ORDINARY SHARES Fully Paid Ordinary Shares OPTIONS 6 cents expiring on 30 June 2020 30 cents expiring 6 February 2021 8 cents expiring on 30 June 2021 Review of Operations No. 336,564,520 11,750,000 5,000,000 18,000,000 The Company lodged a prospectus with ASX to enable active exploration and advancement of Abra Base Metals Project (“Abra” or the “Project”), which the company acquired during the financial year. The Project is located 220km north of Meekatharra in Western Australia and the Galena is advancing it though continued exploration, various predevelopment works and detailed studies to establish economic viability of mining for base and precious metals. These metals, primarily including lead, silver, copper and gold are tradable on liquid international commodity exchanges. Abra Base Metals Project During September 2017, Galena commenced drilling on the Project which was completed in mid-December 2017. Twelve holes (AB70-72, 73A, 74-81) were completed for a total of 8,022m and approximately 4,000 core samples were taken and submitted to SGS Laboratories for assaying. All assays have been received with high-grade intersections in every hole. Galena has a geologically controlled, high-grade model for Abra which is supported by the results of wide-spread drilling. Drill results continue to define both large strata bound shallow dipping zones of high-grade mineralisation as well as sub vertical vein hosted high-grade mineralisation within the feeder zone/core. – 4 – Galena Mining Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 63 616 317 778 DIRECTORS’ REPORT Review of Operations (continued) Metallurgical Test-work During the financial year, Galena has completed the Pre-Feasibility Study (“PFS”) metallurgical test-work at Abra. Following on from the preliminary results, the completion of the final locked-cycle processing stages has delivered outstanding metallurgical results. The results have confirmed very high metal recoveries in an exceptionally high- grade and clean lead-silver concentrate. These results are from test work carried out by the internationally recognised global leader in this type of work, ALS Global (Burnie, Tasmania). Results exceeded expectations. Composite samples delivered concentrate lead grades ranging from 69% to 81% (averaging 74.5%) with recoveries between 94% and 96% (averaging 95%). The test-work indicated that overall lead recoveries could be increased in the event a lower final concentrate grade is considered. Metallurgical Program Details Samples used in this round of PFS-level test-work were obtained from representative samples of the upper “strata bound” zone of mineralisation known as the ‘Apron’ as well in the vein hosted feeder zones of the deposit known as the ‘Core’. In both cases samples were obtained using wider diameter NQ diamond core drilling that was conducted by Galena Mining in late 2017 (see Table 1). Five composite samples were prepared and are considered representative of the deposit. Flotation processing test-work was applied, resulting in exceptionally high-grade lead- silver concentrate samples that were also free of any material deleterious elements. Table 1: Abra test work sample assays 2018 Scoping Study The 2018 Scoping Study is primarily based on the new work undertaken by Galena and its study team, comprising of internal personnel and third-party independent industry expert consultants, in relation to underground mining, ore processing, mine-site infrastructure, environmental permitting, logistics and marketing. The Study is also underpinned by the extensive historical technical database that has been acquired by Galena. The 2018 Scoping Study confirms Abra as an economically and technically robust development opportunity, with potential to become a globally significant, long-life, high margin West Australian lead-silver mine. There also remains considerable exploration potential for additional lead-silver mineralisation over that already