OKLO RESOURCES LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES | ANNUAL REPORT 2019
Chairman’s
Letter
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
AS YOUR RECENTLY APPOINTED CHAIRMAN, IT GIVES ME GREAT PLEASURE TO PRESENT OKLO
RESOURCES LIMITED’S 2019 ANNUAL REPORT. THE PAST YEAR HAS SEEN YOUR COMPANY
CONTINUE TO AGGRESSIVELY EXPLORE ITS STRATEGICALLY LOCATED LANDHOLDING IN
WEST MALI AND MAKE GREAT STRIDES TOWARDS ACHIEVING ITS CORPORATE OBJECTIVE OF
DISCOVERING THE NEXT MAJOR GOLD DEPOSIT IN WEST AFRICA.
Ongoing work at Seko within the Dandoko Project
assisted us in developing a better understanding of
the gold mineralisation and structural controls of this
extensive gold system. Results to date have returned
excellent widths and grades of gold mineralisation
mostly from surface which is highly favourable for
potential extraction by open cut mining. There is
significant upside from continued drilling as the project
is still at an early stage within the context of a discovery
with over 80% of drilling testing less than 100 metres
deep and only 2% of holes having tested below 200
metres.
Importantly we also started unlocking the potential of
the 12km-long Dandoko gold corridor, with new bedrock
gold discoveries already confirmed at the nearby Sory
and Dabia targets which will be followed up with further
drilling in the oncoming field season beginning in
October 2019.
During the past year, work to earn our interest at the
Kouroufing Project located to the east of Dandoko
successfully identified a 6km-long gold auger
geochemical anomaly. Follow-up drilling along this
gold corridor intersected significant bedrock gold
mineralisation, confirming our second gold discovery
in the past 24 months and bolstering your Company’s
exploration pipeline.
Oklo continued to grow its land position adjoining
Kouroufing following the acquisition of the largely
unexplored but highly prospective Kossaya and
Sari Projects. Through exploration programs on all
three of these projects we have met our expenditure
4
commitments and subsequently announced to the
market that your Company has exercised its option to
acquire 100% of each project.
Oklo anticipates the grant of the License over the highly
prospective but underexplored Kandiole Project located
less than 10 kilometres from B2Gold’s Fekola mine
(7.1Moz) and IAMGold’s advanced Boto resource (2.6Moz).
We continue to review other acquisition opportunities as
they are presented.
I would like to thank my fellow Board members and
management as well as our in-country team for their
ongoing efforts and positive outcomes during the past
year. Oklo’s exemplary corporate and technical track
record to date has largely been achieved under the
leadership of Simon Taylor (Managing Director) working
collaboratively with Oklo’s in-country team, headed by
Dr Madani Diallo (Executive Director) and Mr Andrew
Boyd (General Manager Exploration).
Finally, thank you for your continuing support and we
look forward to updating you on our progress during
the forthcoming field season as we move forward in
our quest to delivering a JORC resource centred around
Seko early in 2020.
Yours sincerely,
Mark Connelly

prospective Proterozoic Birimian greenstone belts to
approximately 1,400km2, with approximately 500km2
now held in west Mali following exercise of the options
to acquire a 100% interest in the Kouroufing, Kossaya
and Sari Projects.
During July 2018, the Company completed its 2018
field season, comprising mostly of shallow aircore (AC),
deeper reverse circulation (RC) and diamond drilling
its 2019 field season with a fully funded $5 million
drilling program. The 35,000m program (subsequently
expanded to 42,500m), consisting of DD, RC and AC
drilling, was focused on advancing the Seko gold
discovery along with the ongoing evaluation of the
Dandoko gold corridor and Kouroufing Project. A
further 25,000m of low-cost, reconnaissance auger
drilling was allocated towards the first-pass assessment
of new regional target areas.

In late 2016, Oklo initiated a reconnaissance auger geochemistry program over the Dandoko and Moussala
Projects to explore for new targets concealed under the extensive tracts of lateritic and transported cover. The
program delivered early success with the delineation of the 12km-long Dandoko gold corridor hosting the Seko
and more recent Sory and Dabia bedrock gold discoveries (Figure 2b). Other targets along the corridor remain
largely untested.
By conclusion of the 2018 field season, the multi-faceted drilling programs completed at Seko successfully
confirmed the presence of significant gold mineralisation within the primary zone (fresh rock) along with
extensions to the oxide gold mineralisation previously encountered in AC drilling to vertical depths of circa 80m
and deeper RC and diamond core DD drilling to vertical depths of between 180m and 200m at Seko Anomaly
2 (SK2) and Seko Anomaly 3 (SK3). Initial testing over other regional targets along the Dandoko gold corridor
resulted in the Sory and Dabia discoveries.

