Stanmore Annual Report 2021 1 Chairman’s letter This year has been a truly transformative year for Stanmore, with the Company on its way to becoming one of the largest global exporters of metallurgical coal. Dear Shareholders, The start of 2021 was a testing period for Stanmore and the industry. The COVID-19 pandemic continued to present challenges to operations and the global coal market; Australian metallurgical coal prices were at near all-time lows; and disruptions to the Asian coal market trade flow persisted. In the second half of the year, a rebound in industrial activity as well as tight supply saw a swing in coal prices, reaching record highs by the end of the year. Against this backdrop of uncertain and volatile conditions, we rose to the challenge to significantly reposition Stanmore as a leading metallurgical coal producer on a global scale. We undertook significant works to bring Isaac Downs online with operations to fully commence in 2022 and we announced the acquisition of BHP’s 80% interest in BHP Mitsui Coal Pty Ltd (BMC). The Company is progressing well with its transition to Isaac Downs. Our successful ramp up of operations at Isaac Downs resulted in record production and sales in H2 2021, in time to take advantage of the record high metallurgical coal prices prevailing in the market. Key infrastructure works, including construction of the new Underpass and Diversion of Peak Downs Highway are nearing completion. The coming year will see Stanmore fully transition into Isaac Downs where the lower strip ratios will further lower cost and improve operating margins. We also completed the acquisition of a 50% interest in Millennium and Mavis Downs Mine in July 2021. The acquisition represented a low capital investment opportunity in high quality metallurgical coal, supported by access to existing critical infrastructure. From a state of care and maintenance, mining operations rapidly restarted with first ROM coal produced in Q3 2021 followed by first coal export in Q4 2021. We look forward to working with our JV partner and contractors in transforming the Millennium complex into a successful tier 1 operation. 2 Stanmore Annual Report 2021 Lastly, and most transformative to the Company, is our successful bid to acquire an 80% interest in BMC. The BMC mines are top tier de-risked and cash generating operating assets, backed by experienced people and high-quality equipment and infrastructure access. The acquisition is a highly strategic move, resulting in Stanmore having a portfolio of four mines and three wash-plants within an approximate 50km radius in the premium Bowen Basin region. Upon completion of the acquisition, Stanmore will be positioned as one of the largest global exporters of metallurgical coal. Despite carrying out multiple workstreams over the course of the year, Stanmore remained true to its values. Safety and wellbeing of our staff and contractors remains the top priority of the Company. Stanmore’s safety incident rates remain below industry average. Stanmore has also implemented effective COVID-19 protocols at the Isaac Plains Complex throughout the year. In addition to supporting 40 local community organisations over the year, we are developing a Reconciliation Action Plan involving long term strategies to increase Indigenous employment and business opportunities, in recognition of the need for reconciliation with the traditional owners of the land on which the company operates. Stanmore acknowledges that climate change is a critical issue and commits to play a part in the transition to a low carbon world. We aspire to be a responsible and sustainability driven resources company, to that end we are developing a comprehensive set of ESG policies to guide emissions reductions and mitigation initiatives. The Company is off to a strong start for the next financial year and is well placed to take advantage of the strong metallurgical coal prices. Completion of the BMC acquisition is expected 3 May 2022 and we look forward to this significant milestone for the Company. On behalf of the Board, I would like to sincerely thank the employees, management team, contract partners and professional advisors of the Company for their unyielding efforts over past 12 months. I would also like to thank shareholders for their continued support. Dwi Suseno Stanmore Annual Report 2021 3 Chief Executive Officer’s Report 2021 was a tale of two halves for Stanmore. The Company overcame a challenging first half but ended the year strongly. 4 Dear Shareholders, The Company overcame a challenging first half impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, historically low coal prices and operational challenges at Isaac Plains East but ended the year strongly with the successful transition to Isaac Downs, record production and the transformational agreement to acquire an 80% interest in BMC. Production volumes in 1H 2021 were below usual historic annualised levels of 2.3 – 2.4Mt, impacted by the transition to Isaac Downs, reduced fleet capacity, La-Nina weather systems and cost controls at Isaac Plains East. Despite a challenging first half, we swiftly ramped up operations at Isaac Downs in 2H 2021 following receipt of mining lease approval in July and achieved record ROM production at c.95% of nameplate capacity for the Isaac Plains CHPP. Monthly feed rates and sales also exceeded historic levels in the second half, more than offsetting softer production in 1H 2021. FOB (free on board) cash cost for the period was A$104/t in 2021, 15% lower than in CY20. In 2H 2021, unit costs were even lower at A$87/t, representing a 19% improvement on 2H 2020. The lower unit cost outcomes were the result of lower strip ratios realised from the Isaac Downs transition. We expect that production rates and unit costs will continue to improve in the next 2 to 3 years, following the transition of the dragline to Isaac Downs in Q1 2022 which will enable mining of a lower strip ratio area. Strong operational performance, particularly in 2H 2021, has translated into strong financial performance. Cash flow from operations was A$127m and underlying EBITDA for the period increased to A$54m in 2021, 127% higher than in CY20. The improved result was facilitated by coal price recovery through the second half of the year, lower FOB costs and strong production. We expect a tight market with strong demand to continue with buoyant global industrial production and tight supply. Stanmore Annual Report 2021 Cash Flow A$127m from operations Underlying EBITDA A$54m 127% higher than CY20 During the year A$1.65m was invested in the rehabilitation of the Isaac Plains Complex, 56 hectares of land was recontoured and 44 hectares was seeded for re-vegetation. To date, 39% of all disturbed land at Isaac Plains is already under rehabilitation. We are committed to integrating this core activity within our operations to ensure timely and efficient rehabilitation of the land on which we operate. Stanmore is acutely focused on safety and ensuring that the ramp-up of production at Isaac Downs and integration of BMC is achieved in a safe and efficient way. Stanmore undertook or managed 754,930 hours of coal mining, drilling, exploration and mine development activities in 2021 and the Total Reportable Injury Frequency Rate was 7.9 per million hours. This result is below industry averages and is a testament to the ongoing efforts of our team, who are committed to maintaining the highest standards of safety discipline. The coming financial year will see Stanmore fully transition into Isaac Downs where the dragline will be uncovering coal rapidly given the lower strip ratios benefitting us with lower costs, improved margins and potentially higher volumes. Stanmore expects to complete the acquisition of an 80% interest in BMC on 3 May 2022 which will be a significant milestone for the Company and represent a step change in scale and operations to see Stanmore become a significant global metallurgical coal producer. We look forward to integrating the business into the Stanmore group and continuing our focus on safety and delivering high quality products and outcomes for our customers, staff and stakeholders. I would like to take the opportunity to acknowledge the dedication and efforts of our team over the past year. I thank our employees and contractors for their contribution to the performance of the business, and my fellow directors for their guidance. I would also like to thank our traditional owners, neighbours, customers and shareholders for their continuing support of Stanmore Resources.

The items adjusted are determined to be non-cash transactions that are unrelated to mining operations. The presentation of non-IFRS financial information provides stakeholders the ability to compare against prior periods in a consistent manner.

The increase in EBITDA was due to an increase in underlying margin of $30/t in the period to 31 December 2021 compared to $(8)/t in the previous period. The significant increase in margin was a result of a $62/t increase in average sales price per tonne, combined with a decrease in reportable strip ratio to 9.0x as the company commenced mining in the bulk sample pit area as part of development activities in Isaac Downs which has a lower strip ratio compared to the Isaac Plains mining areas. The EBITDA is also impacted by the expenses related to the remaining overburden in advance (OBIA) inventories for the Isaac Plains (for which mining will cease in the first quarter of 2022), resulting in non-cash inventory adjustments of $49.253m. 11 Stanmore Annual Report 2021 OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW (CONTINUED) (B) UNDERLYING EBITDA RESULT (UNAUDITED, NON-IFRS MEASURE) (CONTINUED) The average Hard Coking Coal index price was US$208.09/t for the year compared to US$110.28/t in prior period. See page 14 for additional pricing information (source: Platts Coal Trader International). The primary drivers contributing to the Net Profit after Tax (“NPAT”) result include: • Gross revenue from coal sales increased to $382.9m for the year ended 31 December 2021 from $136.3m in the 6-month period to 31 December 2020. The increase was driven by a $62/t increase in the A$ realised price to an average of A$177/t from $115/t in the prior period, and an increase in sales of produced coal to 2,165kt in the period to 31 December 2021 from 1,184kt in the 6-month period to 31 December 2020; • Increase in finance costs from $5.438m for the 6-month period to 31 December 2020 to $17.060m for the year ended 31 December 2021. This is primarily due to the increase in utilisation of the existing borrowing facilities to support the development of the Isaac Downs project, foreign exchanges losses recognised in the period, coupled with initial finance fees incurred in relation to the announced US$625m debt facility for the acquisition of BHP’s 80% interest in BMC; and • Underlying non-cash FOB costs includes $49.253m of costs in relation to the reduction of overburden in advance inventories for the Isaac Plains mining operation, with no corresponding OBIA being recognised for Isaac Downs which is still a development site. The variance between underlying EBITDA and cash flow from operations is primarily due to the settlement of contingent consideration royalties, completion of rehabilitation works and working capital movements, as outlined in the table below: Underlying EBITDA (non-IFRS measure) Net financing costs Settlement of onerous contracts Completion of rehabilitation works Settlement of vendor royalties – contingent consideration Net movement in working capital Cash flow from operations 6 months to 31 December 2020 $’000 (13,383) (3,003) (476) (3,851) (284) 5,297 (15,700) 2021 $’000 54,448 (21,982) (654) (1,650) – 97,253 127,415 In the period to 31 December 2021, working capital significantly improved, with a net inflow of $97.253m (31 December 2020: $5.297m), driven by a reduction in inventories ($55.436m) and an increase in trade payables due to longer credit period from contractors ($42.801m), offset by timing of sales receipts leading to an increase in current trade receivables of $31.144m at 31 December 2021. Financing inflows of $79.733m primarily relate to the changes in the borrowing facilities (see Note 14). In the year to 31 December 2021, $1.650m (31 December 2020: $3.851m) was invested in rehabilitation at Isaac Plains Complex. Stanmore Resources Limited integrates this core activity with operations to ensure timely and efficient close out of rehabilitation. Overall operational cash flows have increased due to significantly high receipts from coal sales, driven by the increased sales tonnes and higher average sales price per tonne. 12 Directors’ report (CONTINUED)Stanmore Annual Report 2021 OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW (CONTINUED) (C) CASH FLOW In the period to 31 December 2021, total net cash inflows of $57.818m were recorded. The net cash inflow from operating activities was $127.415m. Cash flows from investing activities were $(138.394m). Of this, $15.356m related to sustaining capital expenditure for plant and equipment, $28.950m relates to the Loan receivable with MetRes Pty Ltd, and $44.422m related to the continued investment in Isaac Downs. At the end of period, US$67.6m was drawn from the revolving facility with the parent company, Golden Energy and Resources Limited (GEAR). The net inflow from financing activities includes $80.181m drawn down on the group’s various facilities, primarily offset by the cash outflows for the BMC acquisition deposit (US$30m), the loan issued to MetRes JV ($28.950m), repayment of the short-term loan ($2.693m), repayment of insurance premium funding ($3.874m), and a further $2.262m paid in relation to the equipment loan to finance the CAT 6060 excavator. Net cash at beginning of year Cash flows from operating activities Cash flows from investing activities Cash flows from financing activities Net increase/(decrease) in cash held Net cash at end of period 6 months to 31 December 2020 $’000 32,244 (15,700) (13,699) 2,196 (27,203) 5,041 2021 $’000 5,041 127,415 (138,394) 68,797 57,818 62,859 (D) HEALTH, SAFETY, ENVIRONMENT AND COMMUNITY PERFORMANCE The Consolidated Entity continues to be committed to the current and future performance of the business for the health, safety and wellbeing of our people, the environment and the communities in which we operate. The Consolidated Entity undertook or managed 754,930 hours (31 December 2020: 400,819 hours) of coal mining, drilling, exploration, and mine development activities (directly and through its contractors) during the year, and reported two lost time injuries (31 December 2020: nil). The rolling 12-month Total Reportable Injury Frequency Rate is 7.9 per million hours (31 December 2020: 5.9 per million hours), with a rolling 12-month Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate of 2.34 (31 December 2020: nil). The Consolidated Entity is encouraged by the safety performance results for the year, which remain lower than the industry averages. The Consolidated Entity supported the communities in which our operations are located with a number of grants, sponsorships, important community initiatives and events undertaken during the year. 40 local community organisations received over $109,000 in funding during the year. In addition, significant ‘in-kind’ time was also dedicated to regional industry bodies and professional groups to enhance local industry and services in the region. (E) OPERATIONS The Isaac Plains Complex mined 25,003kbcm of prime overburden compared to 17,351kbcm in the prior 6-month period to 31 December 2020. The reduction was a result of the expected lower strip ratios at the Isaac Downs mining area, coupled with a focus on ROM coal extraction in the year at the Isaac Plains mine. Coal mining operations delivered 2,767kt of ROM coal to the CHPP at a prime strip ratio of 9x, compared to 1,491kt and a strip ratio of 12.0x in the prior 6-month period. Product coal production was 2,070kt, with the CHPP delivering a total yield of 75.1%. The production split of coking to thermal coal was 91.6% coking and 8.4% thermal. Yields and product split have improved due to mining improved quality coal areas, including the Isaac Downs sample pit area. 13 Stanmore Annual Report 2021 OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW (CONTINUED) (E) OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) As previously announced, the Isaac Downs mining leases have been granted by the Queensland Government. Mining of this area initially commenced earlier in the year as part of a Sample Pit area, with the Board having also formally approved the development of the Isaac Downs Project. The average sale price achieved for all coal (both metallurgical and thermal) during the period was A$176.7/t, compared to 31 December 2020 of A$115.1/t. The increase in price has been driven by the increases in coal demand after the depths of the Covid pandemic, particularly across Asian markets. The average Hard Coking Coal index price was US$208.09/t for the year compared to US$110.28 in the period ended 31 December 2020.

