Okapi is a gold focused company with a clear strategy of advancing our Mambasa and Crackerjack Projects in DRC and Western Australia respectively. The Company was incorporated on 29 May 2017. Okapi subsequently completed a heavily over-subscribed IPO to raise $5 million, the success of which provided the Company with a strong platform for future growth and reflects the quality of the Mambasa and Crackerjack Projects and management. Your Board believes that advancing our present projects is only the first step in building a quality company with significant assets that will spark interest globally and provide significant shareholder value. We continue to make progress on all fronts of the development and acquisition of new mineral assets and I look forward to keeping you updated on our progress on what should be an exciting year ahead. Yours faithfully Klaus Eckhof Chairman 1 Okapi Resources Limited Operations Report CRACKERJACK GOLD PROJECT Property Description and Location The Crackerjack Gold Project consists of a single granted exploration tenement - E80/4675. It is located 85 km south west of the town of Halls Creek in the Kimberley Goldfield of Western Australia (Figure 1). The asset is held 100% by Okapi Resources Limited. Access Figure 1 Location of the Crackerjack Gold Project Access to the project area from Halls Creek is initially via the sealed Great Northern Highway approximately 50 km south west. The unsealed Old Ballara Road is then driven 40 km south through Old Lamboo Station and thence via dirt station tracks a further 8 km south to the project area, directly to the east of Willy Willy Well. The area is rugged, with ephemeral streams cutting deep into the country rock and making accessibility difficult. Monsoonal rains may cause even sealed roads to become impassable for periods of time. Access to the project area would certainly be affected by summer rains and the timing of fieldwork should take this into account. Little infrastructure exists in the area. Many ephemeral water holes exist in the region however scarcity of permanent and reliable water sources has historically been the major factor hindering development of the both mines and pastoral leases in the area. 2 Okapi Resources Limited Operations Report Geological Setting The Crackerjack Project area lies within the Mt Dockrell area of the Halls Creek Orogen, a major deformation zone comprising multiple faults bounding the eastern edge of the Kimberley Basin. The Orogen contains rocks of the Halls Creek Group of Lower Proterozoic Age and have been very intensely folded about a northeast to north-northeast axis. In the Mt Dockrell area the units are tightly folded, forming upright isoclinal to sub-isoclinal folds. Halls Creek Group units present in the Crackerjack Gold Project area include the Biscay and Olympio Formations (Figure 2). Figure 2 Local Geology of the Crackerjack tenement area The Olympio Formation is a thick succession (<4 km) of epiclastic felsic volcanic rocks showing turbiditic depositional fabrics in the lowermost portion grading to medium and coarse-grained wacke and conglomerates. Shear zones occur throughout the area, often associated with gold mineralisation. Shearing is generally trending north- northeast and sub-parallel with bedding and fold axial planes. Examples of these are shown at the Golden Hole South and Crackerjack East prospects. Occasional cross-cutting shears, most probably associated with faults, have disrupted the continuity of the lithological units (as evident in Figure 2). The intersections of these shears with mineralised horizons have resulted in foci for mineralisation such as at Crackerjack. Shale is a common host rock for gold mineralisation but deposits are also hosted by various volcanic rocks and especially Woodward Dolerite dykes and sills. Barnes (1987) and Martin (1988) have classified the units in the Crackerjack area using a simplistic nomenclature, which is presented here (from east to west):  Eastern Metasediments  Eastern Greenstones  Central Felsic Volcanics  Western Greenstones 3 Okapi Resources Limited Operations Report All of these units are separated from one another by significant faults. These faults are sometimes quartz-filled however in general, the faults are evidenced by major lithological change. The ‘Eastern Greenstones’ of Barnes and Martin correlate with the upper successions within the Biscay Formation. These contain most of the known gold occurrences and old workings in the area. Gold and Base Metal Mineralisation The primary deposits so far reported in the area are contained within the more strongly sheared and altered mafic volcanics or are hosted within, or proximal to Woodward Dolerite sills, particularly within the upper Biscay Formation/Eastern Greenstones. The hosting structures are invariably oriented to the north-northeast and dip from 70 degrees to sub-vertically, paralleling stratigraphy and fold axial planes in the area. The intersection of these structures with occasional cross-cutting shears has resulted in dilational zones and lenses enriched in