Key achievements during the year included: Globally competitive project economics The Siviour Scoping Study, completed in May 2017, demonstrates the globally competitive potential of Siviour. The study showed a NPV10 (after-tax) of $551million, with an estimated operating cost $450/tonne (against a basket sales price of $1,420/tonne) and a payback of 1.7 years.

Siviour, which is the largest graphite resource in Australia and among the largest reported graphite deposits in the world, remains open at shallow depths along strike, suggesting additional opportunity to expand. Siviour Mineral Resource estimate as of 15 March 2017 Category Indicated Inferred Total Tonnes of mineralisation (millions) TGC Tonnes of contained graphite (millions) 51.8 28.8 80.6 8.1% 7.6% 7.9% 4.2 2.2 6.4 Note: Cut-off grade of 3% total graphitic carbon. High-quality graphite concentrates Mineral processing test work undertaken during the year established the ability to produce high-quality coarse flake graphite from Siviour core. The tests confirmed a large proportion of coarse flake graphite concentrates using an industry standard flotation circuit at average purity levels of 94% TCG and recoveries of 85%. Additional test work has demonstrated the ability to achieve higher purity levels, including grades of over 99% TCG with an additional regrind and flotation circuit. The test work demonstrates the potential to produce graphite for sale into both the traditional industrial markets, as well as into the lithium-ion battery sector and other high growth segments.

Renascor made a number of breakthrough achievements during the year in the development of our Siviour Graphite Project, advancing the project from a competitive graphite development in the context of other Australian projects to a globally competitive asset. Our drilling at Siviour intersected broad extensions of near-surface graphite, resulting in a greater than five-times increase in the size of our Mineral Resource estimate. Siviour is the largest reported graphite resource in Australia, and one of the largest in the world. Subsequent geophysical surveys suggest the mineralised body extends even further along-strike at shallow depths, highlighting the unique, world-class nature of the Siviour mineralised body. Another important milestone we reached during the year involved our mineral processing test work, in which we demonstrated the ability to produce a high-quality graphite concentrate from Siviour core, including the ability to produce purity of over 99% TCG from a conventional graphite flotation circuit. Importantly, this work demonstrates that Siviour can produce graphite for sale into both the traditional industrial markets, as well as into the high-growth lithium-ion battery sector. The globally competitive character of Siviour was highlighted with the release of our Siviour Scoping Study. Due to the near-surface, flat-lying orientation of Siviour and the ability to produce competitive graphite concentrates, the study returned robust economics that compare favourably to other graphite developments globally. The strong growth in graphite demand, underscored in particular by the expanded use of electric vehicles using lithium-ion batteries, suggests there will be corresponding demand for new graphite developments like Siviour. With globally competitive project economics, we believe Siviour, located in the secure mining jurisdiction of South Australia, offers much needed diversity of supply into the graphite supply chain. As we continue our development of Siviour in the current year, there is strong reason to believe that the progress made in the past year, together with continued developmental activities and favourable graphite market dynamics, will offer the potential catalyst for the re-rating of the company by the equity markets. On behalf on my Board and fellow shareholders, I thank our Managing Director, David Christensen and the entire Renascor team for their dedicated work during an exciting year. I also extend my sincere thanks to you, our shareholders, for your continued support. Yours sincerely, Dick Keevers Chairman 5 Renascor Resources Limited annual report 2017 j s t c e o r p f o w e i v e R Siviour Graphite A tier one graphite development in Australia The Siviour Graphite Project is located near the coast of Eyre Peninsula, an historical graphite producing region of South Australia. See Figure 1. The project contains the Siviour Graphite Deposit, which is Australia’s largest, and among the world’s largest, reported graphite mineral resources. See Siviour in comparison to other graphite resources on page 9 of this annual report. The Siviour Project forms part of Renascor’s Arno Project, which consists of four granted mineral exploration licences, ELs 5618, 5204, 5496 and 5714, covering approximately 1,372km2. During the recently completed financial year, Renascor’s activities were principally focused on advancing the development of Siviour. Key milestones reached during the year included a significant expansion in the size of the Siviour Mineral Resource, the completion of initial metallurgical test work and, in May 2017, the completion of the Siviour Scoping Study.

The average width of mineralisation is 21m, and most of the graphite mineralisation occurs beneath 10m to 25m of surface cover. Within the Siviour Indicated Resource area, the thick, shallow graphite-mineralised body is near flat-lying over the southern and central portions of the prospect before dipping to the north.