Isaac Downs is being operated as a satellite open cut mining operation utilising the existing Isaac Plains infrastructure with coal washing and train loading activities undertaken at the existing CHPP, ensuring a capital light approach to this project is maintained. During the period, the company invested in the establishment of infrastructure (according to conditions established under the Mineral Resources Act for (MDL137)) at Isaac Downs to undertake a bulk sample pit for testing of proposed product coal cargoes with key international customers. A new access road has been constructed including a new intersection at the Peak Downs Highway, as well as the required infrastructure for environmental controls. As announced on 27 July 2021, the main project has been granted approvals, environmental authority, and approval under the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act. 15 Stanmore Annual Report 2021 OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW (CONTINUED) (F) ISAAC DOWNS PROJECT (CONTINUED) Since this announcement, the Isaac Downs Project has undertaken key infrastructure works, including the Peak Downs Highway underpass, allowing reduced haulage time and costs between the mining area and the CHPP washplant. Mining operations within the bulk sample pit are currently taking place at the Isaac Downs area, with the dragline expected to commence operations at Isaac Downs at the end of the first quarter of 2022. This is the point at which full scale production will commence from Isaac Downs and the estimated point of completion of the development. (G) COVID-19 IMPACTS The Consolidated Entity continues to follow recommendations from Queensland Health and the Australian Government to provide a COVID-19 safe workplace. COVID-19 impacts have not been significant to the Consolidated Entity in the period. The company does not expect any negative impacts to the financial statements nor triggers for any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may adversely impact the Consolidated Entity as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Consistent with the mining industry there has been an increase in absenteeism in early 2022 due to COVID-19 cases. The company will continue to work with its contractors on protocols to minimise the spread and impacts to operations. (H) DEBT REFINANCE On 2 July 2021, the Consolidated Entity signed an amendment to increase the available facility under its existing finance facility with its parent entity, GEAR, from US$40m to US$70m. The increase in the facility was primarily to ensure the progression of the Isaac Downs project together with the Mavis and Millennium acquisition, as it substantially satisfies the company’s short to medium term debt requirements and allowed a seamless transition from Isaac Plains East to Isaac Downs now that the Mining Lease has been obtained. INVESTMENT IN METRES INCORPORATED JOINT VENTURE (I) On 13 July 2021, the Consolidated Entity announced the completion of the Millennium and Mavis Downs Mine acquisition from Peabody Energy Australia, via MetRes Pty Ltd, the 50/50 joint venture between Stanmore Resources Limited and M Resources. Auger mining commenced in August 2021, in line with operational schedules, with MetRes having reached the milestone of its first coal shipment within five months from acquisition. LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (A) OPERATIONS Financial Year 2022 is expected to be a truly transformational year for the company. As well as the transition of its mining operations from Isaac Plains to Isaac Downs, the Consolidated Entity announced on 8 November 2021 that it has executed a definitive agreement with BHP to acquire BHP’s 80% interest in the BMC (BHP Mitsui Coal Pty Ltd) joint venture. At the same time, Stanmore Resources Limited announced its intention to fund the acquisition with a combination of debt and equity, and has since announced on 7 January 2022 that it has successfully executed documentation with certain financiers in respect of a US$625m debt facility. Stanmore Resources Limited is well placed to take advantage of the high coal sales prices in the first quarter of 2022, due to the lagging effect on sales pricing of certain fixed pricing sales contracts. (B) EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT On 16 February 2022, the Consolidated Entity announced an decrease to the coal and reserves under the relevant Australasian Code for Reporting Exploration Results and Ore Reserves (JORC Code). The total Recoverable Coal Reserves across all tenements formally declared and published are now 160.0Mt, and the total Marketable Coal Reserves are 125.4Mt. The Consolidated Entity will continue to monitor and assess the opportunities to develop or monetise its existing portfolio of assets in the Bowen Basin and explore acquisition opportunities where it makes financial and commercial sense to do so. 16 Directors’ report (CONTINUED)Stanmore Annual Report 2021 LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) (C) MANAGING RISKS The Consolidated Entity is a producing coal group operating in a volatile pricing market. Factors specific to the Consolidated Entity, or those which impact the market more broadly, may individually or in combination impact the financial and operating performance of the Consolidated Entity. These events may be beyond the control of the Board or management of Stanmore Resources. The major risks associated with an investment in the Consolidated Entity are summarised below. The Consolidated Entity identifies and actively manages the material risks as part of its risk management governance framework and internal control systems. (i) Safety risks Safety remains of critical importance in the planning, organisation and execution of the group’s exploration and operational activities. The group is committed to providing and maintaining a working environment in which all associated with our business are not exposed to hazards that will jeopardise their health and safety. (ii) Operating risks The group has historically been a single-mine producer and, therefore, reliant on continued performance of operations at the Isaac Plains Complex. As a result, numerous operating risks were highlighted which may result in a reduction in performance that decreases the group’s ability to produce high quality coal to meet customer shipping needs. The risks include, but are not limited to, factors such as weather conditions, machinery failure, critical infrastructure failure or natural disasters. The group has also previously identified a limited remaining life at Isaac Plains and Isaac Plains East. The timely mining assent for Isaac Downs received in Q3 2021 has ensured the availability of mining areas to ensure continuity of coal flows to meet contracted obligations. The Consolidated Entity continues to mitigate risks by identifying potential additional mining opportunities at Isaac Plains, Isaac Plains East and Isaac Plains Underground. The group’s announcement on 8 November 2021 that is has executed an agreement with BHP to acquire BHP’s 80% interest in the BMC joint venture will also reduce the risk regarding the reliance on the performance of the Isaac Plains Complex. (iii) Market risks The key drivers for the business’ financial performance are commodity price and foreign currency markets. The group is not of a size to have influence on coal prices or the exchange rate for Australian Dollars and is therefore a price-taker in general terms. The group sells export coal in United States Dollars and is therefore exposed to movements in currency rates. The group may from time to time use mechanisms to hedge a portion of its currency risk where deemed appropriate by management and the Board. The market price for Stanmore Resource’s products is impacted by many factors which could be favourable or unfavourable for the group. In order to diversify its customer base and to minimise the reliance on key customers, the group is continuing to work on identifying new customers and markets in 2022 where it makes financial sense to do so. (iv) Geological risks Resource and Reserve estimates are prepared by external experts in accordance with the JORC Code 2012 and JORC Code 2004 (as applicable) for reporting. Coal reserves are estimated using various assumptions regarding loss and dilution, drilling depth and other geotechnical constraints. Reserves are sensitive to cost and revenue assumptions used due to geological structure of deposits, which means that all other factors being the same, if the cost assumption is lower or the price assumption is higher, more reserves are estimated. Some of the deposits are more sensitive to the cost and revenue assumptions used than others due to the characteristics and geological structure of those deposits. Due care is taken with each estimation, but is expected to change as more detailed planning is undertaken. 17 Stanmore Annual Report 2021 LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) (C) MANAGING RISKS (CONTINUED) (v) Regulatory and land access risks The group’s operations and projects are subject to State and Federal laws and regulations regarding mining, environmental protection, land access and native title. These laws and regulations regulate the conduct of mining operations, set requirements in relation to landholder compensation, environmental protection and certain aspects of health, and provide for penalties and other consequences for the breach of such laws. There is also an obligation to rehabilitate areas impacted by mining activities, which includes the group providing financial assurances in respect of the likely costs and expenses that may be incurred when taking action to rehabilitate areas impacted by mining activities. The Mineral and Energy Resources (Financial Provisioning) Act 2018 has changed the method by which such financial assurance is calculated but the cost of this change to the group has not been material. The rehabilitation provision recorded in these accounts closely mirrors these obligations. In order to undertake exploration and production activities, it is first necessary to apply for and obtain necessary government permits, leases and approvals that authorise such activities. To secure such exploration and mining approvals, or to undertake activities within the area of a granted mining tenement, native title, land access and overlapping tenure are matters that need to be addressed. The group seeks to develop strong, long-term effective relationships with landholders and other stakeholders, with a focus on developing mutually acceptable compensation and access arrangements. The group seeks to minimise these risks by conducting its activities in an environmentally responsible manner, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. In addition, the group engages experienced lawyers, consultants and other technical advisors to provide expert advice where necessary to ensure it manages its compliance obligations appropriately. (vi) Climate change risks The operations of the Consolidated Entity are focused on the production of coal for use in the steel making industry. Considering the nature of the industry in which the Consolidated Entity operates, both physical and transitional climate changes risks have the potential to impact the company’s assets, production and the markets where our product is sold. Transitional risks being those climate change risks associated with the transition to the lower-carbon economy and include policy, legal technology and market related risks, and physical risks being those which have direct financial implications to the Consolidated Entity. Physical risks refer to risks that are event-driven (such as weather events like cyclones, fires and floods) or are ‘chronic’ risks which are those that are caused by longer-term shifts in climate patterns (including sustained movement in temperature). There is an increasing interest by stakeholders regarding the potential risks and opportunities to our business and the broader sector as a result of shifts towards a lower-carbon economy. Climate change is a complex risk that requires action at all levels of society. It can heighten existing physical and non-physical risks and introduce new ones that can affect business performance in the near and long terms. We continue to work with the industry on this important topic and develop our response to the Taskforce on Climate Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework to improve our disclosure and tracking of climate-related risks and opportunities. The Consolidated Entity also has a role to play in mitigating emissions generated by its operations. Business and operational risks associated with changes caused by climate change and the measures that will be taken to mitigate those risks and overall emissions are considered during the group’s business planning cycle. 