Message to Shareholders FROM THE CHAIRMAN
Dear Shareholders
I am pleased to report on what has been a year of great success
and achievement for Red 5.
Notwithstanding the unprecedented challenges of the market for
labour, equipment and services in Western Australia, surging cost
inflation and the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, our team
successfully delivered the $226 million King of the Hills (KOTH) gold
mine on time and on budget.
At the time of this report, commissioning of all key aspects of the
new KOTH process plant had been completed with ramp-up of the
4.7Mtpa mill proceeding to plan.
The efficient, professional and seamless execution of this project is
a credit to the Red 5 team, led by our Managing Director Mark
Williams, Chief Operating Officer Jason Greive and Project
Manager Warren King – supported by our Tier-1 contracting and
business partners MACA-Interquip and Macmahon Contracting.
There is little doubt that, had we not taken the step of raising the
equity component of $125 million in March 2020 with the onset of
the global COVID-19 crisis – a move which allowed us to lock in
orders for long-lead items and secure a fixed price EPC contract –
the price tag for the KOTH project would have been significantly
higher and the timeline to completion extended.
On the corporate front, we completed the divestment of our interests
in the Siana Gold Project in the Philippines during the year, for a
consideration of US$19 million in cash as well as a net smelter return
on future gold production up to 619,000 ounces.
This has completed Red 5’s transformation from a Philippines-
focused gold producer into an Australian gold producer with an
exciting future of growth ahead of us.
As we embark on this next chapter of our growth journey, I am
pleased to say that Red 5 has continued to evolve and strengthen its
Board and senior leadership team to ensure that we have the right
skills-sets and experience to lead the Company into the future.
The Company recognises the benefits of diversity in a competitive
labour market and the importance of being able to attract, retain and
motivate employees from the widest possible pool of available talent.
Programmes are being developed to encourage diversity within
employment in the Company and in the composition of its Board
We recently welcomed Fiona Harris AM to the Board as a non-
executive Director, bringing further valuable corporate and
governance experience. Fiona has already made a strong
contribution and we look forward to her input and wise counsel in
the years ahead.
This approach also resulted in a change to the normal sequence of
events typically seen during the mine financing and development
process – with the bulk of the equity component raised before the
completion of the Final Feasibility Study in September 2020 and
ahead of the competitive $175 million debt funding package that
was secured in June 2021.
We have also continued to recruit and build our site leadership team
at KOTH with high-quality appointments during the year including
Neil Valk as General Manager Operations, Craig Hatch as Operations
Manager, Andrew McRae as Mining Manager, Oliver Keene as
Mining Manager Underground and Patrick Duffy moving to the
position of Chief Financial Officer post year end.
I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank our
financiers, BNP Paribas, HSBC and Macquarie, our key contracting
and business partners and our shareholders and key investors for
supporting our development strategy and helping us to achieve this
outcome.
Turning to our Western Australian gold operations in the Eastern
Goldfields, gold production for FY-22 was 66,871 ounces. This
reflected a strong performance by the Darlot gold mine and the
Great Western open pit, notwithstanding the impacts of operator
and skills shortages in the West Australian mining sector, high staff
turnover and the impacts of COVID-19.
In 2021, we announced a plan for the Darlot underground mine to
transition to become a high-grade feed source for the new KOTH
processing plant. In what represents a reversal of our original
operating strategy in the Eastern Goldfields, this will facilitate a
decrease in Darlot’s production cost base with ore being processed
through the low-cost 4.7Mtpa CIL plant at KOTH.
In line with this strategy, the Darlot processing plant was placed on
care and maintenance in July 2022, with trucking of Darlot
underground ore to KOTH commencing in the September Quarter
2022. This has also provided an opportunity to transition many
Darlot employees across to KOTH, reducing the labour related risks
for KOTH and at the same time de-risking the ramp-up of
production at KOTH.
2
2022 ANNUAL REPORT
Like other gold producers, Red 5 has not been immune to the
broad-based sell-off in global equity, debt and commodity markets
that unfolded in the final two months of the financial year and
continued into the early part of FY-23.
It is important to focus on the significant achievements of the year,
the quality of our core asset at KOTH and the strong growth
potential ahead of us – all of which will help to strengthen our
business during this period of global volatility.
With a substantial Ore Reserve of 2.4 million ounces, KOTH is a
top-10 endowed Australian gold mine and is a high-quality, long-life
and highly strategic asset. Together with the new low-cost
processing facility, KOTH will be a cornerstone of our continued
growth in the Australian gold sector.
In conclusion, my sincere thanks must go to the entire Red 5 team,
my fellow Board members, our senior management team, our
contracting partners, our financiers and our shareholders. You have
all played a vital role in our success, and I would like to thank you for
your hard work and support.
Kevin Dundo

MANAGING DIRECTOR’S Report
The 2022 financial year has been a busy
and successful period for Red 5, with the
Company successfully constructing and
commissioning Australia’s newest major
gold mine, the King of the Hills (KOTH) gold
mine in the Eastern Goldfields region of
Western Australia.
The efficient and highly professional
execution of this $226 million project during
the year is a significant achievement, with
the first gold pour on 5 June 2022 marking a
major milestone for our entire team.
Considering the challenging conditions
being experienced in the Western Australian
resource sector with widespread labour and
skills shortages, cost inflation, border
closures and the onset of the COVID-19
pandemic, the delivery of KOTH on time and
within budget is testament to the dedication
and commitment of the entire Red 5 team
supported by contracting partners
MACA-Interquip and Macmahon
Contractors.
On the mining front, Red 5’s Eastern
Goldfields operations delivered total gold
production over the past year from Darlot
and the Great Western open pit of 64,667
ounces. This was a commendable
achievement, particularly given the operator
and skills shortages experienced during the
year and high turnover of operators and
staff – an industry-wide issue which has
impacted many mining operations around
Western Australia.
Following the comprehensive review of our
operations completed last year, Red 5
implemented a revised mine plan for Darlot
which saw Redpath Mining Contractors
engaged to commence underground mine
development as part of a strategy to unlock
the project’s resource base and reduce
reliance on mining remnant areas.
Our new mine plan and future processing
strategy will see the Darlot underground
mine transition into a high-grade feed
source for the new KOTH processing plant,
with trucking of ore from Darlot to KOTH
having commenced in the September 2022
quarter.
Processing Darlot’s ore through KOTH’s
new processing plant will enable us to
deliver a step-change in production costs,
with the Darlot mill suspended in July 2022
and the bulk of the surface operations
personnel transitioned across to KOTH.

Red 5 continues to manage and mitigate the potential impact of the
COVID-19 global pandemic on the Company’s operations. The
Management Response Plan remains focused on ensuring the
health and safety of Red 5 personnel and limiting the disruption risk
to our operations.
This plan has been progressively developed in line with the formal
guidance of State and Federal health authorities, in close
coordination with the Australian Resources and Energy Group
(AMMA) and under the Company’s existing Emergency
Management Policies.
The Company continues to closely monitor the advice and
requirements from State and Federal Governments and health
authorities and maintain its focus on the health and well-being of
staff and the communities in which we operate.
Three Lost Time Injuries (LTI) and 15 Restricted Work Injuries (RWI)
were recorded across Red 5’s mining, processing and exploration
activities in FY-22.
EASTERN GOLDFIELDS,
WESTERN AUSTRALIA
Red 5 holds an extensive 2,555km2 strategic tenement footprint in
the world-class Leonora-Leinster mineral district in the northern
goldfields of Western Australia, which includes the Darlot and Great
Western gold mines and the KOTH gold mine where construction
was completed in late FY-22.
In addition to its operating gold mines, Red 5’s tenements also offer
significant exploration upside, with active exploration programs
being undertaken at both Darlot and KOTH during the year.
KING OF THE HILLS CONSTRUCTION
Development activities were completed at KOTH during FY-22, with
first ore processed through the 4.7Mtpa processing plant in May
2022 and first gold poured on 5 June 2022.
Process plant construction
Construction of the process plant and other infrastructure
progressed on schedule and within budget throughout the
reporting period.

Installation of the KOTH power station was complete as at the end
of FY-22, with a combination of gas and solar energy supplying site
power.
MANAGING DIRECTOR’S Report (cont.)
KING OF THE HILLS OPERATIONAL RAMP-UP
KOTH mining activities
Open pit grade control drilling
Red 5 completed an initial 70,000 metres of grade control drilling in the
KOTH southern pit during FY-22 to cover the first 30 to 45 metres
vertically of the current Stage 1 design. Open pit grade control will be
conducted in phases, with the initial phase of drilling designed to cover
the first six months of open pit mining with the objective of de-risking
and setting up the initial ore blocks for mining.
Underground drilling
In preparation for mining at KOTH, approximately 40,100 metres of
underground drilling was undertaken in FY-22, with an additional
86,000 metres planned for FY-23 for an estimated total of 140,000
metres. Drilling is focused on a mixture of grade control, resource
definition and exploration programs.
KOTH processing
The KOTH processing facility was commissioned in May 2022 and has
been progressively ramping up, with both throughput rates and gold
recoveries in-line with expectations. The gas power station has been
operating to plan, and the water balance has now reached steady state,
with all water bores and Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) return water
infrastructure operational.
The first gold pour from the process plant was achieved on 5 June
2022. During June 2022, the total mill operating time was 84%. The
SAG mill continues to deliver throughput rates in excess of 600 tonnes
per hour for significant periods at moderate mill loads and power draw.
A total of 385,704 dry tonnes was milled up to 30 June 2022, producing
a total of 9,545 ounces at an average recovery of 90.9% and grade of
0.85g/t. The reconciled grade of near surface KOTH ore was 0.55g/t,
with over 60% of the processing feed stock sourced from historical
stockpiles. The reconciled grade of KOTH ore was within 1% of the
expected grade of ore mined at this stage of the open pit cut-back. The
processing plant feed was supplemented by higher-grade ore trucked
from the Great Western satellite open pit during May and June 2022.
During the June Quarter, Macmahon Contractors progressively
ramped up total material movement as two open pit fleets and
supporting ancillary equipment began operating on a double
shift basis.
Macmahon mined 2.9 million bank cubic metres (Mbcms) in the
June Quarter from the Stage 1 pit, including 365,675 tonnes of
ore at an average grade of 0.52g/t (consistent with the expected
grade of ore mined at this stage of the open pit cut-back). Land
clearing for the waste storage facility is progressing to plan, drill
and blast activities are on plan.
Construction of the Run of Mine (ROM) pad was completed
early in the quarter. The ROM pad is now established and has
been designed to allow highly efficient “super-quad” road trains
to deliver ore from off-site sources such as Great Western and
Darlot as part of a strategic haulage agreement in place with
key business partner MLG.
The construction of Tailings Storage Facility 5 (TSF5) is
progressing to plan. Following the TSF5 construction tender
award in May 2022, the successful contractor, Iron Mining, has
mobilised to site and begun site establishment and
construction. All construction materials for TSF5 have been
sourced from Stage 1 open pit mining activities.
Underground mine development activities continued during the
quarter, with over 800 metres of development completed. The
first stope was fired in June 2022, signalling the
commencement of underground production activities.
Underground infrastructure is still under development, with
connection to the site high voltage system to occur early in the
September Quarter.
Mining infrastructure establishment continues, with the
completion of the heavy vehicle workshop, offices, change
rooms, ablutions and training facilities expected in the
September 2022 Quarter.

