The last 12 months have been extremely busy for the Company, with multiple drill programmes completed at the Gidji JV and Glandore Projects and additional exploration activities completed across other projects in the Eastern Goldfields, Murchison, and Gascoyne regions. Following on from the initial high-grade drilling results at the Gidji JV, further programmes of systematic aircore drilling have now outlined at least four large aircore gold footprints, at the Marylebone, Blackfriars, Piccadilly, and Highway targets, each of which has the potential to host significant bedrock gold mineralisation. RC drilling now aims to identify the bedrock source of these footprints, and the Company is confident that, given its geographical location just 15km north of Kalgoorlie, and the significant amount of aircore gold anomalism outlined to date, the Project will host significant gold mineralisation. The first drilling campaigns completed at the 100%-owned Glandore Project, 40km east of Kalgoorlie, also outlined significant aircore gold anomalism under Lake Yindarlgooda and the Company recently announced that the first diamond hole at the “Glandore East” target intersected high-grade and visible gold at the contact between a mafic complex and a later granite intrusion. The local geology and structure looks very similar to the 0.5Moz Majestic deposit immediately south of the Glandore Project. Away from the two key Goldfields projects, the Company has also been active in the Ashburton and Gascoyne regions, where two phases of surface geochemical sampling at the Whaleshark project, 40km east of Onslow, outlined large Cu-Au-A-U-REE anomalies suggestive of buried IOCG mineralisation beneath the Carnarvon Basin. The Company recently completed some shallow aircore drilling over the main anomaly at Whaleshark to search for geochemical anomalism at the interface between the overlying sediments and the Proterozoic basement rocks and looks forward to reporting these results. At Miramar’s Bangemall Ni-Cu-PGE Project, located in the Gascoyne region, the Company expanded its strategic land position and completed an EM survey at the “Mt Vernon” prospect. The EM survey outlined multiple late-time EM anomalies which could be related to Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation related to Proterozoic dolerite dykes and sills. Further geochemical sampling is planned to assist with target generation. Miramar strengthened its financial position during the year via a Placement raising $2.4 million (before costs). This has enabled the Company to accelerate multiple drilling campaigns across the Gidji JV Project, while continuing ongoing exploration activities at Glandore and other projects. I would like to take this opportunity to thank to my fellow Board members, the Company’s small but dedicated team of employees, contractors and consultants, and the many shareholders who have expressed their confidence and belief in our projects and people. Our Gidji JV and Glandore gold projects remain particularly exciting, and we look forward to building upon our exploration success in the coming year. We will continue our strategy of systematic exploration across multiple projects to create shareholder value through discovery. Allan Kelly Executive Chairman MIRAMAR RESOURCES LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 2 DIRECTORS’ REPORT OPERATIONAL REVIEW During the reporting period, Miramar continued to systematically explore its portfolio of projects within the Eastern Goldfields, Murchison and Gascoyne regions of Western Australia. The focus continued to be predominantly on the Gidji JV Project, where a number of drilling campaigns, and geochemical and geophysical surveys were undertaken, however various other exploration programmes were also completed across the Glandore, Lang Well, Whaleshark and Bangemall Projects EASTERN GOLDFIELDS PROJECTS Miramar has three projects in the Eastern Goldfields with the potential for new gold discoveries within proximity to existing mining and/or processing operations (Figure 1). Figure 1. Eastern Goldfields Projects showing proximity to existing gold operations. GIDJI JV PROJECT (Miramar 80%) The Gidji JV Project is located approximately 15km north of Kalgoorlie and is located within a major regional structure, the “Boorara Shear Zone”, which hosts gold mineralisation at Paddington, approximately 10km to the northwest, and Horizon Minerals’ “Boorara” gold operation to the southeast (Figure 2). The project has been poorly explored despite its location in proximity to major gold deposits. Soon after listing on the ASX in October 2020, Miramar conducted an initial aircore drilling campaign at Gidji which returned results up to 2m @ 7.69g/t Au in quartz vein material from the newly recognised “Marylebone” target. Throughout the reporting period, Miramar continued to systematically explore the Gidji JV Project resulting in the discovery of multiple large aircore gold anomalies at the