The SK2 anomaly extends over 1km, with widespread bedrock gold mineralisation intersected at depth from previous
shallow AC and limited RC and DD drilling (Figure 3A and 3B). Deeper drilling to date has been focused on the central
400m-long portion of the anomaly to improve the geological understanding of the previously reported high-grade gold
mineralisation. This drilling has successfully confirmed a coherent, steep south-easterly plunging, high-grade shoot over
a strike length of 80m, extending from surface to a vertical depth of 195m and remains open down-plunge. The gold
mineralisation is associated with a broad albite-carbonate-pyrite alteration zone and a turbiditic unit within a carbonate
and greywacke sequence similar to SK3 to the immediate west.
Highlights from the work completed during the reporting year included:
• Exceptional widths of high-grade gold mineralisation from a metallurgical DD hole:
-
-
7m at 16.24g/t gold from 0m; including 2m at 46.75g/t gold from 4m; and
49m at 12.83g/t gold from 16m; including 10m at 23.82g/t gold from 25m and 9m at 11.51g/t gold
from 43m.
• Discovery of a new gold zone by AC drilling 400m to the north of SK2:
-
11m at 1.79g/t gold from 31m (hole ending in mineralisation); including 2m at 5.01g/t gold from 39m.
Assay results received post year-end from 2 RC holes confirmed the new gold zone. Both holes intersected a significant
zone of altered breccia with sulphide mineralisation hosting gold mineralisation grading up to 4.61g/t gold over 1m
along with wider zones of anomalous gold mineralisation (up to 17m at 0.80g/t gold).
A summary of selected significant intersections reported during the year from SK2 is provided in Table 2.
SK3
The SK3 anomaly extends over 1.2km, with drilling to date confirming a continuous west-dipping gold mineralised zone
extending over 600m from surface to a vertical depth of 245m.
Deeper RC and DD drilling completed during the year was focused on the northern portion of SK3, testing for depth
extensions to the previously reported shallow oxide gold mineralisation. Numerous +20m wide intersections were
returned within the main SK3 trend including:
•
a significant new intersection on the most northern line of drilling, offset 100m to the east of the main
trend:
- 20m at 3.03g/t gold from 209m; including 3m at 10.24g/t gold from 226m with the hole ending in
mineralisation at 229m.
The gold mineralisation, which is associated with a broad albite-carbonate-pyrite alteration zone and the presence of a
turbiditic unit within a carbonate and greywacke sequence, remains open along strike.
Ongoing AC drilling post year-end successfully intersected further gold mineralisation on the eastern side of SK3,
including a best intersection of 10m at 1.37g/t gold, including 2m at 4.47g/t gold. A further 2 RC holes drilled in the north
of SK3 encountered several narrow zones of gold mineralisation, including a best intersection of 1m at 16.40g/t gold.
A summary of selected significant intersections reported during the year from SK3 is provided in Table 2.

OKLO RESOURCES LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES | ANNUAL REPORT 2019
SK1
A series of AC traverses completed post year-end returned
encountered lower grade zones of gold mineralisation,
significant results to the west, south and east of SK1. To
the immediate west, 4m at 14.12g/t gold (including 2m at
27.40g/t gold) was intersected related to a potential blind
zone of gold mineralisation that was undetected in earlier
auger geochemical drilling. To the immediate south and
southwest of SK1, the AC holes returned several medium
to high-grade intersections, including 2m at 9.15g/t gold,
4m at 2.01g/t gold and 2m at 2.93g/t gold, warranting
further investigation.
A further a step-out AC traverse located 600m south and
along strike from SK1 intersected a 16m zone of low-grade
gold mineralisation (averaging 0.82g/t gold) that included
4m at 1.38g/t gold. This intersection may be related to
a potential linking structure between SK1 and the Sory
prospect, located some 1.2km to the south.
An additional RC hole completed on the eastern side
of SK1 intersected multiple zones of significant gold
mineralisation, including 10m at 2.33g/t gold, 2m
at 7.13g/t gold and 3m at 2.30g/t gold before being
abandoned short of the target depth. A re-drill of this hole
including 9m at 2.73 g/t gold in the RC pre-collar, and
sheared, chloritised sediments hosting minor pyrite
mineralisation without any significant associated gold
mineralisation in the DD tail.
The most recent drill results from SK1, SK2 and SK3
have demonstrated that excellent potential remains to
significantly grow the extent of Seko which will form the
basis of follow-up drilling during the forthcoming field
season.
Metallurgical Testwork
A total of 86 samples (20 oxide and 66 primary) collected
from RC and DD holes at SK1-3 were submitted for 24-
hour bottle roll cyanide leach analysis. Bottle roll cyanide
leach analysis provides a preliminary indication on the
recovery characteristics of the gold mineralisation.
The results from the bottle roll cyanide leach analysis were
highly encouraging. The primary zone samples averaged
94% recovery and the oxide samples 98% recovery when
compared to the original fire assay results.