18 Directors’ report (CONTINUED)Stanmore Annual Report 2021 LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) (C) MANAGING RISKS (CONTINUED) (vii) Indigenous engagement As part of the Isaac Downs approval process, it was recognised that increased collaboration was required with the traditional owners of the land on which the company operates, the Barada Barna people. Through a process of facilitation and recognition of the need for reconciliation, the company is dedicated to developing a working and collaborative relationship with the Barada Barna people. The company has committed to developing a Reconciliation Action Plan working committee. This process will not only strengthen ties with the Barada Barna people, but pave the way for true reconciliation within the broader meaning. The company and the Barada Barna people have developed a Native Title Consent Agreement and reviewed a Cultural Heritage Management Plan. Further, the company aims to facilitate and implement a Reconciliation Action Plan process that develops long-term strategies including increasing Indigenous employment and business opportunities which will enable the Barada Barna people to become more involved in the company and encourage a strong working relationship between both parties. (viii) Sovereign risks The group has limited influence over the direction and development of government policy. Successive changes to the Australian resources policy, including taxation policy, have impacted Australia’s competitiveness and reduced the attractiveness of Australian coal projects to foreign investors. The group’s view is coking coal is critical for future steel production and thermal coal will continue to play a key role in the global energy mix as part of sustaining global growth, particularly in developing regions, through efficient electricity generation. (ix) Access to capital At 31 December 2021 the group remains well funded with cash reserves and a revolving finance facility expected to be sufficient to meet the business’ operating costs. The group’s ability to effectively continue as a coal producing business may be dependent upon several factors including the success of the mine operations, or the successful exploration and subsequent development of the group’s tenements. Should these avenues be delayed or fail to materialise, the group may need to raise additional funding through debt, equity or farm out/sell down to allow the group to continue as a going concern and meet its debts as and when they fall due. There is no guarantee that additional funding through debt will be available, or if it is, there is no guarantee that such new funding will be on terms acceptable to the group. Global credit markets have been severely constrained in the past, and the ability to obtain new funding or refinance may in the future be significantly reduced. Increasingly, financial institutions have made public statements in relation to their unwillingness to finance certain types of coal mines and coal- fired power stations. If the group is unable to obtain sufficient funding, either due to banking and capital market conditions generally, or due to factors specific to the coal sector, the group may not have sufficient cash to meet its ongoing capital requirements or the ability to expand its business. Following the on-market takeover by Golden Investments in 2020, the group has been able to access funding through our parent entity, GEAR. See details of the debt refinance on page 16 of this report. As at the date of this report, GEAR has a credit rating of B1 by rating agency Moody’s and B+ by rating agency Fitch. This has reduced the risk the group may not have access to capital. Any present risk is still being actively monitored by Stanmore Resources Limited. In respect of the BMC transaction, Stanmore Resources Limited has also signed definitive agreements with certain financiers for a US$625 million senior debt facility, demonstrating the group’s ability to access funds when required. Stanmore Resources Limited continues to explore a number of avenues in relation to working capital initiatives. (x) Access to insurance cover There is a risk that the policies of financial institutions with respect to the funding of coal projects may, in the future, extend to an unwillingness to provide insurance products to coal producers and associated companies on terms that are currently provided to such companies. This could result in a material increase in the cost to Stanmore Resources of obtaining appropriate levels of insurance or Stanmore Resources being unable to secure adequate insurance cover. 19 Stanmore Annual Report 2021 Remuneration report (audited) This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each Director of Stanmore Resources Limited and its controlled entities, and for the company’s Key Management Personnel (“KMP”). KMP are defined as those persons who have the authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Consolidated Entity. The Consolidated Entity’s Directors and KMP during 2021 were: Non-executive and executive Directors (see pages 6 to 9 for details about each Director) Mr Dwi Suseno Mr Marcelo Matos Mr Jimmy Lim Mr Mark Trevan Mr Richard Majlinder Ms Mary Carroll (until 2 July 2021) Other key management personnel Name Position Mr Frederick Kotzee Chief Financial Officer (until 12 August 2021) Mr Jon Romcke Mr Leandro Pires Mr Shane Young General Manager Development General Manager Operations Chief Financial Officer (from 12 August 2021) (A) REMUNERATION POLICY OVERVIEW The Consolidated Entity’s business strategy of managing an operating coal business can only be achieved by identifying and retaining high calibre employees with appropriate experience and capability. Developing an appropriate compensations strategy for the Consolidated Entity’s employees is a key factor in ensuring employees are engaged and motivated to improve the group’s performance over the long term. The Board’s intention is to maximise stakeholder benefit by the retention of high-quality Board and executive team without creating an undue cost burden for the company. The Board regularly reviews the appropriateness of employees’ fixed compensation considering the group’s cost structure and the practices of its peers. The Board formally reviews Board and senior executive performance on an annual basis. The following describes the Consolidated Entity’s remuneration arrangements for KMP. (B) ELEMENTS OF REMUNERATION (i) Fixed annual remuneration (FR) Chief Executive Officer and Senior Management fixed remuneration The Consolidated Entity aims to reward the CEO and senior management with a base level of remuneration which is both appropriate to the position and competitive in the market. Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Remuneration and Nominations Committee and the Board. The CEO reviews all senior management performance and remuneration and then makes recommendations to the Remuneration and Nominations Committee. The Remuneration and Nominations Committee reviews the performance and remuneration of the management team. The process consists of a review of company and individual performance, relevant comparative remuneration both in the market and internally, and, where appropriate, external advice on policies and remuneration practices. 20 Directors’ report (CONTINUED)Stanmore Annual Report 2021 (B) ELEMENTS OF REMUNERATION (CONTINUED) (i) Fixed annual remuneration (FR) (continued) Non-Executive Director fixed remuneration The Board seeks to aggregate remuneration at a level which provides the Consolidated Entity with the ability to attract and retain Directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders. The Constitution of Stanmore Resources Limited and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the Non-Executive Directors are entitled to remuneration as determined by the company in a general meeting to be apportioned among them in such manner as the Directors agree, and, in default of agreement, equally. The maximum aggregate remuneration currently determined by Stanmore Resources Limited’s shareholders is $750,000 per annum (31 December 2020: $750,000 p.a.). The Non-Executive Director’s fee was $50,000 per annum (31 December 2020: $50,000 p.a.). Committee fees were $10,000 per annum for the Chair and $5,000 per annum for members. The Board, at the recommendation of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee after undertaking a benchmarking remuneration review, determined to increase the Non-Executive Director’s Fees to $113,000 per annum, fees for the Chair of a committee to $22,600 per annum and $11,300 per annum for members of a committee. In addition, the Board also determined to pay to the Non-Executive Directors a once off fee in recognition of the significant additional work performed with respect to the acquisition of the BMC assets. The maximum aggregate fees paid is within the Shareholder’s annual agreed limit. The total Non-Executive Director remuneration for the year was $541,033 (31 December 2020: $126,731). A Non-Executive Director is entitled to be paid travel and other expenses properly incurred by them in attending Directors’ or general meetings of Stanmore Resources Limited or otherwise relating to the business of the group. The fixed remuneration of Non-Executive Directors for the year ending 31 December 2021 is detailed in this Remuneration Report. (ii) Short-term and long-term incentive plan structures The Board considers that the use of Short-Term Incentives (STI) and Long-Term Incentives (LTI) are a reasonable means of remunerating Senior Management, on the basis that they: • encourage Senior Management to drive toward the realisation of shareholder value; • provide flexibility to the company to actively manage the way in which it remunerates and incentivises Senior Management; • preserve the company’s cash resources; and • contribute to the attraction and retention of skilled talent in a competitive market. For the year ended 31 December 2021, performance targets for STI and LTI were formalised and agreed by the Board. For the 6-month financial period to 31 December 2020, no formal STI and LTI performance targets were set, due to the shortened performance period. (iii) Incentive outcomes As noted previously, the STI for the period ended 31 December 2020 was based on the Board’s discretion, after considering management’s performance, and no LTI scheme was in place for the period. 21 Stanmore Annual Report 2021 (B) ELEMENTS OF REMUNERATION (CONTINUED) The incentive outcomes for the STI and LTI scheme for the year ended 31 December 2021 are shown below. (iv) Short-term incentives Incentive Award structure Outcome/discussion FY21 STI FY21 STI Preconditions: zero fatalities/company can fund STI Preconditions (achieved): zero fatalities/ company can fund STI Based on multiple key performance indicators: TRIFR*/HPIFR**/ROM T/FOB cash costs/Working Capital The key performance indicators were met to varying levels, resulting in a total accrued payout of 122% of target. All KMP met eligibility requirements. FY21 STI amounts are highlighted below. TRIFR refers to ‘Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate’ * ** HPIFR refers to ‘High Potential Injury Frequency Rate’ In FY21, all KMP were entitled to a payment under the STI scheme. The FY21 STI is due to be paid in late February 2022. The STI for the year ended 31 December 2021 is ultimately subject to Board discretion, based on management performance, and calculated in line with the STI and LTI targets for the financial year, and is shown below: Target STI FY21 Target STI December 2020 Base of Salary % Target Amount $ Awarded $ Base of Salary % Base of Salary % Target Amount $ Awarded $ Base of Salary % Jon Romcke Marcelo Matos Leandro Pires Shane Young 40% 50% 40% 40% 141,312 172,337 271,360 330,938 135,168 164,844 152,000 185,372 49% 61% 49% 49% 39% 52% 39% – 67,275 91,887 23,803 – 51,750 70,667 17,852 – 30% 40% 30% – (v) Long-term incentives Incentive Award structure Outcome/discussion FY21 LTI LTI is based on the Relative Total Shareholders Return (TSR) and Working Average Cost of Capital (WACC) performance measures, relative to a fixed measurement point. Due to the expected impact of the Group’s proposed acquisition of BHP’s 80% interest in the BMC joint venture, the current LTIP award structure was not applied for the current period. The Board have approved a discretionary cash LTIP award for eligible members for the period up to the expected acquisition date during Q2 2022. As at 31 December 2021, 144,898 (FY19 and FY20) rights remain in relation to previously disclosed LTIP scheme. 22 Directors’ report (CONTINUED)Stanmore Annual Report 2021 (B) ELEMENTS OF REMUNERATION (CONTINUED) KMP* FY No. of Rights Vesting date** Jon Romcke FY20 36,342 30-Jun-22 Jon Romcke FY19 108,556 30-Jun-21 Target 30% 30% Salary package value at Stretch*** ($) 207,000 191,7111 Price**** ($) 1.42 0.88 Value of Rights***** ($) 0.37 0.45 144,898 KMP employed as at 31 December 2021 Retest available after 12 months if no Rights have vested on vesting date * ** *** Stretch target based on 2x Target % **** Based on the 10-day VWAP of shares in the 24 hours following the release of the annual results ***** Accounting value of rights issued Below is a summary of the performance conditions for vesting for FY20 Rights granted: Total Value ($) 13,447 48,850 62,297 Performance Level Stretch Between Target and Stretch Target Between Threshold and Target Threshold Below Threshold**** Absolute Total Shareholder Return Stanmore Resources Limited * ** *** Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) **** Subject to retest in FY23 at CAGR ATSR* of SMR** CAGR*** % of Stretch/ Max.

