Located on freehold land approximately 120 kms north-north east of Perth, the Caravel Copper Project is situated between the Wheatbelt towns of Calingiri and Wongan Hills and is well connected to established infrastructure (Figure 1). The Caravel Copper Project is held under 11 exploration licences comprising around 200 square km. This year, the Company started its most significant work program since the 2016 release of the Scoping Study. This work aims to improve understanding of the resource, mining and processing options and advance the key project requirements, moving the project into a Pre-Feasibility phase. The Company has a new Board and Management with strong project development experience leading the project development and feasibility studies. Advancing the feasibility studies will demonstrate the potential value of the Caravel Copper Project as a long-life, low-cost operation which can generate substantial value to all stakeholders including shareholders and local communities.

CARAVEL MINERALS ANNUAL REPORT 2018 1 2018 HIGHLIGHTS New Management team and Board appointed in May 2018 Stakeholder and community engagement with key groups Bulk ore sorting test work was carried out showing potential to increase the head grade and lower the throughput to the process plant Successful raising of $1.5M (after costs) of a partially underwritten, non- renounceable rights issue Commencement of core drilling program and confirmation of higher-grade ore zones at Bindi and Dasher Drilling identified potentially large new mineralised system at Dasher East Drilling confirmed extensions of mineralisation at Opie deposit Commencement of work programs and studies including new resource modelling, metallurgical test work, engineering studies, infrastructure studies, groundwater supply studies, land tenure, social and environmental studies 2 caravelminerals.com.au CHAIRMAN’S LETTER I am very pleased to share with you the substantial advancement of your company this year, my first as Chairman of Caravel Minerals. Your Company has undergone significant changes in the past year and now has a new Board and management team following major changes to the Board in May. The new management team comprises experienced project developers who have a clear goal of developing the Caravel Copper Project. Work is underway on new feasibility studies and permitting to advance the project to the Pre-Feasibility Stage. A new work program initiated this year has been core drilling at our Bindi and Dasher deposits. This has delivered very positive results confirming higher- grade zones of copper within the current resource. These results will allow new geological and resource modelling which will in turn be used to develop new mining scenarios, with potential for significant improvements to current economics. At the time of writing this report, the drilling program is still ongoing and will continue for the remainder of the year. In addition to the technical studies program the Company has commenced engagement with the wide range of other stakeholders that would be involved in project development, ranging from local landholders and shire administrations through to the various government agencies and regulators. The Company places great importance on relationships with these parties and has been very pleased to have received positive engagement in all interactions to date. To support the new work programs and higher levels of activity the Company recently undertook an equity raising to fund both the drilling program and new feasibility studies. This fund raising was well supported by existing shareholders and a number of new shareholders, most of whom have some direct connection to the project as contractors or stakeholders. The growing network of shareholders who are engaged with this project is a very good outcome and bodes well for the long term success of the project and the Company. I would like to thank all of our stakeholders who are working toward making the Caravel Copper Project a success, including our staff, contractors, suppliers, advisors and the local community members and farmers of Wongan Hills, Calingiri and Goomalling. Wayne R. Trumble Chairman 3 CARAVEL MINERALS ANNUAL REPORT 2018REPORT ON ACTIVITIES FINANCIAL OVERVIEW • Land tenure, social and environmental planning and processes • Regulatory approvals scheduling • Progression of partnership/financing options. 2018 RESOURCE/PROJECT DEVELOPMENT DRILLING Towards the latter stages of the reporting period, the Company commenced a new phase of drilling with the primary aim of targeting higher grade domains (over 0.5% Cu) within the resource where previous modelling was based on a single lower grade domain. This program was initiated by the Company’s new management and was designed to interrogate the existing drill spacing of around 200m between sections in order to create a discrete model for these higher-grade zones. Approximately 1,000m of HQ diamond core drilling was completed including new core holes at Bindi East, Bindi West and Dasher (see Figure 2). During the 2018 financial year, Caravel raised a total of $2.57m (after costs) by the issue of 52.2m shares increasing the number of shares on issue from 68.4m to 120.6m. The net loss for the year was $2.48m and at 30 June 2018, the Company had net current assets of $0.35m. Subsequent to year end, Caravel raised $1.51m (after costs) by the issue of 32.5m shares in a pro rata rights issue to fund the ongoing work program. PRE-FEASIBILITY STUDY WORK – CARAVEL COPPER PROJECT The 2016 Scoping Study proposed the following project parameters for the Caravel Copper Project (previously referred to as the ‘Calingiri Project’): • A potential 20+ year project life • Open-cut mining with low strip ratio • Processing plant, water storage, maintenance workshops, concentrate storage, tailings storage and accommodation village/s • Waste rock stockpiles • Mine dewatering • Borefield to supply processing plant • Upgrade to power supply infrastructure • Transport and export of approx. 