Annual Report 2022 STANMORE RESOURCES LIMITED STANMORE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 27 131 920 968 Contents 2 Chair’s Letter 4 8 Chief Executive Officer’s Report Directors’ Report 37 Auditor’s Independence Declaration 38 Financial Statements 99 Independent Auditor’s Report 105 107 Shareholder Information Reserves and Resources 117 Corporate Directory ABOUT STANMORE RESOURCES LIMITED (ASX: SMR) Stanmore Resources Limited controls and operates the Isaac Plains Complex, South Walker Creek and Poitrel metallurgical coal mines, as well as the undeveloped Wards Well, Isaac Plains underground and Isaac Plains South projects, in Queensland’s prime Bowen Basin region. Stanmore Resources is also a joint owner of the Millennium and Mavis Downs Mines and holds several additional high-quality prospective coal tenements located in Queensland’s Bowen and Surat basins. The Company is focused on the creation of shareholder value via the efficient operation of its mining assets and the identification of further development opportunities within the region. 1 Stanmore | Annual Report 2022Chair’s Letter Dear Shareholders, Against the backdrop of the continued strength of metallurgical coal market conditions, Stanmore completed the acquisition of 100% of Stanmore SMC Pty Ltd (SMC) in October 2022 and began realising initial synergies from integrating these mines into our operations. With the addition of these assets, Stanmore delivered record production and financial results, and improved safety and sustainability outcomes for the year. With the Company adding the South Walker Creek and Poitrel mines to our portfolio, Stanmore is now positioned as one of the largest exporters of metallurgical coal in the world. Robust performance across the board has enabled Stanmore to strengthen our balance sheet and help position the Company for future growth and value creation. 2022 PERFORMANCE Stanmore is committed to safety as our number one priority, and the Company recorded an encouraging improvement in total recordable injury frequency rates (TRIFR) to 1.5 per million working hours (31 December 2021: 7.9). It is worth noting that this improvement took place while the number of working hours across our operations increased to 3.4 million from approximately 800,000 hours in 2021, as a result of the SMC acquisition. Isaac Plains celebrated 15 months injury free in February 2023 and the introduction of the SMC workforce and management has provided opportunities to share key safety lessons across the business. 2022 revenue totalled US$2.70 billion, compared with US$284 million the previous year. With additional saleable production from the acquired assets, which are relatively low-cost operations, Stanmore delivered record margins and underlying Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) of US$1.46 billion, which was more than five times the Group’s market capitalisation at the end of 2021. This was driven by the significant investment Stanmore made of US$1.62 billion to acquire 100% of the SMC assets over the course of 2022. Operating cash flow totalled US$1.18 billion compared to US$96 million in 2021. This enabled the Company to reduce net debt to US$183 million, from a peak of US$795 million in net debt immediately following the acquisition of 80% of SMC on 3 May 2022. SUSTAINABILITY AND GOVERNANCE Stanmore’s vision is to be a leading resources company in Australia, creating value through sustainable development. For Stanmore, this means conducting our operations in a way that seeks to minimise any adverse impact on our people, communities and environment. During 2022 we conducted our first materiality assessment to help us better understand the areas of our operations that have the greatest impact on stakeholders. Through this assessment we have defined seven sustainability focus areas for our business: decarbonisation; responsible water and waste management; sustainable land management and rehabilitation; health, safety and wellbeing of our people; working with and supporting our communities; workforce development and inclusion; and being a trusted and responsible mining company. We have also established a Board Sustainability Committee to oversee that the strategy is being implemented in line with our business goals and values. The Company’s capabilities in this important area of operations have also been strengthened with the appointment of a General Manager with responsibility for growth and sustainability. Our focus is on embedding sustainability into our operations and moving beyond compliance, and the details of our achievements and future commitments can be found in Stanmore’s 2022 Sustainability Report. 2 Stanmore | Annual Report 2022In May 2022, the Board also welcomed Caroline Chan, Brett Garland and Matt Latimore as Non-Executive Directors, strengthening our industry expertise and diversity. COMPANY OUTLOOK Stanmore is well positioned to deliver on our strategic priorities. We will continue to optimise our operating assets, focusing on safe operations and realising the synergies from our expanded portfolio. We will also seek to progress organic opportunities for incremental production growth at our mines and across our portfolio of development projects. We will identify and pursue appropriate investments in high quality metallurgical coal assets and sustainable development opportunities that will allow us to create meaningful social, environmental and economic value. On behalf of the Board, I would like to sincerely thank the employees, management team, contract partners and professional advisors of Stanmore for their unwavering efforts which have supported great results for the business. Thanks also to you, our shareholders, for your continued support, particularly through the recent testing market conditions across 2020-21 and the challenges brought about from the Covid-19 pandemic, requiring your patience and financial commitment to help facilitate Stanmore’s transformational journey in what has been a truly remarkable year in 2022. Dwi Suseno Chair Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate 1.5 per million hours Underlying EBITDA US$1.46b 3 Stanmore | Annual Report 2022 Chief Executive Officer’s Report Dear Shareholders, 2022 has been an exciting and transformative year for Stanmore Resources. We completed the acquisition of 100% of SMC and welcomed new employees and contractors into the business. The Company delivered record operating results while executing a seamless integration of the acquired assets, which demonstrates the strength of our operating culture and puts us in a strong position for future growth. Though the industry continued to face challenges such as global inflationary pressures, supply chain disruptions, labour constraints and unseasonal wet weather, as well as ongoing pandemic recovery, the integration of our business this year has been seamless and the commitment, agility and positivity shown by our people is second to none. 2022 saw the Company achieve a record for run of mine (ROM) coal production of 13.5 million tonnes, driven by strong results at our recently integrated Poitrel and South Walker Creek mines. We reported saleable production of 9.2 million tonnes and total sales of product coal of 9.3 million tonnes. It was pleasing to see that these record results were achieved in spite of the impacts of unseasonal wet weather events and while we integrated the acquired assets into our business. All sites ended the year with healthy levels of product and ROM stockpiles to support performance in 2023. 2022 was a year of change for the Isaac Plains Complex, with construction completion and production ramp up at Isaac Downs, commencement of new mining services and coal haulage contractors, and upgrading the capacity at our CHPP and moving to owner operations. Coal mining had a record year, achieving a ROM coal production record of 3.9 million tonnes. South Walker Creek mine continued to achieve impressive results, including the highest annual coal mining, waste stripping and dragline performance on record for the history of the mine, and ROM coal production of 5.4 million tonnes. Poitrel achieved a number of production records during the year, in spite of the impacts of wet weather, and deliver ROM coal production of 4.2 million tonnes. The full integration of the SMC assets was completed in the second half of the year, which allowed us to realise initial synergistic benefits, which included additional coal blending options for customers and the processing of 200,000 tonnes of ROM coal from Isaac Downs at Poitrel’s coal handling and preparation plant (CHPP), among others. Our operations continued to perform safely while managing the implementation of new systems to replace manual processes, and simplifying injury management and hazard, incident, and investigation processes. The outcome is that these systems are fit for purpose and align with the needs of our business. We also implemented a new enterprise resource planning system (SAP), many new contracts, and introduced a new data management platform across the business. These actions have strengthened the business and will allow us to fully realise SMC’s value and create opportunities across our assets. We also concluded the acquisition of the remaining 20% interest in the South Walker Creek and Poitrel operations and associated assets from Mitsui in October 2022, a well-timed transaction fully funded by strong cash flows generated by our operations, consolidating 100% ownership and streamlining management and control of the operating portfolio. Free on board (FOB) costs, excluding royalties, averaged US$83 per tonne sold which was a marginal increase (2021: US$78 per tonne) reflecting inflationary pressures and rising input prices. Average sales price achieved throughout the year was US$290 per tonne compared to US$131 per tonne in 2021. Stanmore has more than 80,000 hectares of land under our management, and we are committed to progressive rehabilitation of areas of mining activity and ultimately returning it to a sustainable final land use. During the year, a total of 270 hectares was successfully rehabilitated across our portfolio. 4 Stanmore | Annual Report 2022Approval for the implementation of the Mulgrave Resource Area 2C (MRA2C) creek diversion project at the South Walker Creek Mine demonstrates our confidence in the quality of the asset, and will enable us to access competitive shorter haulage, lower strip ratio and higher yielding ROM volumes. MRA2C provides the ability to combine lower strip ratio material with other ongoing pits to better manage fleet size with required waste volumes. All regulatory and environmental approvals are in place for the development of this project and the program of works is focused on enabling mining to commence early 2025. 2023 will be our first full year of ownership of the SMC assets and we are focused on realising the operating and economic synergies from owning four mines within a 50 kilometre radius of each other. We will also continue to progress a range of opportunities for improvements to operations and organic production increases. In parallel with this, we will continue to embed a strong sustainability culture into our operations, investigating emissions reduction mechanisms to assist in our decarbonisation journey and implementing Stanmore’s first Reconciliation Action Plan. I have been impressed throughout the year with the way our people have embraced our new Stanmore and demonstrated commitment to creating an agile, entrepreneurial, and caring workplace. The culture we are building, which demonstrates real care and seeks to encourage our people to share their views and experiences to achieve the best outcomes, has been paramount to simplifying activities and achieving our goals. I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the dedication and efforts of the Stanmore Resources team. I thank our employees and contractors for their contribution to the performance of the business, and the directors for their strategic guidance and support. I would also like to thank our Traditional Owners, neighbours, customers and shareholders for their continuing support. Marcelo Matos Chief Executive Officer The Company delivered record operating results while executing a seamless integration of the acquired assets. 5 Stanmore | Annual Report 2022Annual Financial Report DECEMBER 2022 8 Directors’ report 37 Auditor’s Independence Declaration 38 Financial Statements 42 Consolidated statement of changes in equity 43 Consolidated statement of cash flows 44 Notes to the financial statements 107 117 Reserves and Resources Corporate Directory 6 Stanmore | Annual Report 202238 Consolidated statement of profit or loss 98 Directors’ Declaration 39 Consolidated statement of comprehensive income 40 Consolidated statement of financial position 99 105 Independent Auditor’s Report Shareholder Information These financial statements are the consolidated financial statements of the consolidated entity consisting of Stanmore Resources Limited and its subsidiaries.