Such advice will typically cover Non-Executive Director fees, Executive KMP and advice in relation to equity plans. The Corporations Act 2001 requires companies to disclose specific details regarding the use of remuneration consultants. The mandatory disclosure requirements only apply to those advisers that provide a ‘remuneration recommendation’ as defined in the act. No advice was sought during the period under review.

BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FULL YEAR REPORT The financial statements of Stanmore Resources Limited for the reporting period ended 31 December 2021 covers the Consolidated Entity consisting of Stanmore Resources Limited and its subsidiaries as required by the Corporations Act 2001. The group had changed its financial year to 31 December to align with its parent entity. As a result, the results presented in this financial report, which is for a period of 12 months ended 31 December 2021, are not entirely comparable with the comparative period stated, being the 6-month period 1 July 2020 to 31 December 2020. The financial statements are presented in the Australian currency. Stanmore Resources Limited is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia, whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. The principal activities of the Consolidated Entity are the exploration, development, production and sale of metallurgical coal in Queensland, Australia. The consolidated general-purpose financial report of the Consolidated Entity for the period ended 31 December 2021 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 16/02/2022. The Directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial report. The financial report is a general-purpose financial report which: • has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, the Australian Accounting Standards, and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB); • is presented in Australian dollars with all values rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($’000) unless otherwise stated, in accordance with ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Report) Instrument 2016/191; • adopts all new and amended Accounting Standards and interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the operations of the Consolidated Entity and effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021. Refer to Note 1(i) or further details; and • does not early adopt any Australian Accounting Standards and interpretations that have been issued or amended but are not yet effective, except for those described in Note 1(i)(i) The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for Vendor Royalties – Contingent Consideration and Derivative Financial Instruments which have been measured at fair value. The Consolidated Entity is a for-profit entity for the purposes of Australian Accounting Standards. (A) KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES In the process of applying the Consolidated Entity’s accounting policies, managements has made a number of judgements and applied estimates of future events. Judgements and estimates which are material to the financial report are found in the following notes: Note 2: Revenue Note 10: Capitalised development costs Note 10: Mine properties Note 10: Exploration and evaluation Note 17: Onerous contracts provision Note 17: Rehabilitation provision Note 17: Vendor royalties – contingent consideration Note 32: Share-based payments 38 Page 40 Page 54 Page 56 Page 56 Page 61 Page 61 Page 62 Page 82 Stanmore Annual Report 2021 1. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FULL YEAR REPORT (CONTINUED) (B) GOING CONCERN As disclosed in the Directors’ report, the group is in the process of transitioning its core mining operations from Isaac Plains and Isaac Plains East during Q1 2022 to Isaac Downs where full scale production is scheduled to commence once the Drag Line has been walked across and initial development activities are completed. In addition to this, the group has also announced the acquisition of 80% of the shares in BMC from BHP which will be funded through a combination of debt and equity. In respect of the BMC transaction, at the date of this report, the group has signed definitive agreements with certain financiers for a US$625 million senior debt facility. As announced by Stanmore Resources Limited on 8 November 2021, the Group is proposing to part fund the balance of the completion payment for the BMC transaction through an entitlement offer. Further details of the proposed entitlement offer are expected to be announced after key conditions precedent for the transaction have been substantially progressed. In respect of the existing operations and transition from Isaac Plains and Isaac Plains East, the Directors have considered projected cash flow information for the 12 months from the date of the approval of these financial statements under multiple scenarios (which includes the ability to slow or defer spending), including conservative pricing forecasts and the group’s access to undrawn working capital facilities as disclosed in Note 14. On 16 February 2022, the group has also extended the GEAR facility maturity date by another year to 30 June 2023. Based on the above, the group is expected to continue to operate within the available cash levels and is confident in its ability to complete the required capital and debt to be raised to continue to fund the ongoing operations and complete the BMC transaction. The company is also in the process of assessing raising further debt to assist with future capital development and has capacity under the ASX Listing Rules to raise further funds through the issue or placement of securities. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. (C) DEBT FACILITY On 2 July 2021, the Consolidated Entity signed an amendment to increase the available facility under its existing finance facility with its parent entity, GEAR, from US$ 40m to US$70m. The increase in the facility was primarily to ensure the progression of the Isaac Downs project together with the Mavis and Millennium acquisition, as it substantially satisfies the company’s short to medium term debt requirements and allows a seamless transition from Isaac Plains East to Isaac Downs now that the Mining Lease has been obtained. As at 31 December 2021, US$67.6m (A$93.2m) has been drawn down under this facility. (D) COVID-19 These impacts are not significant to the Consolidated Entity and will not negatively impact the financial statements or trigger any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may adversely impact the Consolidated Entity as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. There is no impact on the going concern of the Consolidated Entity as a result of the above. (E) BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the company has control. The Consolidated Entity controls an entity when the Consolidated Entity is exposed, or has the rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Consolidated Entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. 39 Stanmore Annual Report 2021 1. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FULL YEAR REPORT (CONTINUED) (E) BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION (CONTINUED) All intercompany balances and transactions, including unrealised profits arising from intragroup transactions have been eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent, using consistent accounting policies. (F) OTHER ACCOUNTING POLICIES Significant and other accounting policies that summarise the measurement basis used and are relevant to an understanding of the financial statements are provided throughout the notes to the financial statements. (G) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency by applying the exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction. (H) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The notes include information which is required to understand the financial statements and is material and relevant to the operations, financial position and performance of the Consolidated Entity. Information is considered relevant and material if for example: • the amount in question is significant because of its size or nature; • • it is important for understanding the results of the Consolidated Entity; it helps to explain the impact of significant changes in the Consolidated Entity’s business, for example, acquisitions and impairment write-downs; or • it is related to an aspect of the Consolidated Entity’s operations that is important to its future performance. (I) NEW AND AMENDED STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS ADOPTED BY THE CONSOLIDATED ENTITY The group has applied all the standards and amendments for the first time for their annual reporting period commencing 1 January 2021. These amendments had no impact on the financial statements of the Group. (i) Early adoption of AASB 2020-3 Annual Improvements 2018-2020 and Other Amendments The group has chosen to early adopt AASB 2020-3: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Annual Improvements 2018-2020 and Other Amendments, in relation to changes made to AASB 116. As a result, discreet revenues and operating costs of the Isaac Downs Bulk Sample Pit are to be recognised within the consolidated statement of profit or loss. There is no previously measured pre-production revenues that required restatement in the prior period. 2.

