It has certainly been a difficult year for all. This time last year, we were embarking on an unprecedented global humanitarian and economic crisis. To say that Jupiter, and Tshipi, have fared well is an understatement when many businesses suffered. As the overall wellness of its employees and contractors is paramount, Tshipi has employed several resources in response to COVID-19 pandemic. Whilst the manganese price remined depressed over the year, Tshipi continued to be the enterprising operation it is, by adjusting targets in light of reduced and altered logistics availability. Tshipi remained profitable throughout the pandemic, exporting 3.4 million tonnes and paying dividends to shareholders of just over ZAR 1.43 billion. I applaud the efforts of the management teams on the ground. Jupiter remained cautious at the beginning of the financial year, however declared total dividends of $59 million, an average yield of 10%. In the midst of increasing iron ore prices and restricted supply, the Jupiter Board embarked on a demerger of its Central Yilgarn Iron Project, into new company, Juno Minerals. Jupiter shareholders received an in-specie distribution of shares in Juno, and Juno listed on the ASX earlier this month. With the spin-out of Juno now complete, Jupiter moves forward as a pure play manganese company, with a focus on the expansion of the Tshipi mine and consolidation within the Kalahari manganese region. I again thank all shareholders for your continued support of Jupiter. Yours Faithfully, Brian Gilbertson Chairman 2 Jupiter Mines Limited w e i v e R L A c n A n i F i d n A g n i t A R e p O Operating and Financial Review Jupiter Mines Limited (“Jupiter” or the “Company”) has an interest in two areas: a 49.9% share in Tshipi é Ntle Manganese Mining (Proprietary) Limited (“Tshipi”), which operates the Tshipi Borwa Manganese mine (“Tshipi Borwa”) in South Africa; and in Australia, the Central Yilgarn Iron Project (“CYIP”), which includes the Mount Ida Magnetite Project (“Mount Ida”) and Mount Mason Hematite Project (“Mount Mason”). tSHipi BORwA MAngAneSe Mine The Tshipi Borwa mine is an open-pit manganese mine with an integrated ore processing plant located in the Kalahari Manganese Fields, in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa, which is the largest manganese bearing geological formation in the world. Tshipi remains the largest manganese mine in South Africa and one of the five largest globally, with a long-life resource and low operating costs. Figure 1. Tshipi Manganese Mine Location Map / Annual Report 2021 3 w e i v e R l a i c n a n i F d n a g n i t a r e p O Despite a challenging year due to mining and COVID-19 related restrictions, Tshipi exported 3.417 million tonnes (FY2020: 3.408 million tonnes), the second highest exports recorded by Tshipi. Mined volume Production Sales Unit Bcm Tonnes Tonnes Average Cost, Insurance & Freight (“CIF”) price achieved (high grade lumpy) CIF, USD/dmtu Average cost of production Average cost of production FOB, ZAR/dmtu FOB, USD/dmtu FY2021 FY2020 12,014,820 12,357,691 3,352,146 3,410,111 3,417,585 3,408,552 4.19 33.80 2.05 4.86 31.22 2.14 During the year, Tshipi experienced mining challenges due to difficulty in cuts, delayed fleet mobilisation, excessive rainfall and the South African COVID-19 lockdown. However, Tshipi completed FY2021 above adjusted targeted production with 3.353 million tonnes (FY2020: 3.410 million tonnes). Manganese prices remained depressed over the year, averaging US$3.83 (per dmtu, Metal Bulletin 37% Free on Board (“FOB”) Port Elizabeth) (FY2020: US$4.18) due to the uncertainty around the COVID-19 pandemic and reduced industrial activity in China. Tshipi however remained profit and cash positive throughout the year and declared and paid dividends of ZAR1.43 billion (FY2020: ZAR2.015 billion). tSHipi enviROnMentAL, SOciAL & gOveRnAnce RepORt Tshipi continues with its commitment to sustainable development and continual improvement to minimise the impact on the environment and providing lasting benefits to the surrounding communities. Tshipi places strong emphasis on worker health and safety, and management of environmental risks by developing and implementing systems and processes. Environment Legal Compliance and Strategy Alignment The Department of Water and Sanitation granted Tshipi the amended Water Use Licence (“WUL”) on 5 November 2020, which authorised the increased footprint of the Northern Waste Rock Dump, merging of Eastern Dump and Mamatwan Sinterfontein Dump, expansion of the Western Waste Rock Dump, relocated Storm water Dam, increase of dewatering volumes from the pit and the two new abstraction boreholes. Tshipi’s Environmental Management Plan (“EMP”) Amendment Application that was submitted to the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (“DMRE”) on 2 October 2019, that sought to review its commitment to completely backfill the pit and leave a pit lake in the northern section of the mine (EMP3 Application), was rejected by the DMRE on 13 October 2020 giving the following reasons: ƒ The Closure objectives will not be sustainable since half of the pit will be left opened and partially rehabilitated; ƒ Amendments will result in an increase in the footprint of the mine dumps; 4 ƒ Amendments will have negative environmental impacts and pose danger in terms of health and safety; ƒ Current approved EMP commitment does not have financial implication after closure; ƒ Proposed Amendments does not make sound environmental, socio-economic and technical sense. to Tshipi has submitted an Appeal Application the Department of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries (“DEFF”) on 10 November 2020. The Appeal Application decision was delayed by three months with the DMRE only submitting their responding statement on 1 March 2021 with a request for condonation of its late filing. In order not to delay the process further, Tshipi decided not to object against the DMRE’s condonation request. On 11 March 2021, the Minister of DEFF granted the condonation request. Tshipi will continue with its option analysis pending the outcome of the appeal decision. Water management Tshipi has expanded its onsite catchment capacity in terms of water storage dams from 39,000m3 to 91,000m3 with the operationalisation of the new stormwater dam. The new 52,000m3 stormwater dam increases Tshipi’s capacity to capture water during the rainy months and cater for a one in fifty-year flood event. From an operational point of view, priority is given to reusing dirty water, and 75,681m3 was available during FY2021 for collection in the dirty water dams and for use for dust suppression of roads and in the processing plant, decreasing the use of fresh potable water from Sedibeng, the potable water service provider. The sewage system was upgraded to ensure effective cleaning and purification of grey water that was recycled back to the dirty water dams. Solid waste management The focus on efficient waste management practises has contributed to reducing the volumes of offsite hazardous waste disposal and the use of the bioremediation facility is progressing. Biodiversity Offset Project The establishment of a Biodiversity Offset as required by the National Environmental Management Act (“NEMA”) is ongoing and Tshipi has identified three properties for further engagement with the landowners. The FY2022 Biodiversity Offset Project objectives are to conclude the land purchase transaction and biodiversity offset declaration process and also investigate the inclusion of Creative Social Initiatives to develop a sustainable management solution for the declared Biodiversity Offset. Jupiter Mines Limited w e i v e R l a i c n a n i F d n a g n i t a r e p O Safety Tshipi recorded 2 lost time injuries (“LTIs”) during FY2021 and none for FY2022 to date. Although injury indices for all indicators trended below the thresholds, Tshipi commenced with the implementation of systematic processes to create an Enabling Work Environment by addressing its safety culture, strengthening workplace controls, systems and processes, formalising the Tshipi Wellness Plan and integrating with all stakeholders to ensure a multifaceted approach to safety challenges. To achieve a shift from focus on lagging to leading indicators and achieve real risk reduction, the following areas of which work has already commenced in the last quarter of FY2021, has been identified for detailed implementation in FY2022: ƒ Tshipi Wellness Plan including hygiene measures; ƒ Workplace Control; ƒ Standards, Process and Competencies; ƒ Safety Culture; and ƒ Management Systems.