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 primarily driven by the acquisition of the South Walker Creek and Poitrel mines on 3 May 2022, as a result of the acquisition of SMC. FOB cash costs per tonne have decreased year on year due to the transition to the lower strip ratio Isaac Downs mine combined with the contribution from the low cost South Walker Creek and Poitrel mines. The primary drivers contributing to the Net Profit after Tax (‘NPAT’) result include: • Gross revenue from coal sales increased to US$2,695.8m for the year ended 31 December 2022 from US$283.3m in the period to 31 December 2021. The increase was driven by a US$159.08/t increase in the US$ realised price to an average of US$290.04t from US$130.96/t in the prior period, and an increase in sales of produced coal to 9.3mt in the period to 31 December 2022 from 2.2mt in the period to 31 December 2021; • Due to inflationary pressures, our Free on Board (‘FOB’) cash costs per tonne (excluding royalties and inventory movements) have increased year on year, from US$78.2/t to US$82.6/t, more than offsetting the transition to the lower strip ratio Isaac Downs mine, combined with the contributions from the low-cost South Walker Creek and Poitrel mines. • Depreciation and amortisation costs increased from US$20.0m to US$225.7m in line with the increased Property, Plant and Equipment assets, mine property assets and production levels during the period as a result of the acquisition of the SMC assets. 18 Directors’ Report (CONTINUED)Stanmore | Annual Report 2022 (c) Cash flow In the period to 31 December 2022, total net cash inflows of US$386.8m, including the effect of exchange rate changes, were recorded (31 December 2021: US$41.7m) The net cash inflow from operating activities was US$1,181.7m (31 December 2021: US$95.7m). Overall operational cash flows have increased due to significantly higher receipts from coal sales, driven by the increased sales tonnes and higher average sales price per tonne. Cash outflows from investing activities were US$1,426.8m (31 December 2021: US$72.9m). Of this US$1,323.4m related to the acquisition of the 80% shares in SMC (including US$100m of deferred consideration) and US$83.5m related to ongoing PPE investment. Net cash from financing activities totalled US$640.4m (31 December 2021: US$51.7m), with US$503.1m of inflows from the issue of shares in the period, US$795.0m from the drawdown of financing arrangements, most notably the US$625m acquisition financing facility entered in the period. US$249.2m of borrowings were repaid, US$110m paid in dividends to non-controlling interests and a US$270.0m outflow relating to the acquisition of the remaining 20% in SMC. See note 14 for further information.

The safety performance results for the year are directionally encouraging despite five recordable injuries. The 12-month moving average TRIFR for the business reduced to 1.5 per million hours (31 December 2021: 7.9 per million hours), driven by a 15-month injury free period at Isaac Plains. The strong positive safety culture has continued during the period, with learnings integrated and shared across the business since the integration of assets acquired from BHP and Mitsui. Stanmore continues to support the communities in which our operations are located with a number of grants, sponsorships, important community initiatives and events undertaken during the year. Seventy local community organisations received 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. 19 Directors’ Report (CONTINUED)Stanmore | Annual Report 2022(e) Operations Physicals ROM Coal Mined (mt) Clean coal produced (mt) Coals Sales (mt) Unit costs of sales (US$/t sold) Revenue /Sales T US$ FOB Cash Costs / Sales T (ex Royalties & inv) US$ Royalties / Sales T Group 31 December 2022 31 December 2021 13.50 9.20 9.30 $290.0 $82.6 $49.4 2.80 2.10 2.20 $131.0 $78.2 $12.4 Results for the period benefited from the acquisition of the South Walker Creek and Poitrel mines with sales volumes of produced coal increasing compared to the corresponding period by 7.1 million tonnes, reflecting the full consolidation of SMC from 3 May 2022. The volume increase, which has coincided with an increase in average realised sales price to US$290.04/tonne, has driven a record underlying EBITDA of US$1.456.0m after adjusting for US$335.8m of accounting adjustments and one-off transition costs related to the SMC acquisition to better reflect actual business notional performance. The US$335.8m adjustment is made up of: • Inventory revaluation adjustment based on net realisation value as at 3 May 2022 (at elevated coal prices) required for accounting purposes as part of the BMC acquisition–this increased the value of coal acquired (and subsequently sold in May and June) by US$227.4m • One-off transaction costs associated with the acquisition totalling US$108.3m, such as government stamp duty, due diligence, advisory, transition and subsequent integration costs. Notwithstanding the impacts presented by the increase in royalties imposed by the Queensland State, cash generated from our operations has increased to US$1,181.7m (31 December 2021: US$95.7m). The industry during 2022, just like the global economy, has seen significant pressure on costs driven by rising input prices of diesel, explosives, parts as well as labour and general services. These cost pressures are expected to continue and be realised over the full year in 2023. Noting the continued above inflationary pressures, our Free on Board (‘FOB’) cash costs per tonne (excluding royalties and inventory movements) have increased year on year, from US$78.2/t to US$82.6/t, more than offsetting the transition to the lower strip ratio Isaac Downs mine, combined with the contributions from the low-cost South Walker Creek and Poitrel mines. Weather events (both seasonal and unseasonal across the course of the year) resulted in operational impacts especially in relation to truck and excavator pre strip and coal mining and truck haulage across all three mines, however production targets were achieved as per guidance previously provided. 20 Directors’ Report (CONTINUED)Stanmore | Annual Report 2022 (f) Isaac Downs Project Isaac Downs is located 10 kilometres south of the existing Isaac Plains operations. Isaac Downs operates as an open cut mining operation utilising the existing Isaac Plains infrastructure with coal washing and train loading activities undertaken at the existing CHPP. During the period, the dragline commenced operations at Isaac Downs at which point full scale production commenced. (g) COVID-19 impacts The Group 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 Group 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 Group as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. (h) Financing On 7 January 2022, the Group announced that it had executed, through its wholly owned subsidiary Stanmore SMC Holdings Pty Ltd, a definitive debt facility agreement in respect of a US$625 million secured loan facility, to partly fund the acquisition of the 80% interest in BHP Mitsui Coal Pty Ltd (now Stanmore SMC Pty Ltd). The loan was secured against certain assets of the Group and was used for the general corporate purposes of the Company, including to fund working capital needs. The loan was fully drawn prior to successful completion of the SMC acquisition on 3 May 2022. On 3 March 2022, the Group announced that it had entered into a definitive facility agreement in respect of a US$120 million senior secured Revolving Credit Facility (‘RCF’). The RCF was secured against certain assets of the Group and will be used for the general corporate purposes of the Company, including to fund working capital needs. On 3 March 2022, the Group announced its Share Entitlement Offer to raise A$694 million (US$506 million) to part fund the acquisition of BHP Minerals Pty Ltd’s 80% interest in BMC Mitsui Coal Pty Ltd. The institutional component of the Entitlement Offer closed on 3 March 2022 and raised gross proceeds of A$656 million (US$478 million). The retail component of the Entitlement Offer closed on 24 March 2022, raising A$38 million (US$27.7 million) in gross proceeds. On 4 April 2022, the Group announced the execution of a A$110 million facility, comprising a A$60 million bank guarantee facility and A$50 million working capital facility, to be made available upon completion of the acquisition of BMC. On 14 April 2022, the Group executed an US$50 million Senior Secured Facility Agreement, to act as a short-term bridging loan during the completion period of the BMC acquisition. On 3 May 2022, the Group completed the acquisition of an 80% interest in BHP Mitsui Coal Pty Ltd, consisting of the South Walker Creek and Poitrel mining operations, for initial cash consideration of US$1,255m, which was subsequently adjusted to US$1,223.4m as part of the completion processes. See note 2 for additional information regarding the fair value of the assets acquired and the consideration paid, including contingent and deferred consideration recognised upon completion. On 19 May 2022, the Group executed a A$90 million Surety Bond facility to support the contractual performance guarantee requirements of the BMC. The facility is secured against the BMC specific assets. See note 14 for further information. On 8 December 2022, the Group executed a A$25 million unsecured Surety Bond facility to support the contractual performance guarantee requirements of the Stanmore and Isaac Plains. (i) Investment in MetRes incorporated Joint Venture Auger and open-cut mining continued throughout 2022. MetRes are continuing to mine the Millennium pit, which will assist with coal volumes to support the ramp up of underground operations. Underground mining development drivage has commenced, with development coal expected from late 3Q 23. 