The initial AC results from both Dabia and Sory were
considered highly encouraging with both prospects
representing high priority targets for further bedrock
gold discoveries along the lightly explored Dandoko gold
corridor.
Drilling was ongoing within the gold corridor at year-end
with assay results pending from the Selingouma prospect,
located 10km to the south of Seko, and from the Lomona
prospect, located 3km northeast of Seko (Figure 2b).

OKLO RESOURCES LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES | ANNUAL REPORT 2019
KOUROUFING PROJECT
THE KOUROUFING PROJECT COVERS AN AREA OF 90.7KM2 WITHIN THE KENIEBA INLIER TO THE
EAST OF THE REGIONALLY SIGNIFICANT SMSZ OVER A TRACT OF UNEXPLORED PROTEROZOIC
BIRIMIAN GREENSTONES WITH IDENTIFIED NORTHEAST-TRENDING STRUCTURES IN A
COMPARABLE GEOLOGICAL SETTING TO THE 12KM-LONG GOLD CORRIDOR AT THE COMPANY’S
NEARBY DANDOKO PROJECT (FIGURE 1).
During the reporting year, Oklo announced that first-pass reconnaissance auger geochemical drilling covering 25%
of the project area had outlined a 6km-long gold corridor with composite grades of up to 14.40g/t gold and best
composite drill intersections of 8m at 14.35g/t gold, 5m at 2.18g/t gold and 15m at 1.25g/t gold (Figure 5). In October
2018, Oklo exercised its option to acquire 100% ownership of the Kouroufing Project.
Ongoing auger drilling covering the remainder of the Project area, including potential northern extensions of the
gold corridor into the Company’s adjoining Kossaya Project (Figure 1), was completed in early 2019. Assay results from
this program outlined a series of northeast gold trends in the south of the Project. In aggregate, these new results
defined a further 5.5km of gold anomalism in multiple trends with significant composite grades including: 6m at
6.97g/t gold, 6m at 1.12g/t gold, 11m at 1.09g/t gold, 4m at 1.09g/t gold and 4m at 3.59g/t gold (Figure 5).
The auger drilling was also successful in outlining the prominent Kome gold target in the southeast of the Project,
with peak composite grades of 6.32g/t gold, 3.32g/t gold and 1.20g/t gold (Figure 5).
A total of 13 AC drill traverses (203 holes) were completed over the main Kouroufing gold corridor (Central target) in
early 2019.
The 8 AC traverses covering a 1.5km strike length within the southern portion of the Central target returned 3 broad
(up to 40m down hole) intersections of over 1g/t gold, comprising 34m at 1.12g/t gold, 40m at 1.02g/t gold and 34m at
1.06g/t gold, including 2m at 7.31g/t gold. Higher grade intersections returned were 8m at 10.58g/t gold, including 2m
at 39.7g/t gold.
A further high-grade gold intersection of 6m at 29.41g/t gold, including 2m at 77.40g/t gold, along with multiple
zones of +1g/t gold mineralisation were returned from the 5 AC traverses completed in the north of the Central target.
The results from the first pass AC program were considered highly encouraging and a follow-up drilling program
comprising 182 AC holes, 9 RC holes and 1 DD hole was subsequently completed.

OKLO RESOURCES LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES | ANNUAL REPORT 2019
A ground IP geophysical survey completed over the southern portion of the Kouroufing gold corridor outlined a series of
strong, NNW-trending resistivity and chargeability anomalies coincident with the significant AC gold intersections (Figure 6).
Inspection of the AC drill samples indicates that the gold mineralisation may be associated with alteration, sulphide
mineralisation (pyrite) and quartz veining developed within shear zones along the contact between felsic intrusives and
sediments. Extensive artisanal workings are also evident along this trend.

AUDITED REMUNERATION REPORT
The information provided in this remuneration report has been audited as required under Section 308(3C)
of the Corporations Act 2001.
This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each director of Oklo Resources Limited
and key management personnel.
For the purposes of this report, Key Management Personnel (“KMP”) of the Group are defined as those
persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of
the Company and the Group, directly or indirectly, including any Director (whether Executive or
otherwise) of the parent company.
The names and positions of the KMP of the company and the Group during the financial year were:

Remuneration Policy
The nature and amount of remuneration for the Non-executive Directors and executives depends on the
nature of the role and market rates for the position, with the assistance of external surveys and reports,
and taking into account the experience and qualifications of each individual. The Board ensures that the
remuneration of key management personnel is competitive and reasonable. Fees and payments to the
Non-executive Directors reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of the Directors.
Non-executive Director’s fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Board.
In undertaking a review of the performance of both directors and executives, consideration is given to the
respective performance of person during the review period; however, there are no prescribed
performance measures or hurdles connected with the level of remuneration.
Given the current size, nature and risks of the Company, incentive options have been used to attract and
retain Non-executive Directors and executives. The grant of such options is at the discretion of the Board
and subject, as appropriate, to shareholder approval. The Board believes participation in the Company’s
Incentive Option Scheme motivates key management and executives with the long-term interests of
shareholders.
The Company has not engaged the services of external remuneration consultants to advise them on
Director and executive remuneration policy. At the Company’s 2018 Annual General Meeting, the
Remuneration Report was passed by way of show of hands and no comment was made on this matter by
any attendees.

