In the past year Platina has been very active in advancing the Company’s Owendale Scandium, Cobalt, Nickel and Platinum Project in central New South Wales, Australia, one of the world’s highest-grade scandium projects, towards development. Platina is focussed on a staged development strategy, which was adopted to match market demand. Platina successfully completed the continuous pilot plant program and the data generated in the program will provide a solid basis for our Definitive Feasibility Study, which is on track for completion in Q4 2018. In July 2018, Platina was able to secure an industrial site in Condobolin for processing facilities and permitting and other approval processes continue. Work continued by our JV partner Artemis Resources Ltd at Munni Munni during the year. Artemis Resources Ltd has earned its 70% interest and work to-date suggests Munni Munni has conglomerate gold potential. Platina retains full ownership of the Skaergaard project in Greenland, one of the world’s largest undeveloped gold and palladium resources, with a JORC Resource of 203Mt @ 0.88g/t gold and 1.33g/t palladium. Skaergaard has currently 0.69Moz platinum, 8.67Moz palladium and 5.69Moz gold. Platina continues to actively pursue options to monetise the project with an objective of ensuring shareholder value can be achieved from this project. Rob Mosig, our long time CEO stepped down in January 2018. We thank Rob for his contribution to Platina over many years and wish him well in his future endeavours. During the year we welcomed John Anderson to the board as a non-executive director. In August 2018 we have also welcomed Corey Nolan to the board as our new MD and CEO. Chris Hartley acted as our interim CEO and MD from January to July 2018 and I wish to thank Chris for his tireless efforts during the year and also our staff and technical team, to advance the Owendale project. Our Company Secretary Paul Jurman also joined the Board to assist whilst a new CEO and MD was secured, stepping down in August on Corey’s appointment. On behalf of the Board I wish to thank Paul for his contribution during that time. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank you for your support of the Company and I look forward to bringing you further news as our development, marketing and exploration efforts continue. Yours faithfully Brian Moller Chairman Annual Mineral Resources and Reserves Statement PLATINA RESOURCES LIMITED Annual Report 2018 | 3 Annual Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves Statement Further details on the JORC (2012) references and statement of currency are included in the last page of the Review of Operations.

The intention of the June 2018 drilling program was to upgrade the Mineral Resource with two additional mining areas for the Definitive Feasibility Study and for mine permitting. The updated Mineral Resource represents a 6% increase in the size of the scandium Mineral Resource to 35.6 Mt at a 300 ppm cut-off level (up from 33.7 Mt), and a 2% increase in the scandium grade to 405 ppm (up from 395 ppm). The reassaying of the samples from the two additional areas at Box Cowal and North Cincinnati resulted in 20% higher scandium grade from the XRF analysis compared to the previous ICP analyses. This has had a significant impact on the quantum of higher grade scandium Mineral Resource in both areas, which is supported by high grades from Platina 2018 infill drilling (announced 2 August 2018). Consequently, the Mineral Resource estimate at the higher 600 ppm scandium cut-off has been improved significantly with a 15% increase in the size of the scandium Mineral Resource to 1.76 Mt (up from 1.54 Mt), at the same scandium grade of 675 ppm, after rounding. In addition, further reassaying of historic Helix drilling has also added to the overall resource, particularly in the southern areas where Platina has completed less drilling. The updated Mineral Resource incorporates more historic Helix assay data improving the laterite interpretation that has resulted in geology interpretation changes in more sparsely drilled areas largely classified as Inferred. Some minor modifications to the geological domaining has trimmed some lower grade dilution where magnesite is present and the material is unlikely to be considered economic due to the expected higher acid consumption. Annual Mineral Resources and Reserves Statement PLATINA RESOURCES LIMITED Annual Report 2018 | 5 The August 2018 Mineral Resource estimate has been successful in proving up the two additional focus areas as more robust options than originally envisaged. For the two areas the additional drilling has increased the Mineral Resource classification to Measured and Indicated. It is now planned these areas will be added to the mining Ore Reserve and mining schedule for Definitive Feasibility Study and included for permitting. The reduction in cobalt cut-off Mineral Resource is attributed largely to a southern Inferred area where the reassay and addition of the Helix drilling has improved the estimate confidence but restricted the extrapolation of some peripheral areas. Owendale Ore Reserve The Owendale Ore Reserves remains unchanged in Table 3. The Owendale Ore Reserves are currently being updated for the current Definitive Feasibility Study economics and parameters and also to include the updated Mineral Resource (as noted above). The changes in the Mineral Resource are predominantly in Inferred Mineral Resource areas or areas infill drilled outside the current Ore Reserve. Hence the new drilling and assay data are not expected to materially affect the current Ore Reserve area but will offer new areas intended for inclusion in any updated Ore Reserve.

Sampling at Owendale used Aircore drilling which proved to have superior sample recovery compared to RC drilling. All sampling was over 1 metre regular intervals using standard riffle splitting sub sampling methods and commercial laboratory sample preparation and assaying methods. Platina has pioneered new XRF assaying method in 2016 undertaking a comprehensive assaying quality assurance process to determine the suitability of XRF for the assaying of scandium. ALS laboratories, a certified commercial laboratory with significant in-house QAQC expertise, have been used for all primary assaying. ALS has worked closely with Platina to develop and test scandium assaying methods and accuracy. Assay batches continued use of in-house high grade scandium standards used throughout all Platina drilling programs as well as a number of other commercial certified reference materials. Extensive reassaying work has allowed Platina to recalibrate its in-house standards using XRF and robust neutron activation analysis (NAA) techniques, which have allowed the development of a reliable understanding of previous assay biases by older scandium assaying methods. Drilling and sampling was supervised by suitably qualified Platina staff. Surveying was by a registered surveyor and assaying by a commercial laboratory (ALS). All drilling was immediately back filled and rehabilitated after drilling. Drilling included regular quality assurance samples with blanks, field duplicates and standards submitted blind to the laboratory. Post assaying check samples were submitted and verified the original results. Platina maintains strong QAQC controls across all resource related work. Particular emphasis and considerable work has been spent on deriving a more accurate assaying method for scandium Platina has progressed the reassaying and integration of the previous Helix drilling data into their database and the Mineral Resource estimate to make the best use of the available data but still maintain a standard where that data is considered both reliable and has a meaningful addition to peripheral areas. 6 | PLATINA RESOURCES LIMITED Annual Report 2018 Annual Mineral Resources and Reserves Statement Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves were estimated by independent third parties (Owendale Mineral Resource by ResEval Pty Ltd; Owendale Ore Reserve by Measured Group Pty Ltd) and reported under current JORC (2012) reporting guidelines. Various visual and statistical checks were made to validate the results. Skaergaard Mineral Resource Mineral Resources estimates for Skaergaard were prepared in accordance with the JORC Code, 2012 Edition reporting framework by Wardell Armstrong, UK and reported by the Company in an ASX announcement dated 23 July 2013 (Table 4). Mineral Resources are 100% held by Platina. There has been no change to the Mineral Resources at Skaergaard from June 2018 to June 2017. No material exploration activity took place at Skaergaard during the 2018 period nor since the announcement in 2013.

Owendale is one of the world’s highest-grade scandium deposits and has potential to be Australia’s first scandium producer with platinum, cobalt and nickel credits. Figure 1: Platina Scandium Project locations Figure 2: Platina Scandium Project region 8 | PLATINA RESOURCES LIMITED Annual Report 2018 Review of Operations A Pre-Feasibility Study (“PFS”) was completed in July 2017, confirming the robust economics of developing a 42 tonne per year scandium production facility with by-products of nickel and cobalt intermediate products. The PFS highlights a simple, free dig open-pit mining operation, which will mine approximately 50,000 dry tonnes of ore per annum for treatment and concentration off site to produce 42 tonnes of scandium oxide at 99.99% purity. Ore will be mined in advance and stockpiled for blending and road transport to the process facility off-site at Condobolin. The PFS considers a processing plant utilising a simple crushing and grinding circuit followed by a high-pressure acid leaching circuit. Final processing of the scandium ore is carried out using solvent extraction, precipitation and filtration. Owendale contains significant cobalt, allowing for viable production of cobalt as an important by-product. Table 1 provides a summary of the key outcomes and parameters of the PFS, for full details see ASX announcement dated 10 July 2017. Table 5.

