As I write this, Ironveld is supplying run of mine ore to a potential off-take partner, who is a specialist subsidiary of an international steel group and which could result in a longer-term testing period and off-take agreement. We have all the licences required to operate, have commenced the bulk sampling program and have a clear strategy in place to deliver value. I believe the Company is in a very strong position to begin materially extracting the inherent value in our VTM project. The supply of ore to the off-taker, puts the Company on the path of executing our stated strategy of mining our ore and processing on site. To recap on the year, the Board progressed with its earlier decision to shift its strategic focus from constructing a 15 MW Smelter to acquiring the 7.5 MW Middleburg Smelting facility and associated independent powerplant. In exchange for exclusivity, the Company put down a R7.0m refundable deposit towards the acquisition. The Middleburg facility would provide the Company with a readymade smelter, enabling early production and proof of product, significantly de-risking the Project whilst delivering cash flow and attractive economic returns. Whilst we did not execute the transaction, there remains the potential and opportunity to do. However, with recent, positive, developments in supplying run of mine ore to the off-taker, the focus is now firmly on achieving the most valuable outcome from this sampling programme, which would position, subject to a longer-term arrangement, the Company in facilitating such an acquisition as Middleburg and enable the Company to become a miner and processor of our ore on site. Access agreements were reached with the communities and affected land owners in the local area during the financial period. Following a period of engagement, and as I mentioned above, we were delighted to commence and the bulk sampling program in order to supply o run of mine ore post period to a potential off-take partner through a commercial sampling programme, which will see Ironveld initially deliver 10,000 tons of ore for testing. Initial grades analysis indicate that the Company’s ore should be amenable for successful processing in the off-taker’s facility and all operating costs associated with the sampling is being covered by payment for the ore. Should the Commercial Sample be successfully processed, the off-taker has indicated they may request to undertake a long- term test of a significantly larger sample, taken across the licence holdings of the Company for variability testing. The Company could expect to enter a long term off-take agreement if successful. The scale of the VTM resource in our project is capable not only of supplying a potential off-take partner in a long-term agreement but also support the development of our own smelting and production capacity. The Company’s project holds 1.4 billion pounds of Vanadium (V2O5) and 27 million tons of HPI in situ, the vanadium resources representing over four times the global annual demand. The demand for vanadium continues to grow, for the most part driven being driven by the advancement of vanadium redox battery technology which enables storage of energy in industrial and utility scale applications. HPI, as a water atomised powder, is mostly used in the automotive industry, powder metallurgy and magnetic materials. There is a growing demand for this product driven by the continuous introduction of new materials and technologies. Titanium slag is widely used in the pigment industry and is a key part of the development of new battery technology. Ironveld has also been investigating the possibility of producing titanium metal powders for the additive manufacturing industry. Post-period end, the Company has successfully completed a placing to raise £400,000 before expenses through a placing of 24,242,420 new ordinary shares at a price of 1.65 pence each. The proceeds of the placing will be used to acquire a secondary gyratory crusher and magnetic separation equipment that will be used to process the Company’s magnetite ore in line with the specifications set by a potential off-take partner for commercial scale testing and for general working capital purposes. The acquired equipment will significantly increase the Company’s current shipment rate. IRONVELD PLC 3 YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT - STRATEGIC REPORT (continued) We take our social licence to operate and our responsibility to the local communities around the Project very seriously and continue to work closely with stakeholders and local communities at grass root level to improve the standards of living. We remain committed to our Keep a Girl in School Programme initiative working alongside our partners, The Imbumba Foundation and the Nelson Mandela Foundation, to provide hygiene support to approximately 600 female students at school in the local area. Work began to introduce a support programme to encourage academic excellence amongst male students in the Project area, in cooperation with our partner the Imbuba Foundation. Financial The Group recorded a loss before tax of £0.5m (2017: £0.7m) and had cash balances of £0.5m (2017: £0.8m) at the end of the year. The Company does not plan to pay a dividend for the year ended 30 June 2018. Going concern The Company has sufficient working capital for its immediate needs, in particular to finalise the initial testing with the potential off-take partner. As explained above the Directors intend to enter into a period of longer term testing with the potential off-take partner, which could be expected to fund the Company for at least the next 12 months. If this does not occur the Directors are still confident that the company will be able to obtain sufficient working capital for the foreseeable future. Further details are provided in note 2.2 in the accounts. Outlook Ironveld's Board remains focused on moving the company forward to become a production led mining company. With the commercial sampling for the potential off-take partner taking place the Company expects to monetise its vast resources of HPI, Vanadium and Titanium. We would like to thank all of our shareholders for their ongoing support for both the Company and the Project and we look forward to providing further updates in the near future.

