At our listing, which successfully raised $5.8 million, we committed to use our funds to drill and develop a pipeline of targets prospective for gold, copper and base metal mineralisation. I am pleased to report that in 2021-22, we faithfully pursued this commitment through our drilling campaigns at our Bauloora and Harden Projects. The major results of these campaigns were the high grade and shallow intercepts of gold, silver, and base metal mineralisation at Bauloora where we intercepted 9m at 8.4g/t Au Eq. from 145m and 3m at 7.1g/t Au Eq. from 149m. The Company also delivered multiple high grade gold intercepts at Harden including 5m at 7.06g/t Au from 110m. Recently our focus has been at Bauloora, which is the largest under-explored, low-sulphidation gold-silver epithermal system in NSW. This project alone presents significant growth potential for our Company and the associated increase in shareholder value. At our other tenements, Cobar, Rockley, Fontenoy, and Mulholland, as well as at Bauloora, we also undertook extensive soil programs, rock sampling, rock chip sampling, historical data reviews and digitisation and aerial magnetic and radiometric surveys. During the year, Legacy Minerals also demonstrated its capacity for innovation in its approach to exploration by entering the artificial intelligence exploration alliance with Earth AI at the Mulholland and Fontenoy Projects. We intend to build a strong relationship with Earth AI and believe our unique strategy for such a young company sets us apart from the junior exploration sector on the ASX. The markets currently remain strong for gold and copper, the commodities on which Legacy Minerals is focussed. The underlying drivers of global political uncertainties and the significant role of copper in the transition to a low-carbon future appear to be for the long-term. We are sincerely grateful to all investors who trusted us with their funds. We acknowledge the support of the pre-listing shareholders, we welcome the incoming shareholders who joined us through the listing and on market during the year and sincerely thank you for your support. With our small but experienced and highly skilled team in place, we are committed to maximising the value of our precious cash resources in achieving our objective. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank our employees, consultants, contractors, joint lead managers and all our advisers for their efforts and achievements during the year. We are looking forward to another very exciting year ahead. Yours sincerely, David J.

Nature of Operations and Principal Activities Legacy Minerals has been involved in the acquisition and exploration of gold and copper projects in the prospective New South Wales (NSW) Lachlan Fold Belt (LFB) since 2017. The Company wholly owns 1,528km2 of granted and pending exploration licence applications in the LFB spanning five projects. The LFB, also known as the Lachlan Orogen, is a region considered to be a premier exploration and mining district and home to one of the largest gold mines in Australia, Cadia Valley NSW (Newcrest). Legacy Minerals has a straightforward exploration strategy: to drill and develop a pipeline of prospective targets for gold and copper mineralisation. The work conducted on the tenements has defined drill ready prospects across the Legacy Minerals portfolio. Legacy Minerals’ projects contain numerous untested geochemical, geophysical and geological targets. These afford the Company multiple opportunities for gold and copper discoveries; commodities which are currently enjoying favourable market conditions. Highlights of the projects include: • drill-ready targets that provide immediate opportunities for gold and copper discoveries; • projects with a prime position in the LFB targeting porphyry-related Cu-Au, Cobar-type, and low sulphidation epithermal-style systems; and • high grade and shallow exploration targets that present an opportunity for near term resource definition. There were no significant changes in the nature of the activities of the Company during the financial year. Dividends There were no dividends paid or declared by the Company to members during or since the end of the financial year. Legacy Minerals Holdings Limited Annual Report 30 June 2022 Page 6 Directors’ Report (continued) Review of Operations and Outlook Across six wholly-owned projects in New South Wales, Legacy Minerals (ASX: LGM) is targeting porphyry related, low-sulphidation epithermal, Cobar-type, volcanic-hosted massive sulphide (VHMS), Renison style tin, and low sulphide quartz vein mineralisation styles. The portfolio of projects provides the Company with significant exposure in the Lachlan Fold Belt, a mineral province that hosts several world-class, tier-one ore bodies. BAULOORA PROJECT The Bauloora Project exhibits one of the largest zones of low sulphidation, epithermal-style alteration and mineralisation in NSW. The project hosts numerous targets with shallow high-grade Au-Ag occurrences which includes the Mee Mar Prospect with veins out-cropping over 2km and rock samples up to 39.1g/t Au and 464g/t Ag. Historically the largest operating mine, the Mt Felstead Mine operated until 1915 and was drill tested this year as a priority target. FIGURE 1: BAULOORA PROJECT LOCATION Legacy Minerals Holdings Limited Annual Report 30 June 2022 Page 7 Directors’ Report (continued) FIGURE 2: BAULOORA EPITHERMAL OVERVIEW AND ANOMALOUS GOLD ZONE RC Drilling Program During the reporting period, Legacy Minerals’ exploration activity at Bauloora was highlighted by high-grade zinc, lead, gold and silver assay results from a reverse circulation (RC) drilling program. Drilling focused on the Mt Felstead Prospect, where breccia and vein hosted zinc and lead sulphides have been intersected. Mt Felstead is the first of several high priority target areas Legacy Minerals has tested with drilling at Bauloora. The campaign returned assays of up to 29.3% Zn + Pb, 8.9g/t Au and 99.3g/t Ag. These results are very encouraging as they extend previously intercepted high-grade mineralisation. They also indicate the possibility of a widening of the breccia zone with depth or the potential for discrete high-grade shoots within the broader mineralised fault. Legacy Minerals Holdings Limited Annual Report 30 June 2022 Page 8 Directors’ Report (continued) FIGURE 3: MT FELSTEAD PROSPECT PLAN VIEW SHOWING COMPLETED DRILL HOLES RC drill assays and logging defined a mineralised breccia dipping approximately 85o to the west, with parallel mineralised veins striking north-south. Mineralisation has been defined in drilling to 170m depth along a 450m strike length. Mineralisation is open down dip and along strike, where rock chip sampling has defined outcropping mineralisation for 670m. The main zone of mineralisation intercepted at Mt Felstead occurred as a steeply dipping lenticular zone, or ore shoot, developed in a fault breccia. Sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite, tetrahedrite and gold is hosted in quartz, chalcedony, calcite, chlorite, fluorite and lesser barite bearing veins. Host rocks are variably silicified rhyodacite tuffs, with sericite alteration observed in association with shearing and chlorite alteration proximal to quartz-carbonate veins. The high-grade Ag-Au assay results returned at Mt Felstead appear to indicate a metal zonation within the mineralisation, a characteristic of carbonate base-metal Ag-Au systems. Legacy Minerals Holdings Limited Annual Report 30 June 2022 Page 9 Directors’ Report (continued) Metallurgical Test Work Legacy Minerals undertook metallurgical test work at the Mt Felstead Prospect, with exceptional gold, silver, lead and zinc metal recoveries announced in Q3 CY2022. Three metallurgical samples consisting of a total of 111.5kg of percussion RC material were analysed at ALS Ltd in Perth and included separate representative samples of massive, semi-massive and veined sulphide mineralisation from Mt Felstead. The parameters of initial test work included a grind size of 80% passing 75μm and four-stage rougher stage flotation using standard reagents producing a bulk concentrate. The testing aimed to determine the mineral grades (cumulative grade) and recoveries (cumulative recovery) of the samples. The flotation process used is a standard mineral beneficiation process for processing minerals. It involves circuits of crushing and grinding whereby the minerals of value are concentrated and separated from minerals of no value. This separation is achieved by taking advantage of mineral hydrophobicity differences. Rougher flotation is usually the first stage of the flotation process where the maximum amount of the valuable mineral is concentrated at a coarse particle size. The preliminary flotation test work produced a bulk concentrate containing gold, silver, zinc and lead mineralisation in one product. Legacy Minerals is investigating the potential that separate concentrate products for the minerals can be produced using gravity separation, leaching and the floatation processes described above, where commonly an initial lead flotation stage is followed by a dedicated zinc flotation stage. Mt Felstead Prospect rougher flotation concentration stages one to four Legacy Minerals Holdings Limited Annual Report 30 June 2022 Page 10 Directors’ Report (continued) GA-IP and Rock Chipping Survey Legacy Minerals completed a large 81km, 50m line spaced gradient array induced polarisation (GA-IP) survey at Bauloora covering the Mee-Mar vein system, which returned rock samples of up to 39.1g/t Au and 464g/t Ag. The GA-IP encompassed the northern section of a 4km by 2km zone of elevated gold-in-rock chip samples (>0.1g/t Au). The survey defined a large area which exhibits elevated chargeability and resistivity responses over the 2km strike. Zones of elevated chargeability and resistivity were found proximal to interpreted and known veins and mineralisation within the Bethungra and Cowcumbala Volcanics. FIGURE 4: BAULOORA PROJECT GEOCHEMISTRY AND DRILLING HIGHLIGHTS Legacy Minerals Holdings Limited Annual Report 30 June 2022 Page 11 Directors’ Report (continued) ROCKLEY PROJECT The Rockley Project is situated within the highly prospective Ordovician Macquarie Arc, which hosts the Cadia Valley, Northparkes and Cowal orebodies and is coincident with the Lachlan Transverse Zone. Assessment by the Geological Survey of NSW found that the Rockley Project covers some of the most prospective ground for porphyry-related Cu-Au mineralisation in the Rockley-Gulgong volcanics. FIGURE 5: ROCKLEY PROJECT MAGNETICS AND REGIONAL DEPOSITS Geochemical Activity Legacy Minerals announced results from rock samples collected during geological mapping at Rockley with anomalous gold and copper values associated with quartz veined and brecciated Ordovician mafic-ultramafic rocks reported. An initial reconnaissance field mapping and rock chip sampling program was completed in January 2022. The work identified quartz vein, malachite and azurite bearing rocks associated with