2022 ANNUAL REPORT
MANAGING DIRECTOR’S Report (cont.)
EXPLORATION AND RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT
KING OF THE HILLS
King of the West
The 40,100 metres of drilling conducted at KOTH for FY-22
focussed on a mix of stope de-risking (GC) and infill and
extensional drilling for resource development. The key areas
targeted were:
\ de-risking narrow vein stopes in the Central area;
\ de-risking bulk stopes in the Syra (West decline below the
W4890) and West decline below W4895;
\ infilling the Regal (north) 4925 stope shapes from the W4950
and Regal 4885;
Assay results from air-core (AC) drilling completed over the King of
the West area in March 2021 identified significant gold anomalism
associated with a sheared mafic-granite contact and sheared mafic
host rock similar to the mineralisation setting observed at Great
Western.
Large parts of the tenement remain untested, with structures and
geology bearing similarities to major gold deposits in the area,
including Great Western. The AC program was designed to test
three of these areas to identify targets for follow-up RC drilling.
\ testing the Regal area below the 4925 and East – West Link.
Great Southern
DARLOT
Darlot near-mine exploration
Near-mine drilling at Darlot during FY-22 focused on extending new
mining areas such as Middle Walters South and reducing the
dependency on remnant mining. Results reported included strong
intercepts from Middle Walters South and positive results from
Dar-Cent, Oval 1300 and Pedersen Lower, all of which offer the
opportunity for resource growth.
A pXRF soil sample program covering the Great Southern area
commenced in late April 2022 and was ongoing at the end of the
reporting period. The target area represents the southern-most
extent of the Yandal Belt, containing a central corridor of NW
trending ultramafic-mafic greenstones which are bound to the east
and west by granitoids. Structurally, the package is superficially
analogous to Darlot, bound and intersected by the regional NNW
trending El Dorado and Waikato shear zones, and deformed by
smaller-scale structures.
Great Western
Gilmore Well
The Gilmore Well prospect, located approximately 10km SW of the
Darlot mine, comprises a large and sparsely explored area west of
the Emperor mineralised corridor. Previous exploration results from
historical soil and rock chip sampling defined a continuous NW-SE
gold trend extending up to 1km, as well as several smaller NE-SE
and N-S oriented Au trends which range in length between 300-400
metres. Historical assay results reported values up to 2.9g/t Au in
rock chips (sourced from auriferous quartz veins) and 20ppb Au
from soil samples. The main NW-SE trending corridor is parallel to
the proximal Emperor trend, and all identified gold trends show a
spatial relationship with the margins of prominent magnetic highs
and areas of sub-cropping dolerite and vein quartz float.
The first stage of the Great Western underground drill program
comprising nine exploration drill holes was completed in mid-
December 2021. The program was designed to test the
underground potential of the Great Western orebody below the
open pit and returned encouraging results with drill holes
intersecting a mineralised zone ranging from sub-1.0 metres up to
4.0 metres in width over an approximate 300-metre strike length.
The geology logging results confirm that the orebody continues at
depth below the Great Western open pit and provides evidence that
supports ongoing resource exploration drilling to further de-risk the
underground resource potential and test the extent of the orebody,
which remains open at depth.
Mission and Cable
Resource definition and exploration drilling completed at the
Mission and Cable prospects, located 10km north of Darlot,
delivered high-grade assay results and identified new zones of gold
mineralisation.
The drilling program comprised a combination of reverse circulation
(RC) percussion drilling to underpin an upgrade of the historical
JORC 2004 mineral resource estimates to JORC 2012 status, as
well as exploration diamond drilling aimed at identifying new zones
of mineralisation.
At Cable, diamond exploration drilling identified a broad new zone
of mineralisation measuring between 70 and 100 metres width,
which was intersected in all diamond holes and is observable along
the entire length of the known extent of gold mineralisation.
At the Mission prospect, similar to Cable, assay results from both
the RC and diamond drill programs have been encouraging,
confirming good continuity of gold mineralisation and identifying
new zones of mineralisation within the historical oxide mineral
resource.

MANAGING DIRECTOR’S Report (cont.)
CORPORATE
Divestment of Siana gold project
In September 2021, Red 5 completed the divestment of its interests
in Philippine affiliated company Greenstone Resources Corporation
(GRC), which holds both the Siana and Mapawa gold projects in the
Philippines, to TVI Resource Development (Phils.) Inc. (TVIRD).
TVIRD is the Philippine affiliate of the Canadian-listed TVI Pacific
Inc. TVIRD has two operating mines and a number of other
development projects in the Philippines with interests in gold, nickel
and copper.
Consideration for the transaction comprised US$19m cash, which
was received during the reporting period. In addition, the sale
consideration includes an entitlement to a net smelter return royalty
of 3.25% for up to 619,000 ounces of gold, which will become
payable from first gold from the restart of the Siana processing
plant. Based on an assumed gold price of US$1,800/oz, this royalty
has an estimated future face value of US$36m.
The divestment of its interests in the Siana and Mapawa projects is
consistent with Red 5’s strategy to focus on its KOTH and Darlot
gold mines in Western Australia.
Financial
The Group recorded sales revenue of $165.0 million for the 2022
financial year. Net cash outflows from operating activities was
$2.4 million with $55.6 million in cash and bullion at year-end, of
which $15.7 million was allocated to reserve accounts and bank
guarantees for the KOTH project.
For the year ended 30 June 2022, the Company recorded a gross
loss from operations of $31.1 million and a net loss after income tax
of $28.6 million.
SUMMARY AND OUTLOOK
With production now ramping up at the new, long-life KOTH gold
mine, the coming financial year is set to be a defining period for Red
5, with the Company expected to join the ranks of mid-tier
Australian gold producers during FY-23.
The new modern 4.7Mtpa mill at KOTH provides a platform for Red
5’s next growth chapter, with the capacity to process ore from
Darlot to deliver a reduction in group operating costs.
While much of the focus over the past year has been on our
activities at KOTH, we have also laid the foundations for new growth
and development at Darlot, with a high-rate development strategy
initiated in early FY-22 set to unlock new mining areas in the Middle
Walters South, Pedersen and Burswood areas of the Darlot
underground in FY-23.
In parallel with our mining and processing operations, Red 5 will
also continue its exploration and resource development activities,
with targeted drilling programs planned across key targets over the
coming year.
All these activities will be conducted with a commitment to the
Company’s environment, social and governance principles. Further
information regarding the Company’s ESG activities is contained in
the following section of this report.

2022 ANNUAL REPORT
ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE Summary
FY22 OVERVIEW
FY-22 marked a defining period in Red 5’s growth pathway to
becoming a mid-tier Australian gold producer. The construction,
ramp up and delivery of the King of the Hills (KOTH) Mine was
achieved on time and within budget. Throughout the year, the
Company’s key Environment, Social and Governance (ESG)
focus was:
1. maintaining compliance.
2. maximising water efficiency.
3. minimising waste.
4.
improving our carbon footprint.
5. stakeholder engagement.
ENVIRONMENT
Water management
KOTH mine dewatering and existing production bores around the
open pit provided the necessary water supply for the KOTH
processing plant construction, commissioning and ramp up. The
re-commissioned Sullivan Creek borefield, including four new
production bores, mine dewatering and recycled tailings decant
water will continue to support operations going forward.
Routine monitoring is vital to the sustainability of our groundwater resources.
Waste management
In FY-22 a specialist waste management contractor was engaged
to demolish the remains of the historical processing and
administration infrastructure at KOTH, as well as provide waste
management services for the operations. Disposal and recycling
processes across the operation will continue to be refined and
improved in collaboration with business partners, which will include
a new landfill, scrap storage/salvage and bioremediation area
planned for construction in early FY-23.
Green House Gas management
Power for the KOTH operation is sourced from an onsite hybrid
gas-solar power station. This has significantly reduced the
operation’s carbon footprint relative to a diesel fuelled power
generation alternative. The installation includes a 2MW solar farm
and solar arrays to power some production bores further reduces
the operation’s carbon emissions.
Solar farm at KOTH providing 2MW to the operation.
Borefield powered by a solar array.
SOCIAL
Cultural heritage
The landscape in the region holds special significance for local
traditional owners. Surveys involving specialist archaeologists,
anthropologists and the traditional owners have taken place in all
areas of our operation. Sites of importance have been mapped and
integrated into our mine planning process to avoid these sites and
protecting them for the future.
Red 5 is committed to engaging and consulting with traditional
owners to ensure protection of important cultural heritage values
and to maintain a positive relationship between the Darlot people
and Red 5.
Human capital
Red 5 is committed to ensuring that it is an employer of choice and
that it provides a safe, respectful work environment for all its
employees. It has in place a Diversity Policy and will look to further
develop its diversity activities having regard to the challenging
Western Australian market for talent.
Red 5 notes the reports prepared for the Western Australian
Parliament in 2022 titled “Sexual Harassment on Women in the
FIFO Mining Industry” and has developed a program in response
for implementation in FY23.
Community relations
Red 5 operates in a sparsely populated region with the main
communities being in the township of Leonora and several local
landowners. A number of providers located in the region benefit
from the Red 5 operations through provision of services.
Red 5’s presence additionally benefits the community through our
emergency medical facilities and medical response capability and
various levels of assistance to our surrounding pastoralists.

2022 ANNUAL REPORT
MINERAL RESOURCES AND ORE RESERVES Statement
WESTERN AUSTRALIAN GOLD OPERATIONS
KING OF THE HILLS GOLD PROJECT
The Mineral Resource for the King of the Hills (KOTH) project has
increased by 6% for an additional 277koz since 30 June 2021.
During the 2022 financial year, Red 5 completed a 70,000 metre
reverse circulation (RC) open-pit grade control program targeting
stage 1 of the KOTH open-pit and an approximate 40,100 metres of
underground drilling for stope de-risking and resource
development. The 7 x 7 metre spaced open-pit grade control
program has been modelled and reported as Measured along with
a full resource update on available assays for underground for the
30 June 2022 resource model update.
The combined open-pit and underground Ore Reserve at KOTH,
which includes regional open pit reserves, as at 30 June 2022 is
70.2Mt @ 1.2g/t for 2.66Moz of contained ounces. This represents
an increase of 12.7% for an additional 300koz, net after depletion
since 30 June 2021. The key catalyst for this growth is in the KOTH
open-pit where grade control drilling has driven the reclassification
of waste into ore and the deepening of the ultimate pit design.
The KOTH Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimates, net of
mining depletion, as at 30 June 2022 are detailed on the next page.
The KOTH Mineral Resource, which includes all historic stockpiles,
ROM and underground broken stocks, as at 30 June 2022 is
105.5Mt@ 1.4g/t for 4.75Moz of contained ounces.

MINERAL RESOURCES AND ORE RESERVES Statement (cont.)
DARLOT GOLD PROJECT
The Mineral Resource for the Darlot Gold Project has increased by 25% for an additional 366koz since 30 June 2021. This resource
increase has been the result of several factors including updated resource models for the Middle Walters South, Centenary and Pederson
deposits, improved accuracy of the lode interpretations at Darlot as a result of the additional resource drilling reported. This also includes
the inaugural release of the JORC 2012 resource modelling of Mission and Cable deposits. These resources form part of the exclusive
sub-lease over the southern portion of Exploration Licence E37/1220.
The Darlot Gold Project Mineral Resource as at 30 June 2022, which includes all stockpiles, ROM, and underground broken stocks, is
17.1Mt @ 3.4g/t for 1.84Moz of contained ounces.
The Ore Reserve for the Darlot Gold Project has decreased by 12.8% for a reduction of 16koz, net after depletion since 30 June 2021. The
major contributors to the decrease are the change in cut-off grade driven by cost inflation and the depletion of the Great Western open-pit
which completed mining in FY22. Further work is scheduled to progress in FY23 to convert the Great Western underground resource to
reserves. The Darlot Gold Project Ore Reserves as at 30 June 2022 is 1.3Mt @ 2.6g/t for 109koz of contained ounces.
The Darlot Gold Project Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimates, net of mining depletion, as at 30 June 2022 are detailed below.

2022 ANNUAL REPORT
DIRECTORS’ Report (cont.)
3. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The consolidated result for Red 5 Limited was a net loss after
income tax for the year ended 30 June 2022 of $28,615,000 (2021:
Loss of $43,245,000). The consolidated result incorporates two
one-off adjustments:
1. With the Darlot underground transitioning to a satellite mine
providing ore to King of the Hills, accelerated depreciation and
impairments for the Darlot Process Plant (now in care and
maintenance) totalled $22.585 million.
2. Completing the Siana Gold Mine divestment resulted in a gain
from discontinued operations of $20.049 million.
The current year results include an unaudited underlying EBITDA (a)
loss of $4,258,000 (2021: Profit of $11,635,000).

3.1 OPERATING REVIEW
Red 5, with the support of its EPC partner MACA Interquip,
completed construction of Red 5’s new King of the Hills Gold Mine
(KOTH) within budget and on schedule, with the first gold pour on
5 June 2022.
Meanwhile, Red 5 delivered steady-state gold production from its
Darlot Gold Mine, with ore sourced from the Darlot underground
mine and Great Western satellite open pit mine. In July 2022, the
Darlot process plant was placed into care and maintenance, with
the Darlot underground mine transitioning to a satellite mine to
King of the Hills.
(a) Covid-19 response
Red 5 continues to manage and mitigate the potential impact of
the COVID-19 global pandemic on the Company’s operations. The
Management Response Plan remains focused on ensuring the
health and safety of Red 5 personnel and limiting the disruption
risk to our operations.
This plan has been progressively developed in line with the formal
guidance of State and Federal health authorities, in close
coordination with the Australian Resources and Energy Group
(AMMA) and under the Company’s existing Emergency
Management Policies.

(KOTH) project
FY22 marked a defining period in Red 5’s growth pathway to
becoming a mid-tier Australian gold producer with the
construction of the KOTH project. First gold at KOTH was
achieved on 5 June 2022, with construction completed on time
and on budget. This was achieved despite a very challenging
operating environment due to COVID-19, closed borders and
disruptions to both global supply chains and local labour markets.
The new 4.7Mtpa process plant is now commissioned and
ramping up towards full production. The SAG mill is currently
operating at moderate load and power draw, which is indicative of
the potential of this low-cost processing hub.
The open pit and underground mines are both operational and are
delivering ore to the process plant. Deliveries of ore from the
Darlot satellite underground mine began in August 2022, and the
processing plant is ramping up towards the target throughput of
4.7Mtpa. There is a significant amount of ore on the KOTH ROM
pad, representing approximately three months of production.