150Mt of copper concentrate from an existing WA port Towards the end of the reporting period, Caravel formed a small study team to progress the Project’s Pre-Feasibility work. The team is focussed on the following activities: • Drilling at the Caravel Copper Project to confirm high-grade zones and associated mine development options and scenarios • Updating the geological model and resource estimate • Geotechnical studies • Metallurgical test work to develop flow sheet and produce concentrate specifications for marketing • Infrastructure studies including project input requirements, transport and preliminary engineering and design Figure 2: Collar Plan showing the location of 2018 diamond core holes at Bindi and Dasher. 4 caravelminerals.com.auFigure 3: Cross Section through Bindi West (6,573,300mN) showing new domain interpretations and visual estimates of percentage chalcopyrite. Drilling completed at Bindi West confirmed that the resource can be modelled as discrete domains comprising higher-grade ores around 0.5% Cu or higher, lower-grade ores below 0.5% Cu and some narrow zones of unmineralized material (Figure 3). The mineralisation was found to predominantly occur as sulphide veins or layers, typically 10-100mm thick and aligned within a well-developed foliation fabric. Variations in grade between the domains are due to the width and spacing of these veins, which are mostly comprised of chalcopyrite (~80%) with lesser pyrite. The orientation of the veins and associated foliation fabric aligned with the interpreted continuity of grade domains between holes, provide support for the structural model of grade continuity. Core from Caravel’s drilling program will be used in metallurgical and comminution test work, as well as geotechnical studies which are important components of the Pre-feasibility Study for the Caravel Copper Project. 5 CARAVEL MINERALS ANNUAL REPORT 2018EXPLORATION GEOLOGICAL SETTING The Caravel Copper Project comprises a series of deposits of copper with associated gold and molybdenum. The mineralization is interpreted to be of a style know as ‘porphyry copper’, examples of which include most of the world’s largest copper deposits, mainly along the western volcanic margin of South and North America. This style of deposit is associated with the geological processes that occur when tectonic plates are converging, leading to mountain chains and volcanoes like the Andean Mountains in South America. The Caravel deposits are much older than most porphyry coppers and have been dated at around 3 billion years old. At that time the Wheatbelt region was a major mountain chain formed by the Southwest Terrane colliding with the rest of the Yilgarn Terrane. The boundary of the two terranes can be seen in Figure 4 below. Figure 4: Gravity geophysical image showing the location of the Caravel Copper Project in relation to the Yilgarn and Southwest Terranes. PREVIOUS EXPLORATION The Caravel Copper Project deposits were found by Dominion Mining in 2010 as part of a major exploration program where Dominion conducted open range sampling throughout the southwest part of Western Australia, mostly collecting samples from road verges. Low-level copper anomalies identified from the regional sampling were followed up with drilling, eventually leading to the discovery of the main copper mineralization. As well as the main deposits already discovered Caravel Minerals has numerous other prospects and mineralized areas within the same district scale mineralized corridor. Exploration has been focused within this corridor using surface, auger and aircore sampling. Outlines of the main anomalies have been used to target follow-up geophysical survey, mainly IP, and subsequent RC drilling. Many of the target areas have shown mineralization in basement rocks and require further drilling to evaluate (Figure 5). Most of these prospects have only a few holes testing the anomalies. The grades, mineralogy and structure of mineralisation at many of these prospects are similar to that at the main deposits and it seems likely all these mineralized areas are part of a common large system. Exploration throughout the mineralised corridor will continue and is expected to add further resources to the project. Figure 5: Caravel Copper Project deposits and prospects together with previous drilling (Reverse Circulation and Diamond only) and geochemical anomalies. 6 caravelminerals.com.au2018 EXPLORATION In July 2018 the Company announced results from a 1,281m Reverse Circulation (“RC”) drilling program where a potentially large new mineralised system at Dasher East was discovered together with extensions of mineralisation at Opie (See ASX announcement of 2 July 2018). Drilling at Opie was completed on three sections 200m apart, 600m along strike to the west of Opie and identified a western extension to previously defined resources at Opie. The new holes at Opie indicate two parallel mineralised horizons and supports interpretation of a continuous mineralised system extending 3,500m through to the Kurrali Prospect (Figure 6). Drilling at Dasher East was targeting an IP and bedrock geochemical anomaly. The new zone of mineralisation was intersected with wide spaced drilling and further work is planned to investigate the potential for this area to add to current resources.

