EAGLE MOUNTAIN MINING | 2023 Annual Report Chairman’s
Letter
Dear Shareholders,
I am pleased to present Eagle Mountain Mining’s FY23
Annual Report, outlining the significant progress and
accomplishments the Company has made during the year
towards its aim of becoming a sustainable low-emission
copper producer at its high-grade Oracle Ridge Copper
Project in Arizona, USA.
The Oracle Ridge Copper Project is a high-quality
project in a Tier 1 jurisdiction, and the Eagle Mountain
Mining team continued work throughout the financial
year to enhance our understanding of the geology,
build the copper resource, and to determine an optimal
development pathway. This work included a maiden
underground drilling program, underground channel
sampling, resource upgrade, and technical evaluations.

EAGLE MOUNTAIN MINING | 2023 Annual Report
EAGLE MOUNTAIN MINING | 2023 Annual Report The drilling and sampling programs delivered
excellent results and provided us with invaluable
insights into the mineralisation and resource that
we look to develop. The combination of both high-
grade mineralisation, along with broader lower
grade zones, provides optionality for future mine
and processing designs which will be considered as
the Eagle Mountain Mining team progress technical
evaluations.
The project has many unique benefits, positioning
us for a near-term development. The existing
underground infrastructure provides scope for cost-
effective operations with minimal environmental
impact. The Company has been focused on ensuring
Oracle Ridge Copper Mine is a low-impact project by
utilising clean energy sources where possible and
minimizing impact on the surrounding environment.
With copper being recognized in the US as a critical
mineral, we look forward to being able to support
the transition towards cleaner energy, contribute
to closing the copper supply gap and creating local
jobs.
The Company is proud of its efforts to help support
the local community by providing employment
for locals as well as continuing to support local
communities’ sporting teams and the local fire
departments during the last year.
On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank all
our dedicated team at Eagle Mountain Mining
for their efforts and ongoing commitment. We
have an excellent team, led by an equally talented
and dedicated management team including our
Managing Director, Charles Bass and CEO, Tim
Mason.
In closing, I would like to thank our shareholders and
other stakeholders who supported the Company
during the year. We thank our shareholders for
their patience and continued investment, and our
broader stakeholders for their cooperation and
understanding as we together work towards our
goal of sustainably supplying copper to a rapidly
growing green energy market. Your support is very
much appreciated and I look forward to sharing with
you further progress in the coming financial year.
Yours faithfully
Rick Crabb

EAGLE MOUNTAIN MINING | 2023 Annual Report Chief Executive
Officer’s Letter
Dear Shareholders,
FY23 was a very productive year for Eagle Mountain
Mining as we built upon prior exploration work to grow
and better position our existing resource at Oracle
Ridge Copper Project for development.
Our flagship Oracle Ridge Copper Project in Arizona
provides a tremendous opportunity for Eagle
Mountain Mining to become a major supplier of
copper within America, and deliver value for our
shareholders and broader stakeholders. Copper
is a core requirement in the global electrification
process currently gathering momentum, and its
positive outlook is independent of the adoption of any
particular renewable energy and storage technology
under development.
Furthermore, copper was recently included on the
critical minerals list by the US Department of Energy.
This position recognizes copper as a being critical for
clean energy technologies, with a long term vision to
have secure domestic critical mineral and materials
supply chains. This not only supports the positive
demand outlook for copper and copper prices, but
also development of copper resources domestically in
the US, which bodes very well for the development of
Oracle Ridge Copper Project.

EAGLE MOUNTAIN MINING | 2023 Annual Report
EAGLE MOUNTAIN MINING | 2023 Annual Report Our strategic focus in FY23 continued to be the
de-risking a potential mining restart at Oracle
Ridge Copper Mine. During the year we conducted
a maiden underground drilling program and
channel sampling which provided a far deeper
understanding of the mineralisation. The Oracle
Ridge Copper Project now has a significant total
resource of 16.5Mt at 1.45% Copper at a 1% Cut-
off, with more than half in the higher confidence
Measured and Indicated categories. The Project
includes a combination of both high-grade
mineralisation, along with broader lower-grade
zones, providing optionality for future mine
and processing designs. At lower cut-off grades,
the mineralisation become increasingly thick,
thereby supporting higher extraction rates which
may enhance the project economics. While a
further resource update is due shortly, we have
commenced various technical evaluations to
support future studies. The development optionality
significantly improves the project’s risk profile, in
addition to being able to leverage the significant
existing infrastructure near the site for a low capital
cost restart.
From a sustainability viewpoint, we continue a
strong focus on being a low-emission and low-
disturbance project. The use of renewable power
and generation options will support our goal of
being a low-impact mine. As an underground mine,
Oracle Ridge Copper Mine will also provide a low
level of disturbance to the environment and allow
us to utilise techniques that have minimal impact
on the natural environment surrounding the
project. We will investigate gravity feeding methods
to provide a low carbon footprint compared to
traditional methods that would be typically used in
open pit mining operations or deep underground
mines.
Our strategy also takes into consideration the
broader economic, environmental and social
impacts of our activities. The restart of Oracle Ridge
Copper Mine will provide ample employment and
economic opportunities for the local community
and businesses, and we continue to support local
stakeholders as we progress the development of
the project. I am proud that we have continued to
support local communities’ sporting teams and fire
departments during the last year.
As I write this letter, market conditions continue
to be volatile, especially for explorers and
emerging producers such as Eagle Mountain
Mining. This continues to overhang our share
price. Notwithstanding this, we believe our
strategy will deliver value to our shareholders and
stakeholders, and we will continue its execution with
a considered and disciplined approach to capital
management. Therefore, I would like to thank all of
our shareholders for their patience, and for their
continued support of the Company.
Finally, I would like to thank our dedicated
employees, contractors and business partners in
the USA and Australia who worked passionately
over the last year. Their efforts and contributions
have achieved key milestones as we work towards
becoming a domestic producer of green copper to
support global decarbonization.
Yours faithfully
Tim Mason
Chief Executive Officer

