In April 2023, the company achieved a significant milestone by entering into a binding sale agreement for the Platina Scandium Project (PSP), with a potential value of up to US$14 million. This sale represents the culmination of the strategic shift away from platinum and specialty metal projects, marking a decisive transition towards gold projects. Platina's decision to redirect its focus stems from its belief in its substantial expertise and experience in the realm of gold projects. The sale of the PSP will also allow Platina shareholders to benefit from a significant injection of new funding to advance its newly created gold portfolio and pursue other more advanced project opportunities, minimising shareholder dilution. Our updated strategic positioning offers an advantageous opportunity for substantial share price growth tied to the success of our high-potential exploration projects in a top-tier gold jurisdiction. Our vision is to become a leading gold company by exploring our high-potential projects and leveraging cutting-edge technology, innovative strategies, and the knowledge of our highly skilled technical team. Shareholder value is created by advancing these projects through exploration, feasibility, and permitting, and monetising through either sale, joint venture or development. Commitment to sustainable and responsible practises, ensures the long-term prosperity of local communities, and the preservation of the environment and cultural heritage. The cornerstones of our innovative gold strategy are built upon the following pillars: Focused on Western Australia • Operating within a premier mining jurisdiction that offers exceptional tier one discovery and appraisal prospects • Utilising sophisticated geological and drilling expertise • Benefitting from high-quality infrastructure proximate to exploration and development opportunities Strong Technical Proficiency • Marrying geological interpretation with data-driven, inventive exploration targeting • • Proven adeptness in feasibility assessment and permitting processes Established track record in successfully identifying and executing new acquisitions • Backed by a strong balance sheet to maximise investment in-ground Platina Resources Limited Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 4 Centred on Gold • Capitalising on gold prices trading close to historic highs in both US$ and A$ denominations • Augmented opportunities for project financing for exploration and development Although our business currently maintains an environmentally conscious approach with minimal impact, we remain acutely aware of the importance of meticulously overseeing every facet of land clearing and water management for our exploration and appraisal activities. We also respectfully acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land in which we operate. We pay our respect to all the elders, past, present and emerging, who carry deep knowledge of these lands, and we commit to being open to receive this knowledge and incorporate it into the work we do. We recognise their continuing connection to the land, waters and culture in the areas we operate. Platina now stands in a favourable position to effectively implement its strategy across its array of gold projects. The plans for drilling, along with the progress in obtaining statutory and cultural heritage approvals, are at an advanced stage, reflecting the company's commitment to enhancing value through strategic drilling activities. Yours faithfully, Brian Moller Non-Executive Chairman Platina Resources Limited Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 5 Review of Operations Platina Resources Limited Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 6 Projects Overview Platina Resources Limited controls a 100% interest in a portfolio of gold projects in the Yilgarn Craton and Ashburton Basins in Western Australia following the sale of the Platina Scandium Project subsequent to the financial year end.

Platina Resources Limited Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 8 Xanadu Gold Project Ashburton Basin, Western Australia Ownership 100% The Xanadu Gold Project is located in the Ashburton Basin in close proximity to the multi-million ounce Mt Olympus gold deposit owned by ASX-listed Kalamazoo Resources Limited (ASX: KZR). Xanadu comprises seven prospecting licences and six exploration licences covering 554km2. Access to the project is from the regional mining centre of Paraburdoo 38km to the north. Xanadu has been the subject of a number of mainly shallow drilling programs and a historical gold heap leach operation. The project has immense appeal given the number and width of economic grade gold drill intercepts which have never been followed up with a systematic exploration campaign. Xanadu is located within a large alteration system hosted within sediments and dolomites on the edge of the Pilbara craton. The geological setting is considered prospective for intrusion related gold mineralisation such as the Hemi discovery (De Grey Mining) and the Telfer Gold Mine (Newcrest) in the Proterozoic sediments. The project also displays strong similarities to the Carlin gold deposits in