DIVIDENDS No dividends have been declared, provided for or paid in respect of the year ended 30 June 2018. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND ACTIVITIES Caravel Minerals is a junior explorer based in Perth, Australia and listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX: CVV). The Company is a copper, molybdenum, gold and base metals exploration and resource development company with deposits located in WA. During the reporting period Caravel maintained its focus on its flagship Caravel Copper Project located 120km NE of Perth. in a regional copper‐molybdenum‐gold mineralised belt discovered in a previously unexplored part of the Yilgarn Craton. During the year the Company released a number of additional announcements which are available from the Company website or from the ASX. A brief summary of announcements is provided below;     The Company completed first phase bulk ore sorting testwork to determine a “proof of concept”. Completion of a 1,281m RC drilling program confirmed the presence of a large new mineralised system at Dasher East and extensions of mineralisation at Opie. Planning for follow‐up of these new areas and programme of core drilling at Bindi and Dasher to test continuity and extent of higher‐grade zones. Preparation for new phase of feasibility studies to prepare project for final BFS decision; focus on tenure and identifying processing‐specification range water sources as well as progressing work on opportunities such as higher grade in early mine schedule and ore sorting. CORPORATE AND FINANCIAL POSITION The group’s net loss from operations for the year was $2,483,941 (2017: $1,651,251). At 30 June 2018, the group had net current assets of $347,894 (2017: $256,798). Subsequent to year end, Caravel raised $1,624,763 by the issue of 32,495,251 shares in a pro rata rights issue. The Directors believe there are sufficient funds to meet the Group’s working capital requirements and as at the date of this report the Group believes it can meet all liabilities as and when they fall due. This report is prepared on the going concern basis which assumes the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Directors have reviewed the business outlook and the assets and liabilities of the Group and are of the opinion that the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate as they believe the Group will continue to be successful in securing additional funds through equity issues as and when the need to raise funds arises. BUSINESS STRATEGIES AND PROSPECTS The group currently has the following business strategies and prospects over the medium to long term: Seek to maximise the value of the group through successful exploration activities; Selectively expand the group’s portfolio of exploration assets; and (i) (ii) (iii) Examine other new business development opportunities in the mining and resources sector.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION AND PERFORMANCE The group’s operations are subject to various environmental laws and regulations under the relevant government’s legislation. Full compliance with these laws and regulations is regarded as a minimum standard for all operations to achieve. Instances of environmental non-compliance by an operation are identified either by external compliance audits or inspections by relevant government authorities. There have been no significant known breaches by the group during the financial period. LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS It is the Board's current intention that the group will seek to progress exploration on current projects. The group will also continue to examine new opportunities in the mining and resources sector where appropriate. These activities are inherently risky and there can be no certainty that the group will be able to successfully achieve the objectives. GREENHOUSE GAS AND ENERGY DATA REPORTING REQUIREMENTS The Directors have considered compliance with the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 which requires entities to report annual greenhouse gas emissions and energy use. The directors have assessed that there are no current reporting requirements, but may be required to do so in the future.

