During the year, Caravel made significant advances towards becoming an Australian copper developer. A stronger copper market combined with a clear plan for progressing our feasibility studies has taken the project from a scoping level assessment to being well advanced in feasibility studies and planning for implementation. The copper price increased about 60% over the 12-month period and further price increases are expected as supply and costs come under pressure from resource depletion, social and political disruptions and fewer new discoveries. These dynamics have seen companies such as Caravel become a proxy for investor exposure to upward movements in the copper price. Caravel is one of the largest copper resources in Western Australia and in the top 10 largest undeveloped copper projects in Australia. During the past year we have completed several drilling programs including 7,275m of diamond drilling and 26,955m of reverse circulation (RC) percussion drilling at the Project, aiming to extend and define higher-grade zones. The recent work will form the basis for a new resource to support the Pre-feasibility Study (PFS) and is expected to significantly add to the 2019 Mineral Resource of 661.9Mt @ 0.28% Cu for 1.86Mt contained copper. Results from the drilling have shown significant new zones of higher-grade mineralisation at the Bindi deposit, highlighted potential to extend the Dasher deposit resource and improved geological confidence across the Project. An updated Mineral Resource Estimate is expected to be complete early in the fourth quarter of this year. A range of other project development activities are also being undertaken for the PFS. Ausenco was appointed as lead engineering consultant in June 2021. Ausenco is an excellent partner for the Caravel Copper Project as they are an industry leader in global engineering services with extensive experience in copper processing and infrastructure projects. The first-phase engineering Copper works is now complete including trade-off studies for comminution, flotation, water, tailings and layout options with guidance to be reported in a Revised Scoping Study during October 2021. The PFS is continuing and is planned to be complete in early 2022. A range of other activities progressed in the second half of the year including studies on mine optimisation and design, geotechnical design, metallurgy, tailings design, environmental approvals, water supply, power supply, logistics, concentrate marketing and community/ stakeholder relations. Caravel has developed a strong shareholder base, both new and existing, and the value of the company has risen in line with the copper price and increasing understanding of the Project's value. We raised over $21 million in four placements through the year to fund drilling, project development and exploration work. Paradice Investment Management became a major shareholder during the year, acquiring nearly 7% of the company. I thank both existing and new shareholders for their support. We are grateful for the strong support from suppliers, contractors, and many stakeholders near our project and this support is highly valued by the Company, its Board and Management. In particular we wish to thank landowners who have worked with us since 2009 and continue to be important stakeholders as we progress our field investigations for the PFS. I take this opportunity to thank our Management team and staff for their efforts over the past year, particularly given our busy PFS and resource drilling programs. I also thank my fellow Board members for their support and guidance through the year. We have many important milestones to deliver in the next 12 months, and I look forward to keeping you updated during this journey. Steve Abbott Managing Director 1 ANNUAL REPORT 2021CARAVEL MINERALS REPORT ON ACTIVITIES HIGHLIGHTS Corporate Over $21 million raised in placements through the year to fund drilling, project development and exploration work. Paradice Investment Management became a major shareholder during the year, acquiring nearly 7% of the company. Strong support from existing shareholders demonstrating confidence in company assets and direction. Retention and attraction of experienced management and staff during a period of intense competition for labour within the WA resources sector. Successful navigation of business conditions and opportunities presented by the COVID-19 pandemic resulting from people and assets based in Western Australia as well as positive business relationships with suppliers and stakeholders. Resource Drilling programs were completed at the Dasher deposit as well as the Ninan, Opie, and Dasher East Prospects, drilling is ongoing at the Bindi deposit. Extensive 26,955m reverse circulation (RC) percussion drilling program at the Bindi deposit to test extensions and continuity of copper mineralisation in the Bindi East Limb (Figure 1). 7,275m Deep diamond drilling to test the depth extents of the Bindi copper deposit. The geological model for the Bindi mineralisation was revised at the south end of the Bindi East Zone where observations from the drill cores indicate development of a synformal fold closure producing the wider than expected intersections where holes have passed through the interpreted fold hinge (Figure 2). Revisions to the geology model based on the potential for a continuation of the mineralisation though the synform, forming a third zone east of the East Limb. 2 Based on deep drilling results at Bindi, the Company defined an Exploration Target for the intersected mineralisation of 75 to 85 million tonnes at a grade of 0.20% to 0.30% copper, for 150,000 to 255,000 tonnes contained copper (Figure 3). 11,000 metre RC percussion infill drilling program commenced during the year at the Bindi East Limb and Hinge area to confirm higher-grade copper zones within the Bindi Hinge and more recently identified Bindi East Limb area (Figure 1). Diamond drilling work was also undertaken to obtain detailed geotechnical information and additional metallurgical samples for the feasibility studies into the mining development of the Caravel Copper Project. Increased confidence in higher-grade areas for resource/reserve classification for consideration in early stages of a proposed mine schedule. Significant and material volumes of data collected for incorporation into new mineral estimate planned for October 2021.

