In WA, we have made excellent progress at the Palm Springs Gold, which we only acquired in mid 2020, having made the decision to diversify our portfolio of assets to include an Australian project. This decision has proven to be fruitful for the Company as during the course of this year, we delivered a maiden resource for Palm Springs, totalling 5.6 million tonnes at 2 grams per tonne gold for 357,000 ounces well ahead of schedule. Excitingly, drilling programs at Butchers Creek will feed into additional Resource estimation work, and underpin mining and metallurgical studies crucial for the development of the deposit. A crucial element of any further evaluation is to understand mining and treatment methods for the Butchers Creek orebody. Previous exploration and the Company’s announcement of the 5.2Mt @ 1.9 g/t for 319k oz of gold has cemented the deposit as the heart of any potential new development in the Halls Creek region, it is by far and away the largest gold resource in the belt outside the Nicholsons deposit. We have also made impressive progress at our Juruena Project in Brazil where we increased the Mineral Resource Estimate to a total of 1.9 million tonnes at 6.3 grams per tonne gold for 387,000 ounces of contained metal and identified a quality porphyry copper target. This has enabled us to seriously assess development scenarios for both initial open pit mining followed by deeper underground mining. In July, we had the pleasure of welcoming Dr Marcelo De Carvalho to Meteoric’s board with the key responsibility of overseeing our operations in Brazil. Marcelo has been involved with our Juruena Project since we acquired it in early 2019 and has done a stellar job in building a strong technical team who has helped to deliver these excellent results to date. Marcelo brings with him vast knowledge of the local sector and geology and has extensive contacts across the Brazilian Mining Industry and within Government. As a company, we feel confident he is the right person to guide us as our exploration and development efforts in Brazil mature. As Chairman of Meteoric, I would like to thank you for your loyal support of our company. Without it, our achievements this year would not have been possible. Throughout the year again, we have been led by Managing Director Dr Andrew Tunks whose passion for the industry and exploration buoys the Company as we progress. We continue to work in earnest to progress our assets towards development and production. I look forward to keeping you updated on our progress in the year ahead. Yours sincerely Patrick Burke Chairman METEORIC RESOURCES NL - 3 - DIRECTORS’ REPORT The Company presents its financial report for the consolidated entity consisting of Meteoric Resources NL (Company, Meteoric or MEI) and the entities it controls (Consolidated Entity or Group) at the end of, or during, the year ended 30 June 2021. Meteoric completed this financial year focusing on the following key gold assets: • • Juruena Gold Project, Brazil Palm Springs Gold Project, Western Australia Given the global COVID-19 situation that presented itself in 2020, the Meteoric Board made the decision to diversify the Company’s geographical risk and seek an asset located in Australia. As such, the Palm Springs Gold Project acquisition was announced in June 2020 and the Company enters the 2021 financial year with a two-pronged strategy of developing both its Brazilian Juruena Project and Australian Palm Springs Project. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS Following the release of Mineral Resource Estimates for both Palm Springs and Juruena during the year, the Company’s total portfolio of Resources across its Juruena and Palm Springs Projects now stands at ~745,000 oz Au. Table 1: Mineral Resource Estimates at Palm Springs and Juruena Gold Projects, June 2021. AUSTRALIA Palm Springs Gold Project Global Mineral Resource Estimate Following the acquisition of the Palm Springs Project in mid-2020, Meteoric has made significant progress in developing this project over the last year. We released the below Maiden Global Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) in June 2021 which we delivered well ahead of schedule. • Global Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) of 5.6 Mt @ 2.0 g/t for 357,000 oz of gold (including 139,000 oz of Indicated Resources) from two (2) deposits:- o Butchers Creek (includes remaining resources below the historic Pit) Indicated 1.9 Mt @ 2.24 g/t for 139,000 oz Au; and Inferred 3.3 Mt @ 1.7g /t for 180,000 oz Au o Golden Crown (restated under JORC 2012) Inferred 390 Kt @ 3.1 g/t for 38,000 oz Au The MRE underpins the Company’s ability to grow and develop the project, which has a history of gold production. METEORIC RESOURCES NL - 4 - DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) The maiden Mineral Resource Estimate for the Palm Springs Gold Project comprises mineralisation at Butchers Creek and Golden Crown. The Global Resource, using a 0.8g/t Au lower cut-off, contains a total of 357,000 oz of gold comprising 139,000 ounces @ 2.24 g/t Au in the Indicated category and 218,000 ounces @ 1.9 g/t in the Inferred category. Key points from the Palm Springs MRE include: • 40% of MRE reported in Indicated category - significantly reducing planned exploration and development timelines • A large portion of the Indicated Resource at Butchers Creek occurs in the floor and beneath the historic pit, • • providing immediate ore for future development The Butchers Creek Resource largely sits within granted Mining Leases, potentially cutting approval times for development Classification of Indicated Resources immediately below the Butchers Creek pit means the Company no longer needs to dewater the historic pit or complete verification drilling, a significant saving in expenditure and time as the project moves toward economic studies/prefeasibility Deposit Butchers Creek Sub-total Golden Crown Sub-total PSPG Global Resource Lower Cut-off (g/t) 0.8 0.8 0.8 0.8 Resource Classification Tonnes (Mt) Gold Grade (g/t) Contained Gold (oz) Indicated Inferred Inferred 1.9 3.3 5.2 0.4 0.4 5.6 2.2 1.7 1.9 3.1 3.1 2 139,000 180,000 319,000 38,000 38,000 357,000 Table 2: Meteoric’s Maiden Global Mineral Resource Estimate for the Palm Springs Gold Project. 