HN5, HN6, HN9 (E38/3127 & M38/1041) and Lady Julie (P38/4346, P38/4379–4384) The best-looking targets so far besides the 3km-long HN9 mineralisation, are Lady Julie North (4.6km long) and Lady Julie Central (1.5m long). At Lady Julie North 1 there are many mineralised intersections including a recent outstanding intersection of 38m at 3.6g/t Au from 32m including 16m at 5.6g/t from 54m in MLJRC162 and 13m at 1.37g/t Au from 3m in AJC01. The amplitude of the soil anomaly contained the 38m at 3.6g/t is 50ppb. There are numerous other similar anomalies that have not been drilled tested adequately, within the 2km NS Lady Julie North1 Target shown in Figure 2 that contains the intersection of 38m at 3.6g/t that are very prospective for shallow gold mineralisation. In addition, a detailed soil sampling programme is being carried out directly north of the Lady Julie 1 area over a NS distance of 1.9km covering a 1.2 sq. km area shown in Figure 2 looking to define similar targets for drilling follow up. This zone between the two thrusts is very prospective and there are numerous untested NS workings within Lady Julie North 2 which have now been drilled with results awaited (Figure 2). At HN5 West a 250m long soil gold anomaly with a maximum of 229ppb was tested for the first time and hole MHNRC1015 intersected an impressive 4m at 62.5g/t gold from 52m. This intersection is being followed up down dip and along strike with detailed drilling to attempt to extend this very high- grade intersection in an area previously undrilled. At Lady Julie Central there are several high-grade intersections including 4m at 16.66g/t Au from 32m in MLJRC214, 8m at 9.23g/t Au from 24m in RFB226 and 4m at 8.36g/t Au from 18m in RFB206 (Figure 2). The Lady Julie Central gold target is now interpreted to trend to the NNE rather than NS. Areas that were not previously tested have come up with new significant intersections at HN9 Thrust 3 and HN6 Thrust 2, with further drilling planned test these areas. There are 13 RC holes planned at HN9 Thrust 3 following up an intersection of 1m at 58.5g/t from 91m in MHNR61010 and 2 holes are planned at HN6 Thrust 2. Other previously drilled areas include HN9 Thrust 2, which is positioned on Thrust 2. Interestingly, both the mineralised targets at HN9 and Lady Julie North appear to straddle two thrusts, with HN9 being a major 3km-long mineralised zone. The eight thrust zones that come to surface continue to the north and south over an extensive 6km length and shallow RAB (shown in red outlines in Figure 2) and or soil geochemistry is being planned Pg. 4 Financial Statements (shown in yellow outlines in Figure 2) to help outline any further anomalous gold areas worthy of follow up drilling. Within the HN5, HN6, HN9 and Lady Julie areas there are many new shallow intersections (Fig 3 and Table 2) with a total of 1113 intersections (ranging from 1 to 19m) greater than 0.5g/t Au, which includes 471 greater than 1g/t Au, 170 greater than 2g/t Au, 88 greater than 3g/t Au and 57 greater than 4g/t Au. A further 40 RC holes for 4,264m have assays pending. A new rig has already started with a programme of 110 RC holes for 10,310m (shown in yellow in Figure 2) following up the new assays reported on Lady Julie North 1, HN5 West and extending and infilling the HN9 mineralisation, which is designed to test and extend all ten targets shown in this release with the aim of ultimately converting to an Indicated Resource.

Location Map showing Hawks Nest and Lady Julie Projects near major gold mines At Hawks Nest 5, 6, 9 and Lady Julie extensive drilling programmes have been completed, including 1,261 RC holes totaling 79,747m (average 63m depth) and 4 Diamond holes totaling 431m, 19141 2– 5m composites and 9,476 1m splits. This release is mainly reporting on 2165 composite assays (2-5m) from (MHNRC878,880,881,928,932-947,951,952,962,867,968,971-978,984- 1009,1011,1014-1016, 1018-1028 and MLJRC135,162,209-211,216,217,226-293) totaling 8,598m, including deepening hole MLJRC162 from 50m to 80m and 315 1m splits. A further 40 RC and 4 Diamond holes for 4,264m have assays pending. 93 RC holes There are now at least four discernible mineralised lodes recognised that mostly dip shallowly around 20–30° to the east and plunge shallowly to the northeast within the Central Thickened zone. There are at least four stacked thickened lodes with some very thick gold intersections including 104m at 0.82g/t from 8m in MHNRC582 including 20m at 2.23g/t from 95m and 70m at 0.49g/t from 13m in MHNRC541. These multi-stacked thickened lodes show similarities with the adjacent Wallaby, Sunrise Dam and Jupiter major gold deposits. More results are pending for this area. is still open to the NE and more holes are planned heading towards the NE where a seismic thickened target is 1km away. This Central Thickened Zone crosscuts the NNW-trending near-surface flat-dipping mineralisation and may represent a blowout zone at the intersection of the NNW shear zone with NE-trending porphyries and dolerites, where four separate shallow-dipping porphyry zones coalesce and thicken. The thickened central zone within HN9. Lady Julie North Target expanded to 4.6km with addition of P38/4170. After our high-grade results at Lady Julie North with the best and most consistent shallow intersection to date at Lady Julie, with 38m at 3.6g/t gold from 32m including 16m at 5.6g/t from 54m in MLJRC162, a 100% interest in P38/4170 was purchased from Mining Equities (shown in pink in Figure 2) for $67,500 in cash. P38/4170 (80 hectares) has numerous significant gold intersections within a 700m length including, 13m at 2.08g/t from 66m in RFRC014, 11m at 1.05g/t from 48m in RFAC109, 11m at 1.64g/t from 97m Pg. 7 Financial Statements in RFRC015, 3m at 6.25g/t from 51m in RFAC307 (Figure 3). Two NS thrust zones also pass through the western edge of this tenement and are the same ones that contain our 36m at 3.6g/t from 32m in Hole 162 in Lady Julie North 1, 2km to the south. This addition expands the prospective target length of the Lady Julie North targets to 4.6km in length. The acquisition of P38/4170 provides good upside to the extensive 4.6km long Lady Julie North Target with many significant intersections present including 13m at 2.1g/t from 66m in RFRC014 and 11m at 1.6g/t from 97m, and the adjoining two NS thrusts which contain the intersection of 38m at 3.6g/t from 32m in MLJRC162. In addition, the acquisition of P38/4126 provides a near surface thrust zone that contains numerous workings and has a significant 1m at 58.5g/t intersection down dip. Nickel-Cu-PGE Projects Four separate projects totaling 322sq.km including