Metallurgical test work – comminution testing including work indices, SMC and abrasion testing is well advanced. Work continues on the flotation parameters and optimisation for the circuit. Discussions have taken place with port authorities regarding the export of concentrate through the relevant facilities. Progressed power application processes with Western Power, capitalising on existing grid power connection and a range of energy options including renewable sources. First water bores drilled as part of works that are underway to define groundwater models. Landowner discussions and consultation as a key component of project layout planning and design options that were also investigated concurrently during the year. Environmental baseline study continuation including completion of fauna surveys. Permitting and approvals planning and commencement of requirements for Environmental Protection Act 1986 Part IV referral. Environmental baseline studies progressed and on track for completion during the 2021 spring season. Project Formal commencement of the Caravel Copper Project Pre-Feasibility Study building on the positive economics defined by the 2019 Scoping Study and in an environment of rising copper prices. Appointment of Ausenco as lead engineering consultant for the Caravel Copper Project PFS. Ausenco joins Caravel as a valued technical partner with extensive experience in the successful delivery of cost-effective, high-performance copper mining and processing projects. Appointment of experienced PFS technical advisory team including: • Dempers & Seymour – Geotechnical evaluation • Knight Piesold – Tailings and waste rock assessments/design • Aurifex – Design of metallurgical test work program and expert advice • ALS – Metallurgical test work including ore characterisation, comminution, flotation and vendor testing • Western Power – Power supply and transmission options • Trepanier – Resource estimation • Smith Drilling – Water exploration • Rockwater - Hydrological modelling and expertise for the bore field • Preston Consulting – Environmental Impacts Assessment (Part IV & V – EP Act 1986) • CDM Smith – Mining Proposal & Closure Ausenco’s completion of first-phase engineering including trade-off studies for comminution, flotation, water, tailings and layout options (to be reported in a Revised Scoping Study). Phase 2 – engineering detail and definition well underway. 4 CARAVEL MINERALS Caravel completed compilation of open file data for the Dalwallinu and Toolbrunup areas and reconnaissance surface sampling. In addition the company completed an airborne electromagnetic (AEM) survey over the Toolbrunup magnetic feature which defined a number of conductors however most were considered to be sourced from near-surface lateritic cover. Caravel’s Brookton Cu-Zn prospect shows strong surface geochemistry from historic sampling completed by previous exploration companies dating back to 1977. Elevated Cu (>500ppm) in rock chips extend for 8km along strike, an elongate moderate magnetic feature extends a further 6km to the east along the same trend. Gossanous subcrop in the area is hosted by quart-biotite- garnet schists and granite gneiss suggesting a similar metamorphosed alteration halo to that seen at the Caravel Copper Project. ANNUAL REPORT 2021 EXPLORATION NEW PROSPECTS During the year Caravel continued to secure new mineral exploration licences over several areas of interest for copper, gold and nickel mineralisation within the prospective South West Terrane of the Yilgarn Block. The mineral potential of the South West Yilgarn Block has been highlighted by the Pt-Pd-Ni-Cu discovery at the Julimar Prospect by Chalice Gold Mines Ltd (70km southwest of Bindi) and the Angepena Au-Cu discovery by Liontown Resources Ltd (48km northwest of Bindi). The discoveries show the potential for significant mineralisation to be concealed below the surface weathering zone with only subtle surface geochemical responses. The Caravel copper deposits were discovered in 2009 by the same process of surface sampling and identification of low level anomalous geochemical responses. OUTLOOK The Company is establishing a clear path for the development of the Caravel Copper Project. Project feasibility studies are funded including delivery of the PFS and for continuation towards a DFS. Project development will be pursued in line with the de-risking and option refinements resulting from feasibility work. Caravel is actively pursuing exploration opportunities in the South West Yilgarn Terrane where it has particular experience and capability with programs expected to be reported during the year. Caravel is maintaining and expanding its sustainability activities to ensure long-term success of the Company, Project and our Stakeholders.