2021 Drill Program The Company learnt a great deal about Palm Springs from last year’s highly successful maiden drill program, in particular that gold mineralisation is stratabound within a single thick syenite unit and that the highest grade and thickest parts of the orebody occur within the hinge zone of a regional scale anticlinal fold hinge forming a robust high-grade zone that plunges shallowly southeast. Our 2021 drilling program is designed to further improve our confidence in the spatial distribution of the high-grade zone and further extend this zone down plunge to potentially grow the current gold resource inventory. Results to date from the Anticlinal hinge zone intersections confirm large, robust intervals including:- BCRD483 – 57m @ 1.6g/t Au from 223m including 18m @ 3.1g/t Au from 234m BCRD484 – 32m @ 1.4g/t Au from 266m including 4m @ 6.0g/t Au from 266m Based upon these results the Company plans to progress the following key studies: Open pit optimisations to develop ore immediately beneath the historic pit; underground development scenarios to exploit deeper portions of the resource, initial preliminary metallurgical studies on 2021 drill core, and assessing process route designs. Results will all be fed into a Scoping level study. Further assay results are anticipated in October. Butchers Creek Geologic interpretation and mineralisation Mineralisation at Butchers Creek is interpreted to be stratabound within a trachytic unit that intrudes a sequence of interbedded sedimentary rocks. The syenite acts as a host to gold mineralisation (Figure 1). The stratigraphy is metamorphosed to greenschist facies, and the main deformation is represented as a tight, anticlinal fold that plunges METEORIC RESOURCES NL - 5 - DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) shallowly SW and has an axial plane dipping approximately 70 degrees to NW. The fold hinge zone is strongly thickened but the mechanism for this is not yet clear. The true thickness of the trachytic unit is approximately 20 to 30m along the fold limbs but is structurally thickened in the hinge region. Significantly, higher grade gold mineralisation is observed in this hinge region of the fold. Figure 1 illustrates a cross-section through the central and southern parts of the orebody with thick, robust intersections in the hinge region and narrower, generally lower grade intersections on the fold limbs. Gold mineralisation is strongly associate with quartz-albite-carbonate veins and strong sulphidation with pyrite, pyrrhotite and arsenopyrite (in decreasing percentages). As mentioned, gold mineralisation is observed to be substantially thicker and generally higher grade in the hinge of the anticline. Therefore, the syenite unit has been modelled as one domain, with a second higher-grade domain modelled within the fold hinge so as not to smear the higher grades. Figure 1: Section 9850N (150m south of Butchers Creek Open Pit) demonstrating southern extension of mineralisation with continued thick, higher-grade intersections in the hinge region (modelled as a higher grade domain) and generally narrower, lower grade intersections down the fold limbs (modelled as a separate domain). This high-grade domain extends up dip into the south pit where it outcrops at the base of the southern wall of the pit. Heading north the fold hinge and high-grade domain has been eroded, leaving only the mineralised limbs of the syenite containing the gold mineralisation. The syenite host has been modelled along a strike length of approximately 1,600m (Figure 2). METEORIC RESOURCES NL - 6 - DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) Figure 2: Mineralised Syenite (dark green) and the internal high-grade domain on the fold hinge (brown). Golden Crown Mineral Resources Estimate The Golden Crown Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) is based on historic RC and DD drilling. The Golden Crown MRE is made up of two (2) prospects, inclusive of historic workings at Golden Crown and Faugh-a-Ballagh. These prospects are approximately 3 km NE of Butchers Creek. Geology and geological interpretation The gold mineralisation at Golden Crown and Faugh-a-Ballagh is stratabound within a syenite unit which has a northeast strike and variable dip from sub vertical to 35°. Having a known strike length of over 3km and a width of up to 50m, the syenite has intruded the metavolcanics and sediments. Mineralisation at Golden Crown and Faugh-a-Ballagh is restricted to zones of quartz veining within the syenite body with no gold mineralisation in the immediate surrounding rock. The main zones of quartz veining at Golden Crown and Faugh- a-Ballagh appear to crosscut the host body in a north westerly direction with variable dips from sub vertical to 60°W. Multiple quartz vein sets have been mapped at the prospects although the dominant vein sets have yet to be identified. The quartz veining and the edge of the syenite body was generally used as the edge of gold mineralisation Juruena Copper-Gold Porphyry Project, Brazil Increase in Juruena Resources Estimate In June 2021, the Company provided an updated Mineral Resource Estimate for the Juruena Project, comprising gold mineralisation from the adjacent Dona Maria, Querosene and Crentes deposits. The updated Global Mineral Resource now stands at 1.9Mt @ 6.3 g/t Au for 387,000 ounces of gold, an increase of 50% over the previous resource. For full details of the MRE upgrade see the Company’s ASX Announcement of 15 June 2021. METEORIC RESOURCES NL - 7 - DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) The Juruena Resource comprises 3 separate but adjacent gold deposits: • High-Grade Epithermal Gold deposits at Dona Maria and Querosene: o o Indicated 286,000t @ 17.0 g/t Au for 156,000 ounces Au; and Inferred 692,000t @ 7.6 g/t Au for 170,000 ounces Au The Crentes Gold-Copper deposit hosted in the Juruena Fault: Inferred 943,000t @ 2.0 g/t Au for 60,900 ounces Au o • The growth in the Juruena Resource has largely been underpinned by growth at the Dona Maria and Crentes deposits with significant extensions at depth where both orebodies remain open. A similar approach is under planning for the Querosene as the next major target. The significant 2021 Mineral Resource Upgrade, which includes 40% of the gold endowment in the Indicated Category, allows the Company to update the existing 2017 Scoping Study and prepare to apply for a Mining Licence with Brazilian mining authorities. In addition, the high-grade epithermal gold projects remain open at depth so there remains considerable opportunity for further resource growth with additional drilling. Tenders for the Scoping Study update at Juruena have been called for in both Brazil and Australia.

