In the past year, we have made material strides toward becoming a significant clean energy provider through our flagship Siviour Battery Anode Material (BAM) Project in South Australia. • 8 We achieved several breakthroughs that confirm that the Siviour Project is among the most competitive graphite developments globally and offers leading ESG credentials underpinned by our commitment to maintaining high environmental standards in supplying ethically- sourced, 100% Australian-made Purified Spherical Graphite (PSG) for the growing lithium-ion battery anode sector. Key achievements have included: Conditional $185 million loan. • We made major progress towards financing the development of Siviour with the announcement by the Australian Government, through Export Finance Australia, of a conditional loan facility of A$185million. The project- enabling loan facility, which was approved under the Australian Government’s A$2 billion Critical Minerals Facility, is a significant and tangible endorsement of the unique opportunity of the Siviour Project to develop a world class, globally competitive downstream processing capability in a critical mineral that is fundamental to the development of the electric vehicle revolution. Offtake During the year, we continued to make progress toward achieving offtake agreements with leading lithium-ion battery anode companies, with the announcement of a non-binding agreement with leading South Korean conglomerate POSCO. Together with other non-binding agreements with Chinese anode companies, Minguang New Material and Zeto, and Japan- based global trading company, Hanwa Co Ltd., we have now announced non-binding offtake agreements for the sale of up to 60,000 tonnes of PSG from Siviour. Optimised Battery Anode Material Study • • During the year, we commenced an optimised BAM Study that builds upon our previous feasibility studies. As of result of increasing demand for PSG from both existing MOU partners and other leading anode and battery companies, the optimised study is assessing an increase in PSG production capacity beyond the previously proposed rate of 28,000tpa PSG, as well as additional staged expansions of PSG operations in order to meet projected demand. Expansion Mineral Resource We have taken steps to build upon the Siviour Mineral Resource. Infill drilling undertaken during the year resulted in a 17% increase in the Indicated Resource and a 14% increase in the Measured + Indicated Resource. The results are expected to support an improved pit design, mining schedule and Ore Reserve to be incorporated into the optimised BAM Study. We have also looked to secure the long-life of the Siviour Project by entering into an access and option agreement that will permit us to explore in, and potentially purchase the land over, an area that includes the north- western extension of the Siviour Inferred Resource and other areas immediately along-strike of the existing Mineral Resource. From the Chairman David Christensen, Manager Director – presenting at the SAEMC conference. • Downstream site We recently secured a strategically positioned and scalable site in Bolivar, South Australia for our proposed BAM facility. The site, secured through a 40-year option-to-lease agreement with South Australian Government- owned utility SA Water, will permit us to leverage off the high quality of the Siviour Resource by vertically integrating the mine and concentrator with a state-of-the-art BAM facility in the first integrated graphite mine and PSG production facility outside of China. The advances achieved during the year have put Renascor in a strong position to benefit from the strengthening lithium ion battery market, as we look to complete our final regulatory and technical programs and move closer to a final investment decision on Siviour. The strength of Renascor’s position is thanks to the hard work, commitment and dedication of our small but highly motivated team, led by our Managing Director David Christensen. I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to this pivotal year for the company – my fellow Directors, our senior management team, consultants and advisers and, most importantly, our shareholders. The coming year looks set to be another transformational period for Renascor and look forward to continuing to build this underlying value of the company for all stakeholders. Your sincerely, Richard (Dick) Keevers, Chairman t r o p e R l a u n n A 2 2 0 2 d t L y t P s e c r u o s e R r o c s a n e R 9 Directors’ report 10 The directors present their report, together with the financial statements, on the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as the ‘Group’) consisting of Renascor Resources Limited (referred to hereafter as the ‘Company’ or ‘parent entity’) and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year ended 30 June 2022. Dividends There were no dividends paid, recommended or declared during the current or previous financial year. Review of operations Company overview Renascor Resources Limited (Renascor) is an ASX-listed, Australian-based company focused on the development of economically viable deposits containing graphite, gold, copper and other minerals. Siviour Graphite Project Renascor’s activities during the past financial year were primarily directed at developing the Siviour Graphite Project (Siviour). Other projects In addition to its activities at the Siviour Graphite Project, Renascor has maintained a strong exploration portfolio, identifying and maintaining a strong pipeline of targets for development of gold, copper, cobalt, rare earths, kaolin and other mineral assets. Corporate and financial For the year ended 30 June 2022 the loss for the Group after providing for income tax amounted to $1,496,642 (2021: $877,230). To support the Group’s exploration activities and developing the Siviour Graphite Project, the Company raised $62,698,102 (after capital raising costs) via placements to institutional, professional and sophisticated investors. Significant changes in the state of affairs Beyond capital raising activities, there were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the financial year. Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year On 6 July 2022 the Company announced the results of recent drill assays from Renascor’s Siviour Graphite Deposit. The drill results will be incorporated into a revised pit design and mining schedule as part of Renascor’s optimised Battery Anode Material Study (BAM Study) with the potential to reduce mining costs and increase the volume of graphic ore mined. The results will also permit the calculation of revised Mineral Resource Estimate, expected to be completed by the end of September 2022. On 12 July 2022 the Company announced that it had entered into an access and option agreement that will permit it to explore in, and potentially purchase land over an area that includes the north- western extension of the Siviour Inferred Resource and other areas immediately along-strike of the existing Mineral Resource. On 3 September 2022 6,000,000 performance rights lapsed. Additional information regarding the performance rights can be found in note 30 Share based payments. Directors’ report Climate change The Group recognises the growing interest of our stakeholders in relation to the potential risks and opportunities posed to our business, and the broader sector, in response to climate change and the anticipated global transition towards a lower carbon economy. Key climate-related risks and opportunities relevant to our business include: • Communities and society expect a response from companies in relation to climate change, inaction could potentially lead to resistance or blockage of the project if there is a lack of strategy from the Group’s transition to a lower carbon economy. • Current and potential future investors are increasingly focused on ESG aspects of projects giving rise to possible financial and reputational risk. • We believe this transition into a lower carbon economy gives rise to opportunities for projects like our Battery Anode Material Project that promote the use of clean energy. • The physical impacts of climate change including changes to weather patterns have the potential to impact upon operations. On 20 September 2022 the Company announce that it had executed an option-to-lease for the site of its proposed state-of-the-art Battery Anode Material facility to produce purified spherical graphite (PSG). The option agreement with South Australian Government-owned utility SA Water provides Renascor with initial lease options for 40 years over the site north of Adelaide in Bolivar, South Australia. The site is about 20km from South Australia’s main shipping port at Port Adelaide and is close to SA Water’s Bolivar water treatment and industrial facilities. The site is 20 hectares, providing sufficient scale to permit both an increase to the originally planned Stage 1 PSG production capacity, as well as additional Stage 2 PSG production capacity. No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2022 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the Group’s operations, the results of those operations, or the Group’s state of affairs in future financial years. 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. t r o p e R l a u n n A 2 2 0 2 d t L y t P s e c r u o s e R r o c s a n e R 11 Directors’ report Information on Directors David Christensen Managing Director Richard (Dick) Keevers Non-Executive Chairman Experience and expertise: Experience and expertise: David Christensen is an experienced mining executive, with successful experience managing exploration, mining and marketing operations.

