The past financial year will be remembered for many things: the end of the chaotic Trump administration, the surging value of crypto-currencies (in possibly one of the greatest speculative bubbles of all time) and, relevantly for Jindalee and its shareholders, the awakening of global resources investors to the reality of the green energy transition which is gaining pace in the developed world. It seems that not even the ongoing disruption to economic activity wrought by the SARS CoV-2 virus is likely to stymie the replacement of fossil fuels with renewable energy derived from wind, hydro and solar sources. This includes energy for transportation in the form of electric vehicles (EVs). With many countries now mandating the cessation of internal combustion engine manufacture, exponential growth in the number of EVs is predicted, with unsurprising impacts for demand in the materials required for their manufacture. These dynamics have, in turn, supported recent strength in the prices of lithium chemicals and focussed investor attention on potential sources of future lithium supply to the EV industry, including Jindalee’s McDermitt Lithium Project in Oregon USA. This in turn has driven the Jindalee share price higher, and facilitated a well- supported $9m capital raising in the third quarter of the financial year. As a result of this raising, we are pleased to welcome a large number of new investors, including leading Australian institutions, to the Jindalee register for the first time. One of the advantages McDermitt possesses is its proximity to the burgeoning United States battery manufacturing industry. In future years, we expect much greater focus from lithium consumers on sustainability aspects of the lithium supply chain, including the embedded carbon cost of transportation of unprocessed concentrates across large distances to reach refiners, battery manufacturers and, eventually, producers of EVs themselves. The aspiration of the United States auto industry is ideally to have a “closed system” of EV production within the country, focussing attention on opportunities for domestic extraction and supply of lithium. Throughout the financial year, Jindalee has continued to systematically assess and de-risk the McDermitt Project through a combination of resource drilling, metallurgical testwork and commencement of early stage approval processes. In April, we announced a combined Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource of 1.43 billion tonnes at 1,320ppm Li for total of 10.1 Million tonnes Lithium Carbonate Equivalent (LCE) (at a 1,000 ppm cut-off grade) for McDermitt, making it the largest lithium deposit by contained LCE in resource in the United States. The Company has commenced preparation of a Scoping Study on the project, the results of which will be used to guide future exploration and development activities. While the results of our efforts to date have been encouraging, there is still a large amount of work to do to establish the economic viability of lithium extraction from sediment-hosted deposits. There are now several companies at the vanguard of these efforts, including Jindalee, and it has been encouraging to see one such company, Bacanora Lithium PLC, attract a takeover offer from Chinese lithium compounds behemoth Ganfeng Lithium. With Jindalee’s focus being predominantly on McDermitt, the Company has taken the opportunity to continue to rationalise its extensive portfolio of Australian interests. Consistent with its “project generator” model, Jindalee has taken the approach of disposing of or partnering on several assets which are a better suited to development by third parties, and monetising share investments resulting from the divestment of non-core projects. This has enabled the Company to carefully manage its working capital and minimise ongoing dilution to shareholders. In terms of its remaining interests, in the 2022 financial year, Jindalee’s focus will be squarely on its substantial tenement holding in the vicinity of the Widgiemooltha Dome in Western Australia, which is prospective for gold, nickel and potentially lithium. Programmes of work for reconnaissance drilling have been approved, and exploration is expected to commence late 2021. There has been considerable interest in this region over the past financial year, with a number of significant exploration results and discoveries, including at Mincor Resources Limited’s Cassini Nickel Project, which is currently under development. The Jindalee team has grown in size over the past financial year, including through the appointment, in August 2020, of Chief Executive Officer Karen Wellman. Karen brings a wealth of geological and management expertise from her time in senior roles with leading Western Australian gold miner Silver Lake Resources, and has already made a substantial contribution to the Company. We have also modestly grown our technical teams in both Australia and the United States, in support of our exploration and development activities in those jurisdictions. The last 12 months or so has once again reminded us of the importance of both taking a long term perspective and having a high degree of strategic flexibility, when investing in resources exploration and development. While the Board has been gratified by Jindalee’s increased valuation and market presence, there is considerable work ahead to lock in these gains and position the Company for its next leg of growth. As always, the Board is grateful for the continued support of its shareholders, and we look forward to reporting on further progress during the 2022 financial year. Justin Mannolini Non-Executive Chairman Page 2 I A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 2 1 ABN 52 064 121 133ANNUAL REPORT 2017 R E V I E W O F A C T I V I T I E S Since listing in July 2002 Jindalee has been successful in achieving its stated objective of creating wealth for our shareholders using a disciplined approach to mineral exploration. Our strategy to build assets from scratch rather than purchase has paid dividends (literally!) in the past, and we believe we are building for further success with the continued growth in value of our key US Lithium and Widgiemooltha projects discussed below. Jindalee provides shareholders with direct and indirect exposure to a range of commodities including lithium, gold, nickel, base metals, magnesite, uranium, and iron ore through projects generated by the Company’s technical team (Figure 1). Jindalee’s strong balance sheet (around $13 million in cash and shares at 30 June 2021) sees the Company well placed to add value to the projects already in our portfolio and to acquire further high-quality opportunities. During the 2021 Financial Year Jindalee substantially increased the lithium Mineral Resource at McDermitt (USA), and in September 2021 announced that a positive preliminary Scoping Study had been completed at McDermitt. We continued to expand our already significant ground position established in the Widgiemooltha area of Western Australia, as well as opportunistically adding prospective ground to our portfolio to establish a solid project pipeline that will crystallise further value for shareholders. KEY ASSETS US LITHIUM In June 2018 Jindalee announced the acquisition of two sediment hosted lithium (Li) projects in the United States, at McDermitt and Clayton North (Figure 2). These projects are 100% owned by HiTech Minerals Inc., a wholly owned, US based subsidiary of Jindalee and were generated by Jindalee after an extensive search across the western US. Sediment hosted lithium deposits have the potential to be large, long-life sources of lithium that sit at the lower end of the global cost curve. Furthermore, the US currently imports most of its lithium, resulting in the metal being included on the US Department of the Interior’s list of minerals critical to the US economic and national security, with emerging lithium projects receiving strong bipartisan support.

Jindalee’s US Lithium Projects and Li-ion Battery Factories. McDermitt (Jindalee 100%) In November 2019 Jindalee announced an Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) of 150Mt @ 2,000ppm Li at 1,750ppm Li cut-off for 1.6Mt Lithium Carbonate Equivalent (LCE) had been estimated at McDermitt2. This MRE was based on 13 diamond drill holes completed by the Company in 2018 and 2019. Mid-2020 Jindalee announced positive results from metallurgical testwork which demonstrated that beneficiation of McDermitt ore had the potential to result in a significant increase in head grade and reduction in acid consuming minerals, as well as a reduction in the volume of material being leached. Jindalee has continued to advance and derisk the McDermitt Project with further drilling and metallurgical testwork undertaken during the period. Fifteen Reverse Circulation (RC) holes were completed at McDermitt in November and December 2020, with substantial thicknesses of lithium mineralisation intersected in all holes. In April 2021 Jindalee announced an updated MRE of 1.43 Bt @ 1,320ppm Li (0.28% Li2O) at 1,000ppm Li cut-off1 had been estimated at McDermitt (Table 1, below): Cut-off Grade (ppm Li) 500 1,000 1,500 1,750 2,000 Indicated Resource Inferred Resource Indicated & Inferred Resource Tonnage (Mt) Li Grade (ppm) LCE (Mt) Tonnage (Mt) Li Grade (ppm) 283 233 73 44 23 1,340 1,430 1,910 2,110 2,310 2.0 1.8 0.7 0.5 0.3 2,020 1,200 240 85 34 1,130 1,300 1,750 2,000 2,200 LCE (Mt) 12.1 8.3 2.2 0.9 0.4 Tonnage (Mt) Li Grade (ppm) 2,300 1,430 313 129 57 1,150 1,320 1,790 2,040 2,240 LCE (Mt) 14.1 10.1 3.0 1.4 0.7 Table 1 – Summary of McDermitt Mineral Resource Estimate at varying cut-off grades, with preferred reporting cut-off of 1,000ppm highlighted. Note: totals may vary due to rounding. The cut-off grade for reporting of the MRE has reduced from 1,750ppm in 20192 to 1,000ppm in 2021 due to the encouraging results received from metallurgical test work completed by Jindalee through 2020 and 20215 which demonstrated the ore can be beneficiated before leaching. This significantly increases confidence in the ability to reduce operating costs which impacts directly and positively upon the reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction (as per JORC Code 2012). The results of the MRE (Table 1) and ETR (Table 2) at a full range of cut-off grades demonstrate the scalability of the Project.

Table 2 – Summary of McDermitt Exploration Target Range at varying cut-off grades, with preferred reporting cut-off of 1,000ppm highlighted. Note: totals may vary due to rounding. Infill drilling completed in 2020 has increased confidence in geological and grade continuity through the centre of the deposit, allowing conversion of part of the existing Inferred Mineral Resource to Indicated (Figure 3). Furthermore, there is significant scope for resource extensions of the deposit to the west and south in Jindalee’s new claims3, as well as infill drilling of the Inferred material. During the year Jindalee announced that it had staked 271 new claims at McDermitt with the Project now covering 54.6km² straddling the Oregon-Nevada border3 (Figure 3). The new claims cover the interpreted strike extensions of lithium mineralised sediments identified from mapping and recent drilling and suggest that future drilling of this area will result in a further increase to the scale of the McDermitt Project. The new claims were granted in June 2021. Figure 3. Plan showing McDermitt Resource1 and Exploration Target1 Areas & March 2021 Claims.

Approximately 1,000kg of McDermitt ore collected during the 2020 drill program has been submitted for testing to enable optimisation of the processing flow sheet from ore through to the final production of lithium carbonate. The entire process is expected to take approximately 6 months5. Applications for permitting an extensive RC and diamond drill program were submitted to the relevant government agencies mid-2021. The program is designed to upgrade and extend the current Mineral Resource at McDermitt and will maximise resource conversion while minimising the disturbance footprint. A drill contractor has been appointed to complete the program with drilling expected to commence in October, subject to permitting and availability of appropriate personnel. In September 2021 Jindalee announced that a preliminary scoping study on McDermitt had indicated positive operational and economic outcomes5. Although regulatory constraints prevented disclosure of full operational and financial metrics the study confirmed the significance of the Project as a long-life source of future supply to the rapidly growing US battery manufacturing industry. Infill drilling and metallurgical testwork planned for Q4 2021 is expected to enable the release of more detailed Project metrics in 2022. Clayton North (Jindalee 100%) In July 2021 Jindalee announced that an exploration diamond drill program designed to test the Company’s Clayton North prospect had commenced6. Clayton North is located 23km north of Albemarle’s (NYSE: ALB) Silver Peak brine operation, which is currently the only domestic source of lithium in the US. Samples taken by Jindalee in 2018 confirmed the presence of lithium mineralisation, with up to 930ppm Li detected at surface7. This drill program is the first follow up of the surface sampling results with up to 12 drillholes proposed to ascertain grade continuity of lithium mineralisation in fresh sediments. First assay results from the program are expected in October 2021. Page 6 I A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 2 1 WIDGIEMOOLTHA PROJECT Jindalee’s largest Australian project is situated in the Western Australian goldfields south of Kalgoorlie. A significant ground position has been built over the last four years in this premier mining district (Figure 4) with most tenements still in application (Jindalee is the sole applicant in almost all cases). Jimmy Thom, Jindalee’s Exploration Manager at Widgiemooltha. The Widgiemooltha project is prospective for gold, nickel and lithium and Jindalee is encouraged by recent exploration success in the district. Jindalee holds ground north along strike of Mincor Resources’ (ASX: MCR) Cassini nickel mine (1.476Mt @ 4.0% Ni8) and south of Anglo Australian’s (ASX: AAR) Mandilla gold deposit (inferred resource of 19.8Mt @ 1.0g/t Au for 0.66Moz9). Jindalee advises that several Program of Works (PoWs) for drill testing of gold targets at Widgiemooltha have been approved, with drilling expected to commence late 2021, subject to completion of heritage surveys.

In 2017 Jindalee estimated an Inferred Mineral Resource of 25Mt @ 42.4% MgO at 40% MgO cut-off at the Arthur River deposit11. On 22 January 2021, the Company announced an Exploration Target Range (ETR) for the Lyons River deposit, located 6.5km south along strike of the Arthur River deposit12. The ETR, which is constrained to 100m depth, is based on 37 diamond drillholes completed by CRA Exploration (now Rio Tinto) between 1982 and 1989 with mineralisation delineated over a 2km strike, 400m width and 300m depth and open at depth. At a 40% MgO cut-off the ETR is 40-60Mt @ 40-44% MgO (Table 3).

Further drilling designed to upgrade the ETR to a Mineral Resource is planned. Note that the potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource. JOINT VENTURES and NON-MANAGED PROJECTS Leinster Projects (Jindalee 100%; Auroch earning 70%) In July 2020 Jindalee formed a joint venture with Auroch Minerals (ASX: AOU) whereby Auroch can earn a 70% interest in Jindalee’s Leinster tenements (comprising E’s 36/895, 36/910, 36/953 & 37/1370) by spending $0.5m within 3 years, with Jindalee’s 30% free carried to Decision to Mine, based on a Bankable Feasibility Study. Auroch’s exploration to date at Leinster has focussed on nickel mineralisation but Auroch is also expected to follow up historic gold anomalies recorded from both drilling and soil sampling. Joyners JV (Jindalee 20% free carried) The Joyners joint venture with GWR Group Limited (ASX: GWR) forms a part of GWR’s much larger Wiluna West project. GWR has earned an 80% interest in M53/1078, with Jindalee retaining 20%, free-carried through to completion of a Bankable Feasibility Study. Combined Indicated and Inferred iron oxide resources on the joint venture tenement total 7.9 Mt @ 62.2% Fe12. In December 2020 GWR commenced mining of the C4 deposit13, located 11km to the north of the joint venture Page 8 I A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 2 1 ground, and mining of the ‘JWD Deposit,’ situated approximately 1km to the south, commenced in June 202112. Ore from both deposits is currently being trucked to the Port of Geraldton and the development of these deposits and associated establishment of infrastructure at Wiluna West has positive implications for the eventual monetization of the Joyners JV resource. Other Jindalee continued its strategy of divesting non-core projects to spread exploration risk and augment working capital, whilst maintaining focus on key assets with the potential to transform the Company. Divestments completed during the period included the sale of 100% of the Kenya project to Ragnar Metals (ASX: RAG) and 80% of the Salt Creek project to Mt Monger Resources (ASX: MTM). The Company also entered into options for the sale of 90% of the Aries project to Odessa Minerals Ltd and 80% of the Forrestania project to Forrestania Resources Pty Ltd and granted Great Western Exploration (ASX: GTE) an option to earn up to 80% in E53/2129 (Joyners). ABN 52 064 121 133ANNUAL REPORT 2017 R E V I E W O F A C T I V I T I E S INDIRECT INTERESTS Alchemy Resources (Jindalee 2.6% of issued capital) The Company’s holding in Alchemy Resources Limited (ASX: ALY) provides Jindalee shareholders with exposure to Alchemy’s Bryah Basin gold and base metals project (WA), the Karonie gold project (WA), and a joint venture with Heron Resources Limited over properties in central NSW (the Cobar Basin/Lachlan Fold Belt and West Lynn Projects) prospective for gold, base metals and high purity alumina. Further information on Alchemy’s activities can be found in their announcements and on their website, www.alchemyresources.com.au Energy Metals (Jindalee 6% of issued capital) Jindalee holds approximately 12.5 million Energy Metals (ASX: EME) shares, giving shareholders continued exposure to the development of the Bigrlyi uranium- vanadium deposit and the potential of Energy Metals’ other uranium projects. Further information on Energy Metals’ activities can be found in their announcements and on their website, www.energymetals.net Other (Jindalee various holdings) Jindalee holds interests in several other mineral exploration and development companies as a result of previous transactions. These shareholdings will be realised at appropriate times to fund additional activity. CORPORATE Three key senior appointments to the Jindalee team were announced during the year. Karen Wellman commenced as Jindalee’s Chief Executive Officer in October 202014. Karen is a geologist with 20 years’ experience covering all aspects of the mining cycle from early-stage exploration, production and mine geology, through to resource definition and estimation on multiple ore deposits and commodities including gold, copper, lead, zinc, nickel and silver. Karen joined Jindalee from Silver Lake Resources (ASX: SLR) where she was Resource Development Manager and was credited with making significant contributions to the success of the Deflector Gold-Copper Project in WA. Jimmy Thom was appointed Jindalee’s Exploration Manager in May 20215. Jimmy is an experienced geologist with 15 years’ experience across project generation, brownfields exploration and resource development in Australia, Africa and Canada. Jimmy will primarily focus on progressing Jindalee’s WA assets, particularly the Widgiemooltha project which is highly prospective for gold, nickel and lithium. In May 2021 Paul Meyer was engaged to manage exploration and development of the Company’s lithium assets in the United States5. Paul is based in the US and brings a wealth of experience in both exploration geology and environmental management. In March 2021 Jindalee completed a placement of 6M shares to strategic investors, including leading Australian institutions, to raise $9M, before costs15. Completion of the placement and exercise of unlisted options during the period has increased Jindalee’s issued capital to 53.4M shares on issue with cash and marketable securities of approximately $13.3M16 at 30 June 2021. This provides a strong base for advancing projects currently held by the Company and leveraging into new opportunities. Early September 2021 Jindalee was advised that the Company had been awarded $468,750 of exploration credits for FY2022 under the Junior Minerals Exploration Incentive (JMEI). These exploration credits can be issued to eligible shareholders subscribing for new shares issued after 1 September 2021. Widgiemooltha Project.

At the same time the Company maintains the flexibility to deal on other projects as opportunities present, with the divestment of several non-core projects including Kenya, Salt Creek and Aries being recent examples. The strategic land packages acquired at McDermitt and Widgiemooltha are examples of larger scale undertakings where Jindalee believes there is excellent potential to create significant value for shareholders and therefore substantial effort to crystallise this value is warranted. ANNUAL MINERAL RESOURCES STATEMENT Jindalee’s Mineral Resources are reported in accordance with the 2012 JORC Code and estimated or based on documentation prepared by a Competent Person as defined by the 2012 JORC Code unless otherwise specified. All information compiled in this statement has been previously announced, and represent the Company’s Mineral Resource inventory at 30 June 2021. Jindalee ensures that the Minerals Resources quoted are subject to governance arrangement and internal controls. Internal and external reviews of Mineral Resource estimation procedures and results are carried out by a team of experienced technical personnel that is comprised of highly competent and qualified professionals. These reviews have not identified any material issues. Jindalee reports its Mineral Resources on at least an annual basis in accordance with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Minerals Resources and Ore Reserves (the JORC Code), 2012 or 2004 Edition as stated. Competent Persons named in this report are Members or Fellows of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and/or the Australian Institute of Geoscientists and qualify as Competent Persons as defined in the JORC Code. The Company’s procedures for drilling, sampling techniques and analysis are regularly reviewed and audited by independent experts. Assays are undertaken by independent, internationally accredited laboratories with a QA/QC program delivering acceptable levels of accuracy and precision. The only change in the Company’s Mineral Resources during the financial year was a significant increase and upgrade of the McDermitt Mineral Resource announced 8 April 2021. McDermitt Project - Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) At the 30 June 2020, the total MRE at McDermitt was 150Mt @ 2,000ppm Li at 1,750ppm cut-off. Following the completion of infill drilling in Q2, Jindalee announced on 8 April 2021 that the MRE at McDermitt had been increased to 1,430 Mt @ 1,320ppm Li (Indicated and Inferred) at 1,000ppm Li cut-off. Approximately 20% of the Mineral Resource is classified as Indicated, with the remainder classified as Inferred. Cut-off Grade (ppm Li) Indicated Resource Inferred Resource Indicated & Inferred Resource Tonnage (Mt) Li Grade (ppm) LCE (Mt) Tonnage (Mt) Li Grade (ppm) LCE (Mt) Tonnage (Mt) Li Grade (ppm) LCE (Mt) 1,000 233 1,430 1.8 1,200 1,300 8.3 1,430 1,320 10.1 Table 1 – Summary of McDermitt Mineral Resource Estimate at 30 June 2021. Note: totals may vary due to rounding. The total mineral inventory at McDermitt increased from 150Mt @ 2,000ppm Li at 1,750ppm cut-off to 1,430Mt @ 1,320ppm Li at 1000ppm cut-off, representing an increase of contained lithium metal of over 650%. The increase in the MRE from 2019 to 2021 was due to infill and extensional drilling (15 holes) completed in 2020 and a reduction in the cut-off grade for reporting of the MRE from 1,750ppm in 2019 to 1,000ppm in 2021 due to the encouraging results received from metallurgical test work completed by Jindalee through 2020 and 2021 which demonstrated the ore can be beneficiated before leaching. This significantly increases confidence in the ability to reduce operating costs which impacts directly and positively upon the reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction (as per JORC Code 2012).

A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 2 1 I Page 13 ABN 52 064 121 133ANNUAL REPORT 2017 D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T The Directors present their report on the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as the Group) consisting of Jindalee Resources Limited and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during the year ended 30 June 2021. Directors The following persons were directors of Jindalee Resources Limited during the whole of the financial year and up to the date of this report unless noted otherwise: Lindsay Dudfield Justin Mannolini Patricia Farr Principal activities The principal activity of Jindalee Resources Limited during the year was mineral exploration. During the year there was no change in the nature of this activity. Financial results The consolidated loss of the Group after providing for income tax for the year ended 30 June 2021 was $504,303 (2020: loss $250,878). Dividends No dividends have been declared since the end of the previous financial year and no dividends have been recommended by the Directors. Significant changes in the state of affairs During the year there has been no significant change in the state of affairs of the Group. Operations and financial review Jindalee’s strategy is to identify and acquire projects with the potential to transform the Company and this continued to be the Group’s primary focus. During the year efforts were concentrated on the McDermitt Lithium Project (US) and included drilling to both increase the maiden inferred resource announced in 2019 and deliver an expanded exploration target, as well as metallurgical testwork to further derisk the Project. The Company also increased its ground position in the Widgiemooltha area and acquired other projects in Western Australia. McDermitt Fifteen Reverse Circulation (RC) holes were completed at the McDermitt Project during the period, with substantial thicknesses of lithium mineralisation intersected in all holes. In April 2021 Jindalee announced a combined Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource Inventory at McDermitt of 1.43Bt at an average grade of 1,320 ppm Li for a total of 10.1Mt Lithium Carbonate Equivalent (LCE), using a cut –off grade of 1,000 ppm Li1, making McDermitt the largest lithium deposit in the US by contained lithium in Mineral Resource. The 1,000 ppm Li cut –off grade used is appropriate in the context of similar projects and results from recent metallurgical testwork, based on an assessment of the likelihood of future economic extraction as required by the JORC (2012) Code. The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in this market announcement and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates of mineral resources referenced in this market announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed. The Company also announced that McDermitt deposit remains open with an independently estimated Exploration Target Range (ETR) of 1.3Bt to 2.3Bt at 1,100ppm to 1,500ppm Li surrounding the Resource1. *Note that the potential quantity and grade of the ETR is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource over the Exploration Target and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of additional Mineral Resources. Metallurgical testwork undertaken on McDermitt ore demonstrated that beneficiation using attrition scrubbing can increase the lithium content by up to 60% and remove acid consuming minerals2. Page 14 I A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 2 1 ABN 52 064 121 133ANNUAL REPORT 2017 D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T Additional work planned for McDermitt includes further metallurgical test work, a scoping study and other technical studies, commencement of early stage permitting activities and drilling to build on and upgrade the current Mineral Resource estimate. Western Australia During the year the Company added to its existing ground position in the Widgiemooltha area of Western Australia (WA) and pegged additional prospective tenements in Western Australia. At Widgiemooltha, the Company received approval from the WA Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS) to drill untested gold targets, with drilling expected to commence late 2021. Impact of COVID –19 The Group continues to monitor the ongoing and evolving situation relating to the Coronavirus pandemic (COVID –19) and the potential implications for the health and wellbeing of the Group’s employees, contractors and stakeholders. The Company has implemented various health and safety measures and has concluded at this time that there has been no material impact on the Group’s solvency or its ability to continue as a going concern. Financial The net assets of the Group have increased by $12,231,648 from $5,374,940 at 30 June 2020 to $17,606,588 at 30 June 2021, principally due to raising $11,049,539 from the issue of shares during the year and share based payments of $996,412 net of the Group’s loss for the year of $504,303. The Directors believe the Group is in a sound financial position to continue its exploration endeavours.

AUDITED REMUNERATION REPORT The Directors are pleased to present Jindalee Resources Limited 2021 remuneration report which sets out remuneration information for the Company’s non-executive directors, executive directors and other key management personnel. The report contains the following sections: (a) Key management personnel disclosed in this report (b) Remuneration governance and the use of remuneration consultants (c) Executive remuneration policy and framework (d) Relationship between remuneration and the Group’s performance (e) Non-executive director remuneration policy (f) Voting and comments made at the Company’s 2020 Annual General Meeting (g) Details of remuneration (h) Service agreements (i) Details of share-based compensation and bonuses (j) Equity instruments held by key management personnel (k) Loans to key management personnel (l) Other transactions with key management personnel (a) Key management personnel disclosed in this report J Mannolini Non-Executive Chairman L Dudfield Executive Director P Farr Executive Director/Company Secretary K Wellman Chief Executive Officer (appointed 12 October 2020) P Darvall Managing Director (resigned 31 December 2019) For further details on each director see pages 16 and 17. (b) Remuneration governance and use of remuneration consultants The Company has a Remuneration Policy however has not established a separate Remuneration Committee. Due to the early stage of development and small size of the Company a separate Remuneration Committee was not considered to add any efficiency to the process of determining the levels of remuneration for directors and key executives. The Board considers that it is more appropriate to set aside time at a Board meeting each year to specifically address matters that would ordinarily fall to a remuneration committee such as reviewing remuneration, recruitment, retention and termination procedures and evaluating senior executives remuneration packages and incentives. A copy of the Remuneration Policy can be found on the Company’s website www.jindalee.net In addition, all matters of remuneration will continue to be in accordance with the Corporations Act requirement, especially with regard to related party transactions. That is, none of the directors participate in any deliberations regarding their own remuneration or related issues. Independent external advice is sought from remuneration consultants when required, however no advice has been sought during the year ended 30 June 2021. The Corporate Governance Statement provides further information on the Company’s remuneration governance. Further details on the Corporate Governance Statement can be found on the Company’s website www.jindalee.net Page 18 I A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 2 1 ABN 52 064 121 133ANNUAL REPORT 2017 D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T (c) Executive remuneration policy and framework In determining executive remuneration, the Board aims to ensure that remuneration practices are: • • • • Competitive and reasonable, enabling the Company to attract and retain key talent Aligned to the Company’s strategic and business objectives and the creation of shareholder value Transparent and easily understood, and Acceptable to shareholders. All executives receive consulting fees or a salary, part of which may be taken as superannuation, and from time to time, options. Options issued to Directors are subject to approval by Shareholders. The Board reviews executive packages annually by reference to the executive’s performance and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries. Board members are allocated superannuation guarantee contributions as required by law, and do not receive any other retirement benefits. From time to time, some individuals may choose to sacrifice their salary or consulting fees to increase payments towards superannuation. All remuneration paid to directors and specified executives is valued at the cost to the Group and expensed. Options are valued using the Black-Scholes methodology. (d) Relationship between remuneration and the Group’s performance The policy setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors, was developed and approved by the Board and is considered appropriate for the current exploration phase of the Groups development. Emoluments of Directors are set by reference to payments made by other companies of similar size and industry, and by reference to the skills and experience of directors. Fees paid to directors are not linked to the performance of the Group. This policy may change once the exploration phase is complete and the Company is generating revenue. At present the existing remuneration policy is not impacted by the Group’s performance including earnings and changes in shareholder wealth (dividends, changes in share price or returns of capital to shareholders). The Board has not set short term performance indicators, such as movements in the Company’s share price, for the determination of director emoluments as the Board believes this may encourage performance which is not in the long-term interests of the Company and its shareholders. The Board has structured its remuneration arrangements in such a way it believes is in the best interests of building shareholder wealth in the longer term. The Board believes participation in the Company’s Employee Share Option Plan motivates key management and executives with the long-term interests of shareholders. The following table shows the share price and the market capitalisation of the Group at the end of each of the last five financial years. Share Price Market Capitalisation Dividends (cents per share) 2017 $0.21 $7.33M – 2018 $0.28 2019 $0.39 2020 $0.32 2021 $2.50 $9.77M $13.65M $12.4M $133.5M – – – – (e) Non-executive director remuneration policy On appointment to the Board, all non-executive directors enter into a service agreement with the Company in the form of a letter of appointment. The letter summarises the Board policies and terms including remuneration, relevant to the office of director. The Board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at commercial market rates for comparable companies for their time, commitment and responsibilities. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting and is currently set at $200,000 per annum. Fees for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the Group. Non-executive directors’ remuneration may also include an incentive portion consisting of options, subject to approval by Shareholders.

CORPORATION INFORMATION These financial statements of Jindalee Resources Limited for the year ended 30 June 2021 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of directors on 25 August 2021. The financial statements cover the Group of Jindalee Resources Limited and it’s controlled entities. Jindalee Resources Limited is a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are described in Note 3. Unless otherwise stated, policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are consistent with those of the previous year. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES In order to assist in the understanding of the financial statements, the following summary explains the material accounting policies that have been adopted in the preparation of the accounts. (a) Statement of Compliance These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Urgent Issues Group Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001. Compliance with IFRS The consolidated financial statements of Jindalee Resources Limited also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). (b) New Accounting Standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the Group The accounting standards and interpretations relevant to the operations of the Group are consistent with those of the previous financial year. There are some amendments and interpretations effective for the first time from 1 July 2020, though they did not have any impact on the current period or any prior period and is not likely to affect future periods. A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations issued by the AASB which are not yet mandatorily applicable to the Group have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements and none are expected to be relevant to the Group. The Group does not plan to adopt these standards early. (c) Basis of Preparation/Accounting The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs and do 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. In applying International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. Accounting policies are selected and applied in a manner which ensures that the resulting financial information satisfies the concepts of relevance and reliability, thereby ensuring that the substance of the underlying transactions or other events is reported. These accounting policies have been consistently applied throughout the year. A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 2 1 I Page 29 ABN 52 064 121 133ANNUAL REPORT 2017 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) The significant accounting policies set out below have been applied in the preparation and presentation of the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2021 and the comparative information. (d) Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary of Jindalee Resources Limited (“Company” or “Parent Entity”) as at 30 June 2021 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Jindalee Resources Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in the financial statements as the Group or consolidated entity. Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one- half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de- consolidated from the date that control ceases. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries are changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the parent entity information disclosures of Jindalee Resources Limited. Changes in ownership interests The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the Group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognised in a separate reserve within equity attributable to owners of Jindalee Resources Limited. When the Group ceases to have control, joint control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, jointly controlled entity or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss. If the ownership interest in a jointly-controlled entity or an associate is reduced but joint control or significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate. (e) Cash and Cash Equivalents For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, and term deposits repayable on demand with a financial institution. The cash and cash equivalents balance primarily consists of funds on term deposit with original maturity at time of purchase of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to minimal risk of changes in value. (f) Trade and Other Receivables Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value, less any allowance for expected credit losses. See note 10 for further information about the group’s accounting for trade receivables. Page 30 I A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 2 1 ABN 52 064 121 133ANNUAL REPORT 2017 NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATEDFINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (g) Revenue Recognition 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. Revenue in relation to joint venture agreements is recognised over the period the services are rendered. (h) Property, Plant and Equipment Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value. Depreciation is calculated using the diminishing value and prime cost methods and is brought to account over the estimated economic lives of all property, plant and equipment. The rates used are based on the useful life of the assets and range from 10% to 40%. The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reassessed at each reporting date. (i) Impairment of Assets The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset’s values in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash- generating unit exceeds its’ recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. 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. Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset. As assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had the impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at the revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life. (j) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure The Group’s policy with regards to exploration and evaluation expenditure, including the costs of acquiring licences and permits, are capitalised as exploration and evaluation assets on an area of interest basis. Under this method exploration and evaluation expenditure is carried forward on the following basis: A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 2 1 I Page 31 ABN 52 064 121 133ANNUAL REPORT 2017 NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATEDFINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) i) ii) Each area of interest is considered separately when deciding whether, and to what extent, to carry forward or write off exploration and evaluation costs. Exploration and evaluation expenditure related to an area of interest is carried forward provided that rights to tenure of the area of interest are current and that one of the following conditions is met: – – such evaluation costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest or alternatively, by its sale; or exploration and/or evaluation activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves and active and significant operations in relation to the area are continuing. Exploration and evaluation costs accumulated in respect of each particular area of interest include only net direct expenditure. (k) Trade and Other Payables Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and usually paid within 30 days of recognition. (l) Employee Entitlements The Group’s liability for employee entitlements arising from services rendered by employees to reporting date are recognised in current liabilities. Employee entitlements expected to be settled within one year together with entitlements arising from wages and salaries, and annual leave which will be settled within one year, have been measured at their nominal amount and include related on –costs. (m) Share Based Payment Transactions Under AASB 2 Share Based Payments, the Group must recognise the fair value of options granted to directors, employees and consultants as remuneration as an expense on a pro-rata basis over the vesting period in the 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. For options the fair value is determined using a Black-Scholes model. (n) Loss Per Share (i) Basic Loss Per Share Basic loss per share is determined by dividing the operating loss attributable to the equity holder of the Group after income tax by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial period. (ii) Diluted Loss Per Share Diluted loss per share adjusts the figures used in determination of basic earnings per share by taking into account amounts unpaid on ordinary shares and any reduction in earnings per share that will arise from the exercise of options outstanding during the period. (o) Contributed Equity Issued and paid up capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Group. Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds received.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (p) Income Tax and Other Taxes Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the statement of financial position date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except: • When the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or • When the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry –forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except: • When the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or • When the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interest in joint ventures, in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each statement of financial position date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each statement of financial position date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in profit or loss. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority. Goods & Services Tax Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except: • Where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and • Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position. Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flow arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority. (q) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the Group and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accounting for capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure The Group’s accounting policy is stated at Note 2(j). There is some subjectivity involved in the carrying forward as capitalised or writing off to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income exploration and evaluation expenditure, however management give due consideration to areas of interest on a regular basis and are confident that decisions to either write off or carry forward such expenditure fairly reflect the prevailing situation. Share-based payments The Group measures share-based payments at fair value at the grant date. The fair value is determined using a Black-Scholes model or other valuation technique appropriate for the instrument being valued. Deferred tax balances Deferred tax assets in respect of tax losses are not recognised in the financial statements as management considers that it is currently not probable that future taxable profits will be available to utilise those tax losses. Management reviews on a regular basis the future profitability of the Group to consider if tax losses should be recognised and to ensure that any tax losses recognised will be utilised. (r) Investment and other financial assets Financial Instruments The Group has exposure to interest rate risk which is the risk that the Group’s financial position will be adversely affected by movements in interest rates. Interest rate risk on cash and short term deposits is not considered to be a material risk due to the short term nature of these financial instruments. The Group has no monetary foreign currency assets or liabilities. Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the reporting date which are classified as non-current assets. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) include financial assets that are trading or that meet certain conditions and are designated at FVTPL upon initial recognition. All derivative financial instruments fall into this category, except for those designated and effective as hedging instruments, for which the hedge accounting requirements apply. Assets in this category are measured at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss. The fair values of financial assets in this category are determined by reference to active market transactions or using a valuation technique where no active market exists. Recognition and derecognition Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date-the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit and/or loss are initially recognised at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the Page 34 I A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 2 1 ABN 52 064 121 133ANNUAL REPORT 2017 NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATEDFINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. Subsequent measurement Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Gains on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss. Details on how the fair value of financial instruments is determined is disclosed in Note 19. (s) Provisions Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date. The discount rate used to determine the present value reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. (t) Dividends Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the entity, on or before the end of the reporting period but not distributed at the end of the reporting period. (u) Leases Right-of-use assets The Group recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any re-measurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Unless the Group is reasonably certain to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the recognised right- of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of its estimated useful life and the lease term. Right-of-use assets are subject to impairment. Lease liabilities At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for terminating a lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expense in the period on which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the in-substance fixed lease payments or a change in the assessment to purchase the underlying asset. Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of machinery and equipment (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of office equipment that are considered of low value (i.e., below $5,000). Lease payments on short- term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

SEGMENT INFORMATION Management has determined that the Group has two reportable segments, being mineral exploration in Australia and the United States. As the Group is focused on mineral exploration, the Board periodically monitors the Group based on actual versus budgeted exploration expenditure incurred in each of these geographical locations. This internal reporting framework is most relevant to assist the Board with making decisions regarding the Group and its ongoing exploration programmes and activities, while also taking into consideration the results of exploration work that has been performed to date.

Jindalee Resources Limited and its wholly owned subsidiaries have not implemented the tax consolidation legislation. Jindalee Resources Limited has unrecognised deferred tax assets at year-end of $1,226,072 (2020: $1,328,985) representing unrecognised tax losses. Jindalee Resources Limited is not considered to be a base rate entity for income tax purposes and is therefore subject to income tax at a rate of 30% (2020: 30%). Net deferred tax assets have not been brought to account as it is not probable within the immediate future that tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilised. The Company’s ability to use losses in the future is subject to the Company satisfying the relevant tax authority’s criteria for using these losses.

No trade receivables were past due or impaired as at 30 June 2021 (2020: nil). Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. A provision for doubtful receivables is established, using the expected credit loss model under AASB 9 when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. The amounts held in trade and other receivables do not contain impaired assets and are not past due. Based on the credit history of these trade and other receivables, it is expected that these amounts will be received when due. Due to the short –term nature of these receivables their carrying value is assumed to be their fair value. Please refer to Note 19 for information on credit risk. 11.

SHARE BASED PAYMENT TRANSACTIONS (continued) The weighted average remaining contractual life of share options outstanding at the end of the period is 2.2 years (2020: 2 years). Fair Value of Share Options and Assumptions The fair value of services received in return for share options granted to directors is measured by reference to the fair value of options granted. The estimate of the fair value of the services is measured based on a Black –Scholes option valuation methodology. This life of the options and early exercise option are built into the option model. The assumptions used for the options valuation are as follows: Grant Date Exercise Price Expected Life Share Price at Time of Issue Expected Volatility Dividend Yield Risk Free Interest Rate Option Value Grant Date Exercise Price Expected Life Share Price at Time of Issue Expected Volatility Dividend Yield Risk Free Interest Rate Option Value T1 T2 T3 T4 T5 22/08/2017 22/11/2017 22/11/2017 22/11/2017 22/11/2017 $0.40 $0.40 $0.40 $0.50 $0.60 4.85 years 4.77 years 4.77 years 4.77 years 4.77 years $0.18 65% 0% 2.20% $0.065 $0.25 65% 0% 2.14% $0.11 $0.25 65% 0% 2.14% $0.11 $0.25 65% 0% 2.14% $0.095 $0.25 65% 0% 2.14% $0.084 T6 T7 T8 T9 T10 16/01/2019 19/11/2020 27/11/2020 27/11/2020 22/03/2020 $0.50 $1.00 $0.40 $0.50 $3.50 3.45 years 3.00 years 4.56 years 4.56 years 3.00 years $0.28 65% 0% 1.92% $0.089 $0.76 80% 0% 0.43% $0.34 $0.83 80% 0% 0.43% $0.62 $0.83 80% 0% 0.43% $0.59 $1.60 80% 0% 0.43% $0.52 All options are fully vested except series T9 issued to K Wellman (CEO), which vest on 30 April 2022 subject to her remaining employed as CEO of the Company on that date. 19. FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT (a) Capital Risk Management The Group manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern. In managing its capital, the Group’s primary objective is to ensure its continued ability to provide a consistent return for its equity shareholders. In order to achieve this object, the Group seeks to maintain a capital structure that balances risks and returns at an acceptable level and also to maintain a sufficient funding base to enable the Group to meet its working capital and strategic investment needs. In making decisions to adjust its capital structure to achieve these aims, either through new share issues, or sourcing of debt, the Group considers not only its short-term position but also its long-term operational and strategic objectives. There have been no significant changes to the Group’s capital management objectives, policies and processes in the year nor has there been any change in what the Group considers to be its capital. The capital structure of the Group consists of cash and cash equivalents (Note 9) and equity attributable to equity holders of the Group, comprising issued capital, reserves and retained earnings (accumulated losses) as disclosed in Notes 15, 16 and 17 respectively.

FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) (b) Significant Accounting Policies Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, in respect of each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed in Note 2 of the financial statements. (c) Categories of Financial Instruments Financial Assets Current Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss 2021 $ 2020 $ 10,158,652 265,474 221,179 839,726 54,092 305,858 Total Current Financial Assets 10,906,495 1,199,676 Non-current Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss Other receivables Total Non-Current Financial Assets Financial Liabilities Current Trade and other payables Lease liabilities Total Current Financial Liabilities Non-current Lease liabilities Total Current Financial Liabilities (d) Credit Risk Exposure 2,862,844 62,268 2,925,113 1,827,574 61,106 1,888,680 114,569 74,788 189,357 – – 12,513 63,299 75,812 74,537 74,537 The Group invests its surplus funds on deposit with Australian banking financial institutions, namely the National Australia Bank and ANZ Bank. For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a minimum rating of AA– are accepted. As at the reporting date, the Group has no other significant concentrations of credit risk. The carrying amount reflected above represents the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk. (e) Interest Rate Risk Exposure The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk arises from assets bearing variable interest rates. The weighted average interest rate on cash holdings was 0.90% at 30 June 2021 (2020: 2.00%) and 12.5% on lease liabilities. All other financial assets and liabilities are non-interest bearing. The net fair value of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities approximates their carrying value. The table below summarises the impact of an increase/decrease in interest rates received on financial instruments held at year end on the Group’s pre-tax profit for the year and on equity. The analysis is based on the assumption that rates increased/decreased proportionally by 10% of the current weighted average interest rate with all other variables held constant.

This arises from investments held by the Group and classified in the statement of financial position as financial assets at fair value through profit and loss. The Group is not exposed to commodity price risk. To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Group diversifies its portfolio. The table below summarises the impact of an increase/decrease in prices of securities held at year end on the Group’s pre-tax profit for the year and on equity. The analysis is based on the assumption that the prices of all securities increased/decreased by 10% with all other variables held constant. Impact on profit and equity Increase of 10% Decrease of –10% (g) Liquidity Risk 2021 $ 286,284 (286,284) 2020 $ 213,343 (213,343) The liquidity position of the Group is managed to ensure sufficient liquid funds are available to meet our financial commitments in a timely and cost-effective manner. The Board reviews the Group’s liquidity position on a regular basis including cash flow statements to determine the forecast liquidity position and maintain appropriate liquidity levels. Note 14 details the Group’s current obligations which are all due within 12 months and reflect the actual cash flows given the short-term nature of these liabilities. There are no unused borrowing facilities from any financial institution.

Receivables/payables Due to the short-term nature of these financial rights and obligations, their carrying amounts are estimated to represent their fair values. Non-current receivables receive a market rate of interest and are assessed as representing their fair values. Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss Assets in this category are measured at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss. The fair values of financial assets in this category are determined by reference to active market transactions or using a valuation technique where no active market exists. Refer to Note 22 for further details. 20. CONTINGENCIES Contingent Liabilities Claims of Native Title To date the Group has been notified by the Native Title Tribunal of native title claims which cover some of the Group’s licence holdings. Until further information arises in relation to the claims and its likelihood of success, the Group is unable to assess the likely effect, if any, of the claims. Performance Bonds and Security Documents In support of titles granted to or operated by the Group, various securities are submitted to the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety. These consist of unconditional performance bonds and securities or Form 32 security documents. The Company has no liability outstanding.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The carrying values of financial assets and liabilities of the Group approximate their fair values. Fair values of financial assets and liabilities have been determined for measurement and / or disclosure purposes. Fair value hierarchy The Group classifies assets and liabilities carried at fair value using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in determining that value. The table following analyses financial instruments carried at fair value by the valuation method. The different levels in the hierarchy have been defined as follows: Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Refer to Note 2 of the Financial Report for a description of the accounting policy and significant judgements applied to capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure. In accordance with AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources (“AASB 6”), the recoverability of exploration and evaluation expenditure requires significant judgment by management in determining whether there are any facts or circumstances that exist to suggest that the carrying amount of this asset may exceed its recoverable amount. As a result, this is considered a key audit matter. Our procedures included, but were not limited to:  Obtaining a schedule of the areas of interest held by the Group and assessing whether the rights to tenure of those areas of interest remained current at balance date;     Considering the status of the ongoing exploration programmes in the respective areas of interest by holding discussions with management, and reviewing the Group’s exploration budgets, ASX announcements and directors’ minutes; Considering whether any such areas of interest had reached a stage where a reasonable assessment of economically recoverable reserves existed; Considering whether any facts or circumstances existed to suggest impairment testing was required; and Assessing the adequacy of the related disclosures in Notes 2 and 13 to the Financial Report. 44 A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 2 1 I Page 55 ABN 52 064 121 133ANNUAL REPORT 2017 AUDITOR’S REPORT Other information The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information contained in the Directors' report for the year ended 30 June 2021, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon, which we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, and the Group’s annual report, which is expected to be made available to us after that date. Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. When we read the Group’s annual report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to the directors and will request that it is corrected. If it is not corrected, we will seek to have the matter appropriately brought to the attention of users for whom our report is prepared. Responsibilities of the directors for the Financial Report The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. 45 Page 56 I A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 2 1 ABN 52 064 121 133ANNUAL REPORT 2017 AUDITOR’S REPORT A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website (http://www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx) at: https://www.auasb.gov.au/admin/file/content102/c3/ar1_2020.pdf This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