EAGLE MOUNTAIN MINING | 2023 Annual Report Review of Operations
Eagle Mountain Mining Limited (“Eagle Mountain Mining”, “Company”) owns 100% of the Oracle Ridge
Copper Mine and Silver Mountain projects in Arizona.
Arizona is a Tier 1 mining jurisdiction1 which hosts many large copper mines and projects operated by
major mining companies including BHP, Rio Tinto, Freeport-McMoran, Asarco, Hudbay and South 32.
The Company’s projects are prospective for both high-grade copper-silver-gold mineralisation and large-
scale copper systems. Activities during the year focused primarily on the Oracle Ridge Copper Project.
Eagle Mountain Mining’s mission is to become a low-emission producer of copper which is vital for the
decarbonisation of the global economy. We are planning for future mining operations to have a strong
focus on reducing emissions by using battery or electric powered mining equipment and sourcing or
producing renewable energy where possible.
The Oracle Ridge Copper Project benefits from its resource being located on a hill and the use of gravity
as part of the mine design could further reduce energy consumption which also reduces emissions.
More than 70 countries2 have renewed targets for decarbonisation of their economies and copper is a
key metal for reducing the use of fossil fuels. We are driven by our vision to supply the copper for a
greener global future, but also to supply that copper via a low-emission process.
Oracle Ridge Copper Project (100%)
The Oracle Ridge Copper Mine is located northeast of Tucson and 26 kilometres from BHP’s San Manuel
mine, once the largest underground mine in the USA. The site is accessible by road and is supported by
a nearby railway and a copper smelter in the state. Figure 1 shows the location of the Oracle Ridge
Copper Project.
Figure 1 - Location of Oracle Ridge Copper Project
The Oracle Ridge Copper Mine is an advanced stage project containing a high-grade copper resource
with significant gold and silver credits. Mineralisation at Oracle Ridge Copper Mine is skarn-hosted which
is common at many porphyry deposits in Arizona. The source of the mineralisation at Oracle Ridge has
not been found and it remains a key exploration opportunity.
The project benefits from 18 kilometres of existing underground development, recently refurbished,
along with other supporting infrastructure such as roads, mining services and power at nearby towns.

Exploration
Eagle Mountain Mining continued various aspects of exploration during the year including drilling from
surface and underground, along with channel sampling of exposed mineralisation from existing tunnels.
Over 24,000 metres of diamond drilling for 90 holes was undertaken during the financial year from both
surface and underground. The aim of the drilling program was to further build and upgrade mineral
resources.

EAGLE MOUNTAIN MINING | 2023 Annual Report
RReeccoommmmiissssiioonniinngg ooff tthhee UUnnddeerrggrroouunndd MMiinnee
During the year, the Company completed recommissioning of parts of the existing underground mine.
Access to the existing underground mine enabled diamond drilling, channel sampling and mapping to
be conducted from underground.
The Oracle Ridge Copper Mine includes over 18 kilometres of existing underground development,
accessed from two portals, with over 90% of the existing mine accessible from these portals not
requiring dewatering. The underground recommissioning completed included installation and servicing
of electrical, water and air services, followed by progressive checks and rehabilitation of underground
tunnels as required.
The channel sampling program proved significant, as the results exposed broad zones of mineralisation
presenting upside to the current resource model. This contributed to the decision to undertake an
updated MRE to be released later in 2023.
Underground mine refurbishment in progress
The continuous upgrade and understanding of the resource model is assisting in creating optionality
for future mining and processing.
Results from 44 underground channels were received during the year, comprising over 600 metres of
horizontal sampling. Channel sample results received during the year (refer ASX announcements dated
16 May 2023, 20 July 2023 and 18 September 2023) included:

Exploration activities during the year continued to demonstrate further resource expansion potential.
This included various existing mines such as the Daily mine area, Geesaman mine area, Hartman
Homestake mine area, the Stratton mine area and OREX.
Historical Daily Mine Area
The Daily mine area is entirely outside the existing resource. Drilling in this area was targeted at potential
extensions to previously mined mineralisation. The drilling results showed multiple strong intercepts
including (refer ASX announcement dated 21 April 2023):
• 3.20% Cu, 117.84g/t Ag and 0.28g/t Au over 6.7m (WT-22-172)

• 5.54% Cu, 48.30g/t Ag and 0.12g/t Au over 0.6m (WT-22-168)
Historical Geesaman Mine Area
Six resource expansion holes were drilled in the north-east of the existing mineral resource near the
historical Geesaman mine workings. The drilling intercepted some high-grade narrow zones which
indicates that mineralisation extends towards the north-east and Geesaman mine workings. Results

During the year, the Company completed recommissioning of parts of the existing underground mine.
Access to the existing underground mine enabled diamond drilling, channel sampling and mapping to
be conducted from underground.
The Oracle Ridge Copper Mine includes over 18 kilometres of existing underground development,
accessed from two portals, with over 90% of the existing mine accessible from these portals not
requiring dewatering. The underground recommissioning completed included installation and servicing
of electrical, water and air services, followed by progressive checks and rehabilitation of underground
tunnels as required.
The channel sampling program proved significant, as the results exposed broad zones of mineralisation
presenting upside to the current resource model. This contributed to the decision to undertake an
updated MRE to be released later in 2023.

EAGLE MOUNTAIN MINING | 2023 Annual Report
Hartman-Homestake Mine Area
OREX
The Hartman-Homestake mine is believed to have been operational in the early 1900’s. During the year,
a review of historical reports highlighted the existence of underground workings covering an area of
approximately 100 by 100 metres. Also, historical samples reported on underground maps showed
encouraging base metal values. Preliminary observations from a reconnaissance visit showed the
following (refer to Figure 3):
• The local geology includes skarn-altered Abrigo Formation, a geological unit hosting significant
copper, silver, gold mineralisation at Oracle Ridge Copper Project;
• Skarn alteration and copper mineralisation abound in underground exposure and appear to be
structurally controlled. The key feature of the area is a northeast-southwest trending fault which
seems to focus the mineralisation. This structure is interpreted to be a southwestern splay of
the regionally significant Geesaman Fault to the north; and
• 20 rock-chip samples4 collected across the underground workings returned several high-grade
assays, with significant results shown in Figure 3.
Stratton Mine Area
The Stratton area is situated approximately 600 metres to the west of the Leatherwood mine at the
Southern Talon area (Figure 3). Reconnaissance mapping completed during the year covered the
easternmost adits in this group of workings as well as outcropping mineralisation in the vicinity. All rock-
chips returned copper values exceeding 1% Cu. Assay results show a chemistry similar to Oracle Ridge
Copper Mine, with copper and silver associated with gold rather than lead and zinc, as observed at the
Hartman-Homestake mine. This is consistent with the mineralisation defined in the current MRE model.
Based on encouraging results from an initial field mapping program, surface rock chip samples
confirmed extensive occurrences of outcropping skarn-hosted copper-silver-gold mineralisation along
the lower contact of the Leatherwood intrusive and the skarn horizon. Over 100 grab samples were
collected with many returning high-grade mineralisation. The limestone formations and resulting skarn
are very similar to those encountered at the Oracle Ridge mine. The Company believes that the
prospective contact exists at depth below the Leatherwood for approximately three kilometres in an
east-west direction. Permit applications to the United States Forest Service for drilling on parts of the
OREX prospect were progressed during the year.