Benjabbering E70/5537, Trayning E70/5534, Goddard E70/5538 and Korrelocking ELA70/5771 (Figure 4) are held 100% by Magnetic Resources starting from 90km out to 150km northeast of Chalice Gold Mines Limited’s Julimar Ni-Pd Discovery. These projects were selected based on aeromagnetic interpretation after noting the structural setting of the Julimar complex and the Gonneville mineralised discrete magnetic mineralised Ni-Cu-PGE rich intrusion. The Julimar discovery in March 2020 has led to a massive pegging rush covering 30,000 sq. km. The Julimar Intrusive Complex flags the existence of a new and unexplored West Yilgarn Ni- Cu-PGE Province along the western margin of the Archean Yilgarn Craton. Figure 4. Coverage of Magnetics four projects NE of Julimar overlayed on the regional aeromagnetics Pg. 8 Benjabbering E70/5537 Financial Statements The 111sq. km Benjabbering Project has a large 25km long sinuous aeromagnetic pattern that trends in a NE and N direction and is very similar to the Julimar trends and structures as shown in Figure 5. Several thickened zones have been Identified (shown as circles in Figure 6), which represent possible feeder areas for potential Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation. Figure 5. Regional Aeromagnetics comparing the Julimar intrusion held by Chalice and Magnetic’s Benjabbering area. The length of the magnetic trends is around 25km in both areas. ` These target areas will be followed up in the field with initial roadside drilling and subsequent more detailed AC drilling after access agreements with landowners are finalized. The geology at Julimar comprises a 26km-long layered mafic-ultramafic sill which at its southern end (Gonneville) dips at 45°W with a flat northerly plunge. The main host at Gonneville is serpentinite, with only limited gabbro evident on the drill sections. Although the new Hartog area is to the north of the Gonneville magnetic intrusion and is expected to have less magnetic mafic rocks associated. The bedrock geology at Benjabbering is mapped as comprising a series of granitic rocks ranging including biotite granite, and granodiorite plus more metamorphosed rocks such as banded and tonalitic gneiss. However, bedrock outcrops are sparse, most of the area being covered with Quaternary aeolian, alluvial and colluvial deposits overlying Tertiary sand and rare laterite. The sinuous aeromagnetics is interpreted to be caused by a mafic unit under cover. Pg. 9 Financial Statements Figure 6. Benjabbering Project showing sinuous aeromagnetic trend with circled areas representing potential thickened zones and targets for Ni-Pd mineralisation Trayning E70/5534 The 68sq. km Trayning tenement (Figure 7) covers a broad series of NE-trending magnetic zones, which are crosscutting the NS Archean fabric further to the east. In several locations there are linear features containing distinctive magnetic highs up to 2km in length representing possible ultramafic feeder zones prospective for Ni-Pd, where access is being sought for shallow drilling. Most of the tenement is covered by Tertiary sandplain with rare pisolitic laterite remnants which in places is overlain by Quaternary colluvium. Pg. 10 Financial Statements Figure 7. Trayning Project showing sinuous aeromagnetic trend with circled areas representing potential thickened zones and targets for Ni-Pd mineralisation Goddard E70/5538 The 70sq. km Goddard tenement (Figure 8) contains a pronounced inverted U-shaped magnetic zone in the eastern part of the tenement, which could be a possible fold structure. Several circled areas will be initially tested with roadside drilling followed with more drilling after access agreements are finalized. Pg. 11 Financial Statements Figure 8. Goddard Project showing inverted U-shaped folded aeromagnetic trend with circled areas representing potential thickened zones and targets for Ni-Pd mineralisation A series of circular Quaternary salt pans comprising lacustrine deposits of sand and clay occupies the central part of the tenement, associated with Lake Koombekine situated on the western margin of the licence. Very limited outcrops of granitic rocks occur, ranging from biotite granite to migmatite. The remainder of the tenement is covered with Quaternary colluvium and alluvium overlying Tertiary sand deposits. Korrelocking E70/5771 The 73sq.km Korrelocking tenement (Figure 9) covers a pronounced 2km-long E-W trending magnetic anomaly, which may represent an ultramafic feeder zone prospective for NI-Pd. There are also numerous localized EW dykes located here. This 2km EW target may be exploiting reactivated older structures which may have influenced or controlled the intrusion of Julimar-type mafic-ultramafic bodies. Thus, there may be a structural relationship between some Proterozoic dykes and Julimar-type intrusions. This area is well traversed by roads and initial AC drilling is recommended over the road verges that are along the 2km long EW magnetic anomaly, which is under cover. The bedrock is mapped as scattered outcrops of adamellite and biotite granite overlain by Tertiary sandplain with isolated patches of lateritic gravel in turn overlain by Quaternary silt, sand and gravel derived from underlying and adjacent laterite and bedrock. Pg. 12 Financial Statements Figure 9. Korrelocking Project showing pronounced 2km long EW intrusive associated with numerous EW Proterozoic dykes and access via a number or roads Melita-Malcom Tenements A number of tenements 15km east of Leonora have been sold to Mt Malcom Mines NL. The first tranche tenements include P37/9204-7, P37/1331, P37/1367 and E37/1419 and have been sold in December 2021 for 1,000,000 Mt Malcom Mines shares and a 2% gross royalty. The second tranche tenements include P37/8905-12 were sold in January 2022 for 1,000,000 shares and a 2% gross royalty. Other Projects The Company actively reviews other projects and tenements for acquisition and development within the Leonora–Laverton region. Pg. 13 Financial Statements Projects Summary: Iron ore and Nickel Magnetic Resources still maintains an interest in potentially economic iron ore deposits (Figure 13). The current focus is on the Kauring, Mount Joy and Ragged Rock Projects. The agreement includes further payments totalling $500,000 and a sliding scale royalty with payments starting at $0.25/t for a sale price of $80.00/t or less, and thereafter, for every increase in the sale price of $10.00/t the royalty rate will increase by $0.25/t. The Company also has a number of tenements located 90km northeast of the Julimar high- grade palladium- rich Ni-Cu-PGE sulphides at Julimar, 60km NE of Perth (Fig. 13). Figure 13.