basalt and faulting. The setting is analogous to the Racecourse Deposit, 15km to the south-east and hosted within Rockley-Gulgong volcanics. Historically, gossanous rubble above the Racecourse Deposit returned assays up to 0.56% Cu, Legacy Minerals Holdings Limited Annual Report 30 June 2022 Page 12 Directors’ Report (continued) 220ppm Pb, 420ppm Zn and 7ppm Ag. At Racecourse, a significant drill intercept of 920m @ 0.3% Cu from 110m including a higher grade of 156m @ 0.48% Cu from 504m was recently reported. Legacy Minerals took a total of 40 rock chip samples across the northern Rockley Project area. The area has extensive copper and gold mineralisation as well as important pathfinder metal assemblages typical of porphyry copper-gold systems. Notably, rock chip 2899 reported 10ppm Mo, 4,950ppm Cu, 60ppb Au, 9.7ppm Ag, 479ppm As and 394ppm Pb. The work indicated that a major copper-gold mineralised source may be present within the project area where there has been no previous drilling, systematic geochemical sampling or detailed geophysical surveying. FIGURE 6: ROCKLEY GEOCHEMISTRY AND REGIONS OF INTEREST Legacy Minerals Holdings Limited Annual Report 30 June 2022 Page 13 Directors’ Report (continued) Geophysical Activity Legacy Minerals engaged Thomson Airborne to complete a detailed 440 line km aerial magnetic and radiometric survey, on 100m line spacing, across the northern and southern Rockley project areas. The survey provided the Company with a more defined data set than the available Government data. The Company engaged the GeoDiscovery group to conduct the initial processing of the data with targeting reports and final interpretations expected in Q3 CY2022. The primary porphyry target area at Rockley occurs in the northern part of the Project and comprises a number of intriguing zones of elevated and depressed magnetic and radiometric potassium responses within Ordovician volcanics. A highly prospective target zone of approximately 1.5km2 has never been drill tested. Legacy Minerals Holdings Limited Annual Report 30 June 2022 Page 14 Directors’ Report (continued) HARDEN PROJECT The Harden Project encompasses several historical high-grade gold mines that were the largest hard-rock mines in a mineral district that produced >460,000oz Au from alluvial and hard rock mining. The mines produced a combined total of ~75,000oz Au at an average grade of 28.6g/t Au – all before 1919. There are two main strikes of mine in the tenement area: the historical Harden Gold Mine corridor and McMahons Reef Gold Mine corridor. Overview of the Harden Exploration Licences Diamond Drilling Program In early 2022, Legacy Minerals completed a diamond drilling program at Harden which was designed to test previously identified down-plunge targets. Eight holes were drilled in this program for a total of 1,714m, including 1,288.5m diamond core and 425.5m mud-rotary pre-collar. Visible gold was identified in two holes including being intersected in core from hole HN0013 at 194m. The Company experienced some delays during this program. A drill rig engine failure occurred, causing an extended delay to drilling in January. A second diamond rig was mobilised to complete drilling while the first rig was repaired. During this delay, Legacy Minerals reviewed the program and added two diamond holes to further test the down plunge potential of the historical workings and the significant gold grades previously intercepted. Broad assay delays in the industry, as well as delays arising from the additional quality control and assurance processes undertaken by the Company to ensure accuracy in reporting gold assays were also experienced. Legacy Minerals Holdings Limited Annual Report 30 June 2022 Page 15 Directors’ Report (continued) Maiden RC Drilling Program The diamond drilling followed Legacy Minerals’ maiden 1,550m RC drilling program at Harden, the first drilling conducted below the Harden Gold Mine in more than 100 years. Legacy Minerals’ initial campaign was designed to test extensions of high-grade gold mineralisation historically mined at the Harden Gold Mine. Mineralisation was historically reported to occur in quartz veining in association with pyrite and minor amounts of galena, sphalerite and arsenopyrite. Legacy Minerals delivered exceptional results from this campaign, with high grades, strike and widths seen in drillholes increasing the Company’s knowledge of the mineral system. Wide zones up to 15m of quartz- sericite-pyrite alteration associated with shearing have been identified at the targets similar in style to what was intersected in previously drilled holes. The extent of the mineralisation through these broad zones expanded both the scale and potential size of the system. The high-grade interval in RC21HN005 of 5m at 7.06g/t Au from 110m is associated with quartz veining, within a zone of strong sericite-pyrite alteration and shearing. The interval correlates well with the modelled unstoped ground of the historical Harden Gold Mine. The intersection in hole RC21HN006 occurs 50m up dip of RC21HN005 and displays similar mineralised zones. Broad zones of gold mineralisation were intercepted between 120m and 141m. Mineralisation is open along strike and down dip. DP-DP Survey Legacy Minerals returned encouraging results of a Dipole-Dipole Induced Polarisation (DP-DP) geophysical survey at Harden. A total of 9 lines of DP-DP surveyed over the historical mine corridor with the survey lines orientated SW-NE with lines equally spaced 100m apart with 50m spaced dipoles. The