REVENUE (CONTINUED) (A) DISAGGREGATION OF REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS The group recognises revenue from the transfer of goods at a point in time in the following major product lines and geographical regions: Revenue from external customers Metallurgical coal/Asia Metallurgical coal/Europe Thermal coal/Asia Total segment revenue 2021 $’000 31 December 2020 $’000 296,293 58,388 28,267 382,948 121,930 10,725 3,654 136,309 (B) RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT Revenue is recognised when the control of the goods is passed to the customer. The amount of revenue recognised is the consideration the Consolidated Entity is entitled to receive in exchange for transferred goods to the customer. (i) Contracts with customers – coal sales General recognition Revenue from the sale of coal is recognised in the profit or loss when performance obligations have been met, which is deemed to be when control of the coal has been transferred from the Consolidated Entity to the customer. Typically, the transfer of control and the recognition of a sale occurs when the coal passes the ship rail when loading at the port, unless the sale is made on stockpile at which point the transfer of control will occur when the sales agreement is exercised. All coal is shipped through the Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal and all coal sold during the year ended 31 December 2021 was on a contracted ‘free on board’ basis. As is customary with ‘free on board’ contracts, parameters such as coal quality and mass are tested using independent experts and weightometers as the vessel is being loaded. The bill of lading is only issued upon verification and confirmation from several parties involved with the logistic and handling process. Once confirmed, the measured parameters form the basis for calculation of final price on the commercial invoice. All customer contracts specify a known price and tolerance range for quality parameters prior to the Consolidated Entity committing to the supply of coal to the customer. Coking Coal Quarterly Index Linked Price Contracts recognition Coking Coal Sales contracts with Stanmore Resources customers generally contain quarterly pricing provisions as is customary in the coking coal markets. Sales contracts with regular customers are linked to the relevant coking coal index with index adjustments based on the term agreements/relationship, Isaac Plains specific variations to the index benchmark, or other contractual reasons. When the quarterly benchmark prices have not been settled, sales invoices are issued and paid based on the provisional prices from the prior quarters’ agreed index price. These provisional prices are then adjusted when the final quarterly benchmark prices are settled. Where sales volumes have not been fulfilled within the scope of the contract for the previous quarters, the coal sales are at the prior quarters’ price. At the end of the annual contract period, full year carry over tonnes are discussed between the parties and the supply of tonnes can be cancelled or carried over to the next annual contract. Due to the volatility in the coking coal price indices, management reviews the index price at the of the quarter. Coal sales are then adjusted, based on the final index price, which has been agreed with customers. If the price has not yet been signed off on all contracts, management will make judgements on the risks associated with the customer and adjust the provisional price based on the contract. The risk weighted price would then be used rather than the quarterly index price which has not yet been agreed with the customer. 41 Stanmore Annual Report 2021 2. REVENUE (CONTINUED) (B) RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT (CONTINUED) (i) Contracts with customers – coal sales (continued) Thermal coal contracts sales Thermal coal sales are not customarily index linked and are settled based on contract prices as agreed and adjusted by the contract terms. Generally, price and adjustments are finalised and final invoiced within a short period of time after the coal is ‘free on board’. Key judgements Where prices are not finalised at the end of a period due to the timing of contractual adjustments, management will make assessments on the adjustments and provide for the expected impact of the contract adjustments. Price adjustments are minimal in comparison to the total invoice and are generally not material in nature. 3.

Costs have been recognised on an accrual basis at the time the sale is recognised, in line with movements through inventory and survey information from site. Refer to Note 18 on page 63. (ii) Wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave expected to be wholly settled within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are recognised in respect of employees’ services rendered up to the end of the reporting period. They are measured at amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Expenses for sick leave are recognised when leave is taken and measured at the actual rates paid or payable. Where the group has liabilities that are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the reporting period, such as long service leave, these obligations are measured at the present value of the expected future payments to be made in respect of the services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the end of the reporting period of high-quality corporate bonds with terms and currencies that match, as close as possible, the estimated future cash flows. (iii) Leases The leases recognised in Other Expenses relate to short-term lease obligations where the entity has adopted the recognition exemption. Lease payments for short-term leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, net of any incentives. 44 Stanmore Annual Report 2021Notes to the financial statements (CONTINUED) 4.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE (CONTINUED) (D) RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT The income tax expense for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the national income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for all temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered, or liabilities settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively enacted for each jurisdiction. Exceptions are made for certain temporary differences arising on initial recognition of an asset or a liability if they arose in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit. Deferred tax assets are only recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures where the parent entity 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. Current and deferred tax balances relating to amounts recognised directly in other comprehensive income and equity are also recognised directly in other comprehensive income and equity, respectively.

The stand-alone taxpayer/ separate taxpayer within a group approach has been used to allocate current income tax expense and deferred tax expense to wholly owned subsidiaries that form part of the tax consolidated group. Stanmore Resources Limited has assumed all the current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses for the tax consolidated group via intercompany receivables and payables as a tax funding arrangement. 5.

The loan is fully secured against the underlying property, plant & equipments, and mine properties of the Joint Venture. A total of $28.95m was drawn as at 31 December 2021, less an offsetting cash prepayment of $3.714m. (A) RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT Trade and other receivables are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at Amortised Cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in profit or loss and presented in other gains/(losses), together with foreign exchange gains and losses. Impairment losses are presented as separate line item in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Comprehensive Income. Impairment (i) The Consolidated Entity assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit loss associated with its debt instruments carried at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivables, the group applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB 9 which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. Loans to related parties are assessed using the general approach required by AASB 9 for the assessment of expected credit losses. Management has determined that assessment of expected credit loss associated with trade receivables is immaterial. 50 Stanmore Annual Report 2021Notes to the financial statements (CONTINUED) 8. INVENTORIES Current assets ROM coal inventories Product coal stocks Overburden in advance 2021 $’000 31 December 2020 $’000 3,423 8,325 – 11,748 3,546 14,385 49,253 67,184 (A) RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimate selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimate costs of completion and selling expenses. The cost of coal inventories is determined using a direct costing basis. Costs include blasting, overburden removal, coal mining, processing, labour, transport and other costs which are directly related to mining activities at site. Inventories are classified as follows: • overburden in advance material extracted through the pre-strip mining process and includes blasting activities; • run of mine material (ROM) extracted through the mining process and awaiting process at the coal handling and preparation plant; and • product coal which has been processed into final saleable form. Product coal may be held at the site or at port shared stockpile facilities awaiting delivery to customers. (B) INTERPRETATION 20 – STRIPPING COSTS IN THE PRODUCTION PHASE OF A SURFACE MINE In open pit mining operations, overburden and other waste materials must be removed to allow extractions of the coal minerals underneath. Previously, the costs of overburden removal are capitalised separately as Inventory under AASB 102, to the extent that a future benefit from the stripping activity is expected to be realised from future coal extraction. In the current year, Isaac Downs was in development within mining from the bulk sample pit and ongoing development which is scheduled to be completed in the coming months. 51 Stanmore Annual Report 2021 9.

The cost of fixed assets constructed within the Consolidated Entity includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing costs and an appropriate portion of fixed and variable costs. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Consolidated Entity and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. 52 Stanmore Annual Report 2021Notes to the financial statements (CONTINUED) 9.

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a units of production basis over the life of the economically recoverable resources. The base for the units of production is drawn from the assets principal use. Items that are specific to open cut operations are depreciated over the run of mine open cut coal reserves. Surface infrastructure that is not specific to a mining method such as the was plant and loadout facilities utilise the Economically Recoverable Resources of Isaac Plains Complex, which includes an estimate of recoverable underground coal reserves. The depreciation rates used for each class of assets are: • Plant and equipment 5-25% straight line/units of production • Furniture and office equipment 5-25% straight line • Buildings and improvements 5-10% straight line • Right-of-use asset 18% straight line The group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset (or Cash Generating Unit – CGU) may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the group estimates the asset’s or CGU’s recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or CGU’s Fair Value Less Cost of Disposal and its Value in Use. The recoverable amount 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, in which case, the asset is tested as part of a larger CGU to which it belongs. If the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset/CGU is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. 53 Stanmore Annual Report 2021 9. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (CONTINUED) (A) RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT (CONTINUED) (ii) Revaluation, depreciation methods and useful lives (continued) The group bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecasts which are prepared separately for each of the group’s CGUs to which the individual assets are allocated, based on the life-of-mine plans. The estimated cash flows are based on expected future production, metal selling prices, operating costs and forecast capital expenditure. As part of the Group’s impairment assessment, the Group considers the expected future demand for its product, impact of known climate policies and potential policy responses to climate change. Based on the Group’s research, demand for its product will continue over the life of the CGU. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss in the period which they arise. (iii) Right-of-use asset At the inception of a contract, the Consolidated Entity assesses whether a contract contains a lease based on whether the contract conveys the right to use or control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. At the commencement date of the lease, the Consolidated Entity recognises a lease liability and a corresponding right-of- use asset. The lease liability is initially recognised at 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, and are discounted using the interest rate determined using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost which includes any direct costs, and subsequently measured at costs less any depreciation and impairment. The right-of-use asset is depreciated to the earlier of the useful life of the asset or the lease term using the straight-line method and is recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss in depreciation and amortisation. The unwind of the financial charge on the lease liability is recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss in financial expenses based on the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate. 10.

Following recognition, the asset is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Once the development phase is complete and production begins, the costs are transferred from Capitalised Development Costs to Mine Properties where they are amortised over the life of the development project. (i) Key judgements Initial capitalisation of costs is based on management’s judgement that technical and economic feasibility is confirmed. In determining the amounts to be capitalised, management makes assumptions regarding the expected future cash generating potential of the project, discount rates to be applied and the expected period of which cash flows are expected to be received. In respect of the development costs incurred at Isaac Downs, full scale production is set to commence upon completion of the development in the first quarter of 2022, and once the dragline has been walked across costs would be reclassified to Mine properties and amortisation will commence. As at 31 December 2021, the carrying amount of Capitalised Development costs was $88.758m (31 December 2020: $44.336m). 55 Stanmore Annual Report 2021 10. CAPITALISED DEVELOPMENT, EXPLORATION AND MINE PROPERTIES (CONTINUED) (B) RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT – EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is capitalised on an area of interest basis. Such expenditures comprise net direct costs and an appropriate portion of related overhead expenditure. These costs are carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage which permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable resources and active or significant operations in relation to the area are continuing. A regular review is undertaken on each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest. Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off against profit in the period in which the decision to abandon the area is made. Where an uncertainty exists for further exploration of the area, a provision is raised for the costs of exploration. When the technical feasibility and commercial viability is demonstrated, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are transferred to capitalised development costs. (i) Key judgements The Consolidated Entity performs impairment testing on specific exploration assets as required in AASB 6 para. 20. The accumulated impairment on these exploration and evaluation assets remained unchanged at $12.105m. (C) RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT – MINE PROPERTIES Mining property assets include costs transferred from Capitalised Development following start of production, and the rehabilitation asset capitalised to offset rehabilitation provisions when disturbance occurs. Following transfer from Capitalised Development, all subsequent development costs are capitalised to the extent that commercial viability conditions continue to be satisfied. The costs associated with mine properties are amortised based on a units of production method. (i) Key judgements Due to the expectation that saleable coal will be produced as a result of the initial mine development, management judgement is required in relation to when a mine is considered to have started production, and therefore transferred to Mine Properties and depreciated. As a result of this exercise, no costs have been transferred during the financial year. The Consolidated Entity assesses at the end of each period whether there are any impairment indicators in relation to Mine Property assets. As a result of this assessment, no impairment indicators were noted for this financial year. 11.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS (CONTINUED) Period ended 31 December 2020 Opening net book amount Amortisation charge Closing net book amount Infrastructure $’000 2,771 (252) 2,519 (A) IMPAIRMENT OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS At the end of each reporting period, the Consolidated Entity assesses whether there is any indication that individual assets are impaired. Where impairment indicators exist, recoverable amount is determined, and impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss where the asset’s carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purpose of 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. Where it is not possible to estimate recoverable amount for an individual asset, the Consolidated Entity estimates the recoverable amount of the CGU to which the asset belongs. (B) INTANGIBLE ASSETS The intangible asset relates to future rebates on the cost of coal railings based on an agreement with the below rail infrastructure owner. Receipts of coal railing rebates are recognised in profit or loss as a credit against the cost incurred. The estimated useful life of the asset is aligned with the term of the contractual agreement and is amortised on a straight-line basis in accordance with the anticipated profile of benefits received. 12.