Share–based compensation
The Company has historically engaged in share-based remuneration with the Directors. During the year
ended 30 June 2019, the Company did not grant any share-based compensation to any directors.
Historically, the grant of options to the Directors were not linked to performance. The Board considered
the issues of the options to be reasonable in the circumstances given the Company’s size, stage of
development and need to attract directors and key management personnel of a high calibre while still
maintaining cash reserves.
Options granted carry no dividend or voting rights. When exercisable, each option is convertible into one
ordinary share. The assessed fair value at grant date of options granted to the individuals is allocated
equally over the period from the grant date to vesting date and the amount is included in the
remuneration tables above. Fair values at grant date are independently determined using a Binomial
Methodology option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the terms of the option, the
impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the
expected dividend yield and the risk-free rate for the term of the option.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019
ABOUT THIS REPORT
Oklo Resources Limited is a company limited by shares incorporated and domiciled in Australia whose
shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. The nature of the operations and
principal activities of the Group are described in the directors' report.
The financial report of Oklo Resources Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Group)
for the year ended 30 June 2019 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors
on 27 September 2019.
Basis of preparation
This financial report is a general purpose financial report, prepared by a for-profit entity, which:
• Has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian
Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting
Standards Board (AASB) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB);
• Has been prepared on a historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of available-for-sale
financial assets, financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value
through profit or loss and certain classes of property, plant and equipment;
• Presents comparative information where required for consistency with the current year's
presentation; and
• 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 July 2018.
•
The notes to the consolidated financial statements have been organised into logical groupings to help users
find and understand the information. Where possible, related information has been provided in the same

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019
ABOUT THIS REPORT (CONT)
New and amended standards adopted by the Group
A number of new or amended standards became applicable for the current reporting period for which the
Group has adopted:
• AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers; and
• AASB 9 Financial Instruments.
The new accounting policies are disclosed below. There is no impact on the Group for the year ended 30
June 2019.
AASB 15 Revenue from contracts with Customers
AASB 15 Revenue from contracts with Customers replaces AASB 118 Revenue. AASB 15 was adopted by
the Group on 1 July 2018. AASB 15 provides a single, principles-based five-step model to be applied to all
contracts with customers.
The Company has considered AASB 15 and determined that there is no impact on the financial statements
as the Group is not generating sales revenue at this stage.
The Group’s new revenue accounting policy is detailed below:
Revenue is recognised when or as the Group transfers control of goods or services to a customer at the
amount to which the Group expects to be entitled. If the consideration promised includes a variable
component, the Group estimates the expected consideration for the estimated impact of the variable
component at the point of recognition and re-estimated at every reporting period.
AASB 9 Financial Instruments
AASB 9 Financial Instruments replaces the provisions of AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and
Measurement that relate to the recognition, classification and measurement of financial assets and
financial liabilities, derecognition of financial instruments, impairment of financial assets and hedge
accounting. The adoption of AASB 9 Financial Instruments from 1 July 2018 did not give rise to any
transitional adjustments.
The new accounting policies (applicable from 1 July 2018) are set out below.
Classification and measurement:
Except for certain trade receivables the Group initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in
the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs.
Under AASB 9 financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL),
amortised cost, or fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). The classification is based on
two criteria: The Group’s business model for managing the assets; and whether the instruments’
contractual cash flows represent ‘solely payments of principal and interest’ on the principal amount
outstanding (the ‘SPPI criterion’).

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019
ABOUT THIS REPORT (CONT)
Impairment:
From 1 July 2018, the Group will assess, on a forward-looking basis, any expected credit losses (ECLs)
associated with any debt instruments carried at amortised cost and FVOCI. ECLs are based on the
difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows
that the Company expects to receive. The shortfall is then discounted at an approximation to the asset’s
original effective interest rate.
The Group assesses at each balance date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or
group of financial assets is impaired. 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. The expected credit losses on these financial assets are estimated using a
provision matrix based on the Group’s historical credit loss experience.
New and amended standards not yet adopted by the Group
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for
the 30 June 2019 reporting period. The Group’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and
interpretations that may have an impact on the Group is set out below:
AASB 16 Leases
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The standard
replaces AASB 117 'Leases' and for lessees will eliminate the classifications of operating leases and finance
leases. Subject to exceptions, a 'right-of-use' asset will be capitalised in the statement of financial
position, measured at the present value of the unavoidable future lease payments to be made over the
lease term. The exceptions relate to short-term leases of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets
(such as personal computers and small office furniture) where an accounting policy choice exists whereby
either a 'right-of-use' asset is recognised or lease payments are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. A
liability corresponding to the capitalised lease will also be recognised, adjusted for lease prepayments,
lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of any future restoration, removal
or dismantling costs.
Straight-line operating lease expense recognition will be replaced with a depreciation charge for the
leased asset (included in operating costs) and an interest expense on the recognised lease liability
(included in finance costs). In the earlier periods of the lease, the expenses associated with the lease
under AASB 16 will be higher when compared to lease expenses under AASB 117. However EBITDA
(Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation) results will be improved as the operating
expense is replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit or loss under AASB 16.
Key estimates and judgements
In the process of applying the Group's accounting policies, management has made a number of
judgements and applied estimates of future events. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or
complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are
disclosed in the following notes:

ABOUT THIS REPORT (CONT)
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group. A list of controlled
entities (subsidiaries) at year end is contained in Note 6.1.
The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent entity,
using consistent accounting policies.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-company balances and transactions, income
and expenses and profit or losses resulting from intra-Group transactions have been eliminated.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is obtained to the date on which control is
disposed. The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting.

Key estimates and judgements
The recoupment of tax losses carried forward as at 30 June 2019 are contingent upon the
company deriving assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the
benefit from the losses to be realised; the conditions for deductibility imposed by tax
legislation continuing to be complied with; and there being no changes in tax legislation
which would adversely affect the company from realising the benefits from the losses.

1.2 INCOME TAX (CONT)
Accounting policy
Current tax
Current tax is calculated by reference to the amount of income taxes payable or recoverable in
respect of the taxable profit or tax loss for the period. It is calculated using tax rates and tax
laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. Current tax for
current and prior periods is recognised as a liability (or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or
refundable).
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is accounted for using the comprehensive liability method in respect of
temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and
liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax base of those items.
In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable
amounts will be available against which deductible temporary differences or unused tax losses
and tax offsets can be utilised. However, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if
the temporary differences giving rise to them arise from the initial recognition of assets and
liabilities (other than as a result of a business combination) which affects neither taxable
income nor accounting profit. Furthermore, a deferred tax liability is not recognised in relation
to taxable temporary differences arising from goodwill.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments
in subsidiaries, branches, associates and joint ventures except where the consolidated entity is
able to control the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary
differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from
deductible temporary differences associated with these investments and interests are only
recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against
which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in
the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to
the period(s) when the asset and liability giving rise to them are realised or settled, based on
tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that
would follow from the manner in which the consolidated entity expects, at the reporting date,
to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the
same taxation authority and the company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities
on a net basis.
Current and deferred tax for the year
Current and deferred tax is recognised as an expense or income in the profit or loss, except
when it relates to items credited or debited in other comprehensive income or directly to
equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or
directly in equity, or where it arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, in
which case it is taken into account in the determination of goodwill or excess.

N/A
N/A
Classification of securities
Diluted earnings per share is calculated after classifying all options on issue and all ownership
based remuneration scheme shares remaining uncovered at 30 June 2019 as potential ordinary
shares. As at 30 June 2019, the company has on issue 20,375,000 options over unissued capital.
Diluted loss per share has not been calculated as the Company made a loss for the year and the
impact would be to reduce the loss per share.
Conversions, calls, subscriptions or issues after 30 June 2019
Other than the placement of 57,142,857 shares to raise $6,000,000 in September 2019 (refer
Note 7.3), there have not been any conversions, calls, subscriptions or other share issues after 30
June 2019.
Accounting Policy
Loss per share
Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing the profit from ordinary activities after related
income tax expense and after preference dividends by the weighted average number of ordinary
shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per
share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs
associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares
assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary
shares.

1.4. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to
the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker who is responsible for
allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified
as the Board of Directors of Oklo Resources Limited.
At 30 June 2019 the segment information reported was analysed on the basis of geographical
Region (Australia and Mali). During the year to 30 June 2019, the Group’s management reporting
has remained unchanged. Management has determined that the Company has two reportable
segments, being mineral exploration in Mali and operations in Australia.
Information regarding these segments is presented below. The accounting policies of the
reportable segments are the same as the Group’s accounting policies.

Accounting Policy
Trade and other receivable assets that 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 items in the statement of profit or loss.
The Group assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its financial
assets carried at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there
has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivables and other receivable, the Group
applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be
recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.