Juruena Project - 2020 Deep IP Survey Deep DC/IP (Direct Current Induced Polarisation) with MT (Magnetotellurics) is routinely used to explore for Porphyry (Cu-Au) mineralisation as disseminated sulphide bodies, such as those present in porphyry Cu-Au deposits, are excellent candidates for identification. The 2020 survey used a distributed array-based geophysical system that collects two separate geophysical surveys; DCIP as well as MT. DCIP provides resistivity and chargeability sections, and the MT METEORIC RESOURCES NL - 8 - DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) provides a deeper resistivity section. The DCIP data is typically and routinely collected to depths of 800m/1000m (with the telluric filter), and the MT data is collected to depths of 2000m. Meteoric completed a Deep DCIP survey consisting of 6 lines, spaced 800m apart (4 km of strike) over 26-line kms (Figure 7) in October-November 2020 with the results announced in December. The survey was specifically designed to cover an area of the project thought to exhibit the greatest prospectively for porphyry (Cu-Au) mineralisation, namely the coincidence of: strong Cu-Au-Mo anomalism in soils depth extensions of distinct hydrothermal alteration, distinctive veining and mineralisation logged in drill core at moderate-shallow levels depth extensions to intermediate porphyry intrusives identified in drill core which display fertile Cu-Au geochemistry at moderate-shallow levels an area of structural complexity related to a fault wedge between the south dipping Juruena Fault and the north dipping Gleba and Jacares Faults low-level copper L1 L2 L3 L4 L5 L6 Figure 7: Geophysical survey lines highlighting the Data coverage over Juruena and the location of the main gold prospects. The deep IP survey defined a high chargeability/resistivity anomaly, directly beneath the area where alteration vectors defined a potential source for the Cu-Au mineralising fluids. The intense chargeability anomaly (above 15 mv/v) is strongly indicative of disseminated sulphides and very large in size (2km in length and 1.5km wide). An intense core of high chargeability (above 20 mv/v) occurs within the center of the anomaly and presents an obvious drill target approximately 1.5km long and 800m wide. METEORIC RESOURCES NL - 9 - DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) b Figure 8: 3D image showing the 400m depth slice of the Juruena IP chargeability anomaly. The strongly anomalous zones with >15 & 20mv/V chargeability are interpreted to represent strong porphyry Cu-Au related sulphide alteration. The top of the chargeability anomaly lies less than 400m below surface and is open at depth and to the NW where it approaches the Arrasto Hills Volcanic Center, thus defining an excellent drill target for 2021. In addition, the high chargeability anomaly correlates very well with the MVI magnetic anomaly obtained from the historical MAG survey conducted by Lago Dourado and re-interpreted by Southern Geoscience Australia. Figure 8A shows a 3D view of the chargeability sections generated from the recent Deep IP survey data (10mv/v cut) transposed over a geological map with the main Juruena prospects. Note that the major chargeability anomaly is situated under the Uilian/Mauro targets, where historic exploration drill holes by previous explorers intercepted porphyritic rocks but were too shallow to intersect the interpreted anomaly located closer to 400m in depth. Figure 8B similarly illustrates in detail a 3D view of the strongest chargeability anomaly, using a 15mv/v cut for the recent Deep IP survey data. A Figure 8A: 3D Voxel with chargeability sections generated by the Deep IP survey at the Juruena Project. Prospects have also been highlighted. The 3D body was modeled using10mv/v. METEORIC RESOURCES NL - 10 - DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) B Figure 8B. Shows the 3D Voxel interpolation generated with the IP chargeability data. Note the Iso-surfaces with 15 mv/v (high) and 20 mv/v (very high) and 22 mv/v, define a NW striking elongated anomaly. The higher chargeability (above 15mv/v) defines an elliptical anomaly in the central portion of the grid and is considered an excellent potential Porphyry Cu-Au target to be drill tested. Figure 9: 3D Voxel and chargeability sections generated by the Deep IP survey at Juruena illustrating the potential size of the anomaly. The 3D body was modelled using 15mv/v values with internal iso-surfaces of 20 and 25mv/v. Figure 10: Detail on the 3D Voxel showing the major chargeability anomaly. The major anomaly is 1,8km wide and defines an excellent moderately shallow porphyry Cu-Au drill target. METEORIC RESOURCES NL - 11 - DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) Juruena Porphyry Following on from the results of the Deep IP survey Meteoric committed to testing the main chargeabilty anomaly with three deep holes. Two deep holes were completed by the end of the year. The Company has reported that both holes intercepted broad zones where molybdenite and chalcopyrite were recorded with more localised zones of bornite within strong potassic alteration typical of a porphyry copper-gold system. Porphyry Copper Drilling - JUDD042 The first deep drill hole (JUDD042) designed to test the deep high-chargeability IP anomaly at the Juruena Project area confirms the potential for a major Cu-Au porphyry environment, closely related to the shallow epithermal deposits (Dona Maria, Crentes and Querosene, among others). The geology in JUDD042 confirms the Company’s interpretation of a magmatic Porphyry environment being responsible for the high-grade gold and copper mineralisation at shallower levels. At the time of writing assays are still awaited. Deep Diamond Hole JUDD043 Towards the end of the financial year Meteoric was continuing with JUDD043, a deep diamond hole at its Juruena Project, designed to test a significant chargeability anomaly recognised in a Deep IP Survey Hole JUDD043 intersected multiple zones of sulphides, considered diagnostic of magmatic (porphyry) deposits including; molybdenite, chalcopyrite, bornite with traces of chalcocite and covellite. A 50m thick zone of intense alteration with disseminated copper sulphides composing up to 10% of the rock mass (187- 240m) is related to two intermediate porphyritic intrusives. A distal zone of molybdenite + pyrite with zones chalcopyrite has been recorded in veins and disseminations from 110m to 350m (zone of over 200m thickness) around the porphyry intrusives. Drill hole JUDD043 was finalised at 820m depth (see the Company’s ASX Announcement of 20 June 2021) molybdenum and copper sulphides have been observed in over 600m of core from JUDD043, at the time of writing final assays are still pending Commenting on the Juruena project in general, newly appointed Meteoric Director, Dr Carvalho, said: “I have been working for Meteoric since its acquisition of Juruena and am very excited about the future of this project. As soon as I set foot out there, I knew Juruena had untapped potential and what has transpired with the upgrade to the Mineral Resource Estimate and the identification and initial drilling of a quality porphyry copper target is very impressive. The excellent work MEI has carried out over the last 2 years has undoubtably unlocked the potential for a major discovery. In my opinion, the work carried out by Meteoric to date has discovered a new Porphyry System at Juruena. We do not know yet how big it is and what average grade it will deliver, but initial signs indicate that it is strong and large. Porphyry mineralisation was discovered a few years ago at the eastern end of the Alta Floresta Belt by Anglo American. That discovery led to a new exploration rush to the region with license applications covering the entire region and the area getting a dominant share of the investment in exploration in Brazil in recent times. Our discovery, 400km to the west of the above-mentioned project, is changing exploration ideas along the entire belt. Finally, it is very important to point out that in my experience, success in exploration does not always come easy, however, your chances are definitely enhanced if you can get the following mix right: a project with a large potential, in a known mineralised belt, with an experienced exploration team and an appropriate corporate strategy and financial support. MEI has done exactly that.” METEORIC RESOURCES NL - 12 - DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) Other Australian Projects Webb Diamond JV (Ownership 16% MEI / 82% Geocrystal Pty Ltd) The Webb Diamond JV is focused on the evaluation of a large kimberlite field comprising 280 nulls-eye targets and covers an area of 400km2. About 23% of the targets have been drill tested with 51 kimberlite bodies identified. Warrego North IOCG Project (Ownership 49% MEI / 51% Chalice Gold Mines Limited) Located in the Northern Territory, the Warrego North Project is approximately 20km northwest of the historical high- grade Warrego Copper-Gold Mine, the largest deposit mined in the area producing 1.3 Moz Au and 90,000 tonnes of copper. Chalice Gold Mines Limited (ASX:CHN) can earn up to 70% interest in the project by sole funding $800,000. Disposal of Midrim and LaForce Projects, Canada Meteoric Resources completed the sale of its Canadian Nickel-Copper projects, Midrim and LaForce, for consideration of 13,050,000 shares in ASX listed Rafaella Resources Limited (ASX:RFR or “Raffaella”) in November. The remainder of the Company’s Canadian cobalt projects (Mulligan, Mulligan East Beauchamp, and Iron Mask) remain under review and as such, no field work was carried out this year. Corporate Capital Raising In December 2020, Meteoric issued 70,175,439 new shares to raise up to $4 million before costs at an issue price of $0.057 per share, to sophisticated and professional investors. The placement included an attaching unlisted option exercisable at $0.10, expiring three years from the date of issue on the basis of one option for every two placement shares issued. Appointment of New Director On 20 July 2021, Dr Marcelo De Carvalho was appointed to the board of Meteoric, bringing with him his intimate knowledge of the Juruena Project along with a long and successful history of Brazilian exploration. Dr Carvalho graduated from the State University of Sao Paulo in 1996 with a Bachelor of Geology and commenced his exploration career in Brazil, working for Anglo Gold exploring for gold in the Amazon and subsequently with Vale, exploring for base metals. In 2004, Dr Carvalho moved to Perth (UWA) to complete a PhD in Metalogenesis. Returning to Brazil he joined Yamana Gold and rose to the role of Greenfields Exploration Manager before departing in 2012. During that time, Marcelo led an experienced Exploration Team and was part of a several gold discoveries, taking projects from Project Generation all the way through to Mining Reserves and Development. With the experience acquired over these years, Marcelo cofounded his own consultancy company, Target Latin America (TLA) and has consulted to explorers from across the globe for over 10 years, selecting and managing exploration projects in the Americas. Strong Cash Position Meteoric maintains a strong cash position with A$4.0 million cash in hand as at 30 June 2021.

METEORIC RESOURCES NL - 31 - NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2021 3 OPERATING SEGMENTS Management has determined that the Group has three reportable segments, being exploration activities in Brazil, exploration activities in Canada and exploration activities in Australia. This determination is based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board (chief operating decision maker) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. As the Group is focused on exploration, the Board monitors the Group based on actual versus budgeted exploration expenditure incurred by area of interest. This internal reporting framework is the most relevant to assist the Board with making decisions regarding the Group and its ongoing exploration activities, while also taking into consideration the results of exploration work that has been performed to date.

The utilisation of the tax losses is subject to the Group passing the required Continuity of Ownership and Same Business Test rules at the time the losses are utilised. Net deferred tax assets have not been brought to account as it is not probable within the immediate future that tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary difference can be utilised. 5 ASSET ACQUISITION – PALM SPRINGS PROJECT On 30 June 2020, the Company acquired the Palm Springs project, through the acquisition of 100% of Kimberly Resources Limited (Kimberly) and Horrocks Enterprises Pty Ltd (Horrocks).

METEORIC RESOURCES NL - 33 - NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2021 5 ASSET ACQUISITION – PALM SPRINGS PROJECT (continued) The fair value of consideration issued on 30 June 2020 was $1,050,000, which was by reference to the fair value of the net assets acquired. Fair value of net assets acquired Consideration provided for assets acquired Cash Ordinary shares Note 13 30 June 2020 $ 1,050,000 800,000 250,000 1,050,000 In accordance with the Group’s Accounting Policy at Note 27(h) the acquired exploration and evaluation expenditure has been expensed. Significant accounting judgments Asset acquisition not constituting a Business When an asset acquisition does not constitute a business combination, the assets and liabilities are assigned a carrying amount based on their relative fair values in an asset purchase transaction and no deferred tax will arise in relation to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities as the initial recognition exemption for deferred tax under AASB 112 applies. No goodwill will arise on the acquisition and transaction costs of the acquisition will be included in the capitalised cost of the asset. In determining when an acquisition is determined to be an asset acquisition and not a business, significant judgement is required to assess whether the assets acquired constitute a business in accordance with AASB 3. Under AASB 3 a business is an integrated set of activities and assets that is capable of being conducted or managed for the purpose of providing a return, and consists of inputs and processes, which when applied to those inputs has the ability to create outputs. Management determined that the acquisition of Palm Springs Project was an asset acquisition. Fair value of asset acquisition During the prior financial year 12,500,000 ordinary shares were issued and $800,000 in cash, was paid in consideration for the Kimberly Resources Limited and Horrocks Enterprises Pty Ltd. The fair value of consideration was by reference to the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in accordance with AASB 2. The fair value of the shares granted by Meteoric was determined to be $250,000. 6 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS (a) Risk exposure Refer to Note 16 for details of the risk exposure and management of the Group’s cash and cash equivalents.

METEORIC RESOURCES NL - 35 - NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2021 10 TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLE Trade and other payables are normally settled within 30 days from receipt of invoice. All amounts recognised as trade and other payables, but not yet invoiced, are expected to settle within 12 months. The carrying value of trade and other payables are assumed to be the same as their fair value, due to their short-term nature. Refer to Note 16 for details of the risk exposure and management of the Group’s trade and other receivables. 11 PROVISIONS The current provision for employee benefits relate to annual leave which is provided for all employees of the Group in line with their employment contracts and the balance for the year ended 30 June 2021 is expected to be settled within 12 months.

Fair value hierarchy To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Group classifies its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standards. An explanation of each level follows underneath the table. The following table presents the group's financial assets and financial liabilities measured and recognised at fair value at 30 June 2021 and 30 June 2020 on a recurring basis: Level 1 $ Level 2 $ Level 3 $ Total $ As at 30 June 2021 Financial assets at FVOCI – Equity securities 852,254 As at 30 June 2020 Financial assets at FVOCI – Equity securities 61,888 - - - - 852,254 61,888 There were no transfers between levels during the period. The Group's policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the reporting period. The fair value of financial assets and liabilities held by the Group must be estimated for recognition, measurement and/or disclosure purposes. The Group measures fair values by level, per the following fair value measurement hierarchy: Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). METEORIC RESOURCES NL - 36 - NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2021 12 FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued) Valuation techniques used to determine fair values The Group did not have any financial instruments that are recognised in the financial statements where their carrying value differed from the fair value. The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The carrying amounts of cash and short-term trade and other receivables, trade payables and other current liabilities approximate their fair values largely due to the short-term maturities of these payments. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income – equity securities The fair value of the equity holdings is based on the quoted market prices from the ASX on the last traded price prior or nearest to year-end. 13 ISSUED CAPITAL AND RESERVES (a) Issued capital 2021 Shares 2020 Shares 2021 $ 2020 $ Fully paid 1,314,791,539 1,231,314,346 38,738,571 35,196,221 Movements in ordinary share capital during the current and prior financial period are as follows: Details Balance at 1 July 2019 Placement Share-based payment Exercise of options Exercise of options Shares issued Exercise of options Exercise of options Shares issued Placement Placement Share-based payment (Note 16(c)) Placement Exercise of options Acquisition of tenements (Note 5) Less: Share issue costs Balance at 30 June 2020 Date Number of shares Issue price/share $ $ 20-Aug-19 20-Aug-19 30-Aug-19 30-Aug-19 30-Aug-19 13-Sep-19 11-Oct-19 11-Oct-19 889,003,296 84,375,000 3,737,250 4,500,000 3,000,000 24,300 1,000,000 1,000,000 40,000 29-Nov-19 135,000,000 12-Feb-20 22-Jun-20 22-Jun-20 26-Jun-20 30-Jun-20 700,000 5,934,500 88,000,000 2,500,000 12,500,000 0.032 0.032 0.011 0.024 - 0.024 0.024 - 0.050 0.050 0.016 0.016 0.012 0.020 24,545,133 2,700,000 119,592 49,500 72,000 - 24,000 24,000 - 6,750,000 35,000 94,952 1,408,000 30,000 250,000 (905,956) 1,231,314,346 35,196,221 METEORIC RESOURCES NL - 37 - NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2021 13 ISSUED CAPITAL AND RESERVES (continued) Details Date Number of shares Issue price/share $ $ Balance at 30 June 2020 1,231,314,346 35,196,221 Exercise of options Exercise of options Exercise of options Issue of options Placement Exercise of options Placement Share based payment Exercise of options Exercise of options Exercise of options Less: Share issue costs Balance at 30 June 2021 (b) Accumulated losses Balance at 1 July Net loss for the year Balance at 30 June (c) Reserves 21-Aug-20 28-Aug-20 28-Aug-20 9-Sep-20 16-Sep-20 18-Sep-20 21-Dec-20 21,Dec-20 7-Jan-21 25-Jan-21 23-Feb-21 2,400,000 1,000,000 1,500,000 - 2,000,000 2,000,000 70,175,439 2,701,754 700,000 700,000 300,000 - 1,314,791,539 0.0240 0.0120 0.0240 0.0000 0.0160 0.0240 0.0570 0.0570 0.0240 0.0240 0.0240 57,600 12,000 36,000 458 32,000 48,000 4,000,000 154,000 16,800 16,800 7,200 (838,508) 38,738,571 2021 $ 2020 $ (31,164,438) (24,018,871) (9,043,665) (7,145,567) (40,208,103) (31,164,438) The following table shows a breakdown of the reserves and the movements in these reserves during the year.

The fair value of option issued is measured by reference to the value of the goods or services received. The fair value of services received in return for share options granted to Directors and Employees and Consultants is measured by reference to the fair value of options granted. The fair value of services received by advisors could not be reliably measured and are therefore measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted. The estimate of the fair value of the services is measured based on a number of closed and open form models by an independent valuer. The life of the options including early exercise options are built into the option model. The fair value of the options are expensed over the expected vesting period.

An amount of $68,002 has been recognised in the Statement of Financial Position under capital raising cost. Significant accounting estimates, assumptions, and judgements Estimation of fair value of share-based payments The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using the barrier up and in trinomial option pricing model taking into account the assumptions detailed within this note. Probability of vesting conditions being achieved Inputs to pricing models may require an estimation of reasonable expectations about achievement of future vesting conditions. Vesting conditions must be satisfied for the counterparty to become entitled to receive cash, other assets or equity instruments of the entity, under a share-based payment arrangement. Vesting conditions include service conditions, which require the other party to complete a specified period of service, and performance conditions, which require specified performance targets to be met (such as a specified Increase in the entity's profit over a specified period of time) or completion of performance hurdles. The Company recognises an amount for the goods or services received during the vesting period based on the best available estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest and shall revise that estimate, if necessary, if subsequent information Indicates that the number of equity instruments expected to vest differs from previous estimates. On vesting date, the entity shall revise the estimate to equal the number of equity instruments that ultimately vested. The achievement of future vesting conditions are reassessed each reporting period. 16 FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT Overview The financial risks that arise during the normal course of the Group’s operations comprise market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. In managing financial risk, it is policy to seek a balance between the potential adverse effects of financial risks on financial performance and position, and the "upside" potential made possible by exposure to these risks and by taking into account the costs and expected benefits of the various risk management methods available to manage them. METEORIC RESOURCES NL - 43 - NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2021 16 FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) General objectives, policies and processes The Board is responsible for approving policies on risk oversight and management and ensuring management has developed and implemented effective risk management and internal control. The Board receives reports as required from the Managing Director in which they review the effectiveness of the processes implemented and the appropriateness of the objectives and policies it sets. The Board oversees how management monitors compliance with the Group's risk management policies and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced. These disclosures are not, nor are they intended to be an exhaustive list of risks to which the Group is exposed. Financial Instruments The Group has the following financial instruments: Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents Other receivables Security deposits Financial assets at FVOCI Financial liabilities Trade and other payables (a) Market Risk 2021 $ 2020 $ 3,967,738 6,512,581 164,244 - 852,254 76,648 2,768 61,888 4,984,236 6,653,885 509,598 509,598 219,903 219,903 Market risk can arise from the Group’s use of interest-bearing financial instruments, foreign currency financial instruments and equity security instruments and exposure to commodity prices. It is a risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in interest rates (interest rate risk), foreign exchange rate (currency risk), equity securities price risk (price risk) and fluctuations in commodity prices (commodity price risk). (i) Interest rate risk The Board manages the Group's exposure to interest rate risk by regularly assessing exposure, taking into account funding requirements and selecting appropriate instruments to manage its exposure. As at the 30 June 2021, the Group has interest-bearing assets, being cash at bank (30 June 2020: cash at bank). As such, the Group's income and operating cash flows are not highly dependent on material changes in market interest rates. Sensitivity analysis The Group does not consider this to be a material risk/exposure to the Group and have therefore not undertaken any further analysis. As at 30 June 2021 and 30 June 2020 the Group did not hold any funds on deposit. (ii) Currency risk The Group maintains a corporate listing in Australia and operates in Brazil, Canada, and Australia. As a result of various operating locations, the Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from fluctuations, primarily in the US Dollar (USD), Brazilian Real (BRL) and Canadian Dollar (CAD). METEORIC RESOURCES NL - 44 - NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2021 16 FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Company’s functional currency. The Group manages risk by matching receipts and payments in the same currency and monitoring movements in exchange rates. The exposure to risks is measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting. The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk at year end, expressed in Australian dollars, was as follows: USD $ 2021 BRL $ CAD $ USD $ 2020 BRL $ CAD $ - - - 78,328 54,059 1,360 - 97,073 3,348 - - - 5,980 1,344 35,399 - 106,574 3,288 Financial assets Cash Other receivables Financial liabilities Trade and other payables Sensitivity analysis The following table demonstrates the estimated sensitivity to a 10% increase/decrease in the Australian dollar/BRL exchange rate, with all variables held consistent, on post tax profit and equity. The Group does not consider the other currencies to be a material risk/exposure to the Group and have therefore not undertaken any further analysis. These sensitivities should not be used to forecast the future effect of movement in the Australian dollar exchange rate on future cash flows. A hypothetical change of 10% in BRL exchange rates was used to calculate the Group's sensitivity to foreign exchange rate movements as the Company’s estimate of possible rate movements over the coming year taking into account current market conditions and past volatility. (iii) Price risk Impact on post-tax profits and equity 30 June 2021 AUD/BRL + % AUD/BRL - % 30 June 2020 AUD/BRL + % AUD/BRL - % % 10 10 10 10 $ 3,531 (3,531) 6,519 (6,519) The Group’s only equity investments are publicly traded on the ASX.To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, management monitors the price movements of the investment and ensures that the investment risk falls within the Group’s framework for risk management. The Group’s exposure to equity securities price risk arises from investments held by the Group and classified in the statement of financial position as financial assets at fair value (Note 9). METEORIC RESOURCES NL - 45 - NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2021 16 FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) Sensitivity analysis following The the estimated table demonstrates sensitivity to a 10% increase/decrease in the share price of investments in equity securities, with all variables held consistent, on post tax profit and equity. These sensitivities should not be used to forecast the future effect of movement in the share price of investments on future cash flows. A hypothetical change of 10% in share price of investments was used to calculate the Group's sensitivity to price risk as the Company’s estimate of possible rate movements over the coming year taking into account current market conditions and past volatility. (iv) Commodity price risk Impact on post-tax profits and equity 30 June 2021 + % - % % 10 10 $ 85,225 (85,225) During the prior year the Group did not consider this to be a material risk/exposure to the Group and have therefore not undertaken any further analysis. As the Group has not yet entered into mineral or energy production, the risk exposure to changes in commodity price is not considered significant. (b) Credit risk Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and deposits with financial institutions, as well as trade receivables. Credit risk is managed on a Group basis. For cash balances held with bank or financial institutions, where possible only independently rated parties with a minimum rating of ‘-A’ are accepted. The Board are of the opinion that the credit risk arising as a result of the concentration of the Group's assets is more than offset by the potential benefits gained. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the assets as summarised net of credit loss provisions and impairments. 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: Cash and cash equivalents Other receivables Security deposits 2021 $ 2020 $ 3,967,738 6,512,581 164,244 - 76,648 2,768 4,131,982 6,591,997 The credit quality of financial assets are assessed by reference to external credit ratings (if available) or to historical information about counterparty default rates. The Group has adopted lifetime expected credit loss allowance in estimating expected credit loss.

All defaults were fully recovered (c) 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. Through continuous monitoring of forecast and actual cash flows the Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves to meet future cash needs. The decision on how the Group will raise future capital will depend on market conditions existing at that time. Maturities of financial liabilities The table below analyses the Group’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Less than 6 months $ 6 - 12 months $ 1 - 5 years $ Over 5 years $ Total contractual cash flows $ Carrying amount of liabilities $ At 30 June 2021 Trade and other payables 509,598 At 30 June 2020 Trade and other payables 219,903 - - - - - - 509,598 509,598 219,903 219,903 METEORIC RESOURCES NL - 47 - NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2021 16 FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) (d) Capital risk management The Group’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard the ability to continue as a going concern. This is to provide returns for shareholders, benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. The Board monitors capital on an ad-hoc basis. No formal targets are in place for return on capital, or gearing ratios, as the Group has not derived any income from operations. 17 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of accounting estimates which, by definition, will seldom equal the actual results. Management also needs to exercise judgement in applying the Group's accounting policies. This Note provides an overview of the areas that involved a higher degree of judgement or complexity and items which are more likely to be materially adjusted. Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgements is included in the Notes together with information about the basis of calculation for each affected line item in the financial statements. Significant accounting estimates and judgements The areas involving significant estimates or judgements are: • • • • • • • • Recognition of deferred tax asset for carried forward tax losses — Note 4; Asset acquisition not constituting a business combination – Note 5; Fair value of assets acquisition – Note 5; Classification of financial assets through other comprehensive income – Note 9; Fair value of financial assets through other comprehensive income – Note 9; Estimation of fair value of share-based payments – Note 15; Probability of vesting conditions being achieved– Note 15; and Estimation of contingent liabilities – Note 20. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated. They are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. There have been no actual adjustments this year as a result of an error and of changes to previous estimates. METEORIC RESOURCES NL - 48 - NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2021 18 TENEMENT EXPENDITURES CONDITIONS AND LEASING COMMITTMENTS The Company has certain obligations to perform minimum exploration work on the tenements in which it has an interest. These obligations may in some circumstances, be varied or deferred. Tenement rentals and minimum expenditure obligations which may be varied or deferred on application are expected to be met in the normal course of business. Within one year Later than one year but no later than five years Later than five years 2021 (1) $ 2020 (2) $ 287,927 844,017 434,767 312,043 423,132 504,131 1,566,710 1,239,306 1 The CA$ commitments have been translated at a rate of 1.0748 to AUD and the BRL commitments have been translated at a rate of 3.7304 to AUD. 2 The CA$ commitments have been translated at a rate of 1.0661 to AUD and the BRL commitments have been translated at a rate of 3.7335 to AUD. The Company has the ability to diminish its exposure under these commitments through the application of a variety of techniques including applying for exemptions from the regulatory expenditure obligations, surrendering tenements, relinquishing portions of tenements or entering into farm-out agreements whereby third parties bear the burdens of such obligation in whole or in part. Australian Projects The Group has certain obligations to perform minimum exploration work on tenements held. These obligations may vary over time, depending on the Group's exploration programmes and priorities. As at reporting date, total exploration expenditure commitments on tenements held is shown in the above table. These obligations are also subject to variations by farm-out arrangements, dilution with current partners or sale of the relevant tenements. This commitment does not include the expenditure commitments which are the responsibility of the joint venture partners. Canadian Projects The Group has certain obligations to perform minimum exploration work on tenements held. These obligations may vary over time, depending on the Group's exploration programmes and priorities. As at reporting date, total exploration expenditure commitments on tenements held less amount already spent is shown in the above table. Included within the tenement expenditures and commitments is deferred consideration under the claim sale agreements in relation to the Joyce Lake and Lorraine projects. These obligations are also subject to variations by farm-out arrangements or sale of the relevant tenements. Other commitments specific to projects have been detailed below. Brazil Projects The Group has no minimum obligations to perform exploration work on tenements held. 19 LOSS PER SHARE Basic and diluted loss per share Net loss after tax attributable to the members of the Company Weighted average number of ordinary shares Basic and diluted loss per share (cents) 2021 2020 $ (9,043,665) $ (7,145,567) 1,277,475,562 1,053,931,073 (0.71) (0.68) METEORIC RESOURCES NL - 49 - NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2021 20 (a) CONTINGENT LIABILITIES Contingent liabilities Native Title Tenements are commonly (but not invariably) 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. Juruena Gold and Nova Astro Projects During a prior year, in consideration for 100% equity in Batman Minerals Pty Ltd and the entities it controls Meteoric paid $1,000,000 in cash, less a payment made in arrears of $49,816 and issued 50,000,000 ordinary shares. In addition to the payments made the following contingent consideration may be due: - - AU$750,000 of ordinary fully paid shares at an issue price equal to a 5-day VWAP upon defining a mineral resource estimate in accordance with the JORC Code, at Juruena and/or Novo Astro containing at least 400,000 oz gold. AU$750,000 of ordinary fully paid shares at an issue price equal to a 5-day VWAP upon the Board of Meteoric approving a decision to mine at Juruena and/or Novo Astro, pursuant to a granted mining licence. The Group assigned no value to the consideration on acquisition of the project as at the date of acquisition it was not considered probable. (b) Contingent assets The Group has no contingent assets as at 30 June 2021 (30 June 2020: Nil). Significant judgments Contingencies & commitments As the Group is subject to various laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which it operates, significant judgment is required in determining whether any potential contingencies are required to be disclosed and/or whether any capital or operating leases require disclosure (refer to Note 18).

Meteoric Resources NL is the ultimate parent entity of the Group. The consolidated financial statements of Meteoric Resources NL for the year ended 30 June 2021 comprise the Company and its controlled subsidiaries (together referred to as the Group and individually as Group entities). Statement of compliance These general-purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Australian Accounting Group Interpretations, and the Corporations Act 2001. Meteoric Resources NL is a for- profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements. The consolidated financial statements of the Group also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Historical cost convention These financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs and do not take into account changing money values or, except where stated, current valuations of non-current assets. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. Critical accounting estimates and significant judgments critical accounting estimates. The preparation of financial statements requires the use of requires certain Management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed within Note 18. It also New and amended standards adopted by the Group The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to their operations and effective for the current annual reporting period. Other amendments did not have any impact on the amounts recognised in prior periods and are not expected to significantly affect the current or future periods. The adoption of all the new and revised Standards and Interpretations has not resulted in any changes to the Group’s accounting policies and has no effect on the amounts reported for the current or prior years. However, the above standards have affected the disclosures in the notes to the financial statements. New standards and interpretations not yet adopted Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2021 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the group. The group's assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below. These standards are not expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future transactions. future reporting periods and on foreseeable Accounting policies In order to assist in the understanding of the financial statements, the following summary explains the principal accounting policies that have been adopted in the preparation of the financial report. These policies have been applied consistently to all of the periods presented, unless otherwise stated. (a) Principles of Consolidation Subsidiaries The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of subsidiaries of the Company at the end of the reporting period. Subsidiaries are all those entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power to govern financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. the Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. Where a subsidiary has entered or left the Group during the year, the financial performance of those entities is included only for the period of the year that they were controlled. A list of subsidiaries is contained in Note 26 to the financial statements. Intercompany transactions, balances, and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated in full on consolidation. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of financial position. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. Changes in ownership interests The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the Group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the METEORIC RESOURCES NL - 55 - NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2021 adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognised in a separate reserve within equity attributable to owners of Meteoric Resources NL. When the group ceases to consolidate or equity account for an investment because of a loss of control, joint control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. This fair value becomes the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean in other amounts previously comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss. recognised that (b) Going Concern The financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Consolidated Entity is a going concern, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity, realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. (c) Segment Reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner that is consistent with the internal reporting to the chief operating decision maker, which has been identified by the company as the Board. (d) Foreign Currency Translation Functional and presentation currency Items included in the financial statements of the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates (‘the functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Meteoric Resources NL’s functional and presentation currency. Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities at the reporting date are translated at the exchange rate existing at reporting date. Exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. No dividends were paid or proposed during the year. Group companies The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: • • assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of financial position; income and expenses for each statement of profit or loss rates (unless and other comprehensive income are translated at average exchange reasonable this approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and is not a • all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, a proportionate share of such exchange difference is reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale where applicable. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate. (e) Other income Other income for other business activities is recognised on the following basis: Interest income Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on the financial asset. All revenue is stated net of Goods and Service Tax. (f) Income Tax and Other Taxes The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the in the countries where the company’s reporting period subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is It establishes provision where subject to appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. interpretation. Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred METEORIC RESOURCES NL - 56 - NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2021 income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in foreign operations where the company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. its wholly owned Australian Meteoric Resources NL and controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation. As a consequence, these entities are taxed as a single entity and the deferred tax assets and liabilities of these entities are set off in the consolidated financial statements. it relates to Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. items recognised (g) 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 which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and • receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. 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 included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flow arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority. (h) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure The Group expenses exploration and evaluation expenditure as incurred in respect of each identifiable area of interest until a time where an asset is in development. Exploration and Evaluation expenditure Exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources is the search for mineral resources after the entity has obtained legal rights to explore in a specific area as well as the determination of the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting mineral resource. Exploration and evaluation expenditure is expensed to profit or loss as incurred except when existence of a commercially viable mineral reserve has been established and it is anticipated that future economic benefits are more likely than not to be generated as a result of the expenditure. (i) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset’s values in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. 