This is my first Chair’s Letter to you, having been appointed to Jupiter’s Board as a Non-Executive Director on 16 February ahead of assuming the role of Non-Executive Chair from 1 May. I joined Jupiter with extensive experience in the global mining industry and in capital markets, having held senior executive and leadership roles with mining and exploration companies across Australia, Africa and North America. I am driven by team success and delivering sustained, positive outcomes for all shareholders. Shareholder dissatisfaction and the fourth consecutive annual vote against the remuneration report at the 2021 Annual General Meeting led to a Spill Meeting in October, and the subsequent departures of Managing Director Priyank Thapliyal and Non-Executive Chair Brian Gilbertson. In November, Peter North and Scott Winter were appointed as Acting Chair and Acting Chief Executive Officer, respectively, and I commend their efforts over the past six months to bring stability to the Company and position it for future and ongoing success. Global events, including COVID-19 and soft manganese prices, have created a challenging environment for Tshipi though the mine and its management team have performed well. Tshipi, in which Jupiter has a 49.9 per cent economic interest, had another profitable year and maintained production, reduced unit costs and weathered a significant increase in freight costs. Tshipi achieved a 9.8 per cent increase in production from 3.4Mt to 3.7Mt while reducing the average FOB cost from US$2.03 to US$1.93 per dmtu. The safety performance at Tshipi was excellent, with injury rates remaining low, and this remains a strong focus for your new Board and Executive. The financial performance at Tshipi allowed Jupiter to declare a group net profit after tax of $54 million and a final, unfranked dividend of 1¢ per share, complementing the interim unfranked dividend of 0.5¢ per share. During the year, Jupiter also completed the demerger of Juno Minerals Limited, which housed our non-core Western Australian iron ore assets, via an in-specie distribution to Shareholders. Juno listed on the ASX on 12 May 2021. Jupiter has commenced this new financial year in a strong position to concentrate on Tshipi and consider high-value opportunities to grow our core manganese business. In addition to its traditional role in the production of stainless steel, manganese is fast emerging as a sought- after battery metal because of its comparatively low cost and strong safety characteristics. This is an exciting advance for companies like Jupiter that have world-class manganese assets like Tshipi. I am excited about Jupiter’s future and the opportunities that lie in front of us. In closing, I would like to thank my fellow Directors and the Jupiter team, led by Scott and our Chief Financial Officer Melissa North, for their support and dedication over the past year. I also thank all Shareholders for your ongoing support of Jupiter and look forward to meeting many of you over coming months, including at our AGM in Perth on 26 July. Ian Murray Non-Executive Chair ANNUAL REPORT 2022 3 Operating and Financial Review Jupiter Mines Limited (Jupiter or the Company) has a 49.9% interest in Tshipi é Ntle Manganese Mining Proprietary Limited (Tshipi), which operates the Tshipi Manganese Mine in South Africa. For FY2022, Jupiter recorded a Group net profit after tax of $54.0 million (FY2021: $67.5 million). The Group generated underlying earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation and impairment (underlying EBITDA) of $44.8 million and an EBITDA of $57.5 million (FY2021: both $66.9 million). Jupiter successfully divested its Central Yilgarn Iron assets via a demerger of Juno Minerals Limited (ASX: JNO), and a gain of $12.6 million was recognised during the year on disposal of these assets. Share of profit from Tshipi was $42.8 million (FY2021: $62.9 million), down 32%, due to higher freight costs and continued low manganese prices. Tshipi achieved an increase in production tonnes of 9.8% from 3.4 million tonnes to 3.7 million tonnes in FY2022, and a reduction in average free on board (FOB) cost from US$2.03 to US$1.55 per dry metric tonne unit (dmtu). Jupiter’s marketing branch earned $7.3 million in marketing fees for FY2022 (FY2021: $8.2 million). Tshipi Manganese Mine The Tshipi mine is an open-pit manganese mine with an integrated ore processing plant located in the Kalahari Manganese Fields, in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa, which is the largest manganese bearing geological formation in the world. Tshipi remains the largest manganese mine in South Africa and one of the five largest globally, with a long-life resource and low operating costs. Figure 1: Tshipi Manganese Mine location map w e i v e R l a i c n a n i F d n a g n i t a r e p O 4 JUPITER MINES LIMITED Tshipi withstood a challenging year for a number of reasons: above average rainfall in the mine, and rail logistics challenges from cable damage and derailments. A focus on mine plan and operational optimisation has however helped deliver increased production and lower FOB costs. Higher shipping costs were seen during the year, also contributing to the overall decrease in profit. 23 m D U A 40 20 - (20) (40) (60) (80) (100) (120) (140) 2 (99) (0) 23 (2) 4 (19) (0) (1) 13 16 (86) Revenue Shipping Cost Other Selling Costs Marketing Mining MRM Processing Logistics Overheads Indirect Overheads Royalties Income Tax NPAT FY22 Increase Decrease Total Figure 2: Movement in key profit and loss categories from FY2021 to FY2022 Mined volume Waste and low grade ore Graded ore Total Production High grade Low grade Total Sales Average cost, insurance and freight (CIF) price achieved (high grade lumpy) Average FOB cost of production Average FOB cost of production Average exchange rate Average exchange rate Unit FY2022 FY2021 Bank cubic metre (bcm) bcm Tonnes Tonnes 12,151,555 1,004,595 13,156,150 3,172,131 507,860 3,679,991 11,379,696 635,124 12,014,820 2,388,221 963,925 3,352,146 Tonnes 3,251,920 3,417,585 US$/dmtu ZAR/dmtu US$/dmtu AUD/ZAR US$/ZAR 4.60 28.72 1.93 11.00 14.85 4.19 33.80 2.05 11.60 16.50 Manganese prices during the year remained lower than expected, averaging US$3.22 (per dmtu, Metal Bulletin 37% FOB Port Elizabeth) (FY2021: US$3.83).