Nevada, USA. Figure 2. Map showing the Xanadu Project location with interpreted regional geology underlain by Google satellite image. Platina Resources Limited Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 9 Whilst we believe there is significant potential to expand upon the known oxide mineralisation, the longer term objective is targeting primary mineralisation within the alteration core of the system which has never been tested by historical drill programs. Platina believes the project offers significant upside due to: • A favourable regional scale structural setting, with the multi-million-ounce Mt Olympus gold deposit situated 7km to the east of the Amphitheatre pit; • Widespread gold mineralisation identified within a large and intense hydrothermal alteration system which extends for over 10km in strike extent; • • The host lithology, the Duck Creek Dolomite, is a highly reactive rock and favourable host to the target intrusion related and Carlin styles of gold mineralisation; and Immediate targets from surface and at depth within the interpreted east plunging alteration system. Platina developed a significant number of drilling targets at Xanadu Central and Deeps following its extensive exploration effort, including mapping, sampling, drilling and geophysics. During the reporting period, Platina’s maiden reverse circulation drilling program at Xanadu of 2,214m demonstrated the presence of gold mineralisation at depth and up to 900m on strike from untested ground immediately to the west of the historic Amphitheatre open pit anomaly. While there has been very sparse drilling conducted historically over this strike section, anomalous gold was intersected in the majority of the holes along with encouraging gold assays. including 7m @ 1.05g/t Au from 168m in XARC005 and 8m @ 1.79g/t Au from 38m in XARC009. The program was widely spaced covering over 4km within the 10km mineralised and altered corridor. Drilling has been valuable in identifying various stratigraphic horizons and mineralisation patterns which has added to the knowledge of mineralisation controls. The detailed geochemical analysis of the samples has helped define stratigraphic and alteration assemblages relating to vectoring gold mineralisation, which will help in future targeting of the drilling. This definition will also be used to target the remaining tenement package. During the drilling program, most planned targets were tested, however, several holes ended shallower due to the weathered clay chert-breccia intersected in the top part of most holes which caused the drill rods to get bogged. Diamond drilling will be required to target mineralisation beyond approximately 200m depth. Assay results from the phase 1 reverse circulation drilling, include: • • • • • • • • 1m @ 0.94g/t Au from 45m in XARC002 2m @ 1.16g/t Au from 94m in XARC003 7m @ 1.05g/t Au from 168m in XARC005 1m @ 0.53g/t Au from 9m in XARC008 1m @ 1.57g/t Au from 23m in XARC009 8m @1.79g/t Au from 38m in XARC009 incl. 1m @ 8.37g/t from 43m 2m @ 0.95g/t Au from 53m in XARC009 2m @ 0.68g/t Au from 18m in XARC010 Platina Resources Limited Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 10 Figure 3. 4km of the 10km mineralised corridor where RC drilling was carried out. Green lines indicate Platina’s tenement boundary. Historic assays are in grey boxes and new assays are in blue boxes. The results in drilling from holes XARC003 and XARC005 are considered extremely encouraging as a down dip trend has been highlighted from strong surface expression of historic assays. Historic diamond hole WDNS005 had intersected 14m @ 2.14g/t from 31m, this zone was located on the bottom of the clay chert-breccia zone and top section of the sedimentary package. XARC003 was planned with the aim to test a down dip extension of this historic intersection. Although no gold assays were returned in the sedimentary stratigraphy of this hole, a 14m zone of massive sulphides was intercepted. In this zone, 14m @ 593ppm of arsenic was intersected (minimum cut-off 117ppm with no internal dilution) and just above this zone from 99-100m 8.3% Cu was also intersected. Further, 120m down dip in XARC005 an aggregate zone of 43m @ 0.36g/t Au from 143m including an intersection of 7m @ 1.05g/t Au from 168m. Quartz stringers were associated with this zone. This intersection is considered highly encouraging as it possibly highlights a potential structure feeder and deeper extension of gold mineralisation. This also opens up the possibility of a replication of the style, structure and mineralisation of the Amphitheatre pit. Platina Resources Limited Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 11 Figure 4. Shows section across XARC003 and XARC005 which lies west of the Amphitheatre pit. Section limits +/- 80m During the period, Platina also announced the discovery of the Hermes prospect in the central domain of the Xanadu Project. The new discovery includes a 1km gold mineralised structure and multiple parallel zones within a broader mineralised corridor up to 80m wide. Geological mapping, rock chip sampling, and geophysics have been used to define the structure. The orientation of the mineralisation was revealed