Dear Shareholders
Annual Report for FY 2021
During the financial year ended 30 June 2021 the Company made investigations into the viability of
producing pig iron by smelting magnetite from the Burracoppin magnetite deposit using locally
grown biomass to supply the carbon instead of coal which delivered positive results. Gold
exploration also had success with positive signals recovered from soil sampling.
The Company had deferred work at its lithium projects pending development of lithium brine
processing techniques without the use of evaporation ponds.
Recent developments in Nevada and elsewhere, indicate that commercial development of
processing technologies that eliminate evaporation ponds and dramatically reduce water
consumption is now likely.
Because of these developments the Company has moved quickly to expand its lithium-brine
exploration in Nevada. Additional claims have been staked to expand one of our lithium project
areas in Nevada and geophysical survey on the new ground is underway.
On 7th September 2021 Reedy Lagoon raised $1.1M through a placement of 70,000,000 shares.
Thank you for your continued support.
Yours sincerely,
Jonathan Hamer
Chairman

Overview
Reedy Lagoon has exploration projects for
lithium, gold and magnetite.
Reedy Lagoon conducted soil sampling for
gold at Burracoppin, investigated achieving
net zero carbon emissions from producing
pig iron by using locally grown biomass
and Burracoppin magnetite and is currently
conducting geophysical survey on its
additional claims at Alkali Lake North
lithium-brine project.
The Company until recently had deferred
work at its lithium projects pending
development of lithium brine processing
techniques without the use of evaporation
ponds.
As a consequence of recent developments associated with lithium the Company moved quickly to
expand its lithium-brine exploration in Nevada while continuing its gold exploration and building its pig
iron project in Australia.
Corporate.
Reedy Lagoon issued 67,462,074 shares at an issue price of $0.01 per share under a pro rata non-
renounceable rights offer to shareholders raising $674,620 on 28 August 2020;
292,382 shares in consideration of payment of the $0.08 exercise price per share on options raising
$23,391 on 12 April 2021; and
70,000,000 shares at an issue price of $0.016 per share under a placement raising $1,120,000 on 7
September 2021.
On 9 February 2021 Reedy Lagoon entered into an agreement with Dinsdale Consultants Pty Ltd and
Smelt Tech Consulting Pty Ltd to pursue a commercial objective of establishing “green iron”
production in Western Australia using HIsmelt Technology to smelt magnetite from the Burracoppin
deposit using biochar as the reductant instead of coal.
On 12 February 2021 Reedy Lagoon engaged H & S Consultants Pty Ltd (“H&SC”) to assist in
planning how best to establish if there is a Mineral Resource at RLC’s Burracoppin Magnetite deposit
located near Merredin in Western Australia.
On 26 May Reedy Lagoon engaged with CSIRO through CSIRO Kick-Start, to develop a method of
determining magnetite resources using magnetic modelling.

The Nevada lithium brine projects comprise: Alkali
Lake North and Clayton Valley. The projects are
located
large and separate ground water
catchment areas in Nevada, USA. The projects are
within 25 kilometres of the Silver Peak Lithium Brine
Operation owned by Albemarle Corp. which is located
360 kilometres by road (US-95 route) from the Tesla
Gigafactory (Lithium-ion batteries) in Reno.
The lithium projects are targeting dissolved lithium in
salty ground water (“brine”).
Importantly, direct extraction of lithium enables the residual brine to be returned to the environment after
harvesting its lithium rather than lost to evaporation as is the case with evaporation ponds. Reduced
water consumption has potential to facilitate regulatory approvals to pump and process ground water
in the event that “consumptive use” is used as the measure of the water allocation as opposed to the
gross water extracted.
Two project areas are held, Clayton Valley and Alkali Lake North, and comprise a combined area of
3,502 hectares (8,655 acres) under 446 placer claims following claim staking activity in September
2021. All the placer claims are 100% owned and there are no royalty arrangements.