The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and while it has not significantly impacted the entity up to 30 June 2021, it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date. The situation is rapidly developing and is dependent on measures imposed by the Australian Government and other countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided. No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2021 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the entity's operations, the results of those operations, or the entity's state of affairs in future financial years. 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. 11 ANNUAL REPORT 2021CARAVEL MINERALS Directors’ Report Director's Report 30 June 2021 30 June 2021 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. The directors are uncertain of the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and of the potential consequential impact that may flow through to the Group’s future operating costs and exploration activities. The directors believe there are reasonable prospects the Group can continue operations through the COVID-19 pandemic and are committed to the long term development and growth of the Company on behalf of its shareholders, employees and the communities in which it operates. 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 Report (Audited) This Remuneration Report outlines the director and executive remuneration arrangements of the Company in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations. For the purposes of this report Key Management Personnel (KMP) of the Group are defined as those persons having the authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Group, directly or indirectly, including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of the Group. Based on this definition the KMP of Caravel Minerals Limited are the directors of the Company. Details of Key Management Personnel Directors Wayne Trumble Richard Monti Alexander Sundich Stephen Abbott Alasdair Cooke Non-Executive Chairman Non-Executive Director (appointed 18 August 2020) Non-Executive Director (resigned 8 December 2020) Managing Director Executive Director There were no changes in KMP after the reporting date and before the date the annual financial report was authorised for issue. 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. 13 ANNUAL REPORT 2021CARAVEL MINERALSDirectors’ Report Director's Report 30 June 2021 30 June 2021 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 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 non-executive 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. Cash 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 2021 and 30 June 2020 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. 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. 14 CARAVEL MINERALSANNUAL REPORT 2021 Directors’ Report Director's Report 30 June 2021 30 June 2021 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 2021 and 30 June 2020 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. Mr Abbott was granted a bonus of $50,000 upon his appointment on 29 May 2019 payable upon securing funding for a definitive feasibility study. The bonus was not payable at balance date. Structure Variable remuneration may be delivered in the form of options, shares or cash bonus. No cash bonuses were granted or paid during the year ended 30 June 2021. Executives receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which is currently 9.5% (9.5% for the year ended 30 June 2020) and do not receive any other retirement benefit. Some individuals, however, may choose to sacrifice part of their salary to increase payments towards superannuation. Options Granted Some Directors were awarded options during the year. All options were granted over unissued fully paid ordinary shares in the company. The number of options granted was determined having regard to the factors described above. Options are vested and exercisable when the vesting conditions are met; options with no vesting conditions are vested and exercisable immediately upon issue. The options are issued to directors at no cost and are exercisable upon vesting at the exercise price. There has not been any alteration to the terms or conditions since the grant date. The following table sets out terms of the options granted to directors during the year ended 30 June 2021: Options granted during the year Grant Date Number of options Dividend yield (%) Expected volatility (%) Risk free interest rate (%) Expected life of the option (years) Option exercise price ($) Share price at grant date ($) Expiry Date Fair value per option ($) Total value at grant date ($) Vesting Awarded to: Alasdair Cooke Richard Monti Wayne Trumble Steve Abbott 11/09/20201 390,000 - 104 0.24 1.80 0.080 0.100 30/06/2022 0.057 22,191 26/11/2020 1,250,000 - 104 0.24 1.84 0.080 0.095 30/09/2022 0.053 66,250 18/05/2021 2,735,124 - 117 0.72 2.12 0.300 0.400 30/06/2023 0.264 723,007 Upon issue Upon issue Upon issue 18/05/2021 2,303,262 - 117 0.72 2.12 0.300 0.400 30/06/2023 0.264 608,848 28/02/2022 390,000 - - - - 1,250,000 - - 1,151,631 143,954 287,908 1,151,631 1,151,631 - - 1,151,631 1 On 11 September 2020, the Company's shareholders approved the issue of 2,730,000 options to Alasdair Cooke for Director services for the period 1 January to 31 July 2020 under the Company's Employee Incentive Scheme.

Basis of preparation The annual report of Caravel Minerals Limited for the year ended 30 June 2021 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 30 September 2021. 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 2021 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. 23 ANNUAL REPORT 2021CARAVEL MINERALS Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2021 For the Year Ended 30 June 2021 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 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; 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. Share based payments The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees (including directors and consultants) by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity. The Company has issued options that vest upon the completion of a pre-feasibility study on the Caravel Copper Project. Directors have determined that this hurdle is likely to be met and 28 February 2022 is the most likely date of achievement. 24 CARAVEL MINERALSANNUAL REPORT 2021 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2021 For the Year Ended 30 June 2021 Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may have, on the company based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the company operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the company unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. 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 2021 $ 3,107,811 2020 $ 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% The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date. 25 ANNUAL REPORT 2021CARAVEL MINERALS Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2021 For the Year Ended 30 June 2021 Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount.

