The past financial year saw the beginning of the end of loose monetary policy across the globe as central banks grappled with the re-emergence of inflation triggered by both COVID-related supply chain disruptions and the push towards de-globalisation, following geo-political tensions in both Europe and Asia. Consequently, after more than a decade of relatively benign conditions, interest rates have begun to climb towards more neutral levels, triggering a sell-off in risk assets towards the end of the financial year. This process would appear to have some way to go, suggesting that increased market volatility will be with us well into 2023. Through all the noise, however, the global push towards de-carbonisation continues apace, greatly benefiting companies with exposure to the electric vehicle (EV) thematic, such as Jindalee via its 100% owned McDermitt Lithium Project in Oregon. Lithium prices remained elevated above long term consensus estimates throughout the past financial year, briefly pushing the Jindalee share price to record highs before some negative analyst commentary on lithium and the re-pricing of risk assets in the last quarter took their toll. Nonetheless, it is pleasing to see Jindalee’s valuation continuing to increase. With a number of lithium developers coming on stream in the next few years, and existing producers ramping up production wherever possible, we can expect lithium prices to moderate in the coming years. However, lithium remains at the heart of power sources for both fixed and mobile electrical applications, and longer-term, the market remains in deficit. The Board is of the view that battery metals will remain “the place to be” in the commodities spectrum for some time yet. With this in mind, in the third quarter of the financial year Jindalee announced its intention to separate its US and Australian assets via a spin-off of a new vehicle, Dynamic Metals Limited, to be led by Jindalee CEO Karen Wellman. While preparations for the separation continue, the Board intends to wait for more stable conditions to return to the market before proceeding. In the meantime, Dynamic has been allocated a budget to continue exploration in the highly prospective Widgiemooltha district in Western Australia. At McDermitt, Jindalee has continued to build out its on- the-ground team. The Company has purchased a property in McDermitt and is increasing its community presence in the lead up to the planned 2023 drilling programme. The company is currently in the process of completing the remainder of the 39-hole programme approved in November 2021, which is expected to increase the confidence in the McDermitt mineral resource which now stands at 13.3Mt LCE. Early results are encouraging. Metallurgical and process test work also continues, both by Jindalee and a number of its peers, in an attempt to determine the optimal means of processing lithium- bearing sediments of the kind found at McDermitt. Success in this regard is essential in order to establish the economic viability of lithium extraction from such deposits. This is a laborious process, and constraints in various parts of the testing sector means that progress has been slower that the Board would like. Given the novelty of this style of mineralisation, both advancements and disappointments can be expected. At a macro level, the US political environment has taken on a more supportive tone over the last year, with President Biden signing into law the US Inflation Reduction Act 2022 just after the end of the financial year. The landmark legislation requires that at least 40% of the value of the battery minerals in qualifying US vehicles must have been extracted or processed in the US (or free trade partner countries) by 2024 for automakers to obtain half of the $7,500 tax credit for purchases of new EVs. The 2024 deadline will be too soon for early-stage developers like Jindalee, with existing producers more likely to benefit. However, it provides an incentive for US automakers to hasten their pivot towards electric powertrains, in a further indication that we are indeed in the midst of a massive shift in industrial production that will benefit the battery metals complex generally. As in previous years, Jindalee has continued to rationalise its extensive portfolio of Australian interests and has disposed of, or partnered on, several of its non- core project interests in Australia, as well as monetising share investments resulting from the prior divestments. This has enabled the Company to carefully manage its working capital and minimise ongoing dilution to shareholders, while still advancing its portfolio. The Jindalee team has grown in size over the past financial year with a small number of important hires in both Australia and the US. Following year end, we were also pleased to welcome new non-executive director Darren Wates to the Board in August 2022, and farewelled our long-serving executive director Trish Farr. The Board continues to assess opportunities for expansion with a particular focus on the technical skill sets that will be required to further advance McDermitt. As always, the Board is grateful for the continued support of its shareholders, and we look forward to reporting on further progress during the 2023 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 2 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 $10.8 million in cash and shares at 30 June 2022) sees the Company well placed to add value to the projects already in our portfolio and to acquire further high-quality opportunities. During the 2022 financial year Jindalee continued to advance its 100% owned McDermitt Lithium Project (USA). The Company also expanded its 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.

An updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) was announced in July 2022 following the completion of drilling in December 20212. A total of 6 RC and 6 diamond holes were drilled in December 2021 with the aim of increasing confidence in the mineral resource to allow for conversion of Inferred Mineral Resource to Indicated. Significant widths of lithium mineralisation were intersected in every drill hole, with highlights from the 2021 program3 including: • MDD014: 38.0m @1751ppm Li from 43.0m incl. 3.0m @ 3805ppm Li • MDD015: 21.0m @1952ppm Li from 24.0m incl. 3.0m @ 3065ppm Li • MDD016: 24.0m @2210ppm Li from 61.5m incl. 9.0m @ 3000ppm Li • MDD017: 40.5m @1714ppm Li from 33.0m incl. 12.0m @ 2732 ppm Li • MDD018: 60.0m @1880ppm Li from 48.0m incl. 15.0m @ 2707ppm Li • MDD019: 73.5m @1554ppm Li from 30.0m incl. 10.5m @ 3055ppm Li The 2022 combined Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource update represents an overall increase (from 2021) in tonnage of 25%, with a 3% increase in grade for a 28% increase in contained lithium. More importantly, the Indicated Mineral Resource increased by over 165% by tonnage and 2% in grade for an overall 170% increase in contained metal at this higher confidence classification (Table 1).

Note: totals may vary due to rounding. The grade continuity that is characteristic of this style of lithium mineralisation is demonstrated by the material uplift in confidence of the Mineral Resource from the 12 holes drilled in 2021. An additional 28 drillholes are fully permitted to drill in 2022 with the aim to infill and upgrade the Resource and to define the full extent of the lithium mineralisation at the McDermitt Project. A diamond rig commenced drilling at McDermitt in July, with 10 holes completed by late August4, and a Reverse Circulation (RC) rig is scheduled to arrive in September to complete the remaining 18 holes (Figure 3). First assay results from the drilling are expected to be received in October 2022. Jindalee continues de-risking the Project on multiple fronts. In addition to the 2022 drilling program the Company is currently progressing environmental baseline studies ahead of submitting an application for an Exploration Plan of Operation (EPO) in the March quarter 2023. Additionally, metallurgical studies at Nagrom are ongoing, focussing on optimising the processing flowsheet from recommendations identified in the Scoping Study5. Bipartisan support for US critical mineral projects continued to grow during the period. In March 2022 President Biden invoked the Defense Production Act6 to accelerate domestic production of battery minerals, including lithium, and in June announced steps to build a network of 500,000 electric vehicle (EV) chargers across the US, a key piece of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. A budget of $7.5B is proposed for EV charging infrastructure, with a further $7B proposed for the critical materials supply chains necessary for batteries, components, materials and recycling7. In August 2022 the Inflation Reduction Act was signed which requires at least 40% of the value of critical minerals in an electric vehicle’s battery be processed in the US or by a free trade partner commencing in 2024 and increasing by 10% every year to reach 80% by 20288. Also in August California, the most populous state in the US, announced a ban on sales of new internal combustion engine vehicles by 20359. Jindalee is encouraged by these recent developments, which have positive implications for the potential development of the McDermitt deposit.