In July 2022, the Darlot Gold Mine has transitioned to a satellite
underground mine to King of the Hills, with the majority of surface
employees at Darlot transitioning or having already transitioned to
King of the Hills. As a result, the Darlot process plant has been
placed into care and maintenance. Following a review of the
related assets at Darlot, one-off accelerated depreciation and
inventory write-downs totalling $22.585 million have been applied
in FY22.
(d)
Siana Gold Project, Philippines
In July 2021, the Group entered into a binding agreement with TVI
Resource Development (Phils) Inc to divest its interests in
Philippine-affiliated company, Greenstone Resources Corporation
(GRC), which holds the Siana Gold Project and the Mapawa Gold
Project in the Philippines. Financial close on this transaction was
achieved in September 2021. These transactions have been
classified as discontinued for the purpose of the financial
statements.
(e)
Exploration and Resource Development
During FY2022, results were reported for drilling completed at the
Darlot Underground Mine, delivering high-grade results from
multiple locations. The drilling forms part of an ongoing
exploration and Resource development program at Darlot focused
on extending new mining areas such as Middle Walters South and
reducing the dependency on remnant mining. Results reported
included strong intercepts from Middle Waters South and positive
results from Dar-Cent, Oval 1300 and Pedersen Lower, all of which
offer the opportunity for Resource growth. Full details of the
drilling and assay results were provided in the Company’s ASX
Announcement dated 22 February 2022.
Darlot also commenced drilling as part of the government-funded
Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) hole (CAX0075) which
commenced in the June Quarter. The hole is designed primarily to
target the Pipeline Fault to the south of the underground workings
proximal to an interpreted jog or zone of flattening. This change in
geometry could generate a favourable dilation and mineralisation
site. The hole also intersects the Lords Fault enroute to target,
with the nearest existing drill hole approximately 350 metres north
of the target area.
For regional exploration, the Exploration team focused on several
geochemical surveys utilising a Portable X-ray analysis tool across
the exploration tenements. Upon completion of this work, the
team used the results to refine existing programs and identified
additional grass root targets.
(f)
Corporate
During the year, the Group drew down all of the $175 million debt
funding package supporting the construction and development of
King of the Hills. Repayments of the debt funding package will
commence in December 2022 over four years. Borrowing
establishment costs of $2.730 million were capitalised to the loan.
Ms Fiona Harris AM was appointed as a Non-Executive Director of
the Board, effective from 8 June 2022.
Red 5 has appointed Mr Patrick Duffy as Chief Financial Officer of
the Company, effective from 1 September 2022. Mr Duffy is
currently Red 5’s Chief Corporate Development Officer, and this
role will be consolidated with the CFO position.
Consideration under the transaction was as follows:
\ US$19 million cash (approximately A$25.3 million) paid upon
3.2 FINANCIAL REVIEW
completion; and
(a) Gold sales
\ Net Smelter Return royalty of 3.25% payable for up to 619,000
ounces of gold, with an estimated future face value of US$36
million (based on a US$1,800/oz gold price). As per the
accounting standards, the royalty represents a variable
consideration and is treated as a contingent asset pending
re-commencement of production at Siana, hence royalty
accounting value is not recorded as at 30 June 2022.
The completion of the divestment in the Siana Gold Mine resulted
in a gain from discontinued operations of $20.049 million in FY22.
Gold and silver sales for the reporting period totalled
$164,962,000 with 64,315 gold ounces sold at an average price of
$2,526 per ounce (2021: $173,358,000 with 75,907 gold ounces
sold at an average price of $2,252 per ounce).

3.2 FINANCIAL REVIEW (cont.)
(b)
Income statement
The Group recorded a net loss after tax for the year ended
30 June 2022 of $28,615,000 in comparison to a net loss after tax
for the year ended 30 June 2021 of $43,245,000. The consolidated
result incorporates two one-off adjustments:
1. With the Darlot underground transitioning to a satellite mine
providing ore to King of the Hills, accelerated depreciation and
inventory write-down for the Darlot Process Plant (now in care
and maintenance) totalled $22.585 million in FY22.
2. The completion of the divestment in the Siana Gold Mine
resulted in a gain from discontinued operations of $20.049
million.
64,315 ounces of gold was sold during the year, predominantly
from the Darlot operation, which, together with silver sales and
hedging adjustments, resulted in total revenue of $164,962,000.
Cost of sales for the period of $196,049,000 comprised
production costs, royalties, movement in stockpiles and
depreciation charges (including the $22,585,000 relating to Darlot
accelerated depreciation and inventory write-down).
(c) Balance sheet
Total assets increased from $345,485,000 to $577,365,000 at 30
June 2022. The net increase in total assets was driven by the
construction of the KOTH processing plant and related
infrastructure, mine development and right of use assets
associated with major contracts.
Total liabilities were $394,570,000, an increase of $279,961,000
from 30 June 2021. This was mainly driven by fully drawing down
the KOTH construction facility of $175,000,000 and the
recognition of right-of-use lease liabilities at KOTH of
$96,098,000.
(d) Cash flow
During the year, cash and cash equivalents increased by
$14,398,000.
Net cash outflows from operating activities for the period were
$2,359,000. Cash receipts from customers of $158,606,000 reflect
the sale of gold and silver, which benefited from higher gold prices
during the year. This was offset by cash outflows of $160,695,000,
driven by operational spending at Darlot and Great Western,
exploration activities and interest payments.
Net cash outflows used in investing activities for the period were
$160,104,000, reflecting the completed construction of the King of
the Hills processing plant ($94,844,000) and mine development
activities ($82,729,000). This was partially offset by proceeds from
selling the Siana operation in the Philippines ($21,467,000).
The net cash from financing activities of $176,861,000 reflects
the net proceeds received from the construction facility
($175,000,000) and the transfer of $13,000,000 from restricted
cash for the construction of the new tailings storage facility at
King of the Hills. This is offset by payments made on lease
liabilities ($8,409,000) and debt establishment and interest
costs ($2,730,000).
4. DIVIDENDS
No amounts were paid by way of dividends since the end of
the previous financial year (2021: Nil). At the time of this report,
the Directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend.
5. OPTIONS GRANTED OVER SHARES
No options were granted during or since the end of the financial
year. No person entitled to exercise the options has any right by
virtue of the option to participate in any share issue of Red 5 or
any other corporation.

against the All Ordinaries Gold Index and increases in ore
reserves), measured over the three years ended 30 June 2022.
Upon vesting, 5,576,211 Performance Rights have been exercised
into an equivalent number of ordinary fully paid shares in
accordance with the terms of the Plan. The balance of 4,865,820
Performance Rights were forfeited due to performance conditions
not being met (being operating costs performance against budget
and safety compliance) and personnel exiting the company during
the performance period.

INDEMNIFICATION AND
INSURANCE OF DIRECTORS,
OFFICERS
The Company has made an agreement indemnifying all the
Directors and officers of the Company against all losses or
liabilities incurred by each Director or officer in their capacity as
Directors or officers of the Company to the extent permitted by
the Corporations Act 2001. The indemnification specifically
excludes wilful acts of negligence. The Company paid insurance
premiums in respect of Director’s and Officer’ Liability Insurance
contracts for current officers of the Company, including officers of
the Company’s controlled entities. The liabilities insured are
damages and legal costs that may be incurred in defending civil or
criminal proceedings that may be brought against the officers in
their capacity as officers of entities in the Group. During the
financial year, Red 5 paid premiums of $459,687 (2021: $318,825).

DIRECTORS’ Report (cont.)
8. EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO THE
END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR
In the first quarter of FY23, the Darlot Gold Mine’s processing
plant was wound down and the Darlot operation has been
transitioned to a satellite underground mine to provide ore to King
of the Hills, with the majority of surface employees at Darlot
transitioning or having already transitioned to King of the Hills. As
a result, the Darlot process plant was placed into care and
maintenance in July 2022.
Other than the matters discussed above, there has not arisen in
the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of
this report any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual
nature likely, in the opinion of the directors of the Company, to
significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of
those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group, in future
financial years.
9.
LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS
AND EXPECTED RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
In the opinion of the Directors, the successful completion of the
KOTH Project will transform the future operating and financial
performance of the Group. In the first half of FY23, KOTH is
expected to steadily ramp up to full commercial production and
deliver a step-change in operational performance and cost
efficiency. This will establish a stable platform for continued
growth and development at Red 5 well into the future.
10. BUSINESS STRATEGY AND
PROSPECTS FOR FUTURE YEARS
Business strategy
The Group’s business strategy is firmly anchored in the Company
vision of being a successful multi-operational exploration and
mining company, providing benefits to all stakeholders, through
the consistent application of technical excellence, and responsible
and sustainable industry practices.
With KOTH gold production ramping up in the first half of FY23,
the Company is looking forward to another transformational year
as it takes further important steps to deliver on its strategy of
becoming a substantial Australian gold producer. To achieve the
strategy, the Company will focus on:
\ Unlocking the full potential of the KOTH operation;
\ Attracting and retaining an experienced leadership and
operating team; and
\ Enhancing balance sheet strength and scale to achieve
growth through economic and commodity price cycles.
The substantial KOTH mineral resource and reserves underpin the
future of Red 5, with the large KOTH bulk open pit providing the
primary feed to the KOTH process plant, complemented by the
additional higher-grade ore sources from the KOTH and Darlot
underground mines. The longer-term strategy at KOTH is to
expand the processing capacity, and to this end, the Company will
embark on targeted technical studies to optimise and realise the
full potential of this long-life deposit. The business plans
associated with the strategy are in place, and the LOM plans
demonstrate very robust future cash flows. The positive cash flow
generated over a 16-year mine life will position the Company in the
future to evaluate and undertake strategic acquisitions that align
with the goal of becoming a major regional gold producer.
Material Business Risks
Red 5’s business, operating and financial results and performance
are subject to various risks and uncertainties, some of which are
beyond the Company’s reasonable control. Set out below are
matters which the Directors consider relevant and that have the
potential to impact the achievement of the business strategies.
The matters identified are not necessarily listed in order of
importance and are not intended as an exhaustive list of all
business risks and uncertainties.
External economic drivers (including macroeconomic,
metal prices and exchange rates)
\ The Company is exposed to fluctuations in the Australian
dollar gold price, which can impact future revenue streams. As
a mitigation, the Company has a partial gold price hedging
program to assist in offsetting variations in the Australian
dollar gold price, providing price certainty over a fixed portion
of future production.
\ The Company is exposed to global inflationary pressures
across a range of input costs such as oil and gas, operating
and maintenance parts and consumables and labour. As a
mitigation the company collaborates with its suppliers to
identify ways to manage these cost pressures.
Reserves and Resources:
\ The Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves for the Group’s
assets are estimates only in compliance with industry
standards, and no assurance can be given that future
production will achieve the expected tonnages and grades.
26
2022 ANNUAL REPORT
Capital and Liquidity
\ The Company has processes in place to monitor and manage
its liquidity and capital structure to ensure sufficient funds are
available to meet the Group’s financial commitments. Red 5
has a single debt facility with external financiers.
Health and Safety
\ Red 5 has implemented management systems which promote
a strong safety culture and support a genuine commitment to
keep its people and stakeholders safe and healthy. The
Company’s safety management practices are focused on a
bottom-up approach supporting the organisational values.
Environmental
\ The Company has environmental liabilities associated with its
tenements. The Company monitors its ongoing environmental
obligations and risks and implements preventative,
rehabilitation and corrective actions as appropriate.
Community relations
\ Red 5 has an established community relations function that
includes principles, policies and procedures designed to
provide a structured and consistent approach to community
activities. Red 5 recognises that a failure to manage local
community stakeholder expectations appropriately may lead
to dissatisfaction, potentially disrupting production and
exploration activities.
11. ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS
The consolidated entity is subject to significant environmental
regulation in respect to its mineral exploration activities. These
obligations are regulated under relevant government authorities
within Australia. The consolidated entity is a party to exploration
and development licences and has beneficial interests in Mineral
Production Sharing Agreements. Generally, these licences and
agreements specify the environmental regulations applicable to
exploration and mining operations in the respective jurisdictions.
The consolidated entity aims to ensure that it complies with the
identified regulatory requirements in each jurisdiction in which it
operates.
Compliance with environmental obligations is monitored by the
Risk and Environment Committee. There have been no significant
environmental breaches during the year ended 30 June 2022.
DIRECTORS’ Report (cont.)
10. BUSINESS STRATEGY
AND PROSPECTS FOR
FUTURE YEARS (cont.)
Operational risks:
\ Drilling, mining and processing activities carry risk and as
such, activities may be curtailed, delayed or cancelled as a
result of a number of factors outside the Company’s control.
These include geological conditions, technical difficulties,
securing and maintaining tenements, weather, residue storage
and tailings storage facility failures and construction of
efficient processing facilities. The operation may be affected
by force majeure, fires, labour disruptions and availability,
landslides, the inability to obtain adequate machinery,
engineering difficulties and other unforeseen events. As with
most mines, reserves, resources and stockpiles are based on
estimates of grade, volume and tonnage. The accuracy and
precision of these estimates will depend upon drill spacing
and other information such as continuity, geology, rock
density, metallurgical characteristics, mining dilution and
costs, etc. which evolve as the mine moves through different
parts of the ore body. Red 5 endeavours to take appropriate
action to mitigate these operational risks (including by
properly documenting arrangements with counterparties and
adopting industry best practice policies and procedures) or to
insure against them, but the occurrence of any one or a
combination of these events may have a material adverse
effect on the Company’s performance and the value of its
assets.
COVID-19
\ Red 5 has continued to manage the Company’s ongoing
response to COVID-19 in cooperation with our contractors.
The COVID-19 situation remains unpredictable, and the
Company will continue to monitor and manage for potential
impacts, particularly around labour availability.
\ The Company is maintaining a range of measures across its
business consistent with advice from State and Federal health
authorities and commensurate with the community risk profile.
These measures help ensure the health and welfare of our
employees and their respective communities.
Legal compliance and maintaining title
\ The Company has systems and processes in place to ensure
title to all its properties, but these can be subject to dispute or
unforeseen regulatory changes.
Climate Change
\ Changes to climate-related regulations and government policy
have the potential to impact our future financial results. These
changes may include the imposition of a carbon tax on carbon
output or the implementation of new regulatory requirements
for diesel or other fossil fuel consumption used in Red 5’s
operations.