The evaluations are focused on production primarily from the existing Measured and Indicated
resources and will evaluate alternate mining scenarios to optimise returns, including larger scale
operations using the materially larger resource base at lower cut-off grades, or a smaller higher-grade
operation with selective mining. Recent advancements in equipment and process technologies will also
be considered with a view to lowering operating costs and increasing efficiencies for the Project.
A key project benefit is the previous production history and permitting. The current project permitting

In June 2023 the Company announced a new Mineral Resource Estimate was underway following the
extensive new knowledge gained from the underground mapping and channel sampling program, as
well as incorporating all assays received since October 2022.
The variability of mineralisation recognised from the underground mapping and channel sampling
provides optionality for mining and processing. This is supported by the steep tonnage and contained
metal increases from the current October 2022 MRE at various cut-off grades, as shown in Figure 6.
Technical Evaluations
During the financial year, Eagle Mountain Mining commenced various technical evaluations to assess
options for future mining and processing operations at Oracle Ridge Copper Project. These evaluations
were based on an underground mining operation and will consider various potential processing options.
A key part of the Company’s strategy is to develop an environmentally friendly and low emissions copper
mine to benefit all stakeholders. The Oracle Ridge Copper Mine is uniquely placed to deliver on this with
its topography, minimal existing surface footprint and extensive existing underground mine
infrastructure. The evaluations will leverage these unique characteristics of the Project and will aim to
achieve high levels of energy self-sufficiency while minimising surface impacts. The potential to produce
copper metal on site for domestic US consumption will also be considered together with the potential
to grow existing resources for long term project sustainability.
The recent underground drilling, sampling and mapping activities together with the results of drilling
conducted by Eagle Mountain Mining over the past two and a half years and by previous owners have
provided the confidence to move to technical evaluations, including processing, mining, infrastructure,
environmental and permitting.

In June 2023 the Company announced a new Mineral Resource Estimate was underway following the
extensive new knowledge gained from the underground mapping and channel sampling program, as
well as incorporating all assays received since October 2022.
The variability of mineralisation recognised from the underground mapping and channel sampling
provides optionality for mining and processing. This is supported by the steep tonnage and contained
metal increases from the current October 2022 MRE at various cut-off grades, as shown in Figure 6.
Technical Evaluations
During the financial year, Eagle Mountain Mining commenced various technical evaluations to assess
options for future mining and processing operations at Oracle Ridge Copper Project. These evaluations
were based on an underground mining operation and will consider various potential processing options.
A key part of the Company’s strategy is to develop an environmentally friendly and low emissions copper
mine to benefit all stakeholders. The Oracle Ridge Copper Mine is uniquely placed to deliver on this with
its topography, minimal existing surface footprint and extensive existing underground mine
infrastructure. The evaluations will leverage these unique characteristics of the Project and will aim to
achieve high levels of energy self-sufficiency while minimising surface impacts. The potential to produce
copper metal on site for domestic US consumption will also be considered together with the potential
to grow existing resources for long term project sustainability.
The recent underground drilling, sampling and mapping activities together with the results of drilling
conducted by Eagle Mountain Mining over the past two and a half years and by previous owners have
provided the confidence to move to technical evaluations, including processing, mining, infrastructure,
environmental and permitting.
The evaluations are focused on production primarily from the existing Measured and Indicated
resources and will evaluate alternate mining scenarios to optimise returns, including larger scale
operations using the materially larger resource base at lower cut-off grades, or a smaller higher-grade
operation with selective mining. Recent advancements in equipment and process technologies will also
be considered with a view to lowering operating costs and increasing efficiencies for the Project.
A key project benefit is the previous production history and permitting. The current project permitting
status is outlined below (Table 3).

1 Air Quality Permit is for a 2000 tons per day operation from the mine / 3000 tons per day through a concentrator. Increases
from these rates require an update to the permit.

EAGLE MOUNTAIN MINING | 2023 Annual Report
Silver Mountain Copper Project (100%)
The Silver Mountain copper/gold project (“Silver Mountain”) is located in Arizona to the northwest of
Phoenix. The project area sits on the Laramide Arc, a northwest-southeast trending geological feature
containing world-class porphyry copper mines such as Bagdad, Miami and Resolution. It also lies on the
southern extension of a northeast-southwest prospective metallogenic belt that hosts United Verde and
Iron King, two historical mines of volcanogenic massive sulphide affinity. The intersection of these two
trends results in a favourable geologic setting with high complexity and potential for multiple
mineralisation styles.
The northern portion of the project area has a history of prospecting and mining of high-grade copper
from the 1890s into the 1920s. Except for limited campaigns in the 1960s, 1970s and early 1990s, there
had been no modern exploration at Silver Mountain. Commencing in 2013, Eagle Mountain Mining and
its subsidiaries have been the first companies to complete modern exploration over the Silver Mountain
project area.
Eagle Mountain Mining combined the fragmented land ownership along the main copper trend. A
portion of the tenements are held in patented claims, which grant royalty-free surface and mineral rights
with very low carrying costs. Silver Mountain encompasses three main prospects known as “Pacific
Horizon”, “Scarlett” and “Red Mule”, each having a unique mineralisation style.
Figure 7 - Map showing the land tenure and local geology of the Pacific Horizon, Scarlett and Red Mule prospects.
The Company views Silver Mountain as a very prospective project supported by multiple favourable
geological signatures. Further field mapping and geophysical surveys are planned with the aim of
defining the potential source of mineralisation outcropping at the surface.
Figure 8 below shows a hypothetical cross section across the Silver Mountain project illustrating the
different types of mineralisation targets and a postulated porphyry source at depth which could explain
the different mineralisation styles observed on the property.

The Company ensures good governance in relation to resource estimation. The geological model used
for the Mineral Resource was prepared by the Company in Leapfrog Geo using implicit modelling
techniques and included all available drill hole data as well as surface and underground mapping. The
geological model and MRE were independently reviewed by SRK.
All drill hole data is stored in-house within a commercially available purpose designed database
management system and subjected to industry standard validation procedures. Quality control on
resource drill programs have been undertaken to industry standards with implementation of
appropriate drilling type, survey data collection, assay standards, sample duplicates and repeat
analyses.
The resource reports and supporting data were subjected to internal analysis and peer review before
release. The Company is not aware of any additional information, other than that reported, which would
have a material effect on the estimates as reported.
Due to the nature, stage and size of the Company’s existing operations, the Board believes there would
be no efficiencies gained by establishing a separate mineral reserves and resources committee
responsible for reviewing and monitoring the Company’s processes for calculating mineral reserves and
resources estimates and for ensuring that the appropriate controls are applied to such calculations.
The Company confirms it is not aware of any new information or data since the updated Mineral
Resource was declared that materially affects the information included in this Mineral Resource
Statement.
COMPETENT PERSONS STATEMENT

information and supporting documentation reviewed by Mr Alex Lukomskyj, who is a member of The