Tshipi augmented the onsite health service with further capacity in terms of full- time screening staff and resources, which assisted greatly in containing the spread of COVID-19 when Tshipi recorded its first case on 13 July 2020. A Moolmans employee sadly passed away on 12 May 2021. The cause of death on the certificate was due to natural death, however subsequently a positive COVID-19 test result was received. Tshipi continues to provide free onsite medical screening and health care for all employees, including Contractors. Through the Wellness section and the Memorandum of Understanding with the Department of Health, the clinic provides medication and long-term treatment for Diabetes, Hypertension, Asthma, Epilepsy and HIV and Aids, and has recorded an uptake of 81% of employees that were impacted by health issues. Tshipi has also employed a Dietician on a part-time basis to address the underlying causes of employee health issues and 61% of impacted employees are making use of this service. The Clinic has conducted 2,600 medical screenings during FY2021, of which the only abnormalities, recorded at 3%, were associated with pre-employment offsite hearing loss. Health incidents are trending in the right direction, confirming that the strategy is yielding the intended benefits to employees and the operation at large. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Tshipi continues maintaining a rigorous screening process and testing program for those employees who fulfil the criteria for testing, and enforcement of onsite and offsite preventative behaviour campaign as its highest control against the spread of COVID-19. In addition to the onboarding of COVID-19 Medical Screening staff to conduct daily screening of all employees, COVID Compliance Coordinators have also been onboarded to conduct continuous compliance monitoring and awareness communication of critical COVID-19 Controls. Tshipi has also introduced Antigen rapid testing to enable a quick response to COVID-19 suspected cases. Tshipi has taken action in preparation for the Governmental roll out of COVID-19 vaccines but is however cautiously assessing the potential legal risks associated with Tshipi’s registration and operation of a vaccination site especially in the absence of guidance from legislation and regulator. Social Economic Development Tshipi’s Corporate Social Responsibility (“CSR”) standing and trend is satisfactory and embeds its belief in transformation and sustainable development. Tshipi is compliant with all CSR legislation and regulations and this ensures that it continues to secure its social license to operate. Overview of achievements for this reporting period: ƒ A black ownership exceeding the minimum threshold maintained; ƒ A workforce comprising of more than 91% Historically Disadvantaged South Africans (“HDSA”); ƒ Invested in training initiatives for HDSA learners, artisans, apprentices, scholars and employees as committed in Tshipi’s social labour plans; ƒ Continues with initiatives to divert spend on procuring goods and services to BEE compliant, Black Women Owned, Black Youth Owned and HDSA Owned companies as per commitments with the regulator; ƒ Completed projects to refurbish school and providing access to water and ablution facilities for school children as well as purchasing of school furniture; ƒ Contributed towards food security (food parcels) in support of the local Mayor’s initiative over December 2020. ƒ Tshipi is compliant with the Mining Charter for an audit period of FY2021. Tshipi achieved Level 2 on scorecard elements (Human Resources Development, Employment Equity and Inclusive Procurement, Supplier and Enterprise Development. Tshipi is fully compliant on all ring-fenced elements (Ownership, Housing and Living Condition, and Mine Community Development); ƒ Tshipi has signed a 3-year wage agreement with the Trade Union on 15 May 2020. The agreement covers the period from FY2021 until FY2023; and ƒ Tshipi has created an Enterprise and Supplier Development Fund. Creating a Social Fund has allowed Tshipi to proactively respond to the BBBEE Codes and Mining Charter requirements. The Fund will support and invest in supply chain and value chain initiatives mainly but also Social Labour Plan initiatives. The Fund will provide financial and non-financial support in partnership with implementation partners where necessary. Tshipi’s achievements show how it has used its business success to benefit the environment, economy and tackle social issues. 6 Jupiter Mines Limited w e i v e R l a i c n a n i F d n a g n i t a r e p O tSHipi FinAnciAL SUMMARY Set out below is a summary of Tshipi’s audited Statement of Consolidated Profit or Loss and Statement of Financial Position: ZAR’000 INCOME STATEMENT: Revenue Cost of goods sold Gross margin Other income Administrative expenses Impairment of property, plant and equipment / loss on derecognition Other operating expenses Operating profit Finance income Finance expenses Profit before royalties and taxation Royalties Profit before taxation Taxation Profit after taxation BALANCE SHEET: Current assets Royalties prepaid Inventory Trade and other receivables Cash and cash equivalents Contract fulfilment cost assets Contract assets Total current assets Non-current assets Property, plant and equipment Mineral rights Other financial assets Right of use assets Total non-current assets Total assets Current liabilities Tax payable Trade and other payables Contract liabilities Lease liability Total current liabilities / Annual Report 2021 Year Ended 28 February 2021 Year Ended 29 February 2020 7,499,317 8,022,631 (5,163,380) (5,060,864) 2,335,937 2,961,767 5,583 (13,563) (5,428) (20,867) 7,033 (12,796) 1,588 (24,497) 2,301,662 2,933,096 53,668 (24,874) 179,260 (3,811) 2,330,456 3,108,545 (298,923) (359,548) 2,031,533 2,748,997 (568,758) (772,966) 1,462,775 1,976,031 739 266,841 1,092,085 512,289 113,099 72,994 79 303,556 676,882 1,111,257 62,993 76,934 2,058,047 2,231,701 2,576,692 2,346,743 173,545 38,385 21,833 178,022 37,796 - 2,810,455 2,562,561 4,868,502 4,794,262 14,787 565,321 113,099 6,271 699,478 18,475 417,016 62,993 - 498,484 7 w e i v e R l a i c n a n i F d n a g n i t a r e p O ZAR’000 Non-current liabilities Decommissioning and rehabilitation provision Deferred tax Lease liability Total non-current liabilities Total liabilities Equity Share capital and share premium Retained earnings Contributed assets reserve Total equity Total equity and liabilities Year Ended 28 February 2021 Year Ended 29 February 2020 80,751 671,578 21,162 773,491 51,570 616,450 - 668,020 1,472,969 1,166,504 321,359 321,359 2,957,213 3,189,438 116,961 116,961 3,395,533 3,627,758 4,868,502 4,794,262 MAngAneSe MARKeting Jupiter continued its operations in South Africa (“Jupiter SA”) as an agent marketing its 49.9% share of Tshipi manganese ore. For the financial year to 28 February 2021, Jupiter SA recorded marketing fee income of $8,202,796 (2020: $10,358,857). Manganese prices remained depressed over the year, owing mainly to the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. Chinese port stocks also remained high towards the end of the 2020 calendar year. For FY2022, it is expected that demand for manganese ore will be strong in light of many countries such as the United States initiating large infrastructure investment post-pandemic. u t m d / D S U 7.20 6.20 5.20 4.20 3.20 2.20 1.20 8 1 0 2 r a M 8 1 0 2 n u J 8 1 0 2 p e S 8 1 0 2 c e D 9 1 0 2 r a M 9 1 0 2 n u J 9 1 0 2 p e S 9 1 0 2 c e D 0 2 0 2 r a M 0 2 0 2 n u J 0 2 0 2 p e S Source: Metal Bulletin Figure 2: Manganese prices March 2018 to May 2021 – 37% FOB Port Elizabeth 8 Jupiter Mines Limited w e i v e R l a i c n a n i F d n a g n i t a r e p O centRAL YiLgARn iROn pROJectS The Central Yilgarn Iron Project is located 130km by road northwest of the town of Menzies. The CYIP consists of the long-life Mount Ida Magnetite project and the smaller Mount Mason Hematite DSO project. Both projects are planned around existing infrastructure in the region, including the Leonora to Esperance railway line, and the Port of Esperance. The flagship Mount Ida Magnetite Project has the high quality JORC mineral resources to be a tier one long-life magnetite mine. The Mount Mason high-grade hematite mineralisation is located approximately 12km northwest of the Mount Ida Magnetite Project. It has the potential to be a low-cost start- up, near term project with a short payback period. In October 2020, Jupiter announced its intention to demerger the CYIP assets into a new company, Juno Minerals Limited (“Juno”). Juno would also apply to be listed on the ASX with the focus of developing the Mount Mason project in the near- term. The Mining Assets Sale and Purchase Agreement was completed in January 2021, and the demerger was finalised in early May. Figure 3.

Priyank Thapliyal Guernsey 27 May 2021 2 2 Jupiter Mines Limited t r o p e R n o i t a r e n u m e R Remuneration Report Letter f rom Remuneration and Nomination Committee Chairman Dear Shareholders On behalf of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee (“RemCom”), I am pleased to present the 2021 Remuneration Report for Jupiter Mines Limited. The 2021 financial year certainly presented a number of challenges. It is under such difficult times that boards and management are tested, and their worth, as shown in this Remuneration Report, is evidenced. Against this challenging backdrop, the Tshipi and Jupiter Board and Management have continued to deliver as promised during the 2018 IPO: 1. Continued double digit dividend yields and payout ratio of significantly over the 70% stated amount; 2. Optimisation of Jupiter’s portfolio via the demerger of Juno Minerals; 3. Expansion of Tshipi’s operation and 4. Cost optimisation of via additional rail transport channels and the barrier pillar agreement. Jupiter’s RemCom has again this year measured Management’s remuneration against shareholder expectation, market peers, and the delivery of economic targets. Given the exceptionally good result compared to the potential for economic loss during the year, the RemCom believe the type and amount of remuneration of its key executives to be fair. At last year’s Annual General Meeting, our shareholders again chose to vote significantly against the Remuneration Report, resulting in another “first strike”. Whilst the Rem Com and Board continue to evaluate shareholder concerns, I believe the Board and Management have shown their abilities in navigating troubled waters. I would urge all shareholders and proxy advisors to consider this. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all shareholders for their ongoing support of Jupiter. I recommend this remuneration report to all shareholders and welcome the opportunity to discuss it with you before or during the Annual General Meeting. Yours faithfully Paul Murray Independent Non-Executive Director Chairman, Remuneration and Nomination Committee / Annual Report 2021 2 3 ) d e t i d u A ( t r o p e R n o i t a r e n u m e R Remuneration Report (Audited) the The Directors of Jupiter Mines Limited present Remuneration Report for Non-Executive Directors, Executive Directors and other Key Management Personnel, prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the Corporations Regulations 2001. The Remuneration Report is set out under the following main headings: (a) Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration; (b) Details of remuneration; (c) Service agreements; (d) Share-based remuneration; (e) Bonuses included in remuneration; and (f) Other information. a. principles used to determine remuneration strategy and structure The principles of the Group’s executive strategy and frameworks are: ƒ ƒ ƒ to align rewards to business outcomes that deliver value to shareholders; to drive a high performance culture and rewarding high performing individuals; and to ensure remuneration is competitive in the relevant employment market place to support the attraction, motivation and retention of executive talent. The Board has established a Remuneration and Nomination Committee which operates in accordance with its charter as approved by the Board and is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the Directors and the Executive Team. The remuneration structure that has been adopted by the Group consists of the following components: ƒ fixed remuneration being annual salary; and ƒ short term incentives, being employee bonuses. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee assess the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration on a periodic basis by reference to recent employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality Board and Executive Team. The payment of bonuses and other incentive payments are reviewed by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee annually as part of the review of executive remuneration and a recommendation is put to the Board for approval. All bonuses and incentives must be linked to pre-determined performance criteria. Short Term Incentive (STI) Jupiter performance measures involve the use of annual performance objectives. The performance measures have been set after consultation with the Directors and executives and are specifically tailored to the areas where each executive has a level of control.