Comparison of EM conductivity depth images and cross section for EM line 1390. Throughout the year, Renascor Resources presented at a number of investor conferences. 10 As illustrated in the EM depth slices shown in Figure 6, at an interpreted depth of approximately 20m (top left image), there is strong correlation between conductivity and the Siviour Indicated Resource. In this area, graphite mineralisation commences from approximately 5m to 10m and includes intersections of graphite mineralisation of over 30m. As shown in the EM cross-section for flight line 1390 (Figure 6, bottom image), the EM data confirms the near-surface, flat-lying orientation of graphite mineralisation over the Indicated Resource and suggests this geometry continues into conductive anomalies in the Buckies and Paxton areas, adjacent to the current Indicated Resource. At a depth slice of 40m (Figure 6, top right image), larger areas of comparable conductivity are evident to the north of Siviour (at the Buckies prospect) and to the southeast (at the Paxtons prospect). Previous drilling within these prospect areas intersected some of the widest graphite intersections within the project area, suggesting the potential for significant extensions to the current Indicated Resources with a similarly favourable near-surface, flat- lying orientation. j s t c e o r p f o w e i v e R Mineral process test work During the financial year, Renascor completed initial metallurgical test work on core samples taken from Siviour. The tests confirmed a large proportion of coarse flake graphite concentrates using an industry standard flotation circuit at average purity levels of 94% TCG and recoveries of 85%. See Table 3. Table 3: Summary of Siviour concentrate size distribution Particle size Flake category Microns (μm) Mesh (#) Distribution Jumbo Large >300 +48 180 to 300 -48 to +80 Medium 150 to 180 -80 to +100 Small Fine 75 to 150 -100 to +200 <75 -200 8% 25% 15% 39% 13% The initial work focused on an industry standard design, consisting of a crushing and grinding circuit, followed by four stages of flotation and re-grinding prior to drying and separation. Test work was undertaken at ALS Metallurgy (Adelaide) and Bureau Veritas Minerals (Adelaide) on core samples obtained from 14 diamond holes drilled within areas representative of a sector of low strip ratio mineralisation considered to be of prime economic interest. High purity graphite Additional test work has demonstrated the ability to achieve higher purity levels, including grades of over 99% TCG with an additional regrind and flotation circuit. Continuing metallurgical programs will include the addition of a cost-effective circuit designed to achieve high purity, +99% TGC within the fine flake categories, while maintaining flake size in the coarse flake categories at purity levels in excess of 94% TGC. Renascor believes that Siviour has the potential to produce high quality and cost-competitive graphite concentrates for sale into both the traditional industrial markets, as well as into the lithium- ion battery sector and other high growth segments. 11 The Advertiser story, 24 May 2017 Renascor Resources Limited annual report 2017 j s t c e o r p f o w e i v e R Figure 7.

Test work of six core samples using the modified flowsheet has resulted in similar purity and flake size distribution results as achieved in the initial metallurgical test program, with corresponding improvements in recovery. Further metallurgical work programs will include additional variability tests using the improved flowsheet design, as well as optimisation tests focused on ore pre-treatment, grinding and flotation to improve overall purities and recovery of coarse graphite concentrates. Siviour Scoping Study Following completion of the initial metallurgical testing, Renascor completed the Siviour Scoping Study. The Scoping Study considered multiple mine options based on a 20-year mine life in which the entire Life of Mine (LOM) graphite production target would be entirely included within the existing Indicated Resource of Siviour. Based on market requirements and potential capital raising capacity, an annual production rate of 123,000 tonnes per annum was selected as the most viable scenario. 12 j s t c e o r p f o w e i v e R The Scoping Study is based on producing flake graphite concentrates from a proposed open pit mine and graphite production plant to be located on the project site in South Australia. The potential to produce spherical graphite or other advanced materials through downstream processing is to be considered in further studies. BatteryLimits, an independent mining consulting group, acted as the Scoping Study manager and supervising engineer. A summary of the key results of the Scoping Study is described below in Table 4.

Renascor has an extensive tenement portfolio, holding interests in key mineral provinces of South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory, including the Siviour graphite project near Arno Bay, South Australia. The principal activity of the Group during the financial year was mineral exploration and evaluation. a) Corporate and Financial • For the year ended 30 June 2017, the loss for the Group after providing for income tax was $1,085,492 (2016: $890,079). This included a write down of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure of $300,851 and relinquishment of ten tenements during the period. • On 5 December 2016, Renascor completed the acquisition of a 100% ownership interest in Eyre Peninsula Minerals Pty Ltd (EPM). Renascor previously owned 49% of the outstanding share capital of EPM, and, as first announced on 1 September 2016, Renascor exercised its option to acquire the remaining 51% of EPM subject to obtaining shareholder approval at Renascor’s annual general meeting on 25 November 2016. Having obtained such approval at the annual general meeting, Renascor acquired 20 t r o p e R ’ s r o t c e r i D the remaining 51% of EPM on 5 December 2016 in exchange for 42,068,884 ordinary shares in Renascor and 15,000,000 unlisted options exercisable at $0.05 per option and expiring 5 December 2019. EPM’s primary asset is an option to acquire Ausmin Development Pty Ltd (Ausmin), which owns the underlying rights to the exploration tenements that comprise the Arno Project. • During the year ended 30 June 2017, Renascor’s activities were focused on the Arno Project in South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula, and in particular, the Siviour Graphite Project. Exploration and development activities undertaken during the year included expanding the size of the Siviour deposit, completing initial metallurgical testwork on Siviour core and completing the Siviour Scoping Study (released on the ASX on 23 May 2017). b) Operations • Renascor’s activities during the past financial year were directed at exploring for, acquiring and developing mineral assets. • Significant activities undertaken during the year included: - The acquisition of a 100% interest in EPM, which has the right to acquire the Arno Project, including the Siviour Graphite Project, - The discovery of additional graphite mineralization at Siviour, - The upgrading of the Mineral Resource estimate for Siviour, - The completion of initial metallurgical testwork on Siviour core, and Significant changes in the state of affairs There have been no significant changes in the Group’s state of affairs during the financial year other than have been disclosed elsewhere in this report. Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year On 20 September 2017, the Company announced that it has received firm commitments from professional and sophisticated investors for a placement to raise approximately $3 million (before costs) (Placement). Proceeds from the Placement are planned to advance the Siviour Graphite Project. The Placement will be completed via the issue of up to approximately 179.5 million fully paid ordinary shares in the Company at a price of $0.017 per share, in two tranches. All shares issued under the Placement will include one attaching option for every two new shares issued. The options, subject to shareholder approval, will have an exercise price of $0.03, will be exercisable any time prior to 31 October 2019, and are expected to be quoted on ASX, subject to satisfying ASX criteria. Tranche #1 of the Placement was completed on 27 September 2017 resulting in Renascor receiving a total of $2,051,867 (before costs). This has provided Renascor with sufficient cash balances to fund operations for at least 12 months from the signing of these statements. In the opinion of the directors, no other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2017 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect: • the Group’s operations in future financial - The completion of the Siviour Scoping years, or Study. • In addition to its activities at the Arno Project, Renascor has maintained a strong exploration portfolio, identifying and maintaining a pipeline of targets for the development of graphite, lithium, nickel, uranium, gold, copper and other mineral assets. To limit non-essential expenditure, Renascor has also relinquished tenements considered less prospective. • the results of those operations in future financial years, or • the Group’s state of affairs in future financial years. 21 Renascor Resources Limited annual report 2017 • non-executive director fees; • executive remuneration (directors and other executives); and • the over-arching executive remuneration framework and incentive plan policies. Their objective is to ensure that remuneration policies and structures are fair and competitive and aligned with the long-term interests of the Group. Relationship between remuneration and Group performance During the financial year, the Group has generated losses as its principal activity was exploration for graphite, copper, gold and other minerals within South Australia. As the Group is still in the exploration and evaluation stage, the link between remuneration, Group performance and shareholder wealth is sometimes tenuous. Share prices are subject to the influence of metals prices, market sentiment toward the sector and the global economy, and as such increases or decreases may occur quite independent of executive performance or remuneration. t r o p e R ’ s r o t c e r i D Likely developments and expected results of operations The Company will continue activities in the exploration, evaluation, development and acquisition of viable projects with the objective of establishing a significant production business. Environmental regulation and performance The directors have put in place strategies and procedures to ensure that the Group manages its compliance with environmental regulations. The directors are not aware of any breaches of any applicable environmental regulations.

Non-executive directors’ fees and payments are reviewed periodically by the board. The Chair’s fees are determined independently to the fees of non- executive directors based on comparative roles in the external market. The Chair is not present at any discussions relating to determination of his own remuneration. Non-executive directors do not receive performance-based pay. Directors’ fees The current base fees were established with effect from 15 December 2010. Non-executive directors’ fees are determined within an aggregate directors’ fee pool limit, which is periodically recommended for approval by shareholders. The maximum currently stands at $350,000 per annum and was approved by a special resolution of the members of the Company on 5 August 2010. At the AGM held on 27 November 2014, shareholders approved the Non-Executive Directors Share Plan (NEDSP) for non- executive directors to receive up to 50% of their compensation in shares in the Company. Commencing on 1 October 2014, non-executive directors have received payment for 50% of their director fees with the balance to be issued in shares pursuant to the NEDSP. During the year ended 30 June 2017, 50% of non-executive director fees were withheld by the Company pursuant to the NEDSP, but as at 30 June 2017, the NEDSP shares relating to the period 1 April 2016 to 30 June 2017 remain to be issued. The following director fees have applied during the period: Base fees From 1 July 2016 From 1 July 2015 Chair $60,000 p.a. $60,000 p.a. Other non-executive directors $33,000-40,000 p.a. $33,000-40,000 p.a. Retirement allowances for non-executive directors In line with guidance from the ASX Corporate Governance Council on non-executive directors’ remuneration, no retirement allowances are provided for non-executive directors. Superannuation contributions required under the Australian superannuation guarantee legislation continue to be made as required and are deducted from the directors’ overall fee entitlements. Executive pay The objective of the Group’s executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. The framework aligns executive reward with achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value for shareholders, and conforms to market practice for delivery of reward. The board ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward governance practices: • competitiveness and reasonableness; • acceptability to shareholders; • performance linkage / alignment of executive compensation; • transparency; and • capital management. 23 Renascor Resources Limited annual report 2017 t r o p e R ’ s r o t c e r i D The Group has structured an executive remuneration framework that is market competitive and complementary to the reward strategy of the organisation. Alignment to shareholders’ interests: • has economic profit as a core component of plan design; • focuses on sustained growth in shareholder wealth, consisting of dividends and growth in share price; • delivering constant return on assets as well as focusing the executive on key non-financial drivers of value; and • attracts and retains high calibre executives. Alignment to program participants’ interests: • rewards capability and experience; • reflects competitive reward for contribution to growth in shareholder wealth; • provides a clear structure for earning rewards; and • provides recognition for contribution. The framework provides a mix of fixed and long- term incentives. The board carries out the functions of the Remuneration and Nominations Committees and is responsible for reviewing and negotiating the compensation arrangements of senior executives. It assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration of such officers on a periodic basis by relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality board and executive team. The board manages remuneration and incentive policies and practices and remuneration packages and other terms of employment for executive directors, other senior executives and non- executive directors. The executive pay and reward framework has the following components: • base pay and benefits, including superannuation; • short-term incentive through a cash bonus may be determined by the board; and • long-term incentives through the issue of unlisted share options and performance rights. The combination of these comprises an executive’s total remuneration. Base pay and benefits Base pay and benefits are structured as a total employment cost package which may be delivered as a combination of cash and prescribed non- financial benefits, at the executive’s discretion and subject to board approval. 24 Executives are offered a competitive base pay that comprises the fixed component of pay and rewards to ensure base pay is set to reflect the market for a comparable role. Base pay for executives is reviewed periodically to ensure the executive’s pay is competitive with the market. There is no guaranteed base pay increase included in any of the executives’ contracts. Benefits Private health insurance benefits are provided to the Managing Director. Superannuation Retirement benefits are delivered via superannuation contributions required under the Australian superannuation guarantee legislation. Other retirement benefits may be provided directly by the Group if approved by shareholders. Short-term incentives The Company currently has no formal performance related remuneration policy which governs the payment of annual cash bonuses upon meeting pre-determined performance targets. Long-term incentives Long-term incentives may be provided to directors, executives and consultants through the granting of unlisted share options and or performance rights. The granting of unlisted share options and performance rights is designed to provide long- term incentives for executives to deliver long-term shareholder returns. The granting of such options and performance rights is at the board’s discretion and no individual has a contractual right to receive any guaranteed benefits. The options are issued for nil consideration and have variable vesting dates, exercise prices and maturity dates, i.e. last date to exercise the options. The performance rights plan was approved by shareholders at the 2012 annual general meeting and is designed to focus executives on delivering long-term shareholder return. Under the plan, participants were granted rights to shares which only vest if certain performance conditions are met and the participants are still employed by the company at the end of the vesting period. Participation in the plan is at the absolute discretion of the disinterested board members. Vesting of the performance rights have been subject to a corporate share performance (CSP) condition and a personal key performance indicator (KPI) condition. The performance rights were issued for nil consideration and had variable vesting dates, subject to either CSP condition or KPI condition (and the maximum number of shares which may be issued where the relevant conditions are fully satisfied which are converted on a one for one basis). t r o p e R ’ s r o t c e r i D Total $ c) Details of remuneration Amounts of remuneration Details of the remuneration of the directors and the key management personnel of the Group (as defined in AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures) are set out in the following tables.

These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for the Group consisting of Renascor Resources Limited (‘’Company’’ or ‘’Parent Entity’’) and its subsidiaries. Renascor Resources Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing these financial statements. The financial report was authorised for issue by the directors on 27 September 2017. a) Basis of preparation These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. The presentation currency used in this financial report is Australian dollars. (i) Compliance with IFRS The consolidated financial statements of the Group also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). (ii) Historical cost convention These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of available-for-sale investments and financial assets and liabilities (including derivative financial instruments) at fair value through profit and loss. (iii) Going Concern The Directors believe it is appropriate to prepare the consolidated financial report on a going concern basis, which contemplates realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. As disclosed in the financial report, the group has incurred a loss after tax for the year of $1,085,492 (2016: $890,079) and net operating cash outflow of $573,382 (2016: $325,062). At 30 June 2017, the Group had net current assets of $859,216 (30 June 2016: $555,325). Tranche #1 of a capital raising was completed on 27 September 2017 resulting in Renascor receiving a total of $2,051,867 (before costs). This has provided Renascor with sufficient cash balances to fund operations for at least 12 months from the signing of these statements and therefore supports the going concern basis of preparation. (i) Subsidiaries The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Renascor Resources Limited (‘company’) as at 30 June 2017 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Renascor Resources Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the Group or 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. 39 Renascor Resources Limited ABN 90 135 531 341 annual report 2017 s e t o N Notes to the consolidated financial statements 1 Summary of significant accounting policies Interest Revenue continued c) Foreign currency translation (i) Functional and presentation currency Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates (‘the functional currency’). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency. (ii) Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency 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 year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss, except when they are deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges or are attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign operation. Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are presented in profit or loss, within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in profit or loss on a net basis within other income or other expenses. d) Revenue recognition Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances and duties and taxes paid. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective interest method. Government Grants Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all the attached conditions. Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate. Government grants relating to exploration and evaluation expenditure are offset against exploration and evaluation assets. e) Cash and cash equivalents For the purpose of presentation in the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term and 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. f) Trade receivables Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at cost less any impairment losses. Trade and other receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days. They are presented as current assets unless collection is not expected for more than 12 months after the reporting date. g) Income tax The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses. 40 Renascor Resources Limited ABN 90 135 531 341 annual report 2017 Notes to the consolidated financial statements s e t o N 1 Summary of significant accounting policies h) Business combinations continued g) Income tax continued Deferred tax is provided in full on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled. 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. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in foreign operations where the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred also includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement and the fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non- controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net identifiable assets. The excess of the consideration transferred and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the Group’s share of the net identifiable assets acquired are recorded as goodwill. If those amounts are less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary acquired and the measurement of all amounts has been reviewed, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss as a bargain purchase. Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions. Contingent consideration is classified either as equity or a financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability are subsequently remeasured to fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. 41 Renascor Resources Limited ABN 90 135 531 341 annual report 2017 s e t o N Notes to the consolidated financial statements 1 Summary of significant accounting policies continued i) Impairment of assets Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that have previously been impaired are reviewed for possible reversal of impairment at each reporting date. j) Property, plant and equipment All plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. The cost of an item of plant and equipment also includes the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred. Depreciation on plant and equipment (excluding land) is calculated on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset. The expected useful lives in the current and comparative periods are as follows: - Plant and equipment 3 – 10 years The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (note 1(i)). Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the income statement. k) Exploration and evaluation expenditure Exploration and evaluation expenditure is carried forward in the financial statements, in respect of areas of interest for which the rights of tenure are current and where: (i) such costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; or (ii) exploration and/or evaluation 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 and while active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area are continuing. Exploration expenditure incurred that does not satisfy the policy stated above is expensed in the period in which it is incurred. Exploration expenditure that has been capitalised which no longer satisfies the policy stated above is written off in the period in which any capitalised exploration expenditure no longer satisfies that policy. The net carrying value of each area of interest is reviewed regularly and, to the extent to which this value exceeds its recoverable value, that excess is provided for or written off in the year in which this is determined. l) Trade and other payables These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless an unconditional right exists to defer payment 12 months from the reporting date. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 42 Renascor Resources Limited ABN 90 135 531 341 annual report 2017 Notes to the consolidated financial statements 1 Summary of significant accounting policies continued m) Provisions Provisions for legal claims are recognised when: the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small. The Group has obligations to restore and rehabilitate certain areas where drilling has occurred on exploration tenements. These obligations are currently being met as the drilling is completed and as such no provision has been recognised. n) Employee benefits (i) Short term employee obligations Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of each reporting period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. (ii) Other long term employee obligations The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date, are recognised as part of the provision for employee benefits and measured as 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 salaries and wages levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using corporate bond rates at the end of the reporting period with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. s e t o N Regardless of when settlement is expected to occur, liabilities for long service leave and annual leave are presented as current liabilities in the statement of financial position if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period. (iii) Retirement benefit obligations Defined contribution plans A defined contribution plan is a post- employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss when they are due. (iv) Share based payments Share-based compensation benefits are provided to directors, executives and consultants through the granting of unlisted share options and performance rights. Detailed information is set out in note 28. Options and performance rights are granted for no cash consideration. When these share options and performance rights are granted, the fair value of the options and performance rights issued are recognised as an employee benefits expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of share options and performance rights for which the related service and non-market performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognised as an expense is based on the number of share options and performance rights that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. The fair value of share options and performance rights are measured using an appropriate pricing model. Measurement inputs include the share price on measurement date, exercise price of the instrument, expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option and performance rights. Service and non-market performance conditions attached to the transactions are not taken into account in determining fair value. Upon the exercise of options and performance rights, the balance of the share-based payments reserve relating to those options and performance rights is transferred to share capital. 43 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 taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows.. s) Parent Entity financial information The financial information for the Parent Entity, Renascor Resources Limited, disclosed in note 29 has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements, except as set out below. (i) Investments in subsidiaries IInvestments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost, less any impairment, in the financial statements of the Parent Entity. t) R&D Tax Incentives R&D tax incentives are considered more akin to government grants because they are not conditional upon earning taxable income and the group accounts for any R&D Tax incentives received as government grants under AASB 120 Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance. Renascor Resources Limited ABN 90 135 531 341 annual report 2017 s e t o N Notes to the consolidated financial statements 1 Summary of significant accounting policies continued o) Contributed equity Ordinary shares are classified as equity Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. p) Earnings per share (i) Basic earnings per share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing: • the profit attributable to owners of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares • by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year (refer to note 27). (ii) 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 additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. q) Segment reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Managing Director, who is the Group’s chief operating decision maker. The Managing Director is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments. Refer to note 4 for segment reporting information. r) 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 taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of 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 taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the consolidated statement of financial position. 44 Renascor Resources Limited ABN 90 135 531 341 annual report 2017 Notes to the consolidated financial statements s e t o N 2 Financial risk management TThe Group considers its capital to comprise its ordinary share capital and accumulated losses. The Group does not have a formally established treasury function. The board is responsible for managing the Group’s finance facilities. The Group does not currently undertake hedging of any kind and is not directly exposed to currency risk. The Group holds the following financial instruments: Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents Other receivables Financial liabilities at amortised cost Trade and other payable Consolidated 30 June 2017 $ 30 June 2016 $ 1,230,213 39,076 862,488 154,720 1,269,289 1,017,208 284,225 284,225 345,763 345,763 a) Market risk (i) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk As at 30 June 2017 and 30 June 2016, the Group had no borrowings.

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks and financial institutions. For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a minimum rating of ‘A’ are accepted. The majority of cash and cash equivalents is held with a single financial institution. The credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings (if available) or to historical information about counterparty default rates: Cash and cash equivalents Minimum rating of A Total cash and cash equivalents c) Liquidity risk Consolidated 30 June 2017 $ 30 June 2016 $ 1,230,213 1,230,213 862,488 862,488 Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due and close out market positions. At the end of each reporting period the Group held deposits at call of $1,230,213 (2016: $862,488) that are expected to readily generate cash inflows for managing liquidity risk. The Group has sufficient funds to finance its operations and exploration activities and to allow for reasonable contingencies. Maturities of financial liabilities The tables below analyse the Group’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their contractual maturities. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant.

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on management’s historical experience and knowledge of relevant facts and circumstances at that time. The Group makes estimates and judgments concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and judgments may differ from the related actual results and may have a significant effect on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year and on the amounts recognised in the financial statements. Information on such estimates and judgments is contained in the accounting policies and/or notes to the financial statements. i) Exploration and evaluation expenditure Expenditure incurred on exploration and evaluation activities have been carried forward in accordance with Note 1 (k) on the basis that exploration and evaluation activities have not yet reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves and active and significant operations in relation to the area are continuing. Exploration expenditure incurred that does not satisfy the policy stated above is expensed in the period in which it is incurred. Exploration expenditure that has been capitalised which no longer satisfies the policy stated above is written off in the period in which the decision is made. Details of capitalised exploration and evaluation costs are presented in Note 10. ii) Going Concern The Directors believe it is appropriate to prepare the consolidated financial report on a going concern basis, which contemplates realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. As disclosed in the financial report, the group has incurred a loss after tax for the year of $1,085,492 (2016: $890,079) and net operating cash outflow of $573,382 (2016: $325,062). At 30 June 2017, the Group had net current assets of $859,216 (30 June 2016: $555,325). Tranche #1 of a capital raising was completed on 27 September 2017 resulting in Renascor receiving a total of $2,051,867 (before costs). This has provided Renascor with sufficient cash balances to fund operations for at least 12 months from the signing of these statements and therefore supports the going concern basis of preparation. 4 Segment information The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Managing Director (chief operating decision maker) and the board of directors in assessing performance determining the allocation of resources. The Group is managed primarily on a geographic basis, that is, the location of the respective areas of interest (tenements) in Australia. Operating segments are determined on the basis of financial information reported to the board which is at the consolidated level. The Group does not have any products or services it derives revenue from. Accordingly, management currently identifies the Group as having only one reportable segment, being the exploration for graphite, copper, gold, uranium and other minerals in Australia. There have been no changes in the operating segments during the year. Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based upon analysis of the Group as one segment. The financial results from this segment are equivalent to the financial statements of the Group as a whole. 48 Renascor Resources Limited ABN 90 135 531 341 annual report 2017 Notes to the consolidated financial statements 5 Revenue and Other Income a) Revenue Interest income b) Other Income Sundry Income 6 Expenses Profit/(Loss) before income tax includes the following specific expenses: Depreciation Office furniture and equipment Computer equipment Total depreciation Exploration costs Exploration expenditure incurred Exploration expenditure written off Employee benefits expense Employee share based payments expense Defined contribution superannuation expense s e t o N Consolidated 30 June 2017 $ 30 June 2016 $ 40,898 27,996 - - 12,000 12,000 Consolidated 30 June 2017 $ 30 June 2016 $ 426 2,574 3,000 - 374,343 374,343 293,641 - 47,505 341,146 771 3,387 4,158 - 265,602 265,602 373,431 53,724 427,155 Minimum office lease payments 30,596 30,596 49 Renascor Resources Limited ABN 90 135 531 341 annual report 2017 s e t o N Notes to the consolidated financial statements 7 Income tax expense a) Income tax expense: Current tax Deferred tax Deferred income tax (revenue) expense included in income tax expense comprises: Decrease (increase) in deferred tax assets (note 11) (Decrease) increase in deferred tax liabilities (note 15) Consolidated 30 June 2017 $ 30 June 2016 $ - - - - - - 339,008 (339,088) - 240,978 (240,978) b) Numerical reconciliation of income tax expense to prima facie tax payable Profit/(Loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (1,085,492) Tax at the Australian tax rate of 27.5% (2016: 30%) (298,510) Tax effect of amounts which are not deductible (taxable) in calculating Taxable income: Non-taxable income: - Debt forgiveness - Research and development tax concession Non-deductible expenses: - Entertainment - Share-based payments - Other Deferred tax asset not recognised Under / over provision for income tax - (7,323) 112 - - 305,721 - (890,079) (267,024) (36,407) 53 - - 303,377 Income tax expense c) Tax losses Unused tax losses for which no deferred tax asset has been recognised Potential tax benefit @ 27.5% (2016: 30%) d) Unrecognised temporary differences Temporary differences for which deferred tax assets have not been recognised: Temporary differences Potential tax benefit @ 27.5% (2016: 30%) 298,510 267,024 - - 9,656,857 8,780,729 2,655,636 2,634,219 - - - - 50 Renascor Resources Limited ABN 90 135 531 341 annual report 2017 Notes to the consolidated financial statements 8 Current assets – Cash and cash equivalents Cash at bank and in hand a) Cash at bank and on hand s e t o N Consolidated 30 June 2017 $ 30 June 2016 $ 1,230,213 862,488 Cash at bank accounts are interest bearing attracting normal market interest rates.

Fair values of options at grant date are determined using the Black-Scholes Model. This option pricing model takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the vesting and performance criteria, the impact of dilution, the non-tradable nature of the option, the share price at grant date, expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option (refer to table below for inputs used). The following table lists the inputs to the models used to value options for the year ended 30 June 2017: Black Scholes Model inputs Options grant date Options expiry date Weighted average exercise price Weighted average life of the options Weighted average underlying share price Expected share price volatility Weighted average risk free interest rate Number of options issued Value (Black-Scholes) per option Total value of options issued e) Fair value of performance rights granted Sol Jar 05/12/2016 05/12/2019 $0.05 3 years $0.032 144.39% 2.70% 15,000,000 $0.0239 $359,123 Non-market related performance rights The assessed fair value at grant date of performance rights with non-market related vesting conditions were valued using the Black-Scholes model. The values derived from these models are allotted equally over the period from grant date to vesting date. The expense recognised is adjusted to reflect the number of rights for which the related service and non-market performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognised as an expense is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. Market related performance rights granted The assessed fair value at grant date of performance rights is allotted equally over the period from grant date to vesting date. Fair values at grant date are determined using Monte Carlo Simulation. This method involves the use of a computer model to represent the operation of a complex financial system. A characteristic of the Monte Carlo Simulation is the generation of a large number of random samples from a specified probability distribution or distributions to represent the role of risk in the market. Monte Carlo simulates the path of the share price according to a probability distribution assumption. After a large number of simulations, the arithmetic average of the outcomes, discounted to the pricing date, is calculated to represent the performance right value. Monte Carlo Simulation is an approach that can accommodate complex exercise conditions. In particular, it can be used when the portion of options exercised depends on some function of the whole path followed by the share price, rather than just its value at expiry. The board determines the number of vested performance rights as at the test date based on assessment of achievement of the market based performance conditions. If the performance conditions have not been met, performance rights lapse and do not carry forward to the next test date. Performance rights that have not previously been exercised may lapse for a controllable event which causes cessation of employment. f) General terms and conditions All of these options and performance rights were issued by the Company and entitle the holder to one ordinary share in the Company for each option and performance rights that may be exercised. The options and performance rights were granted for no consideration. Once vested the options and performance rights can be exercised at any time up to the expiry date. Options and performance rights granted carry no dividend or voting rights. During the year covered by the above tables, 15,000,000 unlisted options were granted, 4,000,000 listed options were exercised. 600,001 performance rights were exercised. 66 Renascor Resources Limited ABN 90 135 531 341 annual report 2017 Notes to the consolidated financial statements s e t o N 29 Parent Entity financial information a) Summary financial information The individual financial statements for the Parent Entity show the following aggregate amounts: Statement of Financial Position Current assets Non-current assets Total assets Current liabilities Non-current liabilities Total liabilities Net assets Shareholders’ equity Contributed equity Share-based payment reserves Retained earnings Total equity Profit / (loss) for the year Total comprehensive income Parent entity 30 June 2017 $ 30 June 2016 $ 1,280,151 9,314,296 983,082 4,659,611 10,594,447 5,642,693 421,036 98,082 519,118 428,496 70,750 454,946 10,075,329 5,143,448 18,628,616 1,400,629 (9,953,916) 13,235,479 1,041,506 (9,133,537) 10,075,329 5,143,448 (820,378) (820,378) (864,884) (864,884) b) Contingent liabilities of the Parent Entity The Parent Entity has entered into Asset Sale Agreements with Hillment Pty Ltd to acquire tenement EL 4570 and a similar agreement with Hiltaba Gold Pty Ltd for EL4707.