identified in the March 2018 JORC Mineral Resource estimate (“March 2018 Resource”). Beneath the existing Abra lead-silver deposit is an additional mineralised zone with significant copper-gold intercepts. – 5 – CompositePb%Ag (g/t)Zn%Cu%Fe%BaO%S%S110.913.60.050.0531.112.84.8S210.119.30.10.138.217.56.5S37.514.60.040.2947.98.84.8V17.515.10.010.419.81.62.9V212.912.33.70.123.622.99.5 Galena Mining Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 63 616 317 778 DIRECTORS’ REPORT Review of Operations (continued) The potential development of Abra Base Metals Project coincides with a favourable outlook for lead. Increasing demand and reducing supply has placed the lead market into supply deficit and the lead price has averaged US$0.97/lb over the last 10-years. Base case analysis in the Study assumes a US$0.95/lb lead price. The throughput rate assumed in the Study is 1 million tonnes per annum (“Mtpa”). The assumed mining and professing rate is based on mining studies performed on the March 2018 Resource. The high-grade model validated by recent Galena drilling supports a smaller, higher grade, higher margin mining and processing model compared with previous scenarios historically investigated for Abra. The production rate was selected after analysing different ore grades against practical underground mining rates and optimising the Project’s future infrastructure, which is based on different capital cost and grade optimisation scenarios. Mineral Resources and Mineable Material The March 2018 Resource was calculated based on 46,424m of diamond core drilling and 14,413 assayed samples. Galena completed 8,024m of diamond drilling between September and December 2017 to test a high-grade, stratiform and structural control model. Drilling conducted by previous owners, in addition to that completed by Galena, was included in the dataset. This March 2018 Resource forms the basis of mineable material estimated for the Study after the application of a range of modifying factors including minimum mining width, cut-off grades, mining dilution and mining recovery. The mineable material assumed for the Study compromises: 9.2Mt at grades of 9.7% lead and 15g/t silver containing 842,500t lead and 4.2Moz silver. Approximately 51% of the mineable material is in the Indicated category of the Mineral Resource estimate, which includes the entire first two years of production. This ensures 100% of the payback period (< 1.5 years of production) is produced solely from Indicated Resources. Material drawn from the Indicated Resource category also exceeds 75% of minable material up to year five of the mine plan. The March 2018 Resource using inverse distance squared interpolation is presented in Table 2 and for ordinary kriging is shown Table 3. – 6 – Galena Mining Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 63 616 317 778 DIRECTORS’ REPORT Review of Operations (continued) Table 2: Abra March 2018 Resource (Inverse Distance interpolation) Vol m3 INDICATED MINERAL RESOURCE (JORC) Lead cut- off % 5.0* 6.0 7.0 7.5* 8.0 9.0 10.0 Tonnes 3,800,000 13,200,000 9,300,000 2,700,000 6,300,000 1,800,000 5,300,000 1,500,000 4,500,000 1,300,000 3,200,000 900,000 2,300,000 700,000 Vol m3 INFERRED MINERAL RESOURCE (JORC) Lead cut- off % 5.0* 6.0 7.0 7.5* 8.0 9.0 10.0 Tonnes 6,900,000 23,500,000 4,000,000 13,400,000 7,800,000 2,300,000 5,900,000 1,700,000 4,600,000 1,300,000 3,000,000 900,000 2,000,000 600,000 Lead % 7.9 8.9 10.1 10.6 11.1 12.2 13.2 Silver g/t 19 22 26 28 30 35 42 Lead % 6.9 8.0 9.1 9.7 10.2 11.2 12.0 Silver g/t 17 21 26 29 32 39 46 Vol m3 TOTAL MINERAL RESOURCE (INFERRED AND INDICATED COMBINED) (JORC) Lead cut- off % 5.0* 6.0 7.0 7.5* 8.0 9.0 10.0 Tonnes 10,700,000 36,600,000 6,600,000 22,700,000 4,100,000 14,100,000 3,300,000 11,200,000 9,100,000 2,700,000 6,300,000 1,800,000 4,300,000 1,300,000 Lead % 7.3 8.4 9.5 10.1 10.7 11.7 12.7 Silver g/t 18 21 26 28 31 37 44 * denotes preferred cut-offs for Resource reporting Nb.

