) Key Judgments – Environmental issues Balances disclosed in the financial statements and notes thereto are not adjusted for any pending or enacted environmental legislation, and the directors understanding thereof. At the current stage of the company’s development and its current environmental impact the directors believe such treatment is reasonable and appropriate. Key Estimate – Taxation Balances disclosed in the financial statements and the notes thereto, related to taxation, are based on the best estimates of directors. These estimates take into account both the financial performance and position of the company as they pertain to current income taxation legislation, and the directors understanding thereof. No adjustment has been made for pending or future taxation legislation. The current income tax position represents that directors’ best estimate, pending an assessment by the Australian Taxation Office. (u) Fair value measurements The Group measures and recognises the asset, ‘Financial assets held for trading’ at fair value on a recurring basis after initial recognition. The Group does not subsequently measure any liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis. (i) Fair Value Hierarchy AASB 13: Fair Value Measurement requires the disclosure of fair value information by level of the fair value hierarchy, which categorises fair value measurements into one of three possible levels based on the lowest level that an input that is significant to the measurement can be categorised into as follows: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Measurements based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. Measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Measurements based on unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data. If all significant inputs required to measure fair value are observable, the asset or liability is included in Level 2. If one or more significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the asset or liability is included in Level 3. 33 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Cazaly Resources Limited Annual Report 2016 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) (ii) Valuation techniques The Company selects a valuation technique that is appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available to measure fair value. The availability of sufficient and relevant data primarily depends on the specific characteristics of the asset or liability being measured. The valuation technique selected by the Company is the Market approach whereby valuation techniques use prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions for identical or similar assets or liabilities. When selecting a valuation technique, the Company gives priority to those techniques that maximise the use of observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs. Inputs that are developed using market data (such as publicly available information on actual transactions) and reflect the assumptions that buyers and sellers would generally use when pricing the asset or liability are considered observable, whereas inputs for which market data is not available and therefore are developed using the best information available about such assumptions are considered unobservable. The following table provides the fair values of the Company’s assets and liabilities measured and recognised on a recurring basis after initial recognition and their categorisation within the fair value hierarchy: 30 June 2016 Note Level 1 $ Level 2 $ Level 3 $ Total $ Recurring fair value measurements Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: - held-for-trading Australian listed shares Recurring fair value measurements Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: - held-for-trading Australian listed shares 264,530 - - 264,530 30 June 2015 Note Level 1 $ Level 2 $ Level 3 $ Total $ 316,790 - - 316,790 34 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Cazaly Resources Limited Annual Report 2016 1.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (4,355,599) (1,719,741) 3,898 (6,071,442) (3,225,381) (1,384,856) 254,638 (4,355,599) The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables, held-for-trading investments, cash and short-term deposits. The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the oversight and management of the Group’s exposure to a variety of financial risks (including fair value interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate risk). The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. Interest rate risks The Group’s exposure to market interest rates relates to cash deposits held at variable rates. The Board constantly analyses its interest rate exposure. Within this analysis consideration is given to potential renewals of existing positions. Credit risk The maximum exposure to credit risk at balance date is the carrying amount (net of provision of doubtful debts) of those assets as disclosed in the Statement of Financial Position and notes to the financial statements. The Consolidated group has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Group’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties. 42 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Cazaly Resources Limited Annual Report 2016 18. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Cont’d) Credit risk related to balances with banks and other financial institutions is managed by the board. The board’s policy requires that surplus funds are only invested with counterparties with a Standard & Poor’s rating of at least A+. All of the Group’s surplus funds are invested with AA and A+ Rated financial institutions, the amount is $1,585,592 (2015: $620,947). Liquidity risk The responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors. The Consolidated group manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash or credit facilities to meet the operating requirements of the business and investing excess funds in highly liquid short term investments. Market risk Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.

All financial instruments measured at fair value are level one, meaning fair value is determined from quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Sensitivity Analysis Interest Rate Risk The Company has performed sensitivity analysis relating to its exposure to interest rate risk at balance date. This sensitivity analysis demonstrates the effect on the current year results and equity which could result from a change in these risks. Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis At 30 June 2016, the effect on loss as a result of changes in the interest rate, with all other variables remaining constant would be as follows: Change in loss Increase in interest rate by 100 basis points   Decrease in interest rate by 100 basis points Change in equity Increase in interest rate by 100 basis points   Decrease in interest rate by 100 basis points 19.

If the Group decides to relinquish certain leases and/or does not meet these obligations, assets recognised in the statement of financial position may require review to determine the appropriateness of carrying values. The sale, transfer or farm-out of exploration rights to third parties will reduce or extinguish these obligations. 22.

The Group is managed primarily on the basis of its exploration and corporate activities. Operating segments are therefore determined on the same basis. Exploration Segment assets, including acquisition cost of exploration licenses, all expenses related to the tenements and profit on sale of tenements are reported on in this segment. Segment assets Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated to the segment that receives the majority of economic value from the asset. In the majority of instances, segment assets are clearly identifiable on the basis of their nature and physical location. Unless indicated otherwise in the segment assets note, deferred tax assets and intangible assets have not been allocated to operating segments. Segment liabilities Liabilities are allocated to segments where there is direct nexus between the incurrence of the liability and the operations of the segment. Borrowings and tax liabilities are generally considered to relate to the Group as a whole and are not allocated. Segment liabilities include trade and other payables. 46 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Cazaly Resources Limited Annual Report 2016 23.

On behalf of the Directors Nathan McMahon Managing Director Perth, 30 September 2016 50 Independent Auditor's Report To the Members of Cazaly Resources Limited We have audited the accompanying financial report of Cazaly Resources Limited (“the Company”) and Controlled Entities (“the Consolidated Entity”), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2016, and the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the Consolidated Entity, comprising the Company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year. 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 Note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standards AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statements, that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view 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 entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Independent Auditor’s Report To the Members of Cazaly Resources Limited (Continued) Independence In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. Opinion In our opinion: a. The financial report of Cazaly Resources Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: i. giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2016 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and ii. complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001; b. The financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 1. Emphasis of Matter – Going Concern Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report which indicates that the Consolidated Entity incurred a loss of $1,721,210. This condition, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Consolidated Entity to continue as a going concern and whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report. Report on the Remuneration Report We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2016. 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.