21 Directors’ Report (CONTINUED)Stanmore | Annual Report 2022LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (a) Operations Given the transformational changes during 2022, the focus will be to continue streamlining and embedding the acquired operational assets into the Stanmore Group. Healthy ROM inventories at 31 December 2022 have provided a strong position for the early 2023 wet weather events. We expect continued pressure on our input costs, driven by global inflationary environment and labour constraints. However there is optionality to explore competitive value improvement, as well as expansion opportunities to provide incremental volume increases and/or manage these continued input cost pressures. The Mulgrave Resource Area 2C (MRA2C) has been approved, with capital expenditure to commence in 2023. The fully permitted project provides access to lower strip ratio and higher yielding/quality ROM volumes for our South Walker Creek operation. The first annual cash flow sweep of US$252million was paid in February 2023, eliminating 41% of the outstanding principal balance of the acquisition financing facility as at 31 December 2022. As a result, overall balance sheet resilience has been established to provide a strong platform heading into 2023. (b) Exploration and development On 16 February 2022, Stanmore announced a decrease to coal resources and reserves at the Isaac Plains Complex under the relevant Australasian Code for Reporting Exploration Results and Ore Reserves (JORC Code). On 31 October 2022, Stanmore announced an increase to the coal resources and reserves at its SMC assets under the relevant Australasian Code for Reporting Exploration Results and Ore Reserves (JORC Code). On 27 February 2023, Stanmore announced the annual update to coal resources and reserves across the Group under the relevant Australasian Code for Reporting Exploration Results and Ore Reserves (JORC Code). The total Proved and Probable Coal Reserves across all tenements formally declared and published are now 382Mt, and the total Marketable Coal Reserves are 294Mt. The Group will continue to monitor and assess the opportunities to develop or monetise its existing portfolio of assets in the Bowen and Surat Basins and explore acquisition opportunities where it makes financial and commercial sense to do so. (c) Managing risks Stanmore is a metallurgical coal company operating in a volatile pricing market. Factors specific to Stanmore, or those which impact the market more broadly, may individually or in combination impact the financial and operating performance of the Group. These events may be beyond the control of the Board or management of Stanmore. The material risks associated with an investment in Stanmore are summarised below. Stanmore identifies and actively manages the material risks as part of its risk management governance framework and internal control systems. (i) Safety risks The Health and Safety of our employees 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 people associated with our business are not exposed to hazards that will jeopardise their physical and mental health and safety. 22 Directors’ Report (CONTINUED)Stanmore | Annual Report 2022(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. The completion of agreements to acquire 100% of the assets of SMC operations greatly reduces the reliance risk. Operating risks that may result in the reduction in performance that decreases the Group’s ability to produce high quality metallurgical coal to meet customer’s shipping needs include but are not limited to weather conditions, machinery failure, critical infrastructure failure or natural disasters and supplier concentration. (iii) Market risks The Group’s activities expose it to market risks including commodity price risk and foreign currency risk. The Group’s exposure to commodity price risk is predominantly changes in metallurgical coal prices, which are driven by various factors, including but not limited to, changes in seaborne supply, geopolitical economic activity, commodity substitution, international demand and contract sales negotiations. Currently, the Group does not hedge against coal price volatility. As the US dollar is the Group’s predominant sales currency and functional currency, any transactions denominated in a currency other than the US dollar expose the Group to foreign currency risk. The Group enters into Derivative Financial Instruments to hedge a portion of this risk. In order to diversify its customer base and to minimise reliance on key customers, the Group is continuing to work on identifying new customers and markets in 2023 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 results from exploration activities and various assumptions regarding loss and dilution, drilling depth and other geotechnical constraints. Reserves are sensitive to cost and revenue assumptions. Some of the deposits are more sensitive to 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 as more detailed exploration is undertaken the estimates are expected to change. (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 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 advisors to provide expert advice where necessary to ensure it manages its compliance obligations appropriately. 23 Directors’ Report (CONTINUED)Stanmore | Annual Report 2022(vi) Climate change risks The operations of the Group are focused on the production of metallurgical coal for use in the steel making industry. Considering the nature of the industry in which the Group operates, both physical and transitional climate change risks have the potential to impact assets, production and the markets where our product is sold. Transitional risks are climate change risks associated with the transition to the lower-carbon economy and include policy, legal, technology and market related risks. Physical risks have direct financial implications to the Group, and 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 in the potential risks and opportunities to our business and the broader sector as a result of shifts towards a lower-carbon economy. This includes the risk of climate activism. 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. The Group 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. Further details in relation to climate change risk will be provided in the Stanmore 2022 Sustainability Report. Stanmore will report in reference to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards, including the GRI Standard 12–Coal Sector 2022. The GRI Standard provides a framework to report Stanmore’s most significant impacts on the economy, environment, and people. Stanmore is working towards tracking and disclosing our climate-related risks and opportunities in line with the Taskforce on Climate Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework. (vii) Indigenous engagement Through a process of facilitation and recognition of the need for reconciliation, Stanmore is dedicated to developing a working and collaborative relationship with the traditional custodians of the land in which we operate. This includes the Barada Barna, Widi and Janga People. The Company has committed to developing a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), the draft of which has been submitted to Reconciliation Australia. The process will not only strengthen ties with the traditional owners but pave the way for true reconciliation within the broader meaning. Stanmore has developed Native Title Consent Agreements (ILUA) and Cultural Heritage Management Plans across our operations, with the Barada Barna and Widi People. (viii) Sovereign risks Stanmore 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. Stanmore’s view is metallurgical coal is critical for future steel production. During the period the Queensland Government announced a significant change to the coal royalty regime as part of its 2022-23 budget, making the royalties paid by coal producers in Queensland the highest in the world. Three new progressive royalty tiers have been introduced in addition to the current structure, so the regime is as follows: • As per the existing regime for prices below A$175 per tonne; • 20% for prices above A$175 per tonne; • 30% for prices above A$225 per tonne; and • 40% for prices above A$300 per tonne. 