REMUNERATION PHILOSOPHY The performance of the Company depends upon the quality of its Directors and Executives. To prosper, the Company must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled Directors and Executives. To this end, the Company embodies the following principles in its remuneration framework:   Provide competitive rewards to attract high calibre executives; and Link executive rewards to shareholder value. Due to the early stage of development which the Company is in, shareholder wealth is directly affected by the Company share price, as the Company is not in a position to pay dividends. By remunerating Directors and Executives Financial Report 2018 6 Caravel Minerals Limited 13 CARAVEL MINERALS ANNUAL REPORT 2018 DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) 30 June 2018 Directors’ Report 30 June 2018 in part by share based payments, the Company aims to align the interests of Directors and Executives with Shareholder wealth, thus providing individual incentive to perform and thereby improving overall Company performance and associated value. As the Company has been incorporated since June 2006 and remains in the development stage of an inherently risky industry, the remuneration policy does not currently take into account current or prior year earnings. Other than share based payments made to the directors from time to time, there is no specific link to the Company’s performance and directors’ remuneration. REMUNERATION STRUCTURE In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive director and executive remuneration is separate and distinct. NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REMUNERATION Objective The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level which provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain directors to the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders. Structure The Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate directors' fees payable to non-executive directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. An amount not exceeding the amount determined is then divided between the directors as agreed. Shareholders’ have approved aggregate directors' fees payable of $300,000 per year. The Board determines payments to the non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. Fees for non- executive directors are not linked to the performance of the Company or shareholder wealth. All remuneration paid to Non-Executive Directors is valued at cost to the Company and expensed. The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors for the years ended 30 June 2018 and 30 June 2017 is detailed below, within this section. EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION Objective The Company aims to reward executives (both directors and company executives) with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Company and so as to:    Reward executives for Company performance; Align the interest of executives with those of shareholders; and Ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards. Structure The remuneration policy for executives is to provide a fixed remuneration component and a specific equity related component. The board believes that this remuneration policy is appropriate given the stage of development of the Company and the activities which it undertakes and is appropriate in aligning director objectives with shareholder and business objectives. The remuneration policy going forward in regard to setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors has been developed by the board taking into account market conditions and comparable salary levels for companies of a similar size and operating in similar sectors. Fixed Remuneration Objective The level of fixed remuneration is set so as to provide a base level of remuneration. Fixed remuneration is to be reviewed annually and the process consists of a review of company and individual performance, relevant comparative remuneration in the market and internal policies and practices. 14 Financial Report 2018 7 Caravel Minerals Limited caravelminerals.com.au Directors’ Report 30 June 2018 Structure Executives are given the opportunity to receive their fixed remuneration in a variety of forms including cash and fringe benefits. It is intended that the manner of payment chosen will be optimal for the recipient without creating undue cost for the Company. The remuneration policy going forward in regard to setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors has been developed by the board taking into account market conditions and comparable salary levels for companies of a similar size and operating in similar sectors. The remuneration of executives for the years ended 30 June 2018 and 30 June 2017 is detailed below, within this section. Variable Remuneration Objective The objective of variable remuneration provided is to reward executives in a manner which aligns this element of remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth. Structure Variable remuneration may be delivered in the form of options, shares or cash bonus. No cash bonuses were granted or paid during the year ended 30 June 2018 or in the prior year. Executives receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which is currently 9.5% (9.5% for the year ended 30 June 2017) and do not receive any other retirement benefit. Some individuals, however, may choose to sacrifice part of their salary to increase payments towards superannuation.