Clayton Valley Project
LITHIUM in BRINE
Nevada, USA
RLC 100%
The Clayton Valley lithium-brine project is located within 10 kilometres northwest of the Silver Peak
Lithium Operation (owned by Albemarle Corporation) where the southern end of Big Smoky Valley
meets the western side of Clayton Valley.
The project area was acquired by claim staking following interpretation of the geology observed in
drilling on Reedy Lagoon's nearby previously held Big Smoky South project (refer ASX 24 May 2018).
A brine target potentially comprising a 200 metre thick interval of sediments containing multiple brine
filled aquifers has been identified in audio MagnetoTelluric (3D AMT) survey data (refer ASX release
23 August 2018). Importantly, we see similarities between the geology indicated in our 3D AMT
survey with the geology that has been determined and reported for the Silver Peak lithium brine
production area located a few kilometres to the southeast.
A Shallow Seismic Reflection (SSR) survey is under consideration to gain further information about
the depth to and number of aquifers indicated by the MagnetoTelluric survey data.
Alkali Lake North Project
LITHIUM in BRINE
Nevada, USA
RLC 100%
The Alkali Lake North lithium-brine project covers part of a discrete sub basin located 30 kilometres
northeast of Silver Peak and it occurs within an extensive 30 kilometres long, northwest trending
basin that drains to the south towards Alkali Lake. Satellite and gravity imagery suggest that a deep
basin is masked by recent alluvium. Several hot springs discharge alkaline salts onto the surface of
the playa lake located 10 kilometres to the southwest of the project area.
Brine targets potentially comprising multiple brine aquifers within sediments over vertical intervals of
100 metres have been identified (as conductors) in audio MagnetoTelluric survey data (refer ASX
release 28/08/2018). Earlier 2-dimensional audio MagnetoTelluric (2D AMT) survey has also been
conducted (refer ASX release 29/05/2017).
In early September 2021 the Company staked additional placer claims to cover a shallow brine layer
(conductor) identified at a depth of 200 metres (refer to the image below and ASX release 7/09/2021).
Additional 3D AMT survey was underway near the end of September 2021 (refer ASX release
21/09/2021). A Shallow Seismic Survey is also being planned in order to help determine depth to and
number of aquifers.

Burracoppin Gold
Reedy Lagoon is targeting gold mineralization at Burracoppin in the vicinity of its magnetite deposit
(part of the iron project) located 260 kilometres east of Perth in Western Australia. The project is 60
kilometres north of the Tampia gold mine and 30 kilometres southwest from the Edna May gold mine
(both owned by Ramelius Resources Limited).
Western Australia
The project covers areas around the Yandina Shear Zone. Most of the 30 kilometre strike length of the
Yandina Shear Zone within the project area has seen very little exploration.
First phase orientation soil sampling has identified gold targets. The next steps planned include
infill/follow-up sampling at identified targets, systematic soil sampling to recover geochemical data for
targeting gold-bearing mineralised systems for drill testing and additional exploratory traverses in
untested areas (refer ASX release 27 May 2021).