Remuneration report (audited) The remuneration report details the key management personnel remuneration arrangements for the Group, in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations. Key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, including all directors. The remuneration report is set out under the following main headings: • Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration • Details of remuneration • Service agreements • Share-based compensation • Additional information • Additional disclosures relating to key management personnel. Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration 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 the achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value for shareholders, and it is considered to conform to the market best practice for the delivery of reward. The Board of Directors (‘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. The Board carried out the functions of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and is responsible for determining and reviewing remuneration arrangements for its directors and executives. The performance of the Group depends on the quality of its directors and executives. The remuneration philosophy is to attract, motivate and retain high performance and high quality personnel. The Board is responsible for managing: • 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. t r o p e R l a u n n A 2 2 0 2 d t L y t P s e c r u o s e R r o c s a n e R 15 Relationship between remuneration and Group performance: During the financial year, the Group has generated losses as its principal activity was developing the Siviour Graphite Project and exploration for graphite, copper, gold and other minerals within South Australia. As the Group is still in the development, 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 towards the sector and the global economy and as such increases or decreases may occur quite independent of executive performance or remuneration. In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive director and executive director remuneration is separate. Non-executive directors remuneration Fees and payments to non-executive directors reflect the demands and responsibilities of their role. Non-executive directors’ fees and payments are reviewed periodically by the Board. The chairman’s fees are determined independently to the fees of other non-executive directors based on comparative roles in the external market. The chairman is not present at any discussions relating to the determination of his own remuneration. Non-executive directors do not receive any performance-based pay. ASX listing rules require the aggregate non-executive directors’ remuneration be determined periodically by a general meeting. The most recent determination was at the Annual General Meeting held on the 30th of November 2021, where the shareholders approved a maximum annual aggregate remuneration of $750,000 Retirement allowances for non-executive directors In line with guidance from the ASX Corporate Governance Council on non-executive director’s 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 remuneration 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. 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; • 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 carried out the functions of the Remuneration and Nominations Committees and is responsible for reviewing and negotiating 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. 16 Directors’ Report 30 June 2022 The Board ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward governance practices: the “additional information” section below for details of the earnings and total shareholders return for the last five years. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is of the opinion that the results can be attributed in part to the adoption of performance based compensation and is satisfied that this improvement will continue to increase shareholder wealth if maintained over the coming years. Voting and comments made at the Company’s 30 November 2021 Annual General Meeting (‘AGM’) At the 30 November 2021 AGM, 97.86% of the votes received supported the adoption of the remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2021. The Company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM regarding its remuneration practices. • base pay and benefits, including superannuation; • short-term performance incentives through a cash bonus may be determined by the Board; and • long-term incentives through the issue of share options and performance rights. The combination of these comprises the 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. 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. Consolidated entity performance and link to remuneration Remuneration for certain individuals is directly linked to the performance of the Group. A portion of any cash bonus and incentive payments are at the discretion of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee.