24 Directors’ Report (CONTINUED)Stanmore | Annual Report 2022The previous regime was: • 7% for prices up to A$100 per tonne • 12.5% for prices up to A$150 per tonne; and • 15% for prices above A$150 per tonne. The changes to the safeguard mechanism currently being considered by the Australian federal parliament create a future risk to the Stanmore business. Two of our mines are considered safeguard facilities and will be impacted by declining emissions baselines as proposed. We are monitoring developments and are concurrently putting in place mitigation measures to reduce the financial impact. (ix) Access to capital There is a risk that the Group has insufficient liquidity or is unable to access funding on acceptable terms. The Group manages this risk by retaining a prudent level of cash reserves and maintaining an adequate level of credit facilities. The acquisition of SMC was funded through a combination of financing (US$625 million senior debt facility) and equity (US$503 million) demonstrating the Group’s ability to access funds when required. At 31 December 2022 the Group remains well funded with cash reserves of US$432.4 million and access to finance facilities of US$223.9 million that are expected to be sufficient to meet the business’ requirements. There is a risk of non-compliance with our annual covenant ratios and compliance requirements. This risk is considered low based on current forecast assumptions and current headroom. The Group currently participates in the Queensland Rehabilitation Provisioning Scheme. The Scheme provided for the contribution of an annual fee rather than to put in place bank guarantee or bonding arrangements with the Queensland Government. Should the Group cease to qualify for participation in the Scheme, a bonding arrangement of approximately A$396.6m will be required to be put in place placing further stress on the capacity of the Group to access capital for other activities. (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 of obtaining appropriate levels of insurance or an inability to secure adequate insurance cover. (xi) Cyber risk The Group’s operations are supported by a robust back-up data and information technology security framework. However, security of information and operational systems may still be threatened by cyber-attack, computer viruses and similar unauthorised access and disruptions. The Group looks to manage this risk by investing in systems and processes to prevent and detect attacks and unauthorised access. (xii) Logistics risk The Group is dependent on third party rail and port providers to export our product. Disruptions in the coal logistics chain can have a material impact on our business as would the inability to secure and/or maintain logistical contractual arrangements. The Group looks to manage this risk by operating on two different port / rail corridors, contracting with multiple providers of above rail capacity and securing secondary capacity. (xiii) Attract and retain people The Group’s ability to achieve its strategy is reliant on attracting, developing and retaining skilled and experienced employees and contractors. An inability to attract or retain such personnel could adversely affect the success of the Group’s business. To manage this risk, the Group seeks to design employment arrangements and succession plans to secure and retain key personnel. In addition, the Group seeks to build a future supply of industry labour by focussing on our local communities and new to mining entrants. 25 Directors’ Report (CONTINUED)Stanmore | Annual Report 2022REMUNERATION REPORT (Audited) This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for Key Management Personnel (‘KMP’) of the Group. KMP are defined as those persons who have the authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Group, including the Director’s of the parent entity, Stanmore Resources Limited. The Group’s KMP during 2022 and up to the date of this report were: BOARD Name Position Held Mr Dwi Suseno Non-Executive Director Chair of the Board of Directors Chair of the Disclosure Committee Chair of the Sustainability Committee Appointed 20 April 2022 Resigned 1 January 2023 Mr Marcelo Matos Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer Mr Jimmy Lim Non-Executive Director Chair of the Remuneration and Nominations Committee Mr Matthew Latimore Non-Executive Director Appointed 25 May 2022 Mr Mark Trevan Independent Non-Executive Director Chair of the Health & Safety Committee Resigned 1 July 2022 Mr Richard Majlinder Independent Non-Executive Director Chair of the Audit and Risk Management Committee Mr Brett Garland Independent Non-Executive Director Chair of the Health & Safety Committee Ms Caroline Chan Independent Non-Executive Director Chair of the Sustainability Committee Appointed 25 May 2022 Appointed 1 July 2022 Appointed 25 May 2022 Appointed 1 January 2023 OTHER EXECUTIVE KMP Name Position Held Mr Shane Young Chief Financial Officer Mr Leandro Pires General Manager Technical Mr Damian Zagel General Manager Growth and Sustainability Mr Jon Romcke General Manager Development Appointed 19 May 2022 Resigned 29 April 2022 26 Directors’ Report (CONTINUED)Stanmore | Annual Report 2022REMUNERATION GOVERNANCE The Group’s business strategy of managing an operating metallurgical coal business can only be achieved by identifying and retaining high calibre employees with appropriate experience and capability. Developing an appropriate compensation strategy for the Group’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 teams without creating an undue cost burden. The Board maintains overall responsibility for the remuneration of the Executive KMP and ensures structures are competitive and align with the long-term interest of the Group and shareholders. Oversight in relation to KMP remuneration is delegated to the Remuneration and Nominations Committee (RNC) who regularly review, report and make recommendations to the Board. The Board formally reviews Board and senior executive performance on an annual basis. REVIEW OF REMUNERATION ARRANGEMENTS From time to time, the RNC seeks and considers advice from external advisors who are engaged by and report directly to the committee. Such advice will typically cover Non-Executive Director fees and other executive remuneration. The RNC proposed revised Non-Executive Director remuneration rates which were accepted by the Board. Following the revision to the remuneration, total aggregate Director remuneration remained within the shareholder approved maximum aggregate cap of A$750,000 pa. Following completion of the successful acquisition of the SMC assets, a review of other executive fixed remuneration, including Executive KMP, was carried out using data sourced from an external provider. Following receipt of the data, the RNC proposed revised executive remuneration rates which were accepted by the Board. The RNC has processes in place to ensure that all engagements with independent external remuneration consultants, and recommendations (if any) are free from undue influence. At times, remuneration consultants may be required to interact with management to obtain relevant information required to form any remuneration recommendations. In these instances, the Chair of the RNC has oversight of these interactions. The Board confirms that remuneration recommendations were made free from undue influence. EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS It is the Board’s policy that employment contracts are entered into with all Non-Executive Directors and Executive KMP. For the purpose of this Remuneration Report, Mr Marcelo Matos is considered as an Executive KMP. Employment contracts detail conditions of employment and individual terms which include cash salary, superannuation, STI and LTI arrangements and non-cash benefits. The details of key employment terms are noted below.

The CEO reviews performance of the senior management team and then makes recommendations for review and approval by the RNC and Board. The RNC reviews performance of the CEO and then makes recommendations for review and approval by the Board. 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. Non-Executive Director fixed remuneration The Board seeks to aggregate remuneration at a level which provides the Company 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 A$750,000 per annum (31 December 2021: A$750,000 p.a.). Non-Executive Director fees are A$113,000 per annum (31 December 2021: A$50,000 p.a.). Committee fees are A$22,600 (31 December 2021: A$10,000) per annum for the Chair and A$11,300 (31 December 2021: A$5,000) per annum for members. In addition, during the period the Board 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, which was paid on 10 June 2022.

Short-term incentives For the year ended 31 December 2022, performance targets for STI were formalised and agreed by the Board. There are no individual targets in the STI Plan. All targets are based on performance of the Group with all employees working towards common goals. The outcomes for the STI scheme for the year ended 31 December 2022 are shown below.

TSR will take into account all dividends paid to shareholders over the previous 12 months and any declared but unpaid dividends as at 1 April in the relevant year. A recommended TSR will be calculated, taking into account, without limitation, publicly available information; and • 12% Weighted Average Cost of Capital (50% of LTI to be assessed against this condition). Measurement Targets are as follows: TSR (weighted average) WACC Payment multipliers are as follows: Relative TSR WACC Threshold 80% 80% Threshold 50% 50% Target 80% = 100% 12% = 100% Target 100% 100% Stretch 120% 120% Cap 200% 200% If a result falls in between the ranges, the LTI Payment will be awarded a % multiplier on a linear basis.