Marylebone, Blackfriars and Highway targets. Significant aircore results from drilling of these targets during the reporting period included: 3 MIRAMAR RESOURCES LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 GIDJI JV PROJECT (Miramar 80%)(cont’d)) Marylebone  GJAC306 – 1m @ 6.92g/t Au (48-49m)  GJAC315 – 3m @ 2.61g/t Au (45-48m) including 1m @ 6.16g/t Au  GJAC318 – 1m @ 3.54g/t Au (53-54m)  GJAC325 – 4m @ 1.11g/t Au (46-50m) including 1m @ 3.55g/t Au  GJAC328 – 1m @ 5.15g/t Au (52-53m)  GJAC490 – 2m @ 5.28g/t Au (52-54m)  GJAC491 – 1m @ 8.55g/t Au (55-56m)  GJAC492 – 1m @ 11.00g/t Au (55-56m)  GJAC559 – 2m @ 4.61g/t Au (53-55m) including 1m @ 7.76g/t Au  GJAC562 – 8m @ 1.63g/t Au (48-56m EOH)  GJAC645 – 2m @ 4.72g/t Au (56-58m)  GJAC646 – 5m @ 2.52g/t Au (56-60m) including 1m @ 12.6g/t Au  GJAC649 – 7m @ 3.23g/t Au (57-64m) including 3m @ 7.12g/t Au Blackfriars  GJAC627 - 1m @ 11.80g/t Au (46-47m EOH) Highway  GJAC717 – 5m @ 0.87g/t Au from 48m, including 1m @ 1.87g/t Au  GJAC718 – 1m @ 2.9g/t Au from 52m  GJAC721 – 4m @ 2.95g/t Au from 48m, including 3m @ 3.78g/t Au  GJAC725 – 8m @ 0.77g/t Au from 48m, 4m @ 1.13g/t Au  GJAC727 – 1m @ 2.53g/t Au from 51m Several RC holes were also drilled at the Marylebone target, including a “fence” designed to assist in interpretation of the bedrock geology. The RC drilling confirmed the presence of mafic intrusive units like those seen at the Paddington and Panglo deposits, but no significant bedrock gold mineralisation has been intersected to date.

MIRAMAR RESOURCES LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 4 DIRECTORS’ REPORT GLANDORE (Miramar 100%) located within The 100%-owned Glandore Project is the Eastern Goldfields, approximately 40km east of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia and covers approximately 42 square km. The project consists of 10 Prospecting Licences and one Exploration Licence, all of which are granted. The highest priority western part of the project is underlain by a layered mafic sill intruding into basalt and sedimentary rocks. The sill comprises varieties of dolerite and gabbro analogous to the Golden Mile Dolerite. The local geology has been folded into a north-plunging antiform with the project located on the eastern limb, southeast of the hinge zone which has been intruded by a granodiorite and felsic porphyry dykes. The prospective geology is overlain by up to 50m of recent playa lake sediments which thin towards the west. Exploration has been mostly limited to the western part of the the Prospecting project, within Licences, and has been sporadic since the late 1980’s. Previous including exploration aircore drilling outlined a significant area of anomalous gold on the eastern side of the late granite pluton (Figure 4). Limited diamond drilling returned significant results including 6m @ 29.8g/t Au, however most sections have no systematic bedrock testing. Mineralisation remains open at depth. The Company completed first pass land and lake aircore drilling in September 2021 with the majority of the program testing the western side of the granite pluton. The program successfully outlined coherent shallow supergene gold anomalism over five kilometres of strike across multiple targets and extended the Glandore East footprint to the south by at least one kilometre (Figure 4). almost Figure 4. Glandore Project showing aircore anomalism and targets. Multiple holes in the program returned and/or ended in results >0.25g/t Au. At the end of the reporting period, the Company was finalising plans for a diamond drilling program at the high-grade Glandore East target. The program will follow up on significant historical drill intersections and test extension of mineralization along strike. The Company is also planning follow-up aircore drilling, both on the lake and on the “island” to the south and southwest of Glandore East. 5 MIRAMAR RESOURCES LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 DIRECTORS’ REPORT RANDALLS The Randalls Project is located immediately east of Silver Lake Resources Limited’s Mt Belches gold operations, approximately 70km east of Kalgoorlie (Figure 5). The Project consists of a single Exploration (E25/596), Licence which was granted in September 2021, and covers the same folded Banded Iron Formation that hosts the gold mineralisation currently being mined by Silver Lake. A first pass aircore drilling program, designed to test the obvious fold- hinge targets, is planned for the second half of 2022. Figure 5. Randalls Project showing proximity to Silver Lake Resources’ gold operations. DRILLING SUMMARY The Company completed the following drilling during the year: Project Gidji Glandore Aircore RC Holes 373 190 Metres 21,147 5,889 Holes 20 – Metres 3,083 – MIRAMAR RESOURCES LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 6 DIRECTORS’ REPORT GASCOYNE REGION PROJECTS Miramar has two projects within the Proterozoic Capricorn Orogen (Figure 6):  Whaleshark – folded BIF/granite complex under