Initial mineralised material is expected to be mined early in 2021 calendar year. Underground extraction will be mostly by sublevel long hole open stoping and partly by room and pillar mining. These methods, together with paste filling high value stoping areas, will enable maximum extraction of the orebody. The underground material will be trucked to the surface via the access decline. Figure 1: Abra’s Conceptual Mine Design – Long Section View – 9 – Galena Mining Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 63 616 317 778 DIRECTORS’ REPORT Review of Operations (continued) Processing The 2018 Scoping Study proposes a 1Mtpa capacity processing plant. Processing will comprise crushing, grinding and two stages of conventional flotation and filtration to produce a high-grade lead-silver concentrate. Processing facility construction is estimated to cost A$66 million including A$6 million of contingency. The construction is scheduled to commence mid-2019 calendar year, with a 15-month time frame for construction and commissioning. It is anticipated that the plant will produce approximately 130,000t concentrate per annum, containing 91,100t of lead and 453,000oz of silver. Infrastructure, Transport and Logistics The 2018 Scoping Study includes planned a accommodation facility of 136 permanent rooms and accompanying infrastructure, which includes access to roads, an upgraded airstrip (designed for planes capable of carrying 50 passengers), offices, workshops, communications, fuel storage and distribution facilities. Power will be provided by on-site diesel generation and water will be provided from nearby bore fields. Total site infrastructure costs are calculated at A$35 million, including A$3.5 million of contingency. The primary outbound logistics plan is to transport lead concentrates in sealed half height sea containers by road to the port of Geraldton, which currently exports lead sulphide concentrate products from other mines. Capital Expenditure The capital expenditure required to production of first concentrate totals A$153 million as presented in Table 4.

Figure 2: Abra’s sensitivity analysis showing the project is very robust, as at lead prices of US$0.76/lb NPV (10%) = $174 million (versus June 2018 average spot price of US$1.14/lb) Timeline to Production The 2018 Scoping Study shows commencement of construction during the third quarter of 2019 calendar year with an access decline extending to 300m vertical below surface. Planned extraction of the first mineralisation from development is scheduled for the first quarter of 2021 calendar year (see Figure 3). – 12 – Galena Mining Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 63 616 317 778 DIRECTORS’ REPORT Review of Operations (continued) Figure 3: Abra’s Proposed Development Timetable (Grey blocks have been completed) 2018 Resource Development Drilling Program Galena is currently nearing completion of an 8,400m Resource development drilling program primarily aimed at converting the bulk of the high-grade Inferred portions of the March 2018 Resource into the Indicated category. This follows the drilling of 12 holes for 8,022m (AB70 – 81) drilled during 2017. The drilling program will also test for extensions to lead-silver mineralisation in several key areas where there is potential to add to the existing Resource. The program is expected to be complete in October 2018. Drill-hole AB83 intersected stratiform mineralisation within the targeted Apron zone with results returning the exceptional intersection of 15.4m at 25.9% lead and 74g/t silver including 7.7m at 41.7% lead and 116g/t silver (see Figure 4). This is the highest grade intersection from the Apron zone mineralisation encountered at the Project to date. Mineralisation is gently dipping so intersection widths are interpreted to be close to true widths (see Figure 5). Importantly this intersection is not only within Inferred rather than Indicated Resource material but is also outside of current proposed stoping area in the 2018 Scoping Study. – 13 – Galena Mining Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 63 616 317 778 DIRECTORS’ REPORT Review of Operations (continued) AB83 also intersected 5.76m at 9.6% lead and 29g/t silver from the hydrothermal vein zone within the underlying Core zone. The hole was extended to test the copper-gold potential lieing below the existing known Abra deposit. The hole intersected 13m at 6.3g/t gold, 0.7% copper, 1.1% lead and 54g/t silver, including 8m at 9.5g/t gold, 0.6% copper, 1.4% lead and 77g/t silver. This is the highest grade gold intersection drilled at the Project to date and highlights the exciting future potential of Abra beyon. This mineralisation is outside of the March 2018 Resource. Drill-hole AB82 also intersected mineralisation from the targeted Apron zone returning 4.2m at 8.1% lead and 14g/t silver. This intersection is within current Inferred Resource material.