MINING, BIOMASSING and SMELTING
to produce
GREEN HIGH PURITY PIG IRON.
Reedy Lagoon is pursuing a plan to produce and sell Green High Purity Pig Iron ("Green HPPI") by:
Mining mineral magnetite from the Burracoppin deposit to produce iron concentrate
Growing or otherwise acquiring biomass for processing to produce biochar
Smelting the iron concentrate with the biochar using HIsmelt technology to produce Green HPPI
Selling Green HPPI to steel makers in Australia, North America, Europe, UK and Asia.
Operating scenarios for processing Burracoppin magnetite to produce Green High Purity Pig Iron using
HIsmelt technology and biochar from locally grown biomass were investigated in a study undertaken
for the Company by Dinsdale Consultants (refer to ASX release 19/03/2021). The scenarios consider
an initial 1 Mtpa rate of pig iron production which would require approximately 1.6 Mtpa Burracoppin
iron concentrate and extends research previously conducted which identified that the HIsmelt
technology could use biochar to smelt the coarse grained Burracoppin magnetite concentrate to
produce HPPI with zero net emissions of CO2 (refer to ASX release 20/08/2020).
Project economics are enhanced by using Burracoppin magnetite concentrate for feed to a HIsmelt
smelter to produce High Purity Pig Iron for sale into the steel making market. The alternative of selling
magnetite concentrate (an iron ore) into the iron ore market carries greater risk because of the
concentration of the iron ore market. The iron ore market is dominated by a single buyer, China, with
over 80% of the seaborne trade. This market dominance exposes the market to large price swings as
is evidenced by price movements over the last two years. In contrast, the market for solid pig iron is
more diverse being spread across USA (60%), EU (30%) and others (10%) creating greater price
stability (refer to ASX release 20/08/2020).
The steps required to achieve annual production of 1Mtpa Green High Purity Pig Iron include
establishing the following:
Mining - Burracoppin Magnetite
Biomassing for Carbon Cycling
Smelting - HIsmelt
Production - High Purity Pig Iron
Burracoppin Magnetite Deposit
Western Australia
RLC 100%
E70/4941 (58 km2)
The Burracoppin Magnetite deposit is evidenced in airborne magnetic data to be 3 kilometres long.
Metallurgical studies of core samples from 2 of 3 diamond holes drilled into the deposit indicate a high
grade iron concentrate with low levels of impurities can be produced at a relatively coarse grind size
(P80 -150 micron) (refer to ASX release 23/11/2012). Additional drilling is required to better understand
the extent of the mineralisation and define a Mineral Resource.

Reedy Lagoon Corporation Limited
Review of operations
30 June 2021
Work is currently progressing to establish sufficient magnetite within the deposit to support about 20
years of pig iron production at a rate of 1Mtpa. The planned resource definition work is focussed in the
region between the 3 drill holes where, as part of the work in establishing a Mineral Resource, an
Exploration Target has been determined (refer to ASX release 12/02/2021).
An Exploration Target of 100 to 120Mt at a Davis Tube Recovery (“DTR”) grade of 25-35% to give 25
to 40Mt of magnetite concentrate with a 67 to 71% iron grade and a 1-4% SiO2 grade with low alumina,
phosphorous and sulphur has been determined at the Burracoppin Magnetite deposit for the purpose
of planning drill-out to JORC compliant resource (refer to ASX release 12/02/2021).
It should be noted that the potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature,
and there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource; it is uncertain if further
exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.
CSIRO in research study of
Burracoppin magnetite deposit in WA.
A collaboration with CSIRO is investigating and trialling new ways to determine resource estimates that
can rely more on geophysics than information solely from drill holes. The work is utilising previously
drilled core to determine the physical properties (e.g., magnetisation and density) of the Burracoppin
magnetite deposit, and using those results to constrain a detailed 3-D magnetic/density model of the
mineralisation (refer to ASX release 26/05/2021).
8
Reedy Lagoon Corporation Limited
Review of operations
30 June 2021
If shown to be successful, the work with CSIRO may lead to a new method of estimating a resource to
JORC standards with far less drilling than is currently required, saving much expense and reducing
ground disturbance. The project was made possible through CSIRO Kick-Start, an initiative that
provides funding and support for innovative Australian start-ups and small businesses to access
CSIRO's research expertise and capabilities.
The magnetite deposit
is well
positioned with existing open access
infrastructure including, rail and port
facilities.
Biomassing – Carbon Capture
The Company is investigating the potential for establishing a biomass business to produce biochar to
replace all coal used in the Iron Project's planned pig iron production. Studies have identified the
potential for locally grown biomass to produce all the carbon required for the planned smelting of
Burracoppin magnetite into pig iron (refer to ASX release 19/03/2021).
Biomass includes grass, wood, crops and certain "waste" products otherwise destined for landfill.
Biomass has been used as a fuel but we intend harvesting the carbon it contains by processing it into
biochar. The biochar will then be used to replace coal as the source of carbon required to smelt
magnetite into pig iron. Our net operation will be smelting magnetite into metal which will release carbon
dioxide into the air and cropping biomass to extract carbon dioxide from the air.
The project will have greenhouse (including carbon dioxide) emissions additional to those from the
smelting operation, including from harvesting and processing biomass, mining and transport. These
additional emissions in total will be significantly less than those from the smelting operation and it is
anticipated that they could be mitigated by biomass/biochar production in excess of the smelter
requirements and / or by purchasing carbon credits.
Our Iron Project will encompass carbon capture through agriculture and carbon release through
industry: a cycle - what is taken out is put back in.
It is intended that the biomass business will enable the project to produce pig iron with net zero carbon
dioxide emissions together with an alternative crop for wheat farmers in the Western Australian
Wheatbelt.

Smelting – Green High Purity Pig Iron
HIsmelt technology + Magnetite + Biochar = Green High Purity Pig Iron.
In the event that Steps 1 (Mining), and 2 (Biomassing) are achieved then the following objectives and
scenarios would be pursued:
HIsmelt is a proven technology that was initially developed in Australia before being purchased by
Molong Petroleum Machinery Ltd and developed commercially in China. HIsmelt smelts iron ore into
High Purity Pig Iron ("HPPI") with lower environmental emissions than the conventional blast furnace
technology and can produce "green" pig iron via using sustainably produced biochar as the reductant
instead of coal (refer to ASX releases 09/02/2021 and 19/03/2021).
HIsmelt is an innovative smelting process capable of using the coarse Burracoppin concentrate as direct
feed thus significantly reducing process costs at the mine site and adverse emissions at the smelter
site (as neither sintering or pelletising of the concentrate is required). HIsmelt is also capable of using
other feedstocks including industrial products that would otherwise go to landfill.
The HIsmelt smelt process produces a net excess of electricity, which will be "green" electricity when
using biochar as the reductant instead of coal. This green electricity may be able to be counted as
mitigating carbon emissions. The excess electricity (estimated at 20MW during smelting operations)
could potentially be used to produce green hydrogen for use in a first step in the smelt reaction in order
to further reduce carbon emissions (refer to ASX release 19/03/2021).

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
Currently, the Company does not have a separate remuneration committee. Because of the size of the Board and the operations of the
Company, the Directors are of the view that there is no need for a separate remuneration committee.
The Board as a whole reviews the remuneration packages and policies applicable to the Chairman, Senior Executives and Non-Executive
Directors on an annual basis. Remuneration levels are set to attract or retain, as appropriate, qualified and experienced Directors and Senior
Executives. From time to time and as required, the Board will seek independent professional advice on the appropriateness of remuneration
packages.
The current nature and amount of remuneration payable to Chairman, Executives and Non-Executive Directors is not dependent upon the
satisfaction of a performance condition. Instead part of the remuneration takes the form of options which will have value if the Company’s

Reedy Lagoon Corporation Limited
Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2021
Note 1. General information
The financial statements cover Reedy Lagoon Corporation Limited as a consolidated entity consisting of Reedy Lagoon Corporation Limited
and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year. The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Reedy
Lagoon Corporation Limited's functional and presentation currency.
Reedy Lagoon Corporation Limited is a listed public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Its registered office
and principal place of business is:
Level 18, 530 Collins Street
Melbourne
Victoria 3000
A description of the nature of the consolidated entity's operations and its principal activities are included in the directors' report, which is not
part of the financial statements.
The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of directors, on 30 September 2021. The directors have the
power to amend and reissue the financial statements.
Note 2. Significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period,
unless otherwise stated.
New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting
Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
Going concern
For the year ended 30 June 2021 the consolidated entity made a loss of $584,531 (2020: loss of $383,743), had net assets of $195,987 (2020:
Net assets $81,763), and had operating cash outflows $558,153 (2020: $370,640). All project assets are valued in the accounts at $0 (refer to
Exploration, Evaluation and Development Expenditure below).
Subsequent to the report period, on 7 September 2021 the Company issued 70,000,000 shares raising $1,120,000. The net amount raised by
the issue is $1,052,800 after payment of a fee of 6% ($67,200) of the funds raised was paid to brokers.
At the date of this report the Group has sufficient funds to meet all commitments as and when they fall due for at least 12 months other than
discretionary expenditure (which can be deferred or discontinued).
The Directors have assessed the Company’s current financial position, in particular the funds on deposit (in excess of $1m at the date of this
report) and annual overheads which are budgeted at less than $500,000 and are of the view that the continued application of the going concern
basis of accounting is appropriate.
Comparatives
The comparative figures have been classified in certain circumstances to provide a more meaningful representation of the financial statements.
Basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations
issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities.
These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards
Board ('IASB').
Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, the revaluation of financial
assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, investment
properties, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its
judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entity's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or
complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 3.

Reedy Lagoon Corporation Limited
Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2021
Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Parent entity information
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the consolidated entity only. Supplementary
information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 21.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Reedy Lagoon Corporation Limited ('company'
or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2021 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Reedy Lagoon Corporation Limited and its
subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'consolidated entity'.
Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity controls an entity when the
consolidated entity is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns
through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the
consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the consolidated entity are eliminated.
Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies
of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the consolidated entity.
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of
control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share
of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent.
Where the consolidated entity loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non-controlling
interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The consolidated entity recognises the fair
value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss.
Operating segments
Operating segments are presented using the 'management approach', where the information presented is on the same basis as the internal
reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM'). The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating
segments and assessing their performance.
Foreign currency translation
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Reedy Lagoon Corporation Limited's functional and presentation
currency.
Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign
exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at financial year-end exchange rates of
monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.
Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at the reporting date. The
revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the average exchange rates, which approximate the
rates at the dates of the transactions, for the period. All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income
through the foreign currency reserve in equity.
The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of.
Exploration, Evaluation and Development Expenditure
Expenditure incurred on the acquisition of exploration properties and exploration, evaluation and development costs, including acquisition of
Nevada Lithium Pty Ltd are written off as incurred where the activities in the areas of interest have not yet reached a stage that permits
reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves. At the date of this report insufficient data has been
recovered to permit an assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves at any of the Company’s projects. The Company has
accordingly expensed all its expenditure relating to exploration during the report period. Once it is determined that the costs can be recouped
through sale or successful development and exploitation of the area of interest then the on-going costs are accumulated and carried forward for
each area of interest.
Amortisation is not charged on costs carried forward in respect of areas of interest in the development phase until production commences.
When production commences, carried forward exploration, evaluation and development costs are amortised over the life of the area according
to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves.
Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is
made. Each area of interest is also reviewed annually and accumulated costs written off to the extent that they will not be recoverable in the
future.
Restoration costs are provided for at the time of the activities that give rise to the need for restoration. If this occurs prior to commencement of
production, the costs are included in deferred exploration and development expenditure. If it occurs after commencement of production,
restoration costs are provided for and charged to the statement of financial performance as an expense.

Reedy Lagoon Corporation Limited
Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2021
Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Revenue recognition
The consolidated entity recognises revenue as follows:
Interest
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a
financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly
discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
Other revenue
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established, less allowance for doubtful receivables.
Income tax
The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for
each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the
adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when the assets are
recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for:
●
●
When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that
is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or
When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the timing of the
reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts
will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognised
are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered.
Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to
recover the asset.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax
liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity
or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously.
Current and non-current classification
Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.
An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the consolidated entity's
normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or
the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting
period. All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the consolidated entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily
for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the
settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments
with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant
risk of changes in value.
Trade and other receivables
Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses.