Carnarvon Basin sediments  Bangemall – multiple applications over areas prospective for Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation Figure 6. Location map for Miramar’s Gascoyne region projects. WHALESHARK The Whaleshark Project is located 40km east of Onslow, WA, and consists of a single Exploration Licence, E08/3166. The Project is located within the north-western extension of the Proterozoic Capricorn Orogen and is characterised by a folded Banded Iron Formation (BIF) intruded by a later granite and under approximately 100m of Carnarvon Basin sediments (Figure 7). Previous exploration included limited diamond drilling which intersected anomalous gold within the folded BIF. The Project is prospective for Proterozoic BIF-hosted Au and Iron Oxide Cu-Au mineralisation. The Company completed two phases of soil sampling in July and October 2021. The first program was wide spaced (1000m x 500m) and identified several large multi- element anomalies via Mobile Metal Ion (MMI) analysis which appear like that seen over the recently discovered Havieron Au-Cu deposit. The second infill program was conducted on a tighter 250m x 250m grid and outlined two large areas of coincident Cu-U-REE anomalism on the eastern and north eastern margin of the granite (Figure 7). This element association is strongly suggestive of buried IOCG mineralisation. An infill gravity survey was completed however unseasonal heavy rains delayed the commencement of the Company’s first pass aircore drilling program until August 2022. The aircore drilling program will test for geochemical anomalism at the interface between the Proterozoic basement and overlying Cretaceous sediments beneath the two MMI anomalies. Results of the aircore program will guide follow-on deeper drilling programs. Figure 7. Whaleshark Project showing MMI anomalies related to the granite intrusion. 7 MIRAMAR RESOURCES LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 BANGEMALL (NI-CU-PGE) Figure 8. Regional geological setting for the Bangemall Project tenements. Figure 9. Mt Vernon target showing preliminary VTEM survey data (B-Field Z Channel 49). DIRECTORS’ REPORT The Bangemall Projects cover a series of major crustal-scale structures in the Capricorn Orogen between the Yilgarn and Pilbara cratons (Figure 8). The area has been highlighted by both the GSWA and Geoscience Australia as having high prospectivity for Proterozoic craton margin Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation like that seen in the Albany-Fraser Province (e.g. Nova-Bollinger), the West Musgraves (e.g. Nebo-Babel) and the giant Voisey Bay and Norilsk deposits. The Project consists of several Exploration Licence applications that cover areas with:     proximity to major crustal-scale faults - confirmed by seismic traverses numerous Proterozoic-aged dolerite dykes/sills with the same age as the West Musgraves regional-scale stream sediment Ni- Cu-Pt-Pd anomalism from GSWA sampling regional-scale airborne EM conductors The area has seen substantial exploration for Cu-Pb-Zn but minimal exploration for Ni-Cu-PGE’s. The Company completed an airborne EM survey over the Mt Vernon target in early 2022. The survey was conducted at significantly tighter line spacing of 400m relative to the previously conducted 5km spaced government TEMPEST EM survey lines. The resulting survey data identified multiple large late-time EM anomalies that may indicate the presence of bedrock Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation associated with dolerite sills (Figure 9). The anomalies range in strike length from 500m to over 1.2km. Future work on the Mt Vernon target will include field checking of the anomalies, along with surface geochemical sampling and prospecting, with a view to conducting ground EM surveys in order to define potential drill targets. MIRAMAR RESOURCES LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 8 DIRECTORS’ REPORT MURCHISON REGION PROJECTS Miramar has two under-explored projects in the Murchison region:  Lang Well  Lakeside LANG WELL The Lang Well Project consists of a single Exploration Licence covering a large, remnant greenstone belt located between the Deflector, Golden Grove and Rothsay gold operations (Figure 11). Historical rock chip sampling returned results from 0.10g/t up to 16g/t Au whilst auger drilling in 2010 identified several large +5km long gold +/-pathfinder anomalies which have not been drill tested. A review of historic and government open file data during the period highlighted multiple pegmatite occurrences indicating the potential for Rare Earth Element (REE) and/or Lithium mineralisation (Figure 10). Significantly, there is no recorded analysis of REE’s or Lithium for any of the pegmatite occurrences or the auger sampling. The historic auger sampling was followed up by a limited aircore program which intersected highly anomalous REE’s - including 4m @ 0.15% Total Rare Earth Oxides (TREO) – in hole BADAC33 (Figure 10). Holes 50m either side also had anomalous REE’s. The Company is planning a systematic rock chip sampling program to examine the REE and lithium potential of the various pegmatites. The proposed aircore drilling program, designed to test the +5km gold +/- pathfinder auger anomalies, has been delayed pending results of the rock chip sampling. Figure 11. Lang Well Project location and regional geology. Figure 10. Lang Well Project showing pegmatites in relation to GSWA surface geology. LAKESIDE No work was completed as the Company waits for this tenement to be granted. 