12. REMUNERATION REPORT
LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF BOARD
Dear shareholders
I am pleased to present Red 5’s Remuneration Report for the Financial Year to 30 June 2022 (FY22).
FY22 Performance Summary
The last 12 months has seen Red 5 navigate through the enduring impact from the COVID-19 pandemic, chronic labour skill
shortages and global breakdown in the supply chain of key parts and spares.
Despite these challenges, Red 5 has achieved significant milestones over the year including successful commencement on time
and budget of the KOTH mine, and meeting the production guidance for the Darlot mine. These outcomes translated to significant
share price out-performance (see Chart 1) and assured enduring organisation capability key to the sustainable growth of Red 5
and ongoing value to shareholders.

Remuneration Outcomes
When determining the FY22 remuneration outcomes, the Board
has carefully considered the achievements made over the year
in combination with the unforeseen factors that have impacted
the Company. The Board believes the outcomes (as outlined
below) are reasonable as they provide appropriate alignment
between executive performance, shareholder returns and
recognition of executive retention criticality over the next
business phase. Refer to Section 12.5 for further details.
\ Total Fixed Remuneration (TFR): the TFR for Managing
Director and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) increased by 7%
(from $643,200 to $687,500) and 6% (from $415,388 to
$440,000) over the year. The TFR adjustments were
considered necessary to ensure market competitiveness
based on external remuneration benchmarking analysis.
\ Short Term Incentive Plan (STI): while the production
gateway was not met, the Board exercised its discretion to
award 50% STI outcomes to executives which were settled
in Service Rights subject to continued employment. This
decision recognises the magnitude of external unforeseen
factors outside of management’s control which have
influenced the production gateway and other STI metrics
such as all in sustaining costs. Refer to Section 11.5.2 for
further details.
\ Long Term Incentive Plan (LTI): Red 5’s total shareholder
return over the past three years (19.92%) represents
significant outperformance against the S&P/ASX All
Ordinaries Gold Index (-10.98%). Ore reserves over the
same period have grown by well over 200%. Achieving
stretch levels in these two metrics has resulted in 70% of
FY20 LTI awards vesting in FY22. Refer to Section 11.5.3
for further details.
\ NED Fees: there were no increases to the NED fees in
FY22.

2022 ANNUAL REPORT
DIRECTORS’ Report (cont.)
Changes to the Remuneration Framework
The Board regularly reviews our executive remuneration structure
to ensure it continues to drive shareholder value and enables us to
attract and retain the talent we need. As we embed our new
flagship KOTH mine, the Board has decided to adopt changes to
our remuneration arrangements to further strengthen the
alignment of executives with key business imperatives and
ensuring a focus on long-term sustainability of returns for
shareholders. These changes are summarised below. Refer to
Section 11.7 for details.
FY22 - Discontinue the Project Incentive Opportunity (PIO)
The PIO was implemented in FY22 as a one-off program at a
critical stage of the business, specifically designed to align CEO
and executives on delivering the flagship KOTH project and
achieving production targets at the Darlot site. With KOTH now
successfully commissioned, outcomes of the PIO metrics will be
evaluated after 30 June 2023 being the end of the performance
period. The performance achievements and any vesting outcomes
will be provided in the 2024 Remuneration Report.
FY23 – Rebalance the pay mix for the CEO and executives
Recognising Red 5’s growth as a gold producer and alignment
with market peers, the Board has rebalanced the pay mix to
enhance the focus of executives over the longer term. This will see
CEO and executives remuneration mix decrease in weighting for
annual incentives (STI) and increase in weighting for long term
incentives (LTI).
FY23 – Simplify the deferred equity structure and
rebalance performance measures for STI
STI outcomes for the CEO and executives will continue to be
delivered in 50% cash and 50% deferred equity, comprising
Service Rights. To simplify and align with contemporary market
practice, the deferred equity structure will be in the form of
service-based rights only which may vest subject to 12 month
continued employment. Previously it was in the form of both
service-based and deferred rights. Short term metrics
linked to the STI will also be rebalanced to equal weightings
across all short term key performance indicators.
FY23 - Remove the re-testing mechanism and
production gateway from the LTI
The re-testing mechanism for the relative Total Shareholder
Return (TSR) vesting hurdle will be removed, based on
misalignment with market practice and shareholder views.
Whilst the positive TSR gateway will remain, the Board has
determined the production gateway is no longer appropriate
for the LTI. This change recognises production performance
continues to be a key metric for the STI and the positive
TSR gateway requirement on the LTI is sufficient to ensure
appropriate outcomes for executives are also in the
interests of shareholders.
The Board is confident that Red 5’s current and planned
remuneration policies continue to support the financial and
strategic goals of the business as a leading gold producer.
We are committed to transparency and an ongoing dialogue
with shareholders on remuneration and to this end we have
made changes to the 2022 Remuneration Report to improve
the overall format and flow of information.
On behalf of the Board, I invite you to review the full report
and thank you for your continued support of Red 5.
Sincerely
Kevin Dundo
Chairman

12.2 REMUNERATION GOVERNANCE
KMP remuneration decision making is directed by Red 5’s remuneration governance framework as follows:
Board
Take an active role in the governance and oversight of Red 5’s remuneration policies and have
overall responsibility for ensuring that the Company’s remuneration strategy aligns with Red 5’s
short- and long-term business objectives and risk profile.
Remuneration Committee
(Committee)
Responsible for reviewing the remuneration arrangements for KMP and make recommendations to
the Board including:
\ reviewing remuneration levels and other terms of employment on an annual basis having
regard to relevant market conditions, qualifications and experience of the KMP, and
performance against targets set for each year where applicable.
\ advising the Board on the appropriateness of remuneration packages / structures of the
Company, given trends in comparative peer companies both locally and internationally, with
the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high
calibre Board and executive team.
The Committee’s charter can be found on the Company’s website at:
www.red5limited.com/site/about-red5/corporate-governance
External Remuneration
Consultants
To ensure the Committee is fully informed when making remuneration decisions, it may seek
external, independent remuneration advice on remuneration related issues.
Share trading policy
During the year, the Committee engaged consultants BDO Rewards and The Reward Practice Pty
Ltd to provide remuneration services in respect to external benchmarking and general insights for
executive incentive arrangements. During the period no remuneration recommendations, as
defined by the Corporations Act, were provided by the consultants.
Red 5’s share trading policy prohibits KMP (that are granted share-based payments as part of their
remuneration) from entering into other arrangements that limit their exposure to losses that would
result from share price decreases. Entering into such arrangements is also prohibited by law.

12.3 PRINCIPLES OF REMUNERATION
Four principles guide Red 5’s remuneration policies and practices:
Remuneration quantum
should target the middle to
upper quartile of the market
that Red 5 operates in to
attract and retain the key
talent required.
At-risk reward should be
based on the achievement of
challenging targets over the
short term (1 year) and long
term (3 years +).
Emphasis of reward
programs should be to
motivate and retain key
talent over the long term.
An appropriate mix of cash
and equity awards so that
over time executives and
employees are aligned
with the long-term interests
of shareholders.
Note NEDs do not receive remuneration related to performance or participate in any incentive plans.
12.4 EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION FRAMEWORK AND COMPONENTS
Executives receive fixed remuneration and variable remuneration consisting of short and long term incentive opportunities. Executive
remuneration levels are reviewed annually by the Remuneration Committee with reference to the remuneration guiding principles and
market movements.
The following diagram presents a high-level summary of remuneration components for executive KMP for FY22.

Fixed remuneration
Fixed remuneration consists of base salary, superannuation and optional salary sacrifice benefits.
It is designed to recognise the execution of business strategy and the qualifications, experience and accountability of executives.
It is set with reference to comparable roles in similar companies.
STI
The following table outlines the FY22 STI arrangements in detail:
What is the purpose?
\ Reward executive KMP for the achievement of Red 5’s annual targets linked to business
strategy and shareholder value;
\ Ensure that executives have commonly shared objectives related to the delivery of annual
business plans;
\ Encourage share ownership among senior roles; and
\ Provide a component of remuneration to enable the Company to compete effectively for the
calibre of talent required for it to be successful, on a short to medium term basis.
STI awards are paid in 50% cash and 50% equity following the conclusion of performance
period. The 50% equity component is to be satisfied in 25% Service Rights (subject to 12
month continued service) and 25% Deferred Rights (which vest immediately into restricted
shares which are subject to a 2 year disposal restriction).
How is it paid?
What is the target incentive
opportunity?
STI opportunity is set as a percentage of TFR. Subject to performance, the MD was entitled to
an opportunity of up to 60% and other executive KMP were entitled to an opportunity of up to
50%.
What is the performance period?
The STI is offered annually and is measured over a single financial year.
How is performance assessed?
An executive’s actual award is based on meeting KPIs set in advance of the financial year. The
KPIs comprise financial and non-financial objectives which directly align the individual’s reward
to the Company’s annual business plans. The KPIs set for the FY22 awards were:
\ Company Financial: budgeted EBITDA (30%)
\ Gold production: across both Darlot and KOTH (20%)
\ Safety: assessed by Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) and no fatalities (20%)
\ Cost management: via All-in-Sustaining-Cost (AISC) per ounce (20%)
\ Individual effectiveness: measured by Board or Managing Director (where applicable) (10%)
KPIs are set at threshold, target, and stretch levels resulting in payout at 50%, 100% and 200%
of target opportunity.
What is the gateway?
An overall gateway of 90% of budgeted gold production level must be achieved before any
award is made under the STI.
What vesting conditions / dealing
restrictions apply to the equity
components of the STI award?
The Service and Deferred Rights granted following the performance period based on KPI
outcomes and are intended to prevent the equity being sold for a period of 12 and 24 months
respectively.
\ Service Rights (50% of the equity component) vest into shares 12 months after the grant
date based on continued employment with the Company (no further restriction period
applies following the vesting);
\ Deferred Rights (50% of the equity component) vest immediately into restricted shares
which are subject to dealing restrictions for 24 months after the performance period.
The purpose of deferral / restrictions is to manage the risk of short-termism inherent in setting
short term objectives, promote sustainable value creation and build further alignment with
shareholder interest.

LTI
The following table outlines the FY22 LTI arrangements in detail:
What is the purpose?
\ To promote the alignment of interest between executives and shareholders through
the holding of equity. As such, LTI awards are generally granted to executives and
management who are able to influence the future of Red 5, and/or in a position to
contribute to shareholder wealth creation;
\ Ensure that executives have commonly shared goals related to producing relatively
high return for shareholders;
\ Encourage share ownership among senior roles;
\ Provide a component of remuneration to enable the Company to compete effectively
for the calibre of talent required for it to be successful on a long-term basis; and
\ Help retain employees, thereby minimising turnover and providing a stable workforce.
How is it paid?
LTI awards are paid in Performance Rights for nil cash consideration.
What is the LTI opportunity
The LTI opportunity is set as a percentage of TFR. Subject to performance the MD was
entitled to an opportunity of up to 60% and other executive KMP were entitled to an
opportunity of up to 45%.
What is the performance period
The LTI is considered annually and is measured over a 3-year performance period.
How is performance assessed?
LTI awards are granted at the beginning of performance period and vest based on:
\ Total Shareholder Return (TSR) compared to that of S&P/ASX All Ordinaries Gold
Index (70%); and
\ Growth of the Company’s proved and probable ore reserves (30%).
Retesting after 12 months (following the end of performance period) is available on the
relative TSR hurdle.
What is the gateway?
The following gateways must be satisfied in order for the awards to vest:
How the LTI vesting is determined?
LTI vesting is subject to the following sliding scale:
\ A positive TSR; and
\ 90% budgeted gold production level.
Relative TSR (70%)

12.4.1 One-off Project Incentive Opportunity (PIO)
The PIO is a one-off incentive designed specifically to support the successful development of the KOTH project and broader production
based objectives and help mitigate retention and attraction risks for executives and other critical employees.
PIO awards were offered at the start of FY22 and are to be delivered in 60% cash and 40% Performance Rights subject to performance
assessment (including continued employment) at 30 June 2023 in consideration of the following project metrics:
\ Gold produced (50%): based on a specified number of gold ounces produced across both the KOTH and Darlot mines based on
budgeted production schedules;
\ Ore processed (25%): based on a specified volume of ore processed at the KOTH processing plant based on forecast mining
schedules; and
\ Development metres (25%): based on a specified volume of development metres completed at the Darlot underground mine based
on forecast mining schedules.
A safety gate of no fatalities at either the KOTH or Darlot operations applies to all PIO KPIs.
The KOTH mine and process plant is progressively ramping up to full production and the Company will provide production guidance for
KOTH when it achieves steady state production in 1H FY23.
The performance hurdles are set at threshold, target and stretch levels, achievement of which will result in different vesting outcomes
(as illustrated in the following table:
Performance level

The Board will continue to monitor remuneration levels based on the factors set out in the executive remuneration framework.
12.5.2 FY22 STI outcome
Following the end of FY22 the gateway of 90% of budgeted gold production was not achieved due to several external factors that were
not known when setting the STI targets. These factors include the continued disruptions by the COVID-19 pandemic on the Red 5 key
operations and staffing levels, the increased labour market pressures across the WA gold mining industry, the global breakdown in the
supply chain of key parts and spares (which impacted the production targets).
Within the above context the Board carefully assessed the FY22 performance against set targets and exercised its discretion to
proceed with a 50% of STI outcome for all executives. The awards will be fully satisfied in Service Rights subject to an 18-month
deferral period based on continued employment with Red 5. The share price for the calculation of the number of Service Rights to be
issued will be based on the volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the Company’s shares in the 14 trading days up to 30 June 2022
($0.307).
The Board considered the STI outcome business appropriate for the following reasons:
\ Despite the unforeseen challenges Red 5 had a solid FY22 year overall where the executives had significant success in meeting key
operational targets including the successful commencement of the KOTH mine in Quarter 4 and the achievement of guidance on
production from Darlot;
\ Notwithstanding the factors which have impacted the WA gold mining sector, the Company’s share price has performed well in
FY22 compared to peers and the S&P/ASX All Ordinaries Gold Index (i.e. Red 5 total shareholder return of 31.6% vs Index of
-25.1%); and
\ As competition for executive talent within the mining industry remains extremely tight, the retention of key staff is considered a key
priority for Red 5 over the coming years. The FY22 awards in Service Rights recognise executive achievement over the year whilst
providing a retention mechanism to ensure the progression of key projects in the following 18 months.