survey delivered several highly chargeable anomalies coincident with known historical workings. Legacy Minerals Holdings Limited Annual Report 30 June 2022 Page 16 Directors’ Report (continued) COBAR PROJECT Legacy Minerals has control of 45km of strike over major faulting immediately neighbouring the Peak Gold Mines within the Cobar Basin, one of Australia’s most prolific base and precious metals production regions. Across the tenement, shallow transported cover has resulted in a large, shallow, unexplored search space prospective for Cobar-type mineralisation. The tenements contain numerous high priority geophysical and geochemical anomalies for follow up. FIGURE 7: COBAR TENEMENT MAGNETICS AND REGIONAL MINING AND EXPLORATION COMPANIES Legacy Minerals, in participation with Geoscience Australia and the Geological Survey of NSW, also completed 1,050km of flight lines covering 78% of the project area. The processing and interpretation of this aeromagnetic data identified 21 high priority targets. Importantly, the data demonstrated the continuity of major structures through both tenements. These structures are a ‘key ingredient’ to facilitate the emplacement of Cobar-type mineralisation. Legacy Minerals Holdings Limited Annual Report 30 June 2022 Page 17 Directors’ Report (continued) The detailed aeromagnetic data highlighted several priority aerial electromagnetic (AEM) targets previously identified through the survey. The Yarrawonga prospect has been highlighted as an area of significant interest. Interpreted major faulting nearby identified AEM anomalies, zones of elevated IP chargeability and anomalous surface geochemistry including gold in lag up to 1.5g/t Au. Soil Geochemistry Program During the reporting period, soil programs were undertaken across the Woggle, Kidman, Yarrawonga, and Hillview Prospect areas and were completed in Q3 CY2022. Approximately 3,500 samples have been collated and submitted for assays. This area is east of the large Cobar Basin forming Myrt Fault where previous geological mapping by the Company has identified areas of strike extensive quartz veining. The identified quartz veining is interpreted as along strike of the Langtons Prospect held by Aurelia (ASX: AMI). Soil sampling continued over priority AEM targets. A ground magnetics survey was partially completed over the Woggle Prospect in February before 3D modelling in preparation for drill testing. FIGURE 8: COBAR PROJECT PLANNED GEOCHEMISTRY AREA AND GEOPHYSICAL TARGETS Legacy Minerals Holdings Limited Annual Report 30 June 2022 Page 18 Directors’ Report (continued) FONTENOY PROJECT The Fontenoy Project exhibits an 8km long zone of Au and Cu anomalism defined in soil sampling and drilling. The southern 3.5km extent of this zone is covered by shallow quaternary cover which had limited drill testing that resulted in encouraging Au-Cu intercepts. Significant drill intersects included: 79m at 0.27% Cu from 1.5m, 22m at 0.34% Cu and 0.67g/t Au, and 58m at 0.2% Cu from 2m. FIGURE 9: FONTENOY PROJECT GEOLOGY AND SIGNIFICANT DRILLING MULHOLLAND PROJECT In December 2021, Legacy Minerals was granted the 194km2 Mulholland tenement for a period of three years. Mulholland is 35km south-east of Bourke, NSW, on the boundary of the Lachlan and Thompson Orogens, in a terrain which has demonstrable prospectivity for large and high-grade skarn mineralisation including tin, copper, tungsten, nickel, gold and zinc. Legacy Minerals Holdings Limited Annual Report 30 June 2022 Page 19 Directors’ Report (continued) Mulholland includes known skarns and untested magnetic and geochemical anomalies suspected of being related to Sn-Cu-W skarn and Ni bearing serpentinites. The Project covers several significant drill ready Ni and Sn-W prospects, in a prospective land position 500m south-east of Sky Metals’ (ASX: SKY) emerging Sn- Cu 3KEL prospect and less than 3km from the Sn-Cu Doradilla Prospect. FIGURE 10: MULHOLLAND PROJECT OVERVIEW Legacy Minerals Holdings Limited Annual Report 30 June 2022 Page 20 Directors’ Report (continued) CORPORATE Legacy Minerals commenced trading on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) on 13 September 2021 following an Initial Public Offering which raised $5.8M. The Company issued 29 million shares at an issue price of $0.20 per share. Strategic Exploration Alliance Entered with Earth AI Legacy Minerals signed an Exploration Alliance Agreement with Earth AI covering its Fontenoy and Mulholland tenements. The Exploration Alliance allows for a co-funding model, whereby Earth AI will contribute up to AUD$4.5M of total exploration costs across the tenements over a two-year period, with an option to extend for a further year. Subject to a qualifying drilling intersection being subsequently identified on any tenement, Earth AI is entitled to a net smelter return royalty up to 3% in connection with a to be agreed upon area surrounding the discovery. Earth AI is a vertically integrated metals exploration company based in San Francisco, USA. The Company’s NSW-based operations are at Young, 15km from Fontenoy. Earth AI plans to implement its artificial intelligence deposit targeting system to generate drill targets across the Company’s tenements. Legacy Minerals is under no obligation to explore, develop or mine any of the tenements during the period of the Strategic Alliance. However, after the second anniversary of the Royalty Trigger Date, if no mineral resource has been defined and the combined annual exploration development and mining expenditure in the Area of Interest falls below USD$250,000, Earth AI will have the option to assume operational control and buy all of the Royalty Tenements that overlap with the single Area of Interest under the Minerals Royalty Deed, for a cash purchase price equal to USD$1,000,000 plus a 2% net smelter royalty granted to Legacy Minerals. Legacy Minerals will retain 100% ownership over the tenements covered under the Agreement, subject to Earth AI exercising the option described above. The Agreement will not affect the capital structure of the Company. FIGURE 11: EARTH AI EXPLORATION MODEL AND DRILLING CONFIGURATION Financial The Group incurred an operating loss after tax for the year ended 30 June 2022 of $2,072,546 (2021: $855,307).