IRONVELD PLC 5 DIRECTORS' REPORT (continued) Substantial shareholdings As at 6 November 2018 the Company had been notified of the following holdings of 3% or more of its issued share capital other than the Directors' holdings set out on page 5: YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 Tracarta Limited Michinoko Limited Africa Asia Capital Limited Hargreaves Lansdown Asset Management Mr Brendan Kerr Barclays Wealth and Investment Management Interactive Investor Sharedealing Smith & Williamson Investment Mgt (London) Shore Capital Stockbrokers Halifax Share Dealing Number of ordinary shares Percentage 63,010,767 54,592,653 39,746,892 35,480,578 35,000,000 27,053,061 24,134,087 18,937,579 18,795,000 18,759,914 11.10% 9.61% 7.00% 6.25% 6.16% 4.76% 4.25% 3.33% 3.31% 3.30% Going concern In September 2018, the Company announced that it commenced the supply of unrefined ore to a potential off- take partner (“the Off-taker”), who is a specialist subsidiary of an international steel group. The Off-taker requested a sample of 10,000 tons for commercial scale testing (the “Commercial Sample”). Initial grade analysis indicated that the Company’s ore should be suitable for processing by the Off-taker and since the Commercial sample was requested, the Company has been shipping ore. The Company is being paid for the Commercial sample, such that the Company’s associated operating costs are to be covered. Should the Commercial Sample be successfully processed, the Off-taker has indicated that they may request to undertake a longer-term test of a significantly larger sample taken across the licence holdings of the Company for viability testing. It is anticipated that this extended testing programme could last for up to 12 months. Upon the successful conclusion of those extended tests, the Company could expect to enter into a long-term commercial off-take agreement with the Off-taker that sets it on a path to executing its stated strategy of mining its ore and processing on site. At the date of approval of these financial statements the initial testing of 10,000 tons remains incomplete and will not be finalised until after the approval of these financial statements. The Group’s present financial resources and existing facilities are only considered adequate to meet committed overhead expenditure for the period to February 2019 by which time the Directors anticipate completion of the initial testing and intend to enter into longer-term testing for a period of up to 12 months. Such extended testing is anticipated to provide the Company with sufficient funding for a period in excess of 12 months from the date of these financial statements. Should the Off-taker not enter into longer-term testing then the Company will need to find alternative funding for its committed expenditure and the Directors are confident that sufficient funds can be raised for this purpose and for any additional planned activity forming part of the next phase of the project. Therefore the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being twelve months from the date of the approval of the financial statements. The Group is committed to developing the Project and is actively engaged in raising finance to allow the full development to proceed. For this reason, the Board continues to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial statements. IRONVELD PLC 6 YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 DIRECTORS' REPORT (continued) Financial instruments The Group’s exposure to price risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow is discussed in the notes to the financial statements. The Group seeks to mitigate foreign currency risk by maintaining sufficient amounts of currency to satisfy the anticipated expenditure in each currency and does not use hedging instruments. Directors' indemnities The Company has made qualifying third party indemnity provisions for the benefit of its Directors which were in place during the year and remain in force at the date of this report. Statement of disclosure to auditors Each of the persons who is a Director at the date of approval of this annual report confirms that: • • so far as the Director is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Company's auditors are unaware; and the Director has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of the relevant audit information and to establish that the Company's auditors are aware of that information. This confirmation is given and should be interpreted in accordance with the provisions of s418 of the Companies Act 2006. This report was approved by the Board on 6 December 2018 and signed on its behalf by: K J Pinnell Company secretary IRONVELD PLC 7 YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT Code of best practice The Board acknowledges the importance of the UK Corporate Governance Code ("the Code") and has reviewed the Group's consistency with the provisions of the Code as