Accounting Policy
Short-term employee benefits are benefits, other than termination benefits, that are expected to be
settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the
related service. Examples of such benefits include wages and salaries, annual leave, non-monetary
benefits and accumulating sick
leave. Short-term employee benefits are measured at the
undiscounted amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

Key estimates and judgements (PPE)
The estimations of useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods require significant
management judgements and are regularly reviewed. If they need to be modified, the depreciation
and amortisation expense is accounted for prospectively from the date of the assessment until the end
of the revised useful life (for both the current and future years).
Accounting Policy
Each class of property, including land, buildings, plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where
applicable, any accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation
Depreciation is provided on a straight line basis on all property, plant and equipment, other than
freehold land. This is done over the useful lives of the asset to the Company commencing from the
time the asset is held ready for use.
The depreciation periods used for each class of depreciable assets are:

Key estimates and judgements
The recoverability of the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on
the successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective area
of interest.
The Group reviews the carrying value of exploration and evaluation expenditure on a regular basis to
determine whether economic quantities of reserves have been found or whether further exploration
and evaluation work is underway or planned to support continued carry forward of capitalised costs.
This assessment requires judgement as to the status of the individual projects and their estimated
recoverable amount.

3.2 EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION (CONT.)
Accounting Policy
Exploration and evaluation expenditures in relation to separate areas of interest are capitalised in
the year in which they are incurred and are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses
where the following conditions are satisfied:
i)
ii)
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.
Capitalised exploration costs are reviewed each reporting date to test whether an indication of
impairment exists. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the capitalised
exploration costs is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where an
impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised
estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does
not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been
recognised for the asset in previous years.
Where a decision is made to proceed with development, accumulated expenditure is tested for
impairment and transferred to capitalised development and then amortised over the life of the
reserve associated with the area of interest once mining operations have commenced.
Development expenditure is recognised at cost less any impairment of losses. Where commercial
production in an area of interest has commenced, the associated costs are amortised over the life
of reserves associated with the area of interest. Changes in factors such as estimates of proved and
probable reserves that affect unit of production calculations are dealt with on a prospective basis.

(e) Capital risk management
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going
concern, so it can continue its activities and provide returns for shareholders and other stakeholders.
It is the board’s current policy, which it has operated since the company’s inception, that given the
nature of its business, to fund its operations without the use of external borrowings. The board
undertakes the preparation of an annual budget to assess its expected capital needs and to ensure
sufficient capital is available to meet those needs. The financial performance of the company is
measured on a regular basis against this budget to ensure that the company is meeting its cash inflow
and outflow targets.
In order maintain its capital structure and to maintain its policy of no external borrowings, to support
its ongoing operations, the company may issue new shares or sell assets to provide ongoing funding of
its operations.
Accounting Policy
Ordinary shares are classified as equity
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a
deduction net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new
shares or options for the acquisition of a business are not included in the cost of acquisition as part
of the purchase consideration.
If the entity reacquires its own equity instruments, e.g. as the result of a share buyback, those
instruments are deducted from equity and the associated shares are cancelled. No gain or loss is
recognised in the profit or loss and the consideration paid including any directly attributable
incremental costs (net of income taxes) is recognised directly in equity.

5. RISK
5.1. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group attempts to mitigate risks that may affect its future performance through a process of
identifying, assessing, reporting and managing risks of corporate significance.
The board considers the principal risks of our business, particularly during the strategic planning and
budget processes.
The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise cash, short-term deposits and investments in
shares. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to fund the Group’s operations.
The Group has various other financial instruments such as trade debtors, trade creditors and
borrowings, which arise directly from its operations.
The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments is cash flow interest rate risk and foreign
currency risk. Other minor risks include credit risk, liquidity risk and capital risk management. The board
reviews and adopts policies for each of these risks which are summarised below.
(a) Credit risk
The Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single debtor or group of debtors
under financial instruments entered into by the Group.
Financial instruments other than receivables that potentially subject the Group to concentrations of
credit risk consist principally of cash deposits. The Group places its cash deposits with high credit
quality financial institutions, being in Australia one of the major Australian (big four) banks. Cash
holdings in other countries are not significant. The Group’s cash deposits are all on call or in term
deposits and attract a rate of interest at normal short-term money market rates.
The maximum amount of credit risk the Group considers it would be exposed to would be $6,527,164
(2018: $18,366,296) being the total of the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents and other
financial assets as at the Reporting Date.
The group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a
lifetime expected
loss allowance for all trade receivables. These provisions are considered
representative across all customers of the Group based on recent sales experience, historical collection
rates and forward-looking information that is available.