The first of these was at the Leader 18 Prospect and the second at the 46-40 Prospect. GWD001 at the Leader 18 prospect intersected approximately 60m of 0.5 - 1% chalcopyrite from 260m downhole, as well as other lesser amounts of chalcopyrite and galena within chlorite altered, brecciated and veined sediments throughout the remainder of the hole. Hydrothermal magnetite and manganese were also widespread. Theses mineralised zones are interpreted as being part of the same mineralised system previously intersected in historic drilling however Galena’s drilling intercepts are several hundred metres from the historic intersections. The system has therefore been significantly extended with this drilling. All assays are pending. GWD002 at the 46-40 Prospect intersected more extensive and intense chalcopyrite and mineralisation along with manganese and magnetite throughout much of the hole. The most significant assays using a lead cut-off of 0.3% and copper cut-off of 0.2% for both holes were:  20.7m at 1.10% lead from 214.3m in GWD002, including 4.3m at 2.3% lead  16.8m at 1.46% lead from 259.2m in GWD002  22.5m at 0.52% copper from 523.5m in GWD002  12.4m at 0.84% copper and 0.34g/t Au from 529.0m in GWD002, including 7.4m at 1.16% copper  3.4m at 0.55% copper from 604.0m in GWD002  2.8m at 0.98% copper from 624.6m, including 1m at 2.0% copper and 2.7g/t gold  10.5m at 0.42% copper from 332.0m in GWD001 including 0.5m at 1.63% copper and 0.25g/t gold  11.0m at 0.46% copper from 349.0m in GWD001  3.6m at 0.86% copper from 374.0m in GWD001 – 15 – Galena Mining Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 63 616 317 778 DIRECTORS’ REPORT COMPETENT PERSONS’ STATEMENT The information in this report related to the Abra Mineral Resource estimate is based on work completed by Mr A Byass, B.Sc Hons (Geol), B.Econ, FSEG, MAIG a Director of Galena Mining Limited and Mr Don Maclean MSc (Geol), MAIG and RP Geo (Exploration and Mining), MSEG, a consultant to Galena Mining.

Galena Mining is a public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The Consolidated Entity or the Group refers to the Company and the entity controlled during the year and at the year end. The financial statements were authorised for issue on 20th September 2018 by the directors of the Company. The directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements. Basis of Preparation The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. The Company is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under the Australian Accounting Standards. Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in financial statements containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below. They have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated. The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs, modified where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities. Comparatives Galena Mining Limited was incorporated on 7 December 2016, therefore the comparative period for the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of cash flows and statement of changes in equity are for the period 7 December 2016 to 30 June 2017. Accounting Policies The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the Company in the preparation of the financial report. a) Going Concern The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Group incurred a loss for the period of $1,214,076 and net cash outflows from operating activities of $5,489,142. These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Company and Group to continue as a going concern. The directors believe the Group is a going concern as they have appropriate plans to raise additional capital to fund forecasted activities. Should the Company or the Group be unable to continue as a going concern it may be required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts different to those stated in the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or to the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company or Group be unable to continue as a going concern and meet its debts as and when they fall due. – 31 – Galena Mining Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 63 616 317 778 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES b) Operating Segments Operating segments are presented using the ‘management approach’ where the information presented is on the same basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers. The Chief Operating Decision Maker is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance. c) Foreign Currency Translation The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Galena Mining Limited’s functional and presentation currency. d) Income Tax The income tax expense (revenue) for the period comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income). Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority. Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the period as well unused tax losses. Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability. Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled. – 32 – Galena Mining Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 63 616 317 778 __________________________________________________________________________________ NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES e) Current and non-current classification Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification. An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current. A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current. f) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves. Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the period in which the decision to abandon the area is made. A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest. g) Financial Instruments Recognition and Initial Measurement Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the company commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset. Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs except where the instrument is classified ‘at fair value through profit or loss in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Classification and Subsequent Measurement Financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest method, or cost. Amortised cost is calculated as the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measure at initial recognition less principal repayments and any reduction for impairment, and adjusted for any cumulative amortization of the difference between that initial amount and the maturity amou nt calculated using the effective interest method. Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length tra nsactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models. – 33 – Galena Mining Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 63 616 317 778 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES g) Financial Instruments (continued) Classification and Subsequent Measurement The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) over the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instruments to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying amount with a consequential recognition of an income or expense item in profit or loss. The Company does not designate any interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint venture entities as being subject to the requirements of accounting standards specifically applicable to financial instruments. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (i) Financial assets are classified at “fair value through profit or loss” when they are held for trading for the purpose of short-term profit taking, derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or when they are designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in carrying amount being included in profit or loss. Loans and receivables (ii) Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Loans and receivables are included in current assets, where they are expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. Held-to-maturity investments (iii) Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments, and it is the Company’s intention to hold these investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Held-to-maturity investments are included in non-current assets, except for those which are expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. All other investments are classified as current assets. Available-for-sale investments (iv) Available-for-sale investments are non-derivative financial assets that are either not capable of being classified into other categories of financial assets due to their nature or they are designated as such by management. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments. They are subsequently measured at fair value with any remeasurements other than impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses recognised in other comprehensive income. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss pertaining to that asset previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified into profit or loss. Available-for-sale financial assets are classified as non-current assets when they are expected to be sold after 12 months from the end of the reporting period. All other available-for-sale financial assets are classified as current assets. Financial Liabilities (v) Non-derivative financial liabilities other than financial guarantees are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss through the amortisation process and when the financial liability is derecognised. – 34 – Galena Mining Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 63 616 317 778 __________________________________________________________________________________ NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES h) Impairment of Assets At the end of each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information including dividends received from subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities deemed to be out of pre-acquisition profits. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. i) Employee Benefits Provision is made for the company’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within a 12 month period have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs. Employee benefits payable later than 12 months have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. j) Equity-settled compensation The Company operates equity-settled share-based payment employee share and option schemes. The fair value of the equity to which employees become entitled is measured at grant date and recognised as an expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase to an equity account. The fair value of shares is ascertained as the market bid price. The fair value of options is ascertained using a Black –Scholes pricing model which incorporates all market vesting conditions. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting date such that the amount recognised for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest. k) Fair Value Measurement When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial is measures at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either; in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market. Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified, into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed at each reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is either not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on market knowledge and reputation. Where there is a significant change in fair value of an asset or liability from one period to another, an analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the latest valuation and a comparison, where applicable, with external sources of data. l) Issued Capital Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. – 35 – Galena Mining Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 63 616 317 778 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES m) Earnings per share Basic earnings per share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of Galena Mining Limited, 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. n) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Company has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured. o) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of 3 months or less. p) Revenue Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST). q) Borrowing Costs All borrowing costs are recognised as expense in the period in which they are incurred. r) Goods and Services Tax (GST) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. 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. Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows. s) Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate all of the assets, liabilities and results of the parent, Galena Mining Limited and all of the subsidiaries (including any structured entities). Subsidiaries are entities the parent controls. The parent controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. A list of the subsidiaries is provided in Note 22. The assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries are fully consolidated into the financial statements of the Group from the date on which control is obtained by the Group. The consolidation of a subsidiary is discontinued from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between group entities are fully eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed and adjustments made where necessary to ensure uniformity of the accounting policies adopted by the Group. – 36 – Galena Mining Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 63 616 317 778 __________________________________________________________________________________ NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1: s) Principles of Consolidation (continued) STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Equity interests in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Group are presented as “non-controlling interests”. The Group initially recognises non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests in subsidiaries and are entitled to a proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets on liquidation at either fair value or at the non- controlling interests’ proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, non-controlling interests are attributed their share of profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income. Non-controlling interests are shown separately within the equity section of the statement of financial position and statement of comprehensive income. The financial report was authorised for issue on 20th September 2018 by the board of directors. t) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Company. Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure Exploration and evaluation costs are carried forward where right of tenure of the area of interest is current. These costs are carried forward in respect of an area that has not at balance date reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves, refer to the accounting policy stated in note 1(f). 