appended to the Listing Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority. This statement explains how the Group has voluntarily applied principles of the Code and confirms that it has consistently complied with these throughout the period. The Board of Directors The Group is controlled and led by the Board of Directors with an established schedule of matters reserved for their specific approval. The Board meets regularly throughout the year and is responsible for the overall Group strategy, acquisition and divestment policy, approval of major capital expenditure and consideration of significant financial matters. It reviews the strategic direction of the Company and its individual subsidiaries, their annual budgets, their progress towards achievement of these budgets and their capital expenditure programmes. The role of the Chairman is to supervise the Board and to ensure its effective control of the business, and that of the Chief Executive is to manage the Group on the Board's behalf. All Board members have access, at all times, to sufficient information about the business, to enable them to fully discharge their duties. Also, procedures exist covering the circumstances under which the Directors may need to obtain independent professional advice. The Board has established the following committees to fulfil specific functions: The Audit Committee comprises Giles Clarke, Nicholas Harrison and Rupert Fraser. It has been established to determine the terms of engagement of the Group's auditors and will determine, in consultation with the auditors, the scope of the audit. The Audit Committee will receive and review reports from management and the Group's auditors relating to the interim and annual accounts and the accounting and internal control systems in use throughout the Group. The Audit Committee will have unrestricted access to the Group's auditors and internal control procedures. Due to the nature and size of the Group at present it would not be appropriate for the Group to have its own internal audit department reporting directly to the Audit Committee, this situation is reviewed annually. The Remuneration Committee comprises Giles Clarke, Nicholas Harrison and Rupert Fraser. It has been established to review the scale and structure of the Executive Directors' and senior employees' remuneration and the terms of their respective service or employment contracts, including share option schemes and other bonus arrangements. The remuneration and terms and conditions of the Non-Executive Directors of the Company will be set by the Board. The Nomination Committee comprises Giles Clarke, Nicholas Harrison and Rupert Fraser. It has been established to review the structure, size and composition (including the skills, knowledge and experience) required of the Board compared to its current position and make recommendations to the Board with regard to any changes. Status of Non-Executive directors None of the Non-Executive Directors would be deemed independent under the UK Corporate Governance Code, however, the Non-Executive Directors have considerable experience which the Company draws upon on a regular basis. In addition, the Non-Executive Directors are sufficiently independent of management so as to be able to exercise independent judgement and bring an objective viewpoint and, thereby, protect and promote the interests of shareholders. IRONVELD PLC 8 YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT (continued) Internal control The Board is responsible for ensuring that the Group maintains adequate internal control over the business and its assets. The effectiveness of the Group's system of internal financial controls, for the year to 30 June 2018 and for the period to the date of approval of the financial statements, has been reviewed by the Directors. Whilst they are aware that no system can provide for absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss, they are satisfied that effective controls are in place. On the wider aspects of internal control, relating to operational and compliance controls and risk management, the Board, in setting the control environment, identifies, reviews, and regularly reports on the key areas of business risk facing the Group. The Group Board and subsidiary Boards maintain close day to day involvement in all of the Group's activities which enables control to be achieved and maintained. This includes the comprehensive review of both management and technical reports, the monitoring of interest rates, environmental considerations, government and fiscal policy issues, employment and information technology requirements and cash control procedures. In this way, the key risk areas can be monitored effectively and specialist expertise applied in a timely and productive manner. Relations with shareholders The Company maintains effective contact with its principal shareholders and welcomes communications from its private investors.