Non-current assets relate to cash security bond payments made to key operational suppliers, and term deposits with the Consolidated Entity’s banking provider which are secured against the Consolidated Entity’s bank guarantee facilities. The increase in the period is due to the Consolidated Entity making a deposit payment of US$30m (A$41.345m) in relation to the recently announced acquisition of 80% of the BMC joint venture from BHP, as well as $12.845m of financing fees prepaid in relation to the US$625m BMC financing loan. 57 Stanmore Annual Report 2021 13.

They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The Consolidated Entity has an arrangement for a $5m bank guarantee facility with its existing financial services provider (Facility A). The Consolidated Entity has also a finance facility with GEAR in respect to a US$70m secured loan facility (Facility B). The key terms of the US$70m facility are: • US$70m facility until 30 June 2022; • upfront commitment fee of 2.0%; • • interest rate on drawn funds of 8.0% per annum; and interest rate on undrawn funds of 2.0% per annum. As at 31 December 2021, US$67.6m (A$93.164m) has been drawn down under this facility (31 December 2020: US$10m, A$12.983m). In 2019, the Consolidated Entity entered into an equipment loan facility (Facility C) with Caterpillar Financial Australia Limited to acquire a 600-tonne excavator from Hastings Deering (Australia) Limited. The term of the loan facility is five years and the Consolidated Entity pays 4.55% p.a. fixed interest on the Chattel Mortgage facility to Caterpillar Financial Australia Limited, who subsequently holds security over the excavator. The Chattel Mortgage facility is denominated in A$. During the prior period, the Consolidated Entity entered into a short-term loan agreement for $2.693m (Facility D) with a related party. The loan was undertaken under market conditions and was repaid in full on 4 January 2021. The Consolidated Entity enters into short-term agreements to access financing for the annual insurance premiums. The facility is fully repaid in during the relevant insurance periods (Facility E). 59 Stanmore Annual Report 2021 15.

Where a contract provides capacity above that required to meet the business plan or for a longer period than the current extent of the business plan, the contract is deemed onerous and the onerous portion of the contract is recognised as a liability using an estimate of future onerous cash flows discounted to a net present value. Any re-measurement of the assessed level of onerous contracts is taken through profit or loss in the period in which the assessment is made. During the year ended 31 December 2021 a total of $654,000 of onerous contracts were settled through payment, with the unwinding of the discount being $240,000 and $1.191m through consolidated statement of profit or loss for re-measurement. (C) REHABILITATION PROVISION (i) Recognition and measurement The provision for rehabilitation closure costs relates to areas disturbed during the operation of the mine up to reporting date and not yet rehabilitated. Provision has been made to rehabilitate all areas of disturbance including surface infrastructure, contouring, topsoiling and revegetation, using internal and external expert assessment of each aspect to calculate am anticipated cash outflow discounted to a net present value. At each reporting date, the rehabilitation liability is re-measured in line with the then-current level of disturbance, cost estimates and other key inputs. The amount of provision relating to rehabilitation of areas caused by mining disturbance is capitalised against Mine Properties as incurred, to the extent there is a future economic benefit, otherwise the re-measurement is recognised in the profit or loss. Any unwinding discounting is recognised in the profit or loss. 61 Stanmore Annual Report 2021 17. PROVISIONS (CONTINUED) (C) REHABILITATION PROVISION (CONTINUED) (i) Recognition and measurement (continued) The Consolidated Entity assesses rehabilitation liabilities at each reporting date as there are numerous factors that may affect the ultimate liability payable. This includes the extent and nature of rehabilitation activity to be undertaken, changes in technology and techniques, changes in discount rates and regulatory impacts. There may be differences between the future actual expenditure and the assessment made at balance date. The provisions at balance date represent management’s best estimate of the present value of rehabilitation cost to completely rehabilitate the site. During the year ended 31 December 2021, a decrease in the rehabilitation provision of $1.650m was recognised due to the rehabilitation works completed at Isaac Plains Complex (31 December 2020: $3.851m). Clearing has continued in line with mining operations of $13.745m. A corresponding asset is recognised in Mine Properties. The discount rate used in the calculation of the provision at 31 December 2021 equalled 1.81% (31 December 2020: 0.98%). (D) VENDOR ROYALTIES – CONTINGENT CONSIDERATION (i) Recognition and measurement During the business combination of Isaac Plains in 2015, AASB 3 Business Combination required the recognition of contingent consideration. The contingent consideration relates to a royalty stream payable to the vendors of Isaac Plains in the event that benchmark Hard Coking Coal prices are above an Australia Dollar equivalent of 160 (adjusted for CPI) and coal is produced and from either Isaac Plains or Isaac Plains East. Each royalty is capped at predetermined amount for each vendor. Once the price threshold and production requirements are met, the royalty is payable at $2 per product tonne (2015 dollars) to each of the two vendors of Isaac Plains. As part of the historical acquisition of the Isaac Downs mining rights, a royalty stream is payable to the vendors in the event that benchmark Hard Coking Coal prices are above an Australia Dollar equivalent of 170 (adjusted for CPI) and coal is produced from Isaac Downs mining area. The royalty is capped at a predetermined amount, and once the price threshold and production requirements are met, the royalty is payable at $1 per product tonne (2018 dollars) to the vendor. Royalties across all royalty streams were paid during the year ended 31 December 2021 to the vendors and, as a result, the remaining cap is $17.2m. (ii) Key judgements and estimates The valuation above was performed using a discounted cash flow methodology which was consistent with that used in the previous financial year. The method used is classed as a level 3 valuation under AASB 13. The following key unobservable inputs are used in its calculation: • Hard Coking Coal price curve based on a compilation of short-term (12 months) price from the Group’s coal marketing agent M Resources Pty Ltd, and long-term estimates by Wood McKenzie; • A$/US$ foreign exchange forward curve estimates are based on market consensus curves; and • Coal sales based on the current mining plans of the Isaac Plains Complex, including the Isaac Plains mine, the Isaac Plains East mine (commenced July 2018), and the Isaac Downs mine. As considered in AASB 13 para 93(h)(i), the following unobservable inputs contain sensitivities that would result in significant changes to the market valuation. Interactions between the sensitivities in the coking coal price and the US$/A$ foreign exchange rate. As the coal commodity is currently traded in US$, the interaction between the index price and the foreign exchange rate could both magnify and mitigate each other depending on the timing and direction of movements of both indexes. 62 Stanmore Annual Report 2021Notes to the financial statements (CONTINUED) 17.