9 MIRAMAR RESOURCES LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 DIRECTORS’ REPORT CORPORATE REVIEW CAPITAL STRUCTURE The Company announced completion of a placement to sophisticated investors on 2 May 2022 raising approximately $2.4 million (before costs)(Placement).

B. C. D. E. Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration Details of remuneration Service agreements Share–based compensation Additional information The information provided in this remuneration report has been audited as required by section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001. A. Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration The whole Board forms the Remuneration Committee. The remuneration policy has been designed to align director and executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component with the flexibility to offer specific long term incentives based on key performance areas affecting the Group’s financial results. The Board believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best directors and executives to manage the Group. The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for Board members and senior executives is as follows:      The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior executives, was developed by the Board. All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience) and superannuation. The Board reviews executive packages annually and determines policy recommendations by reference to executive performance and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries. The Board may exercise discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options. The policy is designed to attract and retain the highest calibre of executives and reward them for performance that results in long term growth in shareholder wealth. The Executive Director and executives receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government where applicable, which is currently 10% (30 June 2021: 9.5%) of base salary and do not receive any other retirement benefits. All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at the cost to the Group and expensed. Options are valued using an appropriate valuation methodology where relevant. The Board policy is to remunerate non–executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The Board determines payments to the non–executive directors and reviews the remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. An independent external advice was sought during the year which shows that the non-executive director was paid under the average fee. The non-executive director’s fee increased from 1 July 2022 to $30,000. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to Non–Executive Directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. The approved maximum aggregate amount that may be paid to Non-Executive Directors as remuneration for each financial year is set at $500,000 which may be divided among the Non-Executive Directors in the manner determined by the Board and Company from time to time. Fees for Non–Executive Directors are not linked to the performance of the Company.  The 2021 remuneration report was approved at the last Annual General Meeting held on 4 November 2021. Use of remuneration consultants During the financial year ended 30 June 2022, the Board as a whole, engaged The Reward Practice, remuneration consultants, to review its existing directors’ remuneration benchmarked against its peers, and provide recommendations on how to improve both the STI and LTI programs. This has resulted in an increase to the Directors’ salaries and fees by 5% which corresponded with the Annual Wage Review recommended by the Fair Work Commission and share- based payments remuneration in the form of Performance Rights (STI) being implemented. The Reward Practice was paid $14,850 for these services. The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase the direct positive relationship between shareholders investment objectives and directors and executive performance. The Company facilitates this through the issue of options from time to time to the directors and executives to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests. The Company believes this policy will be effective in increasing shareholder wealth. The Company currently has no performance based remuneration component built into director and executive remuneration packages.