12.7 PLANNED REMUNERATION APPROACH FOR FY23
During FY22 the Company’s executive remuneration framework was reviewed considering feedback from shareholders, market insights
on incentive structure from external remuneration consultants and the Company’s circumstances. As a result, the following key changes
to executive remuneration arrangements are planned for FY23 to ensure a strong alignment with business need, shareholder feedback
and contemporary market practice. Further details will be provided in the FY23 Remuneration Report.
Remuneration Element
FY23 Approach
TFR
\ As per the Red 5 Remuneration Framework, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee
(RNC) will review TFR levels and recommend necessary adjustments to the Board for approval.
STI
PIO
LTI
\ Any remuneration changes for KMP during FY23 will consider independent market
benchmarking outcomes, changes in executive responsibilities and trends in market for
executive talent locally.
\ Simplify the equity component (representing 50% of STI award) including removing the
Deferred Rights component of the STI and simplify the 50% equity award in the form of a
Service Right (subject to a one-year service-based vesting hurdle). This change ensures a
greater alignment with market practice, the attractiveness of the incentive package and will
reduce the administrative burden / tax complexity.
\ Rebalance the KPI weightings so that each is weighted at 20%. In light of the importance of
culture and executive behaviours in establishing the tone from the top, the individual
effectiveness weighting of 10% was lifted to 20% and the EBITDA KPI has reduced from 30% to
20%.
\ PIO discontinued. The PIO was granted in FY22 as a one-off initiative to meet the unique
demands the Company faced at the time (in a strong development and growth phase where
incentive opportunity offered is low in relation to market). The program is no longer required
considering the objectives of the program can be managed / achieved through the enhanced
STI and LTI structures in FY23 and onwards.
\ Remove design elements not aligned to market including the 12-month retesting mechanism
(in relating to the relative TSR hurdle) and the 90% gold production gateway (which is already
assessed annually in the STI).
\ No change to the relative TSR assessment approach. The Board has considered alternative
methodologies of measuring TSR performance (i.e. comparison of outperformance on a
percentage versus absolute basis). To ensure smooth implementation of other planned
changes, the Board determined to retain current approach and reassess the position in FY24.

The Tranche A Rights have been valued using a hybrid employee share option pricing model which incorporates a Monte Carlo
simulation. It uses a correlated simulation that simultaneously calculates the TSR of the Company and the Index on a risk neutral basis
as at the vesting date with regards to the measurement period. The percentage by which the return on the stock exceeds the total return
on the Index is calculated as at the vesting date and a vesting percentage is calculated from the vesting schedule. The forecast share
price at the vesting date is then used to calculate the value of the Right. The price is adjusted based on the vesting percentage, then
discounted to its present value.
Tranche B of the LTI Rights and Tranches A, B and C of the PIO Rights have non-market based vesting conditions attached and are
valued using a single share price barrier model such as a Black Scholes option pricing model.

not separate entities that provide consulting services to the Company. NEDs Colin Loosemore, Steven Tombs and Fiona Harris are paid

END OF AUDITED REMUNERATION REPORT
NON AUDIT SERVICES
13.
During the year, Red 5’s external auditors, KPMG, have provided other services in addition to their statutory audit function. Non audit
services provided by the external auditors comprised $44,546 (2021: $173,887) for non-audit services. Further details of remuneration
of the auditors are set out in Note 25.
The Board has considered the non-audit services provided during the year and is satisfied that the provision of those services is
compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act and did not compromise the
auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act, for the following reasons:
\ All non-audit services were subject to the corporate governance guidelines adopted by Red 5;
\ Non-audit services have been reviewed by the audit committee to ensure that they do not impact the impartiality or objectivity of
the auditor; and
\ The non-audit services provided do not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110
Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, as they did not involve reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a
management or decision making capacity, acting as an advocate for Red 5 or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.
AUDITOR’S INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION
14.
A copy of the auditor’s independence declaration as required under Section 307C of the Corporations Act is included immediately
following the Directors’ Report and forms part of the Directors’ Report.
ROUNDING
15.
The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191 and in
accordance with that instrument, all financial information has been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise stated.
Signed in accordance with a resolution of the Directors.

Notes to the CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2022
\ A steadily increasing production profile in line with the
expected ramp up of the mill and access to higher grade ore
from the KOTH open pit as the lower benches are accessed,
as well as higher-grade feed being delivered from the KOTH
underground mine and Darlot underground mine.
\ Gold price continuing at current market prices.
\ Operating costs have been prepared based on contracted
rates taking into account cost pressures facing the industry,
including rising costs.
\ Capital equipment sufficient to deliver the planned mine
development, completion of the Tailings Storage Facility 5 and
planned exploration activities, noting that not all of these items
have currently been contracted and that there is scope for
these to be modified if required during the course of the year.
The Directors believe the Group will be able to continue as a going
concern and recognise that:
\ The ramp up of KOTH gold production will progressively
generate positive cash flow for the Company.
\ There are risks associated with the ramp up of a new gold
mine and that the industry is operating in a highly volatile
business environment including Covid-19, supply chain
challenges, labour shortages and rising costs.
\ Where there is a mismatch in the generation of cash flows at
KOTH, the Company may formally request the lenders to vary
the timing of debt repayments and scheduled hedging under
the KOTH Project Financing Facility.
\ If required, suitable funding solutions can be sourced taking
into account KOTH’s 4.1Moz Mineral Resource and 2.4Moz
Ore Reserves, the divestment of non-core assets and
other options.
2.3 BASIS OF MEASUREMENT
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the
historical cost basis, except for derivative financial instruments
and certain other financial assets and liabilities which are required
to be measured at fair value. Share based payments are measured
at fair value. The methods used to measure fair values of share
based payments are discussed further in the Note 4.12.
Rehabilitation provisions are based on net present value and are
discussed in Note 4.14.
2.4 FUNCTIONAL AND PRESENTATION
CURRENCY
The consolidated financial report is presented in Australian
dollars, which is the Group’s presentation currency. The functional
currency of the Parent Company and the Australian subsidiaries in
which the Group holds its Australian assets is Australian dollars,
and the functional currency of the Company’s other foreign
subsidiaries is Philippine pesos. 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.
1. REPORTING ENTITY
Red 5 Limited (“parent entity” or “the Company”) is a for profit
company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares
are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. The
Consolidated Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2022
comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to
as the “Group” and individually as “Group entities”) and the
Group’s interest in associates and jointly controlled entities.
The Group is primarily involved in the exploration and mining
of gold.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
2.1 STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
The consolidated financial statements are general purpose
financial statements which have been prepared in accordance
with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) adopted by the
Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the
Corporations Act 2001. The consolidated financial statements
comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs)
adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
The consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue
by the Board of Directors on 31 August 2022.
2.2 GOING CONCERN
The Directors believe it is appropriate to prepare the consolidated
financial report on a going concern basis, which contemplates
continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of
assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of
business.
The Group’s principal cash flow generating assets are the King of
the Hills (KOTH) and the Darlot Gold Mines, which operate as a
single cash generating unit. In July 2022, Darlot has transitioned
to an underground satellite mine providing ore to KOTH, and the
Darlot process plant has been placed into care and maintenance.
The new KOTH process plant produced first gold on 5 June 2022,
and the KOTH plant and mine is now ramping up towards its
expected full production. The development of the KOTH Project
was partly funded via a $175 million Project Financing Facility
provided by Macquarie Bank, BNP Paribas and Hongkong
Shanghai Banking Corporation.
At 30 June 2022, the Group had current assets of $92.966 million,
primarily consisting of cash on hand, trade receivables and
inventories. At the same date, the Group had current liabilities of
$111.652 million comprised of trade payables, employee benefits,
loan repayments and payments due for right of use leases. A
significant portion of the working capital deficit ($18.686 million)
relates to the current portion of employee benefits and lease
liabilities, which will be funded from KOTH operational cash flows
throughout the course of the year ending 30 June 2023.
Management has prepared a cash flow forecast for the next
twelve months, which anticipates that the Group will be able to
pay its debts as and when they fall due during that period. Key
assumptions in the cashflow forecast include:

2022 ANNUAL REPORT
Notes to the CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2022 (cont.)
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (cont.)
2.5 USE OF ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements requires
management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets
and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the
disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated
financial statements. Estimates and assumptions are continually
evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other
factors, including expectations of future events that are believed
to be reasonable under the circumstances. Uncertainty about
these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that
require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or
liabilities affected in future periods.
In particular, the Group has identified a number of areas where
significant judgements, estimates and assumptions are required.
Further information on each of these areas and how they impact
the various accounting policies are described with the associated
accounting policy note within the related qualitative and
quantitative note as described below (refer note 4.22).
2.6 ROUNDING
The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations
(Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191
and in accordance with that instrument, all financial information
has been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars, unless
otherwise stated.
3. REMOVAL OF PARENT ENTITY
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Group has applied amendments to the Corporations Act 2001
that remove the requirement for the Group to lodge parent entity
financial statements. Parent entity financial statements have been
replaced by the specific parent entity disclosures in Note 35.
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
The accounting policies set out below have been applied
consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements
and have been applied consistently by the consolidated entity.
4.1 PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial report incorporates the assets and
liabilities of all entities controlled by the Company as at 30 June
2022 and the results of all controlled entities for the year then
ended. The Company and its controlled entities together are
referred to in this financial report as the consolidated entity.
The financial statements of controlled entities are prepared for
the same reporting period as the parent entity, using consistent
accounting policies. Intra-group balances and transactions, and
any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group
transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated
financial statements.
Where control of an entity is obtained during a financial period,
its results are included only from the date upon which control
commences. Where control of an entity ceases during a financial
period, its results are included for that part of the period during
which control existed. Non-controlling interests in equity and
results of the entities which are controlled by the consolidated
entity are shown as a separate item in the consolidated
financial statements.
4.2 FINANCE INCOME AND EXPENSES
Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested.
Interest income is recognised as it accrues, using the effective
interest rate method. Finance expenses comprise interest
expense on borrowings and amortisation of loan borrowing costs.
Loan borrowing costs are amortised using the effective interest
rate method. Interest incurred on loans for the construction of a
qualifying asset is capitalised to the qualifying asset.
4.3 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment includes land and buildings, plant
and equipment, fixtures and fittings, right-of-use assets and
assets under construction. All assets acquired are initially
recorded at their cost of acquisition, being the fair value of the
consideration provided plus incidental costs directly attributable
to the acquisition.
Land and buildings are measured at cost less accumulated
depreciation on the buildings. Buildings are depreciated on a
straight-line basis over the life of mine.
Plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated
depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Items of
plant and equipment are depreciated using a combination of units
of production, straight line and diminishing value methods,
commencing from the time they are installed and ready for use, or
in respect of internally constructed assets, from the date the asset
is completed and ready for use. Depreciation of the processing
plant is based on life of mine. The expected useful lives of plant
and equipment are between 3 and 13 years. Depreciation
methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each
reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
Fixtures and fittings include office equipment and computer
hardware and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their
expected useful lives between 3 and 13 years.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost less accumulated
depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. They are
depreciated using the straight-line method from the
commencement date to the end of the lease term, unless the
lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Group by
the end of the lease term, or the cost of the right-of-use asset
reflects that the Group will exercise a purchase option. In that
case the right-of-use assets are depreciated over the useful life of
the underlying asset.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
4.7 MINE PROPERTIES
POLICIES (cont.)
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
4.4
Intangible assets mainly comprise capitalised software. Intangible
assets are initially recorded at cost of acquisition, being the fair
value of the consideration provided plus incidental costs directly
attributable to the acquisition. Capitalised software is amortised
on a straight-line basis over three years commencing when it is
available for use.
4.5
INVENTORIES
Gold in circuit, bullion on hand and ore stockpiles are physically
measured or estimated and valued at the lower of cost and net
realisable value. Cost represents the weighted average cost and
comprises direct material, labour, and an appropriate portion of
fixed and variable production overhead expenditure on the basis
of normal operating capacity, including depreciation and
amortisation incurred in converting materials to finished products.
Inventories of consumable supplies and spare parts expected to
be used in production are valued at the lower of cost and net
realisable value. Any provision for obsolescence or damage is
determined by reference to specific stock items identified. The
carrying value of those items identified, if any, is written down to
net realisable value.
4.6 EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION
ASSETS
Exploration and evaluation assets are accumulated at cost in
respect of each identifiable area of interest. Costs incurred in
respect of generative, broad scale exploration activities are
expensed in the period in which they are incurred, other than
costs relating to acquisitions. Costs incurred for each area of
interest where a resource or reserve estimated in accordance
with JORC guidelines has been identified, are capitalised.
The costs are only carried forward to the extent they are expected
to be recouped through the successful development of the area,
or where further work is to be performed to provide
additional information.
When production commences, the accumulated costs for the
relevant area of interest will be amortised over the life of the area
according to the rate of depletion of reserves. A regular review is
undertaken of each area of interest to determine the
appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to
that area of interest. Accumulated costs in relation to an
abandoned area will be written off in full to the Statement of Profit
or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income in the year in which the
decision to abandon the area is made.
Mine development:
Pre-Production: Costs incurred in the development of a mine
before production commences are capitalised as part of the mine
development costs, with the exception of any costs relating to the
pre-production sale of products which is expensed to the
Statement of Profit or Loss. All capitalised development costs
incurred within that area of interest are capitalised and carried at
cost. Costs are amortised from the commencement of
commercial production over the productive life of the project on a
unit-of-production basis, based on reserves.
Post-Production: Costs incurred in developing further areas of the
mine are capitalised as part of the mine development costs and
are amortised over the productive life of the project on a unit-of-
production basis, based on reserves.
Deferred waste mining costs: Stripping costs incurred after the
commencement of production are generally considered to create
two benefits, being either the production of inventory or improved
access to the ore to be mined in the future. Where the benefits are
realised in the form of inventory produced in the period, the
production stripping costs are accounted for as part of the cost of
producing those inventories. Where the benefits are realised in the
form of improved access to ore to be mined in the future, the
costs are recognised as a non-current asset, if the following
criteria is met:
\ Future economic benefits (being improved access to the
ore body) are probable;
\ The component of the ore body for which access will be
improved can be accurately identified; and
\ The costs associated with the improved access can be
reliably measured.
If all the criteria are not met, the production stripping costs are
charged to profit or loss as they are incurred.
Depreciation of the stripping activity asset is determined on a unit
of production basis over the life of the asset based on reserves for
each area of interest.
Mineral rights:
Mineral rights comprise identifiable exploration and evaluation
assets, mineral resources and ore reserves, which are acquired as
part of a business combination or joint venture acquisition and are
recognised at fair value at the date of acquisition. Where possible,
mineral interests are attributable to specific areas of interest and
are classified within mine properties, and are amortised over the
life of the mine.
Asset retirement obligation:
Asset retirement obligation represents the estimated future cost of
closure and rehabilitation of the mine site. It is amortised over the
life of the mine.

Notes to the CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2022 (cont.)
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES (cont.)
IMPAIRMENT
4.8
At each reporting date, the consolidated entity reviews and tests
the carrying value of assets when events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be
recoverable. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the
consolidated entity makes a formal estimate of recoverable
amount. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its
recoverable amount the asset is considered impaired and is
written down to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are
recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other
Comprehensive Income unless the asset has previously been
revalued, in which case the impairment loss is recognised as a
reversal to the extent of that previous revaluation with any excess
recognised through the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other
Comprehensive Income.
Calculation of recoverable amount
Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs of
disposal and value in use. It is determined for an individual asset,
unless it does not generate cash inflows that are largely
independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in
which case the recoverable amount is determined for the
cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The estimated
future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a
pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of
the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
4.9
INCOME TAX
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income
tax expense is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent
that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case
it is recognised in equity.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for
the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at
reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of
previous years. Deferred income tax is provided using the
balance sheet liability method on all temporary differences at the
balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities
and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible
temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax assets and
unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable
profit will be available against which the deductible temporary
differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax assets and
unused tax losses can be utilised. A deferred income tax asset is
not recognised where the deferred income tax asset relating to
the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial
recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a
business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects
neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at
each balance date and reduced to the extent it is no longer
probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all
or part of the deferred income tax to be utilised.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax
rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is
realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws)
that have been enacted at the balance date. Income taxes
relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in
equity and not in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other
Comprehensive Income.
4.10 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Non-derivative financial instruments
Non-derivative financial instruments comprise investments in
equity and debt securities, trade and other receivables, cash and
cash equivalents, loans and borrowings and trade and other
creditors. Non-derivative financial instruments are recognised
initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs.
Subsequent to initial recognition, non-derivative financial
instruments are measured as described below.
Trade and other receivables are carried at amortised cost. Trade
receivables are non-interest bearing. Loans and borrowings are
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method,
less any impairment losses. Liabilities for trade creditors and other
amounts are carried at amortised cost. Trade payables are
non-interest bearing and are normally settled on 30 day terms.
For trade receivables, the Group uses the simplified approach to
recognise impairments based on the lifetime expected credit loss.
For other receivables, the Group applies the general approach
and recognises impairments based on a 12-month expected
credit loss. Impairment allowances are based on a forward-
looking expected credit loss model. Where there has been a
significant increase in credit risk, a loss allowance for lifetime
expected credit losses is required.
Exposures are grouped by external credit rating and security
options and an expected credit loss rate is calculated accordingly.
Where applicable, actual credit loss experience is also taken into
account. For remaining receivables without an external credit
rating or security option, a rating of BB (Standard and Poor’s) is
used, on the basis that there is no support that it is investment
grade, nor is there any evidence of default.
For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash includes
deposits at call which are readily convertible to cash on hand and
which are used in the cash management function on a day to day
basis, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.
Derivative financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair
value; any attributable transaction costs are recognised in profit
and loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives
are measured at fair value.
Cashflow hedges
When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedging
instrument, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the
derivative is recognised in other comprehensive income and
accumulated in the hedging reserve. Any ineffective portion of
changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised
immediately in profit or loss.

However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award
and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is
granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a
modification of the original award.
It is management’s intention to settle each contract through
physical delivery of gold and as such, the gold forward sale
contracts entered into by the Company do not meet the criteria of
financial instruments for accounting purposes. This is referred to
as the “own use” exemption. Accordingly, the contracts will be
accounted for as sale contracts with revenue recognised once the
gold has been delivered to the counterparty.
4.11 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Provision for employee entitlements represents the amount which
the consolidated entity has a present obligation to pay resulting
from employees’ service provided up to the balance date.
Liabilities arising in respect of employee benefits expected to be
settled within twelve months of the balance date are measured at
their nominal amounts based on remuneration rates which are
expected to be paid when the liability is settled. All other
employee benefit liabilities are measured at the present value of
the estimated future cash outflow to be made in respect of
services provided by employees up to the balance date.
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution
superannuation funds are recognised as an expense in the
Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income as
incurred.
4.12 SHARE BASED PAYMENTS
The consolidated entity may provide benefits to employees
(including Directors) and other parties as necessary in the form
of share-based payments, whereby employees render services
in exchange for shares or rights over shares (“equity
settled transactions”).
The cost of these equity settled transactions with employees is
measured by reference to the fair value at the date they are
granted. The value is determined using a Monte Carlo model or
equivalent valuation technique. The cost of equity settled
transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding
increase in equity, over the period in which the performance
conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant
employees become fully entitled to the award (“vesting date”).
The cumulative expense recognised for equity settled transactions
at each reporting date until vesting date reflects the extent to
which the vesting period has expired and the number of awards
that, in the opinion of the Directors, will ultimately vest.
No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance
conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included
in the determination of fair value at grant date. No expense is
recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for
awards where vesting is conditional upon a market condition.
Where an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had
vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet
recognised for the award is recognised immediately.
4.13 FOREIGN CURRENCY
Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign
exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the
statement of financial position date are translated to Australian
dollars at the foreign exchange rate ruling at that date. Foreign
exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in the
Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of
historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the
exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets
and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at
fair value are translated to Australian dollars at foreign exchange
rates ruling at the dates the fair value was determined.
The following significant exchange rates have been applied:

Financial statements of foreign operations
Each entity in the consolidated entity determines its functional
currency, being the currency of the primary economic environment
in which the entity operates, reflecting the underlying transactions,
events and conditions that are relevant to the entity. The functional
currency of the Australian entities is the Australian dollar and the
functional currency of the Philippine entities is the Philippine Peso.
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill
and fair value adjustments arising on consolidation, are translated
from the entity’s functional currency to the consolidated entity’s
presentation currency of Australian dollars at foreign exchange
rates ruling at reporting date. The revenues and expenses of
foreign operations are translated to Australian dollars at the
exchange rates approximating the exchange rates ruling at the
date of the transactions. Foreign exchange differences arising
on translation are recognised directly in a separate component
of equity.
4.14 REHABILITATION COSTS
Full provision for rehabilitation costs is made based on the net
present value of the estimated cost of restoring the environmental
disturbance that has occurred up to the balance date. Increases
due to additional environmental disturbances are capitalised and
amortised over the remaining lives of the operations where they
have future economic benefit, otherwise they are expensed. These
increases are accounted for on a net present value basis.