(B) CAPITAL MANAGEMENT The capital of the Consolidated Entity is managed to provide capital growth to shareholders and ensure the Consolidated Entity can fund its operations and continue as a going concern. The Consolidated Entity’s capital comprises equity as shown in the consolidated statement of financial position. There are no externally imposed capital requirements. Management oversees the Consolidated Entity’s capital by assessing the financial risks and adjusting its capital structure in response to changes in these risks and the market. These responses include the management of share issues and debt. There have been no changes in the strategy adopted by management to control the capital of the Consolidated Entity since the prior period. (C) RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown as a deduction from the equity proceeds, net of any income tax benefit. 22. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT In common with all other businesses, the Consolidated Entity is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. This note describes the Consolidated Entity’s objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them. Further quantitative information in respect of these risks is presented throughout these financial statements. There have been no substantive changes in the Consolidated Entity’s exposure to financial instruments. The Consolidated Entity’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, trade and other receivables, security deposits, trade and other payables, borrowings, and Vendor Royalty – Contingent Consideration. The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the Consolidated Entity’s risk management objectives and policies and, whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them, it has delegated the authority for designing and operating processes that ensure the effective implementation of the objectives and policies to the Consolidated Entity’s finance function. The Consolidated Entity’s risk management policies and objectives are therefore designed to minimise the potential impacts to these risks on the results of the Consolidated Entity where such impacts may be material. The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as possible without unduly affecting the Consolidated Entity’s competitiveness and flexibility. Further details regarding these policies are set out below. 66 Stanmore Annual Report 2021Notes to the financial statements (CONTINUED) 22. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED) (A) CREDIT RISK Credit risk is the risk that the other party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge their obligation, resulting in the Consolidated Entity incurring a financial loss. This usually occurs when debtors fail to settle their obligations owing to the Consolidated Entity. The Consolidated Entity’s objective is to minimise the risk of loss from credit risk exposure. The Consolidated Entity’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the end of the reporting period, without taking into account the value of any collateral or other security, in the event other parties fail to perform their obligations under financial instruments in relation to each class of recognised financial asset at reporting date, is as follows: Cash and cash equivalents Term deposits Trade and other receivables Security bonds Loans to related parties Credit risk exposure 2021 $’000 62,859 3,710 52,408 15,915 28,950 2020 $’000 5,041 3,711 21,264 14,391 – 163,842 44,407 Credit risk is reviewed regularly by the Board and the Audit and Risk Management Committee. The Consolidated Entity’s credit risk exposure is influenced by mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. Given the Consolidated Entity trades predominately with recognised, credit worthy third parties, the credit risk is determined to be low. The group assessed the expected credit losses in relation to trade and other receivables in the current and prior years to be immaterial and no low allowance has been recorded. Bank deposits are held with the National Australia Bank Limited. The National Australia Bank has a long-term credit rating with rating agency S&P of AA-. (B) LIQUIDITY RISK Liquidity risk is the risk that the Consolidated Entity may encounter difficulties raising funds to meet financial obligations as they fall due. The objective of managing liquidity risk is to ensure that the Consolidated Entity will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they fall due, under both normal and stressed conditions. Liquidity risk is reviewed regularly by the Board and the Audit and Risk Management Committee. The Consolidated Entity manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and liquidity ratios such as working capital. The Consolidated Entity’s working capital, being current assets less current liabilities, has decreased from $34.070m at 31 December 2020 to $(13.592)m at 31 December 2021, primarily due to the presentation of the Group’s finance facility being presented within current liabilities. 67 Stanmore Annual Report 2021 22. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED) (B) LIQUIDITY RISK (CONTINUED) (i) Maturities of financial liabilities The tables below analyse the group’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their contractual maturities: 31 December 2021 Financial liabilities Trade payables Other payables Lease liabilities Contingent consideration – vendor royalties payable Chattel mortgage Revolving facility Short term loan Insurance premium funding Derivative financial instruments Carrying amount $’000 Contractual cash flows $’000 Less than 6 months $’000 Between 6 and 12 months $’000 Between 1 and 3 years $’000 Over 3 years $’000 90,446 90,446 90,446 107 630 8,708 9,110 93,164 – 1,540 6,121 107 737 10,890 9,839 93,164 – 1,599 6,121 107 89 2,001 1,365 – – 1,599 6,121 – – 91 1,230 1,365 93,164 – – – – – 386 4,890 5,461 – – – – – – 171 2,769 1,647 – – – – Total financial liabilities 209,826 212,903 101,728 95,850 10,737 4,587 31 December 2020 Financial liabilities Trade payables Other payables Lease liabilities Contingent consideration – vendor royalties payable Chattel mortgage Revolving facility Short term loan Insurance premium funding Carrying amount $’000 Contractual cash flows $’000 Less than 6 months $’000 Between 6 and 12 months $’000 Between 1 and 3 years $’000 Over 3 years $’000 40,588 40,588 40,588 104 729 13,858 11,373 12,983 2,693 1,476 104 909 14,946 12,569 12,983 2,707 1,491 104 85 3,716 1,365 – 2,707 1,491 – – 87 3,667 1,365 12,983 – – – – – – 369 368 4,046 5,461 3,517 4,378 – – – – – – Total financial liabilities 83,804 86,297 50,056 18,102 9,876 8,263 Further information regarding commitments is included in Note 25 on page 76. 68 Stanmore Annual Report 2021Notes to the financial statements (CONTINUED) 22. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED) (C) CURRENCY RISK The Australian dollar (A$) is the functional currency of the Consolidated Entity and, as a result, currency exposure arises from transactions and balances in currencies other than the A$. The Consolidated Entity’s potential currency exposures comprise: (i) Coal sales denominated in US$ Coal sales for export coal are denominated in US$. The Consolidated Entity is therefore exposed to volatility in the US$:A$ exchange rates. The Consolidated Entity generally aligns all coking coal prices to relevant coking coal indexes, while thermal coal sales are generally sold on the spot market via negotiation with relevant counter parties. The Consolidated Entity does not use any derivative products to mitigate fluctuations in the relevant coal price indexes. (ii) Revolving finance facility On 2 July 2021, the Consolidated Entity signed an amendment to increase the available facility under its existing finance facility with its parent entity, GEAR, from US$ 40m to US$70m, with US$67.6m (A$93.164m) drawn down as at 31 December 2021. As noted above, the Consolidated Entity coal sales are denominated in US$, which provides a natural economic hedge in relation to adverse foreign currency movements that affect the drawn down facility position, and the current policy is not to hedge foreign exchange risk. (iii) Expenses denominated in currencies other than A$ Currently, the exposure to such expenses is minimal, but it is noted that equipment parts and other mine related expenditure can be in various foreign currencies. When entering major transactions in foreign currencies, it is the policy of the Consolidated Entity to assess the currency risk of the transaction and review derivative products or other methods to offset this risk. Where appropriate, these products would be used but no such transactions occurred in current or prior financial years. As at 31 December 2021, the effect on profit or loss as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates would be: 31 December 2021 Cash and cash equivalents – US$ Trade receivables – US$ Revolving facility – US$ Derivative financial instruments – US$ Tax charge of 30% After tax increase/(decrease) Decrease in FX rate by 5% Increase in FX rate by 5% Carrying amount $’000 Profit or loss $’000 Profit or loss $’000 51,028 35,444 (93,164) (4,441) – – 2,551 1,772 (4,658) (222) 167 (390) (2,551) (1,772) 4,658 222 (167) 390 69 Stanmore Annual Report 2021 22. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED) (C) CURRENCY RISK (CONTINUED) 31 December 2020 Cash and cash equivalents – US$ Trade receivables – US$ Revolving facility – US$ Tax charge of 30% After tax increase/(decrease) Decrease in FX rate by 5% Increase in FX rate by 5% Carrying amount $’000 Profit or loss $’000 Profit or loss $’000 4,670 19,543 (12,984) – – 246 1,029 (683) (177) 415 (222) (931) 618 160 (375) (D) MARKET RISK Market risk arises from the use of interest bearing, tradable and foreign currency financial instruments. It is a risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in interest rates (interest rate risk), foreign exchange rates (currency risk) or other market factors (price risk). The Consolidated Entity does not have any material exposure to market risk. (E) INTEREST RISK Interest rate risk arises principally from cash and cash equivalents. The objective of interest rate risk management is to manage and control interest exposures within acceptable parameters while optimising the return. Interest rate risk is managed with a mixture of fixed and floating rate investments. For further details on interest rate risk, refer to the tables below: 31 December 2021 FINANCIAL ASSETS Floating interest rate $’000 Fixed interest rate $’000 Non- interest bearing $’000 Total carrying amount $’000 Weighted average effective interest rate % Cash and cash equivalents 62,859 Restricted cash Receivables Security deposits Total financial assets FINANCIAL LIABILITIES Trade and other payables Other payables Vendor royalties – contingent consideration Derivative financial instruments Lease liabilities Chattel Mortgage Revolving facility Insurance premium fundings Total financial liabilities 62,859 32,660 – 3,710 28,950 – – – – – 630 9,110 93,164 1,540 – – 38,459 57,260 95,719 62,859 3,710 67,409 57,260 191,238 83,390 83,390 107 8,708 6,121 – – – 107 8,708 6,121 630 9,110 93,164 1,540 104,444 98,326 202,770 – – – – – – – – – – – – 0.30%* 0.48%** 9%*** – – – – – – – 4.47% 8% – – 0.3% based on cash rate of 0.1% plus 0.2% margin per NAB Same as period ended 31 December 2020: no change to rates on term deposits * ** *** MetRes utilised interest rate 70 Stanmore Annual Report 2021Notes to the financial statements (CONTINUED) 22.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED) (E) INTEREST RISK (CONTINUED) As at 31 December 2021, the effect on profit and equity as a result of changes in the interest rate would be as follows: 31 December 2021 Cash and cash equivalents Tax charge of 30% After tax increase/(decrease) 31 December 2020 Cash and cash equivalents Tax charge of 30% After tax increase/(decrease) Carrying amount $’000 62,859 – – Carrying amount $’000 5,041 – – Increase in interest rate by 1% Decrease in interest rate by 1% Profit or loss $’000 Equity $’000 Profit or loss $’000 629 (189) 440 629 (189) 440 (629) 189 (440) Equity $’000 (629) 189 (440) Increase in interest rate by 1% Decrease in interest rate by 1% Profit or loss $’000 Equity $’000 Profit or loss $’000 50 (15) 35 50 (15) 35 (50) 15 (35) Equity $’000 (50) 15 (35) (F) FAIR VALUES The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. AASB 9 Financial Instruments: Disclosure which requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy: a) quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1); b) inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (level 2); and c) inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (level 3). The Consolidated Entity completed a level 3 valuation on contingent consideration (Note 17(d)). The carrying value of a significant portion of all financial assets and financial liabilities approximate the fair values due to their short-term nature. There were no transfers between the levels during the period. 31 December 2021 Vendor royalties contingent consideration held at fair value through profit or loss Derivative financial instruments held at fair value through profit or loss Total financial liabilities 31 December 2020 Vendor royalties contingent consideration held at fair value through profit or loss Total financial liabilities Level 1 $’000 Level 2 $’000 Level 3 $’000 – – – – 8,708 6,121 6,121 – 8,708 Level 1 $’000 Level 2 $’000 – – – – Level 3 $’000 13,858 13,858 There were no other financial assets or liabilities carried at fair value as at 31 December 2021.

INTERESTS IN OTHER ENTITIES (CONTINUED) (B) INTERESTS IN JOINT ARRANGEMENTS (CONTINUED) During the period, the group purchased 50% of the issued shares in an incorporated joint venture, MetRes Pty Ltd (the JV), totalling $2.408m as at 31 December 2021. MetRes Pty Ltd is deemed to be a joint venture under relevant accounting standards, and will be accounted for by using the equity method. 24. INTERESTS IN JOINT ARRANGEMENTS The group has a 50% interest in MetRes Pty Limited, a joint venture between Stanmore Resources Limited and M Resources to acquire the Millennium and Mavis Downs Mine. The group’s interest in MetRes Pty Limited is accounted for using the equity method in the consolidated financial statements. Summarised financial information of the joint venture, based on its IFRS financial statements, and reconciliation with the carrying amount of the investment in the consolidated financial statements are set out below: Summarised balance sheet Current assets Other current assets Non-current assets Current liabilities Non-current liabilities Equity The position above is inclusive of the following: • Cash and cash equivalents – $8,718k • Current financial liabilities excluding accounts payable – $41,235k • Non-Current financial liabilities excluding accounts payable and provision – $2,502k Group’s share in equity – 50% Goodwill Carrying amount Summarised statement of comprehensive income Revenue from contracts with customers Cost of sales Depreciation and amortisation Interest expense 74 2021 $’000 23,484 11,245 36,876 (65,192) (15,827) (9,414) 2021 $’000 – – – 2021 $’000 8,103 (21,040) (5,117) (1,563) Stanmore Annual Report 2021Notes to the financial statements (CONTINUED) 24. INTERESTS IN JOINT ARRANGEMENTS (CONTINUED) Profit/(Loss) before tax Income tax expense Income tax expense Loss for the year Total comprehensive income for the year Group’s share of profit/(loss) for the year 2021 $’000 (19,617) (5,885) (13,732) (13,732) (2,409) The Group’s full share of losses is $6.865m for the period to 31 December 2021, of which $4.456m is unrecognised as the losses that exceed the Group’s investment in MetRes Pty Ltd. The joint venture had no other contingent liabilities or commitments as at 31 December 2021 for which the Group is jointly liable. (A) RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT 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 the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. The group’s investment in its joint venture is 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 not tested for impairment separately. The statement of profit or loss 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 the 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 outside operating profit and represents profit or loss after tax and non-controlling interests in the subsidiaries of the joint venture. If The Group’s share of losses of a joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in the joint venture, the Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses. After the entity’s interest is reduced to zero, additional losses are provided for, and a liability is recognised, only to the extent that the entity has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint venture. If the joint venture subsequently reports profits, the Group will resume recognising its share of those profits only after its share of the profits equals the share of losses not recognised. 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 associate or joint venture and its carrying value, and then recognises the loss within ‘Share of profit of a joint venture’ in the statement of profit or loss. Upon loss of significant influence over the 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. 75 Stanmore Annual Report 2021 25.