(b) Cash flow interest rate risk
The Group’s exposure to the risks of changes in market interest rates relate to its cash deposits. All
other financial assets and liabilities in the form of receivables and payables are non-interest bearing.
The Company had external borrowings amounting to $Nil as at 30 June 2019 (2018: $Nil). These
external borrowings are non-interest bearing.
The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk is the risk that a financial instrument’s value will fluctuate as
a result of changes in market interest rates. The Group does not have a formal policy in place to
mitigate such risks as the Group’s income and operating cash flows are not materially exposed to
changes in market interest rates.

liabilities as at reporting date is as follows:

(d) Foreign Exchange Risk
A risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities are
denominated in a currency other than the consolidated entity’s functional currency.
The Group operates internationally, with its major assets being held in Mali, West Africa and is
exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from currency exposures to the Euro, FCFA (fixed to the
Euro) and US Dollar. Historically, given the level of expenditure and available funding, the Group
considered its exposure to foreign exchange risk was manageable and hedging policies were not
adopted. The Company, through the Managing Director and the Chief Financial Officer regularly
monitor movements in the foreign currencies that the Company is exposed to. If appropriate, and
from time to time, the Company may enter into forward foreign exchange contract to minimise its
exposure to foreign exchange risks. The Company also has foreign currency denominated accounts
that are utilised to manage this risk. The Company did not enter into any new forward foreign
exchange contracts during the year.
The Board considers policies relating to foreign currency exposure from time to time and, based on
available funding, proposed exploration programs and foreign currency exposures, may or may not
decide to enter in further forward foreign exchange contracts. The Board will continue to review its
position in respect of foreign exchange risk management and will adopt suitable policies as required.
The carrying value of foreign currency denominate monetary assets and liabilities as at the reporting
date are as follows:

Foreign Currency Sensitivity Analysis
The Group is mainly exposed to Euro and US Dollars. The following table details the Group’s
sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease in the Australian dollar against the relevant foreign
currencies. 10% is the sensitivity rate that represents management’s assessment of the reasonably
possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign
currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the year end for a 10% change
in foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates an increase in profit where the
Australian dollar strengthens 10% against the relevant currency. For a 10% weakening of the
Australian dollar against the relevant currency, there would be a comparable impact on the profit,
and the balances below would be negative.

expenditure. Therefore, the variations in the balance as shown in the sensitivity analysis would not
impact the profit or loss, but rather the carrying value of the capitalised exploration expenditure.
Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts
As at 30 June 2019 there were no outstanding forward foreign exchange contracts.
(e) Fair value of financial instruments
The directors consider that the carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in
the financial statements represents their respective net fair values, determined in accordance with
accounting policies.
The fair values and net fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as
follows:
-
-
the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions
and traded on active liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market prices;
and
the fair value of other financial assets and financial liabilities are determined in accordance
with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis.

7.2. CONTINGENCIES
The Group’s Malian subsidiary SOCAF sarl has obligations in the event that it commences mining at
either its Boutounguissi Sud or Aourou concessions in Mali. Pursuant to an agreement with the SOCAF
sarl founder, M. B Camara, an amount of FCFA 200,000,000 (approximately A$493,600) is payable
from available cash-flow from mining, after reimbursement of the Malian Government for past
exploration.
As part of the acquisition of Compass Gold Mali BVI Corp in December 2013, part of the contingent
liabilities acquired included an existing 2% Net Smelter Return Royalty (Royalty) over the assets of
Africa Mining sarl, one of the Company’s operating subsidiaries in Mali. This Royalty was originally
granted in 2009. The Royalty covers the Dandoko, Yanfolila and Kolondieba licences held by Africa
Mining sarl and is jointly held by a company controlled by a former director, James Henderson, and
current director Dr Madani Diallo.
As part of the acquisition of the Kandiole Permit, the Company will assume all the rights, duties and
obligations of the Permit, including, but not limited to the obligation to pay a 1% net smelter return
royalty to the current owner. Oklo has the right to purchase this for US$1,400,000 (A$1,993,450) at
any time in which Oklo or its nominee has an interest, or a right to an interest, in the Permit.
As part of the agreement to acquire the Kouroufing Project, Oklo agreed that in the event that Oklo
elects to apply for an Exploitation Licence (Mining Licence) in relation to any part of Kouroufing
Project, Oklo shall grant Kouroufing Gold S.A. (current owner) a 5% equity interest in the Licence and a
1% NSR (Net Smelter Return) royalty. Kouroufing Gold will then grant Oklo the right to acquire
Kouroufing Gold’s equity interest in the Licence for a fixed price of US$1,000,000 (A$1,423,893)
payable in cash.