Legacy Minerals Holdings Limited Annual Report 30 June 2022 Page 38 Notes to the Financial Statements Year Ended 30 June 2022 General Information The financial statements of Legacy Minerals Holdings Limited (Company or Legacy Minerals) and its subsidiary Legacy Minerals Pty Ltd (LMPL) (together referred to as the Group) are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Group’s functional and presentation currency. The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of Directors, on 30 September 2022. The Notes to the financial statement are set out in the following main sections: General Information Section A – Key Financial Information and Preparation Basis. Refer page 40. Section B – Risk and Judgement Refer page 49. Section C – Key Management Personnel and Related Party Disclosures Refer page 54. Section D – Other Disclosures Refer page 55. Legacy Minerals Pty Limited Annual Report 30 June 2022 Page 39 Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) Section A – Key Financial Information and Preparation Basis A. This section sets out the basis upon which the Group’s financial statements have been prepared as a whole and explains the results and performance of the Group that the Directors consider most relevant in the context of the operations of the entity. Statement of Compliance The Group’s financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). The Group’s financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Basis of Preparation The financial report is prepared on the historical cost basis other than share-based transactions that are assessed at fair value. Group Restructure For the purpose of the Initial Public Offering of the Company’s shares on the Australian Securities Exchange, the Company undertook a group restructure whereby LMPL’s ownership was transferred to the Company on 5 July 2021 through the Company’s acquisition of all the issued shares of LMPL by the issue of one (1) ordinary fully paid share for one (1) LMPL ordinary fully paid share. As the business were controlled by the same party both before and after, in the opinion of the directors the restructuring represents a business combination of entities under common control and therefore the requirements of AASB 3 Business Combinations do not apply. The consolidated financial report of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2022 has been presented as a continuation of the business of LMPL. The comparative information presented in the financial statements represents the financial position and financial performance of LMPL. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the financial year are discussed below. Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may have, on the Group based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the Group operates. There does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the Group unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Share-based payment transactions The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using Legacy Minerals Holdings Limited Annual Report 30 June 2022 Page 40 Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity. Refer to Note A6 for further information. Exploration and evaluation costs Exploration and evaluation costs have been capitalised on the basis that the Group will commence commercial production in the future, from which time the costs will be amortised in proportion to the depletion of the mineral resources. Key judgements are applied in considering costs to be capitalised which includes determining expenditures directly related to these activities and allocating overheads between those that are expensed and capitalised. In addition, costs are only capitalised that are expected to be recovered either through successful development or sale of the relevant mining interest. Factors that could impact the future commercial production at the mine include the level of reserves and resources, future technology changes, which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes and changes in commodity prices. To the extent that capitalised costs are determined not to be recoverable in the future, they will be written off in the period in which this determination is made. Going Concern During the financial year ended 30 June 2022, the Group incurred an operating loss of $2,072,546 (2021: $855,307). After raising $5,801,500 (2021: $1,484,400) in equity through an Initial Public Offering and incurring the aforementioned costs, the Group ended the financial year with a cash balance of $2,765,670 (2021: $752,817). Based on the above evidence of successful fund raisings , available cash balance and taking into account budgeted expenditure commitments, the Board has prepared these Financial Statements on a going concern basis.