Charles worked as a geologist and then plant metallurgist at Patino Mines’
copper-gold mine in northern Quebec. While there, he won the Canadian
Mineral Industry Scholarship to study mineral processing at Queen’s
University.
After Queens, in 1976, Charles joined AMAX Inc, an American mining
company in their Head Office and came to Perth in 1978 for a two-year
secondment to Mt Newman Mining. He then spent almost two years at
the Twin Buttes copper mine near Tucson, Arizona.
Charles returned to Australia and established a consulting and mining
software company, Metech Pty Ltd in early 1982. He formed Eagle Mining Corporation in 1992 with
Tony Poli and was responsible for the deal that led to the discovery of the very successful Nimary Gold
Mine, now part of Northern Star’s Jundee operation. Following an uninvited takeover Charles co-
founded Aquila Resources Ltd with Tony Poli in 2000 and helped transition it from a gold explorer to
iron ore and coal before it too was subject to a $1.4 billion takeover in 2014 at the hands of a joint bid
between Baosteel and ASX-listed Aurizon.
Eagle Mountain Mining listed on the ASX in 2018 and shortly thereafter Charlie negotiated the deal to
bring the Oracle Ridge copper project near Tucson out of receivership.
In addition to his role as Managing Director of EM2, Charles is involved in his various family businesses
and is very active in philanthropy. He is the founder and Chairman of the Centre of Entrepreneurial
Research and Innovation (“CERI”), a charitable organisation working with post-graduate researchers in
fostering a start-up culture for high knowledge and high value industry in WA.

The Company’s principal activities for the year ended 30 June 2023 focussed on exploration activities
and technical evaluations at the Oracle Ridge Copper Mine. Field work, mapping, geophysical
interpretation, targeted diamond drilling programs for both resource expansion, infill and metallurgical
drilling were conducted during the year. The Company also engaged in capital raising activities to fund
ongoing exploration at its projects.

EAGLE MOUNTAIN MINING | 2023 Annual Report
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
RREEVVIIEEWW OOFF OOPPEERRAATTIIOONNSS
Exploration activities
Exploration activities for the financial year have been primarily focussed at the Group’s Oracle Ridge
Copper Mine project in Arizona, United States of America. Drilling during the year was focussed on
expanding and upgrading the existing JORC mineral resource estimate (MRE) and in October 2022 an
updated MRE was completed.
The initial refurbishment of the underground mine was completed. The refurbishment brought the
underground infrastructure up to the required standards necessary to undertake the planned drilling,
mapping and sampling programs. These programs aimed to improve the quality of the MRE and
provide samples for metallurgical test work. During the latter half of the financial year, underground
drilling commenced and the first batch of underground channel sampling assays were received.
Technical evaluations focussing on assessing different mining scenarios, identifying cost and
production efficiencies and metallurgical test work for plant design were progressed during the year.
Corporate activities
The Company completed a share placement to sophisticated and institutional investors during the
financial year, raising a total of $5 million (before costs) through the issue of 30,303,031 shares. In
conjunction with the placement, the Company also completed a Share Purchase Plan, raising a further
$742,300 (before costs) from existing shareholders through the issue of 4,498,769 shares.
During the year, the Company entered into an unsecured convertible loan agreement with a director
related entity, Metech Super Pty Ltd as trustee for the Metech No2 Super Fund to borrow up to $3
million. At 30 June 2023, the Company had drawn down $2 million of the facility.
Risk Management
The Company takes a proactive approach to risk management. The Board is responsible for ensuring
that risks, including emerging risks, and also opportunities, are identified on a timely basis and the
Company’s objectives and activities are aligned with the risks and opportunities identified by the Board.
Given the size of the Company and its stage of development all Board members are involved and have
responsibility for management of risk.
Material business risks
There are inherent risks associated with the exploration for minerals. The Group faces the usual risks
encountered by companies engaged in the exploration, evaluation and development of minerals. The
material business risks for the Group include:
External Risks
Exposure to
fluctuations in the
US Dollar
The financial results and position of the Group are reported in Australian
dollars. The Group’s exploration projects are located in Arizona, United
States of America. Accordingly, the Group’s exploration costs are linked to
US dollars (US$) and the A$/ US$ exchange rate.

RREEVVIIEEWW OOFF OOPPEERRAATTIIOONNSS ((ccoonnttiinnuueedd))
External Risks
Environmental risks
Government
regulations and
claims risks
Operating Risks
Exploration and
development risk
Mineral Resources
The Company’s operations and projects are subject to the laws and
regulations of the jurisdictions in which it has interests and carries on
business (currently Arizona, USA) regarding environmental compliance and
relevant hazards. There is also a risk that the environmental laws and
regulations may become more onerous, making the Group’s operations
more expensive which may adversely affect the financial position and /or
performance of the Group. The Directors are not aware of any
environmental law that is not being complied with.
Changes in law and regulations or government policy may adversely affect
the Group’s operations. There is no guarantee that current or future
exploration claim applications or existing claim renewals will be granted,
that they will be granted without undue delay, or that the Company can
economically comply with any conditions imposed on any granted
exploration claims. Loss of claims may adversely affect the financial
position and /or performance of the Group
The exploration for and development of mineral deposits involves
significant risks that even a combination of careful evaluation, experience
and knowledge may not eliminate. While the discovery of an ore body may
result in substantial rewards, not all exploration activity will lead to the
discovery of economic deposits. Major expenditure may be required to
locate and establish Ore Reserves, to establish rights to mine the ground,
to receive all necessary operating permits, to develop metallurgical
processes and to construct mining and processing facilities at a particular
site.
The Group’s estimates of Mineral Resources are based on different levels
of geological confidence and different degrees of technical and economic
evaluation, and no assurance can be given that anticipated tonnages and
grades will be achieved or could be mined or processed profitably.
In addition to the risks described above, the Group’s ability to successfully develop projects is
contingent on the Group’s ability to fund those projects through debt or equity raisings.
Results of operations and financial position
The operating loss after income tax of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2023 was $13,661,302
(2022 restated: $30,748,045). Included in the loss for the year are uncapitalised exploration costs of
$10,341,361 (2022: $26,984,843) and non-cash items (in respect of depreciation, share based
payments expenses and fair value gains/losses) amounting to $811,849 (2022 restated: $1,980,505).
At 30 June 2023, cash assets amounted to $2,236,536 (2022: $11,073,913).