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. Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset unless the asset is carried at re- valued amount (in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease). As assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had the impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is impairment last METEORIC RESOURCES NL - 57 - NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2021 recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at the re- valued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life. (j) Cash and Cash Equivalents For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, cash in bank accounts, money market investments readily convertible to cash within two working days, and bank bills but net of outstanding bank overdrafts. (k) Trade and Other Receivables Receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less expected lifetime losses. Current receivables for GST are due for settlement within 30 days and other current receivables within 12 months. (l) Investments and Other Financial Assets The Group classifies categories: its financial assets in the following • • those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through OCI or through profit or loss); and those to be measured at amortised cost. For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the group has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). investment at Investments in equity instruments The Group subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the group's management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognised in profit or loss as other income when the group's right to receive payments is established. Changes in the fair value of financial assets at FVPL are recognised in other gains/(losses) in the statement of profit or loss as applicable. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVOCI are not reported separately from other changes in fair value. (m) Property, Plant and Equipment Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss. (n) Acquisition of Assets Where an entity or operation is acquired, the identifiable assets acquired (and, where applicable, identifiable liabilities assumed) are to be measured at the acquisition date at their relative fair values of the purchase consideration. Where the acquisition is a group of assets or net assets, the cost of acquisition will be apportioned to the individual assets acquired (and, where applicable, liabilities assumed). Where a group of assets acquired does not form an entity or operation, the cost of acquisition is apportioned to each asset in proportion to the fair values of the assets as at the acquisition date. (o) Share-Based Payment Transactions Benefits to Employees and consultants (including Directors) The Group provides benefits to employees and consultants (including directors) of the Group in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares or options (“equity- settled transactions”). The costs of these equity settled transactions are measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date on which they are granted. The fair value of performance rights granted is determined using the single barrier share option pricing model. The fair value of options granted is determined by using the Black-Scholes option pricing technique. Further details of options and performance rights granted are disclosed in Note 15. The cost of these equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled (the vesting period). At each subsequent reporting date until vesting, the cumulative charge to the profit or loss is the product of: (i) the fair value at grant date of the award; (ii) the current best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will vest, taking into account such factors as the likelihood of employee turnover during the vesting period and the likelihood of non-market performance conditions being met; and (iii) the expired portion of the vesting period. METEORIC RESOURCES NL - 58 - NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2021 The charge to profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount as calculated above less the amounts already charged in previous periods. There is a corresponding credit to equity. Until an equity instrument has vested, any amounts recorded are contingent and will be adjusted if more or fewer equity instruments vest than were originally anticipated to do so. Any equity instrument subject to a market condition is valued as if it will vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition is fulfilled, provided that all other conditions are satisfied. If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum, an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been for any modified. An additional expense modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement or is otherwise beneficial to the recipient of the award, as measured at the date of modification. is recognised If an equity-settled transaction is cancelled (other than a grant cancelled by forfeiture when the vesting conditions are not satisfied), it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new equity instrument is substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new equity instrument are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the preceding paragraph. within one year together with entitlements arising from wages and salaries, and annual leave which will be settled within one year, have been measured at their nominal amount and include related on-costs. (r) Loss Per Share Basic loss per share Basic loss per share is determined by dividing the operating loss attributable to the equity holder of the Group after income tax by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year. Diluted loss per share Diluted loss per share adjusts the figures used in determination of basic loss per share by taking into account amounts unpaid on ordinary shares and any reduction in earnings per share that will arise from the exercise of options outstanding during the year. (s) Trade and Other Payables Trade payables and other payables are carried at cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial period that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Benefits to Vendors (t) Contributed Equity The Group provides benefits to vendors of the Group in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby the vendor has render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares or options (“equity-settled transactions”). Issued and paid up capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Group. Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds received. The fair value is measured by reference to the value of the goods or services received. If these cannot be reliably measured, then by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted. (u) Dividends The cost of these equity-settled transactions is recognised over the period in which the service was received. No dividends were paid or proposed during the year. (v) Comparatives (p) Fair Value Estimation The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximately their fair value due to their short-term nature. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments. (q) Employee Entitlements The Group’s liability for employee entitlements arising from services rendered by employees to reporting date is recognised in other payables. Employee entitlements expected to be settled Comparative figures have been restated to conform with the current year’s presentation. This has had no impact on the financial statements. (w) Parent Entity Financial Information information for the parent entity, Meteoric The financial Resources NL, disclosed in Note 26 has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements except as set out below: Investments in subsidiaries Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost and subject to an annual impairment review.

Share-based payments are a complex accounting area and due to the judgemental estimates used in determining the fair value of performance rights in accordance with the Accounting Standards, we consider management’s calculation of the share- based payment expense to be a key audit matter. Our audit procedures included, but were not limited to the following: • Examining market announcements and board minutes to determine whether all the new performance rights granted during the year were accounted for; • Reviewing the relevant agreements to obtain an understanding of the contractual nature of the performance rights arrangements; • Reviewing management’s determination of the fair value of the performance rights granted, considering the appropriateness of the valuation models used and assessing the valuation inputs; • • • Involving our valuation specialists to assess the reasonableness of management’s fair value calculation; Evaluating management’s assessment of the timing of meeting the performance conditions attached to the performance rights; and Evaluating the adequacy of the disclosures in respect of the accounting treatment of the performance rights in Note 15(b) to the financial statements, including significant judgements involved. 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 2021, 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.