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 year ended 30 June 2021. 26 CARAVEL MINERALSANNUAL REPORT 2021 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2021 For the Year Ended 30 June 2021 3. Financial Performance 3.1. Other Income Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate. Other income is recognised to the extent that it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the Group and the income can be reliably measured. Other income is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Other Income Government Grants and rebates Interest revenue Other income 3.2.

Segment Information Management has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the board of directors that are used to make strategic decisions. 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 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. 27 ANNUAL REPORT 2021CARAVEL MINERALS Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2021 For the Year Ended 30 June 2021 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. 3.4.1.

The impact of this reduction in the corporate tax rate has been reflected in the unrecognised deferred tax positions and the prima face income tax reconciliation above. 3.5. 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: Gain (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 2021 $ 2020 $ (11,201,272) (1,118,461) 197,172,692 91,095,352 288,268,044 184,365,039 8,592,286 192,957,325 Basic loss per share (cents per share) (3.89) (0.58) As at reporting date, 36,309,769 (2020: 16,900,000) unlisted options (which represent potential ordinary shares) were not dilutive as they would decrease the loss per share. Details of changes in share capital are disclosed in note 5.2.1. Subsequent to the reporting date, a total of 11,825,000 options were converted into ordinary shares at a strike price of 8 cents, raising $946,000. There have been no other conversions to, calls of, or subscriptions for ordinary shares or issues of potential ordinary shares since the reporting date and before the completion of this financial report. 29 ANNUAL REPORT 2021CARAVEL MINERALS Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2021 For the Year Ended 30 June 2021 4.

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 2021, the Company issued 180,602,326 ordinary shares (2020: 16,502,857 ordinary shares). The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. 5.5. 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. 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. 32 CARAVEL MINERALSANNUAL REPORT 2021 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2021 For the Year Ended 30 June 2021 5.5.1. 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. 5.5.2. 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 2021 are expected to be settled within 6 months of year-end. 5.5.3. Market risk (A) Price risk The group is not exposed to equity securities price risk. 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 2021 and 2020 and represents management’s judgement of a reasonably possible movement. 30 June 2021 Cash and cash equivalents 30 June 2020 Cash and cash equivalents Carrying Amount $ Interest Rate Risk -1% Equity Net Loss $ $ Interest Rate Risk +1% Equity Net Gain $ $ 13,249,063 (132,491) (132,491) 132,491 132,491 231,850 (2,319) (2,319) 2,319 2,319 None of the Group’s financial liabilities are interest bearing.

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.