Tshipi however remained profit and cash positive throughout the year and declared and paid dividends of ZAR588 million (FY2021: ZAR1.43 billion). MINING AND PRODUCTION Tshipi finished the 2022 year 1% ahead of target for graded ore mining and 5% behind on total in-situ mining movement (rehandle accounted for 0.52 million bcm which is not included in total mining movement). Tshipi operational improvement program with mining contractor Moolmans continued to show progress towards the end of the year, however high rainfall and excavator availability continued to affect operations. ANNUAL REPORT 2022 w e 5 i v e R The focus has continued on waste stripping in the barrier pillar with both in-situ and ramp rehandle material a focus in February. This has now exposed a large block of graded ore which is available to Tshipi over the next year and can be readily mined as the opportunities arise in the market. Mining will continue at life of mine strip ratio. Mining and Production Tshipi finished the 2022 year 1% ahead of target for graded ore mining and 5% behind on total in-situ mining movement.

This has now exposed a large block of graded ore which is available to Tshipi over the next year and can be readily mined as opportunities arise in the market. Tshipi will continue to mine at life of mine strip ratio and will be able to react favourably when the market moves favourably. Figure 3: Overview of Tshipi pit Figure X: Overview of Tshipi pit Processing of high grade ore production was 1.5% above target for the year. Low grade ore was 262,140 tonnes or 34% behind target for the year. This is as a result of limiting the sales of low grade into the market and focusing on alternate mining areas to mine waste. Low grade ore has not been exposed as readily and run of mine (ROM) stockpiles are lower than originally planned. The high grade fines tonnes were slightly elevated due to the processing of supergene material mined from the barrier pillar with a higher fines content. For the year, the high grade fines content was on target at 15%. Logistics and Sales Tshipi moved a total of 3,273,773 tonnes for the year, with on-land logistics split almost evenly between rail and road. Trucking capacity was available for the increased movement with the lower than planned low grade sales. The issues with rail transport remain, with overall capacity at approximately 90% due to ongoing cable theft, power outages and derailments, impacting throughput to several ports, and consequently impacting exports. Road volumes remain available and were activated over the final quarter of the year to assist Tshipi in meeting its shipping schedule. Tshipi continues to explore logistics alternatives to ensure makeup capacity is available and growth potential can be realised. Tshipi shipped 3,251,920 tonnes for the FY2022 year. Tshipi hauled on road approximately 128,000 (13%) of high grade material above plan which in turn resulted in the logistics costs being approximately 8% above planned for the year for high grade material. 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 6 JUPITER MINES LIMITED Tshipi Financial Statement Summary Set out below is a summary of Tshipi’s audited Statement of Profit or Loss and Statement of Financial Position: 28 February 2022 ZAR’000 28 February 2021 ZAR’000 Statement of Profit or Loss Revenue Cost of sales Gross profit Other income Administrative expenses Net loss on disposal and impairment of property, plant and equipment Other expenses Profit from operating activities Finance income Finance expenses Profit before royalties and taxation Royalties Profit before taxation Income tax expense Profit for the year Statement of Financial Position 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 Trade and other receivables 7,393,827 (6,073,721) 1,320,106 100,018 (14,174) (2,403) (17,054) 1,386,496 63,868 (13,487) 1,436,874 (102,562) 1,334,312 (391,247) 943,065 68,470 430,672 692,239 793,181 122,198 79,079 2,185,839 2,811,726 166,891 38,720 33,142 7,499,317 (5,163,380) 2,335,937 5,583 (13,563) (5,428) (20,867) 2,301,662 53,668 (24,874) 2,330,456 (298,923) 2,031,533 (568,758) 1,462,775 739 266,841 1,058,270 512,289 113,099 72,994 2,024,232 2,576,692 173,545 38,385 33,815 Right of use assets Total non-current assets Total assets Current liabilities Current tax liabilities Trade and other payables Current contract liabilities Lease liability Total current liabilities Non-current liabilities Decommissioning and rehabilitation provision Deferred tax liabilities Lease liabilities Total non-current liabilities Total liabilities Equity Share capital and share premium Retained income Contributed assets reserve Total equity Total equity and liabilities 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 ANNUAL REPORT 2022 7 28 February 2022 ZAR’000 28 February 2021 ZAR’000 10,705 3,061,184 5,247,023 18,256 485,225 122,198 125 625,804 101,009 750,089 19,523 870,621 1,496,425 321,359 3,312,278 116,961 3,750,598 5,247,023 21,833 2,844,270 4,868,502 14,787 565,321 113,099 6,271 699,478 80,751 671,578 21,162 773,491 1,492,969 321,359 2,957,213 116,961 3,395,533 4,868,502 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 8 JUPITER MINES LIMITED Manganese Marketing During FY2022 the manganese market continued to predominantly be influenced by crude steel production, as the largest consuming market for manganese ore. New developments and opportunities for utilising manganese concentrate in the battery sector continue to progress. Total world crude steel production during FY2022 increased marginally from FY2021 levels. The contraction noted in Chinese production in FY2022 was offset by an increase in crude steel production from the rest of the world. Chinese crude steel production was strong at the start of FY2022 and recorded a year on year increase in production