mineralised fluids, thereby creating the higher-grade gold deposits. Many deposits contain a significant degree of quartz-sericite-calcite propylitisation within the alteration zones. They have also been shown to contain a high proportion of sulphides, which can form a significant base metal anomaly in themselves. Associated sulphides in order of abundance include; Arsenopyrite, Pyrite, Chalcopyrite, Galena and Sphalerite. Historic Exploration Gold was first discovered in the Kimberley region by E.T. Hardman in 1884 and shortly afterwards, payable quantities of gold were found at Halls Creek by Hall and Slattery. Gold was first found at Mt Dockrell in 1888 and since then gold has been won from both alluvial and hard rock sources. The field had very little exploration work completed on it between the late 1880’s and the 1980’s with only moderate exploration being undertaken by prospectors during the 1930’s to 1950’s. The area is renowned for its gold nuggets, with the largest being found reported at 15 ounces. To date some 61 separate gold occurrences/prospects have been located in the area and drilling has been undertaken on six of these. Refer to Figure 3 showing the known prospects within the current Crackerjack Project tenement. More recent exploration of the area was commenced in 1988 by Maldon Minerals. The company conducted geological mapping and reconnaissance RC drilling within historical tenements ML80/194 and 195. Additionally, reconnaissance drainage sampling was conducted over the surrounding tenements, monsoonal rains permitting. Maldon drilled forty RC holes for a total of 1,603 metres. The holes were positioned so as to intercept extensions of suspected mineralisation beneath some of the historic gold workings. Their exact locations were recorded only on prospect-scale sketches compiled in Maldon’s Mt Dockrell Project Annual Technical Report of 1990 (DMP WAMEX Report No. A30309) and are yet to have collar locations verified on the ground. In 2000, New Millenium Resources undertook four distinct phases of exploration within the region. These included: engagement of International Earthscan Pty Ltd to conduct a structural and mineral alteration interpretation; a detailed geological and historical evaluation research was completed of the Mt Dockrell region; geological consultants engaged by the company undertook field a field survey during November and December 1999; and lastly a local miner was engaged to mine alluvials from the tenement under tribute, however no mining was actually recorded. 4 Okapi Resources Limited Operations Report Figure 3 Crackerjack tenement area showing historical gold prospects Exploration Work Completed by Panex Resources Australia Pty Ltd (“Panex”) Panex has completed a desktop data review of previous work completed within the area and conducted an initial site visit to complete Due Diligence of the tenement prior to securing it. Field work, completed during May 2016, consisted of a six day site visit by a geologist and technical assistant. Five rock chip and grab samples were taken from quartz-rich mafic schists and quartz stockwork at the prospect to confirm the presence of gold mineralisation and quantify the grade of sulphide target minerals. Samples were taken to confirm mineralisation indicated by historical rockchip samples taken by previous tenement holders. Assay results for the 5 samples were very encouraging. Three of the samples returned significant gold assays including 15.7 g/t gold, 1.94 g/t gold and 2.67 g/t gold. One sample returned 1430 ppm copper and one sample returned 1340 ppm lead. Sample NF16CJ001 was taken from a mineralised structure approximately 3m wide with multiple parallel quartz veins of no more than 15cm individual width, so could be considered a ‘bulked-out’ sample. It returned 15.7 g/t gold and 1340 ppm lead. The structure continued for an observable strike length approaching 300 metres. 5 Okapi Resources Limited Operations Report Summary of Potential The Crackerjack Gold Project area demonstrates potential for various styles of mineralisation including;  Shear/vein-hosted Au-Pb-As-Ag- /-Cu-Zn,  Shear-hosted Cu-Au-Ag and,  Quartz-carbonate-pyrite veining as host to Pb-Zn-Cu The deformation history of the area and complex interactions between structures and lithological units would seem to constrain the size potential of mineral deposits in the region, although the lack of recent exploration does indicate considerable potential for those companies committed to discovery in the area. Based on this initial information and results obtained there exists evident potential for high grade gold mineralisation being present. Gold is the only metal likely to be found in economic grades and quantities. Specifically, areas of brittle failure within anticlinal structures and associated brittle-ductile faulting may prove to host more significant mineralisation. As a result of the narrow width and limited strike of structures as historically recorded and also observed by the Company during the recent field trip, a steady phased approach to exploration