If KPIs are set, performance objectives, which may be financial or non-financial, or a combination of
both, are weighted when calculating the maximum Short Term Incentives payable to Executives. At the
end of the year, the Non-Executive Directors will assess the actual performance of the Executives
against the set performance objectives. The maximum amount of the Short Term Incentive, or a lesser

EAGLE MOUNTAIN MINING | 2023 Annual Report
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Year Ended 30 June 2023
These consolidated financial statements and notes represent those of Eagle Mountain Mining Limited and its
controlled entities (the “Group”). Eagle Mountain Mining Limited is a public limited liability company, incorporated
and domiciled in Australia.
The Group is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards. The
financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2023 were approved and authorised for issue by the Board of
Directors on 15 September 2023.
11..
SSTTAATTEEMMEENNTT OOFF SSIIGGNNIIFFIICCAANNTT AACCCCOOUUNNTTIINNGG PPOOLLIICCIIEESS
The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the Group in the preparation of the
financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.
((aa)) BBaassiiss ooff PPrreeppaarraattiioonn
These general purpose financial statements for the reporting year ended 30 June 2023 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. The financial
statements and notes comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.
The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical cost and does not
take into account changing money values or, except where stated, current valuations of non-current assets.
Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
((ii)) GGooiinngg CCoonncceerrnn
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which contemplates the
continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal
course of business.
The Group has incurred a loss of $13,661,302 and a net operating cash outflow of $13,075,232 during the
year ended 30 June 2023. Cash assets at 30 June 2023 were $2,236,536 and current liabilities at that date
were $880,952. These factors indicate that there is a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt
on whether the Company will be able to continue as a going concern and therefore whether it will be able
to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated
in the financial report.
The Directors will continue to manage the Group’s activities with due regard to current and future funding
requirements. During the financial year, the Group successfully raised $5.7 million (before costs) pursuant
to a share placement to institutional and sophisticated investors and pursuant to a Share Purchase Plan.
In addition, the Company entered into an unsecured convertible loan agreement with a director related
entity, Metech Super Pty Ltd as trustee for the Metech No2 Super Fund to borrow up to $3 million. At 30
June 2023, the Company had drawn down $2 million of the facility.
The Directors reasonably expect that the Company will be able to raise sufficient capital to fund the Group’s
exploration and working capital requirements, and that the Group will be able to settle debts as and when
they become due and payable. On this basis, the Directors are of the opinion that the use of the going
concern basis is appropriate in the circumstances.
((iiii)) BBaassiiss ooff CCoonnssoolliiddaattiioonn
The financial information comprises the financial information of Eagle Mountain and entities (including
special purpose entities) controlled by Eagle Mountain (its “subsidiaries”).

((iiii)) BBaassiiss ooff CCoonnssoolliiddaattiioonn ((ccoonnttiinnuueedd))
Control is achieved when Eagle Mountain:
•
•
•
has power over the investee;
is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.
Eagle Mountain reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that
there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.
The financial information of subsidiaries is prepared for the same reporting period as Eagle Mountain, using
consistent accounting policies. Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies
that may exist. All inter-company balances and transactions, including unrealised profits arising from intra-
group transactions, have been eliminated in full. Unrealised losses are eliminated unless costs cannot be
recovered.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be
consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group. Total comprehensive income
of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of Eagle Mountain and to the non-controlling interests even if
this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in
the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date Eagle
Mountain gains control until the date when Eagle Mountain ceases to control the subsidiary.
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 Eagle Mountain.
When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss and is calculated
as the difference between:
•
•
the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained
interest; and
the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and
any non-controlling interests.
All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary are
accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities of the subsidiary (i.e.
reclassified to profit and loss or transferred to another category of equity as specified/permitted by the
applicable Accounting Standards). The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the
date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting
under AASB 9, or when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or a joint
venture.

The Group has adopted all of the new, revised or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations
issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (“AASB”) that are mandatory for the current reporting
period.
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are
not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ended 30
June 2023. The Group has not yet assessed the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards
and Interpretations.
((bb)) EExxpplloorraattiioonn,, EEvvaalluuaattiioonn aanndd DDeevveellooppmmeenntt EExxppeennddiittuurree
Exploration and evaluation expenditure is generally written off in the year incurred, except for acquisition
of exploration properties which is capitalised and carried forward.
When production commences, any accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest which have been
capitalised and carried forward will be amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion
of the economically recoverable resources. A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to
determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to the area of interest. The
carrying value of any capitalised expenditure is assessed by the Directors each reporting period to
determine if any provision should be made for the impairment of the carrying value. The appropriateness
of the Group’s ability to recover these capitalised costs has been assessed at the end of each reporting
period and the Directors are satisfied that the value is recoverable.
The carrying value of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is assessed for impairment at an
overall level whenever facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of the assets may exceed
recoverable amount. An impairment exists when the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated
recoverable amount. The assets are then written down to their recoverable amount. Any impairment losses
are recognised in the income statement.
((cc)) TTrraaddee aanndd OOtthheerr RReecceeiivvaabblleess
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using
the effective interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally
due for settlement within 30 days.
The Group has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime
expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped
based on days overdue.
Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses.
((dd)) IInntteerreesstt IInnccoommee
Interest income is recognised as it accrues.

The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Group.
Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency at the rates of exchange prevailing
at the dates of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at
the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported
at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the consolidated
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Exchange differences arising on the
translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the gain or loss is
directly recognised in equity, otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the consolidated
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange
rate at the reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian
dollars using the average exchange rates for the period, which approximate the rates at the dates of the
transactions. All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income
through the foreign currency reserve in equity.
The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment
is disposed of.
((ff)) OOppeerraattiinngg SSeeggmmeennttss
An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may
earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other
components of the same entity), whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity's chief
operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess
its performance and for which discrete financial information is available. This includes start-up operations
which are yet to earn revenues. The chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Board of
Directors taken as a whole. Management will also consider other factors in determining operating
segments such as the existence of a line manager and the level of segment information presented to the
Board of Directors.
Operating segments have been identified based on the information provided to the Board of Directors.
((gg)) BBoorrrroowwiinnggss
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of
transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
((hh)) CCoonnvveerrttiibbllee NNoottee –– DDeerriivvaattiivvee LLiiaabbiilliittyy
Derivative financial instruments are stated at fair value. The fair value of the derivative has been valued
using a valuation technique, including inputs that include reference to similar instruments and option
pricing models, which is updated each period. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value of these

The embedded derivative component of a convertible note is recognised initially at fair value and the debt
liability component is calculated as the difference between the financial instrument as a whole and the
value of the derivative liability at inception. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the
convertible note debt liability and convertible note derivative liability in proportion to their initial carrying
amounts. Subsequent to initial recognition, the debt liability component of the convertible note is
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
((jj)) LLeeaassee LLiiaabbiilliittiieess
A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised
at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the
interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group's incremental
borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable
lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value
guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to
occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an
index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts
are remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an
index or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination
penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of-use
asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down.