Reedy Lagoon Corporation Limited
Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2021
Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated entity prior to the end of the financial year and which
are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are
usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable
the consolidated entity will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount
recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into
account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current
pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be settled wholly within 12
months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
Other long-term employee benefits
The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the
present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the
projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods
of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on corporate bonds with terms to maturity and
currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
Share-based payments
Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees.
Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange for the rendering of
services. Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash for the exchange of services, where the amount of cash is determined by reference to
the share price.
The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using either the
Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the
share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the
term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do not determine whether the consolidated entity receives the services that entitle
the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions.
The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The
cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that
are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount
calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods.
The cost of cash-settled transactions is initially, and at each reporting date until vested, determined by applying either the Binomial or Black-
Scholes option pricing model, taking into consideration the terms and conditions on which the award was granted. The cumulative charge to
profit or loss until settlement of the liability is calculated as follows:
●
●
during the vesting period, the liability at each reporting date is the fair value of the award at that date multiplied by the expired portion
of the vesting period.
from the end of the vesting period until settlement of the award, the liability is the full fair value of the liability at the reporting date.
All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss. The ultimate cost of cash-settled transactions is the cash paid to settle the liability.
Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore any awards subject to market conditions are considered to
vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are satisfied.
If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. An additional expense
is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based compensation
benefit as at the date of modification.
26
Reedy Lagoon Corporation Limited
Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2021
Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the consolidated entity or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a
cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the consolidated entity or employee and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any
remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited.
If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense is recognised
immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award is treated as if they were a
modification.
Issued capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of Reedy Lagoon Corporation Limited, excluding any
costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year,
adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial year.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax
effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares
assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.
Goods and Services Tax ('GST')
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the tax
authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or
payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are
recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority.
New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been
early adopted by the consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2021. The consolidated entity has not yet assessed the
impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations.
Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent
liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various
factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting
judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk
of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are
discussed below.
Share-based payment transactions
Equity-settled share-based payments are measured at fair value of the equity instrument at the grant date. Fair value is measured by the use of
either a Binomial or Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The expected
life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions, and
behavioural considerations.
Recovery of deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if the consolidated entity considers it is probable that future
taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Management has determined not to recognise the deferred
tax asset, given that the group has experienced losses, on a historical basis.

30 June 2021
Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued)
Employee benefits provision
As discussed in note 2, the liability for employee benefits expected to be settled more than 12 months from the reporting date are recognised
and measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of all employees at the reporting date. In
determining the present value of the liability, estimates of attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation have been taken into
account.
Exploration expenditures
The consolidated entity expenses expenditures relating to exploration where the activities in the areas of interest have not yet reached a stage
that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves. At the date of this report insufficient data has been
recovered to permit an assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves at any of the Company’s projects. The Company has
accordingly expensed all its expenditure relating to exploration during the report period.
Provision for restoration
Significant estimates and assumptions are made in determining this provision as there are a number of factors that will affect the ultimate
liability. These factors include estimates of the extent and costs of rehabilitation activities, technological changes, regulatory changes, cost
increases/decreases and changes in discount rates. These uncertainties may result in future actual expenditure differing from the amounts
currently provided. The provision at balance date represents management’s best estimate of the present value of the future restoration costs
required.
Note 4. Operating segments
Identification of reportable operating segments
The Company is organised into one operating segments: mineral exploration. This operating segment is based on the internal reports that are
reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (who are identified as the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM')) in assessing performance
and in determining the allocation of resources.

The above potential tax benefit for tax losses has not been recognised in the statement of financial position. These tax losses can only be
utilised in the future if the continuity of ownership test is passed, or failing that, the same business test is passed.
The above potential tax benefit, which excludes tax losses, for deductible temporary differences has not been recognised in the statement of
financial position as the recovery of this benefit is uncertain.
The potential future income tax benefit will only be obtained if:
a) The Company derives future assessable income of a nature and amount sufficient to enable the benefit to be realised;
b) The Company continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by the law; and
c) No changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Company in realising the benefit.

Note 5. Income tax expense
Income Tax Rate
The tax rate used in the above reconciliation is the corporate tax rate of 25% payable by base rate entities for the 2022 and future income
years. The base rate entity tax rate applies where the aggregated turnover of the entity is less than $50 million and less than 80% of
assessable income is base rate entity passive income. The rate used is the one that is expected to apply when the deferred tax assets of the
entity are realised and the deferred tax liabilities of the entity are settled. The corporate tax rate has been reduced when compared with the
previous year, which used a rate of 27.5%.

Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on the winding up of the Company in proportion to the number of
and amounts paid on the shares held. The fully paid ordinary shares have no par value and the Company does not have a limited amount of
authorised capital.
On a show of hands every member present at a meeting in person or by proxy shall have one vote and upon a poll each share shall have one
vote.
Share buy-back
There is no current on-market share buy-back.
Capital risk management
RLC’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and exploit the mineral assets
under its control in order to provide future returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.
Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the statement of financial position, plus net debt. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings
less cash and cash equivalents.
The Company continuously reviews the capital structure to ensure:-
• sufficient funds are available to implement its exploration expenditure programs in accordance with forecasted needs; and
• sufficient funds for the other operational needs of the Company is maintained.
The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 30 June 2020 annual report.

Note 15. Financial instruments
Financial risk management objectives
The consolidated entity's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk, price risk and interest rate
risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The consolidated entity's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial
markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the consolidated entity. The consolidated entity uses
different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest
rate, foreign exchange and other price risks, ageing analysis for credit risk and beta analysis in respect of investment portfolios to determine
market risk.
Risk management is carried out by senior finance executives ('finance') under policies approved by the Board of Directors ('the Board'). These
policies include identification and analysis of the risk exposure of the consolidated entity and appropriate procedures, controls and risk limits.
Finance identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks within the consolidated entity's operating units. Finance reports to the Board on a
monthly basis.
Market risk
Foreign currency risk
The consolidated entity undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currency and is exposed to foreign currency risk through foreign
exchange rate fluctuations.
Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised financial assets and financial liabilities denominated in a
currency that is not the entity's functional currency.
Price risk
The consolidated entity is not exposed to any significant price risk.
Interest rate risk
The consolidated entity is not exposed to significant interest rate risk.
Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the consolidated entity. The
consolidated entity has a strict code of credit, including obtaining agency credit information, confirming references and setting appropriate credit
limits. The consolidated entity obtains guarantees where appropriate to mitigate credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the
reporting date to recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the
statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements. The consolidated entity does not hold any collateral.
The consolidated entity has adopted a lifetime expected loss allowance in estimating expected credit losses to trade receivables through the
use of a provisions matrix using fixed rates of credit loss provisioning. These provisions are considered representative across all customers of
the consolidated entity based on recent sales experience, historical collection rates and forward-looking information that is available.
The consolidated entity trade and other receivables consist of GST receivable and interest receivable. For this reason the consolidated entity
is not exposed to significant credit risk.
Generally, trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators of this include the failure of a debtor
to engage in a repayment plan, no active enforcement activity and a failure to make contractual payments for a period greater than 1 year.

Reedy Lagoon Corporation Limited
Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2021
Note 15. Financial instruments (continued)
Liquidity risk
Vigilant liquidity risk management requires the consolidated entity to maintain sufficient liquid assets (mainly cash and cash equivalents) to pay
debts as and when they become due and payable.
The consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and available borrowing facilities by continuously
monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
Remaining contractual maturities
The following tables detail the consolidated entity's remaining contractual maturity for its financial instrument liabilities. The tables have been
drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the financial liabilities are required to
be paid. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows disclosed as remaining contractual maturities and therefore these totals may
differ from their carrying amount in the statement of financial position.

Note 17. Remuneration of auditors (continued)
It is the company’s policy to engage the external auditor to provide services additional to their audit duties where the external auditor’s
experience and expertise with the Company’s are important and it is logical and efficient for them to provide those services. The provision of
non-audit services during the year by the external auditor is compatible with, and did not compromise, the auditor independence requirements
of the Corporations Act 2001
Note 18. Contingent liabilities
The Company is not aware of any contingent liabilities other than outstanding rehabilitation of a drill site used by the Company during drilling at
its Columbus Salt Marsh project (drill hole CBD-01 ). An amount of $10,000 has been allocated for this work which is expected to be
completed in the normal course of business.
Note 19. Exploration expenditure commitments
Projects located in North America
The consolidated entity held 240 Placer Claims at 30 June 2021 in connection with its Alkali Lake North and Clayton Valley Lithium Brine
projects located in Nevada, USA. Annual Land Fees are payable to the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) and Esmeralda County for these
claims with payment required prior to 1 September each year. The Annual Land Fees payable in respect of the 240 Placer Claims amounted to
US$42,800. At the date of this report all Land Fees in respect of the 240 Placer Claims held at 30 June 2021 were paid up to 31 August 2022.
Land Fees in respect of 206 Placer Claims staked during September 2021 were unpaid at the date of reporting as filing was in process and
Land Fees had not been determined nor paid at the report date. There is no minimum exploration expenditure requirement for Placer Claims
located in Nevada, USA.
Projects located in Australia
The consolidated entity held three tenements: E70/4941, E70/5467 and E70/5544, located in Western Australia at the date of this report.
Ongoing annual exploration expenditure is required to maintain title to the tenements. Tenement expenditure will be determined by the
Company and is dependent upon exploration results and available cash resources. The statutory expenditure requirement is subject to
negotiation with the relevant state department, and expenditure commitments may be reduced subject to reduction of exploration area and/or
relinquishment of non-prospective tenements. Unless the Minister determines otherwise, if the minimum annual expenditure on a tenement is
not satisfied the licence may be forfeited. The combined minimum annual expenditures for the Australian tenements is $83,000.
No provision has been made in the accounts for exploration commitments.

Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Members of Reedy Lagoon Corporation Limited
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Reedy Lagoon Corporation Limited and its
controlled entities (the “Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at
30 June 2021, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the
consolidated statement of cash flows and the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the
financial year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and
other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the company as set out on page 36.
In our opinion, the financial report of Reedy Lagoon Corporation Limited and its controlled entities is in
accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
(a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2021 and
of its performance for the financial year ended on that date; and
(b) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial
Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor
independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the
Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional
Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also
fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been
given to the directors of the Group, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of
this auditor’s report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our opinion.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
Without modifying the opinion expressed above, we draw attention to Note 2 “Significant Accounting
Policies – Going Concern” which indicates the company incurred a loss for the period ended 30 June
2020 of $584,531 and operating cash outflows of $558,153. Further, the company’s ability to continue
the exploration and development of its mining tenements, continue to assess new projects and meet
operational expenditure at current levels is dependent upon future capital raising. These conditions
along with other matters as set forth in Note 2, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may
cast significant doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the
company may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in
our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of
our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide
a separate opinion on these matters.

Key Audit Matter
How our audit addressed the key
audit matter
Accounting Treatment of Exploration
and Evaluation Expenses
We focus on the accounting treatment of
exploration and evaluation expenses as this
represents a significant expense of the
consolidated entity and that the recognition of
this amount is significantly affected by
management’s judgement.
We reviewed the consolidated entity’s
accounting policy specifying which expenditures
are recognised as exploration and evaluation
expenditures and its consistent application of
the relevant accounting standard and
accounting policy.
The consolidated entity has incurred significant
exploration and evaluation expenditures. The
accounting treatment of these expenditures
(whether as capital or expense) can have a
significant impact on the financial report. This is
particularly relevant as this consolidated entity is
in an exploration stage with no production
activities. As such it is necessary to assess
whether the facts and circumstances existed to
suggest that these expenditures were
recognised in accordance with AASB 6 para
Aus7.2b (ii) and the consolidated entity’s
accounting policy.
We tested samples of the expenditures to
ensure that these expenditures are associated
with finding specific mineral resources
We evaluated whether the exploration and
evaluation expenditures are expected to be
recouped, either through successful
development and exploitation or through sale..
We enquired with management and evaluated
where the activities in the areas of interest have
not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable
assessment of the existence of economically
recoverable reserves.
We also considered the appropriateness of the
related disclosure in Notes 2 and 3 to the
financial statements.
Responsibilities of the directors for the financial report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true
and fair view and have determined that the basis of preparation described in Note 1 to the financial
report is appropriate to meet the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and is appropriate to meet
the needs of the members. The directors’ responsibility also includes such internal control as the
directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and
fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In the basis of preparation,
the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial
Statements, that the consolidated financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting
Standards.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the audit of the financial report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes
our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit
conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if,
individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions
of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing
and Assurance Standards Board website at: http://www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx. This description
forms part of our auditor’s report.
Report on the Remuneration Report
Opinion on the Remuneration Report

ended 30 June 2021, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
Responsibilities
The directors of the group are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration
Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian
Auditing Standards.