work is recommended. A program of more detailed mapping and sampling for multi-element analysis may be used to enhance geological targeting of Woodward Dolerite sills as well as structures and alteration that may indicate gold mineralisation worthy of drill testing. In particular the historic line of workings from Irish Lass (80) – Crackerjack – Crackerjack South – Erin go Bragh – The Three Sisters (Carols) appear to be located in the most well-mineralised stratigraphic horizon within the upper Biscay Formation and should form the focus of future activities. Soil or drainage sampling is expected to be of little benefit as all stream channels are anomalous in gold due to the widespread occurrence of alluvial and eluvial deposits. Current Exploration by Okapi The Company proposes the following work plan, which is currently underway:  Comprehensive desktop study to obtain any outstanding available information related to mineralisation in the tenement area.  Digitise the prospect-scale sketches of the historic workings and drill hole locations produced by Maldon Minerals to create digital records of these data. Validate these locations ‘on the ground’.  Complete structural mapping on the project and continue to examine alteration/grade relationships to improve the understanding and definition of mineralisation boundaries. Use rock chip sampling, trenching or RAB drilling as required.  Utilise multi-element geochemical techniques on bedrock samples to empirically define the proximal and distal alteration associated with known gold mineralising conduits and traps.  Use this information to generate further targets within the Project area.  RC drill test the more prospective targets to confirm indications of economic gold and/or base metal mineralisation. 6 Okapi Resources Limited Operations Report MAMBASA GOLD PROJECT Property Description and Location The Mambasa Gold Project consists of two granted licences, PE364 and PE480, located approximately 18km to the south of the town of Mambasa, in the Mambasa District of Ituri Province in the north-eastern DRC (Figures 4 and 5). Several areas of historic and current artisanal workings are present on the licences, including the abandoned colonial Prince Leopold Gold Mine. Most of these workings cluster around the more easily accessed areas close to the historic workings and along streams and rivers. Figure 4 Location of the Mambasa Gold Project in Ituri Province, DRC (Figure 5 area in red) 7 Okapi Resources Limited Operations Report Figure 5 Mambasa Gold Project licences relative to neighbouring licences Okapi has the right to earn a 70% majority interest in the Mambasa project through certain cash payments and expenditure on the licences. Accessibility, Climate and Infrastructure A tarmac airstrip is maintained close to the town of Bunia, principally to service regional flights within the DRC. Access from Bunia to the Project area is via the sealed, all-weather regional road west for some 150 km to Mambasa village. Vehicular access is then via a poorly-maintained gravel road south east for a distance of 19.5 km to the Pede track turn- off and thence a further 10 km south-west to the regional village of Pede. The Project licences are then accessed using a walking track from the village of Pede. The centre of licence PE364 is approximately 5 km along the track and PE480 11.5 km along the track. Further access within the licence areas is by a network of pedestrian trails. Local infrastructure is typical of remote rural Africa, with poorly maintained unsealed roads and few public manufacturing or engineering services available. An intermittent power supply is provided by a local grid system, established and managed by the power generation arm of Sokimo from local hydroelectric dams. Geological Setting and Mineralisation Archaean gneisses and granite-greenstone terrains cover much of northeast DRC and extend into the Central African Republic (“CAR”), western Uganda and southern Sudan (Figure 6). Old basement gneisses, dated at about 3.5 Ga, are known as the Bomu (amphibolite-pyroxene gneisses and granites) and West Nile Complexes. Scattered greenstone belts known as the Ganguan and Kibalian Greenstone Belts have been dated at older than 2.9 Ga and 2.81 Ga respectively. 8 Okapi Resources Limited Operations Report Figure 6 Regional map of Greenstone belts showing major project location The Mambasa Gold Project area is located within the Archaean Kibalian-Uele granitoid-greenstone belt of the Northeast Congo Craton (NECC) and encompasses almost the entire Mambasa belt, one of the nine gold-bearing greenstone belts in the region. The Kibalian granitoid-greenstone terrane consists of 15% greenstones, with the Mambasa Greenstone Belt representing the most extensively preserved greenstones, and 85% granitoids, including tonalities, diorites and granodiorites (Cahen, et al., 1984). An older generation of mafic-ultramafic greenstones is intruded by ~2.9 to 2.8 Ga tonalities, while a younger generation of greenstones, the Kibalian greenstones, with mafic-intermediate volcanic, sediments