((ll)) IImmppaaiirrmmeenntt ooff NNoonn--ffiinnaanncciiaall AAsssseettss
At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets to determine
whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication
exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment
loss (if any). Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from the other assets, the
Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use,
the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that
reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which
the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generated unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying
amount, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An
impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at fair value,
in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease. Where an impairment loss
subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised
estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not
exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised
for the asset (cash-generating unit) in prior years.
A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately, unless the relevant asset is
carried at fair value, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

Property, plant and equipment assets are initially recognised at acquisition cost or manufacturing cost,
including any costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to the location and condition necessary for
the assets to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the Group’s management.
Property, plant and equipment assets are subsequently measured using the cost model which reflects cost
less subsequent depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is recognised on a diminishing value
basis to write down the cost less estimated residual value of the assets.
Leasehold improvements are capitalised and subsequently amortised over the term of the respective lease.
The following depreciation rates are applied to property, plant and equipment assets on the diminishing
value basis:
• Motor vehicles: 25%
• Other property, plant and equipment: 20-50%
Material residual value estimates and estimates of useful life are updated as required, but at least annually.
Gains or losses arising on the disposal of property, plant and equipment assets are determined as the
difference between the disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets and are recognised in
profit or loss within other income or other expenses.
((nn)) RRiigghhtt--ooff--UUssee AAsssseettss
A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured
at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at
or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred,
and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for
dismantling and removing the underlying asset and restoring the site or asset.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the
estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the Group expects to obtain ownership
of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of-
use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.
The Group has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short term
leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are
expensed to profit or loss as incurred.
((oo)) GGooooddss aanndd SSeerrvviicceess TTaaxx ((GGSSTT))
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST
incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (“ATO”). In these circumstances, the GST is
recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables
and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as a current asset or liability
in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows
arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are
classified as operating cash flows.

The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and
deferred tax expense (income).
Current income tax expense charged to the profit and loss is the tax payable on the taxable income using
applicable income tax rates enacted or substantially enacted as at the end of the reporting period. Current
tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the
relevant taxation authority.
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.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax
bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial information. Deferred tax assets
also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred
income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business
combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries and associates, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can
be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.
((qq)) TTrraaddee aanndd OOtthheerr PPaayyaabblleess
Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and

Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.
((rr)) PPrroovviissiioonnss aanndd CCoonnttiinnggeenncciieess
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of a past event,
for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably
measured. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to
settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties
surrounding the obligation.
The Group’s exploration activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of
the environment. A rehabilitation provision is made for the present value of anticipated costs for future
rehabilitation of land explored or mined, based on management’s best estimate for assets retirement
obligations and site rehabilitations, in the period in which the costs are incurred. Actual costs incurred in
the future periods could differ materially from the estimates. Additionally, future changes to environmental
laws and regulations and discount rates could affect the carrying amount of this provision.

services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method.
Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and
periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on
corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated
future cash outflows.

Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are

The Group recognises the fair value of options and performance rights granted to Directors, employees
and consultants as remuneration as an expense on a pro-rata basis over the vesting period in the
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income with a corresponding
adjustment to equity.
The Group provides benefits to employees (including Directors) of the Group in the form of share based
payment transactions, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares
(“equity-settled transactions”). The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees (including
Directors) is measured by reference to fair value at the date they are granted. The fair value is determined
using the Black Scholes option pricing model.

Determination of lease term
In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic
incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or
periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to
be extended (or not terminated).

Determination of lease term (continued)
The lease term is reassessed if an option is actually exercised (or not exercised) or the Group becomes
obliged to exercise (or not exercise) it. The assessment of reasonable certainty is only revised if a significant
event or a significant change in circumstances occurs, which affects this assessment, and that is within the
control of the lessee.
Determination of incremental borrowing rate
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily
determined, which is generally the case for leases in the Group, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is
used.
To determine the incremental borrowing rate, where possible recent third party financing received by the
individual lessee is used as a starting point and adjusted to reflect changes in financing conditions since
third party financing was received. If there was no recent third party financing agreement, a build-up
approach is used that starts with a risk-free interest rate adjusted for credit risk for the lessee and any
further relevant adjustments specific to the lease (such as term, country, currency and security).

The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and
assumptions of future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a
material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual
reporting period are:
Key Estimates – Impairment of Capitalised Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent on a number
of factors, including whether the Group decides to exploit the related lease itself or, if not, whether it
successfully recovers the related exploration and evaluation asset through sale.
Factors that could impact the future recoverability include the level of reserves and resources, future
technological changes, costs of drilling and production, production rates, future legal changes (including
changes to environmental restoration obligations) and changes to commodity prices.
Key Estimates – Share Based Payment Transactions
The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value
of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. Fair values of share options are determined
using the Black Scholes option pricing model. Should the assumptions used in these calculations differ, the
amounts recognised could significantly change.
Key Assumptions –Valuation of derivative liability
The Group has entered into loan agreements which contain a conversion feature whereby the value of the
loan, or a portion thereof, can be converted into shares in the Company upon the occurrence of various
conversion trigger events or upon the election of the lender (or borrower). To derive the fair value of the
embedded derivative liability component of the loans, a number of assumptions have been made. These
assumptions, as well as key terms of the loan agreements, are outlined in note 13.
Key Judgement – Environmental Issues
Balances disclosed in the financial statements and notes thereto are not adjusted for any pending or
enacted environmental legislation. At the current stage of the Group’s development and its current
environmental impact, the Directors believe such treatment is reasonable and appropriate.

The Group is required to classify all assets and liabilities, measured at fair value, using a three level hierarchy
based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being Level 1:
Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at
the measurement date; Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable
for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
Considerable judgement is required to determine what is significant to fair value and therefore which
category the asset or liability is placed in can be subjective.
The Group measures some of its assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring
basis, depending on the requirements of the applicable Accounting Standard.
Fair value is the price the Group would receive to sell an asset or would have to pay to transfer a liability in
an orderly unforced transaction between independent, knowledgeable and willing market participants at
the measurement date and is based on the fair value hierarchy.

Assistance received from the government by way of grant or other forms of assistance designed to provide
an economic benefit to the Group, is presented in the statement of financial position as deferred income,

Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of the parent entity,
excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of
ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares
issued during the financial year.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to
take into account the after income 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.

Mountain Mining Operations Inc. (refer note 9).
2 VViinncceerree LLooaann
Under the terms of the purchase agreement of the Oracle Ridge Copper Mine in Arizona in the United States of
America, Wedgetail Operations LLC, a subsidiary in which the Company now holds a 100% interest, entered into a
US$6,423,000 secured loan with Vincere Resource Holdings LLC. The loan is secured over all of the assets of
Wedgetail Operations LLC, has a ten-year term and accrues interest at 3.15% per annum for the first five years with
no interest accruing thereafter.
Under the terms of the agreement, the lender has the right to convert up to US$1,000,000 of the secured loan into
ordinary shares of the Company upon each of the following three conversion trigger events:
i.
ii.
iii.
The completion of a preliminary feasibility study;
A commitment is made to proceed with a bankable feasibility study; and
A commitment is made to commission the financing of the project as evidenced by a feasibility study
sufficient to obtain third party financing.
The terms of the agreement prevent the issue of ordinary shares to the lender where the cumulative amount of
shares held as a result of exercising the conversion rights would exceed 10% of the Company’s ordinary shares on
issue.
The conversion price of each conversion right held by the lender is an amount equal to a 20% discount to the 30
day volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares for the 30 days immediately after the date of public
announcement of the applicable conversion trigger event.
The face value of US$6,423,000 comprises the sum of the value of the derivative liability (or conversion right), and
the debt liability component at inception. The debt liability component of the secured loan is amortised at each
reporting period using the effective interest method. The derivative liability component is revalued at each reporting
date over the life of the secured loan.