The financial statements are presented in US dollars. 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 Group are the exploration, development, production and sale of metallurgical coal in Queensland, Australia. The consolidated general-purpose financial report of the Group for the period ended 31 December 2022 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 27 February 2023. 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 United States dollars with all values rounded to the nearest hundred thousand dollars 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 Group and effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022. 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. The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for Contingent Consideration, Financial assets held at fair value and Derivative Financial Instruments which have been measured at fair value. The Group is a for- profit entity for the purposes of Australian Accounting Standards. (a) Change in functional and presentation currency The Company and its subsidiaries changed their functional currencies from Australian dollars to US dollars in the current financial year. The functional currency is deemed the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates. As a result of the acquisition of the 80% share in Stanmore SMC Pty Ltd on 3 May 2022, a reassessment of the functional currency was undertaken. The Group’s revenues continue to be predominantly denominated in US dollars, however the quantum has increased as a result of the acquisition. Local labour and material costs are generally denominated in Australian dollars, however associated sales and marketing costs are often denominated in US dollars. Significant US dollar financing arrangements were entered into during the period, further increasing the Group’s exposure to US dollar denominated transactions. As such, the change in the functional currency of all entities in the Group to US dollars is considered most appropriate. 44 Stanmore | Annual Report 20221 BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FULL YEAR REPORT (CONT.) The Group changed its presentation currency from Australian dollars to US dollars in the current financial period. The change in presentation currency is accounted for retrospectively. Comparative financial information previously reported in Australian dollars, has been restated into US dollars using the procedures outlined below: • The consolidated statement of profit or loss, consolidated statement of comprehensive income and consolidated statement of cash flows have been translated to US dollars using average exchange rates for the relevant period; • Assets and Liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position have been translated to US dollars using the exchange rate as at the relevant balance dates; • The Equity section of the consolidated statement of financial position has been converted to US dollars using historical exchange rates; • Earnings per share and dividend disclosures have also been restated to US dollars based on restated US dollar results for the period; • Translation differences are recognised in the Foreign Currency Translation Reserve, through Other Comprehensive Income. (b) Key judgements and estimates In the process of applying the Groups accounting policies, management 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: Fair value of assets/liabilities/consideration payable upon acquisition Note 3: Revenue recognised on provisional pricing arrangement Note 5: Reset of tax bases Note 11: Capitalised development costs Note 11: Identification of impairment indicators Note 17: Rehabilitation provision (c) Going concern Page 47 Page 50 Page 54 Page 65 Page 66 Page 72 At 31 December 2022, the current liabilities exceed the current assets by US$39.8m, primarily as a result of the cash flow sweep mechanism set out in the acquisition finance debt facility disclosed in note 14 being triggered. The triggering of this mechanism results in an accelerated repayment of the loan principal of US$252.3m in addition to the agreed principal repayments initially set out in the facility agreement. The Directors have considered projected cash flow information for the 12 months from the date of 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. Based on this analysis, the Group is expected to continue to satisfy its obligations as and when they fall due. 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. 45 Notes to the financial statements (CONTINUED)Stanmore | Annual Report 20221 BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FULL YEAR REPORT (CONT.) (d) COVID-19 The Group 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 Group 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 Group as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. (e) Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as at 31 December 2022. 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. All intercompany balances and transactions, including unrealised profits arising from intragroup transactions have been eliminated. 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 Group 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 Group; • it helps to explain the impact of significant changes in the Group’s business, for example, acquisitions and impairment write-downs; or • it is related to an aspect of the Group’s operations that is important to its future performance. (i) New and amended standards and interpretations adopted by the Group The Group has applied all the standards and amendments for the first time for their annual reporting period commencing 1 January 2022. These amendments had no material impact on the financial statements of the Group. 46 Notes to the financial statements (CONTINUED)Stanmore | Annual Report 20222 BUSINESS COMBINATION Accounting policies Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, which is measured at acquisition date fair value. On the acquisition of a business, the Group assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the Group’s operating or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions in existence at the acquisition date. Contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at the acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is recognised in profit or loss. Contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. The difference between the acquisition-date fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of any pre-existing investment in the acquiree is recognised as goodwill. If the consideration transferred and the pre-existing fair value is less than the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, being a bargain purchase to the acquirer, the difference is recognised as a gain directly in profit or loss by the acquirer on the acquisition-date, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, if any, the consideration transferred and the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquirer. Business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The Group retrospectively adjusts the provisional amounts recognised and also recognises additional assets or liabilities during the measurement period, based on new information obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition-date. The measurement period ends on either the earlier of (i) 12 months from the date of the acquisition or (ii) when the acquirer receives all the information possible to determine fair value. For each business combination, Non-Controlling interest in the acquiree is measured at either fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. All acquisition costs expenses as incurred to profit or loss. Acquisition of Dampier Coal (Queensland) Pty Ltd Summary of acquisition On 3 May 2022, the Group acquired 100% of the ordinary shares in Dampier Coal (Queensland) Pty Ltd for total consideration of up to US$1,526.3 million. This enabled the entity to acquire BHP’s 80% interest in BHP Mitsui Coal Pty Ltd (now Stanmore SMC Pty Ltd). This entity produces and sells metallurgical and thermal coal operating in the same geographic area as the current operating business. A further US$100.0 million was paid on 3 November 2022 in relation to deferred consideration agreed as part of the acquisition. The values identified in relation to the acquisition are provisional as at 31 December 2022. 47 Notes to the financial statements (CONTINUED)Stanmore | Annual Report 20222 BUSINESS COMBINATION (CONT.) Details of the purchase consideration, the net assets acquired and goodwill are as follows: Purchase consideration Cash paid Deferred consideration Contingent consideration Total purchase consideration The assets and liabilities recognised as a result of the acquisition are as follows: Cash Trade and other receivables Inventories Property, plant and equipment Capitalised development and exploration Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income Trade and other payables Current tax liability Deferred tax liability Provision for employee benefits Lease liabilities Rehabilitation provisions Net identifiable assets acquired Less: non-controlling interests Net assets acquired Outflow of cash to acquire subsidiary, net of cash acquired Total consideration Deferred consideration Contingent consideration Less: Balances acquired Cash Net outflow of cash – investing activities 48 $M 1,286.3 100.0 140.0 1,526.3 Provisional fair value $M 63.0 362.8 314.7 1,067.3 1,175.3 25.0 (255.8) (16.1) (364.5) (16.2) (256.8) (190.8) 1,907.9 (381.6) 1,526.3 31 December 2022 $M (1,526.3) 100.0 140.0 63.0 (1,223.3) Notes to the financial statements (CONTINUED)Stanmore | Annual Report 20222 BUSINESS COMBINATION (CONT.) The US$100m of deferred consideration was subsequently paid on 3 November 2022, in accordance with the sales and purchase agreement, and has been presented separately in the consolidated statement of cash flows. Acquisition-related costs Transaction costs associated with the acquisition have been expensed as transaction and transition costs in the period totalling US$70.4m. (i) Significant estimate: contingent consideration As part of the acquisition AASB 3 required the recognition of the additional consideration yet to the paid to the vendor. 