Key Management Personnel Remuneration (KMP) and Incentive Policies Given the size of the Company, all board members form the Remuneration Committee (“committee”). The mandate of the Committee is to consider appropriate and competitive remuneration and incentive policies (including basis for paying and the quantum of any bonuses) for key management personnel and others as considered appropriate to be singled out for special attention, which: • motivates them to contribute to the growth and success of the Company within an appropriate control framework; • aligns the interests of key leadership with the interests of the Company’s shareholders; • are paid within any limits imposed by the Constitution and make recommendations to the Board with respect to the need for increases to any such amount at the Company’s annual general meeting; and • in the case of directors, only permits participation in equity-based remuneration schemes after appropriate disclosure to, due consideration by and with the approval of the Company’s shareholders. Pg. 18 Non-Executive Directors Financial Statements • The committee is to ensure that non-executive directors are not provided with retirement benefits other than statutory superannuation entitlements. • To the extent that the Company adopts a remuneration structure for its non-executive directors other than in the form of cash and superannuation, disclosure shall be made to stakeholders and approvals obtained as required by law and the ASX listing rules. Incentive Plans and Benefits Programs The committee is to: • review and make recommendations concerning long-term incentive compensation plans, including the use of equity-based plans. Except as otherwise delegated by the Board, the committee will act on behalf of the Board to administer equity-based and employee benefit plans, and as such will discharge any responsibilities under those plans, including making and authorising grants, in accordance with the terms of those plans; • ensure that, where practicable, incentive plans are designed around appropriate and realistic performance targets that measure relative performance and provide remuneration when they are achieved; and • review and, if necessary, improve any existing benefit programs established for employees. Retirement and Superannuation Payments Prescribed benefits were provided by the Company to all directors by way of superannuation contributions to externally managed complying superannuation funds during the year. These benefits were paid as superannuation contributions to satisfy (at least) the requirements of the Superannuation Contribution Guarantee Act and in satisfaction of any salary sacrifice requests. All contributions were made to accumulation type funds selected by the director and accordingly actuarial assessments were not required. Relationship between Company Performance and Remuneration There is no relationship between the financial performance of the Company for the current or previous financial year and the remuneration of the key management personnel. Remuneration is set having regard to market conditions and encourage the continual services of key management personnel. Use of Remuneration Consultants The Company did not employ the services of any remuneration consultant during the financial year ended 30 June 2022.

Recommendation 6.5 A listed entity should give security holders the option to receive communications from, and send communications to, the entity and its security registry electronically. Pg. 34 Disclosure: Financial Statements The Company has an email where shareholders can request to receive all information electronically and offers the same service through its share registry Principle 7 – Recognise and Manage Risk Recommendation 7.1: The board of a listed entity should: a) have a committee or committees to oversee risk, each of which: 1) has at least three members, a majority of whom are independent directors; and 2) is chaired by an independent director, and disclose: 3) the charter of the committee; 4) the members of the committee; and 5) as at the end of each reporting period, the number of times the committee met throughout the period and the individual attendances of the members at those meetings; or b) if it does not have a risk committee or committees that satisfy (a) above, disclose that fact and the processes it employs for overseeing the entity’s risk management framework. Disclosure: The Board has adopted a Risk Management Policy, which sets out the Company's risk profile. Under the policy, the Board is responsible for approving the Company's policies on risk oversight and management and satisfying itself that management has developed and implemented a sound system of risk management and internal control. Under the policy, the Board delegates day-to-day management of risk to the Managing Director who is responsible for identifying, assessing, monitoring and managing risks. The Managing Director is responsible for updating the Company's material business risks to reflect any material changes, with the approval of the Board. In fulfilling the duties of risk management, the Managing Director may have unrestricted access to Company employees, contractors and records and may obtain independent expert advice on any matter they believe appropriate, with the prior approval of the Board. In addition, the following risk management measures have been adopted by the Board to manage the Company’s material business risks: 1) the Board has established authority limits for management which, if exceeded, will require prior Board approval; 2) 3) the Board has adopted a compliance procedure for the purpose of ensuring compliance with the Group's continuous disclosure obligations; and the Board has adopted a corporate governance manual which contains other policies to assist the Company to establish and maintain its governance practices. Given that the board consists of 4 members, all members comprise the audit and risk committee, and Mr Lim and Mr Donovan are considered to be independent. Mr Sakalidis and Mr Chan are not considered independent. Recommendation 7.2: The board or a committee of the board should: a) review the entity’s risk management framework at least annually to satisfy itself that it continues to be sound; and b) disclose, in relation to each reporting period, whether such a review has taken place. Disclosure: Management report to the Board as to the effectiveness of the Company's management of its material business risks via the Audit Committee meetings. In addition at every board meeting, the Board is provided with an update to ensure all relevant risks and systems are in place and working effectively Pg. 35 Recommendation 7.3 A listed entity should disclose: Financial Statements a) if it has an internal audit function, how the function is structured and what role it performs; or b) if it does not have an internal audit function, that fact and the processes it employs for evaluating and continually improving the effectiveness of its risk management and internal control processes. Disclosure: The Board receives assurances from the Managing Director and the Chief Financial Officer (or equivalent) that the financial accounts are founded on a sound system of risk management and internal control and that the system is operating effectively in all material respects in relation to financial reporting risks. The Company has an internal audit committee as outlined above, which then reviews these financial reports in addition to the external auditors. Recommendation 7.4 A listed entity should disclose whether it has any material exposure to environmental and social risks and, if it does, how it manages or intends to manage those risks. Disclosure: The Company is an exploration company and as such has exposure to the risks of the mining industry environmental risks etc. To mitigate any risks, the Company hires appropriately qualified personnel to undertake its exploration activities. Principle 8 – Remunerate Fairly and Responsibly Recommendation 8.1 The board of a listed entity should: a) have a remuneration committee which: 1) has at least three members, a majority of whom are independent directors; and 2) is chaired by an independent director, and disclose: 3) the charter of the committee; 4) the members of the committee; and 5) as at the end of each reporting period, the number of times the committee met throughout the period and the individual attendances of the members at those meetings; or b) if it does not have a remuneration committee, disclose that fact and the processes it employs for setting the level and composition of remuneration for directors and senior executives and ensuring that such remuneration is appropriate and not excessive. Disclosure: The Committee