4.14 REHABILITATION COSTS (cont.)
Annual increases in the provision relating to the change in the net
present value of the provision and inflationary increases are
accounted for in the Statement of Profit and Loss as an interest
expense. The estimated costs of rehabilitation are reviewed
annually and adjusted as appropriate for changes in legislation,
technology or other circumstances.
4.15 PROVISIONS
A provision is recognised in the Statement of Financial Position
when the consolidated entity has a present legal or constructive
obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an
outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected
future cash flows at the pre-tax rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and where appropriate,
the risk specific to the liability.
4.16 EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net operating
results after income tax attributable to members of the parent
entity, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary
shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares
outstanding during the financial year.
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the
determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the
after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs
associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the
weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued
for no consideration in relation to potential ordinary shares.
4.17 BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
The Group accounts for business combinations using the
acquisition method when control is transferred to the Group. The
consideration transferred in the acquisition is generally measured
at fair value, as are the identifiable net assets acquired. Any
goodwill that arises is tested annually for impairment. Any gain on
a bargain purchase is recognised in profit or loss immediately.
Transaction costs are expensed as incurred, except if related to
the issue of debt or equity securities.
The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to
the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are
generally recognised in profit or loss.
Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the date
of acquisition. If an obligation to pay contingent consideration that
meets the definition of a financial instrument is classified as
equity, then it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for
within equity. Otherwise, other contingent consideration is
remeasured at fair value at each reporting date and subsequent
changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are
recognised in profit or loss.
The Group recognises revenue when control has passed to the
buyer; the Company has no significant continuing involvement;
and the amount of revenue and costs incurred or costs to be
incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
The Group’s assessment is that this occurs when the sales
contract has been entered into and the customer has physical
possession of the gold as this is the point at which the customer
obtains the ability to direct the use and obtains substantially all of
the remaining benefits of ownership of the asset.
The transaction price is determined based on the agreed upon
price and the number of ounces delivered. Payment is due upon
delivery into the sales contract.
As part of the risk management policy, the Group enters into gold
forward contracts to manage the gold price of a proportion of
anticipated gold sales. The counterparty to the gold forward
contracts is BNP Paribas, Australia Branch, the Hongkong and
Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, Sydney Branch and
Macquarie Bank Limited (“MBL”) (the counterparties). It is
management’s intention to settle each contract through physical
delivery of gold and as such, the gold forward sale contracts
disclosed below do not meet the criteria of financial instruments
for accounting purposes. This is referred to as the “own use”
exemption. Accordingly, the contracts will be accounted for as
sale contracts with revenue recognised once the gold has been
delivered to the counterparties.
4.19 LEASES
At the inception of a contract the Group assesses whether the
contract is or contains a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if
it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a
period of time in exchange for consideration.
The Group recognises it as a right-of-use asset and a
corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease
arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term
leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less)
and leases of low value assets. For these leases, the Group
recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a
straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless another
systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in
which economic benefits from the leased assets are consumed.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the
lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date,
discounted by using the rate implicit in the lease. If this rate
cannot be readily determined, the Group uses its incremental
borrowing rate.
2022 ANNUAL REPORT
55
Notes to the CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2022 (cont.)
Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter period of
lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. If a lease
transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the
right-of-use asset reflects that the Group expects to exercise a
purchase option, the related right-of-use asset is depreciated over
the useful life of the underlying asset. The depreciation starts at
the commencement date of the lease.
The Group applies AASB 136 to determine whether a right-of-use
asset is impaired and accounts for any identified impairment loss
as described in the ‘Property, Plant and Equipment’ policy (as
outlined in the financial report for the annual reporting period).
Variable rents that do not depend on an index or rate are not
included in the measurement the lease liability and the right-of-
use asset. The related payments are recognised as an expense in
the period in which the event or condition that triggers those
payments occurs and are included in profit or loss.
As a practical expedient, AASB 16 permits a lessee not to
separate non-lease components, and instead account for any
lease and associated non-lease components as a single
arrangement. The Group has not used this practical expedient.
For a contract that contains a lease component and one or more
additional lease or non-lease components, the Group allocates
the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the
basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and
the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components.
4.20 DISCONTINUED OPERATION
A discontinued operation is a component of the Group’s business,
the operations and cash flows of which can be clearly
distinguished from the rest of the Group and which:
\ represents a separate major line of business or geographic
area of operations;
\ is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate
major line of business or geographic area of operations; or
\ is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.
Classification as a discontinued operation occurs at the earlier of
disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified
as held-for-sale.
When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the
comparative statement of profit or loss and Other Comprehensive
Income is re-presented as if the operation had been discontinued
from the start of the comparative year.
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES (cont.)
4.19 LEASES (cont.)
Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on
a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present
value of the following lease payments:
\ fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less
any lease incentives receivable;
\ variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate;
\ amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual
value guarantees;
\ the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is
reasonably certain to exercise that option; and
\ payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease
term reflects the lessee exercising that option.
The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the
carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using the
effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to
reflect the lease payments made.
The Group remeasures the lease liability (and makes a
corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use asset)
whenever:
\ The lease term has changed or there is a significant event or
change in circumstances resulting in a change in the
assessment of exercise of a purchase option, in which case
the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised
lease payments using a revised discount rate;
\ The lease payments change due to changes in an index or rate
or a change in expected payment under a guaranteed residual
value, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by
discounting the revised lease payments using an unchanged
discount rate (unless the lease payments change is due to a
change in a floating interest rate, in which case a revised
discount rate is used);
\ A lease contract is modified and the lease modification is not
accounted for as a separate lease, in which case the lease
liability is remeasured based on the lease term of the modified
lease by discounting the revised lease payments using a
revised discount rate at the effective date of the modification.
The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the
corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at or before
the commencement day, less any lease incentives received and
any initial direct costs. They are subsequently measured at cost
less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Whenever the Group incurs an obligation for costs to dismantle
and remove a leased asset, restore the site on which it is located
or restore the underlying asset to the condition required by the
terms and conditions of the lease, a provision is recognised and
measured under AASB 137. To the extent that the costs relate to a
right-of-use asset, the costs are included in the related right-of-
use asset, unless those costs are incurred to produce inventories.

4.21 ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
Non-current assets, or disposal groups comprising assets and
liabilities, are classified as held-for-sale if it is highly probable that
they will be recovered primarily through sale rather than through
continuing use.
Such assets, or disposal groups, are generally measured at the
lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Any
impairment loss on a disposal group is allocated first to goodwill,
and then to the remaining assets and liabilities on a pro rata basis,
except that no loss is allocated to inventories, financial assets or
deferred tax assets which continue to be measured in accordance
with the Group’s other accounting policies. Impairment losses on
initial classification as held-for-sale or held-for-distribution and
subsequent gains and losses on remeasurement are recognised
in profit or loss.
Once classified as held-for-sale, intangible assets and property,
plant and equipment are no longer amortised or depreciated, and
any equity-accounted investee is no longer equity accounted.
4.22 ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND
JUDGEMENTS
The selection and disclosure of the consolidated entity’s critical
accounting policies and estimates and the application of these
policies, estimates and judgements is the responsibility of the
Board of Directors. The estimates and judgements that may have
a significant impact on the carrying amount of assets and
liabilities are discussed below.
Impairment of Assets
At each reporting date, the Group makes an assessment for
impairment of all assets if there has been an impairment indicator
by evaluating conditions specific to the Group and to the
particular assets that may lead to impairment. The recoverable
amount of Property, Plant & Equipment and Mine Development
Expenditure is determined as the higher of value-in-use and fair
value less costs of disposal. Value-in-use is generally determined
as the present value of the estimated future cash flows. Present
values are determined using a risk adjusted discount rate
appropriate to the risks inherent in the asset.
Given the nature of the Group’s mining activities, future changes in
assumptions upon which these estimates are based may give rise
to a material adjustment to the carrying value. This could lead to
the recognition of impairment losses in the future. The inter-
relationship of the significant assumptions upon which estimated
future cash flows are based is such that it is impracticable to
disclose the extent of the possible effects of a change in a key
assumption in isolation.
Future cash flow estimates are based on expected production
volumes and grades, gold price and exchange rate estimates,
budgeted and forecasted development levels and operating costs.
Management is required to make these estimates and
assumptions which are subject to risk and uncertainty. As a result,
there is a possibility that changes in circumstances may alter
these projections, which could impact on the recoverable amount
of the assets. In such circumstances, some or all of the carrying
value of the assets may be impaired. Impairment losses are
recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss unless the asset has
previously been revalued.
Rehabilitation and mine closure provisions
As set out in note 4.14, this provision represents the discounted
value of the present obligation to restore, dismantle and
rehabilitate certain items of property, plant and equipment. The
discounted value reflects a combination of the Group’s
assessment of the costs of performing the work required, the
timing of the cash flows and the discount rate.
A change in any, or a combination, of the three key assumptions
used to determine the provisions could have a material impact to
the carrying value of the provision. In the case of provisions for
assets which remain in use, adjustments to the carrying value of
the provision are offset by a change in the carrying value of the
related asset. Where the provisions are for assets no longer in use
or for obligations arising from the production process, the
adjustment is reflected directly in the Statement of Profit or Loss.
Reserves and resources
The Group determines and reports ore reserves under the
Australian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral
Resources and Ore Reserves Code (“JORC”) as revised
December 2012 JORC for underground reserves and the JORC
2012 edition for open pit reserves. The JORC code requires the
use of reasonable investment assumptions to calculate reserves.
Reserves determined in this way are taken into account in the
calculation of depreciation of mining plant and equipment (refer to
4.3), amortisation of capitalised development expenditure (refer to
note 4.7), and impairment relating to these assets.
Changes in reported reserves may affect the Group’s financial
results and financial position in a number of ways, including:
\ Asset carrying values may be impacted due to changes in
estimated cash flows
\ Depreciation and amortisation charged in the statement of
profit or loss and other comprehensive income may change
where such charges are calculated using the units of
production basis
\ Deferred waste amortisation, based on estimates of reserve to
waste ratios
\ Decommissioning, site restoration and environmental
provisions may change where changes in estimated reserves
alter expectations about the timing or cost of these activities.
Going concern
A key assumption underlying the preparation of the financial
statements is that the Group will continue as a going concern. An
entity is a going concern when it is considered to be able to pay
its debts as and when they are due, and to continue in operation
without any intention or necessity to liquidate or otherwise wind
up its operations.

POLICIES (cont.)
4.22 ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND
JUDGEMENTS (cont.)
Share based payment transactions
The Group measures the cost of equity settled transactions with
employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments
at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined
by using Monte Carlo modelling. This estimate also requires
determination of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation
model including the expected life of the equity instrument,
volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them.
The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value for
share-based payment transactions are disclosed note 31.
Production start date
The Group assesses the stage of each mine under development/
construction to determine when a mine moves into the production
phase, this being when the mine is substantially complete and
ready for its intended use. The criteria used to assess the start
date are determined based on the unique nature of each mine
development/construction project, such as the complexity of the
project and its location. The Group considers various relevant
criteria to assess when the production phase is considered to
have commenced.
Some of the criteria used to identify the production start date
include, but are not limited to:
\ Level of capital expenditure incurred compared with the
original construction cost estimate;
\ Completion of a reasonable period of testing of the mine plant
and equipment;
\ Ability to produce metal in saleable form (within
specifications); and
\ Ability to sustain ongoing production of metal.
When a mine development project moves into the production
phase, the capitalisation of certain mine development costs
ceases and costs are either regarded as forming part of the
cost of inventory or expensed, except for costs that qualify for
capitalisation relating to mining asset additions or improvements,
underground mine development or mineable reserve
development. It is also at this point that depreciation/amortisation
commences.
Capitalised exploration and evaluation assets
The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation
expenditure is dependent on a number of factors, including
whether the Group decides to exploit the related lease itself or, if
not, whether it successfully recovers the related exploration and
evaluation asset through sale.
Factors which could impact the future recoverability include the
level of proved, probable and inferred mineral resources, future
technological changes which could impact the cost of mining,
future legal changes (including changes to environmental
restoration obligations) and changes to commodity prices.
To the extent that capitalised exploration and evaluation
expenditure is determined not to be recoverable in the future,
this will reduce profits and net assets in the period in which this
determination is made. In addition, exploration and evaluation
expenditure is capitalised if activities in the area of interest have
not yet reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment
of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable
reserves. To the extent that it is determined in the future that this
capitalised expenditure should be written off, this will reduce
profits and net assets in the period in which this determination
is made.
4.23 NEW AND REVISED STANDARDS
AND INTERPRETATIONS
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been
published that are not effective for the 30 June 2022 reporting
period. Except for the amendment to AASB 16 Property, Plant and
Equipment, the Group has not elected to early adopt any other
new standards. The other new standards do not have a material
effect on the Group’s financial statements.
Amendment to AASB 116 Property, Plant and
Equipment
The Group has elected to early adopt the amendment in AASB 116
Property, Plant and Equipment, effective for annual periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2022.
The amendment to AASB 116 prohibits an entity from deducting
from the cost of an item of property, plant or equipment any
proceeds received from selling items produced while the entity is
preparing the asset for its intended use.
The effect of adopting the amendment in AASB 116 is to recognise
in profit or loss the proceeds from sales of gold ore produced by
the Group’s King of the Hills operation while it is still in pre-
production phase. Prior to the amendment pre-production
sales proceeds were recognised as a credit against the cost of
the asset.

(a) Rehabilitation provision
Mining activities within the Group are required by law to undertake rehabilitation as part of their ongoing operations. The rehabilitation
provision represents the present value of rehabilitation costs, which are expected to be incurred when the rehabilitation work following the
cessation of operations is expected to be completed. This provision has been created based on the Group’s internal estimates which are
reviewed over time as the operation develops. The accretion of the effect of discounting on the provision is recognised as a financial
expense. In addition, the rehabilitation obligation has been recognised as an intangible asset and has been amortised over the life of the
mines on units of production basis.
(b) Other provisions:
Includes provision for MRF Levy and insurance payable at 30 June 2022.

17 LEASE LIABILITIES
Lease liabilities include electricity and gas power plants, vehicles and equipment. They have increased as a result of the construction
and development of the King of the Hills. Lease liabilities expire between August 2022 and March 2032 and bear interest at rates
between 2.3% and 8.4%. Ownership of the vehicles and equipment will revert to the Company at the end of the leases at no additional
cost. The Company’s obligations under the leases are secured by the lessor’s title to the leased assets. The fair value of the lease
liabilities approximates their carrying values.
The following schedule outlines the total minimum loan payments due for the lease obligations over their remaining term:

(a) The foreign currency translation reserve comprises foreign exchange differences arising from the translation of the financial statements of
foreign operations where the functional currency is different to the presentation currency of the reporting entity. This balance has been
mostly released to the income statement on the sale of the main Philippine operation, Greenstone Resources Corporation (GRC) in the
current year.
(b) This reserve is for the revaluation movements of the defined retirement benefit fund for Philippines employees. It has been released on the
sale of GRC during the current year.
(c) The share-based payment reserve includes performance rights, service and deferred rights reserve. It arises on the granting and vesting of
equity instruments. Refer note 31 for further details.
(d) The hedging reserve comprises the effective portion of the cumulative net change in the fair value of hedging instruments (net of tax) used
in cash flow hedges pending subsequent recognition in profit or loss. At year-end there were no open hedges (refer note 19).

22 EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share (“EPS”) is the amount of post-tax profit or loss attributable to each share. The Group presents basic and diluted EPS
data for ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by
the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted EPS takes into account the dilutive effect of all potential ordinary shares, being unlisted employee performance and service
rights on issue.