General Information Miramar Resources Limited (Miramar or the Company) is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia, and whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. The consolidated financial report of the Group as at year ended 30 June 2022 comprises the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the Group). Miramar is a for profit company limited by shares incorporated and domiciled in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are mineral exploration and project development which is further described in the Directors’ Report. Information on other related party relationships is provided in note 25. 2. Summary of significant accounting policies The financial report is a general purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board. The financial report includes the financial statements of Miramar Resources Limited and its subsidiaries. The financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. (a) Basis of preparation The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical cost, except for certain financial assets and liabilities which are carried at fair value. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted. Separate financial statements for Miramar as an individual entity are no longer presented as the consequence of a change to the Corporations Act 2001, however, required financial information for Miramar as an individual entity is included in note 30. The accounting policies set out below have been applied in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 and the comparative information presented in these financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2021. (b) New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted The Group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. Interpretations issued by New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2022. The Group has not yet assessed the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations. (c) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, cash in banks and investments in money market instruments that are readily convertible to known amount of cash which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. (d) Employee benefits Provision is made for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries and annual leave when it is probable that settlement will be required and they are capable of being measured reliably. Liabilities recognised in respect of employee benefits expected to be settled within 12 months, are measured at their nominal values using the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement. Liabilities recognised in respect of employee benefits which are not expected to be settled within 12 months are measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the Group in respect of services provided by employees up to reporting date. (e) Financial assets Financial assets are recognised and derecognised on trade date where purchase or sale of an investment is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the investment within the timeframe established by the market concerned, and are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs. Subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), amortised cost, or fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). The classification is based on two criteria: the Group’s business model for managing the assets; and whether the instruments’ contractual cash flows represent ‘solely payments of principal and interest’ (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding (SPPI criterion). The SPPI test is applied to the entire financial asset, even if it contains an embedded derivative. Consequently, a derivative embedded in a debt instrument is not accounted for separately. Trade and other receivables Trade receivables are initially recognised at their transaction price and other receivables at fair value. Receivables that are held to collect contractual cash flows and are expected to give rise to cash flows representing solely payments of principal and interest are classified and subsequently measured at amortised cost. Receivables that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost are measured at FVPL. The Group assesses on a forward-looking basis the ECL associated with its debt instruments carried at amortised cost. The amount of ECL is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective financial instrument. The Group always recognises the lifetime ECL for trade receivables carried at amortised cost. The ECL on these financial assets are estimated based on the Group’s historic credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current as well as forecast conditions at the reporting date. For all other receivables measured at amortised cost, the Group recognises lifetime ECL when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If the credit risk on the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to ECL within the next 12 months.