The aggregate compensation made to directors and other members of key management personnel of the consolidated entity is set out below: Short term employee benefits Post-employment benefits Share based payments Total compensation 2021 $ 469,624 8,759 889,459 1,367,842 2020 $ 281,218 41,576 172,747 495,541 7.2. Transactions with Other Related Parties Mr Richard Monti was appointed as a non-executive director on 18 August 2020. In addition to non-executive director fees of $25,000 per annum, Mr Monti is paid a monthly fee of $1,750 for his role as chairman of the exploration committee. During the year a total of 6,678,386 options were issued to KMP. Of these, 390,000 options were granted to Alasdair Cooke in lieu of unpaid director fees for July 2021 and the remaining 6,288,386 options were granted under the terms and conditions of the Caravel Employee Share Option Plan (the “Option Plan”). Total value of options granted to KMP during the year is $1,420,296 of which $22,191 is the value of options issued in payment of directors’ fees and $1,398,105 is the value of options granted under the Option Plan. Details on terms and valuation of these options are disclosed in note 7.5. The value of KMP options yet to vest at 30 June 2021 was $515,339. Other transactions with related parties during the year ended 30 June 2021 were as follows: - $221,756 (2020: $79,928) was paid to Mitchell River Group, of which Mr Alasdair Cooke is a part owner, for provision of serviced offices and geological consultancy. No invoices were unpaid at 30 June 2021 (30 June 2020: $37,530). - The Company paid $207,240 of share placement management fees, inclusive of GST, to Bridge Street Capital (BSC) of which Mr Alex Sundich is the owner and a director. No invoices were unpaid at 30 June 2021 (30 June 2020: nil). No loans to key management personnel were provided during the period or up to the date of signing this report. 7.3. 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 or fair value of services. 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. 35 ANNUAL REPORT 2021CARAVEL MINERALS Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2021 For the Year Ended 30 June 2021 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 loss per share (see Note 3.5). 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 Incentive Plan Shareholders approved the establishment of the Caravel Employee Incentive Plan at the 2020 AGM. The following table illustrates the number (No.) and weighted average exercise prices (WAEP) of, and movements in, share options granted as consideration for services provided to the Company during the year: Outstanding at the beginning of the year Granted during the year Expired or lapsed during the year Exercised during the year Outstanding at the end of the year Exercisable at the end of the year 2021 Number 19,655,800 20,209,295 - (3,555,326) 36,309,769 33,142,784 2021 WAEP 0.08 0.27 - 0.09 0.20 0.20 2020 Number 18,700,000 2,755,800 (1,800,000) - 19,655,800 16,655,800 2020 WAEP 0.08 0.08 0.08 - 0.08 0.08 Weighted average remaining contractual life of options at 30 June 2021: 1.19 years (2020: 1.27 years) 7.5. 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 options were issued at no cost at an exercise price of 30 cents, fully vested and exercisable upon issue and expiring on 3 March 2024. The value of the options is recognised as the costs of share issue in the Statement of financial position. 8. Other 8.1. Events occurring after the reporting period On 9 July 2021, 625,000 options were exercised at a strike price of 8 cents to raise $50,000. On 20 September 2021, 11,200,000 options were exercised at a strike price of 8 cents to raise $896,000. The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and while it has not significantly impacted the entity up to 30 June 2021, it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date. The situation is rapidly developing and is dependent on measures imposed by the Australian Government and other countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided. Other than the matters above, at the date of this report there are no other matters or circumstances which have arisen since 30 June 2021 that have significantly affected or may significantly affect: • • the operations, in financial years subsequent to 30 June 2021, of the Group; the results of those operations, in financial years subsequent to 30 June 2021, 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 $661,000. 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 2021 Caravel Minerals Limited has no contingent liabilities (2020: nil). 38 CARAVEL MINERALSANNUAL REPORT 2021 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2021 For the Year Ended 30 June 2021 8.3.

Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the consolidated entity: Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework) The consolidated entity has adopted the revised Conceptual Framework from 1 July 2020. The Conceptual Framework contains new definition and recognition criteria as well as new guidance on measurement that affects several Accounting Standards, but it has not had a material impact on the consolidated entity's financial statements. Standards issued but not yet effective Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2021. The consolidated entity has not yet assessed the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations. 40 CARAVEL MINERALSANNUAL REPORT 2021 Director's Declaration Directors Declaration In accordance with a resolution of the directors of Caravel Minerals Limited, I state that: (1) In the opinion of the directors: (a) the financial statements, notes and the additional disclosures included in the directors’ report designated as audited, of the Group are in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: (i) (ii) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2021 and of its performance for the period ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standards, the Corporations Regulations 2001 and other mandatory professional reporting requirements, and (b) there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Company will be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable.

In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Group, is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: (i) (ii) Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2021 and of its financial performance for the year ended on that date; and Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are 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 (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Key audit matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd ABN 79 112 284 787 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO Australia Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee.

The Group performed calculations to record the related share-based payment expense in accordance with AASB 2 Share Based Payment in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, other comprehensive income and consolidated statement of financial position. Refer to Note 7.3 of the annual report for a description of the accounting policy and Note 1.7 for the significant estimates and judgements applied to these arrangements. Due to the complex judgements and estimates used in determining the valuation of the share- based payments and the appropriate vesting of the expense, we consider the Group’s calculation of the share based payment expense and associated disclosures to be a key audit matter. Our procedures included, but were not limited to: • Reviewing the relevant agreements to obtain an understanding of the contractual nature and terms and conditions of the share-based payment arrangements; • • Evaluating management’s determination of the fair value of the share-based payments granted, considering the appropriateness of the valuation models used and assessing the valuation inputs; Involving our valuation specialists to assess the reasonableness of certain assumptions used in management’s calculations; • Assessing the allocation of the share- based payment expense over the relevant vesting period; and • Assessing the adequacy of the related disclosures in the annual report. 2 43 ANNUAL REPORT 2021CARAVEL MINERALS Other information The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2021, but does not include the financial report and the auditor’s report thereon. 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 and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of the directors for the Financial Report The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. 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: https://www.auasb.gov.au/admin/file/content102/c3/ar1_2020.pdf This description forms part of our auditor’s report. 44 3 CARAVEL MINERALSANNUAL REPORT 2021 Report on the Remuneration Report Opinion on the Remuneration Report We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 13 to 17 of the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2021.