G Clarke Chairman of the Remuneration Committee IRONVELD PLC 11 YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES The Directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Company law requires the Directors to prepare such financial statements for each financial period. Under that law the Directors are required to prepare Group financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union and have also chosen to prepare the parent Company financial statements under IFRSs as adopted by the European Union. Under Company law the Directors must not approve the accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of the profit or loss of the Company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, International Accounting Standard 1 requires that Directors: - - - - properly select and apply accounting policies; present information, including accounting policies, in a manner that provides relevant, reliable, comparable and understandable information; provide additional disclosures when compliance with the specific requirements in IFRS are insufficient to enable users to understand the impact of particular transactions, other events and conditions on the entity's financial position and financial performance; and make an assessment of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The Directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the Company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. Directors' responsibility statement We confirm that to the best of our knowledge: 1. the financial statements, prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union, give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the Company and the undertakings included in the consolidation taken as a whole; and 2. the strategic report includes a fair review of the development and performance of the business and the position of the Company and the undertakings included in the consolidation taken as a whole, together with a description of the principal risks and uncertainties that they face. 3. the annual report and financial statements, taken as a whole, are fair, balanced and understandable and provide the information necessary for shareholders to assess the Company's performance, business model and strategy. On behalf of the Board P Cox Director 6 December 2018 IRONVELD PLC 12 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF IRONVELD PLC YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 Our opinion is unmodified We have audited the financial statements of Ironveld Plc for the year ended 30 June 2018 which comprise the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated and the parent Company balance sheets, the consolidated and parent Company cash flow statements, the consolidated and parent Company statements of changes in equity and the related notes 1 to 24. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) as adopted by the European Union. In our opinion: the financial statements • • • give a true and fair view of the Group’s and the parent Company's affairs as at 30 June 2018 and of the Group's loss for the year then ended; have been properly prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union; and have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (“ISAs (UK)”) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard as applied to SME listed entities, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. 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 2.1 in the financial statements. As stated, these conditions, along with the other matters as set out in note 2.2, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. The financial statements do not include the adjustments that would result if the Group and Company were unable to continue as a going concern. Key audit matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period and include the most significant assessed risks of material misstatement (whether or not due to fraud) we identified, including those which had the greatest effect on: the overall audit strategy, the allocation of resources in the audit; and directing the efforts of the engagement team. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Going concern The Group remains in the exploration and evaluation phase of its activities and is therefore not yet generated significant revenue. The Company does not have significant borrowings and is therefore reliant on funding obtained from its investors to be able to meet its ongoing working capital requirements. Going concern is therefore a risk if the Company were to have commitments in excess of its available resources. The going concern assessment is subjective and involves uncertainty about future events. IRONVELD PLC 13 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF IRONVELD PLC (continued) YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 Key audit matters (continued) Our procedures included:- - Review of the Groups budgeting and forecasting procedures; - Assessment and review of the funds available to the Group; - Evaluation of the reasonableness of the forecast overheads for the Group; - Review of the forecasts against historical performance; - Assessing the adequacy of the disclosures relating to going concern. Impairment review of exploration and evaluation assets The Group adopts the accounting requirements of International Financial Reporting Standard 6 “Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources”. This standard exempts the Company from an impairment review providing that the Company has not completed the exploration and evaluation phase of its activities and no other indicators of impairment exist. These key judgements result in a risk that the incorrect accounting treatment has been applied in that the intangible asset has not been subjected to an impairment review. In addition, the carrying amount of the investment in subsidiary companies, held in the parent Company balance sheet, is underpinned by the exploration and evaluation asset and the existence of such impairment indicators would indicate an impairment in the carrying amount. Our procedures included:- - Review of the Group plans and announcements for the future; - Consideration of whether the finance is in place and commitments have been made to the development of the mineral resource; - Review of the existence of impairment indicators including, access to the mineral asset and the desire of the Group to continue the Project; - Evaluating the adequacy and consistency of the disclosures made by the Directors in the annual report. Our application of materiality and an overview of the scope of our