of 11% for the first six months of calendar year 2021. A sharp contraction in Chinese crude steel production was noted from July 2021. The contraction was attributable to weaker demand, particularly in the property and real estate sector, as well as a cap on crude steel production in an effort to control emissions. In other major steel producing countries, the easing of supply chain disruptions and COVID-19 associated lockdown measures, coupled with the increasing demand from downstream sectors and end users, resulted in an increase in crude steel production in FY2022. Energy consumption control measures were implemented and eased throughout FY2022 in different provinces in China, and to different extents, effecting energy intensive industries including steel mills and alloy plants. These measures were adopted as the Chinese government works towards their goal of peaking carbon dioxide emissions and becoming carbon neutral. Energy intensive industries in the country were also impacted by power supply availability during FY2022. Thermal coal demand outstripped supply, and alternative energy sources such as hydro and wind power failed to generate anticipated capacity, which led to an increase in electricity prices. As a result of the environmental control measures and power shortages, some ferroalloy plants were forced to stop or reduce production or alternatively shift production to non- peak periods, where permissible. The surge in energy price did not only impact China but was also felt in other regions including some European countries where ferroalloy plants reduced production as a result. Besides for the effects of ferroalloy production as stated above, the manganese ore market in China was supported by lower imports into China year-on-year with a recovery in demand noted outside of China when compared to the previous year. This resulted in manganese ore stocks at major ports in China steadily declining throughout FY2022. On an overall basis, however, manganese ore stocks still equate to between 2 and 3 months of consumption. Strong manganese ore demand was particularly noted in India where manganese ore imports have increased substantially from FY2021. This is as crude steel production in India (the second biggest crude steel producing country) increased but also strengthened demand for manganese alloys outside of India was noted. Indian alloy producers were able to tap into this higher demand and increase their exports into European, Asian and Middle Eastern markets. Smelters prefer to consume higher grade ore during sustained periods of high energy costs and reduced power supply and hence demand for higher grade ore increased during the second half of FY2022. At the same time supply of higher grade ore was tightening. Whilst on the other hand, supply of semi-carbonate seaborne and portside material was healthy. These supply and demand fundamentals have led to a widening gap between higher grade ore (typical Mn content 44%) and lower grade ore (typical Mn content 37%). Bulk freight rates were already elevated at the beginning of the financial year and continued increasing through the first half of FY2022 as supply chain disruptions grew and thereafter remained volatile at higher than historical levels. Congestion at ports resulting in increased turnaround times and higher bunker fuel prices were amongst the factors contributing to higher bulk freight rates in FY2022. Considering these factors, manganese ore seaborne prices for 37% Mn ore content material traded within a close range of approximately US$0.70/dmtu (CIF Tianjin basis) during FY2022 as reflected below: u t m d / D S U 5,20 5,00 4,80 4,60 4,40 4,20 4,00 3,80 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 ANNUAL REPORT 2022 9 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 n o t / D S U 1 Mar 21 1 Apr 21 1 May 21 1 Jun 21 1 Jul 21 1 Aug 21 1 Sep 21 1 Oct 21 1 Nov 21 1 Dec 21 1 Jan 22 1 Feb 22 Fastmarkets manganese ore index 37% Mn, cif Tianjin, $/dmtu* Averaged assessed freight rate (Port Elizabeth - Tianjin) *Source: Fastmarkets Figure 4: Fastmarkets manganese ore index and average assessed freight rates over FY2022 During February 2022 downstream steel and manganese alloy production was affected by Chinese Spring Festival as well as the pollution control measures in Beijing and surrounding areas ahead of and during the Winter Olympics. Downstream demand was expected to recover after these events which contributed to an increase in manganese ore prices at the end of FY2022. Whilst multiple factors, including but not limited to stringent COVID-19 related lockdown measures in some parts of China, have impacted the manganese market after FY2022 Jupiter believes downstream steel demand fundamentals will return to the market in FY2023 and be further supported by the introduction of stimulus measures.

Environmental expenditure for Tshipi’s managed operations in FY2022 was: ZAR4 million for waste disposal and remedial treatment ZAR1.8 million the land management and biodiversity, water and air quality monitoring and external audits ZAR4.2 million for construction of concrete slabs to address hydrocarbon spillages at maintenance workshops. Greenhouse Gas Emissions Tshipi is committed to the minimisation of GHG and carbon footprint reduction. In line with global initiatives, Tshipi has undertaken a mine GHG baseline and carbon equivalent assessment. The GHG Annual Emission Assessment conducted in FY2021 reported a carbon equivalent of 0.06Mt CO2e versus the baseline 0.079Mt CO2e. Water and Wastewater Management Tshipi has expanded its on-site catchment capacity of its water storage dams with an additional storm water dam. During the rainy season, Tshipi has received significant rainfall compared to previous years, which has filled all of Tshipi’s dams to near full capacity.

Waste and Hazardous Materials Management During FY2019, Tshipi initiated the bioremediation facility project to reduce the hazardous waste footprint by treating polluted soil on site and reintroducing it back into the environment. This year, approximately 125 cubic metres of polluted soil was treated and introduced back into the environment. The remediated soil was used for the construction of road berms and walkways. 300 250 200 150 100 50 0 2019 2020 2021 2022 Figure 8: Hazardous waste disposal (tons) Ecological Impacts A Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) was developed to mitigate the impacts that resulted from the original mine development in 2009. In this past year, a number of mitigating actions were implemented in line with the biodiversity commitments including land conservation by means of mining in a modular pattern to limit land disturbance. Tshipi has also tracked the number of protected trees that were removed due to the development of the mine. Approximately 10,137 Vachellia erioloba and Haematoxylon were removed or destroyed. 12 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 Figure 9: Protected tree species on-site: Vachellia erioloba and Haematoxylon Under the BAP, 5,490 indigenous trees were planted and 790 were donated to the local municipality and schools. Tshipi views tree planting as an ongoing act to ensure sustainability and to date more than 7,280 indigenous trees have been planted. Figure 10: Tree planting in the local community Safety Tshipi’s strategic intent is to decrease health and safety risks to individuals and assets, as well as environmental threats, by developing and implementing systems, processes and enhancing competencies. Tshipi have created frameworks to strengthen workplace design and controls, systems and processes, safety and culture, and make sure to interact with all stakeholders to ensure a multifaceted approach to safety and health challenges. Tshipi recorded no lost time injuries (LTIs) during FY2022 and none for FY2023 to date. This is an achievement of 365 LTI free days as of 1 March 2022. In FY2022 Tshipi documented 12 Medical Treatment Cases resulting in a total recordable injury frequency rate (TRIFR) of 0.95 versus Tshipi’s tolerance of 1.10. The implementation of targeted safety leadership programs, focus on risk control, system and performance standard audits and a focus on high risk planned task observations, has had a positive effect on TRIFR with recent results showing an improvement in overall injury related incidents. 0.70 0.60 0.50 0.40 0.30 0.20 0.10 0.00 3.00 2.50 2.00 1.50 1.00 0.50 0.00 0.57 0.28 0.05 Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb 2020 2022 2021 Figure 11: Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) per million hours worked Threshold TRIF Rate 2,13 Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb 2020 2021 2022 Threshold TRIF Rate 1.10 0.95 0.70 0.60 0.50 0.40 0.30 0.20 0.10 0.00 3.00 2.50 2.00 1.50 1.00 0.50 0.00 0.57 Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb 2020 2021 2022 Threshold TRIF Rate 0.28 0.05 2,13 ANNUAL REPORT 2022 13 1.10 0.95 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 Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb 2020 2022 2021 Threshold TRIF Rate Figure 12: Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) per million hours worked Health & Social Responsibility Tshipi remains a significant, socially responsible contributor within the Northern Cape economic ecosystem by creating shared value to preserve the social licence to operate. In the FY2022, Tshipi’s social investments have specifically aligned with the following Sustainability Development Goals: 1. No poverty 2. Quality education 3. Gender equality 4. Clean water and sanitation 5. Decent work and economic growth 6. 7. Reduced inequalities 8. Sustainable cities and communities Industry, innovation, and infrastructure One of the key identified Goals, Decent work and economic growth, is to ensure meaningful economic participation. South Africa promotes at least 25% and above minimum local empowerment ownership. In FY2022, Tshipi exceeded the minimum required, with 44.49% of the company owned by historically disadvantaged individuals. Further, about 80% of Tshipi’s total procurement spend is inclusive spend awarded to historically disadvantaged businesses. Tshipi also acknowledges the important role of small businesses in job creation. Since FY2021, Tshipi’s enterprise and supplier development programme has created a pipeline of small and medium enterprises, that are owned by local black people, women and designated groups. During FY2022, Tshipi has invested more than ZAR5 million in the development of small businesses to create a sustainable pipeline. The health and overall wellness of Tshipi employees is a strategic imperative for long term sustainable operations. The approach to health extends beyond striving for zero harm, to promoting employee wellbeing. Since the start of operations, approximately 30,000 medical screenings have been conducted at Tshipi. Screening results consistently indicate that an average >36% of employees, including contractors, present with health issues. Lifestyle Interventions: Targeted campaigns focused on healthy diet (Golden Rules of Health Nutrition) supported with a Dietician on-site, 4-week Drug and Alcohol Awareness campaign, Cancer Screening (Prostate, Breast and Cervical Cancer), ECGs for employees with Chronic diseases. Launched a Sports league with all Northern Cape Mines with Tshipi participating in Soccer and Netball to address sedentary lifestyle. Tshipi also established a running club and will in the future investigate arranging fun walks in conjunction with other charity organisations in the region. Provided Psychological and Social services to employees that require emotional and other support. 14 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 Figure 13: The first Wellness Intervention focusing on dietary education, raising awareness of risks associated with unhealthy eating practices. Awareness and System Improvement Empowering of Wellness Champions; Complete training and issue Certificates to Wellness Champions; Inclusion of Wellness Champions in Health and Safety Committee meetings; Increase visibility of Wellness Champions i.e. Toolbox Talks, photos on Notice Boards etc. Health Information Management System developed and implemented to enable improved monitoring and control of employees presenting with health issues. One Stop For Health Services In order to close the gap that exists within our current health service provision, Tshipi partnered with the Department of Health to bring health services closer to employees in the workplace. The implementation of the MOU with the Department of Health started in March 2019. The programme has decreased the number of defaulters and improved compliance to follow-ups as treatment is always available in the clinic. Employee referrals and sick leave have also decreased as chronically ill employees with uncontrolled readings can now be managed by the clinic.

This block model incorporated data from 20 new drillholes completed in 2021. However, unlike in past periods where Tshipi’s on-going exploration drilling campaign has been aimed at increasing geological confidence in the northwest portions of the deposit, the objective of the FY2022 drilling campaign was to increase geological confidence in the Mineral Resources in the northern and central parts of the deposit within the 3-year Life of Mine plan footprint and therefore expand the Proved Mineral Reserves. As such, all exploration drilling previously planned in the northwest and northeast portions of the Mineral Resource footprint has been deferred to a later date. Consequently, 13 of the 20 new boreholes were located within the Measured Resource sections where mining activity had exposed previously unknown geological structures. Overall, the FY2022 drill hole data addition and updated modelling has resulted in: further refinement of the previous structural interpretation within the Measured and also parts of Inferred sections of the orebody; definition of limits of a previously unknown alteration zone in the west highwall with volume excised from the block model and; insignificant migration of the northern limits of Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources due to 7 historic boreholes all located in the north-east corner of the deposit being excluded from informing classification due to unreliability of the associated analytical data. The recent additional drilling data and modelling update resulted in a net gain of approximately 4.2Mt with approximately 3Mt of this difference attributed to changes in the structural model, hence impacting the associated volumetric contributions. e t a d p U s e v r e s e R e r O d n a s e c r u o s e R l a r e n i M i p i h s T While the block model updates realised a net gain of approximately 4.2Mt, Tshipi mined approximately 3.5 Mt between 28 February 2021 to 28 February 2022. At high level, this suggests that the overall nett gain in the Mineral Resources due to the additional drilling almost equalled the associated mining depletion over the same period. This highlights the overall impact of Tshipi’s decision to defer exploration drilling aimed at conversion of predominantly Inferred Mineral Resources in northeast and northwest corners of the deposit.

The Board recognises that the success of the business depends on the quality and engagement of its people. To ensure the Company continues to succeed and grow, it must attract, motivate and retain skilled Directors, Executives and employees.

EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION GOVERNANCE The information provided in this remuneration report has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its regulations. The information contained within this section provides an overview of the future executive remuneration governance at Jupiter Mines. The Remuneration Report is presented under the following sections: Page 1. Introduction 2. Executive Remuneration Governance 3. Executive Remuneration 4. Non-Executive Remuneration 5. Planned Executive Remuneration Changes for FY2023 6. Statutory Remuneration Disclosures 7. Key Management Personnel Remuneration (Company and consolidated) 8. Other Transactions with Key Management Personnel 1. INTRODUCTION 26 26 27 27 28 29 31 33 This report outlines the Company’s approach to remuneration for its executives. Jupiter Mines’ remuneration report received strikes against it in four consecutive years over 2018 to 2021. The 2021 Annual General Meeting, and subsequent Spill Meeting, resulted in a full change of Board and the departure of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Shareholders had continually voiced concerns over the lack of performance based incentives for executives, independence and structure of the Board, and the annual bonus arrangement of the former CEO. Following feedback from shareholders, the Company is in the process of undertaking a wholesale review of its executive performance and remuneration framework, which will result in changes to executive remuneration components and structure commencing FY2023. i. Remuneration Philosophy The main objective is the attraction and retention of a high-quality Board and executive team, to maximise value of the shareholders’ investment. Remuneration levels will be competitively set to attract, retain and motivate appropriately qualified and experienced Directors and Executives. In determining the level and make up of remuneration levels for Executives of the Company, the remuneration policy will be structured to increase goal congruence between shareholders and Executives and includes the payment of incentives based on achievement of specific goals related to the performance of the Company and also the issue of equity based instruments to encourage alignment of personal and shareholder interests. ii. Role of the Board The Board delegates responsibility in relation to remuneration to the RN Committee, which operates in accordance with the RN Committee Charter and the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its regulations. iii. Role of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee The RN Committee is a committee of the Board. It is responsible for making recommendations to the Board on: The Company’s remuneration policy and structure; Executive remuneration policy for KMP; Remuneration levels of the CEO and KMP; Operation of incentive plans and key performance hurdles for KMP; Equity based remuneration plans for KMP; and, Non-Executive Director (NED) remuneration; ANNUAL REPORT 2022 27 The RN Committee’s objective is to ensure remuneration policies and structures are fair and competitive and aligned with the long-term interests of the company. The RN Committee will periodically obtain independent remuneration information to ensure NED fees and executive remuneration packages are appropriate and in line with the market. 3. EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION The information contained within this section outlines details pertaining to the executive remuneration structure for FY2022. Remuneration is made up of a fixed component as well as a short-term incentive component. iv. Use of Remuneration Advisors i. Total Fixed Remuneration ) 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 Towards the end of FY2022, the RN Committee appointed BDO Reward WA Pty Limited (BDO) as its external remuneration advisor to assist with the current and ongoing review of the overall executive remuneration framework which will result in the Company’s approach to executive pay. BDO’s terms of engagement included specific measures designed to protect its independence. The RN Committee recognises that, to effectively perform its role, it is necessary for BDO to interact with members of the Company’s management. However to ensure BDO remained independent, members of the Company’s management were precluded from requesting services that would be considered to be a “remuneration recommendation” as defined by the Corporations Amendment (improving Accountability on Director and Executive Remuneration) Act 2011. v. Remuneration Report Approval at FY2021 Annual General meeting (AGM) At the Company’s 2021 AGM, the Remuneration Report for FY2021 was voted down by Shareholders or their proxies for the following reasons: i. ii. Insufficiently demanding performance hurdles; Lack of performance based incentives, both short and long term, for executives; iii. Independence and structure of the Board; and iv. Annual bonus arrangement of former CEO. The Acting Chief Executive Officer is entitled to a monthly salary of $20,000. The Chief Financial Officer fixed remuneration is $257,600. ii. Annual Incentive Bonuses As the current Chief Executive Officer is in an acting role, there is no bonus plan in place. The annual bonus for the Chief Financial Officer is discretionary based. iii. Long Term Incentive Bonuses No long-term incentive plan exists for the Executives. 4. NON-EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level that provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain Non-Executive Directors of the highest calibre. The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by shareholders and the manner in which it is apportioned amongst Directors is reviewed annually. Directors’ fees cover all main Board activities. Non- Executive Directors are not entitled to retirement benefits other than statutory superannuation or other statutory required benefits. Non-Executive Directors do not participate in performance related remuneration (share or bonus schemes) designed for Executive Directors or employees. Director fees currently paid to Non-Executive Directors per annum are as follows: Director Fee Committee Fees Director Ian Murray Scott Winter Peter North Patrick Murphy Ben Kim Brian Beem Total Chair Fee $140,000 - - - - - - $55,000 $55,000 $55,000 $55,000 - $140,000 $220,000 $2,500 $5,500 $8,000 $2,500 $2,500 - $21,000 Total $142,500 $60,500 $63,000 $57,500 $57,500 - $381,000 ) 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 28 JUPITER MINES LIMITED 5. PLANNED EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION CHANGES FOR FY2023 As a result of the comprehensive and ongoing review of the Company’s executive remuneration policy and practice, a number of changes will be implemented during FY2023. Completed changes and/or progress towards remuneration objectives will be reported in more detail in the 2023 Remuneration Report, however a summary of the key elements of the planned changes to the executive remuneration approach and at-risk remuneration structure are provided below. Fixed and Total Remuneration Approach 1. Total Fixed Remuneration (TFR) acts as a base level reward for a competent level of performance. It includes cash, compulsory superannuation contributions and any non-monetary benefits and will be based on: (a) The size and complexity of the role; (b) The criticality of the role to successful execution of the business strategy; (c) Role accountabilities; (d) Skills and experience of the individual; and (e) Market pay levels for comparable roles. Executive Remuneration Framework 2. The Total remuneration package will consist of the following elements of pay. Remuneration Elements Purpose Total Fixed Remuneration Pay for meeting role requirements Category Fixed Pay Short Term Incentive Incentive for the achievement of annual objectives Short term Incentive Pay Long Term Incentive Incentive for achievement of sustained business growth (non-market measures) Long Term Incentive Pay Definition of Pay Category Pay linked to the present value or market rate of the role Pay for delivering the annual operational plan for the Company. Short Term Incentive pay is linked to the achievement of short term ‘line-of-sight’ performance goals. It reflects ‘pay for short term performance’. Pay for creating value for shareholders. Reward pay is linked to shareholder returns It reflects ‘pay for results’. ANNUAL REPORT 2022 29 6. STATUTORY REMUNERATION DISCLOSURES Executive Contracts 1.

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 30 May 2022 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 the respective roles and responsibilities of its board and management; and those matters expressly reserved to the board and those delegated to management. Jupiter has adopted a Board Charter that discloses the role and responsibilities of the Board. Under the Board Charter, the Board is responsible for the overall operation and stewardship of the Company and, in particular, is responsible for: oversight of control and accountability systems; appointing and removing the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Company Secretary; approving the annual operating budget; approving and monitoring the progress of major capital and operating expenditure; monitoring compliance with all legal and regulatory obligations; reviewing any risk management system (which may be a series of systems established on a per-project basis); monitoring any executive officer’s performance; and 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 at www.jupitermines. com/about-us/corporate-governance 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 ANNUAL REPORT 2022 35 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. 1.3 1.4 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 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 Melissa North, the Company’s CFO, who is 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. An employment contract will be entered into when a permanent CEO is appointed. The Company Secretary reports directly, and is accountable, to the Board through the Chair of the Board (Chair) 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. 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 36 JUPITER MINES LIMITED Principle ASX Recommendation Comply Comments Given the Company’s main asset is its interest in the Tshipi Borwa Manganese Mine (Tshipi Mine), 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 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 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. 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 ANNUAL REPORT 2022 37 Principle ASX Recommendation Comply Comments 1.6 A listed entity should: Yes (a) have and disclose a process for periodically evaluating the performance of the board, its committees and individual directors; and (b) disclose, in relation to each reporting period, whether a performance evaluation was undertaken in the reporting period in accordance with that process. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee (RN 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 Chair. The same performance review mechanism is also present in the Audit Committee and RN Committee Charters. Jupiter will continue to disclose if and when it has conducted any performance evaluations. 1.7 A listed entity should: (a) have and disclose a process for periodically evaluating the performance of its senior executives; and (b) disclose, in relation to 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: No The Board has established an RN Committee. The RN Committee Charter discloses the RN Committee’s role and responsibilities. The RN Committee presently consists of Scott Winter, Peter North and Patrick Murphy. Mr Winter is an independent and acting executive Director. Mr North and Mr Murphy are non- executive Directors. Mr Winter is the chair 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 (a) have a nomination committee 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 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. 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 38 JUPITER MINES LIMITED Principle ASX Recommendation Comply Comments 2.2 A listed entity should have and disclose a board skills matrix setting out the mix of skills and diversity that the board currently has or is looking to achieve in its membership. Yes Jupiter has drafted a skills matrix in relation to its Board members. 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, association 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, association 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 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 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. The Board considers that Scott Winter and Ian Murray 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 Winter as a Director on 30 July 2021 and Mr Murray appointed on 16 February 2022. A majority of the Board are not independent Directors. Two of the Board’s five Directors, being Scott Winter and Ian Murray, are considered independent. The Company does not consider Bo Sung Kim independent because he is the managing director of POSCO Australia Pty Ltd, a substantial shareholder of Jupiter. The Company does not consider Patrick Murphy independent because of his association with AMCI Group, LLC, a substantial shareholder of Jupiter. The Company does not consider Peter North independent because of his association with Ntsimbintle Holdings Pty Ltd, a substantial 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. The Chair, Ian Murray, is an independent Director. Scott Winter is the Acting CEO and is not the Chair. 