The maiden Ore Reserve underpinned the positive project economics including an optimised, mine schedule of an initial 35 years of high-grade feed (>550 ppm Sc), including an initial 5 years of high-grade cobalt (0.18% Co head grade) recovered as a by-product. In late 2017, Simulus Engineers was commissioned to complete a plant size optimization study, incorporating a modularisation approach to reduce the upfront capital cost and plant size for a staged market entry (18 December 2017). This resulted in a 59% lower capital cost estimate for 55% smaller throughput and is summarized in Table 2. Table 2.

The first stage will exclude the production of by-products to keep the capital cost as low as possible. The DFS is due for completion in the fourth quarter 2018. Bench scale metallurgical test work continued in 2017 and 2018 and culminated in a full pilot plant program where 5 tonnes of scandium laterite was processed at a purpose configured mini plant at SGS Mineral Metallurgy in Perth. The continuous pitot plant ran for 11 days testing scandium recovery through a high pressure acid leach (HPAL) front end process and solvent exchange (SX) back end metal extraction. Scandium recovery was confirmed and a suitable tailing filter cake produced confirming plans for trucking and in-pit remediation of the tailings (announced 12 June 2018). Refining of the extracted scandium after the pilot program produced a final scandia product that met a high 99.99% (4N) specification. Platina identified a suitable processing site near Condobolin in 2017. The site is a disused industrial facility with existing earthworks, building, power and water and proximity to a regional town with housing and existing businesses. The site offers lower infrastructure cost and solves water access issues, both critical items for the planned initial small scale development. Discussions and work progressed with the property owner, the Lachlan Shire Council, and resulted in the execution of a lease agreement (announced 12 July 2018), which has an option to purchase. Onsite work completed to date includes a site clean-up, soil remediation, and ground water and geotechnical assessments. To enhance permitting applications, two additional Mineral Resource areas next to the main road were identified for inclusion in the DFS and Environmental Impact Study (“EIS”). These were followed up with additional drilling and resampling (announced 2 August 2018). A significant upgrade to the previous Mineral Resource in that area in combination with a wider spread of resampling over mostly southern areas of the Mineral Resource has increased the total scandium Mineral Resource by 8% to 11%, for the 300 ppm and 600 ppm Sc cut-offs respectively (announced 16 August 2018). The updated Mineral Resource will be the basis of the DFS with work currently underway to update the Ore Reserve. Ausenco Services Pty Ltd was appointed as the lead engineering firm for the DFS with work proceeding on schedule during 2018 along with other key consulting and engineering groups that include: Element 21 for SX test work and design; • • Prudentia Process Consulting for associated SX engineering; • Measured Group for mine planning; and • ATC Williams for geotechnical services. During the year, environmental baseline studies have been progressing to allow the completion of the EIS by the end of 2018. This is managed by RW Corkery & Co who have substantial experience in New South Wales with small to medium sized environmental studies and permitting. On completion of the DFS and EIS, the Company will lodge a Mining Lease Application. The Company is simultaneously seeking to secure binding offtake agreements for the supply of scandium oxide from Owendale to facilitate project financing. Negotiations remain ongoing with multiple parties throughout the world. 10 | PLATINA RESOURCES LIMITED Annual Report 2018 Review of Operations SKAERGAARD, GREENLAND – GOLD AND PGM PROJECT Platina Resources Ltd 100% - EL2007/01 The Skaergaard Gold & Platinum Group Metals (“PGM”) project is located on the East Coast of Greenland, approximately 400 kilometres west of Iceland (Figure 3). It is one of the world’s largest undeveloped gold and palladium resource and has an Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource estimate reported in accordance with the JORC Code (2012) of 203Mt @ 0.88g/t gold & 1.33g/t palladium at a 1 g/t gold equivalent (AuEq) cut-off grade and minimum mining thickness of 1.0m. The combined Mineral Resource includes both the Indicated and Inferred categories for a total of 5.7 million ounces of gold, 8.7 million ounces of palladium and 0.79 million ounces of platinum. The mineralisation is confined within three reefs (H0, H3 and H5), the Triple Group, which is the major location for all the gold and PGM mineralisation within the Skaergaard Intrusion. Mineralisation at Skaergaard is hosted in a layered intrusion, geologically akin to South Africa’s Bushveld Complex, which hosts the majority of the world’s platinum group metals. Mineralisation outcrops at surface and extends to at least 1.1km vertical depth and more than 35,000m of diamond drilling has been completed. Additional infill drilling is likely to increase the quantity of contained metal at Skaergaard. In particular, the northern extent of the Skaergaard Intrusion shows excellent exploration potential. Metallurgical test work has confirmed the Skaergaard ores are amenable to gravity and flotation processes, achieving excellent recoveries from both techniques. With the addition of a small leach circuit, it is conceptually possible to process gold ore on site. The implications of this are significant as it could allow for year-round exports via light aircraft, rather than shipping a concentrate during the relatively short ice-free window that occurs on the east coast of Greenland. Preliminary results are also encouraging in terms of titanomagnetite and ilmenite recovery, demonstrating that those minerals are upgradable by a combination of magnetic separation and flotation. The Company maintains its own 20-person exploration camp at Skaergaard, which also includes an airstrip and messing facilities. The camp is utilized for both Skaergaard and the Qialivarteerpik exploration licences. No work was carried out at Skaergaard during the year. The Company is currently reviewing its options for advancing the project and how to best generate a return from the significant historical investment. QIALIVARTEERPIK, GREENLAND – MULTI-ELEMENT PROJECT Platina Resources Ltd 100% - EL2012/25. Exploration Licence 2012/25 is referred to as Qialivarteerpik, (situated near Skaergaard Exploration Licence 2007/01 and is located on the East Coast of Greenland and comprises the potential east extension of the Company’s Skaergaard Project. No work was carried out during the year. Review of Operations PLATINA RESOURCES LIMITED Annual Report 2018 | 11 Figure 3: Plan of Skaergaard showing location and extent of Mineral Resource 12 | PLATINA RESOURCES LIMITED Annual Report 2018 Review of Operations MUNNI MUNNI, WA - PGM AND GOLD PROJECT Platina Resources Ltd 30% - Artemis Resources 70% - M47/123-126 and E47/3322 Situated in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, the Munni Munni Complex is one of Australia’s most significant PGM occurrences. Platina entered into a binding agreement with Artemis Resources providing for Artemis’ subsidiary Karratha Metals Pty Ltd to earn a 70% interest in the Mining Leases held by Platina by expending $750,000 in exploration over a three-year period. Subsequent to year end, the conditions were recently met reducing Platina’s holding to 30%. Artemis recently completed drilling, costeaning and geophysics programs at Munni Munni and the data is still being collated and the results have not yet been announced.