7.2 CONTINGENCIES (CONT.)
In July 2018, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire the Kossaya Project. The acquisition
terms, including future amounts payable (commitments) to Sogetrac sarl (current owner), are set out
in Note 3.2. As part of the acquisition of the Kossaya Project, Oklo agreed that in the event that Oklo,
elects to apply for Mining License in relation to any part of the Kossaya Project, Oklo shall cause the
Mining Licence to be issued to a new entity (NewCo) and grant Sogetrac a 5% equity interest in NewCo
and also cause Newco to grant Sogetrac a 1% NSR royalty. Sogetrac will then grant to Oklo the right to
acquire Sogetrac’s ownership interest in Newco for a fixed price of US$1,000,000 (A$1,423,893)
payable in cash.
In July 2018, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire the Sari Project. The acquisition
terms, including future amounts payable (commitments) to Ecosud sarl (current owner), are set out in
Note 3.2. As part of the acquisition of the Sari Project, Oklo agreed that in the event that Oklo elects
to apply for Mining License in relation to any part of the Sari Project, Oklo shall cause the Mining
Licence to be issued to a new entity (Sari NewCo) and grant Ecosud a 5% equity interest in Sari NewCo
and also cause Sari Newco to grant Ecosud a 1% NSR royalty. Ecosud will then grant to Oklo the right
to acquire Ecosud’s ownership interest in Sari Newco for a fixed price of US$1,000,000 (A$1,423,893)
payable in cash, and the right to Ecosud’s 1% NSR for a fixed price of US$1,000,000 (A$1,423,893).
Under the Malian Mining code, the Government of Mali is entitled to a 10% interest in any mining
company established to exploit a resource and may secure a further 10% on commercial terms. This
contingency would only crystallise in the event the any of the current exploration licences are
converted into mining licences.
7.3. EVENTS OCCURING AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD
On 16 July 2019, the Company appointed Mr Mark Connelly as Non-Executive Chairman of the
Company. On that same Date Mr Simon O’Loughlin moved to a Non-Executive Director position with
the Company.
On 18 July 2019, the Company exercised its option to acquire the Kossaya Project. As at the date of this
report, the Company has a 65% interest in the Kossaya Project (refer Note 3.2).

paid shares at an issue price of $0.105 per share to raise a total of $6,000,000.
Other than the above, there has not been any matter or circumstance that has arisen since the end of
the financial year, that has significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Group,
the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in future financial years.

Accounting Policy
Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees.
Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares that are provided to
employees in exchange for the rendering of services. Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash for
the exchange of services, where the amount of cash is determined by reference to the share price.
The costs of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in
equity over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant
date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the
expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the
cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous
periods.
The costs of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is
independently determined using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes
into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant
date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free
interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do not determine
whether the consolidated entity receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment.
No account is taken of any other vesting conditions.
Key estimates and judgements
The Group has an Incentive Option Scheme (“Scheme”) for executives and employees of the Group.
In accordance with the provisions of the Scheme, as approved by the shareholders at the August 2018
annual general meeting, executives and employees may be granted options at the discretion of the
directors.
Each share option converts into one ordinary share of Oklo Resources Limited on exercise. No amounts
are paid or are payable by the recipient on receipt of the option. The options carry neither rights of
dividends nor voting rights. Options may be exercised at any time from the date of vesting to the date
of their expiry.
Options issued to directors are not issued under the Scheme but are subject to approval by
shareholders.

these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an
item of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as a current asset or
liability in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST components of cash
flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO
are classified as operating cash flows.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the members of Oklo Resources Limited
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Oklo Resources Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the
Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019, the
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement
of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes
to the financial report, including a summary of significant accounting policies and the directors’
declaration.
In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Group, is in accordance with the Corporations
Act 2001, including:
(i)
Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2019 and of its
financial performance for the year ended on that date; and
(ii)
Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial
Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the 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 other ethical responsibilities in accordance
with the Code.
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
time 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.

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.

AUDITOR’S REPORT
Accounting for Exploration and Evaluation Assets
Key audit matter
How the matter was addressed in our audit
At 30 June 2019 the Group held a significant
carrying value of Exploration and Evaluation
Assets as disclosed in Note 3.2.
Judgement is applied in determining the
treatment of exploration expenditure in
accordance with Australian Accounting Standard
AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral
Resources. In particular:
· Whether the conditions for capitalisation
are satisfied;
· Which elements of exploration and
evaluation expenditures qualify for
recognition;
·
Recognition and valuation of purchase
consideration for tenement acquisitions;
and
· Whether facts and circumstances indicate
that the exploration and expenditure
assets should be tested for impairment.
Our procedures included, but were not limited
to:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Obtaining a schedule of the areas of
interest held by the Group and assessing
whether the rights to tenure of those areas
of interest remained current at balance
date;
Considering the status of the ongoing
exploration programmes in the respective
areas of interest by holding discussions with
management, and reviewing the Group’s
exploration budgets, ASX announcements
and director’s minutes;
Considering whether any such areas of
interest had reached a stage where a
reasonable assessment of economically
recoverable reserves existed;
Verifying, on a sample basis, evaluation
expenditure capitalised during the year for
compliance with the recognition and
measurement criteria of AASB 6;
Considering whether any facts or
circumstances existed to suggest
impairment testing was required; and
Assessing the adequacy of the related
disclosures in Note 3.2 to the financial
report.

AUDITOR’S REPORT
Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2019, but does not include the
financial report and the auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any
form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial
report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this
other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a
true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001
and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the
financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the group to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material
if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the
Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website (http://www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx) at:
