There is no doubt that the last 12 months has been challenging for every Australian dealing with COVID-19, and in our industry, this has been heightened further by travel restrictions and very tight demand for drilling rigs and assay results. However, I am very pleased to report that through these difficult circumstances our team has done an exceptional job and we are pleased to provide an update on some recent outstanding developments. Over the last year we have continued to expand and advance our projects in the Victorian Goldfields and our major 1.65Moz Ashburton Gold Project in Western Australia. Your Directors have continued their focus on creating value for shareholders with major acquisitions and targeted exploration programs. In Victoria, we have expanded our exploration footprint with the grant of the Myrtle Gold Project just 20km south of the Fosterville Gold Mine and by entering into a joint venture with Canadian company Novo Resources, that will see accelerated exploration on our Queens Gold Project further to the south over the next few years. In Victoria, we have continued to collaborate with the CSIRO using the UltraFine+TM geochemical sampling process, which is consistent with our strategy of conducting exploration in a smarter, low impact manner and utilising new technologies and science. We completed our second drill program at Castlemaine at the Lightning prospect, successfully extending the strike length to about 2km which demands further attention. This was followed with our first drilling campaign at South Muckleford at the highly prospective Fentimans Reef epizonal gold/antimony prospect. In early 2020, Kalamazoo lodged a tender bid for highly sought exploration ground in the North Central Victorian Goldfields land release, which surrounds the world class Fosterville Gold Mine. We were expecting an announcement of the successful tenderers during 2020/21, however this has been delayed by further Government evaluation, so we continue to wait. In the Pilbara we have made excellent progress led by our WA based Director Paul Adams, who is managing our talented local WA exploration team. During the year, we completed extensive exploration and drilling programs at the Ashburton Gold Project as we look to substantially increase the existing 1.65Moz gold resource and advance project development plans. We have also progressed plans for an extensive drilling program at The Sisters Gold Project, along strike from De Grey’s Tier One 9Moz Mallina Gold Project and we are now waiting on final approvals. In recent months, we have identified significant pegmatite-hosted lithium mineralisation potential at our DOM’s Hill and Marble Bar projects in the Pilbara. With our previous exploration on these projects being primarily focused on gold, the opportunity to expand the lithium potential of these projects, which are in a province hosting the world class Pilgangoora and Wodgina lithium mines, is a terrific bonus for shareholders. I encourage you to review the project details provided in this annual report and thank you for your continued support. Yours sincerely, Luke Reinehr Executive Chairman and CEO ANNUAL REPORT 2021 Page 3 of 71 REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES The 2020/2021 reporting period was a busy period for the Company’s project portfolio both in Victoria and Western Australia. The activities conducted included the completion of the acquisition of the Ashburton Gold Project from Northern Star along with the maiden drilling program. In Victoria, a further drilling program was completed at the Castlemaine Gold Project as well as both a soil geochemistry program and maiden drilling program at the South Muckleford Gold Project. Kalamazoo was also pleased to welcome Novo Resources as a Joint Venture partner on the Queens Project, which forms part of the Castlemaine Gold Project. A maiden drilling program was also designed for The Sisters Gold Project in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Figure 1: Kalamazoo Project Locations VICTORIA CASTLEMAINE GOLD PROJECT The Castlemaine Gold Project consists of three exploration licences, EL006679 (“Wattle Gully”, 70km2), EL006752 (“Wattle Gully South”, 218km2) and EL007112 (“Queens”, 22km2) for a total of 310km2. EL006679 lies immediately east and south of the town of Castlemaine and covers almost the entire historic Castlemaine Goldfield whilst EL006752 lies to the east and south of EL006679 and covers regional geological structures known to be associated with gold potential. EL007112 lies adjacent and to the east of EL006752 (Figure 2). ANNUAL REPORT 2021 Page 4 of 71 REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES Figure 2: Castlemaine and South Muckleford Gold Project locations During the reporting period Kalamazoo completed a further drilling campaign at the Lightning Prospect in the Castlemaine Gold Project (Figure 3). This Prospect is located within the private Pine Plantation in the northern section of EL006679 and approximately 2km south of the Mustang Prospect, where Kalamazoo completed its maiden diamond drilling program in April 20201. The Lightning Prospect was identified in 2019 as one of Kalamazoo’s top ten prospects located within the Castlemaine Gold Project. This assessment was based on historical gold production and records, historic drilling and the results from groundwork, geophysical and geochemical surveys and 3D structural modelling carried out by Kalamazoo. The Lightning Prospect drilling program comprised 1,819m for six holes and was designed to test the 440m strike-extent of prospective structures interpreted to be an analogue of the nearby Wattle Gully Mine, approximately 5km to the south. The drilling results from all six holes confirmed the targeted “Wattle Gully Mine” analogue structure, 1 ASX: KZR 29 April 2020 ANNUAL REPORT 2021 Page 5 of 71 REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES consisting of a west-dipping fault zone up to 10m in thickness with abundant quartz veining, alteration and minor visible gold. The best gold assays recorded were 0.8m at 11.1 g/t Au from 143m,0.4m at 12.3 g/t Au from 139m (LT20DD02W) and 0.55m at 10.6 g/t Au from 143m (LT20DD02)2. Figure 3: Diamond drill rig in operation at the Lightning Prospect To date, Kalamazoo has defined a trend of high-grade gold mineralised structures at the Castlemaine Gold Project that includes the Mustang and Lightning Prospects for a total strike extent of approximately 2.5km. This trend is coincident with the presence of numerous historical mine workings and shafts which further supports the prospectivity of this mineralised extent. Accurate historical production 2 ASX: KZR 1 February 2021 ANNUAL REPORT 2021 Page 6 of 71 REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES records for the area are limited, however mining recoveries in the Lightning Prospect (Nimrod) vicinity were reported to be ~1 oz/t (i.e. ~ 31 g/t) of gold for 23 years (as at 1882)3. In July 2020 the Castlemaine Gold Project was further strengthened by the addition of exploration licence EL007112 (“Queens”). Located on the south-eastern border of Kalamazoo’s Wattle Gully South Project, Queens is considered under-explored as it has not been subjected to modern exploration in recent years and has had only received limited shallow drilling. It also straddles the highly prospective Taradale Fault, encircles GBM Resources Limited’s (ASX: GBZ) Malmsbury goldfield and covers multiple structural extensions of the primary lode gold deposits of this important high-grade gold camp. The Malmsbury goldfield is situated in the eastern part of the prolific Bendigo Zone, approximately 55km south of Kirkland Lake Gold Limited’s (ASX: KLA) high-grade Fosterville Gold Mine. Shortly after the grant of this tenement, Canadian listed gold explorer and developer Novo Resources Corp (“Novo”) (TSX-V: NVO; OTCQX: NSRPF) entered into an Option with Kalamazoo to acquire a 50% interest in the Queens Project4 and to enter into a Joint Venture Agreement (“JV”) with Kalamazoo5. Given the similar geological setting to the Fosterville Gold Mine and historic high-grade gold production, Novo’s Dr. Quinton Hennigh was of the view that the Queens Project was potentially geologically analogous to the high-grade Fosterville epizonal orogenic gold deposit6. Novo subsequently exercised its Option to earn the initial 50% interest and as consideration for the Option exercise, issued 584,215 Novo shares (“Shares”) to Kalamazoo. Under the terms of the Option, Farm In and Joint Venture Agreement (“Agreement”) Novo has the right to earn an additional 20% interest in the Queens Project by incurring $5 million in exploration expenditure (the “Earn-In Amount”) over a five-year period (the “Earn-In Period”). Any expenditure incurred during any year of the Earn-In Period, which surpasses the minimum yearly requirement, will be credited against the subsequent year’s commitment. SOUTH MUCKLEFORD GOLD PROJECT The South Muckleford Gold Project (161km2) is located just 10km west of Kalamazoo’s Castlemaine Gold Project and contains a highly prospective goldfield with proven endowment and historical high-grade gold production. In particular, it covers the regional Muckleford Fault and adjacent historical workings to the west (i.e. hanging-wall position), numerous historical alluvial and hard rock gold mines and the southern strike extent of the Union Hill Gold Mine, at Maldon. Following a concerted program of historical research, field mapping and rock chip and soil sampling, three prospects were identified, and confirmed the existence of a broad epizonal, high grade gold + antimony + arsenic mineralised system over at least two parallel lines of lode with significant strike extents. The largest of these lodes is at Smith’s Reef which has historical surface/shaft mine workings extending for ~1.2km consistent with a coincident Au-Sb-As soil anomaly. The Fentiman’s Reef and the 3 The Argus, 18 October 1882 http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article11556362 4 ASX: KZR 23 September 2020 5 ASX: KZR 23 March 2021 6 ASX: GBZ 31 March 2020 ANNUAL REPORT 2021 Page 7 of 71 REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES newly identified Fentiman’s South Prospect are along a semi-continuous line of historical surface/shaft mine workings that extend for at least 750m, with the soil geochemistry indicating this mineralised trend extends beyond >1km long. A third nearby prospect located to the west of Smith’s Reef, referred to as “Charcoal Gully”, has also been identified from the Ultrafine+TM soil sampling survey (up to 13.8 ppb Au and 146 ppm Sb) completed during 20207. Figure 4: RC drilling at Fentimans Reef prospect, South Muckleford Gold Project Following interpretation of the results of this program, a maiden RC drilling program comprising 29 Reverse Circulation (RC) holes for 4,499m at South Muckleford was designed and completed during the 7 ASX: KZR 22 December 2020 ANNUAL REPORT 2021 Page 8 of 71 REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES year (Figure 4). The focus of this program was to target the three high priority prospects which were recently identified as containing epizonal gold-antimony mineralisation which is closely analogous to that of the nearby Fosterville and Costerfield mines in Central Victoria. Results from this program have now confirmed the existence of several shallow epizonal gold-antimony-arsenic reef structures at all three prospects. Assays and visual inspections from these reef intersections have shown rock textures and widespread gold-antimony-arsenic mineralisation typical of a shallow epizonal style of mineralisation with peak 1m composite assays up to 1.4 g/t gold, 0.25% antimony (including visible stibnite) and 0.5% arsenic8. A follow up diamond drilling program has now been planned for 2H 2021. TARNAGULLA GOLD PROJECT In September-October 2020, Kalamazoo completed a soil sampling program (59 samples) across it’s highly prospective Tarnagulla Gold Project as part of a major regional-scale soil geochemistry sampling program in collaboration with the CSIRO9. Specifically, soil samples were subjected to Ultrafine+TM multielement analysis for major and trace elements in a CSIRO-led collaborative leading-edge research project. These surface geochemistry sampling programs use the latest advanced technologies and research capabilities to assist Kalamazoo to identify and prioritise drill targets across its portfolio of gold exploration projects. These regional-scale soil sampling programs were designed on 200m x 100m grids covering a large number of high priority target areas with known gold mineralisation across Kalamazoo’s Castlemaine, South Muckleford, and Tarnagulla Gold Projects. The target areas have been selected utilising a combination of data including the presence of prospective fault/fold structures, gold mineralised reefs, historical workings, low exploration maturity and historical drill hole records. The results of the Ultrafine+TM multi-element soil geochemistry program revealed a significant 1.4km long linear gold in soil anomaly (>100 ppb Au) that is coincident with a trend of historical high-grade hard rock mine workings8. As a result of this program, Kalamazoo is looking forward to conducting a minimum 2,000m RC drilling program to test along the strike of this significant gold in soil anomaly. The drill sites have been located along existing tracks to minimise disturbance and the program has been submitted for final permitting. The Company anticipates commencing this RC drilling program in Q4 2021. MYRTLE GOLD PROJECT Kalamazoo was pleased to add the Myrtle Gold Project (EL007323) to its Victorian assets (Figure 5) during the reporting period. Covering 44km2 of highly prospective goldfields geology and located just 15km north-east of Kalamazoo’s Castlemaine Gold Project it is strategically located on the southern border of the North Central Victorian Goldfields Tender Block 4 and adjacent to Kirkland Lake Gold’s 8 ASX: KZR 22 July 2021 9 ASX: KZR 19 October 2021 ANNUAL REPORT 2021 Page 9 of 71 REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES world-class Fosterville Gold Mine located 30km to the north. The addition of this project has now expanded Kalamazoo’s total exploration tenure in the prolific Bendigo Zone to approximately 515km2. Figure 5: Map of the Central Victorian Goldfields showing the location of Kalamazoo’s Myrtle Gold Project (EL007323) with respect to its nearby Castlemaine, South Muckleford and Queens JV Gold Projects. Also of note, is its location immediately adjacent to the southern margin of NCVG Tender Block 4.

Located 35km SE of Paraburdoo townsite and within the prospective Nanjilgardy Fault Zone following the southern margin of the Pilbara Craton (Figure 6) the project covers 217km2 and consists of Mining Leases M52/639, M52/640, M52/734 and M52/735 that produced 350,000oz Au gold between 1998-2004, and Exploration Licences 52/1941, 52/3024 and 52/3025. The project has a current Mineral Resource Estimate (JORC Code (2012)) of 20.8Mt @2.5g/t Au for 1.65Moz11 hosted largely in down plunge extensions of the historical mined open pits. 10 ASX: KZR 24 August 2020 11 ASX: KZR 23 June 2020 ANNUAL REPORT 2021 Page 11 of 71 REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES Kalamazoo completed its maiden drilling program of 15 Reverse Circulation (RC) holes for 5,677m and one diamond hole for 104m at the Project in late December 2020 (Figure 8)12. This initial program focused around the Waugh and Connie’s Find Prospects on the northern side of Diligence Dome and at Peake and Peake West on the southern side of the dome. At Waugh, drilling intersected thick quartz- and-ironstone units, characteristic of “Waugh Type” mineralisation with best intersections comprising 9m at 5.52g/t Au, 9m at 3.03g/t Au, 9m at 4.03g/t Au and 7m at 4.25g/t Au (Figure 7). Figure 7: Location map of the Waugh Pit with gold mineralised intercepts from the Waugh Program drill holes completed in December 2020 and historical drill holes The second drilling program commenced in April 2020 and has been designed to test several areas that demonstrate the potential to host additional shallow, oxide and non-refractory gold mineralisation, consistent with Kalamazoo’s strategy to increase the resource base. The Phase II drilling program is targeting extensions to mineralised trends in shallow locations east and west of the Waugh Open Pit and within a newly interpreted structure at Connie’s Find. Several high- grade steeply dipping, cross-cutting NW-striking mineralised structures at the Peake Prospect will be followed up as well as bedding sub-parallel mineralisation at the nearby Titus Prospect (Figure 9). Drilling at West Olympus will test a significantly mineralised north-south striking structure. 12 ASX: KZR 5 January 2021 ANNUAL REPORT 2021 Page 12 of 71 REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES New discoveries are also being targeted in aircore drilling beneath shallow cover at St Helens and below Cenozoic cover at Petra, with both prospects considered poorly to untested by current drill coverage. A new prospect is also targeted in RC drilling below a strongly weathered regolith at Corfu, which shares many geological characteristics of the Mt Olympus deposit.

The Project is considered prospective for epigenetic gold mineralisation associated with the Wohler Shear Zone (a prospective splay from the Tabba, Mallina, Withnell and Berghaus Shear Zone complex). Previous work by Kalamazoo defined a gold soil anomaly over 3km long with a maximum 80ppb Au13 across the major Wohler Shear Zone corridor that was is open to the north east and south west. Two gold nuggets were also found south west along strike from the gold soil anomaly14. Following on from these results, Kalamazoo completed a project wide soil geochemical survey across the interpreted extent of the Wohler Shear Zone corridor over 14km of strike at 200m x 100m spacing for ~2,200 samples15. Using CSIRO’s newly developed UltraFine+TM multi-element analysis for major and trace elements, this extended and refined the initial survey, resulting in gold results of up to 83ppb Au identified along the Wohler Shear. Within the eastern part of the sampling grid, a broad 2.7km x 1.0km gold anomaly (up to 70ppb Au) is coincident with a north-south offset (Figure 10). Anomalous Au correlates with elevated As, Ag, Zn, Pb, and Cu.

Following these campaigns, Kalamazoo designed a ~4,900m RC and ~800m diamond drilling campaign (~5,700m in total) and is continuing to advance its heritage and land access agreements for the project to get underway as soon as practicable. DOM’S HILL PROJECT The DOM’s Hill Project in the East Pilbara WA comprises exploration licences E45/4722, E45/4887, E45/4919 and E45/5146 and licence applications E45/5934, E45/5935 and E45/5943 covering 125km2. Kalamazoo completed pXRF analyses of 732 soil sample pulps, previously collected within E45/5146 for gold exploration purposes, for indications of potential LCT pegmatite mineralisation during the year. These 732 soil samples were collected in late 2020 as part of a gold-focused exploration program and were originally submitted for Ultrafine+TM multi-element analysis (Figure 11). However, the Ultrafine+TM method utilises an aqua regia digestion which is sub-optimal for the detection of lithium and associated path finder elements. Consequently, these pulps were recently re-analysed with a pXRF unit involving a specialised “Li Index” function developed by Portable Spectral Services Pty Ltd. The pXRF Li Index provides a proxy for lithium content via a correlation with a suite of five elements (Rb, Nb, Ta, Ga, and Cs) that are resolvable by pXRF and calibrated against certified reference materials. Note that these soil samples were collected on a broad 400m x 100m spaced grid, which is considered “regional-scale” for a first pass reconnaissance lithium exploration program. 16 ASX: KZR 3 June 2020 ANNUAL REPORT 2021 Page 16 of 71 REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES Figure 11: Location of Kalamazoo’s lithium exploration projects at DOM’s Hill and Marble Bar, East Pilbara Region WA. Note that Kalamazoo has gold rights only in respect to E45/4724 ANNUAL REPORT 2021 Page 17 of 71 REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES MARBLE BAR PROJECT The Marble Bar Project is located just 10km from the Marble Bar township in the Pilbara and consists of exploration licences E45/4724, E45/4700 and licence application E45/5970 for a total landholding of 125km2. As with the nearby DOM’s Hill Project, following a technical review during the year the Company was pleased to report that the Marble Bar tenement E45/4700 also demonstrates significant lithium exploration potential. This also led to a new tenement application E45/5970 (the Company holds the gold, not lithium, rights to E45/4724). Kalamazoo considers this area to be highly prospective for lithium mineralisation due to its favourable proximity to the margin of the Moolyella tin and tantalum alluvial field, which includes known cassiterite- bearing pegmatites. Furthermore, within these tenements, there are historical reports of mapped pegmatites and lithium occurrences. As with the DOM’s Hill Project, Kalamazoo intends to undertake lithium exploration across this project area through a systematic process of large, detailed soil sampling programs and field reconnaissance to identify high priority targets for follow-up drill testing (Figure 12).

Greenhouse Gas and Energy Data Reporting Requirements The Directors have considered compliance with the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 which requires entities to report annual greenhouse gas emissions and energy use.

ANNUAL REPORT 2021 Page 23 of 71 DIRECTORS’ REPORT REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) The Directors present the Kalamazoo Resources Limited 2021 Remuneration Report, outlining key aspects of the Company’s remuneration policy and framework, and remuneration awarded this year. The report contains the following sections: a) Key management personnel covered in this report b) Remuneration governance and the use of remuneration consultants c) Executive remuneration policy and framework d) Relationship between remuneration and the Company’s performance e) Non-executive director remuneration policy f) Voting and comments made at the Company’s last Annual General Meeting g) Details of remuneration h) Service agreements i) Details of share-based compensation and bonuses j) k) Loans to key management personnel l) Other transactions with key management personnel. Equity instruments held by key management personnel a) Key management personnel covered in this report Non-Executive and Executive Directors (see pages 22 to 23 for details about each director) Name Position Luke Reinehr Angus Middleton Paul Adams Executive Chairman / Chief Executive Officer Non-Executive Director Executive Director Other key management personnel Name Position Bernard Crawford Chief Financial Officer and Company Secretary b) Remuneration governance and the use of remuneration consultants The Company does not have a Remuneration Committee. Remuneration matters are handled by the full Board of the Company. In this respect the Board is responsible for: • • • the over-arching executive remuneration framework; the operation of the incentive plans which apply to executive directors and senior executives (the executive team), including key performance indicators and performance hurdles; remuneration levels of executives; and • non-executive director fees. The objective of the Board is to ensure that remuneration policies and structures are fair and competitive and aligned with the long-term interests of the Company. In addition, all matters of remuneration are handled in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 requirements, especially with regard to related party transactions. That is, none of the Directors participate in any deliberations regarding their own remuneration or related issues. Independent external advice is sought from remuneration consultants when required, however no advice was sought during the period ended 30 June 2021. ANNUAL REPORT 2021 Page 24 of 71 DIRECTORS’ REPORT c) Executive remuneration policy and framework In determining executive remuneration, the Board aims to ensure that remuneration practices are: • • • • competitive and reasonable, enabling the Company to attract and retain key talent; aligned to the Company’s strategic and business objectives and the creation of shareholder value; transparent and easily understood; and acceptable to shareholders. All executives receive consulting fees or a salary, part of which may be taken as superannuation, and from time to time, options. The Board reviews executive packages annually by reference to the executive’s performance and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries. All remuneration paid to specified executives is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed. Options are valued using the Black Scholes option pricing model. d) Relationship between remuneration and the Company’s performance Emoluments of Directors are set by reference to payments made by other companies of similar size and industry, and by reference to the skills and experience of Directors. Fees paid to Non-Executive Directors are not linked to the performance of the Company. This policy may change once the exploration phase is complete and the Company is generating revenue. At present the existing remuneration policy is not impacted by the Company’s performance including earnings and changes in shareholder wealth (e.g. changes in share price). The Board has not set short term performance indicators, such as movements in the Company’s share price, for the determination of Non-Executive Director emoluments as the Board believes this may encourage performance which is not in the long-term interests of the Company and its shareholders. The Board has structured its remuneration arrangements in such a way it believes is in the best interests of building shareholder wealth. The Board believes participation in the Company’s Incentive Option Plan motivates key management and executives with the long-term interests of shareholders. e) Non-executive director remuneration policy On appointment to the Board, all Non-Executive Directors enter into a service agreement with the Company in the form of a letter of appointment. The letter summarises the Board policies and terms, including remuneration relevant to the office of Director. The Board policy is to remunerate Non-Executive Directors at commercial market rates for comparable companies for their time, commitment and responsibilities. Non-Executive Directors receive a Board fee but do not receive fees for chairing or participating on Board committees. Board members are allocated superannuation guarantee contributions as required by law, and do not receive any other retirement benefits. From time to time, some individuals may choose to sacrifice their salary or consulting fees to increase payments towards superannuation. The maximum annual aggregate Non-Executive Directors’ fee pool limit is $250,000 as disclosed in the Company’s Prospectus dated 3 October 2016. ANNUAL REPORT 2021 Page 25 of 71 DIRECTORS’ REPORT Fees for Non-Executive Directors are not linked to the performance of the Company. Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration may also include an incentive portion consisting of options, subject to approval by shareholders. f) Voting and comments made at the Company’s last Annual General Meeting Kalamazoo Resources Limited received more than 99% of “yes” votes on its remuneration report for the 2020 financial year. The Company did not receive any specific feedback at the Annual General Meeting or throughout the year on its remuneration practices. g) Details of remuneration The following table shows details of the remuneration received by the Company’s key management personnel for the current and previous financial year.

In the instance of serious misconduct, the Company can terminate employment at any time. i) Details of share-based compensation Options Options over ordinary shares in Kalamazoo Resources Limited are granted under the Incentive Option Plan (“IOP”). Participation in the IOP and any vesting criteria are at the Board’s discretion and no individual has a contractual right to participate in the IOP or to receive any guaranteed benefits. During the financial year 3,250,000 Options were issued to employees. All Options vested immediately and were not subject to performance conditions as the grant of Options is considered as a cost effective and efficient reward and incentive as opposed to other alternative forms of incentive. The fair value of options at grant date are independently determined using an option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option. ANNUAL REPORT 2021 Page 27 of 71 DIRECTORS’ REPORT The terms and conditions of each grant of options affecting remuneration in the current or future reporting periods are set out below: Option series Number granted Grant date Vesting date Expiry date Exercise price 4,000,000 3,000,000 2,000,000 1,500,000 1,000,000 1,500,000 14 Nov 2018 13 Nov 2019 14 Nov 2018 13 Nov 2019 14 Nov 2018 13 Nov 2019 14 Nov 2018 30 Nov 2021 13 Nov 2019 30 Nov 2022 14 Nov 2018 30 Nov 2021 13 Nov 2019 30 Nov 2022 14 Nov 2018 30 Nov 2021 13 Nov 2019 30 Nov 2022 $0.25 $0.42 $0.25 $0.42 $0.25 $0.42 Value of options at grant date $218,280 $496,800 $109,140 $248,400 $54,570 $248,400 Directors L Reinehr L Reinehr A Middleton A Middleton P Adams P Adams Executives B Crawford B Crawford H M H M H M G L 1,000,000 750,000 17 Jul 2018 15 Oct 2019 30 Nov 2021 17 Jul 2018 15 Oct 2019 30 Nov 2022 $0.25 $0.42 $57,320 $101,100 Further information on the fair value of share options and assumptions is set out in Note 24 to the financial statements. Performance rights Performance Rights over ordinary shares in Kalamazoo Resources Limited are granted under the Incentive Option Plan (“IOP”). Participation in the IOP and any vesting criteria are at the Board’s discretion and no individual has a contractual right to participate in the IOP or to receive any guaranteed benefits. The Performance Rights vest once the specific milestones (outlined below) have been met. The Company believes that the issue of Performance Rights aligns the efforts of Directors and employees in seeking to achieve growth in the Company’s share price and in the creation of Shareholder value. The Board also believes that incentivising with Performance Rights is a prudent means of conserving the Company's available cash reserves. During the financial year 2,125,000 Class A and 2,125,000 Class B Performance Rights were issued. The Performance Rights issued to Directors were approved by Shareholders at the 2020 Annual General Meeting. Performance Rights with non-market based milestones can only be exercised following the satisfaction of those milestones, a change of control or winding up occurring, or a takeover bid becoming unconditional. Assuming that the milestones are met, the value of a Performance Right is the value of an ordinary share as at the grant date. However, the milestones for the Performance Rights were intentionally set as stretch targets and accordingly the Directors have determined that it is more likely than not that the milestones will not be achieved. Therefore, in accordance with AASB 2: Share-based Payment no value has been recognised for the Performance Rights.

ANNUAL REPORT 2021 Page 36 of 71 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 1: CORPORATE INFORMATION The financial report of Kalamazoo Resources Limited for the year ended 30 June 2021 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 23 September 2021. Kalamazoo Resources Limited is a for-profit company incorporated in Australia and limited by shares which are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. The nature of the operation and principal activities of the entity are described in the attached Directors’ Report. The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below and have been applied consistently to all periods presented in the financial statements. NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Australian Accounting Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001. Compliance with IFRS The financial statements of Kalamazoo Resources Limited also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). New and amended accounting standards and interpretations adopted by the Company No new standards or interpretations relevant to the operations of the Company have come into effect for the reporting period. New accounting standards and interpretations The amended accounting standards and interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board during the year that were mandatory were adopted. None of these amendments or interpretations materially affected any of the amounts recognised or disclosures in the current or prior year. The following IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) agenda decisions were adopted during the year. The IFRIC agenda decision on Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) arrangements The IFRIC has issued two final agenda decisions which impact SaaS arrangements: • Customer’s right to receive access to the supplier’s software hosted on the cloud (March 2019). This decision considers whether a customer receives a software asset at the contract commencement date or a service over the contract term. • Configuration or customisation costs in a cloud computing arrangement (April 2021). This decision discusses whether configuration or customisation expenditure relating to SaaS arrangements can be recognised as an intangible asset and if not, over what time period the expenditure is expensed. The adoption of the above agenda decisions has not had a material impact on the Company. ANNUAL REPORT 2021 Page 37 of 71 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) a) Basis of measurement Historical cost convention These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except where stated. Critical accounting estimates The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed where appropriate. b) Going concern These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Directors have prepared a cash flow forecast, which indicates that the Company will have sufficient cash flows to meet all commitments and working capital requirements for the 12 month period from the date of this report. Based on the cash flow forecast the directors are satisfied that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate. Given the Company’s history of raising capital to date, the Directors are confident of the Company’s ability to raise additional funds as and when they are required. The Company is continuing to review the ongoing situation relating to the COVID-19 pandemic and the implications for the health and wellbeing of our employees, contractors and stakeholders. The Company has been pro-active with respect to its response to COVID-19 and has developed operational procedures and plans in line with official health advice and government directives. Kalamazoo will continue to operate within these guidelines and will adapt its procedures as required. The impact on the Company’s operations to date has not been material and whilst the situation with regards to COVID-19 remains uncertain, the Company remains an active explorer across its projects and does not foresee, at this time, that it will have a material impact on future operations. ANNUAL REPORT 2021 Page 38 of 71 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) c) Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions The application of accounting policies requires the use of judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if it affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. Exploration and evaluation expenditure carried forward The recoverability of the carrying amount of exploration and evaluation expenditure carried forward has been reviewed by the Directors. The recoverability of the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on the successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective area of interest. The Company reviews the carrying value of exploration and evaluation expenditure on a regular basis to determine whether economic quantities of reserves have been found or whether further exploration and evaluation work is underway or planned to support continued carry forward of capitalised costs. This assessment requires judgement as to the status of the individual projects and their estimated recoverable amount. Share-based payment transactions The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees and Directors by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by utilising a Black Scholes model, using the assumptions detailed in Note 24. The Company values Performance Rights by reference to its best available estimate of the number of Performance Rights it expects to vest and revises that estimate, if necessary, if subsequent information indicates that the number of Performance Rights expected to vest differs from previous estimates. The vesting conditions for the Class A and Class B Performance Rights were intentionally set as stretch targets and accordingly the Directors have determined that it is more likely than not that the milestones will not be achieved. Therefore, in accordance with AASB 2: Share-based Payment no value has been recognised for the Performance Rights. Income tax Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses and deductible temporary differences only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. No deferred tax asset has been recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position in respect of the amount of either these losses or other deferred tax expenses. ANNUAL REPORT 2021 Page 39 of 71 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) d) Segment reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors of Kalamazoo Resources Limited. e) Functional and presentation currency The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency. f) Leases Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Company as lessee are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to profit or loss as incurred over the period of the lease. Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the Company as lessee are classified as finance leases. At the commencement date of a lease, the Company recognises a liability to make lease payments (i.e. the lease liability) and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term (i.e. the right-of-use asset). The Company separately recognises the interest expense on the lease liability and the depreciation expense on the right-of-use asset. g) Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment. 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 Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred. Depreciation is calculated using the diminishing value and prime cost methods to allocate their cost, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives. The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss. ANNUAL REPORT 2021 Page 40 of 71 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) h) Employee benefits Short-term obligations Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service, are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liability for annual leave and accumulating sick leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and measured at the rates paid or payable. All other short-term employee benefit obligations are presented as payables. The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the Statement of Financial Position if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting date, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur. Other long-term obligations The liability for long service leave and annual leave which is not expected to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service, is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the end of the reporting period on high quality corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. Share-based payments The Company provides benefits to employees of the Company in the form of share options. The fair value of options granted is recognised as an employee benefits expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and spread over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options. The fair value of the options granted is measured using a Black Scholes option pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number that vest. The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share. ANNUAL REPORT 2021 Page 41 of 71 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Performance rights The Company provides benefits to Directors and employees of the Company in the form of Performance Rights. The Company values Performance Rights by reference to its best available estimate of the number of Performance Rights it expects to vest and revises that estimate, if necessary, if subsequent information indicates that the number of Performance Rights expected to vest differs from previous estimates. The vesting conditions for the Class A and Class B Performance Rights were intentionally set as stretch targets and accordingly the Directors have determined that it is more likely than not that the milestones will not be achieved. Therefore, in accordance with AASB 2: Share-based Payment no value has been recognised for the Performance Rights. Termination benefits Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated before the normal retirement date, or when an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Company recognises termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either terminating the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal or providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period are discounted to present value. No termination benefits, other than accrued benefits and entitlements, were paid during the period. i) Goods and Services Tax (GST) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. 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 taxation authority 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 which are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective interest method. b) Employee benefits expense Wages, salaries, directors’ fees and other remuneration expenses Superannuation contributions Share-based payments expense (Note 24) Transfer to capitalised exploration expenditure 2021 $ 1,374,507 101,578 1,012,475 (1,099,903) 2020 $ 640,267 48,877 1,530,400 (396,681) Total employee benefits expense 1,388,657 1,822,663 c) Other expenses Secretarial, professional and audit costs Corporate consultants Travel and promotion ASX Occupancy costs Legal Other expenses Total other expenses NOTE 4: SEGMENT INFORMATION 2021 $ 230,457 341,035 31,548 60,399 10,011 18,377 220,501 2020 $ 183,457 157,384 151,273 52,007 33,696 9,841 128,290 912,328 715,948 The Company operates in one geographical segment, being Australia and in one operating category, being mineral exploration. Therefore, information reported to the chief operating decision maker (the Board of Kalamazoo Resources Limited) for the purposes of resource allocation and performance assessment is focused on mineral exploration within Australia. The Board has considered the requirements of AASB 8: Operating Segments and the internal reports that are reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in allocating resources and have concluded at this time that there are no separately identifiable segments.

At 30 June 2021, Kalamazoo Resources Limited had $14,722,545 (2020: $8,675,334) of tax losses that are available indefinitely for offset against future taxable profits subject to the satisfaction of the loss tests. No deferred tax asset has been recognised in respect of either these tax losses or other deferred tax expenses because it is not probable, at this time, that future taxable profits will be available which the Company can utilise. The utilisation of tax losses is dependent on the Company satisfying the continuity of ownership test or the same business test at the time the tax losses are applied against taxable income. NOTE 6: CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash at bank and on hand Short-term deposits 2021 $ 800,997 5,050,000 2020 $ 1,352,122 7,550,000 5,850,997 8,902,122 Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, and other short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less. The weighted average interest rate for the year was 0.50% (2020: 0.86%). The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk is set out in Note 23. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the end of the reporting period is the carrying amount of each class of cash and cash equivalents mentioned above. NOTE 7: TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES Current GST receivable Snake Well Gold Project sale proceeds receivable 2021 $ 203,802 150,000 2020 $ 144,833 3,135,207 353,802 3,280,040 In February 2019, the Company completed the sale of its Snake Well Gold Project (“Project”) to Adaman Resources Pty Ltd (“Adaman”) for $7 million in cash to be paid in instalments to 31 December 2020. As at 30 June 2021, $6.85 million of the consideration had been paid with $150,000 outstanding. The carrying value of the non-current instalment payments due (as at 30 June 2019) were adjusted to their present value amount. The present value adjustment at 30 June 2019 was fully unwound for the year ended 30 June 2021 to reflect the current nature of the receivable and is shown as “Finance income” at Note 3 a). Trade and other receivables are normally due for settlement within 30 days. They are presented as current assets unless collection is not expected for more than 12 months after the reporting date. The Company’s financial risk management objectives and policies are set out in Note 23. Due to the short-term nature of these receivables their carrying value is assumed to approximate their fair value.

Costs incurred before the Company has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. Exploration and evaluation assets are only recognised if the rights to the area of interest are current and either: a) the expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation or from sale of the area of interest; or b) activities in the area of interest have not at the reporting date reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing. Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability, and facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. For the purposes of impairment testing, exploration and evaluation assets are allocated to cash-generating units to which the exploration activity relates. The cash generating unit shall not be larger than the area of interest. Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of minerals in an area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified to mineral property and development assets within property, plant and equipment. When an area of interest is abandoned or the Directors decide that it is not commercial, any accumulated costs in respect of that area are written off in the financial period the decision is made. ANNUAL REPORT 2021 Page 46 of 71 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 9: EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION (Continued) Significant estimate and judgement There is some subjectivity involved in the carry forward of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure or, where appropriate, the write off to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, however management give due consideration to areas of interest on a regular basis and are confident that decisions to either write off or carry forward such expenditure fairly reflect the prevailing situation. NOTE 10: FINANCIAL ASSETS Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income Opening balance Acquisition Change in fair value Closing balance 2021 $ - 2,030,168 (665,788) 1,364,380 2020 $ - - - - In September 2020 the Company granted Canadian listed gold explorer and developer Novo Resources Corp (“Novo”) (TSX-V: NVO, OTCQX: NSRPF) an Option to earn an initial 50% interest, then earn a further 20% interest, in the Company’s Queens Project (EL007112) in Victoria. The consideration for the Option was 24,883 Novo common shares with Novo having a six-month period in which to exercise its Option. The value of the shares at acquisition was $90,574. In March 2021 Novo exercised their Option to earn their 50% interest and issued the Company with a further 584,215 Novo common shares, which had a value at the date of acquisition of $1,939,594. The Company offset the consideration against the carrying value of the asset and also recognised a gain on the disposal of its 50% interest of $1,921,192. Financial assets are recognised and derecognised on settlement date where the purchase or sale of an investment is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the investment within the time-frame established by the market concerned. They are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs, except for those financial assets classified as fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss. The Company classifies its financial assets at fair value though other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”). The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. For investments in equity instruments, the classification depends on whether the Company has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at FVOCI. ANNUAL REPORT 2021 Page 47 of 71 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 10: FINANCIAL ASSETS (Continued) Financial assets at OCI For assets measured at FVOCI, gains and losses will be recorded in other comprehensive income. There is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognised in profit or loss as other income when the Company’s right to receive payments is established. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVOCI are not reported separately from other changes in fair value. The Company has elected to measure its listed equities at FVOCI. Assets in this category are subsequently measured at fair value. The fair values of quoted investments are based on current bid prices in an active market.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Ordinary shares have the right to receive dividends as declared, and in the event of winding up the Company, to participate in the proceeds from the sale of all surplus assets in proportion to the number of and amounts paid up on shares held. Ordinary shares entitle their holder to one vote, either in person or by proxy, at a meeting of the Company.

Diluted earnings per share Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares, and the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The issue of potential ordinary shares is antidilutive when their conversion to ordinary shares would increase earnings per share or decrease loss per share from continuing operations. The calculation of diluted earnings per share has therefore not assumed the conversion, exercise, or other issue of potential ordinary shares that would have an antidilutive effect on earnings per share.

Should the Company achieve a 50,000oz Au JORC Resource within five years on any of the tenements the subject of the Tenement Sale Agreement, then the Company must pay $1,000,000 to the vendors. The Company may elect to issue its ordinary shares to the value of $1,000,000 (at the then current 5 day VWAP less 20%) or cash or a combination of both. In August 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of the Ashburton Gold Project from Northern Star Resources Limited (ASX: NST) (“Northern Star”) consisting of Mining Leases M52/639, M52/640, M52/734 and M52/735 and Exploration Licences E52/1941, E52/3024 and E52/3025. Under the terms of acquisition, Kalamazoo will pay Northern Star $5.0M on mining of the first 250,000 tonnes of Ore, a 2% Net Smelter Royalty (“NSR”) on the first 250,000oz of gold produced, with a 0.75% NSR on any subsequent gold produced from the tenements. The same NSR’s will also apply on any other metals produced from the tenements. A pre-existing 1.75% royalty on gold production (excluding the first 250,000oz) is also applicable across M52/639, M52/640, M52/734 and M52/735 and E52/1941. None of these amounts have been recognised in the 30 June 2021 financial statements due to the high level of uncertainty around future events in order to trigger these payments. There are no other material contingent assets or liabilities as at 30 June 2021. NOTE 21: EVENTS OCCURRING AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD There have been no events subsequent to the reporting date which are sufficiently material to warrant disclosure. ANNUAL REPORT 2021 Page 54 of 71 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 22: COMMITMENTS In order to maintain an interest in the exploration tenements in which the Company is involved, the Company is committed to meet the conditions under which the tenements were granted. The timing and amount of exploration expenditure commitments and obligations of the Company are subject to the minimum expenditure commitments required as per the Mining Act 1978 (Western Australia), and the Mineral Resources (Sustainable Development) Act 1990 (Victoria) and may vary significantly from the forecast based upon the results of the work performed which will determine the prospectivity of the relevant area of interest. These obligations are not provided for in the financial report and are payable as follows: Exploration expenditure Within one year After one year but not more than five years Greater than five years 2021 $ 2020 $ 848,145 2,072,814 3,164,070 956,644 2,247,974 3,307,444 6,085,029 6,512,062 If the Company decides to relinquish certain exploration tenements and/or does not meet these obligations, assets recognised in the statement of financial position may require review to determine the appropriateness of carrying values. The sale, transfer or farm-out of exploration rights to third parties will reduce or extinguish these obligations. NOTE 23: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES Financial Risk Management Overview The Company has exposure to the following risks from their use of financial instruments: Foreign currency risk Interest rate risk • • Credit risk • • Commodity risk Liquidity risk • • Market risk This note presents information about the Company’s exposure to each of the above risks, their objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital. The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. ANNUAL REPORT 2021 Page 55 of 71 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 23: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (Continued) Risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities. The Board oversees how management monitors compliance with the Company’s risk management policies and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company. The Company’s principal financial instruments are tabled below: Financial assets Current Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Non-current Financial assets at fair value through OCI Financial liabilities Current Trade and other payables Lease liabilities Non-current Lease liabilities Interest rate risk 2021 $ 2020 $ 5,850,997 353,802 6,204,799 1,364,380 1,364,380 1,624,958 108,299 1,733,257 187,594 187,594 8,902,122 3,280,040 12,182,162 - - 772,286 77,364 849,650 155,257 155,257 Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument or cash flows associated with the instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. Interest rate risk arises from fluctuations in interest bearing financial assets and liabilities that the Company uses. Interest bearing assets comprise cash and cash equivalents which are considered to be short-term liquid assets. It is the Company’s policy to settle trade payables within the credit terms allowed and therefore not incur interest on overdue balances. ANNUAL REPORT 2021 Page 56 of 71 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 23: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (Continued) The following table sets out the carrying amount, by maturity, of the financial instruments that are exposed to interest rate risk: Floating interest rate $ Fixed interest rate maturing in Over 1 to 5 years $ More than 5 years $ 1 year or less $ 2021 Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Weighted average interest rate Financial liabilities Trade and other payables Lease liabilities Weighted average interest rate 2020 Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables - - - - - - - - 5,050,000 - 5,050,000 0.56% - - - - 1,323,164 - 1,323,164 7,550,000 - 7,550,000 Weighted average interest rate 0.10% 1.39% Financial liabilities Trade and other payables Lease liabilities Weighted average interest rate - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Non- interest bearing $ Total $ 800,897 353,802 1,154,699 5,850,997 353,802 6,204,799 - - 1,624,958 295,893 1,920,851 1,624,958 295,893 1,920,851 - - 28,958 3,280,040 3,308,998 8,902,122 3,280,040 12,182,162 - - 772,286 232,621 1,004,907 772,286 232,621 1,004,907 - - ANNUAL REPORT 2021 Page 57 of 71 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 23: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (Continued) Sensitivity analysis for interest rate exposure A change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased/(decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below: Impact on profit/(loss) and equity Increase of 100 basis points Decrease of 100 basis points Credit risk 2021 $ 48,092 (48,092) 2020 $ 48,915 (48,915) Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Company’s receivables from customers and investment securities. The Company trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties. It is the Company policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Company’s exposure to bad debts is not significant. The maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying value of the receivable, net of any provision for doubtful debts. With respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the Company, which comprise cash and cash equivalents, the Company’s exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counter party, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. This risk is minimised by reviewing term deposit accounts from time to time with approved banks of a sufficient credit rating which is -AA and above. Exposure to credit risk The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is tabled below. Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Foreign currency risk 2021 $ 5,850,997 353,802 6,204,799 2020 $ 8,902,122 3,280,040 12,182,162 The Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk is minimal at this stage of its operations. Commodity price risk The Company’s exposure to commodity price risk is minimal at this stage of its operations. ANNUAL REPORT 2021 Page 58 of 71 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 23: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (Continued) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation. The Company’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility. The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities: 2021 Trade and other payables Lease liabilities 2020 Trade and other payables Lease liabilities Less than 6 months $ Total contractual cash flows $ Carrying amount $ 1,624,958 1,624,958 1,624,958 56,284 295,893 295,893 1,681,242 1,920,851 1,920,851 772,286 32,626 772,286 232,621 772,286 232,621 804,912 1,004,907 1,004,907 Fair value of financial assets and liabilities The fair value of cash and cash equivalents and non-interest bearing financial assets and financial liabilities of the Company is equal to their carrying value. Market risk Price risk The Company’s exposure to equity securities price risk arises from investments held by the Company and classified in the Statement of Financial Position as either derivative financial instruments, or financial assets at FVOCI. Sensitivity analysis for price risk A change of 10% in the price of securities held at reporting date on the Company’s equity and/or profit or loss by is shown below: Impact on profit/(loss) and equity Increase of 10% Decrease of 10% 2021 $ 136,438 (136,438) 2020 $ - - ANNUAL REPORT 2021 Page 59 of 71 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 23: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (Continued) Fair value of financial assets and liabilities The fair value of cash and cash equivalents and non-interest bearing financial assets and financial liabilities of the Company is equal to their carrying value. Fair value measurement of financial instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position are grouped into three levels of a fair value hierarchy. The three levels are defined based on the observability of significant inputs to the measurement, as follows: • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; • Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and • Level 3: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The following table shows the levels within the hierarchy of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at 30 June 2021 and 30 June 2020: Level 1 $ Level 2 $ Level 3 $ Total $ 1,364,380 1,364,380 - - - - - - - - - - 1,364,380 1,364,380 - - 30 June 2021 Financial assets at FVOCI 30 June 2020 Financial assets at FVOCI Capital risk management The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. The management of the Company’s capital is performed by the Board. The capital structure of the Company consists of net debt (trade and other payables and provisions detailed in Notes 12 and 13 (offset by cash and bank balances) and equity of the Company (comprising contributed equity and reserves, offset by accumulated losses detailed in Notes 15, 16 and 17). The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

In accordance with the provisions of the IOP, executives and employees may be granted options at the discretion of the Directors. Each share option converts into one ordinary share of Kalamazoo Resources Limited on exercise. No amounts are paid or are payable by the recipient on receipt of the option. The options carry neither rights of dividends nor voting rights. Options may be exercised at any time from the date of vesting to the date of their expiry. Options issued to Directors are subject to approval by shareholders.

Page 66 of 71  Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Exploration and evaluation assets - Note 9 At 30 June 2021 the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets was $ 11.637 million. In accordance with AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources, the Company is required to assess at each reporting date if there are any triggers for impairment which may suggest the carrying value is in excess of the recoverable value. The process undertaken by management to assess whether there are any impairment triggers in each area of interest involves an element of management judgement. This area is a key audit matter due to the significant judgement involved in determining the existence of impairment triggers. Our procedures included, amongst others: • • • • • • obtaining the management reconciliation of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure and agreeing to the general ledger; reviewing management’s area of interest considerations against AASB 6; conducting a detailed review of management’s assessment of trigger events prepared in accordance with AASB 6 including; o o o tracing projects to statutory registers, exploration licenses and third party confirmations to determine whether a right of tenure existed; enquiry of management regarding their intentions to carry out exploration and evaluation activity in the relevant exploration area, including review of management’s budgeted expenditure; understanding whether any data exists to suggest that the carrying value of these exploration and evaluation assets are unlikely to be recovered through development or sale; assessing the accuracy of impairment recorded for the year as it pertained to exploration interests; evaluating the competence, capabilities and objectivity of management’s experts in the evaluation of potential impairment triggers; and assessing the appropriateness of the related financial statement disclosures.