BASIS OF PREPARATION The annual report of Caravel Minerals Limited for the year ended 30 June 2018 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 26 September 2018. 1.1. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE These financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board. Caravel Minerals Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements. 1.2. BASIS OF MEASUREMENT The financial report has been prepared on a historical cost basis. 1.3. FUNCTIONAL AND PRESENTATION CURRENCY The financial report is presented in Australian dollars. 1.4. COMPLIANCE WITH IFRS These financial statements comply with Australian Accounting Standards as issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. 1.5. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Caravel Minerals Limited (‘company’ or ‘parent entity’) as at 30 June 2018 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Caravel Minerals Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as the group or the consolidated entity. Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity controls an entity when the consolidated entity 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 to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. A list of controlled entities is contained in note 6.1.1 to the financial statements. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group. The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent. Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of changes in equity of the consolidated entity. Losses incurred by the consolidated entity are attributed to the non- controlling interest in full, even if that results in a deficit balance. Where the consolidated entity loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non-controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The consolidated entity recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss. 1.6. GOING CONCERN This report is prepared on the going concern basis which assumes the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. Financial Report 2018 16 Caravel Minerals Limited 23 CARAVEL MINERALS ANNUAL REPORT 2018NOTE TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) For the year ended 30 June 2018 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2018 The Group incurred a net loss of $2,483,941 during the year ended 30 June 2018 (2017: $1,651,251) and as of that date the Group had current assets of $363,374 (30 June 2017: $363,374) including cash and cash equivalents of $287,689 (30 June 2017: $287,689). Net cash used in operating activities for the period was $2,029,782 (2016: $1,577,740). These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast doubt about the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is principally dependent upon its ability to secure funds by raising capital from equity markets or by other means, and by managing cash flows in line with available funds, and/or the successful development of its exploration assets. The Directors are confident of the ability of the Company to potentially raise capital as and when required. The Directors are satisfied there are sufficient funds to meet the Group’s working capital requirements as at the date of this report. The Directors have reviewed the business outlook and the assets and liabilities of the Group and are of the opinion that the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate as they believe the Group will continue to be successful in securing additional funds as and when the need to raise funds arises. Should the entity not be able to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the financial statements and that the financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or liabilities that might be necessary should the entity not continue as a going concern. 1.7. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements and estimates on historical experience and on other various factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. Management has identified the following critical accounting policies for which significant judgements, estimates and assumptions are made. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions and may materially affect financial results or the financial position reported in future periods. Further details of the nature of these assumptions and conditions may be found in the relevant notes to the financial statements. Significant accounting judgements The determination of mineral resources impacts the accounting for asset carrying values. Caravel Minerals Limited estimates its mineral resources in accordance with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves 2012 (the ‘JORC’ Code). The information on mineral resources was prepared by or under the supervision of Competent Persons as defined in the JORC Code. The amounts presented are based on the mineral resources determined under the JORC Code. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating mineral resources, and assumptions that are valid at the time of estimation may change significantly when new information becomes available. Significant accounting estimates and assumptions Exploration and evaluation expenditure is assessed for impairment if sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability or facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. Exploration and evaluation expenditure is assessed for indicators of impairment in accordance with AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources when any of the following facts and circumstances exist:  The term of exploration licence in the specific area of interest has expired during the reporting period or will expire in the near future, and is not expected to be renewed; Financial Report 2018 17 Caravel Minerals Limited 24 caravelminerals.com.auNotes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2018    Substantive expenditure on further exploration and/ or evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area are not budgeted nor planned; Exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area have not led to the discovery of commercially viable quantities of mineral resources and the decision was made to discontinue such activities in the specified area; or Sufficient data exist to indicate that, although a development in the specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development or by sale. Where a potential impairment is indicated, an assessment is performed for each cash generating unit that is no larger than the area of interest. The Group performs impairment testing in accordance with accounting policy note 2.3. Judgement is applied when considering whether fact and circumstances as per above indicate that the exploration and evaluation asset should be tested for impairment and no impairment indicators were noted during the year. 2. CAPITAL EXPENDITURE 2.1. EXPLORATION & EVALUATION EXPENDITURE Caravel Mineral’s Copper Project is located 120kms from Perth in Western Australia’s Wheatbelt region. The potential mining area is located on cleared agricultural freehold land and is well connected to existing infrastructure including interconnected power, roads and highways, regional service towns and a range of export ports. Caravel’s copper deposits form part of a regional copper-molybdenum-gold mineralised belt discovered in a previously unexplored part of the Yilgarn Craton. Exploration and evaluation costs are expensed as incurred as an operating cost of the Group. Costs related to the acquisition of properties that contain mineral resources are capitalised and allocated separately to specific areas of interest. These costs are capitalised until the viability of the area of interest is determined. The Group has exploration costs carried forward in respect of areas of interest: Areas of interest: Caravel Copper Project 2018 $ 3,107,811 2017 $ 3,107,811 The recoverability of the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on the successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively the sale, of the respective areas of interest. 2.2. PROPERTY PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred. Depreciation is calculated on either the straight-line basis or diminishing value basis over their useful lives to the Group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. The depreciation rates used are as follows: Plant and equipment Exploration equipment Vehicles Leasehold improvements Computer equipment and software Buildings 30% 25% 30% 25% 40% 2.5% Financial Report 2018 18 Caravel Minerals Limited 25 CARAVEL MINERALS ANNUAL REPORT 2018 NOTE TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2018 For the Year Ended 30 June 2018 The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date. 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.

External factors, such as changes in expected future processes, technology and economic conditions, are also monitored to assess for indicators of impairment. If any indication of impairment exists, an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount is calculated. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are tested for possible reversal of the impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the impairment may have reversed. No impairment indicators were noted for the period ended 30 June 2018 Financial Report 2018 19 Caravel Minerals Limited 26 caravelminerals.com.au Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2018 3. FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE 3.1. REVENUE Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: Revenue from continuing operations Interest revenue Government EIS Grant Other income 3.2.