to be parallel to the west-north-west trending Howie’s Hole fault, located 500m to the north, which runs in the vicinity of the Mt Olympus and Zeus gold deposits. The mineralised zones were mapped to be closely associated with conglomerate lenses which correlate with the Mt Olympus deposit style of mineralisation. Subsequent to financial year end, cultural heritage and statutory approvals, drilling plans and earthworks have been completed to facilitate multiple drilling programs at Xanadu, including reverse circulation drilling at Hermes and Xanadu West, and diamond drilling Xanadu Deeps. The reverse circulation drill program at Hermes was completed in September 2023 and assay results are expected in October 2023. During the reporting period tenement Exploration Licence Application 52/3946 in the eastern section of the project was approved and granted as an Exploration Licence. Platina Resources Limited Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 12 Figure 5. Map showing the area covered by June 2023 geological field mapping and rock chip sampling at the Hermes prospect area. Labelled are only the rock chips with values >0.5g/t Au and >1000g/t As. Platina Resources Limited Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 13 Brimstone Gold Project Eastern Goldfields, Western Australia Ownership 100% Platina’s Brimstone Gold Project covers 70km2 and is located 40km north-east of Kalgoorlie within a proven gold district in close proximity to the Penny’s Find gold deposit and 25km from the Kanowna Belle gold mine. The tenement package includes five Prospecting Licences, one Mining Licence, one Miscellaneous Licence and five Exploration Licences (1 granted and 4 pending). Brimstone is an advanced stage exploration project with immense appeal given the previously drilled broad widths and high-grade gold mineralisation. Interpreted geological structures cover up to 10km of strike length of mineralisation on highly prospective greenstone rocks. There has been approximately $5m of historical expenditure at Brimstone, including, over 964 holes drilled for a total of 51,638m. Most drill holes were less than 50m in depth and 93% of holes were previously drilled to less than 100m in depth. This historical work has never been followed up with a systematic exploration campaign, and therein lies the opportunity. During the period, the Company confirmed the presence of multiple new mineralised gold structures after completing a maiden 4,381m aircore drilling program. The 85-hole program identified a strongly mineralised 350m long structure at the Brandy Prospect, which could potentially extend up to 800m in length, and at the Billabong North Prospect, which is defined over 120m. These mineralised structures are open along strike and down dip. Encouraged by the broad zones of mineralisation from the drilling program, the next step is reverse circulation drilling below the shallow aircore anomalies to potentially identify broader and higher-grade intersections like those seen at the Garibaldi Prospect, 1km to the east or the Penny’s Find gold deposit, owned by Horizon Minerals Limited, 2.5km to the south. Eight out of 14 aircore holes drilled on the Brandy structure and four out of nine holes drilled at Billabong North intersected mineralisation. The Brandy shear zone is interpreted to be the northern extension of the Penny’s Find shear zone, which hosts the Penny’s Find gold deposit and drilling on the Brandy structure and Billabong North intersected mineralisation. The Company is particularly pleased with the Brandy Prospect results as it replicates similar up dip intercepts from the Penny’s Find gold deposit, which becomes a wider mineralised zone at depth. The recent drilling has still not closed off the mineralisation and the 350m shear is expected to extend for up to 800m. Platina Resources Limited Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 14 Figure 6. Brimstone’s northern acreage showing drill holes and structures. Further drilling will be required at Old Camp to better define the mineralisation of the interpreted structures from the recent results. Historical drilling at Old Camp has indicated the presence of a strong northwest-southeast trending mineralised structure. Significant assay results from the aircore drilling program, include: Brandy 9m @ 0.9g/t Au from 32m to EOH in BSAC077 (incl. 6m @ 1.2g/t Au from 34m) 12m @ 0.3g/t Au from 24m in BSAC076 16m @ 0.4g/t Au from 20m in BSAC066 (incl. 4m @ 1.1g/t from 28m) 8m @ 0.6g/t Au from 16m in BSAC061 Platina Resources Limited Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 15 Billabong North 8m @ 1.19g/t Au from 20m in BSAC054 8m @ 0.39g/t Au from 28m in BSAC050 4m @ 0.83g/t Au from 34m in BSAC049 Old Camp 4m @ 0.5g/t Au from 36m in BSAC040 Subsequent to the end of the period, a reverse circulation drill program to test the mineralisation at depth and along strike at Brandy, Garibaldi and Old Camp commenced. Figure 7. Location of the Brimstone Project in Western Australia Platina Resources Limited Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 16 Beete Gold Project Western Australia, Australia Ownership 100% The Beete Project which lies 50km