The Directors consider that the Group is not of a size nor are its affairs of such complexity as to justify the formation of special committees. DIRECTORS’ INTERESTS IN SECURITIES As at the date of this report, the interests of the Directors in the shares, options and performance rights of Platina Resources Limited are shown in the table below: Ordinary Shares Unlisted Options Performance Rights ($0.20 @ 31-Dec-19) Brian Moller Corey Nolan Christopher Hartley - - - John Anderson 104,340 2,000,000 4,000,000 2,000,000 2,000,000 - 2,000,000 - - PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES The principal activities of the Group during the financial year were acquiring, exploring and developing mineral interests, prospective for precious metals and other mineral deposits. OPERATING RESULTS The net loss of the Group for the year, after provision for income tax, amounted to $393,453 (2017: $532,726). DIVIDENDS PAID OR RECOMMENDED There were no dividends paid or recommended during the financial year. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS Information on the operations of the Group during the financial year and up to the date of this report is set out separately in the Annual Report under Review of Operations. 16 | PLATINA RESOURCES LIMITED Annual Report 2018 Directors’ Report REVIEW OF OPERATIONS / OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW The Group is primarily engaged in mineral exploration in Australia. A review of the Group’s operations, including information on exploration activity and results thereof, financial position, strategies and projects of the Group during the year ended 30 June 2018 is provided in this Financial Report and, in particular, in the "Review of Operations" section immediately preceding this Directors’ Report. The Group’s financial position, financial performance and use of funds information for the financial year is provided in the financial statements that follow this Directors’ Report. As an exploration entity, the Group has no operating revenue or earnings and consequently the Group’s performance cannot be gauged by reference to those measures. Instead, the Directors’ consider the Group’s performance based on the success of exploration activity, acquisition of additional prospective mineral interests and, in general, the value added to the Group’s mineral portfolio during the course of the financial year. Whilst performance can be gauged by reference to market capitalisation, that measure is also subject to numerous external factors. These external factors can be specific to the Group, generic to the mining industry and generic to the stock market as a whole and the Board and management would only be able to control a small number of these factors. The Group’s business strategy for the financial year ahead and, in the foreseeable future, is to continue exploration activity on the Group’s existing mineral projects, identify and assess new mineral project opportunities and review development strategies where individual projects have reached a stage that allows for such an assessment. Due to the inherent risky nature of the Group’s activities, the Directors are unable to comment on the likely results or success of these strategies. The Group’s activities are also subject to numerous risks, mostly outside the Board’s and management’s control. These risks can be specific to the Group, generic to the mining industry and generic to the stock market as a whole. The key risks, expressed in summary form, affecting the Group and its future performance include but are not limited to: • • • • • • • geological and technical risk posed to exploration and commercial exploitation success; security of tenure including licence renewal, inability to obtain regulatory or landowner consents or approvals and native title issues; change in commodity prices and market conditions; environmental and occupational health and safety risks; government policy changes; retention of key staff; and capital requirement and lack of future funding. This is not an exhaustive list of risks faced by the Group or an investment in it. There are other risks generic to the stock market and the world economy as whole and other risks generic to the mining industry, all of which can impact on the Group. Treasury policy The consolidated entity does not have a formally established treasury function. The Board is responsible for managing the consolidated entity’s finance facilities. The Group does not currently undertake hedging of any kind and is minimally exposed to currency risks. Liquidity and funding The consolidated entity has sufficient funds to finance its operations and exploration activities, and to allow the consolidated entity to take advantage of favourable business opportunities, not specifically budgeted for, or to fund unforeseen expenditure. Directors’ Report PLATINA RESOURCES LIMITED Annual Report 2018 | 17 SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group in the financial year except as disclosed in this financial report. AFTER BALANCE DATE EVENTS No matter or circumstance has arisen since the end of the financial year, to the date of this report, 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 other than the matters referred to below. • • • • In August 2018, the Company reported an updated Mineral Resource estimate representing a 6% increase in the size of the scandium Mineral Resource to 35.6 Mt at a 300 ppm cut-off level (up from 33.7 Mt), and a 2% increase in scandium grade to 405 ppm (up from 395 ppm) for 22,000 tonnes of Scandium on its Owendale Project in NSW. In July 2018, the Company entered into a lease agreement for the former abattoir site at Condobolin, NSW that is planned to be the site for the processing facility for the Owendale Project. In August 2018, following shareholder approval, the Company issued 4,000,000 options exercisable at $0.20 on or before 31 December 2019 and 2,000,000 Performance Rights to Mr Nolan and 2,000,000 options exercisable at $0.20 on or before 31 December 2019 to Mr Anderson. In August 2018, the Company announced that that Artemis Resources Limited (“Artemis”) has satisfied the conditions required to acquire a 70% interest in the Munni Munni Project in the West Pilbara. Formal documentation formalising the joint venture is currently being finalised. LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS, EXPECTED RESULTS, PROSPECTS AND BUSINESS STRATEGIES Likely developments in the operations of the Group and the expected results of those operations in subsequent financial years have been discussed where appropriate in the Annual Report under Review of Operations. There are no further developments of which the Directors are aware which could be expected to affect the results of the Group’s operations in subsequent financial years. The Directors are unable to comment on the likely results from the Company’s planned exploration and pre-development activities due to the speculative nature of such activities. Business Results The prospects of the Group in progressing their exploration projects in Australia and Greenland may be affected by a number of factors. These factors are similar to most exploration companies moving through exploration phase and attempting to get projects into development. Some of these factors include:  Exploration - the results of the exploration activities may be such that the estimated resources are insufficient to justify the financial viability of the projects. Platina Resources undertakes extensive exploration and product quality testing prior to establishing JORC compliant resource estimates and to (ultimately) support mining feasibility studies. The Group engages external experts to assist with the evaluation of exploration results and relies on third party competent persons to prepare JORC resource statements. Economic feasibility modelling of projects will be conducted in conjunction with third party experts and the results of which will usually be subject to independent third party peer review.  Regulatory and Sovereign - the Group operates in Australia and Greenland and deals with local regulatory authorities in relation to the exploration of its properties. The Group may not achieve the required local regulatory approvals to continue exploration or properly assess development prospects. The Group takes appropriate legal and technical advice to ensure it manages its compliance obligations appropriately. 18 | PLATINA RESOURCES LIMITED Annual Report 2018 Directors’ Report     Social Licence to Operate – the ability of the Group to secure and undertake exploration and development activities within prospective areas is also reliant upon satisfactory resolution of native title and (potentially) overlapping tenure. To address this risk, the Group develops strong, long term effective relationships with landholders with a focus on developing mutually acceptable access arrangements. The Group takes appropriate legal and technical advice to ensure it manages its compliance obligations appropriately. Mining tenements that the Group currently holds, or has applied for, are subject to Native Title claims. The Group has a policy that is respectful of the Native Title rights and is continuing to negotiate with relevant indigenous bodies. Environmental - All phases of mining and exploration present environmental risks and hazards. Platina’s operations in Australia and Greenland are subject to environmental regulation pursuant to a variety of state and municipal laws and regulations. Environmental legislation provides for, among other things, restrictions and prohibitions on spills, releases or emissions of various substances produced in association with mining operations. Compliance with such legislation can require significant expenditures and a breach may result in the imposition of fines and penalties, some of which may be material. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner expected to result in stricter standards and enforcement, larger fines and liability and potentially increased capital expenditures and operating costs. Environmental assessments of proposed projects carry a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and directors, officers and employees. The Group assesses each of its projects very carefully with respect to potential environmental issues, in conjunction with specific environmental regulations applicable to each project, prior to commencing field exploration. Periodic reviews are undertaken once field exploration commences. Safety - Safety is of critical importance in the planning, organisation and execution of Platina Resources exploration activities. Platina Resources is committed to providing and maintaining a working environment in which its employees are not exposed to hazards that will jeopardise an employee’s health, safety or the health and safety of others associated with our business. Platina Resources recognise that safety is both an individual and shared responsibility of all employees, contractors and other persons involved with the operation of the organisation. The Group has a comprehensive Safety and Health Management system, which is designed to minimise the risk of an uncontrolled safety and health event and to continuously improving safety culture within the organisation. Funding - the Group will require additional funding to continue exploration and potentially move from the exploration phase to the development phases of its projects. There is no certainty that the Group will have access to available financial resources sufficient to fund its exploration, feasibility or development costs at those times. The Group has no material financial commitments.  Market - there are numerous factors involved with exploration and early stage development of its projects, including variance in commodity price and labour costs, which can result in projects being uneconomical. ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS The Group’s operations are subject to significant environmental regulation under the law of the Australian Commonwealth and State and of Greenland. The Group has a policy of complying with its environmental obligations and at the date of this report, is not aware of any breach of such regulations. Directors’ Report PLATINA RESOURCES LIMITED Annual Report 2018 | 19 REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) This report outlays the remuneration arrangements in place for the Key Management Personnel (as defined under section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001) of Platina Resources Limited. The information provided in this remuneration report has been audited as required by section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001. The following were key management personnel of the consolidated entity at any time during the year and unless otherwise indicated were key management personnel for the year: Details of Key Management Personnel (i) Directors Brian Moller Robert Mosig Christopher Hartley John Anderson Paul Jurman Non-Executive Chairman Managing Director – resigned 5 January 2018 Non-Executive Director – appointed 1 January 2017, Executive Director from 5 January 2018 Non-Executive Director – appointed 9 April 2018 Non-Executive Director – appointed 5 January 2018, resigned 16 August 2018 Mr Corey Nolan was appointed as Managing Director, effective from 1 August 2018 and other than this appointment, there have been no other changes of Key Management Personnel after the reporting date and up to the date the financial report was authorised for issue. Remuneration philosophy The Board reviews the remuneration packages applicable to the executive Director and non-executive Directors on an annual basis. The broad remuneration policy is to ensure the remuneration package properly reflects the person’s duties and responsibilities and level of performance and that remuneration is competitive in attracting, retaining and motivating people of the highest quality. Independent advice on the appropriateness of remuneration packages is obtained, where necessary, although no such independent advice was sought during the financial year. Remuneration is not linked to past company performance but rather towards generating future shareholder wealth through share price performance. As a minerals explorer, the Company does not generate operating revenues or earnings and company performance, at this stage, can only be judged by exploration success and ultimately shareholder value. Market capitalisation is one measure of shareholder value but this is subject to many external factors over which the Company has no control. Consequently linking remuneration to past performance is difficult to implement and not in the best interests of the Company. Presently, total fixed remuneration for senior executives is determined by reference to market conditions and incentives for out- performance are provided by way of options or performance rights over unissued shares. The Directors believe that this best aligns the interests of the shareholders with those of the senior executives. All remuneration paid to key management personnel is valued at cost to the Group and charged to the profit and loss account as an expense or capitalised as part of exploration expenditure as appropriate. Shares given to directors and executives are valued as the difference between the market price of those shares and the amount paid by the director or executive. Options and performance rights are valued using the Black-Scholes methodology. There are no schemes for retirement benefits other than statutory superannuation for executive directors. Voting and comments made at the Company’s 2017 Annual General Meeting (AGM) – At the 2017 AGM, less than 1% of the votes received (excluding abstentions) did not support the adoption of the remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2017. The Company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM regarding its remuneration practices. 20 | PLATINA RESOURCES LIMITED Annual Report 2018 Directors’ Report REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) – CONTINUED Remuneration committee Given the size and scale of the Company’s operations, the full Board has undertaken the roles previously undertaken by the Remuneration Committee. The Board is considered to have sufficient legal, corporate, commercial and industry experience in the context of the Company’s affairs to properly assess the remuneration issues required by the Group. The Board assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration of Directors and senior managers on a periodical basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality board and management team. Remuneration structure In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive Directors and executive Director remuneration is separate and distinct. Non-executive Directors remuneration Objective The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level which provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders. Structure The Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of non-executive Directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. An amount not exceeding the amount determined is then divided between the directors as agreed. The present limit of approved aggregate remuneration is $250,000 per year. The Board reviews the remuneration packages applicable to the non-executive Directors on an annual basis. The Board considers fees paid to non-executive directors of comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process. The appointment conditions of the non-executive Chairman and the non-executive Directors are formalised in service agreements. Under the Constitution of the Group, these appointments, if not terminated sooner, end on the date of retirement by rotation. The Constitution requires one third of Directors retire each year at a general meeting of shareholders. If re-elected at future general meetings of shareholders, the appointments continue for further terms. It has been agreed that the Non-Executive directors shall each receive a fee of $50,000 plus statutory superannuation per annum effective from their appointment date. Mr Moller, as Chairman, is entitled to a fee of $57,800 per annum. Non-executive Directors may also be remunerated for additional specialised services performed at the request of the Board. Upon Mr Mosig’s resignation on 5 January 2018, the Company advised that Dr Hartley would be acting as an interim executive director, pending the appointment of a new CEO. The Company agreed that Chris Hartley’s remuneration was $1,100 per day (or pro-rata thereof), for 12 days per calendar month, effective from 5 January 2018. The remuneration of the non-executive Directors for the year ending 30 June 2018 and 30 June 2017 is detailed in Table 1 of this report. Directors’ Report PLATINA RESOURCES LIMITED Annual Report 2018 | 21 REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) - CONTINUED Managing Directors remuneration Objective The Company aims to reward the Managing Director with a level of remuneration commensurate with his position and responsibilities within the Company and so as to: • align the interests of the Managing Director with those of shareholders; • link reward with the strategic goals and performance of the Company; and • ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards. Structure Remuneration consists of the following key elements: • Fixed remuneration • Variable remuneration Fixed remuneration The level of fixed remuneration is set so as to provide a base level of remuneration that is both appropriate to the position and is competitive in the market. Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Board and the process consists of a review of companywide, business unit and individual performance, relevant comparative remuneration in the market and internal and, where appropriate, external advice on policies and practice. Mr Mosig renewed his employment agreement with the Company in November 2016 to be Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr Mosig was entitled to be paid an annual salary of $323,000, including statutory superannuation. Mr Mosig could also receive an annual bonus in addition to his annual remuneration (excluding the statutory superannuation) upon the achievement of certain performance criteria and at the Board’s discretion. There was no bonus paid during the year ended 30 June 2018 or 30 June 2017. The duties were those as are customarily expected of a Managing Director and from time to time delegated by the Board. The agreement was terminated on 5 January 2018 and Mr Mosig was paid the equivalent of 3 months’ salary in lieu of notice. Mr Corey Nolan entered into an executive services agreement with the Company on 14 May 2018, effective from 1 August 2018 to act as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr Nolan is paid an annual salary of $323,000, including statutory superannuation. Mr Nolan can also receive an annual bonus of up to 50% of the annual remuneration (excluding the statutory superannuation) upon the achievement of certain performance criteria. The duties are those as are customarily expected of a Managing Director and from time to time delegated by the Board. The agreement is terminable by either party on six months written notice. At the general meeting of shareholders held on 16 August 2018, shareholders approved the issue to Mr Nolan of: • 4,000,000 options exercisable at $0.20 on or before 31 December 2019; and • 2,000,000 Performance Rights, free of any consideration, convertible into fully paid Shares on the basis of one Performance Right converts to one Share subject to meeting agreed KPI’s over a 2-year period. Executive Director remuneration for the year ending 30 June 2018 and 30 June 2017 is detailed in Table 1 of this report. 22 | PLATINA RESOURCES LIMITED Annual Report 2018 Directors’ Report REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) - CONTINUED Variable remuneration – Long Term Incentive (‘LTI’) Objective The objective of the LTI plan is to reward executives and senior managers in a manner that aligns this element of remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth. As such LTI grants are only made to executives who are able to influence the generation of shareholder wealth and thus have a direct impact on the Group’s performance. Structure LTI grants to Key Management Personnel are delivered in the form of options and performance rights. The issue of options / performance rights as part of the remuneration packages of executive and non-executive directors is an established practice of junior public listed companies and, in the case of the Company, has the benefit of conserving cash whilst properly rewarding each of the directors. Performance Rights Plan (PRP) Shareholders approved the Company’s PRP at the Annual General Meeting held on 27 November 2015. The PRP is designed to provide a framework for competitive and appropriate remuneration so as to retain and motivate skilled and qualified personnel whose personal rewards are aligned with the achievement of the Company’s growth and strategic objectives. Employee Option Incentive Plan (“EOIP”) Shareholders last approved the Platina Resources Limited EOIP at the General Meeting on 28 April 2017. The EOIP is designed to provide incentives, assist in the recruitment, reward and retention of employees or key consultants. Participation in the plan is at the Board’s discretion and no individual has a contractual right to participate in the plan or receive any guaranteed benefit. Directors’ Report PLATINA RESOURCES LIMITED Annual Report 2018 | 23 REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) - CONTINUED Table 1: Remuneration details The following table details, in respect to the financial years ended 30 June 2018 and 2017, the components of remuneration for each key management person of the Group.