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 ANNUAL REPORT 2022 39 2.6 Yes A listed entity should have a program for inducting new directors and provide appropriate professional development opportunities for directors to develop and maintain the skills and knowledge needed to perform their role as directors effectively. 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: 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 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 value 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. 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 40 JUPITER MINES LIMITED Principle ASX Recommendation Comply Comments 3.2 A listed entity should: Yes (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. 3.3 A listed entity should: (a) have and disclose a whistleblower policy; and (b) ensure that the board or a committee of the board is informed of any material incidents reported under that policy. 3.4 A listed entity should: (a) have and disclose an anti-bribery and corruption policy; and (b) ensure that the board or a committee of the board is informed of any material breaches of that policy. Yes 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 Chair. The Company ensures that all incumbent and new personnel have a copy of the Code. It is also available on Jupiter’s website at www.jupitermines.com/about-us/corporate- governance 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 Audit Committee Charter sets out the functions, operating mechanisms and responsibilities of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee presently consists of Peter North, Ian Murray and Bo Sung Kim. Mr North acts as the chair of the Audit Committee. Mr North is not independent. The Audit Committee Charter also requires that all committee members have a working familiarity with basic accounting and finance practices and that at least one member have financial expertise. A copy of the Audit Committee Charter is available on Jupiter’s website at www. jupitermines.com/about-us/corporate- governance Yes As a matter of practice, Jupiter obtains declarations from its CEO and CFO substantially in the form referred to in Recommendation 4.2 before approving its financial statements. (i) has at least three members, all of whom are non-executive directors and a majority of whom are independent directors; and (ii) is chaired by an independent director, who is not the chair of the board, and disclose: (iii) the charter of the committee; (iv) the relevant qualifications and experience of the members of the committee; and (v) in relation to 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 an audit committee, disclose that fact and the processes it employs that independently verify and safeguard the integrity of its corporate reporting, including the processes for the appointment and removal of the external auditor and the rotation of the audit engagement partner. 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. 4.2 4.3 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 CEO and Company Secretary are responsible for reviewing all communications to the market and to ensure they are full and accurate and comply with the Company’s obligations. 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 42 JUPITER MINES LIMITED Principle ASX Recommendation Comply Comments Principle 5 – Make Timely and Balanced Disclosure 5.1 A listed entity should have a written policy for complying with its continuous disclosure obligations under the listing rule 3.1.

Principle 6 – Respect the Rights of Security Holders 6.1 6.2 A listed entity should provide information about itself and its governance to investors via its website. A listed entity should have an investor relations program that facilitates effective two-way communication with investors. Yes Yes Yes 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 Jupiter’s website at www. jupitermines.com/about-us/corporate- governance The Company Secretary, who reports to the Chair, 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. Information about Jupiter and its corporate governance, including copies of the Company’s various corporate governance policies and charters, are available on its website at www. jupitermines.com/about-us. Jupiter has adopted a Shareholder Communications Policy to promote effective communication with Shareholders, ensure all relevant information is disseminated to Shareholders effectively and to encourage the participation of Shareholders at Company general meetings. The Company communicates with Shareholders: following admission to ASX, through releases to the market via the ASX; through Jupiter’s website; through information provided directly to Shareholders; and at general meetings. 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 ANNUAL REPORT 2022 43 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 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 an annual reports and notice of meeting) to the ASX announcements platform. 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 4 4 JUPITER MINES LIMITED Principle ASX Recommendation Comply Comments Principle 7 – Recognise and Manage Risk 7.1 The board of a listed entity should: No (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. 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 and the fact that only Scott Winter holds an acting executive position, 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. 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. 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 ANNUAL REPORT 2022 45 7.3 A listed entity should disclose: Yes (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. 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: the Company has authorisation limits in place for expenditure and payments; 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; 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. 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 46 JUPITER MINES LIMITED Principle ASX Recommendation Comply Comments 7.4 A listed entity should disclose whether it has any material exposure to economic, environmental and social sustainability risks and, if it does, how it manages or intends to manage those risks.

Jupiter’s primary business is the production and export of manganese via its 49.9% beneficial interest in the Tshipi Mine in South Africa. As such, the Company is exposed to the unique risks to which Tshipi is exposed. This includes, but is not limited to, the following key risks: fluctuations in the price of manganese ore; fluctuations in third party contractor costs; any reduction in the global demand for steel; risks arising from mining operations being concentrated at one mine; economic, political or social instability in South Africa may affect operations or profits; and a range of other economic, environmental and social sustainability risks faced by all other mining industry companies in an open economy. The Company has established a RN Committee to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities with respect to: remuneration policies for non–executive Directors; remuneration policies for executive Directors; remuneration policies for executive management; equity participation; human resources policies; and any other matters referred to the RN Committee by the Board. The RN Committee Charter sets out the functions, operating mechanisms and responsibilities of the committee. The RN Committee presently consists of Scott Winter, Peter North and Patrick Murphy. Mr Winter is considered an independent and non- executive Director. Mr Winter acts as the chair 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.