The Group does not have any material operating segments with discrete financial information. The Group does not have any customers and all its’ assets and liabilities are primarily related to the mining industry and are located within Australia. The Board of Directors review internal management reports on a regular basis that is consistent with the information provided in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of cash flows. As a result no reconciliation is required because the information as presented is what is used by the Board to make strategic decisions. 3.4. INCOME TAX The income tax expense for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the national income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or Financial Report 2018 20 Caravel Minerals Limited 27 CARAVEL MINERALS ANNUAL REPORT 2018 NOTE TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) For the year ended 30 June 2018 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2018 substantively enacted for each jurisdiction. The relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences to measure the deferred tax asset or liability. An exception is made for certain temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability. No deferred tax asset or liability is recognised in relation to these temporary differences if they arose on goodwill or in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against tax liabilities and the deferred tax liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority. Caravel Minerals Limited and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation as of 1 July 2013. As a consequence, these entities are taxed as a single entity and the deferred tax assets and liabilities of these entities are set off in the consolidated financial statements.

LOSS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit/loss attributable to equity holders of the Group, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the period. Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with 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. The following reflects the income and share data used in the calculations of basic and diluted loss per share: Loss attributable to ordinary shareholders Issued number of ordinary shares at 1 July Effect of shares issued during the period Weighted average number of shares for year to 30 June 2018 $ 2017 $ (2,483,941) (1,651,251) 68,429,777 31,670,452 100,100,229 38,661,548 24,865,042 63,526,590 Basic loss per share (cents per share) (2.48) (2.60) As at reporting date, 37,213,222 (2017: 11,502,809) unlisted options (which represent potential ordinary shares) were not dilutive as they would decrease the loss per share.

FUNDING AND RISK MANAGEMENT The Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company in the proportion to the number and amount paid on the shares held. Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options for the acquisition of a business are not included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration. 5.1. CONTRIBUTED EQUITY Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Issued and paid up capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Company. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Contributed equity Cost of share issue 5.2.

CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT When managing capital, management’s objective is to ensure the entity continues as a going concern as well as to maintain optimal returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. Being at an exploration stage, the Company does not generate cash inflows from its operations to fund its exploration and working capital requirements, therefore, the Company may issue shares to either generate cash for operations or to acquire assets in order to maintain adequate levels of cash reserves. During the financial year ended 30 June 2018, the Company issued 52,191,437 ordinary shares (2017: 18,680,202 ordinary shares). The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. 5.5. SIGNIFICANT NON-CASH FINANCING AND INVESTING ACTIVITIES On 17 May 2017, the Company issued 500,000 unlisted options to an advisor of the Company as a fee for investor relations services. During the year, 3,848,048 (2017: 1,074,578) shares were issued to drilling contractors in payment of drilling services performed. A further 122,541 were issued to marketing consultants in payment of consulting fees. 5.6. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and short-term deposits. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to fund capital expenditure on the Group’s operations. The Group has various other financial assets and liabilities such as trade receivables and trade payables, which arise directly from its operations. It is, and has been throughout the period under review, the Group’s policy that no trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken. Being at an exploration stage, the Group has limited exposure to risks arising from its financial instruments. Currently the Group does not have any exposure to commodity price risk or foreign currency risk as the Group has ceased operations in Spain. As the Group moves into development and production phases, exposure to commodity price risk, foreign currency risk and credit risk are expected to increase. The Board will set appropriate policies to manage these risks dependent on market conditions and requirements at that time. Financial Report 2018 25 Caravel Minerals Limited 32 caravelminerals.com.auNotes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2018 Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, in respect of each class of financial asset and financial liability are disclosed in Note 1. 5.6.1. CREDIT RISK Credit risk represents the loss that would be recognised if counterparties fail to perform as contracted. The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk at reporting date in relation to each class of financial asset is the carrying amount of those assets as indicated in the statement of financial position. The majority of cash and cash equivalents is held with one Australian Bank which has an AA- long-term credit rating from Standard and Poor’s. Wherever possible, the Group trades only with recognised, credit worthy third parties. There are no significant concentrations of credit risk within the Group. Since the Group trades only with recognised third parties, there is no requirement for collateral. 5.6.2. LIQUIDITY RISK Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group does not have sufficient funds to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable. The Group currently does not have major funding in place. However the Group continuously monitors forecast and actual cash flows and the maturity profiles of financial assets and financial liabilities to manage its liquidity risk. The Group’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank loans if and when required. Cash at bank and on hand, as set out in Note 4.1, is available for use by the Group without restrictions. Financial liabilities of the Group at 30 June 2018 and 30 June 2017 are expected to be settled within 6 months of year-end. 5.6.3. MARKET RISK (A) PRICE RISK The group is exposed to equity securities price risk. This arises from investments held by the group and classified as available-for-sale. The group is not exposed to commodity price risk. The sensitivity of movements in the price has not been disclosed as it is not material to the Group. (B) FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK The group do not have any foreign currency balances and therefore is not exposed to any foreign currency risk. (C) INTEREST RATE RISK The following tables summarise the sensitivity of the Group’s financial assets to interest rate risk. Had the relevant variables, as illustrated in the tables, moved, with all other variables held constant, post tax loss and equity would have been affected as shown. The analysis has been performed on the same basis for 2018 and 2017 and represents management’s judgement of a reasonably possible movement. 30 June 2018 Cash and cash equivalents Other current assets 30 June 2017 Cash and cash equivalents Other current assets Carrying Amount $ 586,838 26,200 Interest Rate Risk -1% Equity Net Loss $ $ (5,868) (5,868) (262) (262) Interest Rate Risk +1% Equity Net Gain $ $ 5,868 5,868 262 262 287,689 57,462 (2,877) (575) (2,877) (575) 2,877 575 2,877 575 None of the Group’s financial liabilities in 20187 or 2017 were interest bearing.