23 DISCONTINUED OPERATION
Sale of Siana Gold Mine (Philippines)
During FY21, the Group had been in negotiations with interested parties to divest its interests in Philippine-affiliated company
Greenstone Resources Corporation (GRC), which holds both the Siana Gold Project (Siana) and the Mapawa Gold Project.
The divestment of its interests in Siana is consistent with Red 5’s strategy to focus on its King of the Hills and Darlot gold mines in
Western Australia, with the aim of becoming a substantial mid-tier Australian gold producer.
In July 2021, a binding agreement with TVI Resource Development (Phils.) Inc. (TVIRD) was entered into for the sale of GRC. TVIRD
is the Philippine affiliate of the Canadian-listed TVI Pacific Inc. The divestment included the process plant and all other infrastructure
at Siana.
Upon completion of all closing conditions of the agreement, which included certain Philippine regulatory approvals which were satisfied
during the September 2021 quarter, the Group received gross proceeds of US$19 million (approximately A$25.3 million) through the
repayment of outstanding shareholder advances due from its Philippine-affiliated company, Red 5 Asia Inc, which was a shareholder
of GRC.
In addition, a royalty of 3.25% payable for up to 619,000 ounces of gold will be payable to the Group from first gold from the restart of
the Siana processing plant, which is expected in the first half of 2023.

(i) The gain on sale of discontinued operation is mainly derived from the release of the foreign currency translation reserve associated with
the disposal of the discontinued operation’s net assets. There were no tax consequences on the sale consideration due to available tax
losses in the Philippines.
(ii) Due to uncertainty of receipt of the 3.25% royalties on the ounces of gold to be produced by GRC in the future, an impairment loss to
the write down of the assets and liabilities of the discontinued operation to the lower of its carrying amount and fair value was incurred
and accounted for in the June 2021 annual report.

Hills operations.
Unless otherwise stated, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors as the chief decision maker with respect to operating segments
are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent with those adopted in the consolidated annual financial

32 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
OVERVIEW
This note presents information about the consolidated entity’s exposure to credit, liquidity and market risks, their objectives, policies
and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital.
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. Management
monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the consolidated entity through regular reviews of the risks.
CREDIT RISK
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the consolidated entity if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its
contractual obligations and arises principally from the consolidated entity receivables from customers and investment securities. For
the Company it arises from receivables due from subsidiaries.
Presently, the consolidated entity undertakes exploration, mining and gold production activities.
The Group sells gold to two customers in Australia and has managed its exposure to credit risk by analysing the creditworthiness
of the customer.

32 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (cont.)
Cash and cash equivalents
The consolidated entity limits its exposure to credit risk by only investing in liquid securities and only with counterparties that have an
acceptable credit rating. Any excess cash and cash equivalents are maintained in short term deposits with more than one major
Australian commercial bank at interest rates maturing over 30 to 120 day rolling periods.
Trade and other receivables
The Group’s trade and other receivables relate mainly to gold sales and sales tax refunds. The Group has determined that its exposure
to trade receivable credit risk is low, given that it sells gold bullion to a single reputable refiner with short contractual payment terms and
sales tax refunds are due from Government tax bodies namely the Australian Tax Office and the Philippines Bureau of Internal Revenue.
Exposure to credit risk
The carrying amount of the consolidated entity’s financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to
credit risk at the reporting date was:
Cash and cash equivalents
Trade and other receivables

Liquidity risk is the risk that the consolidated entity will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The consolidated
entity approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when
due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the consolidated entity.
The consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves from funds raised in the market and by
continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows.
The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments and excluding the impact of
netting agreements:

32 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (cont.)
MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices will affect the
consolidated entity income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. Changes in the market gold price will affect the
derivative valuation at each reporting date. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures
within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.
Hedge accounting
The Group’s risk management policy is to hedge gold sales in local currency as and when appropriate, subject to the terms of the
Syndicated Facility Agreement.
At 30 June 2022 there were commitments over future sales of gold from the King of the Hills operation (refer to note 26). These are
accounted for using the “own use” exemption and are not regarded as financial instruments.
Gold price sensitivity
Derivative financial instruments valued using valuations models with inputs such as forward gold prices, are sensitive to gold price
fluctuations. Currently there are no derivative financial instruments because the Group accounts for gold hedges using the “own use”
exemption (2021: nil).
An increase of 10% or decrease of 10% in the average gold price for the year would have increased/(decreased) equity and profit or
loss by the amounts shown below:

The consolidated entity is exposed to currency risk on investments and purchases that are denominated in a currency other than the
respective functional currencies of the subsidiaries within the consolidated entity being Australian Dollar (A$) and Philippine Pesos. The
currencies in which these transactions primarily are denominated are United States dollars (US$).
The consolidated entity has not entered into any derivative financial instruments to hedge such transactions. The Company’s
investments in its subsidiaries are not hedged as those currency positions are considered to be long term in nature.
INTEREST RATE RISK
The consolidated entity is exposed to interest rate risk, primarily on its borrowings and on its cash and cash equivalents. This is the risk
that a financial instrument’s value will fluctuate as a result of changes in the market interest rates on interest-bearing financial
instruments. The consolidated entity does not currently use derivatives to mitigate these exposures.
For cash and cash equivalents, the consolidated entity adopts a policy of ensuring that any excess cash is utilised to pay down long
term debt under the terms of the Syndicated Facility Agreement.
At the reporting date the interest rate profile of the consolidated entity’s interest-bearing financial instruments was:
Cash and cash equivalents
Restricted cash
Security deposits
Borrowings

NET FAIR VALUES
The carrying value of financial assets and liabilities equates to their fair value.
CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The consolidated entity’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so as to maintain a
strong capital base sufficient to maintain future exploration and development of its projects. In order to maintain or adjust the capital
structure, the consolidated entity may return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
Risk management is facilitated by regular monitoring by and reporting to the Board and key management personnel.
Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries are subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
33 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities carried at amortised cost approximate their carrying value.
The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique.
Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest - level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or
indirectly observable
Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest - level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable
The following financial assets and liabilities are classified as level 2:
\ Financial liabilities - borrowings of $172.270 million (30 June 2021: $nil)
\ Derivative Financial Instruments, liability of $nil (30 June 2021: $nil)
34 DEED OF CROSS GUARANTEE
Pursuant to ASIC Corporations (Wholly owned Companies) Instrument 2016/785 the wholly owned subsidiaries listed below are relieved
from the Corporations Act 2001 requirements for preparation, audit and lodgement of financial reports, and Directors’ Reports.
It is a condition of the Instrument that the Company and each of the subsidiaries enter into a Deed of Cross Guarantee. The effect of the
Deed is that the Company guarantees to each creditor payment in full of any debt in the event of winding up of any of the subsidiaries
under certain provisions of the Corporations Act 2001. If a winding up occurs under other provisions of the Act, the Company will only
be liable in the event that after six months any creditor has not been paid in full. The subsidiaries have also given similar guarantees in
the event that the Company is wound up.
The subsidiaries subject to the Deed are:
\ Opus Resources Pty Ltd
\ Darlot Mining Company Pty Ltd
\ Greenstone Resources (WA) Pty Ltd
Opus Resources Pty Ltd and Darlot Mining Company Pty Ltd both became party to the Deed of Cross Guarantee on 30 June 2018.

Key Audit Matters The Key Audit Matters we identified are: • Sales revenue; • Property, plant and equipment and mine properties; and • Going concern basis of accounting. 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. Sales revenue ($164.962 million) Refer to Note 5(a) to the Financial Report The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit Existence and accuracy of sales revenue is a key audit matter due to its significance to the consolidated financial statements combined with the incremental audit effort assessing the application of relevant accounting standards. Gold sales revenue from the Group’s Darlot and King of the Hills (KOTH) operations was the most significant item in the consolidated statement of profit or loss ($164.962 million). We focused on the following judgements the Group applied in determining sales revenue: • Assessing the revenue recognised against the requirements of AASB 15 Revenue form Contracts with Customers; • Judgements made by the Group in the early adoption to forthcoming requirements to AASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment. Proceeds from sales made from the KOTH operation while in pre-production phase have been recorded in the income statement with a corresponding allocation made to costs of goods sold; and • The application of the “own-use” exemption for gold forward contracts. Our procedures included: • We considered the Group’s accounting policies for the recognition of sales revenue against the requirements of the accounting standards; • For gold sales recognised during the year we obtained the sales invoice and compared the quantity sold against third party statements from the refinery and cash received in the bank; • For a sample of sales recorded close to year end, we tested against the recognition criteria of AASB 15 checking control had passed to the customer to the date of the third party statements; • We evaluated the methodology for allocating costs to inventory for sales made in the KOTH pre-production phase. We tested, on a sample basis, costs allocated against these sales; and • For gold forward contracts where “own-use” exemption was applied, we checked the gold forward contracts, compared to the Group’s gold production forecasts and inquired with finance and operational personnel as to the intention to deliver physical gold in those contracts in accordance with the requirements of the accounting standards to apply the own-use exemption. Independent AUDITOR’S REPORT (cont.)

2022 ANNUAL REPORT
Property, plant and equipment ($303.4m) and mine properties ($131.4m) Refer to Notes 10 and 11 to the Financial Report The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit Existence, accuracy and valuation of expenditure capitalised as an asset as part of the Group’s mining operations was considered to be a key audit matter. Additions to Property, Plant and Equipment ($198.5 million) and Mine Development ($82.7 million) primarily related to construction of the King of the Hills (KOTH) project. Of the additions to Property, Plant and Equipment $99.5 million relates to right of use assets, which is largely leases embedded in supply contracts relating to the establishment of the KOTH mining operations. Property, Plant and Equipment and Mine Development represents 75% of total assets of the Group. The Group used judgement in the identification and allocation of cost between operating and capital expenditure. The risks we focused on include: • the existence of expenditure capitalised; • the methodology used to allocate costs between operating expenditure (including inventory stockpiles), capital expenditure and exploration & evaluation assets; • the relative magnitude of lease liabilities right-of-use assets added during the year pursuant to AASB 16 “Leases”. A focus for us was the completeness of leases to be recognised and the accuracy of multiple inputs which may drive different accounting outcomes, including key terms of the lease agreements, such as commencement dates, fixed and variable payments, renewal and termination options; and • the assessment of the existence of impairment or reversal indicators of the non-financial assets contained within Group’s CGUs. Our procedures included: • Test of controls and inputs relating to the authorisation and accuracy of the recording, classification and payment of expenditure; • Assessment of the allocation of costs between operating expenditure (including inventory stockpiles), capital expenditure and exploration & evaluation assets by inspecting documentation on a sample basis and assessing the nature of the underlying activity; • Selecting a sample of supplier and contractor invoices raised during the year. We checked the timing and nature of recorded expenditure against the details of the service description on the invoice or contract; • We compared the key inputs adopted by the Group in its AASB 16 lease calculations against underlying source documents including signed agreements and lessor’s invoices; • We assessed the completeness of leases recognition by understanding the Group’s process to identify leases within contracts, and by inspecting a sample of non-lease agreements for the existence of potential embedded leases; and • Challenging the Group’s assertion as to the presence of no impairment or reversal indicators. This included assessing the composition of the KOTH mining hub CGU. Independent AUDITOR’S REPORT (cont.)

Going concern basis of accounting Refer to Note 2.2 to the Financial Report The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit The Group’s use of the going concern basis of accounting is a key audit matter due to the level of judgement required by us in evaluating the Group’s assessment of going concern. These are outlined in Note 2.2. The Directors have determined that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate in preparing the financial report. Their assessment of going concern was based on cash flow projections. The preparation of these projections incorporated a number of assumptions and significant judgements. We critically assessed the judgements focusing on the following: • the Group’s significant cash inflow assumptions particularly forecast production volumes, impact of future commodity prices and foreign exchange rates to cash inflows projected; • the Group’s planned levels of operational and capital expenditures, and the ability of the Group to manage cash outflows within available funding; • the Group’s ability to meet financing commitments and covenants. This included nature of planned activities to achieve this and status/progress of those plans; and • the Group’s ability to source suitable funding solutions. In assessing this key audit matter, we involved senior audit team members who understand the Group’s business, industry and the economic environment it operates in. Our procedures included: • We analysed the cash flow projections by: • Evaluating the underlying data used to generate the projections. We specifically looked for consistency of information used with the Group’s intentions, as outlined in Directors minutes and the KOTH feasibility study; • Analysing the impact of reasonably possible changes in projected cash flows and their timing, to the projected periodic cash positions. Assessing the resultant impact to the ability of the Group to pay debts as and when they fall due and continue as a going concern including ability to meet financing commitments and covenants. The specific areas we focused on was gold production sensitivities given the ramp up of production at KOTH; • Assessing the Group’s significant cash inflow assumptions and judgements for feasibility and timing. We used our knowledge of the client, its industry, published views of market trends and conditions to assess the level of associated uncertainty; and • Assessing the planned levels of operating and capital expenditures for consistency of relationships and trends to the Group’s actual results, results since year end, and our understanding of the busines and industry including KOTH’s feasibility study. • We read correspondence to assess the timing and magnitude of suitable funding options. • We evaluated the Group’s going concern disclosures in the financial report by comparing them to our understanding of the matter, the events or conditions incorporated into the cash flow projection assessment, the Group’s funding plans or conditions and accounting standard requirements.

In connection with our audit of the Financial Report, our responsibility is to read the Other Information.

We are required to report if we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this Other Information, and based on the work we have performed on the Other Information that we obtained prior to the date of this Auditor’s Report we have nothing to report. Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report The Directors are responsible for: • preparing the Financial Report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001; • implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of a Financial Report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and • assessing the Group and Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and whether the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate.

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the Financial Report.