(i) Land acquisitions On 7 April 2011, the Consolidated Entity announced that it had completed an agreement for the right to purchase The Range thermal coal project in the Surat Basin. Variations to this agreement have been negotiated such that final payment and transfer of title is due 30 days after the Mining Lease is granted by the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy, or an earlier date by agreement. The final payment is indexed to land valuation movements with reference to comparable properties, with a reference price of $3.7m based at 2014. The agreement gives the group access to undertake evaluation and development work as the project moves through the approval process and, ultimately. development and production. The terms of the acquisition are within normal market expectations. 76 Stanmore Annual Report 2021Notes to the financial statements (CONTINUED) 25. COMMITMENTS (CONTINUED) (C) CAPITAL COMMITMENTS (CONTINUED) (ii) Isaac Plains Complex royalty On 26 November 2015, the Consolidated Entity established a finance facility with Taurus to fund the acquisition of and re-start of mining at the Isaac Plains Complex and agreed to a 0.8% royalty payable on: • the saleable value of all product coal owned by the group at that time and processed through the Isaac Plains infrastructure; and • any processing or handling fees arising from the treatment of third-party coal processed through the Isaac Plains infrastructure. The royalty payable increased to 1% during 2017 and this finance facility has since been cancelled (see Note 14 on page 58), but the royalty streams stay on foot and associated costs are included within cost of sales as private royalties (Note 3 on page 42). (iii) Isaac Plains east landholder agreement On 20 July 2017, the Consolidated Entity completed a land holder compensation agreement for access to MLA 70016, MLA 70017, MLA 70018, and MLA 70019. The compensation agreement includes the following contingent consideration item: • a royalty of $0.60/product tonne sold (increasing by 2.5% p.a.) from July 2018 when the published Hard Coking Coal Price for any quarter is greater than US$200/t (increasing by 2.5% p.a.) from July 2017. 26.

EVENTS OCCURRING AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD (A) INTENDED ACQUISITION OF 80% OF BMC JOINT VENTURE AND ASSOCIATED DEBT FACILITY As announced on 8 November 2021, Stanmore Resources Limited has executed a definitive agreement with BHP to acquire BHP’s 80% interest in the BMC (BHP Mitsui Coal Pty Ltd) joint venture. Consideration for the acquisition comprises of US$1.2bn cash with a potential follow-up payment of up to US$150m after two years, the value of which is dependent on the prevailing coal price exceeding certain targets. Completion of the acquisition is anticipated to occur during the second quarter of 2022, subject to certain conditions precedent. Stanmore Resources Limited intends to fund the acquisition with a combination of debt and equity, and announced on 7 January 2022 that Stanmore have signed a definitive agreement, through its wholly owned subsidiary Stanmore SMC Holdings Pty Ltd, with certain financiers in respect of a US$625m debt facility. The debt facility is an amortising loan note facility which matures five years from first utilisation, and is secured against all the assets of Stanmore SMC Holdings and its 100% subsidiary Dampier Coal (the “Borrower Group”). The security includes Dampier Coal’s 80% shareholding in BMC, however, the security does not extend to BMC’s assets and operations and there is no recourse to Stanmore Resources Limited’s existing assets and operations, all of which sit outside the Borrower Group. 77 Stanmore Annual Report 2021 27.

SEGMENT INFORMATION The Consolidated Entity has identified is operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (chief operating decision makers – CODM) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. The Consolidated Entity is managed primarily on a producing asset versus non-producing asset basis. Operating segments are determined on the basis of financial information reported to the Board which is at Consolidated Entity level. All segments are located within Australia. Accordingly, management currently identifies the Consolidated Entity as having two reportable segments, the first being the operation of the Isaac Plains Complex (including the Isaac Plains East project and Isaac Downs bulk sample pit), and the second being all other exploration and development coal assets and corporate. (A) DESCRIPTION OF SEGMENTS (i) Accounting policies adopted Unless otherwise stated, all amount reported to the Board of Directors, being the CODM with respect to operating segments, are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent with those adopted in the annual financial statements of the Consolidated Entity. (ii) Segment assets Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated to the segment that receives most of the economic value from the assets. In most instances, segment assets are clearly identifiable based on their nature and physical location. (iii) Segment liabilities Liabilities are allocated to segments where there is a direct nexus between the liability and the operations of the segment. Borrowings and tax liabilities are generally considered to relate to the whole Consolidated Entity and are not allocated. Segment liabilities include trade and other payables and certain direct borrowings. (iv) Unallocated items Coal trading, corporate, marketing and infrastructure functions which are managed on a group basis are not allocated to an operating segment. The Consolidated Entity’s income taxes are managed on a group basis and are not allocated to reportable segments. (v) Major customers The Consolidated Entity has several customers to whom it sells export grade coal. The Consolidated Entity supplies one such external customer who accounts for 33% of revenue. The next most significant customer accounts for 16% of revenue. (B) SEGMENT RESULTS The segment information for the reportable segments for the year ended 31 December 2021 is as follows: Isaac Plains Complex $’000 Exploration and Development $’000 Unallocated operations $’000 Adjustments and eliminations $’000 31 December 2021 Total segment revenue Segment operating result Depreciation and amortisation Net finance expense Income tax expense Net profit/(loss) after tax Total segment assets Total segment liabilities 382,948 60,477 (25,726) (15,622) – 19,129 360,944 268,043 – – – – – – 43,223 – – (2,624) (1,035) 365 (5,422) (8,716) 57,766 24,826 Total % 382,948 57,853 (26,761) (15,257) (5,422) 10,413 – – – – – – (16,856) 445,077 (10,678) 282,191 81 Stanmore Annual Report 2021 31.

SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS (CONTINUED) (D) RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT The fair value of shares, options or rights granted to employees and consultants are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the employees or consultants become unconditionally entitled of the instruments. In determining fair value, no account is taken of any performance conditions other than those related to the share price of Stanmore Resources Limited (market conditions). The cumulative expense recognised between grant date and vesting date is adjusted to reflect the Directors’ best estimate of the number of instruments that will ultimately vest because of internal conditions of the instruments, such as the employees having to remain with the Consolidated Entity until vesting date, or such that employees are required to meet internal targets. During the year ended 31 December 2021, no rights were granted to employees as long-term incentive. The terms and conditions of previous grants are as follows: Grant date Measurement date Exercise price Balance at start of the period Granted during the period Exercised during the period Forfeited during the period Balance at end of the period 05/11/2018 30/06/2021 24/10/2019 30/06/2022 – – 219,066 89,905 308,971 – – – – – – (110,510) 108,556 (53,563) 36,342 (164,073) 144,898 (i) Performance rights pricing model The fair value of performance rights granted under the previous LTI program was based on the Absolute Shareholder Total Return (ASTR), measured using a Monte Carlo Simulation model incorporating the probability of the performance hurdles being met. The following table lists the inputs to the models used for the periods ended 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2019, prior to the modification following change of control: Performance hurdle Grant date Vesting date Fair value at grant date Share price Exercise price Dividend yield Tranche 1 (issued in FY19) ASTR 5 November 2018 31 July 2021 $0.45 $0.94 $0.00 0% Tranche 2 (issued in FY20) ASTR 24 October 2019 31 July 2022 $0.37 $1.13 $0.00 4.47% Expected measurement period 30 June 2021 – 30 June 2022 30 June 2022 – 30 June 2023 Risk-free interest rate Expected volatility 2.09% 60% 0.73% 50% (ii) Key estimates The Consolidated Entity uses estimates to determine the fair value of equity instruments issued to Directors, executives and employees. The estimates include volatility, risk free rates and consideration of satisfaction of performance criteria for recipients of equity instruments. 83 Stanmore Annual Report 2021 33.

Mr Marcelo Matos Director Brisbane 16/02/2022 88 Stanmore Annual Report 2021 Independent auditor’s report Ernst & Young 111 Eagle Street Brisbane QLD 4000 Australia GPO Box 7878 Brisbane QLD 4001 Tel: +61 7 3011 3333 Fax: +61 7 3011 3100 ey.com/au Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Stanmore Resources Limited Report on the audit of the financial report Opinion We have audited the financial report of Stanmore Resources Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (collectively the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2021, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the year ended 31 December 2021, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors’ declaration. In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: a. Giving a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2021 and of its consolidated financial performance for the year ended on that date; and b. Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Key audit matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, but we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context. We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying financial report. A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation 89 Stanmore Annual Report 2021 Independent auditor’s report (CONTINUED) Vendor Royalty – Contingent Consideration Liability Why significant How our audit addressed the key audit matter The Group recognised contingent consideration at 31 December 2021 of $8.7 million, relating predominantly to its acquisition of Isaac Downs in July 2018. As detailed in note 17 to the financial report, the contingent consideration is a production- based royalty, payable when benchmark hard coking coal prices exceed a threshold coal price. The carrying amount of the royalty payable is estimated based on forecast hard coking coal prices, foreign exchange rates and production volumes, capped at a maximum amount payable as determined within the Royalty Deed. The contingent consideration is a key audit matter due to: the size of the liability; the judgement involved in forecasting hard coking coal prices, foreign exchange rates and production volumes; and the profit and loss volatility that can result from movements in these key input assumptions. Our audit procedures included the following: • Assessed the methodology used to recognise and measure the liability for consistency with Australian Accounting Standards and the requirements of the Royalty Deed. • Tested the mathematical accuracy of the model used to calculate the liability. • Compared the production volumes used in the model to the Board approved budget and life-of-mine model for the Isaac Downs mine. • In conjunction with our valuation specialists, evaluated the forecast coal prices and foreign exchange rates used to measure the liability with reference to market prices (where available) and broker consensus data. • Assessed the adequacy of the disclosures made in the financial statements, including disclosure of significant judgements and estimates adopted by management. Information other than the financial report and auditor’s report thereon The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company’s 2021 annual report other than the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. We obtained the directors’ report and the shareholder information that is to be included in the annual report, prior to the date of this auditor’s report, and we expect to obtain the remaining sections of the annual report after the date of this auditor’s report. Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of the Remuneration Report and our related assurance opinion. In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed on the other information obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation 90 Stanmore Annual Report 2021 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 Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating 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 have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with 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. As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: ► Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. ► Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control. ► Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. ► Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. ► Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation 91 Stanmore Annual Report 2021 Independent auditor’s report (CONTINUED) ► Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied. From the matters communicated to the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current year and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. Report on the audit of the Remuneration Report Opinion on the Remuneration Report We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 20 to 28 of the directors’ report for the year ended 31 December 2021. In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Stanmore Resources Limited for the year ended 31 December 2021, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Responsibilities The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