GROUP STRUCTURE 6.1. BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION 6.1.1. SUBSIDIARIES Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group 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 to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. Investments in subsidiaries are carried at their cost of acquisition in the Company’s financial statements. The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of the following subsidiaries in accordance with the accounting policy described in note 1: Name of entity Quadrio Resources Pty Ltd Caravel Employee Share Plan Pty Ltd Country of incorporation Equity holding Australia Australia 100% 100% Date of incorporation 11 June 1985 13 March 2013 Caravel Resources Netherlands Cooperatief U.A.

SHARE BASED PAYMENTS The Group provides benefits to Directors, employees, consultants and other advisors of the Group in the form of share-based payments, whereby the Directors, employees, consultants and other advisors render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity-settled transactions). The cost of these equity-settled transactions is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using a Black-Scholes model. In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the market price of the shares of the Company if applicable. The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant recipient becomes fully entitled to the award (the vesting period). The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. The statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period. No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is only conditional upon a market condition. If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the recipient, as measured at the date of modification. If an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph. The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share (see Note 3.5). Under the employee share scheme, shares are issued to employees by providing interest free loans and will vest over the restriction period. The shares are held by the Trust until the loan is repaid. Within the loan period the employee must have paid off the loan balance, at which point the shares are delivered to the Financial Report 2018 28 Caravel Minerals Limited 35 CARAVEL MINERALS ANNUAL REPORT 2018NOTE TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) For the year ended 30 June 2018 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2018 employee, or surrendered the shares. Surrender of the shares by the employee after the restriction period, is treated as discharging any outstanding amount on the loan, irrespective of the value of the shares. The effect of such an arrangement is equivalent to an option with a strike price per share equal to the share price on grant date. 7.4. EMPLOYEE SHARE ACQUISITION PLAN Shareholders approved the establishment of the Caravel Employee Share Acquisition Plan at a general meeting on 13 March 2013. Nil shares were issued under this scheme during the year ended 30 June 2018 (2017: Nil).

OPTION PRICING MODEL Options granted during the year have been valued using the Black-Scholes Option Valuation model, which takes account of factors including the option exercise price, the current level and volatility of the underlying share price, the risk-free interest rate, expected dividends on the underlying share, current market price of the underlying share and the expected life of the option.

The expected life of the options is based on historical data and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility is indicative of future trends, which may also not necessarily be the actual outcome. 7.6. SHARES During the year 3,970,589 ordinary shares were issued to contractors of the Company for drilling and marketing services. The shares were issued at market value calculated by a 10-day VWAP at the end of each invoice month for a total consideration of $269,303. The value of the services could not be reliably determined and therefore, were measured at their fair value calculated on the 10-day VWAP (volume weighted) trading price of the company’s share price for the last 10 days of each calendar month in which the invoice was received. 7.7.