The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market performance conditions are expected to be met, Legacy Minerals Holdings Limited Annual Report 30 June 2022 Page 44 Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) such that the amount ultimately recognised is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant-date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.

If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Employee Entitlements Current Annual Leave Provision 2022 $ 2021 $ 24,443 5,370 The Group’s accounting policy for the treatment of employee entitlements: (a) Short-term employee benefits Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably. (b) Other long-term employee benefits The Group's net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. That benefit is discounted to determine its present value. Remeasurements are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. (c) Termination benefits Termination benefits are expensed at the earlier of when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and when the Group recognises costs for a restructuring. If benefits are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date, then they are discounted. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.

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 The Group recognises in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment the cost of replacing part of such an item when that cost is incurred if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other costs are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as an expense as incurred. Depreciation Depreciation is charged to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income on a straight-line or diminishing value bases over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment and buildings. Land is not depreciated. The estimated useful lives in the current financial year are as follows: ▪ Plant and equipment Plant and Equipment consist of: 1 to 5 years Cost Balance 1 July Additions Balance at 30 June Accumulated Depreciation Balance 1 July Depreciation expense Balance at 30 June Carrying amounts At 1 July At 30 June 2022 $ 89,201 63,281 152,482 (3,722) (30,441) (34,163) 85,479 118,319 2021 $ 1,363 87,838 89,201 - (3,722) (3,722) 1,363 85,479 Legacy Minerals Holdings Limited Annual Report 30 June 2022 Page 47 Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) Exploration and Evaluation Costs Exploration and evaluation costs are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses (see Note B3).

Exploration and evaluation assets are measured at cost. Exploration and evaluation costs, including the costs of acquiring licences, are capitalised as exploration and evaluation assets on an area of interest basis. Costs incurred before the entity has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are recognised in profit or loss. When a licence is relinquished or a project abandoned, the related costs are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. An exploration and evaluation asset is only recognised in relation to an area of interest if the following conditions are satisfied: (a) (b) the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and at least one of the following conditions is also met: (i) the exploration and evaluation expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; and (ii) exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not at the end of the reporting period 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 purpose 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 mineral resources 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 from exploration and revaluation expenditure to mining property and development assets within property, plant and equipment. Legacy Minerals Holdings Limited Annual Report 30 June 2022 Page 48 Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) Commitments Exploration expenditure commitments In order to maintain current rights of tenure to exploration tenements, the Group is required to perform minimum exploration work to meet the minimum expenditure requirements specified by the New South Wales Government. These obligations are subject to renegotiation when application for a mining lease is made and at other times. As at 30 June 2022, these obligations are not provided for in the financial report and are payable as follows: Within one year One year or later and not later than five years Later than five years Segment Reporting Exploration expenditure commitments 2022 $ 583,333 1,578,472 - 2,161,805 2021 $ 360,000 2,010,000 250,000 2,620,000 An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities whose operating results are reviewed regularly by the Company’s Board and for which discrete financial information is available. The Group is involved solely in mineral exploration within its 100% controlled Australian-based projects in the Lachlan Fold Belt (LFB) NSW and thus has a single operating segment. Business and geographical segments The results and financial position of the Group’s single operating segment are prepared on a basis consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and thus no additional disclosures in relation to the revenues, profit or loss, assets and liabilities and other material items have been made. Entity-wide disclosures in relation to the Group’s product and services and geographical areas are detailed below. Products and services The Group is involved solely in mineral exploration within its 100% controlled Australian-based projects in the Lachlan Fold Belt (LFB) NSW and, as such, currently provides no products for sale. Geographical areas The Group’s exploration activities are located solely in Australia. Contingencies There are no contingent liabilities at 30 June 2022 (2021: $Nil) Subsequent Events No matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the year which significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the Group, the results of these operations or the Group’s state of affairs in future financial years. Section B – Risk and Judgement B. This section outlines the key judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. This section also outlines the significant financial risk the Group is exposed, to which the Directors would like to draw the attention of the readers. Legacy Minerals Holdings Limited Annual Report 30 June 2022 Page 49 Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) Financial Risk Management Overview This Note presents information about the Group’s exposure to credit, liquidity and market 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. Management monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group through regular reviews of the risks. Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Presently, the Group is in exploration phase, therefore does not earn revenue from sales and therefore has no accounts receivables. At the reporting date, there were no significant credit risks in relation to trade receivables. Cash and cash equivalents The Group limits its exposure to credit risk by only investing in liquid securities and only with counterparties that have an acceptable credit rating. Exposure to credit risk The carrying amount of the Group’s financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was: Current Cash and cash equivalents GST receivable Other current assets Note A11 A8 Carrying Amount 2022 $ 2021 $ 2,765,670 61,269 20,000 2,846,939 752,817 51,866 240 804,923 Legacy Minerals Holdings Limited Annual Report 30 June 2022 Page 50 Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) Impairment losses Neither past due nor impaired Past due 1 – 30 days Past due 31 – 90 days Past due 91 + days 2021 $ - - - - - Based on historic default rates, the Group believes that no impairment allowance is necessary in respect of trade receivables not past due or past due by up to 30 days. 2022 $ - - - - - Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’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 Group’s reputation. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves from funds raised in the market and by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows. The decision on how the Group will raise future capital will depend on market conditions existing at that time. The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments and excluding the impact of netting agreements: 30 June 2022 Trade and other payables 30 June 2021 Trade and other payables Note Carrying amount $ Contractual cash flows $ 6 months or less $ A9 230,081 230,081 230,081 A9 472,786 472,786 472,786 Market risk Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return. Currency risk The Group is not exposed to currency risk and at the reporting date the Group holds no financial assets or liabilities which are exposed to foreign currency risk. Interest rate risk The Group is exposed to interest rate risk (primarily on its cash and cash equivalents), which is the risk that a financial instrument’s value will fluctuate as a result of changes in the market interest rates on interest-bearing financial instruments. The Group does not use derivatives to mitigate these exposures. The Group adopts a policy of ensuring that as far as possible it maintains excess cash and cash equivalents in short terms deposit at interest rates maturing over three-month rolling periods. Legacy Minerals Holdings Limited Annual Report 30 June 2022 Page 51 Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) Profile At the reporting date the interest rate profile of the Group’s and the Group’s interest-bearing financial instruments was: Variable rate instruments Financial assets Financial liabilities Interest rate 2022 Carrying amount 2022 $ Interest rate 2021 - - 2,928,285 (230,081) 2,698,204 - - - Carrying amount 2021 $ 957,551 (472,786) 484,765 Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed rate instruments The Group does not have, and therefore does not account for any financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Therefore, a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect profit or loss. Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments A change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the end of the reporting period would have increased/(decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency rates, remain constant. Variable rate instruments 2021 $ - - 2022 $ - - Profit or loss 100bp increase 100bp decrease Capital and Reserves Management The Group’s objectives when managing capital and reserves are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, so as to maintain a strong capital base sufficient to maintain future exploration and development of its projects. In order to maintain or adjust the capital and reserve structure, the Company may return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. The Group’s focus has been to raise sufficient funds through equity to fund exploration and evaluation activities. There were no changes in the Group’s approach to capital management during the period. Risk management policies and procedures are established with regular monitoring and reporting. The Group is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. Legacy Minerals Holdings Limited Annual Report 30 June 2022 Page 52 Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) Fair value versus carrying amounts The fair values of financial assets and liabilities, together with the carrying amounts shown in the statement of financial position are as follows: Note 2022 2021 Carrying amount Fair value Carrying amount Fair value $ $ $ $ A8 A11 61,269 20,000 2,765,670 2,846,939 61,269 20,000 2,765,670 2,846,939 52,106 - 752,817 804,923 52,106 - 752,817 804,923 A9 230,081 230,081 472,786 472,786 Assets carried at amortised costs Other receivables Other current assets Cash and cash equivalents Liabilities carried at amortised cost Trade and other payables Impairment The carrying amounts of the Group’s assets other than deferred tax assets (see Note D2), are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated (see below). An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income unless the asset has been re-valued previously in which case the impairment loss is recognised as a reversal to the extent of the previous revaluation with any excess recognised through the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash generating unit (group of units) and then, to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis. Calculation of recoverable amount The recoverable amount of other assets is the greater of their fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs. Reversals of impairment An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the period, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous periods. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following temporary differences are not provided for: goodwill, the initial recognition of assets and liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets recorded at each reporting date are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. Current tax expense/ income, deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences are recognised in the financial statements of the Group. The Group recognises deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits of the Group will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Any subsequent period adjustments to deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses as a result of revised assessments of the probability of recoverability is recognised by the Group.