south-west of Norseman and covers 134km2 within what is believed to be a possible extension of the Norseman greenstone belt, a prolific gold producing region of more than 5Mozs. The Scotia Mining Centre is situated 10km to the north. The area has not been systematically explored despite being situated in a historical mining district with a number of small high-grade gold mines. Beete is located on interpreted geophysical structures that Platina believes host gold mineralisation trending north-south within the tenement. Aruma Resources has reported several very-high-grade gold intersections at its Salmon Gums project to the south, while the Norseman Mining Centre to the north has large gold resources and reserves. During the reporting year, native title agreements were finalised and were followed up with a low-cost and low-impact soil sampling program to help define target areas (including gold, nickel, lithium and rare earths) for follow-up drilling. The entire tenement area where the soil samples were collected has transported cover and little to no outcropping rocks. Most of the tenement area is heavily vegetated or under farming land. A total of 757 coarse fraction (-1.27mm) soil samples were collected and assayed for 61 elements. No significant mineralisation was returned in these assays. It is noted that there were zones and clusters of weak anomalous values (maximum 2-3 times the average crustal abundance) of multiple indicator elements that were observed to be overlapping the interpreted geophysics targets. Due to the presence of transported soil and alluvium from 4 to 50m thick across the tenement, no further soil sampling programs will be conducted. Instead, the weak anomalous value assay locations overlapping with the interpreted geophysics targets will be targeted by aircore drilling. In addition, a reverse circulation drill program in the vicinity of the high-grade historical Beete Mine is being planned for late in 2023 after the end of the wet season. Platina Resources Limited Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 17 Figure 8. Location of the Beete Project in Western Australia. Platina Resources Limited Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 18 Binti Binti Western Australia, Australia Ownership 100% Binti Binti comprises two Exploration Licences located approximately 50km north-east of Kalgoorlie and 30km west of Northern Star’s Carosue Dam Gold mine. Never explored, the area once thought to be granites has been re-interpreted as a potential greenstone prospect. Binti Binti is considered prospective for orogenic (lode) gold mineralisation given the historic Gindalbie Goldfield and associated workings within the project tenure. During the reporting period, one site visit and desktop compilation of geological and geophysical data was completed. Figure 9. Binti Binti is located in close proximity to NuFortune’s Lindsay’s Gold Project, OzAurum’s Mulgabbie North Project and Northern Star’s Carouse Dam Mine. Platina Resources Limited Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 19 Mt Narryer Western Australia, Australia Ownership 100% - Joint Venture with Chalice Mining (ASX: CHN) Exploration licence (E 09/2423) at Mt Narryer South is located 580km north of Perth, in Western Australia. The Mt Narryer area has not undergone intensive mineral exploration in the past due to the lack of outcropping ‘greenstones’ that have hosted most of the main gold and base metal deposits discovered to date in Western Australia. During the period, Platina announced it had entered into a joint venture on the Mt Narryer Project with Chalice Mining Limited (Chalice, ASX: CHN). Under the terms of the binding farm-in agreement, Chalice will initially earn a 51% interest in the Project by spending A$600,000 over two years including a minimum spend of $150,000 in the first year. Chalice can then earn an additional 24% interest by spending a further $1.8 million over the following two years. Platina would then continue to be free cost carried to completion of a Pre-Feasibility Study. Chalice is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange with a current market capitalisation of approximately $1 billion. In March 2020, Chalice made a major new greenfield PGE-nickel-copper-cobalt- gold discovery at its Julimar Project, located approximately 480km south of Mt Narryer in the Western Yilgarn Craton. A tier-1 scale maiden mineral resource has since been defined at Julimar. The new joint venture offers a tremendous opportunity to leverage the nickel, copper and platinum group metals (PGM) metal expertise that Chalice used to discover Julimar. Chalice has a proven, low-cost model for discovering major mineral deposits using reconnaissance, geochemical sampling and geophysical surveys backed by a bank of geological knowledge from its Ni-Cu-PGM discovery at Julimar. Figure 10. Location of Mt Narryer Project in Western Australia. Platina Resources Limited Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 20 Challa Gold Project Western Australia, Australia Ownership 100% The Challa project includes two exploration licences covering 293km2 located approximately 500km north-east of Perth in Western Australia. The Sandstone province has produced over 1.3 million ounces of gold from numerous underground and open pit mining operations, while Mt Magnet produced over 6 million ounces since its discovery in 1891. Nearby, the Youanmi Gold Mine produced 670,000 ounces of gold throughout its life and is currently the focus of new resource drilling targeting high-grade gold zones. Shallow transported sands and silts cover much of the project areas and a soil sampling technique has been identified as a preferred methodology for identifying gold anomalies over potential gold systems at depth. More than 3,547 soil samples have been completed by Platina across target areas interpreted through geophysics and historical assay results. Seven targets were defined and drilling to date across three targets has had limited success. The remaining targets will be opportunistically drilled when an aircore rig is conveniently available in the district. Figure 11. The Challa Project lies on the Paynesville Gold Trend, within the prolific Sandstone province. Platina Resources Limited Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 21 Jubilee Gold Project Western Australia, Australia Ownership 100% During the period, Platina applied for Exploration Licence (E51/2132) at the Jubilee Project. Jubilee is located within the prolific gold producing Yilgarn Craton, 15 kilometres east of Meekatharra. The exploration licence application cover 51 Blocks (156 km2). Jubilee is located in close proximity to a number of multi-million-ounce gold deposits (Yaloginda and Paddy’s Flat) and gold processing plant infrastructure (Blue Bird). The Jubilee Project adjoins and is immediately east of the Great Boulder Resources’ (ASX: GBR) Side Well project which hosts the high-grade Mulga Bill prospect. Recent drilling at Mulga Bill has intersected very high-grade and large widths of gold mineralisation. According to Great Boulder, the Mulga Bill prospect is over 6 kilometres in strike length and the mineralised system is open to the north, south and to depth. Figure 12. Location of Jubilee Project in Western Australia. Platina Resources Limited Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 22 Platina Scandium Project New South Wales, Australia The Platina Scandium Project (PSP) located in central New South Wales is one of the largest and highest-grade scandium deposits in the world. A Definitive Feasibility Study was completed in late 2018 demonstrating the technical and economic viability of the project – see Table 1 results.

Excludes royalties. In April 2023, Platina announced that it had signed a conditional binding sale agreement with a wholly owned subsidiary of Rio Tinto Ltd to sell the project for up to US$14 million in cash. The transaction was subject to final regulatory approval including New South Wales Ministerial Consent for the transfer of the PSP. Subsequent to the end of the period, on 30 August 2023, Platina received US$7 million cash. A further US$1 million is held by Rio Tinto as a warranty retention payment re-payable after 30 months. Platina may also receive future cash payments totalling US$6 million subject to Rio Tinto achieving project milestones including granting of a Mining Lease. Platina has managed the sale process internally and no corporate advisory or success fees were payable. The sale unlocked value in the project where Platina had made a considerable investment advancing the project through exploration to the Definitive Feasibility Study stage. The transaction with Rio Tinto is congruent with Platina’s strategy of advancing projects along the value chain and monetising when a new combination of technical, market or financial capability is required. This enables projects to achieve optimal scale, minimises Platia’s capital outlay and accelerates returns to investors. Platina Resources Limited Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 23 Investments At the end of the period, Platina held investments, including: Major Precious Metals - Not listed - 49 million shares Major is a Canadian mining and exploration company whose flagship Skaergaard Project hosts one of the world’s largest undeveloped gold deposits and one of the largest palladium resources outside of South Africa and Russia. On 14 September 2022, Major’s shareholders approved a voluntary delisting of Major’s common shares from the NEO Stock Exchange in Toronto. The Board of Major cited the rationale for the delisting was due to the prolonged weak market conditions, owed greatly to a continued market-driven disconnect between the share price of Major, relative to believed true asset value, would be in the best interests of its shareholders to preserve its current business. The shares ceased trading on the NEO Stock Exchange on 7 October 2022. www.majorprecious.com Alien Metals - AIM.UFO - ~45 million shares Exploration and mining project developer focused on precious and base metal projects including the Hamersley Iron Ore Project, Elizabeth Hill Silver Project and the surrounding Munni Munni exploration permits, all located within the Pilbara region of Western Australia, as well as two silver projects and a copper-gold project in Mexico.

Platina Resources Limited Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 33 2023 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. The head of the UN World Health Organization declared an end to COVID-19 as a public health emergency in May 2023, whilst noting it remains a global health threat. COVID-19 did not have a significant direct financial impact on the Company during the year. Staff have remained in good health and the Company’s planned exploration programs have not been impacted by COVID-19 in any significant way. As an exploration entity, the Group has no recurring 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. DIRECTORS’ INTERESTS IN SECURITIES As at the date of this report, the interests of the Directors in the shares and options of Platina Resources Limited are shown in the table below: Directors Brian Moller Corey Nolan Ordinary shares Unlisted options - 3,500,000 400,000 12,000,000 Christopher Hartley - 3,000,000 John Anderson 104,340 3,000,000 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 $7,969,640 (2022: $15,676,545). 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. 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 Platina Resources Limited Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 34 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; • change in prices of listed investments and foreign currencies; • 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 a 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.      In August 2022, the Company advised it had confirmed the allotment of 89.2 million ordinary shares at $0.025 per share to raise $2.23 million to sophisticated, professional and other exempt investors, In November 2022, the Company issued a total of 21,500,000 unlisted options to the Directors of the Company and 2,000,000 options to the Company Secretary; In October 2022, 17.5 million unlisted options expired unexercised; In November 2022, 8 million unlisted options were issued for lead manager services provided for the capital raising undertaken in August 2022 and 1.5 million ordinary shares were issued for corporate advisory services, following shareholder approval received at a general meeting held in October 2022; and In November 2022, the Company issued 80,645,159 ordinary shares and 100,000 Performance Shares, which will convert to $1,000,000 in Shares if a JORC compliant Inferred Mineral Resource above 100,000 ounces at 1.5g/t is achieved within the Acquisition tenements, based on a 5% discount to the 10-day VWAP at the time the JORC Mineral Resource is announced (Milestone) as consideration to acquire 100% of Sangold Resources Pty Ltd As at 30 June 2023 the Company had 623,180,331 ordinary shares, 100,000 Performance shares and 63,860,000 options on issue. 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 the Review of Operations. Liquidity and funding AFTER BALANCE DATE EVENTS 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. REVIEW OF FINANCIAL CONDITION Capital structure As at 30 June 2022 the Company had 434,382,342 ordinary shares and 49,860,000 options on issue.

Platina Resources Limited Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 35 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. Risks The prospects of the Group in progressing their exploration projects in Australia may be affected by a number of factors. These factors are similar to most exploration companies moving through the 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 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. • 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 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 liabilities 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 Platina Resources Limited Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 36 Management system, which is designed to minimise the risk of an uncontrolled safety and health event and to continuously improve 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 laws of Australia. 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.

Remuneration philosophy The Board reviews the remuneration packages applicable to the executive Directors 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 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 2022 Annual General Meeting (AGM): – At the 2022 AGM, less than 2% of the votes received (excluding abstentions) did not support the adoption of the remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2022. The Company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM regarding its remuneration practices. Platina Resources Limited Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 37 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. The remuneration of the non-executive Directors for the year ending 30 June 2023 and 30 June 2022 is detailed in Table 1 of this report. Managing Director’s 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 company- wide, business unit and individual performance, relevant comparative remuneration in the market and internal and, where appropriate, external advice on policies and practice. Platina Resources Limited Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 38 Employee Option Incentive Plan (EOIP) Shareholders last approved the Platina Resources Limited EOIP at the General Meeting on 16 October 2020. 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. Mr Nolan is entitled to an annual salary of $310,000, including statutory superannuation and the termination period for both Platina and Mr Nolan is two months. 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. Executive Director remuneration for the year ending 30 June 2023 and 30 June 2022 is detailed in Table 1 of this report. 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 30 November 2021. 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.

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. 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 the date the director’s report was signed. 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 2023 is prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the commercial realisation of the Group’s assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Group has recorded a loss after tax of $7,969,640 for the year ended 30 June 2023 (2022: $15,676,545) which included unrealised Net fair value losses on equity investments of $4,649,573. The Group has experienced net operating and investing cash outflows of $2,841,586 (2022: $1,370,067) and continues to incur expenditure on its exploration projects drawing on its cash balances, without a consistent source of income. As at 30 June 2023, the Group had $496,065 (30 June 2022: $1,222,365) in cash and cash equivalents. Subsequent to the end of the reporting period, the Company advised it had received US$8 million in cash from the sale of the Platina Scandium Project to a wholly owned subsidiary of Rio Tinto Ltd (Rio Tinto), less a US$1 million warranty retention payment which is re-payable by Rio Tinto after 30 months if there are no warranty breaches. 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. Platina Resources Limited Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 48 NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) d. Basis of Consolidation Controlled Entities The financial results 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 22. e. New standards and interpretations not yet adopted A number of new standards and interpretations are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after 1 July 2023 and earlier application is permitted, however the Company has not early adopted the new or amended standards in preparing these financial statements. The new standards relate to very specific circumstances that are not likely to be applicable to the Company. 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. Platina Resources Limited Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 49 NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) i. Financial Instruments Recognition 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. h. Leases At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group uses the definition of a lease in AASB 16. Since the date of inception of the new standard, the Group has not entered into any contracts that contain a lease. As a result, no detailed accounting policy for leases is disclosed in this report. In the event a contract is entered into that contains a lease, the Group will develop a policy based on the requirements of AASB 16. 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. Financial assets at amortised cost 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 the 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. 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.

Financial Instruments (continued) Impairment At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. j. 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. k. 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. l. 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. 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. n. 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 control the income. o. 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. p. 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. Platina Resources Limited Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 51 NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) q. 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 is recognised as a current liability with the amount being normally paid within 30 days of reconciliation of the liability. r. 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 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. Exploration and evaluation expenditure The Group’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure is set out in Note 1 (u). The application of this policy necessarily requires the Board to make certain estimates and assumptions as to future events and circumstances. Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. If, after having capitalised expenditure under this policy, it is concluded that the expenditures are unlikely to be recoverable by future exploitation or sale, then the relevant capitalised amount will be written off to the statement of comprehensive income. The Board determines when an area of interest should be abandoned. When a decision is made that an area of interest is not commercially viable, all costs that have been capitalised in respect of that area of interest are written off. The Directors’ decision is made after considering the likelihood of finding commercially viable reserves. s. 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. t. Government Grants To the extent that contributions or rebates are received from taxation authorities, they are recognised in profit and loss as an Income Tax Benefit. Platina Resources Limited Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 52 NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) u. Acquisition, Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure Acquisition costs of mining tenements are accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that the Group’s rights of tenure to that area of interest are current and that the costs are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves. Costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit or loss in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made. Each area of interest is also reviewed annually and acquisition costs written off to the extent that they will not be recoverable in the future. Exploration, evaluation and development costs of mining tenements are written off as incurred. v. Comparative Information Where necessary, comparative financial information may be adjusted to improve comparability, or as required by the adoption of new or revised accounting standards.

(2022: $16,479,965). On 14 September 2022, shareholders of Major Precious Metals Corp (Major) approved a voluntary delisting of Major’s common shares from the NEO Stock Exchange in Toronto. The Board of Major cited the rationale for the delisting was due to the prolonged weak market conditions, owed greatly to a continued market-driven disconnect between the share price of Major, relative to believed true asset value, would be in the best interests of its shareholders to preserve its current business. The shares ceased trading on the NEO Stock Exchange on 7 October 2022. As a consequence, the directors have revalued the carrying value of the investment in Major to nil due to the inability to accurately determine the value of the investment at balance date. Platina Resources Limited Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 57 NOTE 11 FINANCIAL ASSETS AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT OR LOSS (Continued) (iii) Fair value measurement of financial instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position are grouped into three (3) levels of a fair value hierarchy. The three (3) levels are defined based on the observability of significant inputs to the measurement, as follows: Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly Level 3: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability The following table shows the levels within the hierarchy of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis: June 2023 Listed equity securities Fair value at 30 June 2023 June 2022 Listed equity securities Fair value at 30 June 2022 Level 1 $ 522,817 522,817 Level 1 $ 5,897,399 5,897,399 Level 2 Level 3 $ - - $ - - Level 2 Level 3 $ - - $ - - NOTE 12 EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION EXPENDITURE Balance at beginning of the period Capitalised Impaired Exploration and evaluation expenditure capitalised – at cost 2023 $ 1,550,975 2,768,495 (7,614) 4,311,856 Total $ 522,817 522,817 Total $ 5,897,399 5,897,399 2022 $ - 1,550,975 - 1,550,975 Recoverability of the carrying amount of exploration assets is dependent on the successful exploration and sale of minerals.

Platina Resources Limited Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 65 NOTE 20 OPERATING SEGMENTS The Group operates predominately in mineral exploration with a focus on platinum group metals, zinc and gold and base metals. Segment Information Identification of reportable segments 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: (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. (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 • Deferred tax assets and liabilities • Current tax liabilities • Other financial liabilities • Intangible assets • Discontinuing operations • Depreciation • Corporate charges Platina Resources Limited Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 66 NOTE 20 OPERATING SEGMENTS (Continued) 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 financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, as disclosed in Note 11. 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF PLATINA RESOURCES LIMITED (CONTINUED) Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. 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. 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF PLATINA RESOURCES LIMITED (CONTINUED) Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report (Continued)  Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with 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.