has adopted a formal charter setting out the responsibilities and considerations in determining remuneration of Executives and Non-Executives. Given the size of the Company, the current board members perform this role. The Board considers the remuneration committee is sufficient given the size of the Board and Mr Lim and Mr Sanderson are deemed to be independent. The remuneration committee did not meet during the period but meetings were held as formal board items. Recommendation 8.2: A listed entity should separately disclose its policies and practices regarding the remuneration of non-executive directors and the remuneration of executive directors and other senior executives. Disclosure: The details of Executive Directors are disclosed to the ASX when necessary. Pg. 36 Financial Statements Non-Executive Directors are remunerated at a fixed monthly fee for their time and their responsibilities to various committees, and are eligible for additional fees on an hourly basis for work outside of their normal responsibilities, with the approval of the Chairman of the Board. The Non-Executive Directors are however eligible to participate in the Company’s incentive plan. The Board considers that this is a necessary motivation to attract the highest calibre candidates to the Board at this stage in the Company’s operations. Recommendation 8.3: A listed entity which has an equity-based remuneration scheme should: a) have a policy on whether participants are permitted to enter into transactions (whether through the use of derivatives or otherwise) which limit the economic risk of participating in the scheme; and b) disclose that policy or a summary of it. Disclosure: Details of remuneration, including the Company’s policy on remuneration, are contained in the “Remuneration Report” which forms of part of the Directors’ Report. The Remuneration Committee meets where appropriate to discuss the employments terms of the Managing Director/Executive Directors and Non-Executive Directors, and provides any equity-based remuneration after consideration of key milestones to be achieved and other remuneration being paid in the industry. There are no termination or retirement benefits for Non-Executive Directors (other than for superannuation). Securities Trading Policy The Company has also established a policy concerning trading in the Company’s securities by Directors, senior executives and employees. The policy includes blackout periods where no trading in Group securities shall take place between: 1) Up to and including two (2) weeks prior to the announcement of the annual results; 2) Up to and including two (2) weeks prior to the announcement of the half year results; and 3) The last two (2) week period of the months of January, April, July and October prior to the release of the quarterly results for the periods ending 31 December, 31 March, 30 June and 30 September; or 4) as directed in writing by the Company’s Board at any time in its sole discretion. If Directors including the Managing Director/Executive Director wish to trade securities outside the blackout period, they must obtain approval from the Chairman. Employees must obtain the approval of the Managing Director/Executive Director, and the Chairman must obtain the approval of the Board. All related party share dealings involving the purchase of new shares or equity is subject to shareholder approval prior to the shares being issued.

NOTE 1 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Preparation The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. The financial statements were authorised for issue on 29 September 2022 The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the Company in the preparation of the financial report. Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated. Reporting Basis and Conventions The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied. Going Concern The directors have prepared the financial statements of the Company on a going concern basis. In arriving at this position, the directors have considered the following pertinent matters: a) cash on hand at the date of this report is approximately $2.029 million. b) current cash resources are considered adequate to fund the entity’s immediate operating and exploration activities however given the state of the equity markets, the rate of expenditure on exploration as a whole has been reduced; and c) the company’s ability to raise additional funds by the issue of additional shares or the sale of assets if a high level of exploration activity is to be undertaken. Accounting Policies i. Revenue Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account interest rates applicable to the financial asset. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST). The Research and Development tax incentive income is recognised as income when it is determined that it is probable that it will be received, and the amount can be estimated reliably. Within the income tax expense reconciliation, the income is non-assessable and R&D expenditure non-deductible ii. Employee Benefits Provision is made for the Company’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by non-casual employees to balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. There is no liability for long service leave entitlements. iii. Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure All exploration and evaluation expenditure is expensed to Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income as incurred. The effect of this is to increase the loss incurred from continuing operations as disclosed in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income and to decrease the carrying values in the Statement of Financial Position. The carrying value of mineral assets, as a result of the operation of this policy, is zero, but does not necessarily reflect the board’s view as to the market value of that asset. Pg. 42 iv. Acquisition of Assets Financial Statements The cost method is used for all acquisitions of assets regardless of whether shares or other assets are acquired. Cost is determined as the fair value of assets given up at the date of acquisition plus costs incidental to the acquisition. Costs relating to the acquisition of new areas of interest are classified as either exploration and evaluation expenditure or mine properties based on the stage of development reached at the date of acquisition. v. Goods and Services Tax (GST) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable. Receivables and payables in the Statement of Financial Position are shown inclusive of GST. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the Statement of Financial Position. Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority. vi. Income Tax The income tax expense for the year comprises current income tax expense and deferred tax expense. Current income tax expense charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss and Other Comprehensive Income is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date. Current tax liabilities and assets are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to or recovered from the relevant taxation authority. Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well as unused tax losses, if any in fact are brought to account. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised Pg. 43 Financial Statements from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised, or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability. Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled. vii. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. viii. Impairment of Assets At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. This policy has no application where paragraph (c) (Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure) applies. (i) Earnings per Share (i) Basic Earnings per Share – Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing the loss from continuing operations after related income tax expense by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial period. (ii) Diluted Earnings per Share – Options that are considered to be dilutive are taken into consideration when calculating the diluted earnings per share. (j) Property, plant and equipment Each class of plant, equipment and motor vehicles is carried at cost or fair value as indicated less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Plant, equipment and motor vehicles are measured on the cost basis. The carrying amounts of plant, equipment and motor vehicles are reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts. Depreciation The depreciable amount of all plant, equipment and motor vehicles are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset’s useful life to the Company commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. The depreciation rates used for the class of plant, equipment and motor vehicle depreciable assets range between 20% and 100%. The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each Statement of Financial Position date. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the Statement of Profit and Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings. Pg. 44 (k) Financial Instruments Financial instruments Financial Statements A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. The Company determines the classification of its financial instruments at initial recognition. Financial assets Financial assets are classified at initial recognition a (i) subsequently measured at amortised cost,(ii) fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI) or (iii) fair value through profit or loss. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading, financial assets designed upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss, or financial assets mandatorily required to be measured at fair value. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with net changes in fair value recognised in the Income Statement within finance costs. Transaction costs arising on initial recognition are expensed in the Income Statement. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income The financial asset is held for both collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial asset. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through other comprehensive income and accumulated in the fair value reserve, except for the recognition of impairment, interest income and foreign exchange difference which are recognised directly in profit or loss. Interest income is calculated using the effective interest rate method. The Company’s financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income include it’s investment in listed equities. Financial assets at amortised cost Financial asset at amortised costs are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that re not quoted in an active market. Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest (EIR) method and are subject to impairment. Gain and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired. The Company’s financial assets at amortised cost include ‘trade and other receivables’ and “cash and equivalents’ in the Balance Sheet. Financial liabilities Financial liabilities are classified at initial recognition as (i) financial liabilities at fair value through profit or, (ii) loans and borrowings, (iii) payables or (iv) derivatives designated as hedging instruments, as appropriate. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net directly attributable transaction costs. The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdraft. These are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gain and losses are recognised in the Income Statement when the liabilities are derecognised. Amortisation is included as finance costs in the Income Statement. Fair Value Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models. The expression “fair value” – and derivatives thereof – wherever used in this report bears the meaning ascribed to that expression by the Australian Accounting Standards Board. Impairment of financial assets The entity recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets which are either measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. The measurement of the loss allowance depends upon the consolidated entity's assessment at the end of each reporting period as to whether the financial instrument's credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, based on reasonable and supportable information that is available, without undue cost or effort to obtain. Where there has not been a significant increase in exposure to credit risk since initial recognition, a 12-month expected credit loss allowance is estimated. This represents a portion of the asset's lifetime expected credit losses Pg. 45 Financial Statements that is attributable to a default event that is possible within the next 12 months. Where a financial asset has become credit impaired or where it is determined that credit risk has increased significantly, the loss allowance is based on the asset's lifetime expected credit losses.The amount of expected credit loss recognised is measured on the basis of the probability weighted present value of anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of the instrument discounted at the original effective interest rate. For financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance is recognised in other comprehensive income with a corresponding expense through profit or loss. In all other cases,the loss allowance reduces the asset's carrying value with a corresponding expense through profit or loss. De-recognition Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss. (l) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Company has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured. (m) Leases Lease payments for operating leases (where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor) are charged as an expense in the periods in which they are incurred. Lease incentives under operating leases, if any, are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease term. (n) Contributed Equity Ordinary share capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Company. Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds received. (o) Comparative Figures When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial period. (p) Segment Reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner that is consistent with the internal reporting to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), which has been identified by the company as the Managing Director and other members of the Board of directors. (q) Critical Accounting Estimates, Assumptions, and Judgements The directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data obtained both externally and from within the Company. Share based payments The value of amounts recognised in respect of share based payments have been estimated based on the fair value of the equity instruments granted including the vesting period. Fair value of the options issued are estimated by using an appropriate option pricing model. If any of these assumptions or estimates were to change, this could have a significant effect on the amount recognised. Pg. 46 Taxation Financial Statements Balances disclosed in the financial statements and the notes thereto related to taxation are based on best estimates by directors. These estimates take into account both the financial performance and position of the Company as they pertain to current income tax legislation and the directors understanding thereof. No adjustment has been made for pending or future taxation legislation. The current tax position represents the directors’ best estimate pending an assessment being received from the Australian Taxation Office. Environmental Issues Balances disclosed in the financial statements and notes thereto are not adjusted for any pending or enacted environmental legislation and the directors understanding thereof. At the current stage of the Company’s development and its current environmental impact, the directors believe such treatment is reasonable and appropriate. Impairment The Company assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Company that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. 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 consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, 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 consolidated entity unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. (r) Government grants Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate. (s) New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted The entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the consolidated entity: Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework) The entity has adopted the revised Conceptual Framework from 1 July 2020. The Conceptual Framework contains new definition and recognition criteria as well as new guidance on measurement that affects several Accounting Standards, but it has not had a material impact on the entity's financial statements. (t) Right of use assets A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the entity expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The entity has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. Pg. 47 (u) Lease liabilities Financial Statements A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the consolidated entity's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down.

Application for exemption from all or some of the prescribed expenditure conditions may be made but no assurance is given that any such application will be granted. If the prescribed expenditure conditions are not met with respect to a tenement, that tenement is liable to forfeiture. The prescribed expenditure condition in respect of the granted tenements for the next twelve months amounts to $751,880 (2021 $899,620). The prescribed expenditure condition in respect of the pending tenements for the next twelve months amounts to $28,000. NOTE 19 TENEMENT ACCESS Native Title and Freehold All or some of the tenements in which the Company has an interest are or may be affected by native title. The Company is not in a position to assess the likely effect of any native title impacting the Company. The existence of native title and heritage issues represent, as a general proposition, a serious threat to explorers and miners, not only in terms of delaying the grant of tenements and the progression of exploration development and mining operations, but also in terms of costs arising consequent upon dealing with aboriginal interest groups, claims for native title and the like. As a general proposition, a tenement holder must obtain the consent of the owner of freehold before conducting operations on the freehold land. Unless it already has secured such rights, there can be no assurance that the Company will secure rights to access those portions (if any) of the Tenements encroaching freehold land but, importantly, native title is extinguished by the grant of freehold so if and whenever the Tenements encroach freehold the Company is in the position of not having to abide by the Native Title Act in respect of the area of encroachment albeit aboriginal heritage matters still be of concern. NOTE 20 EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE Subsequent to the year end, the Company announced a capital raising of $1.1m in July 2022 and $3.44m in September 2022. Pg. 55 Financial Statements NOTE 21 During the 2022 year there were share based payments amounting to $237,632 issued to contractors in relation to the payment of various invoices . The shares for share based payments of 167,340 were issued to the contractors in July 2022. SHARE BASED PAYMENTS In the 2021 financial year 4,900,000 options were granted to Key Management Personnel ("KMP"), employees and contractors following approval at the AGM on 30 November 2020. The options were issued with an exercise price of $1.515 and expiry of 31 December 2024. Options were issued for $0.001 per option, the options vested immediately and a total of $2,334,246 was expensed. The options in the 2021 financial year were issued to KMP, employees and contractors as follows: Key Management Personnel: George Sakalidis Eric Lim Julien Sanderson Employees & contractors Options 1,800,000 900,000 900,000 3,600,000 1,300,000 4,900,000 For the options granted, the valuation model inputs used to determine the fair value at the grant date, are as follows: Grant date Expiry date Share price at grant date Exercise price Expected volatility Dividend yield Risk-free interest rate Fair value at grant date 30/11/2020 31/12/2024 $1.150 $1.515 64.36% - 0.11% $0.477 Total expense of the share based payments for the year was: 2022 2021 $ $ Total expense recognised as key management personnel expenses Total expense recognised as contractors expenses - 237,632 1,699,565 634,681 237,632 2,334,246 NOTE 22 RELATED ENTITY AND RELATED ENTITY TRANSACTIONS Particulars of contractual arrangements and financial benefits provided to the key management personnel are detailed in the directors’ report. There are no amounts owing to directors and/or director-related parties (including GST) at 30 June 2022 or 2021. Transactions with directors, director-related parties and related entities other than those disclosed elsewhere in this financial report are as follows: Investments in related parties Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income includes the following investments held in director-related party entities: Image Resources NL Meteoric Resources NL TOTAL 2022($) 2021($) 58,385 55,229 2,200 10,200 65,429 60,585 Pg. 56 Financial Statements NOTE 23 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES/COMMITMENTS Native Title The Company’s activities may be subject to the Native Title Act and Aboriginal heritage legislation. The Native Title Act recognises the title rights of indigenous Australians. State and Commonwealth native title legislation regulates the recognition, application and protection of native title. Native title may affect the status, renewal and conversion of existing tenements and the granting of new tenements. Indigenous land use agreements, including terms of compensation, heritage survey and protection agreements or other agreement types may need to be negotiated with affected parties. The Native Title Act prescribes procedures applicable to the grant of tenements which may apply even in the case of, for instance, a granted exploration licence being “converted” to, say, a mining lease. Compensation may become payable in respect of any impact which the grant of any tenements or other activities have on native title. A tenement holder may be liable for the payment of compensation for the affect of mining and exploration activities on any native title rights and interests that exist in the area covered by a tenement. Compensation may be payable in forms other than money, including the transfer of property and the provision of goods and services. It is not currently possible to assess whether compensation will be payable by the Company to native title holders in relation to any of the tenements but such compensation could be significant. There may be sites and objects of significance to indigenous Australians located on the land relating to the Company’s tenements. State and Commonwealth Aboriginal heritage legislation aims to preserve and protect these sites and objects from use in a manner inconsistent with Aboriginal tradition. The Company proposes carrying out ‘clearance surveys’ if it considers this to be appropriate before conducting any exploration work that would disturb the surface of the land. The Company’s tenements may contain some such sites or objects of significance, which would need to be avoided or cause delays. It is possible that areas containing mineralisation or an economic resource may also contain sacred sites, in which case exploitation thereof may be entirely frustrated. Access agreements will need to be negotiated with affected parties. Native title, Aboriginal heritage or other indigenous matters are matters of substantial risk (giving rise to the threat that certain tenements may not be granted, access to certain tenements may be denied or delayed in addition to potentially significant cost exposure in respect of things such as negotiations, surveys, incentive payments and compensation to name but a few) as the legislative frame works provide torturous and frequently uncertain routes to the endeavour by both stakeholders (that is explorers/miners and indigenous peoples) to attain certainty. It is not possible to quantify the financial or other impact native title and Aboriginal heritage will have upon the Company as, amongst other things, the processes involved with: (a) (b) (c) identifying all and only the indigenous peoples with a relevant interest; registering an indigenous land use agreement; obtaining access to land without infringing the provisions of the Aboriginal Heritage Act; are open ended, can involve substantial delay and cost and there can be no certainty as to the outcome with it being possible for projects to be entirely frustrated. This could be the case, for instance, even in circumstances where: (a) (b) a native title party consents to the grant of an exploration licence and assists the exploration endeavour thereon (and the discovery of an otherwise economic deposit); the Company, in order to exploit that discovery, applies for a mining lease (or other required approval, consent, authority etc.) but such grant, approval, consent or authority is not forthcoming by reason of an objection by the same or another native title party. Pg. 57 Freehold Access Financial Statements The interests of holders of freehold land encroached by tenements are given special recognition by the Mining Act (WA). As a general proposition, a tenement holder must obtain the consent of the owner of freehold before conducting operations on the freehold land. There can be no assurance that the Company will secure rights to access those portions of the tenements encroaching freehold land either at all or for all purposes but, importantly, the grant of freehold extinguished native title so wherever the tenements encroach freehold the Company is in the position of not having to abide by the Native Title Act albeit aboriginal heritage matters will still be a consideration Tenements under option The Company has an option to purchase E53/01978, P53/01627 and P53/01628 known as the Birthday Patch project. Under the terms of the option agreement the company paid an option fee of $5,000 for an option till 31 August, during which time it may purchase a 100% interest in the tenements for a consideration of $40,000. Mt Malcom Mines NL Tenements The Company entered into an agreement with Mt Malcolm Mines NL in relation to a number of tenements for an initial 1,000,000 shares and a deferred consideration Mt Malcolm Mines NL is required to issue 1,000,000 deferred shares to Magnetic upon all of the prospecting licences to be vended to Mt Malcolm Mines NL that were due to expire on 20 August 2021 being extended on terms and conditions by 31 December 2021. A number of tenements 15km east of Leonora have been sold to Mt Malcom Mines NL. The first tranche tenements include P37/9204-7, P37/1331, P37/1367 and E37/1419 and have been sold in December 2021 for 1,000,000 Mt Malcom Mines shares and a 2% gross royalty. The second tranche tenements include P37/8905-12 were sold in January 2022 for 1,000,000 shares and a 2% gross royalty. NOTE 24 CONTINGENT ASSETS Tenement Sales Agreement The following relates to a contingent consideration in terms of the sale of tenements agreement for tenements (Jubuk – E70/3536, Ragged Rock E70/4243, Kauring – E70/4508, Kauring – E70/4528, Mt Joy – E70/4692) sold in July 2017: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (a) (b) (c) (d) If the Development Conditions are satisfied on or before the third anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Effective Date” being 14 July 2017), the Purchaser must make a payment of $1,000,000 to an account nominated by the Vendor (Milestone Payment). The Milestone Payment is conditional on the following conditions precedent being satisfied or waived before the third anniversary of the Effective Date: a minimum of a 100,000,000 tonne JORC 2012 compliant iron ore inferred resource being certified by a competent person as existing within any of the Tenements or the area of Mutual Interest (AM1), in any number of deposits in any one or more of the Tenements or the AM1 provided that in aggregate the total resources is equal to or greater than 100,000,000 tonnes of iron ore; the Purchaser receiving all approvals, consents and authorities required under the Mining Act to commence mining of at least 2,000,000 tonnes per annum on any one or more of the Tenements or within the AM 1; the Purchaser receiving all approvals, consents and authorities required under all Environmental Laws to commence mining and development on any one or more of the Tenements or the AM1; and the Purchaser receiving all other statutory approvals, consents and authorities required to commence mining and development on any one or more of the Tenements or the AM together, the Development Conditions). The Purchaser will give the Vendor written notice of the satisfaction of the Development Conditions within 14 days of the satisfaction of the last Development Condition (Development Notice) and make the payment into an account nominated by the Vendor within 14 days of the Development Notice. In its absolute discretion, the Purchaser may waive the requirement for the satisfaction of the Development Conditions in writing and make the Milestone Payment at any time on or before the third anniversary of the Effective Date. Pg. 58 Development Delay Payments Financial Statements (a) If the Purchaser has not issued a Development Notice: (i) by the third anniversary of the Effective Date and provided that: (A) (B) the condition in clause (b) is satisfied; and the Purchaser has not exercised its rights under clause (c) the Purchaser will pay the Vendor a payment of $500,000 into an account nominated by the Vendor within 30 days of the third anniversary of the Effective Date (14 July 2020); ( We confirm that this now been paid ) . and (ii) by the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date and provided that the purchaser has not exercised its rights under clause 4(d), the Purchaser will pay the Vendor a payment of $500,000 into an account nominated by the Vendor within 30 days of the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date (14 July 2023), (together, the Development Delay Payments). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Purchaser makes the first Development Delay Payment, the Milestone Payment will not be payable by the Purchaser. (b) The obligation to make the First Development Delay Payment is contingent upon a minimum amount being spent on the Tenements by the Purchaser being equal to the total of the: (i) minimum statutory expenditure under the Mining Act; (ii) rates and rents; and (iii) any fees associated with the Option and any access fees payable to landowners; calculated from the Completion Date to the third anniversary of the Completion Date. (c) At any time before the third anniversary of the Completion Date, the Purchaser, in its sole discretion, may hand back the Tenements by: (i) subject to the receipt of all relevant consents and approvals under the Mining Act, including the consent of the Minister, transferring its interest in the Tenements and the AMI (or any successor tenements) to the Vendors for nil consideration; and (ii) procuring that all security granted over the Tenements by the Purchaser is released. (d) At any time between the third and sixth year anniversary of the Completion Date, the Purchaser, in its sole discretion, may hand back the Tenements by: (i) subject to the receipt of all relevant consents and approvals under the Mining Act, including the consent of the Minister, transferring its interest in the Tenements (or any successor tenements) to the Vendors for nil consideration; and (ii) procuring that all security granted over the Tenements by the Purchaser is released. (e) If the Purchaser exercises its right to hand back the Tenement to the Vendor: (i) under clause (c), the Purchaser will not be required to make the Development Delay Payments. (ii) under clause (d), the Purchaser will not be required to make the Second Development Delay Payment. (f) (g) If the Purchaser exercises its rights under clauses (c) or 4(d) of this Agreement, both parties agree to do all things necessary or convenient to procure that the Tenements (or any successor tenements) are transferred to the Vendor as expeditiously as possible. In the event that the Purchaser does not pay either of the Development Delay Payments when they are due and payable, the Development Delay Payments will be a debt due and payable by the Purchaser under this Agreement.

Risk management policies are approved and reviewed by the board. The use of hedging derivative instruments is not contemplated at this stage of the Company’s development. Specific Financial Risk Exposure and Management The main risks the Company is exposed to through its financial instruments, are interest rate and liquidity risks. Interest Rate Risk Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at reporting date whereby a future change in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of fixed rate financial instruments. Liquidity Risk The Company manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows, cash reserves, liquid investments, receivables and payables. Capital Risk The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern so that they may continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. Due to the nature of the Company’s activities being mineral exploration, the Company does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. Therefore, the focus of the Company’s capital risk management is the current working capital position against the requirements of the Company to meet exploration programmes and corporate overheads. The Company’s strategy is to ensure appropriate liquidity is maintained to meet anticipated operating requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raising as required. The working capital position of the Company at 30 June 2022 and 30 June 2021 was as follows: Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Trade and other payables Working capital position Credit Risk 2022 ($) 2,029,835 187,274 (372,176) 1,844,933 2021 ($) 6,993,607 186,189 (332,805) 6,846,991 The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to recognised financial assets, is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the Statement of Financial Position and notes to the financial statements. There is no material amounts of collateral held as security at balance date.

The fair value hierarchy consists of the following levels: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1); Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (Level 2); and Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (Level 3). 2022 Financial Assets: Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: Available-for-sale financial assets: Listed investments 2021 Financial Assets: Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: Available-for-sale financial assets: Listed investments Level 1 $ Level 2 $ Level 3 $ Total $ 223,475 223,475 Level 1 $ Level 2 $ 131,878 131,878 - - - - Level 3 $ - - - - 223,475 223,475 Total $ 131,878 131,878 (d) Sensitivity Analysis – Interest rate risk The Company has performed a sensitivity analysis relating to its exposure to interest rate risk at balance date. The sensitivity analysis demonstrates the effect on the current year results and equity which could result from a change in this risk. As at balance date, the effect on loss and equity as a result of changes in the interest rate, with all other variables remaining constant would be as follows: Change in loss – increase/(decrease): Increase in interest rate by 0.1% Decrease in interest rate by 0.1% Change in equity – increase/(decrease): Increase in interest rate by 0.1% Decrease in interest rate by 0.1% 2022 ($) (2,029) 2,029 (2,029) 2,029 2021 ($) (6,993) 6,993 (6,993) 6,993 Pg. 62 Financial Statements NOTE 26 NEW STANDARDS ADOPTED AASB 16 Leases The Company adopted AASB 16 for the year ended 30th June 2020. Where leases have a term of less than 12 months or relate to low value assets, the Company has applied the optional exemptions to not capitalise these leases and instead account for the lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In summary please note that for the year ending 30th June 2022 the company has a one year lease effective from 27 March 2022 with an option to extend for a further 2 years commencing on 27 March 2023. As there is no clear certainty that the company will extend the lease beyond 27 March 2023 , the directors have elected for the year ended 30 June 2022 to apply for the optional exemption in relation to AASB 16 and not capitalise the lease instead the lease payments are expensed on a straight line basis over the lease term.

This declaration is made in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors. SIGNED: GEORGE SAKALIDIS MANAGING DIRECTOR PERTH Dated 30 September 2022 Pg. 64 Financial Statements Independent Audit Report to the members of Magnetic Resources NL Report on the Audit of the Financial Report Opinion We have audited the financial report of Magnetic Resources NL (the Company), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2022, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors' declaration. In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Company is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: (i) giving a true and fair view of the Company's financial position as at 30 June 2022 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and (ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described as in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 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. Pg. 65 K Expenditure Financial Statements Refer to total expenditure ($7,878,563), accounting policy note 1(iii), and note 3 (other expenses) Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the matter Expenditure is a substantial figure in the financial statements of the Company, representing the majority of shareholder funds spent during the financial year. Given this represents a significant volume of transactions, we considered it necessary to assess whether the Company’s expenses had been accurately the services provided had been delivered in the appropriate period, and whether all expenses to activities related undertaken by Magnetic Resources NL. recorded, whether Going Concern Refer to Going Concern note 1 Our audit work included, but was not restricted to, the following: • We completed a walkthrough the Company’s expenses system and assessed related controls. test of • We selected a sample of expenses using systematic sampling methods, and vouched each invoices and other to item selected supporting documentation. • We reviewed post-year end payments and invoices to ensure that all goods and services provided during financial year were recognised in expenses for the same period. the • For exploration expenses, we assessed which tenements the spending related to, to ensure the in funds were expended Company’s ongoing projects. relation to Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the matter The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as discussed in note 1. In assessing the appropriateness of the going concern assumption used in preparing the financial statements, our procedures included, amongst others: Historically, the company has been loss making, and has raised capital to fund the expenditures. • Assessing the cash the company over 12 months from 30 September 2022 based on budgets and forecasts. flow requirements of Accumulated statement of $43.7m as at 30 June 2022. losses financial position shown in the totalled committed and what discretionary. could be • Understanding what forecast expenditure is considered • Considering the liquidity of existing assets on the statement of financial position. • Considering potential downside scenarios and the resultant impact on available funds. We included the going concern assumption as a key audit matter as it relies on existing cash reserves and raising of additional funds by the issue of additional shares to meets its expenditure requirements, further the company will rely on the sale of assets if a high level of exploration activity is to be undertaken in future. Pg. 66 Financial Statements Other Information The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information obtained at the date of this auditor's report is included in the annual report, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly 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 on the other information obtained prior to the date of this auditor's report, 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 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 Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with 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 the financial report. As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. Pg. 67 Financial Statements • Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern. • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. Report on the Remuneration Report We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 17 to 22 of the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2022. The directors of the Magnetic Resources NL are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Opinion In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Magnetic Resources NL for the year ended 30 June 2022 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