Deferred tax assets have not been recognised in respect of this item because, at this time, it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits can be offset. At 30 June 2022, the Group had no franking credits available for use in subsequent reporting periods (2021: Nil). Loss Per Share Basic earnings per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss attributable to members of the Company for the financial year, after excluding any costs of servicing equity (other than ordinary shares and converting preference shares classified as ordinary shares for EPS calculation purposes), by the weighted average number of ordinary shares of the Company, adjusted for any bonus issue. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the basic EPS earnings, adjusted by the after-tax effect of financial costs associated with dilutive ordinary shares and the effect on revenues and expenses of conversion to ordinary shares associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary and dilutive potential ordinary shares adjusted for any bonus issue. Legacy Minerals Holdings Limited Annual Report 30 June 2022 Page 56 Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) The calculation of basic and diluted losses per share for the year ended 30 June 2022 was based on the net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of $2,072,546 (2021: $855,307) and a weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year ended 30 June 2022 of 70,222,173 (2021: 30,981,805), calculated as follows: Net loss attributable to members of the Company Weighted average number of ordinary shares Undiluted Number of Shares Issued ordinary shares at 1 July Effect of shares issued 1 April 2021 Effect of shares issued 30 April 2021 Cash placement - 5 July 2021 Cash placement (IPO) - 31 August 2021 Cash placement (IPO) - 1 September 2021 Weighted average number of ordinary shares used in calculating basic and diluted loss per share Loss per share – basic Loss per share – diluted 2022 $ 2021 $ 2,072,546 855,307 Number 44,368,002 - - 1,775,342 23,665,130 413,699 Number 27,110,002 3,064,932 806,871 - - - 70,222,173 30,981,805 Cents 2.95 2.95 Cents 2.76 2.76 4,570,137 (2021: 50,708,430) potential shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they are antidilutive for the year ended 30 June 2022 as the Group is in a loss position.

Finance expenses comprise interest expense on borrowings. Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method. GST Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the statement of financial position.

Key audit matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Carrying Value of Exploration and Evaluation Assets Key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit Exploration and evaluation assets are a key audit matter due to: The significance of the exploration and evaluation activities to the Group’s business and the carrying value of these assets, being the largest group of assets on the balance sheet; and The significance of management’s estimates and assumptions regarding the recoverability of carrying values in accordance with AASB 6. Details of the exploration and evaluation assets are disclosed in Note A13. To address the key audit matter, our audit procedures included: · · · · · · Evaluating the Group’s accounting policy to recognise exploration and evaluation assets using the criteria described in AASB 6; Testing a sample of the Group’s additions to areas of interest for the year and agreeing additions to underlying records; Ensuring that all expenditure capitalised to exploration and evaluation assets during the year meets the recognition criteria as described in AASB 6; Considering, whether facts or circumstances exist which indicate impairment of Exploration and Evaluation assets. This included a review of: o Tenement licenses for evidence of expiration or soon to expire without expectation to renew; and o Analysing management’s assessment of the recoverability of these assets through successful development and exploitation of the areas of interest, or by their sale, by evaluating the Group’s documentation of planned activities including tenement expenditure commitments as per the approved work programs issued by the NSW Department of Industry, Resources and Energy; Evaluating internal budgets and cash flow projections for consistency with management’s stated intentions for continuing exploration and evaluation activities in the areas of interest and critically assessing feasibility of these intentions with regard to available cash; Assessing the adequacy of the company’s disclosures in Note A13 in respect of exploration costs in the financial report. Other information The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2022, but does not include the financial report and the auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of the directors for the Financial Report The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website (http://www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx) at: https://www.auasb.gov.au/admin/file/content102/c3/ar1_2020.pdf This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