Fair Value Measurement
The derivative liability component of the US$6,423,000 loan is measured or disclosed at fair value, using a three
level hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement. Refer to
accounting policy note 1(w) for a description of the three levels. The derivative liability has been categorised as Level
3 in the fair value hierarchy and the fair value at the end of the reporting period was A$348,606.
There were no transfers between levels during the financial year.
Correction of significant misstatement of fair value of the conversion right
An independent valuation was undertaken on initial recognition of the conversion right. At each reporting date since
initial recognition, the conversion right has been independently revalued. During the 31 December 2022 reporting
period, it was discovered that the fair value of the conversion right had been miscalculated at the preceding
reporting dates. As a consequence, an updated independent valuation of the fair value of the conversion right was
undertaken to establish the fair value of the conversion rights that should have been reported. As a result, the total
value of the loan was found to have been overstated in prior periods. The reported value of the liability has been
corrected by restating each of the affected financial statement line items for prior periods. The following tables
summarise the impacts on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

1 The share price of an EM2 share traded on the ASX to market close on 30 June 2023.
2 Exercise price is equal to a 20% discount to the estimated volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares
for the 30 days immediately after the public announcement of the applicable conversion trigger event.
3 The expiry date is the estimated date on which the conversion right will be exercised for each tranche of conversion
rights and is estimated from the date of the agreement.
4 Management’s estimate as at balance date of the probability of the conversion trigger events being achieved on
the expiry dates for each tranche of conversion rights.
Based on the above assumptions, the revaluation of the derivative liability resulted in a fair value gain of US$78,214
(A$116,145) which has been recognised through the profit and loss.
In relation to the restriction of conversion rights up to 10% of the ordinary shares on issue, the valuation is based
on the number of shares on issue at valuation date.

Unobservable inputs for fair value measurement
In determining the fair value measurement of the derivative liability, certain observable inputs such as the share
price and exercise price of the conversion rights are used, together with unobservable inputs.
The unobservable inputs used in the valuation of the derivative liability are deemed to be:
1.
Issued capital – as the conversion rights are restricted to not more than 10% of the ordinary shares on issue,
any increase in issued shares may impact the number of conversion rights that can be exercised; and
2. Timing of the three milestones to be achieved (conversion trigger events).
The Level 3 unobservable inputs and sensitivity are as follows:
Unobservable Input
Change in input
Shares on Issue
+25%
Date of conversion trigger
event
-6 months
Date of conversion trigger
event
+6 months
Sensitivity
A 25% increase in share capital will result in
an increase in fair value of approximately
$42,100
A decrease of 6 months in achieving the first
and subsequent milestones will result in an
increase in fair value of approximately
$7,100
An increase of 6 months in achieving the
first and subsequent milestones will result in
a decrease in fair value of approximately
$6,900

During the financial year, Metech Super Pty Ltd as trustee for the Metech No2 Super Fund (Lender), an entity
associated with Director, Mr Charles Bass, provided an unsecured loan facility of up to $3,000,000 to the Company.
At 30 June 2023, the Company had drawn down $2,000,000 of the facility. The loan attracts interest at 10% per
annum and matures on 31 December 2024. The Company may repay all or part of the outstanding loan balance at
any time prior to the maturity date without penalty. The Lender may elect to convert all or part of the outstanding
balance into ordinary shares in the Company at any time up until the date which is 90 days prior to maturity, subject
to shareholder approval, at a conversion price being the greater of:
i.
ii.
a 15% discount to the 15 day VWAP for the Company’s shares immediately prior to the election to convert;
and
a floor price of $0.14 per share.
If any portion of the loan is not repaid or converted prior to the day which is 90 days prior to maturity, the Company
may at its sole discretion either repay the balance of the loan and interest in cash or require conversion at a 12%
discount to the 15 day VWAP for the Company’s shares immediately prior to the election to convert, subject to
shareholder approval.
The face value of $2,000,000 comprises the sum of the value of the derivative liability (or conversion right), and the
debt liability component at inception. The debt liability component of the loan is amortised at each reporting period
using the effective interest method. The fair value of the derivative liability component is revalued at each reporting
date over the life of the loan.

Fair Value Measurement
The derivative liability component of the $2,000,000 loan drawn down at 30 June 2023 is measured or disclosed at
fair value, using a three level hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value
measurement. Refer to accounting policy note 1(w) for a description of the three levels. The derivative liability has
been categorised as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy and the fair value at the end of the reporting period was
$48,702.
There were no transfers between levels during the financial year.
Valuation Model Assumptions
An independent valuation of the derivative liability has been undertaken at the loan drawdown date, and
subsequently revalued at 30 June 2023, using a Monte Carlo simulation model with the following assumptions:

2 The expiry date is the maturity date of the loan and it is assumed that conversion would occur on this date.
Exercise price – It was identified that three possible conversion scenarios could occur depending on the value of
the share price. A Monte Carlo simulation model was used to assess the probability of the share price hitting each
of the thresholds with results as follows:
Probability of spot price < $0.140
Probability of spot price $0.140 to $0.165
Probability of spot price > $0.165
Probability