Significant accounting policies Basis of preparation Parent entity information The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out either in the respective notes or below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted The Group 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. 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 Group for the annual reporting period ended30 June 2022. The Group has not yet assessed the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations. In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the Group only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 25. Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Renascor Resources Limited (‘Company’ or ‘parent entity’) as at 30 June 2022 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’. Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group 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 Group. They are de- consolidated from the date that control ceases. 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 available-for- sale financial assets, financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, 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 Group’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 2. t r o p e R l a u n n A 2 2 0 2 d t L y t P s e c r u o s e R r o c s a n e R 29  1. Significant accounting policies Principles of consolidation continued Revenue recognition Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the Group 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 Group. 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 Group 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 Group 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. The Group recognises revenue as follows: Revenue from contracts with customers Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group is expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the Group: identifies the contract with a customer; identifies the performance obligations in the contract; determines the transaction price which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money; allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service to be delivered; and recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised. Variable consideration within the transaction price, if any, reflects concessions provided to the customer such as discounts, rebates and refunds, any potential bonuses receivable from the customer and any other contingent events. Such estimates are determined using either the ‘expected value’ or ‘most likely amount’ method. The measurement of variable consideration is subject to a constraining principle whereby revenue will only be recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur. The measurement constraint continues until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Amounts received that are subject to the constraining principle are recognised as a refund liability. 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. 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: 30 Financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 1. Significant accounting policies continued Income tax • 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. Renascor Resources Limited (the ‘head entity’) and its wholly- owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime. The head entity and each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The tax consolidated group has applied the ‘separate taxpayer within group’ approach in determining the appropriate amount of taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group. In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the head entity also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group. Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the tax consolidated group. The tax funding arrangement ensures that the intercompany charge equals the current tax liability or benefit of each tax consolidated group member, resulting in neither a contribution by the head entity to the subsidiaries nor a distribution by the subsidiaries to the head entity. 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. 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 Group’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 Group’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. t r o p e R l a u n n A 2 2 0 2 d t L y t P s e c r u o s e R r o c s a n e R 31  1. Significant accounting policies continued Impairment of non-financial assets Non-financial assets 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. Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre- tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit. Goods and Services Tax (‘GST’) and other similar taxes 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. 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. 2. 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 The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity- settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity. 32 Financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 2. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions Share-based payment transactions continued 3. Operating segments The Group has identified its Details of share based payment transactions are presented in note 30. Exploration and evaluation costs Exploration and evaluation costs have been capitalised on the basis that the Group will commence commercial production in the future, from which time the costs will be amortised in proportion to the depletion of the mineral resources. Key judgements are applied in considering costs to be capitalised which includes determining expenditures directly related to these activities and allocating overheads between those that are expensed and capitalised. In addition, costs are only capitalised that are expected to be recovered either through successful development or sale of the relevant mining interest. Factors that could impact the future commercial production at the mine include the level of reserves and resources, future technology changes, which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes and changes in commodity prices. To the extent that capitalised costs are determined not to be recoverable in the future, they will be written off in the period in which this determination is made. Details of capitalised exploration and evaluation costs are presented in note 11. Development assets Critical estimates and judgments are disclosed in note 12. operating segments based on the internal reports that reviewed and used by the Managing Director (Chief Operating Decision Maker ‘CODM’) 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 development of the Siviour Graphite Project and 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. Accounting policy for 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 CODM. The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance. t r o p e R l a u n n A 2 2 0 2 d t L y t P s e c r u o s e R r o c s a n e R 33  4.

In addition, these tax losses can only be utilised in the future if the continuity of ownership test is passed, or if failing that, the same business test is passed. The Group had nil franking credits in its franking account at 30 June 2022 (2021: Nil). No deferred tax liability has been recognised for expenditure pertaining to exploration and evaluation and development assets. The amount of $5,667,205 is fully offset by the company’s deferred tax assets (2021: $4,554,818). No deferred tax asset has been recognised because it is not likely future assessable income is derived of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit to be realised. 8.

Accounting policy for trade and other receivables Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days. The Group has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days overdue. Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses. 10.

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 is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment (excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows: Plant and equipment 3‑10 years The deprecation rates have not changed from the financial year ended 30 June 2021. The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date. An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the Group. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss. t r o p e R l a u n n A 2 2 0 2 d t L y t P s e c r u o s e R r o c s a n e R 37 11.

Where a project or an area of interest has been abandoned, the expenditure incurred thereon is written off in the year in which the decision is made. Exploration and evaluation expenditure comprises of net direct costs and includes an appropriate portion of related salaries & wages expenditure associated with each area of interest. During the financial year the Group has not allocated any internal personnel costs to the exploration expenditure for the year (2021: $29,279). 12.

Development asset continued Assessing impairment on development asset The development asset had been assessed for impairment. In determining the recoverable amount of the asset, estimates were made regarding the present value of future cashflows. These estimates require significant management judgments and assumptions and are subject to risk and uncertainty that may be beyond the control of the group. The recoverable amount estimate is most sensitive to assumptions regarding the long-term forecasts of production capacity, graphite prices and discount rates. The Company has considered market conditions and changes to these estimates and is satisfied that there is no impairment to the carrying value of the development asset. The main estimates and assumptions used are as follows: • Production: the model is based on staged development with average production of 80ktpa during the first 4 years, before expansion to 144ktpa in years 5 to 10. • Graphite prices: prices are based on the latest internal forecasts taking into account expected demand and supply, benchmarked with external sources of information. • Discount rate: a discount rate 10% has been used for financial modelling. Price risk The Group  is exposed to price risk from the commodity graphite. The demand for, and the price of, commodities are highly dependent on a variety of factors, including international supply and demand, the price and availability of substitutes, technological advances, actions taken by governments and global economic and political developments. Given the Group’s main activities, which are focused on the development of the Siviour Graphite Project, a fall in the price of graphite may result in a reduction in the recoverable amount of the Siviour Project Development Asset and an impairment may need to be recognised. The Company has considered market conditions and changes to the estimated graphite prices and is satisfied that there is no impairment to the carrying value of the development asset. Accounting policy for development assets Expenditure is transferred from ‘Exploration and evaluation assets’ to ‘Development asset’ once the work completed to date supports the future development of the property and such development receives appropriate approvals. After transfer of the exploration and evaluation assets, all subsequent expenditure on the construction, installation or completion of infrastructure facilities is capitalised in ‘development asset’. Development expenditure is net of proceeds from the sale of ore extracted during the development phase to the extent that it is considered integral to the development of the asset. Any costs incurred in the testing of assets to determine if they are functioning as intended, are capitalised, net of any proceeds received from selling any product produced while testing. Where these proceeds exceed the cost of testing, any excess is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. After production starts, all assets included in “Development asset’ are then transferred to ‘Producing mine’. Development asset expenditure comprises of net direct costs and includes an appropriate portion of related salaries & wages expenditure associated with each area of interest. During the financial year the Group has allocated internal personnel costs of $691,084 to the development asset for the year (2021: $242,920). Note: Refundable tax incentives (Research and development tax concession) are accounted for as government grants under AASB 120 Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance and offset against capitalised development asset. # 13.

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. Amounts not expected to be settled within the next 12 months The current provision for employee benefits includes all unconditional entitlements where employees have completed the required period of service and also those where employees are entitled to pro-rata payments in certain circumstances. The entire amount is presented as current, since the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement. However, based on past experience, the Group does not expect all employees to take the full amount of accrued leave or require payment within the next 12 months. Provision for Settlement During the year ended 30 June 2022 the company paid $100,000 in cash and issued 1,471,754 shares ($400,000) to the service provider in accordance with their agreement. Renascor had previously agreed to pay this amount in full and final satisfaction of amounts that were owing for services provided in relation to the Siviour Definitive Feasibility Study. 40 Exercise options Exercise options Balance Exercise options Exercise options Exercise options Financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 15.

Capital risk management The Group’s objectives when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. 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. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. The Group would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company was seen as value adding relative to the current Company’s share price at the time of the investment. The Group is not actively pursuing additional investments in the short term as it continues to integrate and grow its existing businesses in order to maximise synergies. The Group is subject to certain financing arrangements covenants and meeting these is given priority in all capital risk management decisions. There have been no events of default on the financing arrangements during the financial year. The Group is not currently subject to any financing arrangements covenants. When the group is subject to financing arrangements covenants, meeting them is the priority in all capital risk management decisions. There have been no events of default on financing arrangements during the financial year or in the past. The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 30 June 2021 Annual Report. Accounting policy for 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. 16.

Financial instruments Financial risk management objectives The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including price risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’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 Group. 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. t r o p e R l a u n n A 2 2 0 2 d t L y t P s e c r u o s e R r o c s a n e R 43  19.

Interest rate risk As at 30 June 2022 and 30 June 2021, the Group had no borrowings. As such the group is not exposed to any significant interest rate risk. At the reporting date, the Company is exposed to changes in market interest rates through its bank deposits, which are subject to variable interest rates. The following table illustrates the sensitivity of the net result for the year and equity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates of +0.5% and -0.5% (2020: +0.5%/-0.5%), with effect from the beginning of the year. These changes are considered to be reasonably possible based on observation of current market conditions. The calculations are based on the cash and cash equivalents held at the beginning of each reporting period. All other variables are held constant.

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. Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group does not hold any collateral to mitigate this risk. The Group 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 Group based on recent sales experience, historical collection rates and forward-looking information that is available. 44 Financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 19. Financial instruments Credit risk continued 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. 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 Liquidity risk Consolidated 2022 $ 2021 $ 74,035,061 17,273,701 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 $74,036,061 (2021: $17,273,701) that are expected to readily generate cash inflows for managing liquidity risk. The Group has sufficient funds to finance its operations, exploration activities and development asset and to allow for reasonable contingencies. Remaining contractual maturities The following tables detail the Group’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 drill results will be incorporated into a revised pit design and mining schedule as part of Renascor’s optimised Battery Anode Material Study (BAM Study) with the potential to reduce mining costs and increase the volume of graphic ore mined. The results will also permit the calculation of revised Mineral Resource Estimate, expected to be completed by the end of September 2022. On 12 July 2022 the Company announced that it had entered into an access and option agreement that will permit it to explore in, and potentially purchase land over an area that includes the north-western extension of the Siviour Inferred Resource and other areas immediately along-strike of the existing Mineral Resource. On 18 August 2022 the Company announced an upgrade to the Mineral Resource Estimate for the Siviour Graphite Deposit. The updated estimate represents a 17% increase in the Indicated Resource and a 14% increase in the Measured and Indicated Resource. On 3 September 2022 6,000,000 performance rights lapsed. Additional information regarding the performance rights can be found in note 30 Share based payments. On 20 September 2022 the Company announce that it had executed an option-to-lease for the site of its proposed state-of-the-art Battery Anode Material facility to produce purified spherical graphite (PSG). The option agreement with South Australian Government-owned utility SA Water provides Renascor with initial lease options for 40 years over the site north of Adelaide in Bolivar, South Australia. The site is about 20km from South Australia’s main shipping port at Port Adelaide and is close to SA Water’s Bolivar water treatment and industrial facilities. The site is 20 hectares, providing sufficient scale to permit both an increase to the originally planned Stage 1 PSG production capacity, as well as additional Stage 2 PSG production capacity. No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2022 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the Group’s operations, the results of those operations, or the Group’s state of affairs in future financial years. t r o p e R l a u n n A 2 2 0 2 d t L y t P s e c r u o s e R r o c s a n e R 49 28.

Accounting policy for earnings per share Basic earnings per share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of Renascor Resources 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. 50 Financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 30. Share-based payments Directors and executives share based payments Commencing 1 May 2020 Mr Christensen received payment for 90% of his directors fees, with 10% of his fees withheld by the Company to be paid via the issue of share capital subject to shareholder approval. The shares for the period 1 October 2020 to 30 June 2021 were issued following shareholder approval at the 2021 AGM totaling $15,360 (2021: $9,600). There are no options that have been granted to directors and senior management as part of their remuneration (2021: Nil). Share based payments to consultants During the period the amount of the equity settled share-based payment recognised in the current period in respect of shares issued to consultants was $400,000 (2021: $66,000). There were no options granted during the year as consideration for capital raising services provided (2021: $139,340). Performance rights granted to directors and senior management At the Extraordinary General Meeting held on 3 September 2018 Shareholders of the Company granted approval for the issue of performance rights to Mr David Christensen. Details of the performance rights are in the Notice of Extra Ordinary General Meeting dated 1 August 2018. However the vesting conditions are outlined below: Tranche A Performance Rights. 6,000,000 Performance Rights will vest upon the completion of a positive Definite Feasibility Study in respect of the production of graphite concentrates. Tranche B Performance Rights. 6,000,000 Performance Rights will vest upon the commencement of construction of a commercial graphite concentrate production facility Tranche C Performance Rights. 6,000,000 Performance Rights will vest upon (i) the share price of Renascor ordinary shares having achieved a closing price of in excess of $0.055 for five consecutive days after the issue date of such Performance Rights, and (ii) the date that is two and one-half years after the issue date of such Performance Rights. The Performance Rights are expensed over the expected vesting period. The total value of Performance Rights expensed in the current period is $Nil (2021: $13,666). In the current period Tranche B’s value was re- assessed. It is improbable that the Tranche B of the performance rights will vest and credit of $108,000 has been recognised in the current period (2021: $Nil). The performance rights were valued as outlined below: Tranche A Tranche B Tranche C Total Total value at grant date $ Expensed during the year $ 108,000 108,000 45,600 261,600 ‑ ‑ ‑ ‑ The tranches were valued using the Black Scholes pricing model that takes into account the term of the Performance Rights, the vesting and performance criteria (if applicable), the non-tradable nature of the rights (if applicable), the share price at grant date, expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield, the probability that the Performance Rights will issue and the risk free interest rate for the term of the Performance Right. The probability that the Tranche C rights will vest (38%) was determined using the Monte Carlo simulation. This model takes into account the randomness of the share price movements and the volatility of the underlying share. t r o p e R l a u n n A 2 2 0 2 d t L y t P s e c r u o s e R r o c s a n e R 51  30.

Fair value of 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. The fair value was independently determined using a Black Scholes option pricing model. that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the vesting and performance criteria (if applicable), the impact of dilution, the non-tradable nature of the option (if applicable), 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. Historical volatility of a group of comparable companies has been the basis of determining expected share price volatility, as it is assumed that this is indicative of future movements. No adjustment has been made to the life of the option based on no past history regarding expected exercise or any variation of the expiry date. Accordingly, the expected life of the options has been taken to the full period of time from grant date to expiry date, which may fail to eventuate in the future. The valuation model input also assumes no dividend yield on the Performance Shares. 52 Financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 30. Share-based payments continued Accounting policy for share-based payments Share-based compensation benefits are provided to directors, executives and consultants through the granting of share options and performance rights. 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. 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. If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the Group or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the Group 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. t r o p e R l a u n n A 2 2 0 2 d t L y t P s e c r u o s e R r o c s a n e R 53 Directors’ declaration 30 June 2022 In the directors’ opinion: • the attached financial statements and notes comply with the Corporations Act 2001, the Accounting Standards, the Corporations Regulations 2001 and other mandatory professional reporting requirements; • the attached financial statements and notes comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board as described in note 1 to the financial statements; • the attached financial statements and notes give a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2022 and of its performance for the financial year ended on that date; and • there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Company will be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable.