End of Audited Remuneration Report 2 8 Jupiter Mines Limited t n e m e t a t S e c n a n r e v o G e t a r o p r o C Corporate Governance Statement 1. Overview The Company’s Board of Directors (Board) is responsible for the overall corporate governance of the Company, and it recognises the need for the highest standards of ethical behaviour and accountability. It is committed to administering its corporate governance structures to promote integrity and responsible decision-making. Accordingly, where appropriate the Company has sought to adopt the ‘Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations’ (Fourth Edition) (ASX Recommendations) published by the ASX Corporate Governance Council. The corporate governance principles and practices adopted by the Company may depart from those generally applicable to ASX- listed companies under ASX Recommendations where the Board considers compliance is not appropriate having regard to the nature and size of the Company’s business and operations. The Company sets out below its “if not why not” report in relation to those matters of corporate governance where the Company’s practice departs from the ASX Recommendations to the extent that they are currently applicable to the Company. This statement is current as at 27 May 2021 and has been approved by the Board. 2. ASX corporate governance principles and Recommendations Principle ASX Recommendation Comply Comments Principle 1 – Lay solid foundations for management and oversight 1.1 A listed entity should have and disclose a board charter setting out: Yes Jupiter has adopted a Board Charter that discloses the role and responsibilities of the Board. (a) the respective roles and responsibilities of its board and management; and (b) those matters expressly reserved to the board and those delegated to management. Under the Board Charter, the Board is responsible for the overall operation and stewardship of the Company and, in particular, is responsible for: ƒ oversight of control and accountability systems; ƒ appointing and removing the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Company Secretary; ƒ approving the annual operating budget; ƒ approving and monitoring the progress of major capital and operating expenditure; ƒ monitoring compliance with all legal and regulatory obligations; ƒ reviewing any risk management system (which may be a series of systems established on a per-project basis); ƒ monitoring any executive officer’s performance; and ƒ approving and monitoring financial and other reporting to the market, shareholders of the Company (Shareholders), employees and other stakeholders. A copy of the Board Charter can be found on the Company’s website. / Annual Report 2021 2 9 t n e m e t a t S e c n a n r e v o G e t a r o p r o C 1.3 1.4 Principle ASX Recommendation Comply Comments 1.2 A listed entity should: Yes (a) undertake appropriate checks before appointing a person, or putting forward to security holders a candidate for election, as a director; and (b) provide security holders with all material information in its possession relevant to a decision on whether or not to elect or re- elect a director. Jupiter conducts background checks of candidates for the position of director of the Company (Director) prior to their appointment or nomination for election by Shareholders, including checks as to good character, experience, education, qualifications, criminal history and bankruptcy. The Company does not propose to conduct specific checks prior to nominating an existing Director for re-election by Shareholders at a general meeting on the basis that each incumbent Director is required to submit to the ASX ‘good fame and character’ assessment during the Company’s admission to the official list of ASX. As a matter of practice, Jupiter includes in its notices of meeting a brief biography and other material information in relation to each Director who stands for election or re-election, including relevant qualifications and professional experience of the nominated Director for consideration by Shareholders. The Company has entered into an employment contract with Priyank Thapliyal, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and Melissa North, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, who are engaged on a full-time basis. The Company has entered into letters of engagement with each of its non-executive Directors setting out the key terms and conditions of their engagement. A listed entity should have a written agreement with each director and senior executive setting out the terms of their appointment. Yes The company secretary of a listed entity should be accountable directly to the board, through the chair, on all matters to do with the proper functioning of the board. Yes The Company Secretary reports directly, and is accountable, to the Board through the Chairman of the Board (Chairman) in relation to all governance matters. The Company Secretary also advises and supports the Board to implement adopted governance procedures and co-ordinates the circulation of meeting agendas and papers. 3 0 Jupiter Mines Limited t n e m e t a t S e c n a n r e v o G e t a r o p r o C Principle ASX Recommendation Comply Comments Given the Company’s main asset is its interest in the Tshipi Borwa Manganese Mine (Tshipi Project), which it holds through its indirect 49.9% interest in Tshipi é Ntle, and Jupiter itself has few employees, Jupiter has not adopted a formal diversity policy at this stage. The Company appointed its first female Director to the Board on 14 March 2019, however this appointed was not approved by shareholders and Ms North was removed from the Board on 29 July 2019. The Company has a policy to select the best available officers and staff for each relevant position in a non- discriminatory manner based on merit. Notwithstanding this, the Board respects and values the benefits that diversity (e.g., gender, age, ethnicity, cultural background, disability and martial/family status etc.) brings in relation to expanding the Company’s perspective and thereby improving corporate performance, increasing Shareholder value and maximising the probability of achieving the Company’s objectives. The Board is committed to developing a diverse workplace where appointments or advancements are made on a fair and equitable basis. 1.5 A listed entity should: No (a) have and disclose a diversity policy (b) through its board or a committee of the board set measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity in the composition of its board, senior executives and workforce generally; and (c) disclose in relation to each reporting period: (i) the measurable objectives set for that period to achieve gender diversity; (ii) the entity’s progress towards achieving those objectives; and (iii) either: (A) the respective proportions of men and women on the board, in senior executive positions and across the whole workforce (including how the entity has defined “senior executive” for these purposes); or (B) if the entity is a “relevant employer” under the Workplace Gender Equality Act, the entity’s most recent “Gender Equality Indicators”, as defined in and published under the Act. (d) disclose as at the end of each reporting period the measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity set by the board or a relevant committee of the board in accordance with the entity’s diversity policy and its progress towards achieving them, and either: (i) the respective proportions of men and women on the board, in senior executive positions and across the whole organisation (including how the entity has defined “senior executive” for these purposes); or (ii) if the entity is a “relevant employer” under the Workplace Gender Equality Act, the entity’s most recent “Gender Equality Indicators”, as defined in and published under that Act. 1.6 A listed entity should: (a) have and disclose a process for periodically evaluating the performance of the board, its committees and individual directors; and (b) disclose for each reporting period whether a performance evaluation was undertaken in the reporting period in accordance with that process. Yes The Remuneration and Nomination Committee is responsible for the evaluation of the Board’s performance and its individual Directors. Jupiter has also adopted in its Board Charter a commitment to review its own performance at intervals considered appropriate by the Chairman. The same performance review mechanism is also present in the Audit Committee and Remuneration and Nomination Committee Charters. Jupiter will continue to disclose if and when it has conducted any performance evaluations. / Annual Report 2021 3 1 t n e m e t a t S e c n a n r e v o G e t a r o p r o C Principle ASX Recommendation Comply Comments 1.7 A listed entity should: (a) have and disclose a process for periodically evaluating the performance of its senior executives at least once every reporting period; and (b) disclose for each reporting period whether a performance evaluation was undertaken in the reporting period in accordance with that process. Yes The Board is responsible for monitoring the performance of executive officers. The Board has established policies to ensure that Jupiter remunerates fairly and responsibly. The Company designed its remuneration policy to ensure that the level and composition of remuneration is competitive, reasonable and appropriate to attract and maintain Directors with the requisite skills and experience to guide the Company towards achieving its objectives. Jupiter will continue to disclose if and when it has conducted any performance evaluations. Principle 2 – Structure the board to be effective and add value 2.1 The board of a listed entity should: (a) have a nomination committee which: Yes The Board has established a Remuneration and Nomination Committee (RN Committee). The RN Committee Charter discloses the RN Committee’s role and responsibilities. The RN Committee presently consists of Paul Murray, Andrew Bell and Brian Gilbertson. All members are independent and non-executive. Mr Murray is the chairman of the RN Committee. Jupiter will continue to disclose at the end of each reporting period the number of times the RN Committee met throughout the relevant period. The RN Committee Charter is available on Jupiter’s website at www.jupitermines.com/about-us/corporate-governance (i) has at least three members, a majority of whom are independent directors; and (ii) is chaired by an independent director, and disclose: (iii) the charter of the committee; (iv) the members of the committee; and (v) as at the end of each reporting period, the number of times the committee met throughout the period and the individual attendances of the members at those meetings; or (b) if it does not have a nomination committee, disclose that fact and the processes it employs to address board succession issues and to ensure that the board has the appropriate balance of skills, knowledge, experience, independence and diversity to enable it to discharge its duties and responsibilities effectively. 2.2 A listed entity should have and disclose a board skills matrix setting out the mix of skills that the board currently has or is looking to achieve in its membership. No Jupiter does not currently have a skills or diversity matrix in relation to its Board members. The Board considers that such a matrix is not necessary given the current state of operations. The RN Committee is presently responsible for ensuring the Directors have the appropriate mix of competencies to enable the Board to discharge its responsibilities effectively. The Board may adopt such a matrix later as the Company’s operations evolve. 3 2 Jupiter Mines Limited t n e m e t a t S e c n a n r e v o G e t a r o p r o C Principle ASX Recommendation Comply Comments 2.3 A listed entity should disclose: Yes (a) the names of the directors considered by the board to be independent directors; (b) if the director has an interest, position or relationship of the type described in Box 2.3 but the board is of the opinion that is does not compromise the independence of the director, the nature of interest, position or relationship in question and an explanation of why the board is of that opinion; and (c) the length of service of each director. 2.4 A majority of the board of a listed entity should be independent directors. No The Board considers that Mr Paul Murray, Mr Andrew Bell and Mr Brian Gilbertson are independent Directors because they are free from any business or other relationship with the Company that could materially interfere with, or reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with, the independent exercise of their judgement as Directors. The Company appointed Mr Murray as a Director on 20 August 2003, Mr Bell as a Director on 19 May 2008 and Mr Gilbertson as a Director on 22 June 2010. A majority of the Board are not independent Directors. Three of the Board’s six Directors, being Mr Paul Murray, Mr Andrew Bell and Mr Gilbertson are considered independent. The Company does not consider Mr Yeongjin Heo independent because he is the managing director of POSCO Australia Pty Ltd, a significant shareholder of Jupiter. The Company does not consider Mr Priyank Thapliyal independent because Jupiter employs him in an executive capacity, as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The Company does not consider Mr Hans Mende or Mr Brian Beem independent because of their association with AMCI Group LLC, a significant shareholder of Jupiter. The Company believes that the current structure of the Board is the most appropriate given the size and current operations of the Company. 2.5 The chair of the board of a listed entity should be an independent director and, in particular, should not be the same person as the CEO of the entity. Yes The Chairman, Mr Brian Gilbertson, is an independent Director. Mr Priyank Thapliyal is the Chief Executive Officer and is not the Chairman. / Annual Report 2021 3 3 t n e m e t a t S e c n a n r e v o G e t a r o p r o C Principle ASX Recommendation Comply Comments 2.6 A listed entity should have a program for inducting new directors and for periodically reviewing whether there is a need for existing directors to undertake professional development to maintain the skills and knowledge needed to perform their role as directors effectively. Yes Induction program When a Director is appointed, they receive with their appointment letter a copy of the Company’s constitution, corporate governance policies and charters. The contents of this due diligence pack contain sufficient information to allow the new Director to gain an understanding of the rights, duties, responsibilities and role of the Board, Board committees and the executive team. The Company Secretary arranges for new Directors to undertake an induction program to enable them to gain an understanding of: ƒ ƒ ƒ the Company’s operations and the industry sectors in which it operates; the Company’s financial, strategic, operational and risk management position; their rights, duties and responsibilities; and ƒ any other relevant information. As part of this induction program, a new Director will meet with all incumbent Directors (if this has not already taken place). Director development In order to achieve continuing improvement in Board performance, all Directors are encouraged to undergo continual professional development. Principle 3 – Instil a Culture of Acting Lawfully, Ethically and Responsibly 3.1 A listed entity should articulate and disclose its values. 3.2 A listed entity should: (a) have a code of conduct for its directors, senior executives and employees; and (b) ensure that the board or a committee of the board is informed of any material breaches of that code. Yes Jupiter Mines instils the below values: To be bold in its industry area, act with integrity, be honest and respectful to our people, stakeholders and the environment. Yes The Board believes that the success of Jupiter has been, and will continue to be, enhanced by a strong ethical culture within the organisation. Jupiter has a Code of Conduct and Ethics (Code) which sets the standards that all Directors, officers, employees, consultants and contractors and all other people representing the Company are expected to comply with in relation to all commercial operations. The Code also outlines the procedure for reporting any breaches of the Code and the possible disciplinary action the Company may take in respect of any breaches. In addition to their obligations under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Corporations Act) in relation to inside information, all Directors, employees and consultants have a duty of confidentiality to Jupiter in relation to confidential information they possess. In fulfilling their duties, each Director dealing with corporate governance matters may obtain independent professional advice at Jupiter’s expense after consultation with the Chairman. The Company ensures that all incumbent and new personnel have a copy of the Code. It is also available on the Company’s website. 3 4 Jupiter Mines Limited t n e m e t a t S e c n a n r e v o G e t a r o p r o C Principle ASX Recommendation Comply Comments The Company has a Whistleblower Policy, available on the Company’s website, which demonstrates the Company’s commitment to promote a culture of ethical corporate behaviour. The Company has an Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy, available on the Company’s website. The Policy outlines the Company’s commitment to fair and legal business practices, anti-bribery and corruption. Any material incidents related to Bribery or Corruption will be reported to the Audit Committee and/or the Board, depending on the nature of the breach. The Company has established an Audit Committee to assist the Board in its oversight responsibilities in relation to financial management and reporting, external audit and financial risk management of the Company and safeguarding the independence of the external auditor. The Audit Committee Charter sets out the functions, operating mechanisms and responsibilities of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee presently consists of Paul Murray, Andrew Bell and Mr Yeongjin Heo. Mr Murray and Mr Bell are both independent and non-executive Directors. Mr Murray acts as the chairman of the Audit Committee.

The board of a listed entity should, before it approves the entity’s financial statements for a financial period, receive from its CEO and CFO a declaration that, in their opinion, the financial records of the entity have been properly maintained and that the financial statements comply with the appropriate accounting standards and give a true and fair view of the financial position and performance of the entity and that the opinion has been formed on the basis of a sound system of risk management and internal control which is operating effectively. A listed entity should disclose its process to verify the integrity of any periodic corporate report it releases to the market that is not audited or reviewed by an external auditor. Yes The Managing Director and Company Secretary are responsible for reviewing all communications to the market to ensure they are full and accurate and comply with the Company’s obligations. Principle 5 – Make Timely and Balanced Disclosure A listed entity should have and disclose a written policy for complying with its continuous disclosure obligations under listing rule 3.1. Yes Jupiter has adopted a Continuous Disclosure Policy. Jupiter is a “disclosing entity” pursuant to section 111AR of the Corporations Act and, as such, is required to comply with the continuous disclosure requirements of Chapter 3 of the Listing Rules and section 674 of the Corporations Act. The Company is committed to observing its disclosure obligations under the Corporations Act and its obligations under the Listing Rules. The Company will post all announcements provided to ASX on its website. A copy of the Continuous Disclosure Policy is available on the Company’s website. The Company Secretary, who reports to the Chairman, ensures that the board receives copies of all material market announcements after they have been released. Under the Company’s Continuous Disclosure Policy, any written materials containing new price sensitive information to be used in investor presentations are lodged with ASX prior to the presentation commencing. Upon confirmation of receipt by ASX, the material is posted to the Company’s website. A listed entity should ensure that its board receives copies of all material market announcements promptly after they have been made. A listed entity that gives a new and substantive investor or analyst presentation should release a copy of the presentation materials on the ASX Market Announcements Platform ahead of the presentation. Yes Yes 5.1 5.2 5.3 Principle 6 – Respect the rights of security holders 6.1 A listed entity should provide information about itself and its governance to investors via its website. Yes Information about Jupiter and its corporate governance, including copies of the Company’s various corporate governance policies and charters, are available on its website. 3 6 Jupiter Mines Limited t n e m e t a t S e c n a n r e v o G e t a r o p r o C Principle ASX Recommendation Comply Comments 6.2 A listed entity should have an investor relations program that facilitates effective two-way communication with investors. Yes 6.3 A listed entity should disclose how it facilitates and encourages participation at meetings of security holders. Yes 6.4 6.5 A listed entity should ensure that all substantive resolutions at a meeting of security holders are decided by a poll rather than by a show of hands. A listed entity should give security holders the option to receive communications from, and send communications to, the entity and its security registry electronically. Yes Yes The Shareholder Communications Policy, which is available on the Company’s website, recognises the value of providing current and relevant information to its shareholders. The Chairman, Managing Director and Company Secretary have primary responsibility for communications with shareholders. The Company is committed to the promotion of investor confidence through the below information: ƒ continuous disclosure of all material information ƒ periodic disclosures through annual, half-year and quarterly reports; and ƒ briefings with the domestic and international investment community. Jupiter supports Shareholder participation in general meetings and seeks to provide appropriate mechanisms for such participation, including by ensuring that meetings are held at convenient times and places to encourage Shareholder participation. In preparing for general meetings, Jupiter drafts the notice of meeting and related explanatory information so that they provide all of the information that is relevant to Shareholders in making decisions on matters to be voted on by them at the meeting. This information is presented clearly and concisely so that it is easy to understand and not ambiguous. Jupiter uses general meetings as a tool to effectively communicate with Shareholders and allow Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of the Board of Directors and to participate in the meeting. Mechanisms for encouraging and facilitating Shareholder participation are reviewed regularly to encourage the highest level of Shareholder participation. Shareholders are able to vote on resolutions via the Share Registry Platform, or by submitting proxy forms as outlined in the Notice of Meeting. Voting on all resolutions at meetings of shareholders are decided by a poll. Jupiter considers that communicating with Shareholders by electronic means is an efficient way to distribute information in a timely and convenient manner. Jupiter provides new Shareholders with the option to receive communications from Jupiter electronically and encourages them to do so. Existing Shareholders are also encouraged to request communications electronically. Jupiter will provide all Shareholders that have opted to receive communications electronically with notifications when it uploads an announcement or other communication (including annual reports and notice of meeting) to the ASX announcements platform. / Annual Report 2021 3 7 t n e m e t a t S e c n a n r e v o G e t a r o p r o C Principle ASX Recommendation Comply Comments Principle 7 – Recognise and manage risk 7.1 The board of a listed entity should: (a) have a committee or committees to oversee risk, each of which: (i) has at least three members, a majority of whom are independent directors; and (ii) is chaired by an independent director, and disclose: (iii) the charter of the committee; (iv) the members of the committee; and (v) as at the end of each reporting period, the number of times the committee met throughout the period and the individual attendances of the members at those meetings; or (b) if it does not have a risk committee or committees that satisfy (a) above, disclose that fact and the processes it employs for overseeing the entity’s risk management framework. No Jupiter does not have a separate risk management committee. The Board as a whole is broadly responsible for risk management, including the review of any risk management system or series of systems that may be implemented by management on a per-project basis. The Audit Committee is responsible for the management of financial risk. The Board considers that, given the Company’s current scope of operations, efficiencies or other benefits would not be gained by establishing a separate risk management committee at present. As the Company’s operations evolve, the Board will reconsider the appropriateness of forming a separate risk management committee. 7.2 The board or a committee of the board should: Yes (a) review the entity’s risk management framework at least annually to satisfy itself that it continues to be sound that the entity is operating with due regard to the risk appetite set by the board; and (b) disclose, in relation to each reporting period, whether such a review has taken place. 7.3 A listed entity should disclose: No (a) if it has an internal audit function, how the function is structured and what role it performs; or (b) if it does not have an internal audit function, that fact and the processes it employs for evaluating and continually improving the effectiveness of its risk management and internal control processes. The Board has responsibility for the monitoring of risk management and reviews the Company’s risk management framework on an annual basis to ensure that the framework continues to be effective. The Company will continue to disclose the outcome of the annual risk management review in its annual reports. Jupiter does not currently have an internal audit function. This function is undertaken by relevant staff under the direction of the Board. The Company has adopted internal control procedures, including the following: ƒ the Company has authorisation limits in place for expenditure and payments; ƒ a Director or senior manager must not approve a payment to themselves or a related party, other than standard salary/directors’ fees in accordance with their Board approved remuneration; ƒ ƒ the Company prepares cash flow forecasts which include materiality thresholds, and which are regularly reviewed; and the Company regularly reviews its other financial materiality thresholds. The Board and senior management are charged with evaluating and considering improvements to the Company’s risk management and internal control processes on an ongoing basis. The Board considers that an internal audit function is not currently necessary given the current size and scope of the Company’s operations. As the Company’s operations evolve, the Board will reconsider the appropriateness of adopting an internal audit function. 3 8 Jupiter Mines Limited t n e m e t a t S e c n a n r e v o G e t a r o p r o C Principle ASX Recommendation Comply Comments 7.4 A listed entity should disclose whether it has any material exposure to environmental or social risks and, if it does, how it manages or intends to manage those risks. Yes Jupiter’s primary business is the production and export of manganese via its 49.9% beneficial interest in the Tshipi Project in South Africa. As such, the Company is exposed to the unique risks to which Tshipi é Ntle is exposed. This includes, but is not limited to, the following key risks: ƒ fluctuations in the price of manganese ore; ƒ fluctuations in third party contractor costs; ƒ any reduction in the global demand for steel; ƒ risks arising concentrated at one mine; from mining operations being ƒ economic, political or social instability in South Africa may effect operations or profits; and ƒ a range of other economic, environmental and social sustainability risks faced by all other mining industry companies in an open economy. Principle 8 – Remunerate fairly and responsibly 8.1 The board of a listed entity should (a) have a remuneration committee which: (i) has at least three members, a majority of whom are independent directors; and Yes The Company has established a RN Committee to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities with respect to: ƒ ƒ ƒ remuneration policies for non–executive Directors; remuneration policies for executive Directors; remuneration policies for executive management; (ii) is chaired by an independent director, ƒ equity participation; and disclose: (iii) the charter of the committee; ƒ human resources policies; and ƒ any other matters referred to the RN Committee by (iv) the members of the committee; and the Board. (v) as at the end of each reporting period, the number of times the committee met throughout the period and the individual attendances of the members at those meetings; or (b) if it does not have a remuneration committee, disclose that fact and the processes it employs for setting the level and composition of remuneration for directors and senior executives and ensuring that such remuneration is appropriate and not excessive. 8.2 A listed entity should separately disclose its policies and practices regarding the remuneration of non-executive directors and the remuneration of executive directors and other senior executives. Yes 8.3 A listed entity which has an equity-based remuneration scheme should: Yes (a) have a policy on whether participants are permitted to enter into transactions (whether through the use of derivatives or otherwise) which limit the economic risk of participating in the scheme; and (b) disclose that policy or a summary of it. The RN Committee Charter sets out the functions, operating mechanisms and responsibilities of the committee. The RN Committee presently consists of Paul Murray, Andrew Bell and Brian Gilbertson. All members are both independent and non-executive Directors. Mr Murray acts as the chairman of the RN Committee. Jupiter will continue to disclose at the end of each reporting period the number of times the committee met throughout the relevant period. A copy of the RN Committee Charter is available on the Company’s website. Jupiter’s policies and practices regarding the remuneration of executive and non-executive Directors and other senior executives will be set out in the remuneration report contained in Jupiter’s annual report for each financial year. Furthermore, Jupiter’s remuneration policies and practices are subject to review by the RN Committee, as set out in the Company’s RN Committee Charter. Jupiter’s Personnel Share Trading Policy states the requirements for all Directors, executives, employees, contractors and consultants of the Company dealing in the Company’s Securities. The policy provides that Directors and senior executives must not at any time enter into a transaction (e.g. writing a call option) that operates or is intended to operate to limit the economic risk of holdings of unvested Jupiter securities under any equity-based remuneration schemes offered by the Company. A copy of the Personnel Share Trading Policy is available on the Company’s website. / Annual Report 2021 3 9 t n e m e t a t S e c n a n r e v o G e t a r o p r o C REPORT F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 4 0 ABN 51 105 991 740 CONSOLIDATED ENTITY Jupiter Mines Limited Statement of Consolidated Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2021 Revenue Gross profit Other income Employee benefits expense Depreciation of property, plant and equipment Amortisation of intangible assets Administrative expenses Other expenses Profit from operations Share of profit from joint venture entities using the equity method Finance income Finance costs Foreign exchange (loss)/gain Profit before income tax Income tax benefit/(expense) Net profit attributable to members of parent entity Loss for the year from discontinued operations Net profit attributable to members of parent entity Other comprehensive income Items that may be subsequently transferred to profit or loss: Translation of foreign currency financial statements Items not to be reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods: Change in the fair value of equity instruments carried at FVOCI Other comprehensive profit/(loss) for the period, net of tax Total comprehensive income for the period Profit for the year attributable to: Owners of the parent Total comprehensive profit/(loss) attributable to: Owners of the parent Overall Operations Consolidated Group Note February 2021 $ February 2020 $ 2 2 17 10 11 4 14 8,202,796 10,358,857 8,202,796 10,358,857 592,071 660,096 (2,163,753) (2,533,112) (2,581) (3,085) (2,427) (4,086) (136,383) (77,905) (2,233,204) (4,264,161) 4,255,861 4,137,262 62,937,155 98,191,396 247,034 (3,693) (281,327) 1,188,810 (476,780) 885,403 67,155,030 103,926,091 3 643,041 (8,807,588) 67,798,071 95,118,503 (278,671) -

The principal activities of Jupiter during the year have been investment in the operating Tshipi Borwa Manganese Mine in South Africa and the sale of manganese ore. The separate financial statements of the parent entity, Jupiter Mines Limited, have not been presented within this financial report as permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. The financial statements were authorised and issued by the Board of Directors on 27 May 2021. Foreign Currency Translation (i) Functional and presentation currency The functional and presentation currency of Jupiter and its subsidiaries is Australian dollars ($). The presentation and functional currency for the interest in Tshipi is the South African Rand. The results are translated into Australian dollars for disclosure in Jupiter’s consolidated accounts. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate as at the items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. initial transaction. Non-monetary (ii) Translation of interest in Joint Venture functional currency to presentation currency The results of the South African Joint Venture interest are translated into Australian dollars using an average rate over the period of the transactions. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at reporting dates. Basis of Preparation These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated. The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. All amounts in the financial report have been rounded to the nearest dollar. Tables may not cast in all instances due to rounding. Jupiter Mines Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements. a. principles of consolidation The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Parent Company and all its subsidiaries as of 28 February 2021. The parent controls a subsidiary if it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary. All subsidiaries have a reporting date of 28 February. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 9 to the financial statements. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter- Group balances and transactions between entities in the Consolidated Group have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with those adopted by the parent entity. Business Combinations The Group applies the acquisition method in accounting for business combinations. The consideration transferred by the Group to obtain control of a subsidiary is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of assets transferred, liabilities incurred, and the equity interests issued by the Group, which includes the fair value of any asset or liability arising from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred. The Group recognises identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination regardless of whether they have been previously recognised in the acquiree’s financial statements prior to the acquisition. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are generally measured at their acquisition-date fair values. / Annual Report 2021 4 5 s t n e m e t a t S l a i c n a n i F d e t a d i l o s n o C e h t o t s e t o N Goodwill is stated after separate recognition of identifiable intangible assets. It is calculated as the excess of the sum of: (a) fair value of consideration transferred, (b) the recognised amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, and (c) acquisition-date fair value of any existing equity interest in the acquiree, over the acquisition-date fair values of identifiable net assets. If the fair values of identifiable net assets exceed the sum calculated above, the excess amount (i.e. gain on a bargain purchase) is recognised in profit or loss immediately. b. interests in Joint ventures The Group acquired an interest in Tshipi é Ntle Manganese Mining Proprietary Limited (“Tshipi”), a joint venture entity, in October 2010. The Group’s accounting policy for joint ventures was considered by the Directors as part of the deliberation on the Tshipi acquisition, and had not been formally considered or articulated previously. A joint venture is an arrangement that the Group controls jointly with one or more other investors, and over which the Group has rights to a share of the arrangement’s net assets rather than direct rights to underlying assets and obligations for underlying liabilities. Investments in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. Any goodwill or fair value adjustment attributable to the Group’s share in the associate or joint venture is not recognised separately and is included in the amount recognised as investment. The carrying amount of the investment in associates and joint ventures is increased or decreased to recognise the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate and joint venture, adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies of the Group. Unrealised gains and losses on transactions between the Group and its associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in those entities. Where unrealised losses are eliminated, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment. c. income tax The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises income tax expense (income) and deferred tax current expense (income). Current income tax expense charged to profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income. Current tax liabilities (assets) are measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority. Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well as unused tax losses. Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited outside profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are recognised outside profit or loss. Except for business combinations, no deferred income tax is recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised, or the liability is settled, and their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability. Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised. Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where: (a) a legally enforceable right of set- off exists; and (b) the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future years in which significant amounts of deferred tax assts or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled. d. property, plant and equipment Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost as indicated less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Plant and equipment Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis. The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts. The cost of fixed assets constructed within the Consolidated Group includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income during the financial year in which they are incurred. 4 6 Jupiter Mines Limited Depreciation The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives to the Consolidated Group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are: Class of Fixed Asset Depreciation Rate Leasehold improvements Furniture & fittings Plant & equipment: Motor vehicles Site equipment 20.00% 33.33% 12.50% 33.33% The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date. 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. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. e. exploration and evaluation expenditure The application of the Group’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure requires judgment in determining whether it is likely that future economic benefits are likely either from future exploitation or sale or where activities have not reached a stage that permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves. The determination of a Joint Ore Reserves Committee (JORC) resource is itself an estimation process that requires varying degrees of uncertainty depending on sub- classification and these estimates directly impact the point of deferral of exploration and evaluation expenditure. The deferral policy requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions about future events or circumstances, in particular, whether an economically viable extraction operation can be established. Estimates and assumptions made may change if new information becomes available. If, after expenditure is capitalised, information becomes available suggesting that the recovery of expenditure is unlikely, the amount capitalised is written off in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income in the year when the new information becomes available. f. Financial instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires. s t n e m e t a t S l a i c n a n i F d e t a d i l o s n o C e h t o t s e t o N Classification and initial measurement of financial assets Financial assets are classified according to their business model and the characteristics of their contractual cash flows. Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are measured at the transaction price in accordance with AASB 15, all financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs (where applicable). Subsequent measurement of financial assets For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets, other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments, are classified into the following two categories: ƒ Financial assets at amortised cost ƒ Equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (“Equity FVTOCI”) All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance costs, finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables which is presented within other expenses. Financial assets at amortised cost Financial assets with contractual cash flows representing solely payments of principal and interest and held within a business model of ‘hold to collect’ contractual cash flows are accounted for at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The Group’s trade and most other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments as well as bonds that were previously classified as held-to-maturity under AASB 139. Equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (“Equity FVTOCI”) Investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading are eligible for an irrevocable election at inception to be measured at FVTOCI. Under this category, subsequent movements in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit or loss. Dividend income is taken to profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents return of capital. Trade and other receivables The Group makes use of a simplified approach in accounting for trade and other receivables and records the loss allowance at the amount equal to the expected lifetime credit losses. In using this practical expedient, the Group uses its historical experience, forward-looking indicators information to calculate the expected credit losses using a provision matrix. The Group allows 1% for amounts that are 30 to 60 days past due, 1.5% for amounts that are between 60 and 90 days past due and writes off fully any amounts that are more than 90 days past due. external and Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income The Group recognises 12 months expected credit losses for financial assets at FVTOCI. As most of these instruments have a high credit rating, the likelihood of default is deemed to be small. However, at each reporting date the Group assesses whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk of the instrument. / Annual Report 2021 4 7 s t n e m e t a t S l a i c n a n i F d e t a d i l o s n o C e h t o t s e t o N In assessing these risks, the Group relies on readily available information such as the credit ratings issued by the major credit rating agencies for the respective asset. The Group only holds simple financial instruments for which specific credit ratings are usually available. In the unlikely event that there is no or only little information on factors influencing the ratings of the asset available, the Group would aggregate similar instruments into a portfolio to assess on this basis whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. In addition, the Group considers other indicators such as adverse changes in business, economic or financial conditions that could affect the borrower’s ability to meet its debt obligation or unexpected changes in the borrowers operating results. Should any of these indicators imply a significant increase in the instrument’s credit risk, the Group recognises for this instrument or class of instruments the lifetime expected credit losses. Classification and measurement of financial liabilities The Group’s financial liabilities include only trade and other payables. Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and, where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs unless the Group designated a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss. Subsequently, financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. All interest-related charges and, if applicable, changes in an instrument’s fair value that are reported in profit or loss are included within finance costs or finance income. g. impairment of non-Financial Assets At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives. h. employee Benefits Provisions are made for the Company’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to reporting date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. Those cash flows are discounted using market yields on high quality corporate bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cash flows. i. provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured. j. cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, less credit card facilities used. Bank overdrafts are shown as short-term borrowings in liabilities. k. trade and Other Receivables Trade receivables are initially measured at their transaction price. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The Group makes use of the simplified approach in accounting for trade and other receivables and records the loss allowance at the amount equal to the expected lifetime credit losses. At each reporting date, the Branch recognises the change in lifetime expected credit losses in profit or loss as an impairment gain or loss. l. Revenue and Other income AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers outlines a single comprehensive model of accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The core principle is that an entity recognises revenue based on a five-step model to reflect the transfer of goods or services, measured at the amount to which the Branch expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The application of the five-step model in AASB 15 requires the exercise of judgement, considering all facts and circumstances relevant to each contract - the relevant judgements have been disclosed in note 1(q). The standard also provides guidance on the accounting treatment of costs attributable to fulfilling the contract, as well as the incremental costs of obtaining the contract. In terms of AASB 15, the Branch identifies each separate performance obligation contained in the contract and allocates a portion of the contract revenue to each performance obligation. Revenue is then only recognised on the satisfaction of each of the relevant performance obligations. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control is transferred to the customer. Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method, which, for floating rate financial assets, is the rate inherent in the instrument. Full details are provided at Note 2. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST). 4 8 Jupiter Mines Limited s t n e m e t a t S l a i c n a n i F d e t a d i l o s n o C e h t o t s e t o N m. Borrowing costs Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income in the period in which they are incurred. n. goods and Services tax (gSt) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position. Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities that are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are presented as operating cash flows included in receipts from customers or payments to suppliers. o. trade and Other payables Trade and other payables are carried at cost and, due to their short term nature, are not discounted. They represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial period that are unpaid and arise when Jupiter becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. p. comparative Figures When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial period. q. critical Accounting estimates and Judgements and The Directors evaluate estimates judgements incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group. Key estimates – Impairment of non-financial assets The Group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Key judgements – Exploration and evaluation expenditure The Group’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure results in certain items of expenditure being capitalised for an area of interest where it is considered likely to be recoverable by future exploitation or sale or where the activities have not reached a stage that permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves. This policy requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions as to future events and circumstances, in particular, whether an economically viable extraction operation can be established. Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. If, after having capitalised the expenditure under the policy, a judgement is made that recovery of the expenditure is unlikely, the relevant capitalised amount will be written off to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. Key judgements – revenue from contracts with customers The Jupiter Mines Limited (External Profit Company) (“SA Branch”) acted as an agent, as opposed to a principal, for all sales contracts entered into during the financial year. In determining whether the SA Branch acted as an agent, management considered elements of control and risks assumed by the SA Branch. The SA Branch earned a fixed percentage marketing fee for the sales contracts, assumed limited risks (inventory, pricing) and although the SA Branch obtained legal title of the goods this was only obtained momentarily and did not demonstrate that the SA Branch controlled the goods. Based on these factors, the Branch considered it was acting in an agency relationship. The revenue and associated trade receivables and trade payables balances are calculated based on management’s best estimate of the metal and moisture content of the ore shipped to customers. Extensive sampling and surveying is performed prior to shipment in an effort to ensure the accuracy of these estimations. Due to the inherent limitations of sampling and the method of transport, variances in the metal and moisture content measured on arrival at the discharge port may be different from those estimated by management on the date of the sale. Variances in the metal and moisture content of the shipped ore on arrival at the discharge port will have an impact on the profitability of the SA Branch. r. non-current assets held for distribution and discontinued operations The Group classifies non-current assets and disposal groups as held for distribution if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for distribution are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Costs to sell are the incremental costs directly attributable to the disposal of an asset (disposal group), excluding finance costs and income tax expense. The criteria for held for distribution classification is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Actions required to complete the sale should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the sale will be made or that the decision to sell will be withdrawn. Management must be committed to the plan to sell the asset and the sale expected to be completed within one year from the date of the classification. / Annual Report 2021 4 9 s t n e m e t a t S l a i c n a n i F d e t a d i l o s n o C e h t o t s e t o N Assets and liabilities classified as held for distribution are presented separately as current items in the statement of financial position. A disposal group qualifies as discontinued operation if it is a component of an entity that either has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale, and: ƒ Represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations ƒ ƒ Is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, or; Is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. Discontinued operations are excluded from the results of continuing operations and are presented as a single amount as profit or loss after tax from discontinued operations in the statement of profit or loss. Additional disclosures are provided in note 31. All other notes to the financial statements include amounts for continuing operations, unless indicated otherwise. New and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations for current year A number of new Standards, amendment of Standards and interpretations which have become effective for the year ended 28 February 2021 have been adopted and do not have a significant impact on the Group’s financial results or position. New accounting standards not yet effective There are no forthcoming standards and amendments that are expected to have a material impact on the group in the current or future reporting periods, or on foreseeable future transactions. nOte 2: RevenUe Marketing fee revenue Gross profit Other income Other income Consolidated Group February 2021 $ February 2020 $ 8,202,796 10,358,857 8,202,796 10,358,857 592,071 660,096 592,071 660,096 The “SA Branch” is registered in South Africa for the purpose of the sale and export of Jupiter’s share of Tshipi manganese ore. AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers outlines a single comprehensive model of accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The core principle is that an entity recognises revenue based on a five-step model to reflect the transfer of goods or services, measured at the amount to which the SA Branch expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The application of the five-step model in AASB 15 requires the exercise of judgement, considering all facts and circumstances relevant to each contract - the relevant judgements have been disclosed in note 1. The standard also provides guidance on the accounting treatment of costs attributable to fulfilling the contract, as well as the incremental costs of obtaining the contract. In terms of AASB 15, the SA Branch identifies each separate performance obligation contained in the contract and allocates a portion of the contract revenue to each performance obligation. Revenue is then only recognised on the satisfaction of each of the relevant performance obligations. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control is transferred to the customer. Tshipi joint venture records the sale of manganese ore as revenue and Jupiter records its share of the Tshipi profits by equity accounting. Sale of Manganese Ore Given the Branch only takes control of the goods momentarily before control passes to the customer as well as the limited risks which the Branch assumes the Branch is considered to be acting in an agency capacity. The nature of the SA Branch’s contracts are to arrange for the goods (manganese ore) to be provided by another party (Tshipi) and therefore the SA Branch is acting in an agency capacity, facilitating the sale between Tshipi and the customer. Under the previous accounting standard, AASB 118, all sales contracts entered into, where the purchase price of the manganese ore was equal to the selling price, the SA Branch was also considered to have been acting in an agency capacity. 5 0 Jupiter Mines Limited s t n e m e t a t S l a i c n a n i F d e t a d i l o s n o C e h t o t s e t o N Marketing Fee Income The SA Branch receives a fixed commission on each sale based on the FOB selling price. The amount and timing of revenue to be recognised from marketing fee income under AASB 15 was considered below against the five step model: ƒ There is a contract with Tshipi, for each parcel sold, which entitles the SA Branch to receive the commission. The contract has commercial substance and both parties are committed to performing their obligations; ƒ The performance obligation for the SA Branch in respect to each sale is that the SA Branch needs to facilitate the sale between the customer and Tshipi; ƒ The transaction price can be determined as it is calculated as a fixed percentage of the FOB selling price; ƒ There is only one performance obligation in the contract and therefore the whole transaction price has been allocated to this performance obligation; ƒ Revenue is recognised when the performance obligation is satisfied. The performance obligation of the SA Branch is considered to be satisfied when control passes from Tshipi to the customer. Control passes to the customer when the ore passes over the rail of the vessel (bill of lading date), this is when the customer has the obligation to pay for the goods transferred and when risk and rewards of ownership are transferred to the customer. Marketing fee income is determined based on the final metal and moisture content at the discharge port. On the bill of lading date, the provisional marketing fee income is recognised based on the load port metal and moisture content which is considered to be the best estimate. Once the final metal and moisture content is determined on finalisation of the sales transaction, typically between 2 and 3 months later, the marketing fee income initially recognised is adjusted subsequently. At the reporting period, the fair value of the original marketing fee income and associated receivable is adjusted by reference to the best estimate of the actual metal and moisture content. The changes in fair value are recorded as an adjustment to marketing fee income. On the bill of lading date, there is no uncertainty regarding Jupiter’s entitlement to the marketing fee as their responsibilities under the marketing fee arrangement have been performed and they have an unconditional right to the marketing fee on this date. The marketing fee amount receivable will only be adjusted for the final metal and moisture content, as stated above. Jupiter invoices Tshipi for the marketing fee once the final metal and moisture content can be determined and the customer has paid Tshipi for the final invoice. The payment is typically three months after the marketing fee income was first recognised and the contract is therefore considered to be short term in nature. Under AASB 15, the accounting for marketing fee income will remain unchanged in that marketing fee income will be recognised when control passes to the customer, which will continue to be the date of delivery when risks and rewards passed to the customer. nOte 3: incOMe tAX eXpenSe And deFeRRed tAXeS The major components of tax expense and the reconciliation of the expected tax expense based on the domestic effective tax rate of Jupiter Mines at 30% (2020: 30%) and the reported tax expense in the profit or loss are as follows: Tax expense comprises: (a) Current tax Add: Consolidated Group February 2021 $ February 2020 $ 2,073,305 2,291,414 Deferred income tax relating to origination and reversal of temporary differences Current tax in respect of prior years - 758,253 ƒ Origination and reversal of timing differences (1,984,776) 4,447,465 ƒ Recognition of deferred tax asset losses ƒ Under provision in respect of prior years Tax (benefit)/expense (735,720) - 4,150 1,310,456 (643,041) 8,807,588 / Annual Report 2021 5 1 s t n e m e t a t S l a i c n a n i F d e t a d i l o s n o C e h t o t s e t o N (b) Accounting profit before tax Consolidated Group February 2021 $ February 2020 $ 66,876,362 103,926,091 Domestic tax rate for Jupiter Mines Limited at 30% (2020: 30%) 20,062,909 31,177,827 Tax rate differential (152,809) (158,024) Other expenditure not allowed or allowable for income tax purposes 426,142 748,594 Under provision in respect of prior years 4,150 2,068,710 Share of profit in equity accounted investments (20,983,433) (25,029,519) Income tax (benefit)/expense (643,041) 8,807,588 Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences and unused tax losses can be summarised as follows: Deferred Tax Assets (Liabilities) Liabilities Opening balance 1 March 2020 Recognised in Profit and Loss During the Year Closing Balance 28 February 2021 Property, plant and equipment 9,695 (9,695) - Exploration and discontinued operations (3,515,171) (282,535) (3,797,706) Other (409,360) 408,126 (1,234) Investments using the equity method (52,278,061) 2,102,283 (50,175,778) Balance as at 28 February 2021 (56,192,897) 2,218,179 (53,974,718) Assets Property, plant and equipment Pension and other employee obligations Trade and other receivables Other Tax losses Balance as at 28 February 2021 - 57,879 - 27,657 547,881 633,417 3,057 25,259 12,602 (6,143) 3,057 83,138 12,602 21,514 463,345 1,011,226 498,120 1,131,537 Net Deferred Tax Liabilities (55,559,480) 2,716,299 (52,843,181) 5 2 Jupiter Mines Limited nOte 4: OtHeR eXpenSeS Manganese marketing costs Insurance expense Consultancy fees Professional fees Directors fees Regulatory fees Other costs s t n e m e t a t S l a i c n a n i F d e t a d i l o s n o C e h t o t s e t o N Consolidated Group February 2021 $ February 2020 $ - 1,806,620 849,817 715,326 46,973 125,189 437,931 411,972 371,000 337,640 197,811 238,433 329,672 628,981 2,233,204 4,264,161 nOte 5: eARningS peR SHARe (“epS”) Both the basic and diluted earnings per share have been calculated using the profit attributable to shareholders of the parent Company (Jupiter Mines Limited).

The lease was subsequently extended to 30 November 2021. Amounts include rent, outgoings and cleaning with 4.5% annual rent review increase. It does not take into account reduced guarantees or returned deposits or incentives. Figures based on 9 months (1 March 2021 to 30 November 2021) which is the end of the lease. The expense recognised for the operating lease was $51,194 (2020: $53,177). The property lease is non-cancellable for six months, with rent payable monthly in advance. Expenditure Commitments In order to maintain current rights of tenure to mining tenements, the Company and Group are required to perform minimum work to meet the requirements specified by various State governments. These obligations can be reduced by selective relinquishment of exploration tenure or application for expenditure exemptions. Due to the nature of the Company and Group’s operations in exploring and evaluating areas of interest, it is very difficult to forecast the nature and amount of future expenditure. It is anticipated that expenditure commitments for the next twelve months will be tenement rentals of $547,156 (2020: $535,207) and exploration expenditure of $676,100 (2020: $676,100). 6 0 Jupiter Mines Limited s t n e m e t a t S l a i c n a n i F d e t a d i l o s n o C e h t o t s e t o N nOte 21: cOntingent LiABiLitieS And ASSetS Contingent liabilities The parent entity has provided guarantees to third parties in relation to the performance and obligations of controlled entities in respect of banking facilities.

The totals for each category of financial instruments, measured in accordance with AASB 9 as detailed in the accounting policies to these financial statements, are as follows: Financial Assets Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Equity instruments at FVOCI Other current assets Financial Liabilities Trade and other payables Consolidated Group February 2021 $ February 2020 $ 60,622,311 29,285,067 46,171,674 40,357,267 43,120 329,528 57,884 57,884 106,894,989 70,029,746 42,462,258 37,619,369 42,462,258 37,619,369 Financial Risk Management Policies The Directors monitor the Group’s financial risk management policies and exposures and approve financial transactions. The Directors’ overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the Group in meeting its financial targets while minimising potential adverse effects on financial performance. Its functions include the review of credit risk policies and future cash flow requirements. Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk consisting of interest rate risk, liquidity risk and equity price risk. (a) Credit Risk Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counterparties of contract obligations that could lead to a financial loss to the Group. Credit risk is managed through the maintenance of procedures (such procedures include the utilisation of systems for the approval, granting and renewal of credit limits, regular monitoring of exposures against such limits and monitoring of the financial stability of significant customers and counterparties), ensuring to the extent possible, that customers and counterparties to transactions are of sound credit worthiness. Such monitoring is used in assessing receivables for impairment. Risk is also minimised through investing surplus funds in financial institutions that maintain a high credit rating, or in entities that the Directors have otherwise cleared as being financially sound. Credit Risk Exposures The maximum exposure to credit risk by class of recognised financial assets at reporting date, excluding the value of any collateral or other security held, is equivalent to the carrying value and classification of those financial assets (net of any provisions) as presented in the statement of financial position. Credit risk also arises through the provision of financial guarantees, as approved at Board level, given to parties securing the liabilities of certain subsidiaries. Trade and other receivables that are neither past due or impaired are considered to be of high credit quality. Aggregates of such amounts are as detailed in Note 7. There are no amounts of collateral held as security in respect of trade and other receivables. The Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or group of receivables under financial instruments entered into by the Consolidated Group. Credit risk related to balances with banks and other financial institutions is managed by investing cash with major financial institutions in both cash on deposit and term deposit accounts. Interest rates on major deposits that are re-invested are at a fixed rate on a monthly basis. 6 4 Jupiter Mines Limited s t n e m e t a t S l a i c n a n i F d e t a d i l o s n o C e h t o t s e t o N (b) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. The Group manages this risk through the following mechanisms: ƒ preparing forward looking cash flow analysis in relation to its operational, investing and financing activities; ƒ monitoring undrawn credit facilities; ƒ obtaining funding from a variety of sources; ƒ maintaining a reputable credit profile; ƒ managing credit risk related to financial assets; ƒ only investing surplus cash with major financial institutions; and ƒ comparing the maturity profile of financial liabilities with the realisation profile of financial assets. The Group has no significant exposure to liquidity risk due to the level of cash and cash equivalents detailed at Note 6. The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring immediate and forecast cash requirements and ensuring adequate cash reserves are maintained. The tables below reflect an undiscounted contractual maturity analysis for financial liabilities. Cash flows realised from financial assets reflect management’s expectation as to the timing of realisation. Actual timing may therefore differ from that disclosed. The timing of cash flows presented in the table to settle financial liabilities reflects the earliest contractual settlement dates.

It is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in interest rates (interest rate risk), foreign exchange (currency risk) or other market factors (other price risk). (i) Interest rate risk Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at the end of the reporting period whereby a future change in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of fixed-rate financial instruments. The financial assets and financial liabilities with exposure to interest rate risk are detailed below: Financial Assets Cash and cash equivalents Other current assets Financial Liabilities Short term borrowings Long term borrowings (ii) Foreign exchange risk Consolidated Group February 2021 $ February 2020 $ 60,622,311 29,285,067 57,884 57,884 60,680,195 29,342,951 - - - - Jupiter operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures primarily with respect to the US Dollar and South African Rand. Jupiter’s exposure to currency risk is on cash, trade receivables, and borrowings. Foreign currency risk is the risk of exposure to transactions that are denominated in a currency other than the Australian dollar. The carrying amounts of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities are denominated in three different currencies as set out below: Financial Assets (iii) Other price risk 28 February 2021 AUD ZAR USD Total $ 57,614,988 1,286,458 1,720,865 60,622,311 Price risk relates to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices largely due to demand and supply factors for commodities. As the Group does not derive revenue from sale of products, the effect on profit and equity as a result of changes in the price risk is not considered material. The fair value of the mining projects will be impacted by commodity price changes (predominantly iron ore, nickel and uranium) and could impact future revenues once operational. However, management monitors current and projected commodity prices. 6 6 Jupiter Mines Limited s t n e m e t a t S l a i c n a n i F d e t a d i l o s n o C e h t o t s e t o N (iv) Summarised sensitivity analysis The following table summarises the sensitivity of the Jupiter Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities to interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk.

The Group recognises this investment as a joint venture using the equity method in accordance with AASB 128 Investment in Associates and Joint Ventures, and is considered for impairment in the event of significant or prolong decline in value. Management assesses impairment indicators on an annual basis in accordance with AASB 136 Impairment of Assets. This area is a key audit matter due to the significant balance carried by the Group that management have assessed using estimates and judgements that required specific valuation expertise and analysis. Valuation and disclosure of disposal group held for distribution - Note 1(r) & Note 31 In October 2020, the Group announced that the Director’s unanimously approved a demerger of its Central Yilgarn Iron Ore assets (“CYIP”) and subsequent initial public offering (“IPO”), subject to all statutory approvals. The demerger will create an ASX listed company, Juno Minerals Ltd. The associated assets and liabilities have been classified as a disposal group and recorded at the lower of its carrying value and estimated fair value less costs to distribute. Included within the disposal group’s carrying value is exploration and evaluation assets at 28 February 2021 of $12,716,021. This area is a key audit matter due to the significant balance carried by the Group that management have assessed using estimates and judgements to determine the fair value less costs to distribute. How our audit addressed the key audit matter Our procedures included, amongst others:  Evaluating the appropriateness of managements use of the equity method to account for the investment in Tshipi é Ntle Manganese Mining Proprietary Limited in accordance with AASB 128;  Evaluating management’s assessment of internal and external impairment indicators detailed in AASB 136 “Impairment of Assets”; and  Assessing the adequacy of related disclosures in Note 1(b) and Note 14. Our procedures included, amongst others:  Considering the appropriateness of the method applied by the Group to determine fair value less costs to distribute in accordance with the requirements of the accounting standards;  Procedures included obtaining the key valuation inputs, including the manganese price, ore reserves and critically assessing the inputs and assumptions;  Obtaining the management reconciliation of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure and agreeing to the general ledger;  Testing projects to statutory registers, exploration licenses and third party confirmations to determine whether a right of tenure existed; and  Assessing the adequacy of related disclosures in Note 1(r) and Note 31. Information other than the financial report and auditor’s report thereon The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 28 February 2021, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. / Annual Report 2021 7 7 t r o p e R s ’ r o t i d u A t n e d n e p e d n I Independent Auditor’s Report If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of the Directors for the financial report The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial report, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have 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.