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. Significant judgement may be required in determining the valuation technique adopted. The fair value of the options issued in the current period are determined by an internal valuation using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, using the assumptions detailed in note 17. The assumptions detailed in this note are also judgemental. For equity transactions with consultants and other employees, the fair value reflects the value attributable to services where applicable. Where there is no quantifiable value of services the value of options is calculated using the Black and Scholes option pricing model or in the case of share grants, the fair value of an ordinary share is utilised. For instruments issued with market-based conditions, alternative valuation methodologies would be adopted. u) New accounting standards for application in the current period In the year ended 30 June 2018, the Group has reviewed all of the new and revised Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual reporting year. It has been determined by the Group that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change is necessary to the Group accounting policies. v) New accounting standards for application in future periods New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the company for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2018. The Group’s assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the company, is set out below. – 37 – Galena Mining Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 63 616 317 778 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES v) New accounting standards for application in future periods (continued) AASB 9 Financial Instruments This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard replaces all previous versions of AASB 9 and completes the project to replace IAS 39 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement'. AASB 9 introduces new classification and measurement models for financial assets. A financial asset shall be measured at amortised cost, if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, which arise on specified dates and solely principal and interest. All other financial instrument assets are to be classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss unless the entity makes an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on equity instruments (that are not held-for- trading) in other comprehensive income ('OCI'). For financial liabilities, the standard requires the portion of the change in fair value that relates to the entity's own credit risk to be presented in OCI (unless it would create an accounting mismatch). New simpler hedge accounting requirements are intended to more closely align the accounting treatment with the risk management activities of the entity. New impairment requirements will use an 'expected credit loss' ('ECL') model to recognise an allowance. Impairment will be measured under a 12-month ECL method unless the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition in which case the lifetime ECL method is adopted. The standard introduces additional new disclosures. The Group will adopt this standard from 1 July 2018 and the Group expects the impact to be insignificant as there is no hedge instrument in the Group as at the date of these financial statements AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard provides a single standard for revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is that an entity will recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard will require: contracts (either written, verbal or implied) to be identified, together with the separate performance obligations within the contract; determine the transaction price, adjusted for the time value of money excluding credit risk; allocation of the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on a basis of relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service, or estimation approach if no distinct observable prices exist; and recognition of revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. Credit risk will be presented separately as an expense rather than adjusted to revenue. For goods, the performance obligation would be satisfied when the customer obtains control of the goods. For services, the performance obligation is satisfied when the service has been provided, typically for promises to transfer services to customers. For performance obligations satisfied over time, an entity would select an appropriate measure of progress to determine how much revenue should be recognised as the performance obligation is satisfied. Contracts with customers will be presented in an entity's statement of financial position as a contract liability, a contract asset, or a receivable, depending on the relationship between the entity's performance and the customer's payment. Sufficient quantitative and qualitative disclosure is required to enable users to understand the contracts with customers; the significant judgments made in applying the guidance to those contracts; and any assets recognised from the costs to obtain or fulfil a contract with a customer. The Group will adopt this standard from 1 July 2018. The impact of its adoption is expected to be insignificant based on current levels of activity and will be reassessed once the Group generates revenue. – 38 – Galena Mining Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 63 616 317 778 __________________________________________________________________________________ NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES v) New accounting standards for application in future periods (continued) AASB 16 Leases This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The standard replaces AASB 117 'Leases' and for lessees will eliminate the classifications of operating leases and finance leases. Subject to exceptions, a 'right-of-use' asset will be capitalised in the statement of financial position, measured at the present value of the unavoidable future lease payments to be made over the lease term. The exceptions relate to short-term leases of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets (such as personal computers and small office furniture) where an accounting policy choice exists whereby either a 'right-of-use' asset is recognised or lease payments are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. A liability corresponding to the capitalised lease will also be recognised, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of any future restoration, removal or dismantling costs. Straight-line operating lease expense recognition will be replaced with a depreciation charge for the leased asset (included in operating costs) and an interest expense on the recognised lease liability (included in finance costs). In the earlier periods of the lease, the expenses associated with the lease under AASB 16 will be higher when compared to lease expenses under AASB 117. However EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation) results will be improved as the operating expense is replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit or loss under AASB 16. For classification within the statement of cash flows, the lease payments will be separated into both a principal (financing activities) and interest (either operating or financing activities) component. For lessor accounting, the standard does not substantially change how a lessor accounts for leases. The Group will adopt this standard from 1 July 2019 but the impact of its adoption is yet to be assessed by the Group. The impact of its adoption would be insignificant based on current activity. – 39 – Galena Mining Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 63 616 317 778 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2: INCOME TAX EXPENSE a.

Capital risk management The Group objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it may continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. The Group’s capital includes ordinary share capital and financial liabilities, supported by financial assets. Due to the nature of the Group’s activities, being mineral exploration, it does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. Accordingly, the objective of the Group’s capital risk management is to balance the current working capital position against the requirements of the Group to meet exploration programmes and corporate overheads. This is achieved by maintaining appropriate liquidity to meet anticipated operating requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required. The Group is not exposed to externally imposed capital requirements. – 44 – Galena Mining Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 63 616 317 778 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS __________________________________________________________________________________ NOTE 11: ISSUED CAPITAL Capital risk management (Continued) Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Trade and other payables Working capital position 2018 $ 8,526,198 331,689 (961,183) 7,896,704 2017 $ 70,261 6,787 (26,702) 50,346 NOTE 12: SHARE BASED PAYMENT RESERVE The share based payments reserves record items recognised as expenses on valuation of employees and consultants options.

NOTE 20: OPERATING SEGMENTS The Company has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the board of directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. Since the acquisition of the Abra Project, the company manages primarily on the basis of one geographical segment being Australia, and two business segments being mineral exploration and treasury. NOTE 21: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT The Company’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the oversight and management of the Company’s exposure to a variety of financial risks (including market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk). Credit risk The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to recognised financial assets, is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the Statement of Financial Position and notes to the financial statements. The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Company’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions is spread amongst approved counterparties. The company does not have any collateral. Credit risk related to balances with banks and other financial institutions is managed by the board. The board’s policy requires that surplus funds are only invested with counterparties with a Standard & Poor’s rating of at least AA-. All of the Company’s surplus funds are invested with AA Rated financial institutions. The Company does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or Company of receivables under financial instruments entered into by the Company. – 50 – Galena Mining Limited and Controlled Entities ABN 63 616 317 778 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS __________________________________________________________________________________ NOTE 21: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company’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 Company’s reputation. The responsibility with liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors. The Company manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and ensuring that adequate working capital is maintained. The Company’s policy is to ensure that it has sufficient cash reserves to carry out its planned exploration activities over the next 12 months.

In doing so, we 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. We are required to report if we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this Other Information in the Financial Report and based on the work we have performed on the Other Information that we obtained prior to the date of this Auditor’s Report we have nothing to report. Directors’ Responsibilities for the Financial Report The Directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 1, the Directors also state, in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that the financial report complies with International Financial Reporting Standards. In preparing the financial report, the Directors are responsible for assessing the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using a going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the consolidated entity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. 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 and 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 Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individual or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. As part of an audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. – 58 – The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report. We conclude on the appropriateness of the Directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the consolidated entity to cease to continue as a going concern. We evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. We obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the consolidated entity to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with the Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. The Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements. We also provide the Directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with the Directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