audit. Materiality for the Group financial statements as a whole was set at £350,000 determined by reference to a benchmark of total assets. This represents 1.3% of total assets and 1.6% of net assets. As the Group has no significant trading activity, we consider the asset position of the Group to provide the most appropriate benchmark. Materiality for the parent Company was also set at £350,000 representing 1.5% of net assets. We agreed to report to the Audit Committee any corrected and uncorrected identified misstatements exceeding £17,500, in addition to other identified misstatements that warranted reporting on qualitative grounds. Our Group audit was scoped based on our understanding of the Group, the work of the component auditors and by assessing the risks of material misstatement at Group level. Based on that assessment, we identified the Group as containing 3 reporting components being, United Kingdom, Mauritius and South Africa which represented 21% of the Group’s net assets. The United Kingdom component was subjected to a full scope audit, the Mauritius component was deemed immaterial to the Group in that its material balances were eliminated on consolidation and the South Africa component was subject to a full scope audit by component auditors other than ourselves. We therefore subjected the South Africa component to further specified audit procedures, the extent of our testing being based on our assessment of the risk of material misstatement and of the materiality of the area, applying Group materiality. IRONVELD PLC 14 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF IRONVELD PLC (continued) YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 Other information The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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. Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: • • the information given in the Chairman’s statement and the Directors’ report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and the Chairman’s statement and the Directors’ report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. Matters on which we are required to report by exception In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Chairman’s statement or the Directors’ report. Under the Companies Act 2006 we are required to report to you if, in our opinion: • • adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent Company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or the parent Company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or • certain disclosures of Directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or • we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. We have nothing to report in these respects. Responsibilities of directors As explained more fully in the Directors’ responsibilities statement on page 11, the Directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s and parent Company’s ability 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 Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. IRONVELD PLC 15 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF IRONVELD PLC (continued) YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are 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 ISAs (UK) 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 these financial statements. A fuller description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report. The purpose of our audit work and to whom we owe our responsibilities This report is made solely to the Parent Company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Parent Company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors’ report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Parent Company and the Parent Company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. 6 December 2018 David Symonds Senior Statutory Auditor for and on behalf of UHY Hacker Young Manchester LLP Statutory Auditor Chartered Accountants St. James Building 79 Oxford Street Manchester M1 6HT IRONVELD PLC 16 CONSOLIDATED INCOME STATEMENT Administrative expenses Operating loss Investment revenues Finance costs Loss before tax Tax Loss for the year Attributable to: Owners of the Company Non-controlling interests Note 4 6 7 8 Year ended 2018 £000 (570) (570) 41 (7) (536) - (536) (535) (1) (536) YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 Year ended 2017 £000 (553) (553) 1 (185) (737) - (737) (737) - (737) Loss per share- Basic and diluted 9 (0.10p) (0.20p) There is no difference between the results as disclosed above and the results on a historical cost basis.

General information Ironveld Plc is a public company incorporated in the United Kingdom under the Companies Act 2006 whose shares are listed on the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange. The address of the registered office is given on page 2. The nature of the Group's operations and its principal activities are set out in note 3 and in the Strategic Report on pages 3 to 4. Adoption of new and revised Standards There were no new or amended IFRS standards or IFRIC interpretations adopted for the first time in these financial statements that had a material impact on the financial statements. At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, the following accounting standards, amendments to existing standards and interpretations are not yet effective and have not been adopted early by the Group. IFRS 2 (amended) IFRS4 (amended) IFRS 9 (2014) IFRS 10 &IAS 28 (amended) IFRS 15 (Clarification) IFRS 16 IFRS 17 IFRIC 22 IAS40 (amended) Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions Applying IFRS9 Insurance contracts IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (2014) Sale or Contribution of Assets between investors and its Associates Revenue from Contracts with Customers Leases Insurance contracts Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration Transfer of Investment property Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2014-2016 Cycle. The adoption of these standards, amendments and interpretations is not expected to have a material impact on the Group and Company’s result for the year or equity. 2.1 Significant accounting policies The financial statements are based on the following policies which have been consistently applied: Basis of preparation The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union. The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. The principal accounting policies are set out below: Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and all entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries) made up to the year end. Control is achieved where the Company has power to govern the financial and operating policies of an investee entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of their acquisition, being the date on which the Company obtains control and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of the subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. IRONVELD PLC 26 YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2.1 Significant accounting policies (continued) Basis of consolidation (continued) Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are identified separately from the Group's equity therein. Those interests of non-controlling shareholders are initially measured at their proportionate share of the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Subsequent to acquisition, the carrying value of the non-controlling interests is the amount of initial recognition plus the non-controlling interests' share of the subsequent changes in equity. Changes in the Group's interests in subsidiaries that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amount of the Group's interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non- controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to the owners of the Company. Business combinations Acquisitions of subsidiaries are accounted for using acquisition accounting. The consideration for each acquisition is measured at the fair value of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed and equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control in the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are recognised in the income statement as incurred. Exploration and evaluation Costs incurred prior to acquiring the rights to explore are charged directly to the income statement. Licence acquisition costs and all other costs incurred after the rights to explore an area have been obtained, such as the direct costs of exploration and appraisal (including geological, drilling, trenching, sampling, technical feasibility and commercial viability activities) are accumulated and capitalised as intangible exploration and evaluation (“E&E”) assets, pending determination. Amounts charged to project partners in respect of costs previously capitalised are deducted as contributions received in determining the accumulated cost of E&E assets. E&E assets are not amortised prior to the conclusion of the appraisal activities. At completion of appraisal activities, if financial and technical feasibility is demonstrated and commercial reserves are discovered then, following development sanctions, the carrying value of the relevant E&E asset will be reclassified as a development and production asset in intangible assets after the carrying value has been assessed for impairment and, where appropriate adjusted. If after completion of the appraisal of the area it is not possible to determine technical and commercial feasibility or if the legal rights have expired or if the Group decide to not continue activities in the area, then the cost of unsuccessful exploration and evaluation are written off to the income statement in the relevant period. The Group's definition of commercial reserves for such purposes is proved and probable reserves on an entitlement basis. Proved and probable reserves are the estimated quantities of minerals which geological, geophysical and engineering data demonstrate with a specified degree of certainty to be recoverable in future years from the known reserves and which are considered to be commercially producible. Such reserves are considered commercially producible if management has the intention of developing and producing them and such intention is based upon: - - - - - a reasonable expectation that there is a market for substantially all of the expected production; a reasonable assessment of the future economics of such production; evidence that the necessary production, transmission and transportation facilities are available or can be made available; and agreement of appropriate funding; and the making of the final investment decision. IRONVELD PLC 27 YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2.1 Significant accounting policies (continued) Exploration and evaluation (continued) On an annual basis a review for impairment indicators is performed. If an indicator of impairment exists an impairment review is performed. The recoverable amount is then considered to be the higher of the fair value less costs of sale or its value in use. Any identified impairment is written off to the income statement in the period identified. Development and production assets Development and production assets, classified within property, plant and equipment, are accumulated generally on a field basis and represents the cost of developing the commercial reserves discovered and bringing them into production, together with the E&E expenditure incurred in finding the commercial reserves transferred from intangible assets. Depreciation of producing assets The net book values of producing assets are depreciated generally on the field basis using the unit or production method by reference to the ratio of production in the period and the related commercial reserves of the field, taking into account the future development expenditure necessary to bring those reserves to production. Research and development Research expenditure is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. An internally-generated asset arising from any development is recognised only if all of the following conditions are met: - - - an asset is created that can be identified; it is probable that the asset created will generate future economic benefits; and the development cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Revenue Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts and value added tax. Taxation The tax expense represents the sum of the tax payable and deferred tax. Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax base used in the calculation of the taxable profit and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised on all appropriate taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the deductible timing differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to be applicable in the period when the liability or asset is realised and is based on tax laws and rates substantially enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is charged in the income statement except where it relates to items charged/credited in other comprehensive income, in which case the tax is also dealt with in other comprehensive income. IRONVELD PLC 28 YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2.1 Significant accounting policies (continued) Leases Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the income statement on a straight line basis over the lease term. Property, plant and equipment Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less the estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows: Plant and machinery 10% - 25% straight line basis or reducing balance basis Foreign currencies The individual financial statements of each group company are presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates (its functional currency). For the purposes of the consolidated financial statements, the results and financial position of each group company are expressed in pounds sterling, which is the functional currency of the Company, and the presentation currency for the consolidated financial statements. In preparing the financial statements of the individual companies, transactions in currencies other than the entity's functional currency are recognised at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the date the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Exchange differences are recognised in the income statement in the period in which they arise. When presenting the consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group's foreign operations are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates have fluctuated significantly in which case the rates at the date of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity (attributed to non-controlling interests where appropriate). Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated using the closing rate. Financial instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the Group's balance sheet when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Other receivables Other receivables are measured at initial recognition at fair value, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method except for short-term receivables when recognition of interest would be immaterial. Appropriate allowances for the estimated irrecoverable amounts are recognised in the income statement when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, and other short term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. IRONVELD PLC 29 YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2.1 Significant accounting policies (continued) Financial instruments (continued) Financial liability and equity Interest bearing bank loans and overdrafts are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Finance charges, including premiums payable on settlement or redemption and direct issue costs, are accounted for on an accrual basis in the income statement using the effective interest rate method and are added to the carrying amount of the instrument to the extent that they are not settled in the period in which they arise. The Group classifies financial instruments, or their component parts, on initial recognition as a financial asset, financial liability or an equity instrument in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. Financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently amortised using the effective interest method. Fair value is estimated from available market data and reference to other instruments considered to be substantially the same. Trade and other payables Trade payables and other financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. The Group's activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in interest rates on borrowings. Investments Investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less any provision for the permanent diminution in value. Share-based payments The Group issues equity-settled share-based payments to certain employees and other parties. Equity settled share-based payments are measured at fair value at the date of grant. In respect of employee related share based payments, the fair value determined at the grant date is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group's estimate of shares that will eventually vest. In respect of other share based payments, the fair value is determined at the date of grant and recognised when the associated goods or services are received. Operating segments The Group considers itself to have one operating segment in the year and further information is provided in note 3. Going concern The Directors have, at the time of approving the financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the Company and the Group will have adequate resources to continue in operating existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. Further details are provided in the note 2.2 and in the Strategic Report on pages 3 to 4. The financial statements therefore do not include the adjustments that would result if the Group and Company were unable to continue as a going concern. IRONVELD PLC 30 YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2.2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements The Group makes estimates and assumptions regarding the future. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. Fair value of acquisition On acquisition of a subsidiary, the Company is required to estimate the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired and the consideration paid. The estimate in respect of exploration and evaluation assets is affected by many factors including the future viability of commercial reserves which have been based on the judgement of directors supported by third party technical reports. Going concern In September 2018, the Company announced that it commenced the supply of unrefined ore to a potential off- take partner (“the Off-taker”), who is a specialist subsidiary of an international steel group. The Off-taker requested a sample of 10,000 tons for commercial scale testing (the “Commercial Sample”). Initial grade analysis indicated that the Company’s ore should be suitable for processing by the Off-taker and since the Commercial sample was requested, the Company has been shipping ore. The Company is being paid for the Commercial sample, such that the Company’s associated operating costs are to be covered. Should the Commercial Sample be successfully processed, the Off-taker has indicated that they may request to undertake a longer-term test of a significantly larger sample taken across the licence holdings of the Company for viability testing. It is anticipated that this extended testing programme could last for up to 12 months. Upon the successful conclusion of those extended tests, the Company could expect to enter into a long-term commercial off-take agreement with the Off-taker that sets it on a path to executing its stated strategy of mining its ore and processing on site. At the date of approval of these financial statements the initial testing of 10,000 tons remains incomplete and will not be finalised until after the approval of these financial statements. The Group’s present financial resources and existing facilities are only considered adequate to meet committed overhead expenditure for the period to February 2019 by which time the Directors anticipate completion of the initial testing and intend to enter into longer-term testing for a period of up to 12 months. Such extended testing is anticipated to provide the Company with sufficient funding for a period in excess of 12 months from the date of these financial statements. Should the Off-taker not enter into longer-term testing then the Company will need to find alternative funding for its committed expenditure and the Directors are confident that sufficient funds can be raised for this purpose and for any additional planned activity forming part of the next phase of the project. Therefore the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being twelve months from the date of the approval of the financial statements. The Group is committed to developing the Project and is actively engaged in raising finance to allow the full development to proceed. For this reason, the Board continues to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial statements. Fair value of share based payments Calculation of the fair value of the share based payments issued requires estimates to be used for the share price volatility, the risk free rate and the model used to calculate the fair value. IRONVELD PLC 31 YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2.2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements (continued) Exploration and evaluation assets The Group has adopted a policy of capitalising the costs of exploration and evaluation and carrying the amount without impairment assessment until impairment indicators exist (as permitted by IFRS 6). The directors consider that the Group remains in the exploration and evaluation phase and therefore, under IFRS 6, the directors have to make judgements as to whether any indicators of impairment exist and the future activities of the Group. No such indicators of impairment were identified and therefore no impairment review has been carried out. Deferred tax assets The directors must judge whether the future profitability of the Group is likely in making the decision whether or not to recognise a deferred tax asset in respect of taxation losses. No deferred tax assets have been recognised in the year. Useful lives of property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are amortised or depreciated over their useful lives. Useful lives are based on the management's estimates of the period that the assets will generate revenue, which are based on judgement and experience and periodically reviewed for continued appropriateness. Changes to estimates can result in significant variations in the carrying value and amounts charged to the consolidated income statement in specific periods. 3. Business and geographical segments Information reported to the Group Directors for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance is focused on the activity of each segment and its geographical location. The directors consider that there is only one business segment, which is the activity of prospecting, exploration and mining based in South Africa. 4. Operating loss Operating loss for the year is shown after charging: Net foreign exchange gains/(losses) Depreciation on tangible assets Lease payments under operating leases Auditors’ remuneration Fees payable to the auditors for the audit of the Company's accounts Fees payable to the Company's auditors and its associates for other services:- The audit of the Company's subsidiaries Tax compliance services Other assurance services Year Ended 2018 £000 Year ended 2017 £000 - 2 43 35 13 13 33 3 6 34 28 8 3 8 IRONVELD PLC 32 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 5.

Where the Group reports a loss for the current period, then in accordance with IAS 33, the share options are not considered dilutive. Details of such instruments which could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future are included in note 19. Under IAS 33, the share warrants in issue during the year were not considered to be diluting as the market price throughout the period was below the exercise price of the warrants in issue.

Financial instruments The Group's policies as regards derivatives and financial instruments are set out in the accounting policies in note 2. The Group does not trade in financial instruments. Capital risk management The Group manages its capital to ensure that they will be able to continue as a going concern whilst maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. The Group's overall strategy remains unchanged from 2017. The capital structure of the Group consists of debt, which includes the borrowings disclosed in note 16, cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to equity holders of the parent Company. The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. Interest rate risk profile The Group is exposed to interest rate risk because the Group borrows funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. The Group's exposures to interest rates on financial assets and financial liabilities are detailed in the liquidity risk management section of this note. Credit risk management Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Group's exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of the transactions concluded is spread where possible. Liquidity Risk Management Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, which has established an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Group's short, medium and long term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by assessing required reserves and banking facilities by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. Details of additional undrawn bank facilities that the Group has at its disposal to manage liquidity are set out below. Financial facilities The Group did not have any secured bank loan or overdraft facilities during the current or comparative period. Financial assets The Group has no financial assets, other than short-term receivables and cash deposits of £517,000 (2017 - £788,000). The cash deposits attract variable rates of interest.