The entitlement issue was partially underwritten by Bridge Street Capital, a related party of Alex Sundich. Other than the matters above, at the date of this report there are no other matters or circumstances which have arisen since 30 June 2018 that have significantly affected or may significantly affect: the operations, in financial years subsequent to 30 June 2018, of the Group; the results of those operations, in financial years subsequent to 30 June 2018, of the Group. 8.2. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company has certain obligations to perform minimum exploration work on the tenements in which it has an interest. These obligations vary from time to time. The aggregate of the prescribed expenditure conditions applicable to the granted tenements for the next twelve months amounts to $764,330. Application for exemption from all or some of the prescribed expenditure conditions will be made but no assurance is given that any such application will be granted. Nevertheless, the Company is optimistic, given its level of expenditure in the North Perth Basin, that it would likely be granted exemptions, on a project basis, in respect of the prescribed expenditure conditions applicable to many of its North Perth Basin tenements. If the prescribed expenditure conditions are not met with respect to a tenement, that tenement is liable to forfeiture. The Company has the ability to diminish its exposure under these conditions through the application of a variety of techniques including applying for exemptions (from the regulatory expenditure obligations), surrendering tenements, relinquishing portions of tenements or entering into farm-out agreements whereby third parties bear the burdens of such obligation in whole or in part As at 30 June 2018 Caravel Minerals Limited has no contingent liabilities.

NEW AND REVISED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS Early adoption of accounting standards The Group has not elected to apply any pronouncements before their operative date in the annual reporting year beginning 1 July 2017. New and amended standards adopted by the Group None of the new standards and amendments to standards that are mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 July 2017 affected any of the amounts recognised in the current year or any prior period and are not likely to affect future periods. Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2018 reporting year. The Group’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations that may have an impact on the Group is set out below: AASB 9 Financial Instruments AASB 9 includes requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. There is no material impact for Caravel. This standard is not applicable until the financial year commencing 1 July 2018. AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers AASB 15 deals with revenue recognition and establishes principles for reporting useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. It also introduces new cost guidance which requires certain costs of obtaining and fulfilling contracts to be recognised as separate assets when specified criteria are met. This standard is not applicable until the financial year commencing 1 July 2018, and there will be no impact on Caravel’s financial statements. AASB 16 Leases AASB 16 requires a lessee to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months. There is no material impact for Caravel. This standard is not applicable until the financial year commencing 1 July 2019.

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 2018 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 Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Material uncertainty related to going concern We draw attention to Note 1.6 in the financial report which describes the events and/or conditions which give rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

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. In addition to the matter described in the Material uncertainty related to going concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. Carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets Key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit The carrying value of the capitalised exploration and Our procedures included, but were not limited to: evaluation asset as at 30 June 2018 is disclosed in Note 2.1 of the financial report. As the carrying value of the Exploration and Evaluation Asset represents a significant asset of the Company, we considered it necessary to assess whether any facts or circumstances exist to suggest that the carrying amount of this asset may exceed its recoverable amount. Judgement is applied in determining the treatment of exploration expenditure in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources. In particular: • Whether the conditions for capitalisation are satisfied; • Which elements of exploration and evaluation expenditures qualify for recognition; and • Whether facts and circumstances indicate that the exploration and expenditure assets should be tested for impairment. • • • • • Obtaining a schedule of the area of interest held by the Company and assessing whether the rights to tenure of the area of interest remained current at balance date; Considering the status of the ongoing exploration programmes in the area of interest by holding discussions with management, and reviewing the Company’s exploration budgets, ASX announcements and director’s minutes; Considering whether the area of interest had reached a stage where a reasonable assessment of economically recoverable reserves existed; Considering whether any facts or circumstances existed to suggest impairment testing was required; and Assessing the adequacy of the related disclosures in Note 2.1 to the Financial Statements. 41 CARAVEL MINERALS ANNUAL REPORT 2018INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (continued) For the year ended 30 June 2018 Other information The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information contained in the Directors report for the year ended 30 June 2018, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon, which we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, and the Chairmans letter, Project & Strategy review and the Annual Statement of mineral resources, which is expected to be made available to us after that date. Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. When we read the Chairmans letter, Project & Strategy review and the Annual Statement of mineral resources, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communic ate the matter to the directors and will request that it is corrected. If it is not corrected, we will seek to have the matter appropriately brought to the attention of users for whom our report is prepared. Responsibilities of the directors for the Financial Report The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. 42 caravelminerals.com.auA further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website (http://www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx) at: http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1.pdf This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