and banded iron formation is intruded by ~2.5 to 2.4 Ga granites. The Mambasa Greenstone Belt is geologically similar to Geita Greenstone Belt of northern Tanzania and the Ngayu Greenstone Belt, with gold deposits spatially related to banded ironstone formations. Tropical weathering has reduced the near surface rock to an unrecognizable saprolite beneath approximately one metre of organic soil, gravel, and local laterite. Underlying the saprolite is a transition zone of easily recognizable, but highly oxidized rock to depths that vary from 20 m to 80 m, typically 50 m, with the larger depths found in areas of positive topography. The Belgian colonialists discovered high grade quartz veins, stockworks and disseminated gold in the Mambasa area. In general gold mineralization is associated with steeply dipping quartz veins and stockworks and as disseminations in banded ironstone formations within both PE364 and PE480. Within PE364, there is intense small-scale mining activity in the location of what is believed to be the historical Belgian Mine. A relatively new artisanal site in northern part of the Mambasa belt within PE364 is a mineralised zone of 600+ metre strike length being exploited by artisanal miners to a maximum depth of 25 metres on a series of sub vertical quartz veins in a hydrothermally altered BIF in a 15-20 metre thick geological sequence. If the initial conceptual model proposed for the Mambasa Project is aligned with the geological interpretation and current understanding of the work completed by Kilo Goldmines within the Ngayu greenstone belt, there exists potential for gold mineralisation of significance within the project area. 9 Okapi Resources Limited Operations Report Mineralisation In accordance with other gold mines in similar regional geological settings, the style of mineralisation being targeted in the Mambasa Gold Project are associated with epigenetic mesothermal style mineralisation. This style of mineralization is typical of gold deposits in Archaean and Proterozoic greenstone terranes and is generally associated with regionally metamorphosed rocks that have experienced a long history of thermal and deformational events. These deposits are invariably structurally controlled and mineralisation is commonly the fracture and vein type in brittle fracture to ductile dislocation zones. Deposit Type and Target Model Gold within the Kilo-Moto Belt is associated with epigenetic mesothermal style mineralisation, consistent with the majority of Archaean and Proterozoic greenstone terranes worldwide, including the Birimian Supergroup of West Africa, the Yilgarn Block in Western Australia, the Lake Victoria District in Tanzania and the Abitibi Greenstone Belt in Canada. This style of mineralisation is generally associated with regionally metamorphosed terrains that have experienced a long history of thermal and deformational events. As such, these gold deposits are invariably structurally controlled. The most common style of mineralisation in this setting is fracture- and vein-type gold mineralisation in zones of brittle fracture to ductile dislocation. Deposits of this type are best developed in the Kilo sector of the Kilo-Moto district where AngloGold Ashanti Ltd explored for ‘mylonite’- hosted vein-style mineralisation until 2014. In the Moto district gold mineralisation has a different form and style. The major deposits in this district are of the disseminated style hosted within a sequence of coarse volcaniclastic and sedimentary rocks. Quartz and quartz-carbonate veins are present within the ore zones but are found to be generally barren. Summary of Potential The Mambasa Gold Project is located within the Mambasa Greenstone Belt, Ituri District of the Kilo-Moto Goldfields, a highly prospective regional scale series of greenstone belts hosting numerous small-scale artisanal workings exploiting gold occurrences as well as world class deposits such as the 20 Moz Kibali Gold Project. The Project can be classified as ‘greenfields’, centred on an historical high grade gold mining area exploited by artisan miners. There is little information available on previous exploration and exploitation activities, with the exception of reference to limited Belgian Congo government reports and historic maps. Based on the age of the host rocks, the structural and tectonic setting of the region, the alteration and deformation styles observed in the field, and the association of gold and mineralization with quartz veins and fault zones, the style of mineralisation interpreted to occur within the Mambasa licences is orogenic vein hosted and mesothermal disseminated gold. The Company considers the potential for the Mambasa Gold Project to host significant economic gold mineralisation as favourable and further work is warranted. 10 Okapi Resources Limited Directors’ Report For the period ended 30 June 2017 The directors of Okapi Resources Limited (the “Company”) submit herewith the financial report for the period from 29 May 2017 (date of incorporation) to 30 June 2017, and the auditor’s report thereon.

The Company's primary aim in the near-term is to explore for, discover and develop gold deposits on the mineral exploration projects within Australia and the Democratic Republic of Congo (“DRC”) it has acquired subsequent to the reporting date. The Projects are prospective for gold and/or base metals. They range from early-stage exploration over areas that have not been subject to significant exploration such as the Crackerjack Project, Australia, to more advanced exploration in areas that have recorded historical mining activity and current artisanal activity at the Mambasa Project, DRC. Also refer to the Subsequent Event commentary on page 8 of this Directors’ Report. The Company will also be actively reviewing additional projects that would create wealth for the company and its shareholders. FINANCIAL REVIEW The result of the Company for the financial period ended 30 June 2017 was a loss after tax of $27,462. EARNINGS PER SHARE The basic loss per share for the period ended 30 June 2017 was 0.8 cents. 12 Okapi Resources Limited Directors’ Report For the period ended 30 June 2017 Audited Remuneration Report This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for all key management personnel of Okapi Resources Limited and its subsidiaries. The information provided in this remuneration report has been audited as required by section 308(C) of the Corporations Act 2001. For the purposes of this report, key management personnel of the Company are defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Company and the Company, directly or indirectly, including any Director (whether executive or otherwise) of the Company. The individuals included in this report are: Klaus Eckhof Nigel Ferguson Leonard Math Craig Nelmes Non-Executive Chairman Managing Director Non-Executive Director CFO/Company Secretary Appointment date: 29 May 2017 29 May 2017 29 May 2017 29 May 2017 (a) Remuneration Policy The remuneration policy of Okapi Resources Limited has been designed to align director objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component which is assessed on an annual basis in line with market rates. By providing components of remuneration that are indirectly linked to share price appreciation (in the form of options and/or performance rights), executive, business and shareholder objectives are aligned. The board of Okapi Resources Limited believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best directors to run and manage the company, as well as create goal congruence between directors and shareholders. The board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for board members is as follows: (i) Executive Directors & Other Key Management Personnel The remuneration policy and the relevant terms and conditions has been developed by the full Board of Directors as the company does not have a Remuneration Committee due to the size of the Company and the Board. In determining competitive remuneration rates, the Board reviews local and international trends among comparative companies and industry generally. It examines terms and conditions for employee incentive schemes, benefit plans and share plans. Reviews are performed to confirm that executive remuneration is in line with market practice and is reasonable in the context of Australian executive reward practices. The Company is an exploration entity, and therefore speculative in terms of performance. Consistent with attracting and retaining talented executives, directors and senior executives are paid market rates associated with individuals in similar positions, within the same industry. Mr. Ferguson was appointed Managing Director on 29 May 2017 and receives an annual remuneration package of $167,250 through an Executive Services Agreement. Mr Ferguson provides his services as Managing Director through Ridgeback Holdings Pty Ltd as trustee for the Ferguson Family Trust. Mr Ferguson’s employment may be terminated by the Company giving 6 months’ notice. The Company may otherwise terminate his employment immediately for cause. There are no other service or consulting agreements in place with key management personnel. At this stage due to the size of the Company, no remuneration consultants have been used. The Board’s remuneration policies are outlined below: Fixed Remuneration All executives receive a base cash salary which is based on factors such as length of service and experience as well as other fringe benefits. If entitled, all executives also receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which is currently 9.50% and do not receive any other retirement benefits. 13 Okapi Resources Limited Directors’ Report For the period ended 30 June 2017 Short-term Incentives (STI) Under the Company’s current remuneration policy, executives can from time to time receive short-term incentives in the form of cash bonuses. No short term incentives were paid in the current financial year. The Board is currently determining the criteria of eligibility for short-term incentives and will set key performance indicators to appropriately align shareholder wealth and executive remuneration. Long-term Incentives (LTI) Executives are encouraged by the Board to hold shares in the company and it is therefore the Company’s objective to provide incentives for participants to partake in the future growth of the Company and, upon becoming shareholders in the Company, to participate in the Company’s profits and dividends that may be realised in future years. The Board considers that this equity performance linked remuneration structure is effective in aligning the long-term interests of Company executives and shareholders as there exists a direct correlation between shareholder wealth and executive remuneration. (ii) Non-Executive Directors The board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. In determining competitive remuneration rates, the Board review local and international trends among comparative companies and the industry generally. Typically, the Company will compare non-executive remuneration to companies with similar market capitalisations in the exploration and resource development sector. (b) Company Performance, Shareholder Wealth and Directors’ and Executives’ Remuneration No relationship exists between the Company performance, earnings, shareholder wealth and Directors’ and Executive remuneration for this financial period. With the exception of the Managing Director, no executive is receiving any base remuneration. No remuneration is currently performance related.

The Board guides and monitors the business and affairs of Okapi on behalf of the shareholders by whom they are elected and to whom they are accountable. The Company’s governance approach aims to achieve exploration, development and financial success while meeting stakeholders’ expectations of sound corporate governance practices by proactively determining and adopting the most appropriate corporate governance arrangements. ASX Listing Rule 4.10.3 requires listed companies to disclose in their Annual Report the extent to which the Company will follow the recommendations set by the ASX Corporate Governance Council in its publication Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (3rd edition) (ASX Recommendations). The Corporate Governance Statement is current as at 30 June 2017, and has been approved by the Board of Directors. The Recommendations are not mandatory, however the Recommendations that will not be followed have been identified and reasons provided for not following them along with what (if any) alternative governance practices the Company intends to adopt in lieu of the recommendation. The Company has adopted the following Corporate Governance Poliies lan which provides the written terms of reference for the Company’s corporate governance duties. Due to the current size and nature of the existing Board and the magnitude of the Company’s operations, the Board does not consider that the Company will gain any benefit from individual Board committees and that its resources would be better utilised in other areas as the Board is of the strong view that at this stage the experience and skill set of the current Board is sufficient to perform these roles. The Company has established the following Charter and Corporate Governance Policies, and which are available on the Company’s website at www.okapiresources.com ASX Principal and Recommendation Compliance yes/no Explanation Principle 1: Lay solid foundations for management and oversight Recommendation 1.1 A listed entity should disclose: (a) the respective roles and responsibilities of its board and management; and (b) those matters expressly reserved to the board and those delegated to management.

The Company will conduct background checks of candidates for new Director positions prior to their appointment or nomination for election by Shareholders, including checks as to good character, experience, education, qualifications, criminal history and bankruptcy. The Company does not propose to conduct specific checks prior to nominating an existing Director for re-election by Shareholders at a general meeting. The Company will include in its notices of meeting a brief biography of each Director who stands for election or re-election. Under the Charter, the Company Secretary reports directly, and is accountable, to the Board through the Chairman in relation to all governance matters. 18 ASX Principal and Recommendation Recommendation 1.5 A listed entity should: (a) have a diversity policy which includes requirements for the board to set measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity and to assess annually both the objectives and the entity's progress in achieving them; (b) disclose that policy or a summary of it; and (c) disclose as at the end of each reporting period the measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity set by the board Recommendation 1.6 A listed entity should: (a) have and disclose a process for periodically evaluating the performance of the board, its committees and individual directors; and (b) disclose, in relation to each reporting period, whether a performance evaluation was undertaken in the reporting period in accordance with that process.

Yes Yes No No Yes Recommendation 2.4 A majority of the board of a listed entity should be independent directors. No Okapi Resources Limited Corporate Governance Statement For the period ended 30 June 2017 Compliance yes/no No Explanation The Company has not adopted a Diversity Policy. The Board considers that a diversity policy is not necessary given the current size and scope of the Company's operations. The Company has adopted in its Board Charter a process for evaluation of the Board, its committees and individual Directors. This process is conducted by the Board. The Board also performs a commentary function under the Nomination and Remuneration Policy. The Company will disclose if a performance evaluation has been conducted. The Company has in place a formal process for evaluation of its key executives. The Nomination and Remuneration Policy provides that the Board will undertake performance evaluation of the Directors and senior management on at least an annual basis Performance of Directors and senior management is assessed against performance criteria set by the Board. The Company does not have a nomination committee at this stage. The Board considers that, given the current size and scope of the Company's operations, efficiencies or other benefits would not be gained by establishing a separate nomination committee. The Company does not currently have a skills or diversity matrix in relation to the Board members. The Board considers that such a matrix is not necessary given the current size and scope of the Company's operations. Disclosure of the names of Directors considered by the Board to be independent will be provided in the Company's annual reports. At the Prospectus Date, Leonard Math is considered to be independent for the purposes of ASX Recommendation 2.3.

Reference source not found.. The length of service of each Director will be provided in the annual report for each financial year. . The Board is not comprised of a majority of independent Directors. There is currently one Director who satisfies the criteria for independence for the purposes of ASX Recommendation 2.3, being 19 Okapi Resources Limited Corporate Governance Statement For the period ended 30 June 2017 ASX Principal and Recommendation Compliance yes/no Explanation Recommendation 2.5 The chair of the board of a listed entity should be an independent director and, in particular, should not be the same person as the CEO of the entity. Yes Recommendation 2.6 A listed entity should have a program for inducting new directors and provide appropriate professional development opportunities for directors to develop and maintain the skills and knowledge needed to perform their role as directors effectively. Principal 3: Act ethically and responsibly Recommendation 3.1 A listed entity should: (a) executives and employees; and (b) have a code of conduct for its directors, senior disclose that code or a summary of it. No Yes No Principal 4: Safeguard integrity in corporate reporting Recommendation 4.1 The board of a listed entity should: (a) have an audit committee which: (1) has at least three members, all of whom are nonexecutive directors and a majority of whom are independent directors; and (2) is chaired by an independent director, who is not the chair of the board; or (b) if it does not have an audit committee, disclose that fact and the processes it employs that independently verify and safeguard the integrity of its corporate reporting, including Leonard Math. However, given the size and scope of the Company's operations, the Board considers that it has relevant experience in the mining and exploration sector (particularly in relation to gold mining and exploration) and is appropriately structured The Board intends to appoint further independent Non-Executive Directors as the size and scale of the Company's operations warrant. The Chairman of the Board (Klaus Eckhof) is considered not to be an independent Director for the purposes of ASX Recommendation 2.3 as he is a substantial shareholder in the Company, but he does not perform the role of chief executive officer. The Managing Director (Nigel Ferguson) performs the role of chief executive officer. The Company does not currently have a formal induction program for new Directors nor does it have a formal professional development program for existing Directors. The Board does not consider that a formal induction program is necessary given the current size and scope of the Company's operations. The Board believes that the success of the Company will be enhanced by a strong ethical culture within the organisation. Accordingly, the Company has established a Code of Conduct which sets out the standards with which the directors, officers, managers, employees and consultants of the Company (and any future subsidiaries) are expected to comply in relation to the affairs of the Company's business and when dealing with each other, Shareholders and the broader community. The Code also outlines the procedure for reporting any breaches of the Code and the possible disciplinary action the Company may take in respect of any breaches. In addition to their obligations under the Corporations Act in relation to inside information, all Directors, employees and consultants have a duty of confidentiality to the Company in relation to confidential information they possess. The Company has not established a separate audit committee. Under the Charter, the role of the audit committee is undertaken by the full Board. The Board considers that, given its current size and that only one Director holds an executive position in the Company, efficiencies or other benefits would not be gained by establishing a separate audit committee. As the Company's operations grow, the Board will reconsider forming a separate audit committee. The audit functions of the Board are set out in the Charter which is available on the Company's website. 20 Okapi Resources Limited Corporate Governance Statement For the period ended 30 June 2017 ASX Principal and Recommendation Compliance yes/no Explanation the processes for the appointment and removal of the external auditor and the rotation of the audit engagement partner.

The Board is responsible for supervising management's framework of control and accountability systems to enable risk to be assessed and managed in accordance with the Company's Risk Management Policy. The Board considers that, given the current size and scope of the Company's operations and that only one Director holds an executive position in the Company, efficiencies or other benefits would not be gained by establishing a separate risk management committee.At a later date the Board will consider forming a separate risk management committee. However, the Company has adopted a Risk Management Policy to provide a framework for identifying, assessing, monitoring and managing risk. The Board has responsibility for the monitoring of risk management and will review the Company's risk management framework on an annual basis to ensure the Company's risk management framework continues to be effective.

This function is undertaken by relevant staff under the direction of the full Board. The Company has adopted internal control procedures pursuant to its Risk Management Policy. The Board considers that an internal audit function is not currently necessary given the current size and scope of the Company's operations. At a later date, the Board will consider adopting an internal audit function. The Company's primary activity is mineral exploration and development with a focus on gold. These activities do not expose the Company to any particular economic, environmental or social sustainability risks not faced by all other participants in mineral exploration in Western Australia or the DRC.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) General information Okapi Resources Limited Notes to the Financial Statements For the period ended 30 June 2017 The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for Okapi Resources Limited. The financial statements are presented in the Australian currency. Okapi Resources Limited is a company limited by shares, domiciled and incorporated in Australia. The financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 30 September 2017. The directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements. (b) Basis of preparation These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. Okapi Resources Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements. Historical cost convention These financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis under the historical cost convention. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted. Adoption of new and revised standards In the period ended 30 June 2017, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Company’s operations and effective for the current annual reporting period. It has been determined by the Directors that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Company’s business and, therefore, no change is necessary to Company accounting policies. The Directors have also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the period ended 30 June 2017. As a result of this review the Directors have determined that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Company. (c) Income tax The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the Company’s subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. 29 Okapi Resources Limited Notes to the Financial Statements For the period ended 30 June 2017 Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities 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. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. (d) Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure Exploration and evaluation expenditures in relation to each separate area of interest are recognised as an exploration and evaluation asset in the year in which they are incurred where the following conditions are satisfied: (i) (ii) the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and at least one of the following conditions is also met: (a) the exploration and evaluation expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploration of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; or (b) exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not at the reporting date reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing. Exploration and evaluation assets are initially measured at cost and include acquisition of rights to explore, studies, exploratory drilling, trenching and sampling and associated activities and an allocation of depreciation and amortisation of assets used in exploration and evaluation activities. General and administrative costs are only included in the measurement of exploration and evaluation costs where they are related directly to operational activities in a particular area of interest. Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the exploration and evaluation asset (for the cash generating unit(s) to which it has been allocated being no larger than the relevant area of interest) is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in previous years. (e) Revenue Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. (f) Cash and cash equivalents Cash reserves in the statement of financial position comprise cash on hand. (g) Trade and other receivables Receivables are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less a provision for any uncollectible debts. An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written- off as incurred. 30 Okapi Resources Limited Notes to the Financial Statements For the period ended 30 June 2017 (h) Goods and services tax (GST) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the net asset or part of the expense. Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the balance sheet. Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows. (i) Trade and other payables Trade and other payables are carried at cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Company becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. (j) Contributed equity Ordinary shares and options are classified as contributed equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. 31 Okapi Resources Limited Notes to the Financial Statements For the period ended 30 June 2017 2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company. Risk management is carried out by the full Board of Directors as the Company believes that it is crucial for all Board members to be involved in this process. The Board, with the assistance of senior management as required, has responsibility for identifying, assessing, treating and monitoring risks and reporting to the Board on risk management. (a) Market risk (i) Foreign exchange risk The Company has minimal operations internationally and there are currently limited exposures to foreign exchange risk arising from currency exposures. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency and net investments in foreign operations. The Company has not formalised a foreign currency risk management policy, however it monitors its foreign currency expenditure in light of exchange rate movements. (ii) Price risk Given the current level of operations, the Company is not exposed to price risk. (iii) Interest rate risk The Company is exposed to movements in market interest rates on cash and cash equivalents. For the period ended 30 June 2017, an aggregate of $61 interest was earned and does not warrant any sensitivity analysis based upon the insignificance of this value. (b) Credit risk The maximum exposure to credit risk at reporting date is the carrying amount (net of provision for impairment) of those assets as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements. The only significant concentration of credit risk for the Company is the cash and cash equivalents held with financial institutions. All bank deposits are held with the major Australian banks for which the Board evaluate credit risk to be minimal. As the Company does not presently have any trade debtors, lending, significant stock levels or any other credit risk, a formal credit risk management policy is not maintained. (c) Liquidity risk The Company manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and ensuring sufficient cash and marketable securities are available to meet the current and future commitments of the Company. Due to the nature of the Company’s activities, being mineral exploration, the Company does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. The Board of Directors constantly monitor the state of equity markets in conjunction with the Company’s current and future funding requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required. The financial liabilities of the Company are confined to trade and other payables as disclosed in the Statement of financial position. All trade and other payables are non-interest bearing and due within 12 months of the reporting date. (d) Fair value estimation The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. All financial assets and financial liabilities of the Company at the balance date are recorded at amounts approximating their carrying amount. The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. 32 Okapi Resources Limited Notes to the Financial Statements For the period ended 30 June 2017 3.

ISSUED CAPITAL (Continued) (d) Capital risk management The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they may continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. Due to the nature of the Company’s activities, being mineral exploration, the Company does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. Therefore, the focus of the Company’s capital risk management is the current working capital position against the requirements of the Company to meet exploration programmes and corporate overheads.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Company is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: i) giving a true and fair view of the Company’s financial position as at 30 June 2017 and of its financial performance for the period then ended; and ii) comply with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. Basis for Opinion We have conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. the Company independent of We are the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our ethical requirements in accordance with the Code. in accordance with We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the date of this auditor’s report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 4 0 Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined the matters described below to be key audit matters to be communicated in our report. How our audit addressed the key audit matter the We have IPO, reviewed company resolutions and material agreements and determined that the information disclosed as events occurring after the reporting date is accurate and complete. Key Audit Matter Events Occurred Subsequent to the Reporting Date (refer note17) The company was incorporated on 29 May 2017 and issued an Initial Prospectus Offer (IPO) on 28 June 2017 to raise capital. The company raised the funds subsequent to year end and therefore all matters relating to the IPO, material agreements that would have come into effect and share allotments would have to be accurately disclosed in the financial report. Other information The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Directors’ Report for the period ended 30 June 2017, but does not include the financial report and the auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of the other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 41 In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial report. As part of an audit in accordance with the Australia Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:  Identify and assess risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.  Obtain and understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.  Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.  Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. 42  Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Company audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. regarding the We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh public interest benefits of such communication. Report on the Remuneration Report Opinion on the Remuneration Report We have audited the Remuneration Report included on pages 5 to 7 of the directors’ report for the period ended 30 June 2017. In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Okapi Resource Limited, for the period ended 30 June 2017, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Responsibilities The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