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 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.

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. Basic parent entity financial information has been disclosed at note 22. The financial statements were authorised and issued by the Board of Directors on 30 May 2022. Foreign Currency Translation (i Functional and presentation currency The Group’s consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars ($), which is also the parent company’s functional currency. The 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 initial transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. (ii Translation of interest in Joint Venture 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 2022. 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 8 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. 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 54 JUPITER MINES LIMITED Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are generally measured at their acquisition-date fair values. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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, is reduced for any dividends received, and 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 current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax 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. 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 assets 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 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 any directly attributable overhead expenditure. 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. 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. 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 ANNUAL REPORT 2022 55 e. 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. 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: Financial assets at amortised cost 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 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. 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 56 JUPITER MINES LIMITED 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, external indicators and forward-looking 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. 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. 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. f. 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. g. 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. h. 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. i. 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. j. 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. k. 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(p). 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 Company 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). l. 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. m. 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). 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 ANNUAL REPORT 2022 57 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. n. Trade and Other Payables Trade and other payables are carried at amortised 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. o. Comparative Figures When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial period. p. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements The Directors evaluate estimates and 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 – 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. 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 58 JUPITER MINES LIMITED 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. q. Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations The Group classifies non-current assets and disposal groups as held for sale 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 sale 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 sale 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. Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are not depreciated or amortised once classified as held for sale. Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale 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: Represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations 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 25. 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 The Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) that are relevant to the Group’s operations and effective for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2021. The Group has adopted all the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are mandatory for the current reporting period. It has been determined by the Directors that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Group and, therefore, no change is necessary to accounting policies. Future effects of the implementation of these standards will depend on future details. New and amended accounting standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations issued by the AASB which are not yet mandatorily applicable to the Group have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. The Group has not elected to adopt any new Accounting Standards or Interpretations prior to their applicable date of implementation. There are no standards that are not yet effective and that would be expected to have a material impact on the Group in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions. Note 2: Revenue and other income Marketing fee revenue Gross profit Other income Other income ANNUAL REPORT 2022 59 Consolidated Group February 2022 $ February 2021 $ 7,302,852 7,302,852 819,670 819,670 8,202,796 8,202,796 592,071 592,071 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 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. Sale of Manganese Ore Given the Company only takes legal title 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 is 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. 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: 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; 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; The transaction price can be determined as it is calculated as a fixed percentage of the FOB selling price; There is only one performance obligation in the contract and therefore the whole transaction price has been allocated to this performance obligation; 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 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 60 JUPITER MINES LIMITED 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.

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 2022 $ February 2021 $ 39,158,487 45,649,449 6,193 57,884 60,622,311 46,171,674 43,120 57,884 84,872,013 106,894,989 41,955,308 41,955,308 42,462,258 42,462,258 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, foreign exchange risk and other 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. 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 ANNUAL REPORT 2022 73 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. (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: preparing forward looking cash flow analysis in relation to its operational, investing and financing activities; monitoring undrawn credit facilities; obtaining funding from a variety of sources; maintaining a reputable credit profile; managing credit risk related to financial assets; only investing surplus cash with major financial institutions; and 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 (foreign exchange 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 with exposure to interest rate risk are detailed below (no financial liabilities recognised at the end of the period): Financial Assets Cash and cash equivalents Other current assets Consolidated Group February 2022 $ February 2021 $ 39,158,487 57,884 39,216,371 60,622,311 57,884 60,680,195 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 ANNUAL REPORT 2022 75 (ii) Foreign exchange risk 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 foreign exchange 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: 28 February 2022 AUD 36,236,131 ZAR 2,867,107 USD 55,249 Total $ 39,158,487 Financial Assets (iii) Other price risk 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 and could impact future revenues once operational. However, management monitors current and projected commodity prices.

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. Valuation and disclosure of disposal group held for distribution - Note 1(q) & Note 25 In October 2020, the Directors approved a demerger of its Central Yilgarn Iron Ore assets (“CYIP”) and subsequent initial public offering (“IPO”). The demerger created an ASX listed company, Juno Minerals Ltd. 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; and • Assessing the adequacy of related disclosures in Note 1(b) and Note 10. Our procedures included, amongst others: • Evaluating managements classification, measurement and presentation against the requirements of AASB 5; Juno Minerals Ltd satisfies the scope of AASB 5 Non Current Assets Held for Sale or Distribution and was classified as a disposal group, being a group of assets to be disposed of by sale, or otherwise, together as a group in a single transaction. • Review of managements documentation and supporting contracts with respect to the demerger of Juno Minerals Ltd and evaluated for compliance with accounting standards; Juno Minerals Ltd was successfully listed on the ASX on 12th May 2021 and the demerger resulted in a gain on demerger of $12,642,292 recognised on deconsolidation of the Company. This area is a key audit matter due to the significant gain on demerger recognised and the risk that the Juno demerger has not been accounted for or disclosed in the financial statements correctly. • Reviewed the work completed by experts engaged by Management to assist in completion of the Initial Public Offering of Juno Minerals Ltd; • Engaging internal tax expert to review tax position of the group at period end; and • Assessing the adequacy of related disclosures in Note 1(q) and Note 25.