In May 2017, following shareholder approval, Mr Moller and Dr Hartley were each granted 2 million unlisted options exercisable at $0.20 expiring on 31 December 2019 whose combined value has been estimated at $90,600 over the vesting period and the charge to the profit and loss account for the reporting period is $33,848 (2017 - $5,842). In November 2016, following shareholder approval, Mr Mosig was granted 1 million (2016: 5 million) performance rights whose value was estimated at $55,620 (2017 - $175,000). These performance rights were valued over the vesting period and following Mr Mosig’s resignation on 5 January 2018, the charges previously recognised in the profit and loss account were reversed as the performance rights lapsed on resignation and did not vest. The reversal of previously recognised expenses on unvested performance rights for the reporting period is $67,107 (2017 – share based payment expense $50,663). In May 2017, following shareholder approval, Mr Mosig was granted 6 million unlisted options exercisable at $0.20 expiring on 31 December 2019 whose value was estimated at $135,900 over the vesting period and following Mr Mosig’s resignation on 5 January 2018, the charges previously recognised in the profit and loss account were reversed as the options did not vest.

These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for the Consolidated Entity (or “Group”) consisting of Platina Resources Limited (“Company”) and the entities it controlled from time to time throughout the year. For the purpose of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Company is a for-profit entity. a. Basis of preparation The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, the Corporations Act 2001 and other requirements of the law and Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). The financial report has been prepared on a historical cost basis, except where otherwise stated. The financial report is presented in Australian dollars. The Company is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia that has operated during the year in Australia and Greenland. The Group’s principal activities are evaluation and exploration of mineral interests, prospective for precious metals and other mineral deposits. b. Statement of compliance with IFRS The financial report was authorised for issue on 26 September 2018. It complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes thereto, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). c. Going Concern The financial report for the year ended 30 June 2018 is prepared on a going concern basis. The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is principally dependent upon the ability of the Group to secure funds by raising capital from equity markets, or sale of projects, and managing cash flow in line with available funds. The Group’s operations require the raising of capital on an on-going basis to fund its planned exploration program and to commercialize its projects. The Company recorded a loss after tax of $393,453 for the year ended 30 June 2018 and has accumulated losses of $18,785,593 and has a year end cash balance of $4.17m. Management has prepared a detailed cash flow forecast for the next 12 months from the date of this report, and the directors are satisfied that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate and as a result the directors do not believe there is any material uncertainty in respect of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future. d. Basis of Consolidation Controlled Entities The financial statements of controlled entities are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date control commences until the date control ceases. The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase method of accounting involves allocating the cost of the business combination to the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed at date of acquisition. Details of controlled entities at balance date are included in Note 21. Notes to the Financial Statements PLATINA RESOURCES LIMITED Annual Report 2018 | 33 , NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) e. New standards and interpretations not yet adopted A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for future periods reporting, but have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. Those which may be relevant to the Group are set out below. The Group does not plan to adopt these standards early. (i) A summary of the most significant new standards is as follows: AASB 9 Financial Instruments • • • • Replaces AASB 139 for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 Revised guidance on classification and measurement of financial instruments New ‘expected credit loss’ model for calculating impairment on financial assets Changes to the conditions required to apply hedge accounting Apart from changing naming conventions, the Group does not expect the Standard to have any impact as the Group does not have any complex financial instruments AASB 15 Revenue from Contract with Customers • • • Replaces AASB 118 Revenue, AASB 111 Construction Contracts and Interpretation 13 Customer Loyalty Programs for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. Establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognised. The 5-step process for recognising revenue removes the focus from the transfer of “risk and reward” to identification and completion of “performance obligations.” At this stage the Group has not entered into any contracts with customers and it is therefore difficult to predict what form any future contracts may take. As a result, management do not expect any impact from this standard. AASB 16 Leases • • • • Replaces AASB 117 Leases for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. Requires lessees to record substantially all leases to be included in the Statement of Financial Position. Requires all leases to be amortised over the lease term. The interest component of the lease cost to be expensed, while the principal component offsets the liability in the Statement of Financial Position. There are no changes expected for lessors in the way that leases are accounted for. At this stage the Group is yet to assess the expected impact of this Standard, but historically has not used extensive Lease facilities. 34 | PLATINA RESOURCES LIMITED Annual Report 2018 Notes to the Financial Statements NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) f. Income Tax The income tax expense (benefit) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income). Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at the end of the reporting period. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority. Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well as unused tax losses. Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantially, enacted at the end of the reporting period. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability. Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right to set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled. g. Property, Plant and Equipment Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Plant and equipment Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis. The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts. All repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred. Depreciation The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives to the Group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are: Class of Fixed Asset Depreciation Rate Plant and equipment 7.5% -40% Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the statement of comprehensive income. Notes to the Financial Statements PLATINA RESOURCES LIMITED Annual Report 2018 | 35 ,NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) h. Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure Costs in relation to exploration and evaluation expenditure are capitalised to the extent that: i. the rights to tenure of the areas of interest are current and the Group controls the area of interest in which the expenditure has been incurred; ii. such costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest, or alternatively by its sale; or iii. 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. The statement of comprehensive income will recognise expenses arising from the excess of the carrying values of exploration and evaluation assets over the recoverable amounts of these assets. Expenditure capitalised under the above policy is amortised over the life of the area of interest from the date that commercial production of the related mineral occurs. In the event that an area of interest is abandoned or if the directors consider the expenditure to be of no value, accumulated expenditure carried forward is written off in the year in which that assessment is made. i. Leases Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred. Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease term. j. Investments Investments are valued at fair value as available-for-sale financial assets, as described below. The fair value is assessed from the shares’ current market value. k. Financial Instruments Recognition Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value on trade date, which includes transaction costs, when the related contractual rights or obligations exist. Subsequent to initial recognition these instruments are measured as set out below. Loans and receivables These financial assets consist of trade and other receivables, which are measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. There is a significant concentration of credit risk with the Australia Taxation Office, however management considers credit risk of this entity to be extremely low. Individually significant receivables are considered for impairment when they are past due or when other objective evidence is received that a specific counterparty will default. Receivables that are not considered to be individually impaired are reviewed for impairment in groups, which are determined by reference to the industry and region of a counterparty and other shared credit risk characteristics. The impairment loss estimate is then based on recent historical counterparty default rates for each identified group. Financial Assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets are valued at ‘fair value through profit or loss’ when they are either held for trading for the purpose of short term profit taking, derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or when they are designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in carrying value being included in profit or loss. Held-to-maturity investments These investments have fixed maturities, and it is the Group’s intention to hold these investments to maturity. Any held-to- maturity investments held by the Group are stated at amortised cost. 36 | PLATINA RESOURCES LIMITED Annual Report 2018 Notes to the Financial Statements NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) k. Financial Instruments (Continued) Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale financial assets include any financial assets not included in the above categories. Available-for-sale financial assets are reflected at fair value. Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are taken directly to equity, except where losses are considered to be prolonged and extensive, in which case such losses are recognised in profit or loss. Financial liabilities Non-derivative financial liabilities are recognised at amortised cost, comprising original debt less principal payments and amortisation. Fair Value Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Impairment At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in profit and loss. l. Impairment of Assets At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to profit and loss. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. m. Employee Benefits Short-term employee benefits, including wages and payments made to defined contribution superannuation funds, are recognised when incurred. Provision is made for the Group’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Other non-current employment benefit obligations are discounted using market yields on corporate bonds. n. Equity settled compensation The Group operates share-based compensation plans for employees. The element over the exercise price of the employee services rendered in exchange for the grant of shares and options is recognised as an expense in the statement of comprehensive income. The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted. o. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of twelve months or less, and bank overdrafts. Where applicable, bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position. p. Revenue and Other income Interest revenues are recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST). Other income is recognised when the Group obtains a contractual right to obtain the income. Notes to the Financial Statements PLATINA RESOURCES LIMITED Annual Report 2018 | 37 NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) q. Goods and Services Tax (GST) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In 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 in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST. Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows. r. Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefit will result and that outflow can be reliably measured. No provision has yet been recognised for mine restoration and rehabilitation costs because the definition above has not yet been satisfied in relation to any of the areas of interest operated by the Group. s. Trade and Other Payables Trade and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods and services received by the Group during the reporting period which remains unpaid. The balance recognised as a current liability with the amount being normally within 30 days of reconciliation of the liability. t. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial statements based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group. Key Estimates — Impairment The Group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Value-in-use calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates, such as the likelihood of the Group continuing to explore the area of interest for the foreseeable future, estimated production volumes and estimated extraction costs. The Group maximises external inputs by referring to scoping and feasibility studies prepared by external experts. The Group performs a regular review of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward expenditure in relation to that area of interest. The review requires a number of estimates to be made. An impairment of $345,106 has been recognised for the year ended 30 June 2018 (2017: $Nil), in respect of capitalised exploration costs for areas of interest. The factor that led to the impairment was a decision by management not to renew the exploration license for one of the areas of interest in Greenland. Key Judgements — Capitalisation of Exploration Costs All expenditure incurred by the Group, including employee benefits, is assessed as to whether it should be capitalized as exploration and evaluation expenditure or expensed through the statement of comprehensive income. This requires some judgement; however expenditure is capitalized to the extent the Group believes it meets the criteria as set out in AASB 6 Exploration Expenditure. Key Judgements - Share Based Payments The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value of options with non-market conditions is determined by an internal valuation using a Black-Scholes option pricing model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The fair value of performance rights with market conditions is determined by using a Black-Scholes option pricing model or Barrier model simulation taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. 38 | PLATINA RESOURCES LIMITED Annual Report 2018 Notes to the Financial Statements NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) u. Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances Functional and presentation currency The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the parent entity’s functional currency. Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined. Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge. Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in other comprehensive income to the extent that the underlying gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income; otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in profit or loss. Foreign exchange differences relating to qualifying assets are capitalised. Costs incurred in mining exploration are considered to be part of qualifying assets and can be capitalised. v.

Segment Information Identification of reportable segments $ .096 0.10 The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. The Group is managed primarily on the basis of geographical locations as these locations have notably different risk profiles and performance assessment criteria. Operating segments are therefore determined on the same basis. Reportable segments disclosed are based on aggregating operating segments where the segments are considered to have similar economic characteristics and are similar with respect to any external regulatory requirements. Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments 50 | PLATINA RESOURCES LIMITED Annual Report 2018 Notes to the Financial Statements NOTE 19 OPERATING SEGMENTS (Continued) (a) Accounting policies adopted Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors, being the chief decision maker with respect to operating segments, are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent to those adopted in the annual financial statements of the Group. (b) Segment assets Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated to that segment that receives majority economic value from that asset. In the majority of instances, segment assets are clearly identifiable on the basis of their nature and physical location. (c) Segment liabilities Liabilities are allocated to segments where there is a direct nexus between the incurrence of the liability and the operations of the segment. Segment liabilities include trade and other payables and deferred tax liabilities. (d) Unallocated items The following items of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities are not allocated to operating segments as they are not considered part of the core operations of any segment:  Derivatives   Impairment of assets and other non-recurring items of revenue or expense Income tax expense  Deferred tax assets and liabilities  Current tax liabilities  Other financial liabilities  Intangible assets  Discontinuing operations i.

The main risks and related risk management policies arising from the Group’s financial instruments are summarised below. Credit Risk The maximum exposure to credit risk at balance date to recognised financial assets, net of any provisions for doubtful debts, is disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to and forming part of the financial report. Interest Rate Risk The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk is the risk that an increase or decrease in market interest rates will result in increased or reduced revenue from interest receipts. The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk is minimal. Liquidity Risk The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows. The Group’s operations require the raising of capital on an on- going basis to fund its planned exploration program and to commercialise its tenement assets. The Group’s past success in the raising of capital will ensure it can continue as a going concern and proceed with planned exploration expenditure. Net Fair Values The net fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities approximate their carrying value. No financial assets and financial liabilities are readily traded on organised markets in standardised form except for the investment disclosed in Note 12. The aggregate net fair values and carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities are disclosed in the statement of financial position and in the notes to and forming part of the financial report. The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk and effective average interest rate for classes of financial assets and financial liabilities is set out below.

Other than the conversion to the spot rate of the Deferred Tax Liability that arose in Greenland, the foreign currency to the Group is considered immaterial and is therefore not discussed further.

Corey Nolan Managing Director Brisbane Date: 26 September 2018 57| PLATINA RESOURCES LIMITED Annual Report 2018 Shareholder Information INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE DIRECTORS OF PLATINA RESOURCES LIMITED Opinion We have audited the financial report of Platina Resources Limited (“the Company”, and its controlled entities (the “Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2018 and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the director’s declaration. In our opinion, the consolidated 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 2018 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; 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 auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Australian 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, has been provided to the directors of the Company at the same time as this report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional 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. Key Audit Matter Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure - $27,393,532 (Refer to Note 11) As disclosed in note 11 to the financial statements, as at 30 June 2018, capitalised exploration costs totaled $27,393,532. Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure is considered to be a key audit matter due to: • • required level of judgement The significance of the balance to the Consolidated Entity’s consolidated financial position, as it is the largest asset. in evaluating The management’s application of the requirements of AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources. AASB 6 is an industry specific accounting standard judgements, requiring estimates and industry knowledge. This includes specific requirements for expenditure to be capitalised as an asset and subsequent requirements which must be complied with for capitalised expenditure to continue to be carried as an asset. the application of significant How our audit addressed the key audit matter Our procedures included, amongst others: • Assessing management’s determination of its areas of interest for consistency with the definition in AASB 6. This involved analysing the tenements in which the consolidated entity holds an interest and the exploration programmes planned for those tenements. For each area of interest, we assessed the Consolidated Entity’s rights to tenure by corroborating to government registries and evaluating agreements in place with other parties as applicable. • • We tested the additions to capitalised expenditure for the year by evaluating a sample of recorded expenditure for consistency the capitalisation requirements of the Consolidated Entity’s accounting policy and the requirements of AASB 6. to underlying records, • We considered the activities in each area of interest to date and assessed the planned future activities for each area of interest by evaluating budgets for each area of interest. 58| PLATINA RESOURCES LIMITED Annual Report 2018 Shareholder Information INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE DIRECTORS OF PLATINA RESOURCES LIMITED Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure - $27,393,532 (Refer to Note 11) - continued The assessment of • evaluation expenditure being inherently difficult. impairment of exploration and • Expenditure is incurred and assets recognised in multiple • We assessed each area of interest for one or more of the following circumstances that may indicate impairment of the capitalised expenditure: o the licenses for the right to explore expiring in the near future or are not expected to be renewed; jurisdictions. o substantive expenditure for further exploration in the specific area is neither budgeted or planned; o decisions by regulators in the various jurisdictions in respect of expenditure commitments that might impact the viability of the entity carrying forward the expenditure; o the results of pre-feasibility studies by external agencies on relevant areas of interest; o decision or intent by the Consolidated Entity to discontinue activities in the specific area of interest due to lack of commercially viable quantities of resources; and o data indicating that, although a development in the specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the exploration asset is unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development of sale. the appropriateness of the disclosures in note 11 to the financial statements. related • We assessed Information Other than the Financial Report and Auditor's Report Thereon The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group's annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018, but does not include the financial report and our 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 this other information, we are required to report that fact. W e 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. 59| PLATINA RESOURCES LIMITED Annual Report 2018 Shareholder Information INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE DIRECTORS OF PLATINA RESOURCES LIMITED Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. As part of an audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: • • • • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report (continued) Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. • • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. W e remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with those charged with governance 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 the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. 60| PLATINA RESOURCES LIMITED Annual Report 2018 Shareholder Information INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE DIRECTORS OF PLATINA RESOURCES LIMITED Report on the Remuneration Report Opinion on the Remuneration Report We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors' report for the year ended 30 June 2018.

The Board guides and monitors the business and affairs of Platina Resources Limited on behalf of the shareholders by whom they are elected and to whom they are accountable. The Group’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 the extent to which they have complied with the ASX Best Practice Recommendations of the ASX Corporate Governance Council in the reporting period. A description of the Company’s main corporate governance practices is set out below. The Corporate Governance Statement is current as at 30 June 2018 and has been approved by the Board of Directors. All these practices, unless otherwise stated, were in place for the entire year. They comply with the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (3rd edition), however, a number of those principles and recommendations are directed towards listed companies considerably larger than Platina Resources Limited, whose circumstances and requirements accordingly differ markedly from the Company's. For example, the nature of the Company's operations and the size of its staff mean that a number of the Board committees and other governance structures recommended by the CGC are not only unnecessary in Platina’s case, but the effort and expense required to establish and maintain them would, in the directors' view, be an unjustified diversion of shareholders' funds. Since the departure of Mr Robert Mosig on 5 January 2018 as Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, the Company did not have a CEO / MD until the appointment of Mr Corey Nolan on 1 August 2018 and a number of the Company's governance practices were affected during the period. As the Group's activities develop in size, nature and scope, the size of the Board and the implementation of additional corporate governance structures will be given further consideration. The Company’s website at www.platinaresources.com.au contains a corporate governance section that includes copies of the Company’s corporate governance policies. Roles and Responsibilities of the Board and Management ASX CGC Principle 1 Lay solid foundations for management and oversight. Role of the Board The Board of Directors is pivotal in the relationship between shareholders and management and the role and responsibilities of the Board underpin corporate governance. The Board is committed to administering the policies and procedures with openness and integrity, pursuing the true spirit of corporate governance commensurate with the Group’s needs. Generally, the powers and obligations of the Board are governed by the Corporations Act and the general law. Without limiting those matters, the Board expressly considers itself responsible for the following:  Ensuring compliance with the Corporations Act, ASX Listing Rules (where appropriate) and all relevant laws;  Oversight of the Group including its framework of control and accountability systems to enable risk to be assessed and managed;  Appointing and removing the chief executive officer;  Ratifying the appointment and, where appropriate, removal of senior executives including the chief financial officer and the Group secretary;  Input into and final approval of management’s development of corporate strategy and performance objectives;  Monitoring senior executive’s performance and implementation of strategy;  Ensuring appropriate resources are available to senior executives;  Approving and monitoring the progress of major capital expenditure, capital management and acquisitions and divestitures;  Approving and overseeing Committees where appropriate to assist in the Board’s function and powers. 66 | PLATINA RESOURCES LIMITED Annual Report 2018 Corporate Governance Statement The Functions, Powers and Responsibilities of the Board are set out in the Company’s Corporate Governance Charter which is available from the corporate governance section of the Group’s website. The board meets on a regular basis to review the performance of the Company against its goals both financial and non-financial. In normal circumstances, prior to the scheduled board meetings, each board member is provided with a formal board package containing appropriate management and financial reports. Appropriate background checks are conducted on proposed new directors and material information about a director being re-elected is provided to security holders. Written agreements are entered in to with directors and senior management clearly setting out their roles and responsibilities. The company secretary works directly with the chair and the managing director on the functioning of all board and committee procedures. Diversity The Group is committed to workplace diversity and ensuring a diverse mix of skills amongst its directors, officers and employees. Recommendation 1.5 requires that listed entities should establish a policy concerning diversity. Whilst the Group does not currently have a Diversity policy due to its size and nature of its operations, it strives to attract the best person for the position regardless of gender, age, ethnicity or cultural background. As at 30 June 2018, the proportion of women in the whole organisation is as follows: Male 100% 100% 100% Female 0% 0% 0% Board Members Officers Other Performance Evaluation The Board (in carrying out the functions of the Remuneration and Nomination Committees) considers remuneration and nomination issues annually and otherwise as required in conjunction with the regular meetings of the Board. Due to the size of the Board and the nature of its business, it has not been deemed necessary to institute a formal documented performance review program of individuals. The Chairman conducted an informal review during the financial year whereby the performance of the Board as a whole and the individual contributions of each director were discussed. The Board considers that at this stage of the Company’s development an informal process is appropriate. Corporate Governance Statement PLATINA RESOURCES LIMITED Annual Report 2018 | 67 Board Composition ASX CGC Principle 2 Structure of the Board to add value Nomination Committee Recommendation 2.1 requires the Board to establish a nomination committee. Although the Board has adopted a Nominations Committee Charter, the Board has not formally established a Nominations Committee as the Directors consider that the Company is currently not of a size nor are its affairs of such complexity as to justify the formation of this Committee. The Board as a whole is able to address these issues and is guided by the Nominations Committee Charter. The Company will review this position annually and determine whether a Nominations Committee needs to be established. The Nomination Committee Charter is set out in the Company’s Corporate Governance Charter which is available from the corporate governance section of the Group’s website. The Company is developing an appropriate board skills matrix. The skills, experience and expertise relevant to the position of each director who is in office at the date of the Annual Report is detailed in the director’s report. Corporate Governance Council Recommendation 2.4 requires a majority of the Board to be independent Directors. The Corporate Governance Council defines independence as being free from any interest, position, association or relationship that might influence, or reasonably be perceived to influence, in a material capacity to bring independent judgement to bear on issues before the board and to act in the best interests of the entity and its security holders generally. In the context of Director independence, “materiality” is considered from both the Group and the individual Director perspective. The determination of materiality requires consideration of both quantitative and qualitative elements. An item is presumed to be material (unless there is qualitative evidence to the contrary) if it is equal to or greater than 10% of the appropriate base amount. Qualitative factors considered included whether a relationship is strategically important, the competitive landscape, the nature of the relationship and the contractual or other arrangements governing it and other factors which point to the actual ability of the Director in question to shape the direction of the Group. In accordance with the Council’s definition of independence above and the materiality thresholds set, the Directors listed below are not considered to be independent and therefore the Group does not currently comply with Recommendation 2.4: Name Robert Mosig Brian Moller Chris Hartley Position Reason for non-compliance Managing Director Mr Mosig was employed by the Group in an executive capacity until his resignation on 5 January 2018. Non-Executive Director Non-Executive Director Mr Moller is a principal of a material professional advisor to the Group. Dr Hartley acted as an interim executive director from 5 January 2018. Prior to 5 January 2018, he was considered independent. Mr Jurman is a director of Corporate Consultants Pty Ltd, who provides accounting and company secretarial services to the Group. Paul Jurman Non-Executive Director The Group’s Non-Executive Director, John Anderson, appointed on 9 April 2018 is considered independent. 68 | PLATINA RESOURCES LIMITED Annual Report 2018 Corporate Governance Statement Platina Resources Limited considers industry experience and specific expertise, as well as general corporate experience, to be important attributes of its Board members. The Directors noted above have been appointed to the Board of Platina Resources Limited due to their considerable industry and corporate experience. The term in office held by each Director in office at the date of this report is as follows: Name Brian Moller Corey Nolan Term in Office 12 years 7 months 2 months Christopher Hartley 1 year 9 months John Anderson 5 months Directors have the right to seek independent professional advice in the furtherance of their duties as directors at the Group’s expense. Written approval must be obtained from the chair prior to incurring any expense on behalf of the Group. Informal induction is provided to any new directors. Act Ethically and Responsibly ASX CGC Principle 3 Code of Conduct The Directors are subject to certain stringent legal requirements regulating the conduct both in terms of their internal conduct as directors and in their external dealings with third parties both on their own and on behalf of the Group. To assist directors in discharging their duty to the Group and in compliance with relevant laws to which they are subject, the Group has adopted a Corporate Ethics Policy and Corporate Code of Conduct within its Corporate Governance Charter. The Corporate Ethics Policy sets out rules binding Directors in respect of:   a Director’s legal duties as an officer of the Company; a Director’s obligations to make disclosures to the ASX and the market generally; and  dealings by Directors in shares in the Company. The Corporate Ethics Policy, as set out in the Company’s Corporate Governance Charter is available from the corporate governance section of the Group’s website. Safeguard Integrity in Corporate Reporting ASX CGC Principle 4 Audit Committee The Company does not have an audit committee. The Board considers that the Company is not currently of a size, nor are its affairs of such complexity, to justify the formation of separate or special committees at this time. The Board as a whole is able to address the governance aspects of the full scope of the Company’s activities and to ensure that it adheres to appropriate ethical standards. In particular, the full Board considers those matters that would usually be the responsibility of an audit committee. The Board considers that no efficiencies or other benefits would be gained by establishing a separate audit committee. External Auditors The Company requires external auditors to demonstrate quality and independence. The performance of the external auditor is reviewed and applications for tender of external audit services are requested as deemed appropriate, taking into consideration assessment of performance, existing value and tender costs. It is Bentley’s policy to rotate audit engagement partners on listed companies at least every 5 years. Corporate Governance Statement PLATINA RESOURCES LIMITED Annual Report 2018 | 69 Certification of financial reports The Managing Director has made the following certifications to the Board:   That the Group’s financial reports are complete and present a true and fair view, in all material respects, of the financial position and performance of the Group and are in accordance with relevant accounting standards; The integrity of the reports is founded on a sound system of financial risk management and internal compliance and control. The Company Secretary has made the following certifications to the Board:   That the Group’s financial reports are complete and present a true and fair view, in all material respects, of the financial position and performance of the Group and are in accordance with relevant accounting standards; The integrity of the reports is founded on sound system of financial risk management and internal compliance and control. The Group ensures that its external auditors are present at the AGM to answer any questions with regard to the efficacy of the financial statement audit and the associated independent audit report. Continuance Disclosure ASX CGC Principle 5 Make timely and balanced disclosure The Group duly complies with ASX and ASIC requirements for the timely and accurate reporting of the Group’s financial activities, thus ensuring that the Group has disclosed all information that has a material impact on shareholders. This includes the Annual Financial Report, Interim Financial Report, quarterly cash flows, new and relinquished tenements and changes in directors and shareholder interests and other events that are identified to be material. All ASX announcements are available on the Group’s website. The Company Secretary is responsible for communication with the ASX, including responsibility for ensuring compliance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the ASX Listing Rules and oversight of information distributed to the ASX. Respect The Rights of Security Holders ASX CGC Principle 6 The Board of directors undertakes to ensure that shareholders are informed of all major developments affecting the Group. Information is communicated to shareholders through the annual report, interim financial report, announcements made to the ASX, notices of Annual General and Extraordinary General Meetings, the AGM and Extraordinary General Meetings. The Board encourages full participation of shareholders at Annual and Extraordinary General Meetings to ensure a high level of accountability and identification with the Group’s direction, strategy and goals. In particular, shareholders are responsible for voting on the re-election of directors. The Group also offers shareholders the option to receive ASX announcements and other notices from the Company electronically. 70 | PLATINA RESOURCES LIMITED Annual Report 2018 Corporate Governance Statement Risk Management ASX CGC Principle 7 Recognise and manage risk Although the Board has adopted an Audit and Risk Committee Charter, the Board has not formally established an Audit and Risk Committee as the Directors consider that the Company is currently not of a size nor are its affairs of such complexity as to justify the formation of this Committee. The Board is considered to have sufficient technical, legal and industry experience in the context of the Company’s affairs to properly assess the risks facing the Group. The Company believes that given the size and nature of its operations, non-compliance by the Company with Recommendation 7.1 will not be detrimental to the Company. The Company will review this position annually and determine whether an Audit and Risk Committee needs to be established. The Company has developed a basic framework for risk management and internal compliance and control systems which cover organisational, financial and operational aspects of the Company’s affairs. Recommendation 7.2 requires that the Board review the Company’s risk management framework and disclose whether such a review has taken place. Business risks are considered regularly by the Board and management at management and Board meetings. A formal report to the Board as to the effectiveness of the management of the Company’s material business risks has not been formally undertaken. The Audit and Risk Management Committee Charter is set out in the Company’s Corporate Governance Charter which is available from the corporate governance section of the Group’s website. The Company does not have a separate internal audit function. The board considers that the Company is not currently of the size or complexity to justify a separate internal audit function, and that appropriate internal financial controls are in place. Such controls are monitored by senior financial management and the Audit and Risk Committee. The Director’s Report sets out some of the key risks relevant to the Company and its operations. Although not specifically defined as such, the risks include economic, environmental and social sustainability risks. As noted above, the Company regularly reviews risks facing the Company and adopts appropriate mitigation strategies where possible. Remuneration ASX CGC Principle 8 Remunerate fairly and responsibly Remuneration Committee The Board previously had established a Remuneration Committee that operated under a charter approved by the Board. The Board decided that given the size and scale of operations, the full Board would undertake the roles previously undertaken by the Remuneration Committee. The Board is considered to have sufficient legal, corporate, commercial and industry experience in the context of the Company’s affairs to properly assess the remuneration issues required by the Group. The Company believes that given the size and nature of its operations, non-compliance by the Company with Recommendation 8.1 will not be detrimental to the Company. It is the Company’s objective to provide maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality Board and Executive team by remunerating directors and key executives fairly and appropriately with reference to relevant employment market conditions. To assist in achieving this objective, the Board links the nature and amount of executive director’s and officer’s remuneration to the Group’s financial and operations performance. The expected outcomes of the remuneration structure are:   retention and motivation of key Executives attraction of quality management to the Group  performance incentives which allow executives, management and staff to share the rewards of the success of Platina Resources Limited. Corporate Governance Statement PLATINA RESOURCES LIMITED Annual Report 2018 | 71 For details on the amount of remuneration and all monetary and non-monetary components for Key Management Personnel during the period, please refer to the Remuneration Report within the Directors’ Report. In relation to the payment of bonuses, options and other incentive payments, discretion is exercised by the Board, having regard to the overall performance of Platina Resources Limited and the performance of the individual during the period. There is no scheme to provide retirement benefits to directors other than statutory superannuation. The Remuneration Committee Charter is set out in the Company’s Corporate Governance Charter which is available from the corporate governance section of the Group’s website. Remuneration Policy The Group’s remuneration policy is also further detailed in the Remuneration Report in the Directors Report. Non-Executive Director Remuneration Non-executive directors are remunerated at market rates for time, commitment and responsibilities. Non-executive directors are remunerated by fees as determined by the Board with the aggregate directors’ fee pool limit of $250,000, as listed on 29 May 2006. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Independent consultancy sources provide advice, as required; ensuring remuneration is in accordance with market practice. Fees for non-executive Directors are not linked to the performance of the Group. However, to align Directors’ interests with shareholders interests, the Directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company and are, subject to approval by shareholders, periodically offered options and/or performance rights. The Company has adopted a Trading Policy that includes a prohibition on hedging, aimed at ensuring participants do not enter in to arrangements which would have the effect of limiting their exposure to risk relating to an element of their remuneration. Other Information Further information relating to the Group’s corporate governance practices and policies has been made publicly available on the Group’s web site.