The priority areas were defined through the rigorous application of the Kambalda komatiite nickel sulphide model. Jindalee subsequently completed soil geochemical surveys in the priority areas in the March quarter and used the results to design and prioritise staged drilling programs. The drilling programs are scheduled for FY23 and FY24 and will commence subject to the grant of key tenements, Program of Works (PoW) approval and heritage survey requirements. Jindalee engaged a recognised Lithium-Caesium- Tantalum (LCT) pegmatite exploration expert during the year to rank the LCT pegmatite potential across the Widgiemooltha project. The Widgiemooltha project area is relatively under explored for LCT pegmatites and is located favourably in relation to source granites and structural architecture important for LCT pegmatite formation. Jindalee ranked the Widgiemooltha tenure and prioritised each prospective tenement for field evaluation. Field evaluation commenced in Q4 FY22 and included prospecting in areas mapped as exposed or residual bedrock geology. Rock chips samples were collected and sent for LCT pegmatite suite geochemistry. The results from the geochemical results will be used to interpret fractionation trends that will provide a vector towards LCT pegmatite mineralisation. At the beginning of December a total of 41 air core holes (for 1,510m) were completed at the Chalice prospect, located 20km south west of Widgiemooltha townsite on E 15/170515. The drilling tested extensions to gold anomalism established from historic RAB and aircore drilling associated with a shear zone orientated sub parallel to a granite-ultramafic contact. Holes were collared 50m apart along lines spaced between 200-800m across a total strike length of approximately 3km. Composite 4m samples were analysed for gold via fire assay and bottom of hole samples were submitted for multi element geochemistry. Low level gold results were returned and no further drilling is planned at this point in time. Clayton North (Jindalee 100%) In November 2021 Jindalee announced assay results from a “proof of concept” drilling program designed to test the Company’s Clayton North prospect10. 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. Six diamond drillholes were completed with the best results being returned from a fine grained siltstone and claystone unit intersected in hole CNDD012 including: • 6.1m @ 1093 ppm Li from 24.4m incl. 3.05m @ 1205 ppm Li from 27.4m, and • 11.2m @ 1006 ppm Li from 33.6m The five remaining holes intersected coarse gravel and conglomerate (interpreted to be younger sediments overlying the lithium prospective unit) with only minor lithium mineralisation noted. In light of the encouraging results from hole CND012 Jindalee pegged additional claims at Clayton North and is currently planning future exploration activities at the prospect. AUSTRALIAN PROJECTS 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 five years in this premier mining district (Figure 4) with a combination of granted tenements and tenement applications where, in most cases, Jindalee is the sole applicant. The Widgiemooltha project is prospective for nickel, gold 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 (Indicated and Inferred resource of 1.53Mt @ 4.0% Ni11) • south of Astral Resources’ (ASX: AAR) Mandilla gold deposit (Indicated and Inferred resource of 24Mt @ 1.0g/t Au for 0.78Moz12 • north of Essential Metals’ (ASX:ESS) Dome North LCT pegmatite deposit (Indicated and Inferred resource of 11.2Mt @ 1.21% Li2O13 foot note: The primary technical focus for the Widgiemooltha project during the year was a project wide assessment of nickel, gold and lithium prospectivity utilising the extensive exploration dataset generated from decades of gold and nickel exploration in the district.

The region is prospective for nickel and lithium, with numerous pegmatite intrusions identified in historic workings and drilling. During the year a comprehensive data compilation and historic data review was completed. This work identified significant further opportunity for the discovery of both nickel sulphide and LCT pegmatite mineralisation. The compiled data was used to design scout drilling program targeting nickel sulphide mineralisation on E 63/1981 and E 63/2088. A POW for drilling was lodged and approved for the proposed drilling. Preparation for drilling including Heritage survey requirements and flora and fauna surveys are well advanced and it is anticipated that these land access requirements will be satisfied by the end of CY22. LCT potential is underpinned by the extensive pegmatites intercepted in historical drilling. A review of the LCT pegmatite focussed drill holes has identified geochemistry that indicates encouraging pegmatite fractionation trends which require further technical work. OTHER ASSETS JOINT VENTURES and NON-MANAGED PROJECTS Prospect Ridge (Jindalee 30%, GWR 70%) On 27 January 2022 the Company announced that it had sold a 70% interest in Prospect Ridge to GWR Resources (ASX: GWR) for $1M, comprising $0.25M cash and $0.75M in GWR shares16. Jindalee’s 30% interest is free carried to Decision to Mine and GWR is required to spend a minimum of $2M and complete a Scoping Study within 5 years or GWR’s 70% interest in the Project reverts to Jindalee. On 3 May 2022 GWR detailed plans to accelerate progress at Prospect Ridge, the first of which is a 7,350m RC drill program designed to infill the Arthur River deposit to a drill spacing of approximately 50m x 50m. The aim of the drill program is to increase the size and resource classification of the deposit and obtain sample material for metallurgical test work and potential offtake partners17. Odessa Minerals Limited (Jindalee 10%, Odessa 90%) In 2021 Jindalee sold a 90% interest in the Aries Diamond Project to OD3, the precursor to Odessa Minerals, with Jindalee free carried to completion of a successful Pre- Feasibility Study (PFS) or Decision to Mine. During the period, Odessa announced its drilling and bulk sampling plans at Aries18. A close spaced drilling program is planned to test the total footprint of the kimberlite diamond complex. The samples will analysed for microdiamond counts which will guide the location of bulk sampling sites in the future. Leinster Projects (Jindalee 100%, Auroch earning 70%) Auroch Minerals (ASX: AOU) is earning 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. 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 an option for the sale of 80% of the Forrestania project to Forrestania Resources Pty Ltd (ASX: FRS) and granted Great Western Exploration (ASX: GTE) an option to earn up to 80% in E53/2129 (Joyners). In addition Jindalee entered into a farm-in agreement with Sabre Resources (ASX: SBR) to earn up to 80% in the Sherlock project19. INDIRECT INTERESTS Energy Metals Limited (Jindalee 5.3% of issued capital) Jindalee holds approximately 11 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. Jindalee sold approximately 2 million EME shares during the period for gross proceeds of approximately $544K. 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. A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 2 2 I Page 9 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 CORPORATE OUTLOOK On 14 July 2022 Jindalee provided an update on the proposed separation of the Company’s Australian assets into a new listed vehicle to be known as Dynamic Metals Limited (“Dynamic”) and will be led by current Jindalee CEO Karen Wellman, who will be Dynamic’s Managing Director20. Preparation for the formation of Dynamic and the separation of Jindalee’s Australian assets is continuing. However, in light of the recent deterioration in market sentiment towards junior resource listings, the Board intends to delay implementation of the separation until conditions are more conducive to a stand-alone listing of Dynamic (presently expected to be in the second half of the 2023 financial year). Further, having regard to both market conditions and regulatory feedback regarding the structure of the transaction, the separation of Dynamic is now likely to be implemented by way of an initial public offering (IPO) of securities in Dynamic, with a pro-rata priority entitlement to existing Jindalee shareholders, and with any shares not taken up to form a shortfall offer. During the year, Brett Marsh was appointed VP Geology and Development of Jindalee’s US subsidiary HiTech Minerals Inc., to manage the Company’s lithium assets in the United States. Brett is based in the US and is an AIPG Certified Professional Geologist and registered member with Society for Mining, Metallurgy and Exploration with over 25 years of diverse mining and geological experience. In July 2022 Jindalee shares commenced trading on the OTCQX market in the US. Trading on the OTCQX is expected over time to enhance the Company’s visibility and accessibility to the extensive market of North American retail, high net worth and institutional investors21. Jindalee’s inclusion on the OTCQX platform will enable trading of Jindalee’s securities in the local (US) time zone, and trading and settlement in US Dollars with no exchange rate risk or additional FX fees to US investors. The OTCQX share is the same class of Ordinary Share as ASX traded stock (ASX: JRL), with Jindalee’s primary listing continuing to be the ASX. Early August 2022 Jindalee announced the appointment of highly experience lithium industry executive Darren Wates to the Jindalee Board following Trish Farr’s retirement as a director22. Darren has over 12 years’ experience with Australian lithium industry pioneer Neometals Ltd where he currently serves as consulting general counsel through specialist corporate and commercial law firm Corpex Legal of which Mr Wates is the founder and principal. Page 10 I A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 2 2 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 and securing new opportunities in Tier 1 jurisdictions. Jindalee currently has 57.4M shares on issue with cash and marketable securities at 30 June 2022 of approximately $10.8M1. This provides a strong base for advancing projects currently held by the Company and leveraging into new opportunities.

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: Lindsay Dudfield Justin Mannolini Darren Wates – appointed 3 August 2022 Patricia Farr – retired 3 August 2022 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 2022 was $1,446,131 (2021: loss $504,303). 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 infill and extend the Indicated and Inferred mineral resource estimate (MRE) announced in April 20211 (Table 1), metallurgical testwork to optimise processing options and baseline studies to further derisk the Project. The Company also increased its ground position in the Widgiemooltha area and acquired other projects in Western Australia. McDermitt Six Reverse Circulation (RC) holes and six diamond holes were drilled at the McDermitt Project during the period, with substantial thicknesses of lithium mineralisation intersected in all holes, and in July 2022 Jindalee announced a combined Indicated and Inferred MRE at McDermitt of 1.82Bt at an average grade of 1370 ppm Li for a total of 13.3Mt Lithium Carbonate Equivalent (LCE), using a cut-off grade of 1000 ppm Li1. The 2022 MRE represents an overall increase (from 2021) in tonnage of 25%, with a 3% increase in grade for a 28% increase in contained lithium. Importantly, the contained lithium in the higher confidence Indicated category increased from 1.8Mt LCE to 4.8Mt LCE (Table 1)2. 2021 Mineral Resource 2022 Mineral Resource % Difference Tonnage (Mt) Li Grade (ppm) LCE (Mt) Tonnage (Mt) Li Grade (ppm) LCE (Mt) Tonnage (Mt) Li Grade (ppm) Indicated Resource Inferred Resource Total 233 1,200 1,430 1,430 1,300 1,320 1.8 8.3 10.1 616 1,200 1,820 1,460 1,310 1,370 4.8 8.4 13.3 165% -2% 25% 2% 0% 3% LCE (Mt) 170% -1% 28% Table 1 – Comparison of 2021 and 2022 McDermitt Mineral Resource Estimates at the reporting cut-off of 1000ppm Li.

During the year Jindalee commenced metallurgical studies on a 200kg sample of McDermitt ore to assess if sulphation roasting is a viable alternative processing option to acid leaching, with first results expected September 2022. Early stage permitting activities, including environmental baseline studies, were commissioned in February 2022 and further infill and extensional drilling commenced in July 2022. Australia During the year Jindalee added to its existing ground position in the Widgiemooltha area of Western Australia (WA) and pegged additional prospective tenements in WA. The Company continued to divest non-core assets during the year, including the sale of a 70% interest in the Prospect Ridge magnesite project (Tasmania)3. At Widgiemooltha, the Company drill tested a conceptual gold target at the Chalice prospect4 and advanced nickel and lithium targets for initial drill testing in the December 2022 quarter5. In July 2022, Jindalee provided an update on the proposed separation of the Company’s Australian assets into a new listed vehicle called Dynamic Metals Limited6. It is likely that, subject to favourable market conditions and regulatory approvals, Dynamic will list on ASX in 2023 following an initial public offering (IPO) with a pro-rata priority entitlement to Jindalee shareholders. Impact of COVID-19 The Group continues to monitor the ongoing and 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 in line with government health directives 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 $664,771 from $17,606,588 at 30 June 2021 to $18,270,359 at 30 June 2022, principally due to raising $1,726,314 (after costs) from the issue of shares during the year net of the Group’s loss for the year of $1,446,131. The Directors believe the Group is in a sound financial position to continue its exploration endeavours.

The Board considers that due to the Group’s size, an Audit Committee’s functions and responsibilities can be adequately and efficiently discharged by the Board as a whole, operating in accordance with the Group’s mechanisms designed to ensure independent judgement in decision making. Retirement, election and continuation in office of directors Mr Darren Wates and Mr Justin Mannolini are the directors seeking election at the Company’s 2022 Annual General Meeting. AUDITED REMUNERATION REPORT The Directors are pleased to present Jindalee Resources Limited 2022 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 2021 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 (retired as Executive Director on 3 August 2022) K Wellman Chief Executive Officer For further details on each director see pages 15-16. (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. A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 2 2 I Page 17 ABN 52 064 121 133ANNUAL REPORT 2017 D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T Independent external advice is sought from remuneration consultants when required, however no advice has been sought during the year ended 30 June 2022. 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 (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 2018 $0.28 2019 $0.39 2020 $0.32 2021 $2.50 2022 $2.99 Market Capitalisation $9.77M $13.65M $12.4M $133.5M $171.6M Dividends (cents per share) – – – – – (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.

A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 2 2 I Page 27 ABN 52 064 121 133ANNUAL REPORT 2017 1. CORPORATION INFORMATION These financial statements of Jindalee Resources Limited for the year ended 30 June 2022 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of directors on 21 September 2022. 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 of 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 2021, 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. Accounting policies have been consistently applied throughout the year. 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 2022 and the comparative information. Page 28 I A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 2 2 ABN 52 064 121 133ANNUAL REPORT 2017 NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATEDFINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued (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 2022 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. (g) Revenue Recognition Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets. A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 2 2 I Page 29 ABN 52 064 121 133ANNUAL REPORT 2017 NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATEDFINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued 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. impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the As assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised 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: 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: Page 30 I A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 2 2 ABN 52 064 121 133ANNUAL REPORT 2017 NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATEDFINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued – – 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 Share based payments 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. (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. A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 2 2 I Page 31 ABN 52 064 121 133ANNUAL REPORT 2017 NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATEDFINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued 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 (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. Classification of held-for-sale An entity shall classify a non-current asset (or disposal group) as held for sale if its carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. For this to be the case, the asset (or disposal group) must be available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets (or disposal groups) and its sale must be highly probable. Management judgement is applied in the determination and assessment of highly probable. As at 30 June 2022, management determined the proposed separation of the Australian assets did not meet the definition of a highly probable transaction at reporting date due to the early stage of the proposed transaction which is still undergoing due diligence by the Company. (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 either classified as held for 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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued 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. Available-for-sale investments Available-for-sale investment assets, comprising principally marketable equity securities, are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the reporting date. Investments are designated as available-for-sale if they do not have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments and management intends to hold them for the medium to long term. 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 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. When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised in equity are included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as gains and losses from investment securities. Subsequent measurement Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Available-for-sale financial assets are subsequently carried at fair value. Gains on available-for-sale investments assets are recognised in other comprehensive income. Details on how the fair value of financial instruments is determined is disclosed in Notes 19 and 22. (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 Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Group as lessee are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. 3. 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.

TAXATION continued Jindalee Resources Limited has group carried forward revenue tax losses of $6,847,881 as at 30 June 2022 and carried forward capital losses of $691,310. Jindalee Resources Limited is considered a base rate entity for income tax purposes and is therefore subject to income tax at a rate of 25% (2021: 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. 6.

No trade receivables were past due or impaired as at 30 June 2022 (2021: 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.

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. (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.

The weighted average interest rate on cash holdings was 0.68% at 30 June 2022 (2021: 0.90%). 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 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. 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/(loss) 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. Impact on profit and equity Increase of 10% Decrease of -10% 2022 $ 4,457 (4,457) 2021 $ 2,475 (2,475) A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 2 2 I Page 43 ABN 52 064 121 133ANNUAL REPORT 2017 NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATEDFINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 19. FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT continued (f) Price Risk The Group is exposed to equity securities price risk. 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 2022 $ 2021 $ 190,284 (190,284) 286,284 (286,284) 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. (h) Fair Values The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are as follows: Consolidated Financial Assets Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Non-current deposits Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss Total Financial Assets Financial Liabilities Trade and other payables Tax payable Lease liabilities Total Financial Liabilities 2022 $ 2021 $ 8,690,940 10,158,652 46,122 62,827 1,902,844 10,702,733 372,141 208,551 – 580,692 265,474 62,268 3,084,023 13,570,417 114,569 – 74,788 189,357 The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments are outlined below: Cash The carrying amount is fair value due to the liquid nature of these assets.

FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT continued 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. Tenements Subject to Option The Group has entered into the following agreements: A grant to Eon NRG Limited (Eon) of an option to acquire an 80% interest in E15/1909, E51/1946, P51/3145, P51/3146 and P51/3147 for $30,000 in cash and shares to the value of $150,000 in a future listed entity related to Eon. The agreement allows for further dilution post BFS under a joint venture arrangement Other than the above, there has been no change in contingent liabilities, contingent assets or commitments since the last annual reporting date, 30 June 2021. There are no other contingencies of the Group at balance date. 21. COMMITMENTS Capital Commitments There are no capital expenditure commitments for the Group as at 30 June 2022 (30 June 2021: Nil) 22. 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: A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 2 2 I Page 45 ABN 52 064 121 133ANNUAL REPORT 2017 NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATEDFINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 22.

Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

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.