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. As at 31 December 2022, it is management’s expectation that those conditions will be met, and as such have recognised the expected discounted cash flows of the contingent consideration in full. (ii) Accounting policy choice for non-controlling interests The Group recognises non-controlling interests in an acquired entity either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquired entity’s net identifiable assets. This decision is made on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis. For the non-controlling interests in Stanmore SMC Pty Ltd, the Group elected to recognise the non-controlling interests at its proportionate share of the acquired net identifiable assets. Profit or loss and each component of OCI are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. Revenue and profit contribution Since the acquisition the SMC Group has contributed US$2,103.9m in revenue and US$447.3m in profit after tax. Had the business combination occurred at the beginning of the financial reporting period, it is estimated that Group revenues and profit after tax would have been US$4,004.3m and US$1,310.4m respectively. Acquisition of non-controlling interests in Stanmore SMC Pty Ltd Summary of acquisition On 7 October 2022, Dampier Coal (Queensland) Pty Ltd, a 100% owned subsidiary of the Consolidated Entity completed the acquisition of the remaining 20% interest in Stanmore SMC Pty Ltd from Mitsui Coal. The acquired entity was already a consolidated subsidiary of the Group and as such the acquisition did not result in any further fair value adjusted in relation to the operational assets of Stanmore SMC Pty Ltd. The final price paid for the acquisition was US$270m, paid in full at the time of acquisition. As the acquisition was acquiring the remaining 20% minority interests in Stanmore SMC Pty Ltd, the purchase does not result in any changes to the fair value of Stanmore SMC’s assets. Any difference between the purchase price and the cumulative Non-Controlling Interests prior to the acquisition has been recognised within Retained Earnings in the Statement of Changes in Equity, as it is considered a transaction with owners in their capacity as owners. 49 Notes to the financial statements (CONTINUED)Stanmore | Annual Report 20223 REVENUE Revenue from contracts with customers Total revenue Group 31 December 2022 $M 31 December 2021 $M 2,695.8 2,695.8 283.3 283.3 (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 Metallurgical coal/South America Thermal coal/Asia Thermal coal/Europe Total segment revenue Group 31 December 2022 $M 31 December 2021 $M 2,128.2 331.6 103.3 116.7 16.0 2,695.8 219.5 43.1 – 20.7 – 283.3 50 Notes to the financial statements (CONTINUED)Stanmore | Annual Report 20223 REVENUE (CONT.) (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 Group 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 Group 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 either through the Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal or the North Queensland Export Terminal, with the significant majority of the coal sold during the year ended 31 December 2022 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 Group committing to the supply of coal to the customer. Coking Coal Quarterly Index Linked Price Contracts recognition Coal Sales contracts with Stanmore Resources customers generally contain monthly or quarterly pricing provisions linked to the relevant coking coal index or benchmarks. Index relativities take into account quality specifications and other contractual considerations. When the final pricing has not been determined at the time of invoicing, sales invoices are issued based on provisional prices. These provisional prices are then adjusted when the final index levels are known or benchmark prices have been settled. Due to the potential volatility in coal price indices, Management reviews the revenue recognised for any provisionally priced shipments at the end of each period. Coal sales revenue recognised for these shipments is then adjusted based on current index levels, price forecasts and managements judgements on the risks associated with the customer. 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. 51 Notes to the financial statements (CONTINUED)Stanmore | Annual Report 2022 4 OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE ITEMS (a) Other income Dividends Services (b) Breakdown of other expenses Operational accommodation and travel Sales and marketing Administration and other operational expenses Total other expenses Transaction costs Transition costs Total transaction and transition costs Group 31 December 2022 $M 31 December 2021 $M 1.2 2.1 3.3 – 1.0 1.0 Group 31 December 2022 $M 31 December 2021 $M 27.1 41.0 41.6 109.7 6.1 4.5 4.3 14.9 Group 31 December 2022 $M 31 December 2021 $M 70.4 37.9 108.3 – – – Transaction costs primarily consist of fees and expenses incurred in the completion of the sale and purchase of the 100% interest in Dampier Coal (Queensland) Pty Ltd, such as stamp duty, legal fees, and due diligence activities.

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. (ii) Wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non–monetary benefits and annual leave 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. 53 Notes to the financial statements (CONTINUED)Stanmore | Annual Report 2022 5 INCOME TAX EXPENSE (a) Income tax expense Current income tax expense Prior year adjustments Deferred income tax (benefit)/expense Income tax expense Group 31 December 2022 $M 31 December 2021 $M 284.6 (3.7) (198.5) 82.4 7.0 (5.4) 2.0 3.6 (b) Numerical reconciliation of income tax expense to prima facie tax payable Prima facie tax expense (30%) on profit/(loss) before income tax Add tax effect of: Tax offset for franked dividends Accounting distribution – MetRes Pty Ltd Prior period taxes over/(under) recognised Deferred tax upon tax base reset Income tax expense/(benefit) Group 31 December 2022 $M 31 December 2021 $M 242.9 0.3 (5.8) (3.7) (151.3) 82.4 3.1 – 0.5 – – 3.6 As a result of the acquisition for the remaining 20% interest in Stanmore SMC, the Group obtained 100% ownership, resulting in Stanmore SMC and Red Mountain Infrastructure Pty Ltd joining the Stanmore Resources tax group from 7 October 2022. This resulted in a resetting of the tax base of those assets and liabilities, with an overall reduction in the deferred tax liabilities recognised. In assessing the reset of the tax bases of these subsidiaries, judgement has been applied in developing the estimated values used to determine the tax bases and the accounting for the reset. On the basis that the reset of the tax bases is not a direct consequence of the acquisition of the NCI but indirect, the tax effects of the adjustment of the tax base has been recognised in the profit or loss through income tax expense. 54 Notes to the financial statements (CONTINUED)Stanmore | Annual Report 2022 5 INCOME TAX EXPENSE (CONT.) (c) Deferred tax balances The balance comprises temporary differences attributable to: Deductible temporary differences Taxable temporary differences Net deferred tax liabilities Group 31 December 2022 $M 31 December 2021 $M 164.2 (347.3) (183.1) 13.5 (35.6) (22.1) Deferred tax assets will only be recognised when: • the Group derives future assessable income of a nature of an amount sufficient to enable the losses to be realised; • the Group continues to comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law; and • no changes in tax legislation aversely affect the Group in realising the losses. (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. 55 Notes to the financial statements (CONTINUED)Stanmore | Annual Report 20225 INCOME TAX EXPENSE (CONT.) 31 December 2022 Provision for rehabilitation Provision for onerous contracts Property, plant and equipment Contingent consideration Exploration and development costs Unrealised FX Other Vendor receivable Provision for impairment – exploration Rail loop benefit Mineral rights Lease liabilities TOTAL Opening balance $ ‘M Recognised in profit or loss $ ‘M Recognised on acquisition $ ‘M Closing balance $’M Deferred tax asset $’M Deferred tax liability $’M 5.5 0.4 (11.2) 1.9 (24.0) 2.0 1.1 – 2.6 (0.4) – – (8.1) (0.1) 48.3 – 1.0 (8.1) 74.1 3.1 – – 84.9 7.1 57.2 – 54.6 0.3 (254.6) (217.5) – 1.9 (11.6) (34.6) – (59.3) – – – (173.6) 78.7 (6.1) 15.9 3.1 2.6 (0.4) (88.7) 85.8 (22.1) 202.2 (363.2) (183.1) 54.6 0.3 – 1.9 – – 15.9 3.1 2.6 – – 85.8 164.2 – – (217.5) – (34.6) (6.1) – – – (0.4) (88.7) – (347.3) 56 Notes to the financial statements (CONTINUED)Stanmore | Annual Report 20225 INCOME TAX EXPENSE (CONT.) 31 December 2021 Provision for rehabilitation Provision for onerous contracts Property, plant and equipment Contingent consideration 6.1 0.8 (4.1) 3.2 Exploration and development costs (15.6) Unrealised FX Other Vendor receivable Provision for impairment – exploration and development Rail loop benefit Overburden in advance TOTAL (i) Tax consolidation 0.4 (2.9) (0.1) 2.8 (0.6) (11.4) (21.4) Opening balance $ ‘M Recognised in profit or loss $ ‘M Closing balance $’M Deferred tax asset $’M Deferred tax liability $’M (0.6) (0.4) (7.1) (1.3) (8.4) 1.6 4.0 0.1 (0.2) 0.2 11.4 (0.7) 5.5 0.4 (11.2) 1.9 (24.0) 2.0 1.1 – 2.6 (0.4) – (22.1) 5.5 0.4 – 1.9 – 2.0 1.1 – 2.6 – – 13.5 – – (11.2) – (24.0) – – – – (0.4) – (35.6) Stanmore Resources Limited and its wholly owned subsidiaries have formed a tax consolidated group and are taxed as a single entity.

The loan is fully secured against the underlying property, plant & equipments, and mine properties of the Joint Venture. The loan was fully repaid as at 31 December 2022 (31 Dec 2021: US$18.3m). (a) Recognition and measurement Trade and other receivables 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. (i) Impairment The Group 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 and other 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. 60 Notes to the financial statements (CONTINUED)Stanmore | Annual Report 20229 INVENTORIES Current assets ROM coal inventories Product coal stocks Warehouse inventories Group 31 December 2022 $M 31 December 2021 $M 52.8 31.3 23.4 107.5 2.5 6.0 – 8.5 (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: • 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. 61 Notes to the financial statements (CONTINUED)Stanmore | Annual Report 202210 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Plant and equipment At cost Accumulated depreciation Land and buildings At cost Accumulated depreciation Right of use asset At cost Accumulated depreciation Capital work in progress At cost Group 31 December 2022 $M 31 December 2021 $M 570.6 (113.0) 457.6 259.3 (11.8) 247.5 315.3 (46.0) 269.3 128.9 128.9 1,103.3 64.3 (29.2) 35.1 7.7 (3.4) 4.3 0.5 (0.2) 0.3 7.2 7.2 46.9 62 Notes to the financial statements (CONTINUED)Stanmore | Annual Report 202210 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (CONT.)

(ii) Revaluation, depreciation methods and useful lives The carrying amount of all non-mining property fixed assets, except land, is depreciated over their useful life from the time the asset is held ready for use. 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 wash plant and loadout facilities utilise the Economically Recoverable Resources of the associated mining complex, which includes an estimate of recoverable underground coal reserves. The depreciation rates used for each class of assets are: • Plant and equipment • Furniture and office equipment • Buildings and improvements • Right-of-use asset 5-10% straight line 5-25% straight line over the lease term 5-25% straight line/units of production 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. 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 and operating costs. 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. The Group’s assets are metallurgical coal assets and 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 Group 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 Group 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. 64 Notes to the financial statements (CONTINUED)Stanmore | Annual Report 202211 CAPITALISED DEVELOPMENT, EXPLORATION AND MINE PROPERTIES Group 31 December 2022 $M 31 December 2021 $M Capitalised development costs Exploration and evaluation Mine properties Group Year ended 31 December 2022 Opening net book amount Exchange differences Acquisition of subsidiary Additions Reclassifications Depreciation charge Closing net book amount Group Period ended 31 December 2021 Opening net book amount Exchange differences Additions Depreciation charge Closing net book amount – 68.9 1,177.6 1,246.5 Capitalised development costs $ ‘M Exploration and evaluation assets $ ‘M Mine properties $ ‘M 64.4 (0.9) – 22.4 (85.9) – – 32.2 (2.3) 38.8 0.2 – – 68.9 15.0 7.8 1,136.5 2.3 85.9 (69.9) 1,177.6 Capitalised development costs $M Exploration and evaluation $M Mine properties $M 34.0 (2.9) 33.3 – 64.4 31.5 (0.9) 1.6 – 32.2 13.3 (0.2) 11.6 (9.7) 15.0 64.4 32.2 15.0 111.6 Total $ ‘M 111.6 4.6 1,175.3 24.9 – (69.9) 1,246.5 Total $M 78.8 (4.0) 46.5 (9.7) 111.6 (a) Recognition and measurement – capitalised development Capitalised Development expenditure includes costs transferred from Exploration and Evaluation when the Group can demonstrate: • the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale; • its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset; • how the asset will generate future economic benefits; • the availability of resources to complete the asset; and • the ability to measure reliably the expenditure during development. 65 Notes to the financial statements (CONTINUED)Stanmore | Annual Report 202211 CAPITALISED DEVELOPMENT, EXPLORATION AND MINE PROPERTIES (CONT.) 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 commenced in the first quarter of 2022, at which point the capitalised development costs were reclassified to Mine properties and amortisation commenced accordingly. (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 Group 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, US$85.9m of costs have been transferred during the financial year in relation to the Isaac Downs operation. The Group 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. 66 Notes to the financial statements (CONTINUED)Stanmore | Annual Report 202212 OTHER ASSETS Other current assets Prepayments Other non-current assets Security bonds Intangible assets Other Group 31 December 2022 $M 31 December 2021 $M 20.0 20.0 19.7 1.1 1.3 22.1 14.1 14.1 44.2 1.5 1.4 47.1 (a) Recognition and measurement Other current assets related to operational and financing costs paid in advance of the period to which the Group will receive the benefit from those goods and services.

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 2022 a total of $0.1m of onerous contracts were settled through payment, with the unwinding of the discount being $0.04m and $0.2 through consolidated statement of profit or loss for re-measurement. 72 Notes to the financial statements (CONTINUED)Stanmore | Annual Report 202217 PROVISIONS (CONT.) (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 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 there-measurement is recognised in the profit or loss. Any unwinding discounting is recognised in the profit or loss. The Group 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 2022, an increase in the provision of $190.8m was recognised as a result of the acquisition of Stanmore SMC Pty Ltd. A decrease in the rehabilitation provision of $4.5m was recognised due to the rehabilitation works completed in the period (31 December 2021: US$0.5m). The discount rate used in the calculation of the provision at 31 December 2022 equalled 3.99% (31 December 2021: 1.81%). (d) Contingent consideration (i) Recognition and measurement As part of the acquisition of the 80% interest in Stanmore SMC Pty Ltd, AASB 3 required the recognition of the additional consideration yet to the paid to the vendor. 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. As at 31 December 2022, it is managements expectation that those conditions will be met, and as such have recognised the expected discounted cashflows of the contingent consideration in full. There has been no change to the range of outcomes expected by management during the reporting period. (ii) Key judgements and estimates The valuation above was performed using a discounted cash flow methodology which was consistent with that used for previous deferred royalty streams. 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; • Coal sales since acquisition, plus expected future sales of Stanmore SMC Pty Ltd’s operating assets, including South Walker Creek and Poitrel mines. (e) Other provisions Provisions for legal claims, service warranties and make good obligation are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount can be reliably estimated. 73 Notes to the financial statements (CONTINUED)Stanmore | Annual Report 202218 PROVISION FOR EMPLOYEE BENEFITS Provision for annual leave Provision for bonus Provision for long service leave Total employee benefit obligations (a) Recognition and measurement Refer to Note 4(d)(ii) for accounting policies. 19 DIVIDENDS AND FRANKING CREDITS (a) Dividends (i) Ordinary shares Group 31 December 2022 Total $M 31 December 2021 Total $M 16.9 12.9 0.5 30.3 0.3 – 0.2 0.5 Dividends provided for or paid during the year – – (ii) Dividends not recognised at the end of the reporting period Group 31 December 2022 $M 31 December 2021 $M No dividend proposed for 31 December 2022 – – Group 31 December 2022 $M 31 December 2021 $M (b) Franking credits Franked credits Franking credits available for subsequent reporting periods based on a tax rate of 30.0% (2021 – 30.0%).

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. (e) 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 Group is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. This note describes the Group’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. Due to the recent acquisition of Stanmore SMC Pty Ltd, the Group’s exposure to financial instruments has changed compared to previous periods. As a consequence, the Group has changed its functional and presentational currency to US dollars during the period, which has partly mitigated the foreign exchange risks. The Group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, trade and other receivables, security deposits, trade and other payables, borrowings, leases, financial assets held at fair value through other comprehensive income, derivative financial instruments and contingent consideration. The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the Group’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 Group’s finance function. The Group’s risk management policies and objectives are therefore designed to minimise the potential impacts to these risks on the results of the Group where such impacts may be material. The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk where possible without unduly affecting the Group’s competitiveness and flexibility. Further details regarding these policies are set out below. 78 Notes to the financial statements (CONTINUED)Stanmore | Annual Report 202222 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONT.) (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 Group incurring a financial loss. This usually occurs when debtors fail to settle their obligations owing to the Group. The Group’s objective is to minimise the risk of loss from credit risk exposure. The Group’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 Trade and other receivables Security bonds Loans to related parties Derivative financial assets Credit risk exposure Group 31 December 2022 $M 31 December 2021 $M 432.4 333.2 19.7 – 6.5 791.8 45.6 41.5 44.2 29.0 (4.4) 155.9 Credit risk is reviewed regularly by the Board and the Audit and Risk Management Committee. The Group’s credit risk exposure is influenced by mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. Given the Group 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, Bank of China, and ANZ. The National Australia Bank has a long-term credit rating with rating agency S&P of AA-. The Bank of China has a long-term credit rating with rating agency S&P of A+. The ANZ has a long-term credit rating with rating agency S&P of AA-. (b) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group may encounter difficulties raising funds to meet financial obligations as they fall due. The objective of managing liquidity risk is to ensure that the Group 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 Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and liquidity ratios such as working capital. The Group’s working capital, being current assets less current liabilities, has marginally decreased from $(36.4)m at 31 December 2021 to $(39.8)m at 31 December 2022. The decrease is driven by one off cash payments in Q4 2022, relating to the acquisition of the additional 20% interest in Stanmore SMC, voluntary repayment of the US$120m and US$70m financing facilities (both available for redraw as at 31 December 22), and US$289m of the US$625m acquisition financing facility being classified as a current liabilities. 79 Notes to the financial statements (CONTINUED)Stanmore | Annual Report 2022(i) Maturities of financial liabilities The tables below analyse the Group’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their contractual maturities: Total financial liabilities 1,457.0 1,562.0 758.9 31 December 2022 Financial liabilities Trade payables Other payables Lease liabilities Contingent consideration Chattel mortgage Acquisition financing Insurance premium funding 31 December 2021 Financial liabilities Trade payables Other payables Lease liabilities Contingent consideration Chattel mortgage Revolving facility Insurance premium funding Carrying amount $M Contractual cash flows $M Less than 6 months $M Between 6 and 12 months $M Between 1 and 3 years $M Over 3 years $M 392.9 31.7 260.1 148.2 5.1 615.0 4.0 392.9 31.7 295.9 150.0 5.1 682.4 4.0 392.9 31.7 38.3 – 0.9 291.1 4.0 – – 38.3 – 0.9 49.5 – 88.7 – – 188.6 150.0 3.2 341.8 – – – 30.6 – – – – 683.6 30.6 Carrying amount $ ’M Contractual cash flows $ ’M Less than 6 months $ ’M Between 6 and 12 months $ ’M Between 1 and 3 years $ ’M Over 3 years $ ’M 58.3 3.6 0.5 6.3 6.6 67.6 1.1 58.3 3.6 0.5 7.7 7.2 67.6 1.1 58.3 3.6 0.1 1.5 1.0 – 1.1 – – – 0.6 1.0 67.6 – 69.2 – – 0.3 3.6 4.0 – – 7.9 – – 0.1 2.0 1.2 – – 3.3 Total financial liabilities 144.0 146.0 65.6 As disclosed in Note 14, the Acquisition Financing facility is subject to a cash sweep mechanism, increasing in times of higher cash flows. An assessment of the expected cash sweep impacts has been made as at 31 December 2022 to ensure appropriate classifications and liquidity impacts have been reflected in these financial statements. Further information regarding commitments is included in Note 25 on page 89. 80 Notes to the financial statements (CONTINUED)Stanmore | Annual Report 2022 22 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONT.) (c) Currency risk The United States dollar (US$) is the functional currency of the Group and, as a result, currency exposure arises from transactions and balances in currencies other than the US$. The Group’s potential currency exposures comprise: (i) Operational costs denominated in A$ The operations of the Group are location in Queensland, Australia, and as such a large proportion of its operational costs are incurred and paid in A$. These costs include a combination of employee expenses and contractor expenses, which also include material lease agreements recognised under AASB16. As a result the Group’s payable and lease liability provisions give rise to a foreign exchange risk for the Group. (ii) Tax liabilities Whilst the Group changed its functional and presentational currency during the period the Group is still required to prepare and submit income tax returns to the Australian Tax Office (‘ATO’) in A$, leading to a foreign exchange risk on both current and deferred tax balances as at 31 December 2022. In order to mitigate this risk, the Group has changed its functional currency with the ATO to US$, effective 1 January 2023. 81 Notes to the financial statements (CONTINUED)Stanmore | Annual Report 202222 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONT.) (iii) Rehabilitation provisions The Group expects to fulfil its rehabilitation obligations through the use of existing operational resources, as when required, which will be incurred in A$. In addition, the Group is party to the Queensland Treasury Financial Provisioning Scheme, which is a scheme denominated in A$. As a result, the Group’s rehabilitation provisions are recorded in A$, giving rise to foreign exchange risk for these significant provisions. As at 31 December 2022, the effect on profit or loss as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates would be: 31 December 2022 Cash and cash equivalents – A$ Derivative financial assets – A$ Trade payables – A$ Tax liabilities – A$ Chattel Mortgage – A$ Insurance premium funding – A$ Lease liability – A$ Rehabilitation provision – A$ Tax charge of 30% After tax increase/(decrease) Cash and cash equivalents – A$ Derivative financial liabilities – A$ Trade payables – A$ Tax liabilities – A$ Chattel Mortgage – A$ Insurance premium funding – A$ Lease liability – A$ Rehabilitation provision – A$ Tax charge of 30% After tax increase/(decrease) (d) Market risk Carrying amount $ ‘M 41.8 6.5 (392.9) (314.1) (5.1) (3.9) (260.1) (203.2) – – 8.6 (4.4) (58.3) (26.6) (6.6) (1.1) (0.5) (27.9) – – Decrease in FX rate by 5% Increase in FX rate by 5% Profit or loss $ ‘M Profit or loss $ ‘M 2.1 0.3 (20.0) (15.7) (0.3) (0.2) (13.0) (10.2) 17.1 (39.9) 0.4 (0.2) (2.9) (1.3) (0.3) – – (1.4) 1.7 (4.0) (2.1) (0.3) 20.0 15.7 0.3 0.2 13.0 10.2 (17.1) 39.9 (0.4) 0.2 2.9 1.3 0.3 – – 1.4 (1.7) 4.0 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 Group has implemented a strategy during the year to reduce its foreign currency risks noted above, notably the exposure to A$. The Group recognise any exposure on these arrangement on its balance sheet as part of its estimated fair value of its derivatives. As at 31 December 2022 the Group has recognised a derivative financial asset position of US$6.5m. 82 Notes to the financial statements (CONTINUED)Stanmore | Annual Report 202222 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONT.) (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.

(f) Fair values The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement 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). 31 December 2022 Derivative financial instruments held at fair value through profit or loss Investments at Fair Value through other comprehensive income Total financial assets Contingent consideration held at fair value through profit or loss Total financial liabilities 31 December 2022 Contingent consideration held at fair value through profit or loss Derivative financial instruments held at fair value through profit or loss Total financial liabilities Level 1 $ ‘M Level 2 $ ‘M – – – – – 6.5 – 6.5 – – Level 1 $ ‘M Level 2 $ ‘M – – – – – 4.4 Level 3 $ ‘M – 25.0 25.0 148.2 148.2 Level 3 $ ‘M 6.3 4.4 6.3 Sensitivity analysis regarding the contingent consideration liabilities has been considered by management, and it is deemed highly probably that the contingent liability will be paid in full on its due date.

The joint venture had no other contingent liabilities or commitments as at 31 December 2022 for which the Group is jointly liable. 87 Notes to the financial statements (CONTINUED)Stanmore | Annual Report 202224 INTERESTS IN JOINT ARRANGEMENTS (CONT.) (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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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. 88 Notes to the financial statements (CONTINUED)Stanmore | Annual Report 202225 COMMITMENTS (a) Exploration and mining The commitments to be undertaken are as follows: Payable Within one year Later than one year but not later than five years Group 31 December 2022 $M 31 December 2021 $M 1.1 2.0 3.1 0.2 0.6 0.8 The Group has certain obligations to spend minimum amounts on exploration and mining tenement areas.