Statement of significant accounting policies (cont’d) (e) Financial assets (cont’d) (h) Impairment of non-financial assets At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash–generating unit to which the asset belongs. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any), being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use to the asset’s carrying value. Excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre–tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash–generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the cash–generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at fair value, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase. (i) Tax Current tax Current tax is calculated by reference to the amount of income taxes payable or recoverable in respect of the taxable profit or tax loss for the period. It is calculated using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. Current tax for current and prior periods is recognised as a liability (or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable). Deferred tax Deferred tax is accounted for using the full liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax base of those items. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates and joint ventures except where the entity is able to control the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with these investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future. The Group considers an event of default has occurred when a financial asset is more than 90 days past due or external sources indicate that the debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors, including the Group. A financial asset is credit impaired when there is evidence that the counterparty is in significant financial difficulty or a breach of contract, such as a default or past due event has occurred. The Group writes off a financial asset when there is information indicating the counterparty is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery. Equity instruments Shares and options held by the Group are classified as equity instruments and are stated at FVPL. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised directly to profit or loss for the period. Loans receivables Loans receivables are classified, at initial recognition, and subsequently measured at amortised cost, FVOCI, or FVPL. Loan receivables that are held to collect contractual cash flows and are expected to give rise to cash flows representing solely payments of principal and interest are classified and subsequently measured at amortised cost. Loan receivables that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost are measured at FVPL. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets not measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Typically, such financial assets will be either: (i) held for trading, where they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the short-term with an intention of making a profit, or a derivative; or (ii) designated as such upon initial recognition where permitted. Fair value movements are recognised in profit or loss. (f) Financial instruments issued by the Company Debt and equity instruments Debt and equity instruments are classified as either liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. Transaction costs on the issue of equity instruments Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the proceeds of the equity instruments to which the costs relate. Transaction costs are the costs that are incurred directly in connection with the issue of those equity instruments and which would not have been incurred had those instruments not been issued. (g) Goods and services tax Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except: i. where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense; or ii. for receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables. Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified as operating cash flows. 29 MIRAMAR RESOURCES LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the financial year ended 30 June 2022 2. Statement of significant accounting policies (cont’d) (i) Tax (cont’d) (l) Exploration and evaluation expenditure Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period(s) when the asset and liability giving rise to them are realised or settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the entity expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the entity intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. Current and deferred tax for the period Current and deferred tax is recognised as an expense or income in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, except when it relates to items credited or debited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised directly in equity, or where it arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, in which case it is taken into account in the determination of goodwill or excess. Tax consolidation Legislation to allow groups, comprising a parent entity and its Australian resident wholly owned entities, to elect to consolidate and be treated as a single entity for income tax purposes was substantively enacted on 21 October 2002. The Company and its 100% owned Australian resident subsidiaries implemented the tax consolidation legislation on 28 May 2020 with Miramar as the head entity. (j) Government grants Government grants are recognised where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as income on a systematic basis over the periods that the related costs, for which it is intended to compensate, are expensed. When the grant relates to an asset, it is recognised as income in equal amounts over the expected useful life of the related asset. When the Group receives grants of non-monetary assets, the asset and the grant are recorded at nominal amounts and released to profit or loss over the expected useful life of the asset, based on the pattern of consumption of the benefits of the underlying asset by equal annual instalments. (k) Plant and equipment Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the item. Depreciation is provided on plant and equipment. Depreciation is calculated on a straight line or diminishing value basis so as to write off the net cost of each asset over its expected useful life to its estimated residual value. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period. The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are: Class of fixed asset Depreciation rate (%) Office furniture Office equipment Motor vehicles 25.0 – 33.33 25.0 – 33.33 25.0 Exploration and evaluation expenditure in relation to each separate area of interest are recognised as capitalised exploration and evaluation asset in the year in which they are incurred where the following conditions are satisfied: i. the right to tenure of the area of interest are current; and ii. at least once of the following conditions is also met:   the exploration and evaluation expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploration of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; or exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not, at the reporting date, reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active operations in, or relating to, the area are continuing. Capitalised exploration costs for each area of interest (considered to be the cash generating unit) are reviewed each reporting date to test whether an indication of impairment exists. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the capitalised exploration costs is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). The recoverable amount for capitalised exploration costs has been determined as the fair value less costs to sell by reference to an active market. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in previous years. Where a decision is made to proceed with development, accumulated expenditure is tested for impairment and transferred to capitalised development and then amortised over the life of the reserves associated with the area of interest once mining operations have commenced. (m) Joint arrangements Joint ventures A joint venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. The considerations made in determining significant influence or joint control is similar to those necessary to determine control over subsidiaries. The Group’s investments in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment in a joint venture is initially recognised at cost. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to recognise changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the joint venture since the acquisition date. Goodwill relating to the joint venture is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is neither amortised nor individually tested for impairment. MIRAMAR RESOURCES LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 30 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. Statement of significant accounting policies (cont’d) (m) Joint arrangements (cont’d) (n) Principles of consolidation (cont’d) When the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:    The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee; Rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights. The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary. Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation. A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it:  De-recognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary;  De-recognises the carrying amount of any non-controlling interests;  De-recognises the cumulative translation differences     recorded in equity; Recognises the fair value of the consideration received; Recognises the fair value of any investment retained; Recognises any surplus or deficit in profit or loss; and Reclassifies the parent’s share of components previously recognised in OCI to profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate, as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. A list of subsidiaries appears in note 4 to the financial statements. (o) Operating cycle The operating cycle of the Group coincides with the annual reporting cycle. (p) Payables Trade payables and other accounts payable are recognised when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments resulting from the purchase of goods and services. The statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income reflects the Group’s share of the results of operations of the joint venture. Any change in OCI of those investees is presented as part of the Group’s OCI. In addition, when there has been a change recognised directly in the equity of the joint venture, the Group recognises its share of any changes, when applicable, in the statement of changes in equity. Unrealised gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the joint venture. The aggregate of the Group’s share of profit or loss of a joint venture is shown on the face of the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income outside operating profit and represents profit or loss after tax and non-controlling interests in the subsidiaries of the joint venture. The financial statements of the joint venture are prepared for the same reporting period as the Group. When necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Group. After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognise an impairment loss on its investment in its joint venture. At each reporting date, the Group determines whether there is objective evidence that the investment in the joint venture is impaired. If there is such evidence, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the joint venture and its carrying value, then recognises the loss as ‘Share of profit of a joint venture’ in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Upon loss of joint control over the joint venture, the Group measures and recognises any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the joint venture upon loss of joint control and the fair value of the retained investment and proceeds from disposal is recognised in profit or loss. Joint operations The Group recognises its interest in joint operations by recognising its:  Assets, including its share of any assets held jointly   Liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly Revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation Share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation Expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly   (n) Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended 30 June 2022. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has:    Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee); Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns. 31 MIRAMAR RESOURCES LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the financial year ended 30 June 2022 2. Statement o f significant accounting policies (cont’d) (q) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation, the future sacrifice of economic benefits is probable, and the amount of the provision can be measured reliably. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation as a result of a past event at reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cashflows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cashflows. When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that recovery will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably. (r) Share–based payments Equity–settled share–based payments are measured at fair value at the date of grant. Fair value is measured by use of an appropriate valuation model. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of non–transferability, exercise restrictions, and behavioural considerations. The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity–settled share–based payments is expensed on a straight–line basis over the vesting period, based on the entity’s estimate of shares that will eventually vest. For cash–settled share–based payments, a liability equal to the portion of the goods or services received is recognised at the current fair value determined at each reporting date. (s) Revenue recognition Revenue is recognised when or as the Group transfers control of goods or services to a customer at the amount to which the Group expects to be entitled. If the Group estimates the amount of consideration promised includes a variable amount, the Group estimates the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled. Dividend and interest revenue Dividend revenue is recognised on a receivable basis. Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on the financial asset. (t) Segment reporting policy Operating segments are identified and segment information disclosed on the basis of internal reports that are regularly provided to, or reviewed by the Group’s chief operating decision maker which, for the Group, is the Board of Directors. In this regard, such information is provided using similar measures to those used in preparing the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and statement of financial position. (u) Leases The Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration Group as a lessee The Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases (i.e., leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets. (u) Leases (cont’d) (i) Right-of-use assets The Group recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any re-measurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of- use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Unless the Group is reasonably certain to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the recognised right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of its estimated useful life and the lease term (where the Group does not have a purchase option at the end of the lease term). Right- of-use assets are subject to impairment assessment. (ii) Lease Liabilities At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for terminating a lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expense in the period on which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the in-substance fixed lease payments or a change in the assessment to purchase the underlying asset. (iii) Short-term leases and Low Value Assets The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of their Office Spaces (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption (i.e. below $5,000). Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low- value assets are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term. (v) Fair value measurement The Group measures equity instrument at fair value and receivables are measured at amortised costs at each reporting date. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:   In the principal market for the asset or liability; or In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. MIRAMAR RESOURCES LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 32 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. Statement o f significant accounting policies (cont’d) (v) Fair value measurement (cont’d) All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:    Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable; or Level 3: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable. (w) Issued capital Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. (x) Earnings per share Basic earnings per share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of Miramar Resources Limited, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year. Diluted earnings per share Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive. 3. Critical accounting estimates and judgements In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in note 2, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstance, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are: Key judgements — capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure The future recoverability of exploration and evaluation expenditure capitalised on the acquisition of areas of interest and/or capitalised JORC compliant mineral resource expenditure are dependent on a number of factors, including whether the Group decides to exploit the related lease itself or, if not, whether it successfully recovers the related exploration and evaluation asset through sale. To the extent that capitalised acquisition costs and/or capitalised JORC compliant mineral resource expenditure are determined not to be recoverable in the future, profits and net assets will be reduced in the period in which this determination is made. Key judgements — share–based payments The Group measures the cost of equity settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using an appropriate valuation model. The related assumptions detailed in note 8. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact expenses and equity. 33 MIRAMAR RESOURCES LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the financial year ended 30 June 2022 4.

Financial risk management objectives and policies (cont’d) (d) Liquidity risk The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. The following table details the Group’s non-derivative financial instruments according to their contractual maturities. The amounts disclosed are based on contractual undiscounted cash flows. 2022 Trade and other payables Total 2021 Trade and other payables Total (e) Credit risk Less than 6 months $ 6 – 12 months $ 1 – 2 years $ 2+ years $ 409,831 409,831 376,704 376,704 – – – – – – – – – – – – Total $ 409,831 409,831 376,704 376,704 Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Group’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored. The Group measures credit risk on a fair value basis. The Group does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics. The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit–ratings assigned by international credit–rating agencies. (f) Market risk Market risk is the potential for loss arising from adverse movements in the level and volatility of equity prices. The Group’s listed equity investments are as detailed in note 11. A 5 per cent increase at reporting date in the equity prices would increase the market value of the securities by $2,797 (2021: $4,322) and an equal change in the opposite direction would decrease the value by the same amount. The increase/decrease would be reflected in equity as these financial instruments are classified as available–for–sale. The increase/decrease net of deferred tax would be $2,070 (2021: $3,025). (g) Capital risk management The Group’s policy is to endeavour to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The Group sources any additional funding requirements from either debt or equity markets depending on the market conditions at the time the funds are sourced and the purpose for which the funds are to be used. The Group is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. 29. Financial instruments The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group approximated their carrying amount. It does not include fair value information for financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value if the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value. The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value by value measurement hierarchy. Quantitative disclosures fair value measurement hierarchy as at 30 June 2022 Assets measured at fair value Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss (note 11): Quoted equity shares (i) Total Quoted prices in active market (Level 1) $ Significant observable inputs (Level 2) $ Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) $ Total $ 55,933 55,933 – – – – 55,933 55,933 MIRAMAR RESOURCES LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 46 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 28.

The fair value of the financial assets is 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 following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value: (i) Fair value of equity instruments and financial assets is derived from quoted market prices in active markets.