A Reversionary Interest in the Mineral Rights is held by Marble Mountain Ventures LLC (“MMV”) over certain of the
Patented Claims covering the mine. The Reversionary Interest is provided for in a deed dated 18 February 2010,
with reversion set to occur on 18 February 2025, unless an Extension Option is exercised by Wedgetail Operations
LLC (“WTO”). In order to exercise the Extension Option, WTO needs to provide 30 days written notice, make an
Extension Payment in the order of US$3 million adjusted for CPI and remain in compliance with various related
agreements. Should WTO agree to exercise the Extension Option, WTO’s interest in the mineral rights related to
certain of the Patented Claims will be extended to 18 February 2040.
The Company also has an Industrial Property Lease agreement (“Lease Agreement”) with MMV which provides
surface access rights over patented claims which covers areas including the existing 5900 and 6400 mine portals,
and the historic mill site. The Company made lease payments of approximately US$194,000 this financial year to
MMV pursuant to the Lease Agreement (refer note 23(a)). The lease payments are subject to annual escalation for
inflation. The term of the lease automatically renews every three years until expiration of the term on 31 January
2040.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Year Ended 30 June 2023
2244.. FFIINNAANNCCIIAALL RRIISSKK MMAANNAAGGEEMMEENNTT
The Group has exposure to a variety of risks arising from its use of financial instruments. This note presents
information about the Company’s exposure to the specific risks, and the policies and processes for measuring and
managing those risks. The Board of Directors has the overall responsibility for the risk management framework
and has adopted a Risk Management Policy.
((aa)) CCrreeddiitt RRiisskk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument
fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from transactions with customers and
investments.
Trade and Other Receivables
The nature of the business activity of the Group does not result in trading receivables. The receivables that
the Group does experience through its normal course of business are short term and the most significant
recurring by quantity is receivable from the ATO. The risk of non-recovery of receivables from this source
is considered to be negligible.
Cash Deposits
The Directors believe any risk associated with the use of predominantly one bank is addressed through the
use of at least an A-rated bank as a primary banker. Except for this matter the Group currently has no
significant concentrations of credit risk.
((bb))
LLiiqquuiiddiittyy RRiisskk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The
Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient
liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring
unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.
The Group manages its liquidity risk by monitoring its cash reserves and forecast spending. Management
is cognisant of the future demands for liquid finance resources to finance the Company’s current and future
operations, and consideration is given to the liquid assets available to the Company before commitment is
made to future expenditure or investment.
((cc)) MMaarrkkeett RRiisskk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and
equity prices will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The
objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable
parameters, while optimising any return.
Interest Rate Risk
The Group has cash assets which may be susceptible to fluctuations in changes in interest rates. Whilst the
Group requires the cash assets to be sufficiently liquid to cover any planned or unforeseen future
expenditure, which prevents the cash assets being committed to long term fixed interest arrangements,
the Group does mitigate potential interest rate risk by entering into short to medium term fixed interest
investments.

2244.. FFIINNAANNCCIIAALL RRIISSKK MMAANNAAGGEEMMEENNTT ((ccoonnttiinnuueedd))
Equity Risk
The Group has no direct exposure to equity risk.
Foreign Exchange Risk
The Group holds a portion of its cash assets in US dollar denominated bank accounts and bank deposits.
The Group is also significantly exposed to foreign exchange risk through transactions and arrangements in
respect of its US based operations.
Other than the above, the Group does not have any direct contact with foreign exchange fluctuations other
than their effect on the general economy.
The Group seeks to mitigate foreign exchange risk by considering capital requirements and foreign
exchange rates when undertaking treasury transactions, such as utilising US dollar denominated term
deposits.
2255.. FFIINNAANNCCIIAALL IINNSSTTRRUUMMEENNTTSS
CCrreeddiitt RRiisskk
The Directors do not consider that the Group’s financial assets are subject to anything more than a negligible level
of credit risk, and as such no disclosures are made (refer note 24(a)).
IImmppaaiirrmmeenntt LLoosssseess
The Directors do not consider that any of the Group’s financial assets are subject to impairment at the reporting
date. No impairment expense or reversal of impairment charge has occurred during the financial year.

Eagle Mountain Mining Limited
Independent auditor’s report to members
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Eagle Mountain Mining Limited (the Company and its subsidiaries
(the Group)), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2023, the
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of
changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the
financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory
information, and the directors’ declaration.
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 2023 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 auditor independence requirements
of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical
Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence
Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled
our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
opinion.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 1 (a)(i) in the financial report, which indicates that the Group has incurred a net
loss of $13,661,302 and a net operating cash outflow of $13,075,232 during the year ended 30 June 2023.
As stated in Note 1 (a)(i), these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1 (a)(i),
indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue
as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
92
EAGLE MOUNTAIN MINING | 2023 Annual Report
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 as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a
separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to
Going Concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be
communicated in our report.
EXPLORATION COSTS CAPITALISED
Area of focus
Refer also to notes 1(b), 1v(ii) and 8
How our audit addressed it
As at 30 June 2023, the carrying value of the
Group’s exploration and evaluation assets
amounted to $11,281,486. The carrying value of
these costs represents a significant asset of Eagle
Mountain Mining Limited and its controlled entities.
Our audit procedures focussed on evaluating
management’s assessment of whether the
exploration and evaluation assets continue to meet
the recognition criteria of AASB 6 Exploration for
and Evaluation of Mineral Resources, including:
This is considered a key audit matter as significant
judgement is applied in determining whether the
asset continues to meet the recognition criteria in
AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral
Resources. As noted in Note 1v(ii) of the financial
report, significant judgement is required in
determining whether facts and circumstances
indicate that the exploration and evaluation assets
should be tested for impairment.
— Obtaining evidence that the Group has valid
rights to explore the areas for which the
exploration costs have been capitalised;
— Enquiring of management and reviewing the
cashflow forecast and ASX announcements to
verify that substantive expenditure on further
exploration for and evaluation of mineral
resources in the Group’s areas of interest is
planned and compared these to the minimum
expenditure requirements of the licence
expenditure requirements;
— Enquiring of management, reviewing
announcements made and reviewing minutes
of director meetings to verify that management
had not decided to discontinue activities in any
of the areas of interest that has capitalised
exploration costs;
— Assessing a sample of expenses capitalised in
the year to source documents and
— Assessing the adequacy of the related
disclosures in the financial report.
CONVERTIBLE LOANS
Area of focus
Refer also to notes 1(h), 1(i), 1(v)(ii) and 13
How our audit addressed it
At 30 June 2023, the reported value of the Group’s
convertible loans was $12,862,984. The loans
have conversion features which means that the
loans are hybrid financial instruments with
Our audit procedures included:
— Verifying the terms of the loans to the loan
agreements
2
93
EAGLE MOUNTAIN MINING | 2023 Annual Report
embedded derivatives which must be separated
from the underlying debt component and
accounted for on an individual basis.
A prior period error was identified during the year
in relation to the valuation of the embedded
derivatives. The Group has corrected this material
prior period error retrospectively by restating the
comparative amounts for the prior period and the
opening balances as at 1 July 2021.
Accounting for embedded derivatives is complex
and requires the use of valuation methodologies
that rely upon observable and unobservable inputs
and assumptions. This creates estimation
uncertainty for the amounts recognised in the
financial statements. For these reasons, we
consider the valuation of convertible notes to be a
key audit matter.
— Assessing the requirements of AASB 9
Financial Instruments and AASB 132 Financial
Instruments: Presentation to consider the
appropriateness of the initial and subsequent
accounting treatment of the convertible loans
— Critically assessing the appropriateness of the
pricing models used for the current and
previous reporting periods, the key inputs to
the models and the reasonableness of the
valuations of the embedded derivatives
— Considering the adequacy of the related
disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements, including the adequacy of the
restatement and disclosures in respect of the
prior period error.
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 2023 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
3
94
EAGLE MOUNTAIN MINING | 2023 Annual Report
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 these financial statements is located at the
Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at:

This description forms part of our independent auditor’s report.
Report on the Remuneration Report
Opinion on the Remuneration Report

2023, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
Responsibilities
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration
