The second half of calendar 2022 saw activities focused around the prolific Mount Isa mining region where drilling at the company’s North Isa Project returned positive results at the Lady Agnes Mine while the first half of 2023 served to realise the phenomenal potential of our project near Cloncurry. In January 2023, Renegade reached an agreement with Carpentaria Joint Venture (CJV) partner Mount Isa Mines Limited (MIM) to become sole operator and funder of EPM 8588, now named the Cloncurry Project. The project is host to a number of advanced copper prospects including the exciting Mongoose and Mt Glorious targets. The project is located around the Cloncurry township and has substantial infrastructure at its doorstep including rail, power, water, support services and is in an area which has an ongoing commitment to the mining industry. Renegade moved its operational base from Mt Isa to Cloncurry in April 2023 to reflect the concentration of its work in Cloncurry. In March, the company completed a 2,000m reverse circulation (RC) drilling campaign over 23 holes at the Mongoose Prospect after earlier field work confirmed the presence of significant copper-gold mineralisation within multiple gossanous zones. Mongoose is a primary target given significant historical copper-gold drill intercepts and its location immediately along strike from the neighbouring Paddock Lode Mine and Taipan Deposit. First stage drilling encountered high-grade copper sulphide zones across multiple including RMG021 which returned assays up to 25% copper in the copper sulphide zone. Extensive close-to-surface supergene style copper mineralisation was also intersected. On the back of these very encouraging results, second stage drilling of 1,600m began in May and provided further confirmation of both oxide and deeper sulphide mineralisation. Renegade has commenced work on developing a resource for Mongoose and is looking to do further drilling ahead of investigating near-term monetisation pathways. Renegade ended the financial year on a high note when a substantial soil sampling and field mapping program, completed 7km west of Mongoose at the historical Mt Glorious open pits, returned rock chip samples up to 17.8% copper. Maiden drilling was poised to get underway at Mt Glorious in early October at the time of writing. Given the focus at the Cloncurry Project work was limited at the North Isa Project however, future work at Lady Agnes and Tulloch remains a focus for future activity in the current calendar year. Funding was provided by ongoing proceeds from the Yandal East Project sale which provided cash, shares and a royalty. Renegade continues to manage its portfolio and will look to opportunistic rationalisation of the portfolio for future funding. This financial year is already shaping up as one of Renegade’s most exciting periods and we look forward to returning greater value on your investment in the company. Yours faithfully Robert Kirtlan Chairman, Renegade Exploration Limited Renegade Exploration Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 4 Review of Operations Renegade Exploration Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 5 Project Overview Renegade Exploration is an Australian based minerals exploration and development company focused on the development of projects in northern Queensland. The company’s primary objective is to deliver long-term shareholder value through the discovery, acquisition and development of economic mineral deposits. The company’s portfolio has exposure to copper, gold, zinc, cobalt, vanadium and rare earths and stretches from the prolific mining district of Mount Isa in the west to Barcaldine in central west Queensland. Our interest in the Carpentaria Joint Venture covers a package of advanced copper and gold projects in Queensland’s Cloncurry mining district led by the Cloncurry Project, which is advanced in terms of prospective targets and previous exploration activity. The company has recently expanded its north-west Queensland interests by earning a 75% joint venture interest in the North Isa Project, located just north of MIM’s George Fisher mining operations and has several advanced prospects to continue exploration activities on. It has also acquired permits near Barcaldine in central west Queensland which are considered to be prospective for vanadium and rare earths. Renegade Exploration Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 6 Cloncurry Project (EPM 8588) Copper | Gold | Cobalt Renegade has a 27% interest in the Cloncurry Project, EPM 8588, which is located near the established mining town of Cloncurry in north-west Queensland and hosts a number of advanced copper prospects including the Mongoose and Mt Glorious prospects. The project is along strike from the neighbouring Great Australia Mine and Taipan Deposit. In January 2023, Renegade announced it had reached an agreement with Carpentaria Joint Venture (CJV) partner Mount Isa Mines Limited (MIM) to become sole operator and funder of EPM 8588. Mongoose Prospect Located just south of Cloncurry, Mongoose is a primary target with significant historical copper-gold intercepts and is along strike from the neighbouring Great Australia Mine and Taipan Deposit. Mongoose has been the subject of two drilling programs since March 2023 to determine potential for near term mining with the initial target being near surface copper oxides. Renegade has completed two reverse circulation drilling programs, totalling ~3,600m, at Mongoose in March and May 2023. The program has been successful in expanding the supergene oxide zone and discovering a high-grade sulphide zone. Renegade is currently working on modelling the oxide and sulphide resources. Renegade Exploration Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 7 Figure 1. Drilling at the Mongoose Prospect, Cloncurry Project, in March 2023. Renegade drilled ~2,000m in its first Stage 1 reverse circulation (RC) drilling program followed by ~1,600m of RC to continue expanding the oxide copper zone and further test the sulphide mineralisation discovered in the first program and reported on 22 March 2023. Stage 1 drilling in April intersected the shallow oxide zone and discovered high grade sulphide zone including: RMG021: 27 m @ 2.2 % Cu, 0.35 g/t Au from 84 m; including, 10 m @ 5.4 % Cu, 0.87 g/t Au from 84 m including 1 m @ 25.60 % Cu, 2.13 g/t Au from 90 m, including 1 m @ 14.05 % Cu, 1.98 g/t Au from 91 m RMG019: 74 m @ 0.70 % Cu, 0.19 g/t Au from 68 m; including, 5 m @ 1.9 % Cu, 1.01 g/t Au, from 68 m; and 27 m @ 1.1 % Cu, 0.26 g/t Au, from 115 m; including, 7 m @ 2.3 % Cu, 0.54 g/t Au, from 130 m The Stage 2 drilling in May continued to intercept shallow oxide copper zones and the high-grade copper sulphide mineralisation with the following highlights : RMG032: 42m @ 0.79 % Cu, 0.17 g/t Au from 96m; including 25m @ 1.1 % Cu, 0.26 g/t Au from 113m; including 8m @ 2.3 % Cu, 0.6 g/t Au from 113m; including 3m @ 4.5 % Cu, 1.4 g/t Au from 119m; and 10m @ 0.47 % Cu, 0.09 g/t Au from 6m. RMG018: 20m @ 0.74 % Cu, 0.22 g/t Au from 169m; including 8m @ 1.0 % Cu, 0.29 g/t Au from 181m. RMG029: 11m @ 0.84 % Cu, 0.14 g/t Au from 79m. RMG030: 10m @ 0.34 % Cu, 0.06 g/t Au from 130m. RMG026: 15m @ 0.90 % Cu, 0.15 g/t Au from 10m. Renegade Exploration Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 8 Figure 2. Mongoose plan view showing recent drill hole intercepts. Mongoose Prospect Background The Mongoose Prospect is hosted by dolerite-gabbro-porphyritic basalts of the Toole Creek Formation. The mineralised zone is dominated by magnetite-actinolite-albite-chlorite altered, sheared and brecciated dolerites. The mineralisation is both primary and supergene in nature. The supergene zone is defined by the presence of malachite, chrysocolla, chalcocite, and cuprite. The fresh, primary (hypogene) copper mineralisation is defined by chalcopyrite with accessory pyrite. The work completed by the CJV during 2013-14 delineated an extensive coincident magnetic-chargeable anomaly and based on this the CJV completed 3,988 m of reverse circulation (RC) and diamond drilling over 21 drill holes during 2013/2014. Renegade Exploration Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 9 Figure 3. Mongoose project, showing nearby open pit mines and resources with magnetics RTP. The entire EPM 8588 permit area has numerous historical workings and has been the subject of substantial historical work programs including soil and rock chip sampling, geophysics, mapping and over 15,000m of drilling. This data has been compiled into Renegades GIS and is the subject of ongoing review. Numerous prospects exist which require follow up. In general, the previous programs were targeting large deposits. Renegade is working on models which may host smaller high-grade deposits which lend themselves to early mining and cash generation opportunities. Renegade has inherited work from previous programs totalling ~$5m. Following the commencement of the sole risking or Earn Back in EPM 8588 Renegade is the operator of the permit and controls expenditure and exploration and development of the permit. Renegade will earn back into the permit on terms similar to the existing CJV terms previously announced. Mt Glorious Prospect Mt Glorious is located just 7km west of Mongoose and the Cloncurry townsite and lies 500m off the Barkly Highway. Mt Glorious was mined up until approximately 2013-15. Records are limited but the Company is pursuing what data may be available. Mt Glorious consists of three pits, South Pit, Main Pit and North Pit. From the sampling done to date, field mapping and observation of the geological settings it appears the ore grade was high. Renegade Exploration Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 10 Figure 4. Mt Glorious Prospect showing recent soil sampling, high grade rock chips and historic pit outlines. Numerous historical mining pits lie on a north-south/north-west trending structure and exhibit brecciation and alteration. Of additional interest is the parallel iron formation which appears to be high grade haematite. Samples have been taken to determine grade and characteristics of the iron ore. Rock chip sampling in pit and surrounds has yielded outstanding results including:; MGLRS001 MGLRS004 MGLRS009 MGLRS016 MGLRS017 17.8% Cu, 0.28g/t Au 2.96% Cu 4.33% Cu, 0.14g/t Au 2.89% Cu, 14.35g/t Au 5.93% Cu Renegade Exploration Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 11 A soil sampling program comprising over 500 samples was completed in June with pXRF results released on 27 July 2023. The program highlighted broad zones of mineralisation in the geological corridor of interest; • ~1,000m long, ~250m wide +200 ppm Copper anomaly within which is a; • ~400m long, ~140m wide high-grade +800 ppm Copper anomaly • Including spot high copper values of;  RGLSS_297: 5,434 ppm Cu  RGLSS_298: 2,798 ppm Cu  RGLSS_360: 2,394 ppm Cu • A large ~600m long, ~250m wide high-grade Cobalt anomaly (+800 ppm) • Including spot high cobalt value of;  RGLSS_81: 1380 ppm Cu Mt Glorious Geology Copper deposits in the western portion of EPM 8588 are separated into two dominant types. The first type of deposits are limestone hosted, where the copper is delivered into the limestone via faults and fractures. Copper precipitation is thought to occur due to a chemical reaction between the copper rich fluids and the carbonate rich rock. These deposits include Magpie, Salmon, Dolomite, and the Dingo historical mines. The second deposit type is where the copper is fault/breccia hosted with the quartzite country rock. Mt Glorious is the second type and is hosted by quartzites and dolerites which have been faulted and brecciated thereby providing the open spaces and fluid pathways required for mineralisation. The mineralisation at Mt Glorious is characterised by a large alteration system covering numerous faults which display differing elemental enrichments. From west to east, the faults display hematite enrichment, followed by a line of faults with copper enrichment, then by a zone of pyrite enrichment. The structures of interest are mainly steep dipping and trend to the NW and dipping steeply to the NE (70-80°). These faults develop into a quartz-hematite breccia and gossan in the central area. A secondary fault system is highlighted by a hematite rich ridge which trends WNW. Mineralisation within the open pits at Mt Glorious consists of supergene copper enrichment. The dominant copper minerals are chalcocite, cuprite, malachite, azurite and chrysocolla. Renegade Exploration Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 12 Carpentaria Joint Venture Copper | Gold | Cobalt Renegade has a 23% interest in the Carpentaria Joint Venture (CJV) which covers a package of advanced copper and gold projects in Queensland’s Cloncurry mining district. Our operating partner is Mount Isa Mines Limited (a subsidiary of Glencore plc). The CJV holds the following permits EPM 8586 (Mt Marathon), EPM 12180 (St Andrews Extended), EPM 12561 (Fountain Range), EPM 12597 (Corella River), and EPM 8588 (Mt Avarice) (excised under sole risk terms and now funded and operated by Renegade). Renegade Exploration Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 13 Edgard Copper-Cobalt Prospect (EPM 12180) Drilling of two RC holes was completed in the June quarter. Renegade will compile the results when received and report to JORC12. Edgarda is located within 9km of the three recent discoveries by Carnaby Resources (Figure 6) which included: • Nil Desperandum, 7 km SW, 41m @ 4.1% Cu • Lady Fanny, 5km EW, 68m @ 2.4% Cu • Mount Hope 8 km NW, 60 m @ 3.1% Cu The company rates the Edgarda Prospect highly. It hosts a 2,300m long magnetic anomaly and a 1,300m long chargeable/resistivity anomaly which are only partially drilled (Figure 6). Drilling consisted of just two holes underneath the historical Edgarda mine (Figure 7), recorded as being 400m long, 15m wide, and 8m deep. This area is completely undrilled to date. The Company has been on site and notes numerous workings including shafts in the area of interest. Edgarda Prospect Background Edgarda is hosted by highly sheared and altered calc-silicate rocks of the Corella Formation (Eastern Fold Belt). The work completed by the CJV during the early 2000’s delineated an extensive coincident magnetic-chargeable- resistive-soil (Cu/Co) anomaly. Based on the coincident anomalies. The CJV completed 2,230m of reverse circulation (RC) and diamond drilling over nine drill holes during 2007/2008. This drilling is exclusively orientated towards the east and has intercepted large zones of Cu-Co mineralisation: • 52 m @ 0.22 % Cu & 382 ppm Co (from 32 m) including: 23 m @ 0.3 % Cu & 626 ppm Co (from 33 m), • 40 m @ 0.21 % Cu & 309 ppm Co (from 92 m), & • 20 m @ 0.20 % Cu & 286 ppm Co (from 94 m) Of significance, are the high historical cobalt results. The best 1m samples are: - • 0.25 % Co, 0.62 % Cu • 0.19 % Co, 0.06 % Cu • 0.16 % Co, 0.29 % Cu • 0.15 % Co, 0.26 % Cu Renegade Exploration Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 14 Figure 6. Magnetics RTP showing recent nearby significant Cu discoveries. Renegade Exploration Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 15 North Isa Project Copper | Zinc | Gold The North Isa Project is located directly north of Glencore’s George Fisher Mine and approximately 40km north of Mt Isa township. Renegade met its expenditure requirement with Glencore and now owns 75% of the project. Renegade drilled approximately 1,200m of reverse circulation drilling at Lady Agnes in the prior financial year with results reported on 8 August 2022 . The campaign was designed to test under the historical Lady Agnes Copper Mine and follow up on legacy work, and confirmed broad zones of significant copper mineralisation in the sulphide zone with gold credits. The broad zones of mineralisation are interpreted as being open to the south along the Eastern Creek Volcanic (ECV) contact, at depth and to the east of the ECV contact where an IP anomaly has been discovered. Renegade Exploration Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 16 The best assays returned from drilling were: LARC22 – 001: 17m @ 0.68% Cu, 0.24g/t Au from 85m including; 8m @ 1.07% Cu, 0.36g/t Au from 87m 6m @ 0.39% Cu, 0.29g/t Au from 133m including; 2m @ 1.04% Cu, 0.90g/t Au from 137m LARC22 – 002: 30m @ 0.51% Cu, 0.06g/t Au from 118m including; 6m @ 1.22% Cu,0.14g/t Au from 123m 34m @ 0.66% Cu, 0.12g/t Au from 216m including; 6m @ 1.43% Cu, 0.24g/t Au from 237m LARC22 – 003: 44m @ 0.54% Cu, 0.12g/t Au from 164m including; 4m @ 1.28% Cu, 0.16% Au from 200m Planned future programs include soil sampling and mapping at the Tulloch Prospect with potential follow up drilling at Lady Agnes. Renegade Exploration Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 17 Aramac Project Copper | Zinc | Gold Renegade has made application for a number of permits in the Barcaldine region. The permits cover previously discovered Toolebuc formation which is the host to Vanadium deposits to the north in the Julia Creek and Richmond areas. Substantial historical work has been undertaken on the permits which contains well know sedimentary oil shale mineralisation with potential vanadium and rare earth element enrichment. During the quarter a further permit application was applied for. Upon receipt of final permit grants Renegade intends to do a major review of previous data with a view to formulating field exploration programs. Renegade Exploration Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 18 Yukon Base Metal Project Zinc On 5 October 2020, the Company announced it had entered into a Letter of Intent with Scharfe Holdings Inc (Scharfe).

On 20 July 2023, Renegade advised it had secured a 12% $700,000 Loan Facility secured against the funds owed for settlement on the Yukon Project sale. On 16 January 2023 the company advised it had exercised its earn back right with respect to the Carpentaria Joint Venture permit, EPM 8588, which allows it to operationally manage and earn back its interest in the permit. The company manages its costs in accordance with the projects it holds and the requirements these projects have for either management or exploration funds. The company is being managed by its directors, a full-time exploration manager and engages external consultants, as required, with specific experience to its projects who provide advice as to how these projects are best managed. Renegade continues to assess new opportunities presented. The board remains focused on gold, new age minerals and base metal projects. Renegade Exploration Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 20 Material Business Risks The objective of the Company is to create long-term shareholder value through the discovery, development and acquisition of technically and economically viable mineral deposits. To date, the Company has not commenced production of any minerals, nor has it identified a Mineral Resource in accordance with the JORC Code The material business risks faced by the Company that could have an effect on the Company’s future prospects, and how the Company manages these risks include: The Company’s and its joint venture exploration programs may not identify an economic deposit Despite positive exploration results on a number of projects, current and potential investors should understand that mineral exploration, development and mining are high-risk enterprises, only occasionally providing high rewards. The success of the Company also depends, among other things on successful exploration and/or acquisition of reserves, securing and maintaining title to tenements and consents, successful design, construction, commissioning and operating of mining and processing facilities, successful development and production in accordance with forecasts and successful management of the operations. Exploration and mining activities may also be hampered by force majeure circumstances, land claims and unforeseen mining problems. There is no assurance that exploration and development of the mineral interests owned by the Company, or any other projects that may be acquired in the future, will result in the discovery of mineral deposits which are capable of being exploited economically. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be profitably exploited. If such commercial viability is never attained, the Company may seek to transfer its property interests or otherwise realise value, or the Company may even be required to abandon its business and fail as a “going concern”. The Company’s exploration activities being delayed due to lack of available equipment and services The exploration activities of the Company requires the involvement of a number of third parties, including drilling contractors, assay laboratories, consultants, other contractors and suppliers. Demand for drilling equipment and exploration related services in Western Australia is currently very high and has resulted in higher exploration costs, delays in completing the Company’s exploration activities, and delays in the assessment and reporting of the results. Should there continue to be high demand for exploration equipment and related services, there may be delays in undertaking exploration activities, which may result in increased exploration costs and/or increased working capital requirements for the Company and may have a material impact on the Company’s operations and performance. The Company’s operations will require further capital The exploration and any development of the Company’s exploration properties will require substantial additional financing. Failure to obtain sufficient financing may result in delaying, or the indefinite postponement of exploration and any development of the Company’s properties or even a loss of property interest. There can be no assurance that additional capital or other types of financing will be available if needed or that, if available, the terms of such financing will be favourable to the Company. The Company may be adversely affected by fluctuations in commodity prices The price of commodities fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. Future production, if any, from the Company’s mineral properties will be dependent upon the price of commodities being adequate to make these properties economic. The Company currently does not engage in any hedging or derivative transactions to manage commodity price risk. As the Company’s operations change, this policy will be reviewed periodically going forward. Global financial conditions may adversely affect the Company’s growth and profitability Many industries, including the mineral resource industry, are impacted by these market conditions. Some of the key impacts include contraction in credit markets resulting in a widening of credit risk, devaluations and high volatility in global equity, commodity, foreign exchange and precious metal markets, and a lack of market liquidity. Due to the current nature of the Company’s activities, a slowdown in the financial markets or other economic conditions may adversely affect the Company’s growth and ability to finance its activities. Renegade Exploration Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 21 Tenement Position Mining Claims / Tenements held at 30 June 2023: Australian Projects Permit Number Permit Type Type of Interest Interest at Start of Quarter Interest at End of Quarter Carpentaria EPM8586 Exploration Licence JVA (QLD) EPM8588 Exploration Licence EPM12180 Exploration Licence EPM12561 Exploration Licence EPM12597 Exploration Licence Direct Direct Direct Direct Direct 23.03 23.03 23.03 23.03 23.03 23.03% 26.89% 23.03% 23.03% 23.03% Australian Projects Permit Number Permit Type of Interest Interest at Start of Quarter Interest at End of Quarter Queensland Permits Canadian Projects Yukon Base Metal Project EPM27508 Exploration Licence Direct EPM28680 Exploration Licence (application) Direct EPM28681 Exploration Licence Direct EPM28682 Exploration Licence (application) Direct EPM28683 Exploration Licence Direct EPM28852 Exploration Licence (application) Direct 75% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 75% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% Claim Name Claim Numbers Type of Interest Interest at Start of Quarter Interest at End of Quarter A AMB AMBfr Andrew Atlas B B Bridge Clear Dasha Data Link 1-8, 57-104 1-112, 115-116, 123-150 117-122, 151-162 1-Oct 1-Jun 53, 55, 57, 59, 61, 63, 65-74, 79- 100, 105-126 127-194 1-8, 11-16, 19-32 Jan-25 1-Jun 1-320 1-231 Myschka 1-17, 19-96 Ozzie Riddell Scott Shack Sophia TA Jan-32 Jan-80 Jan-36 1-May 1-Apr 1-332 Claim owner Claim owner Claim owner Claim owner Claim owner Claim owner Claim owner Claim owner Claim owner Claim owner Claim owner Claim owner Claim owner Claim owner Claim owner Claim owner Claim owner Claim owner Claim owner 90% 90% 90% 90% 90% 90% 100% 90% 100% 90% 100% 100% 90% 90% 100% 90% 100% 90% 100% 90% 90% 90% 90% 90% 90% 100% 90% 100% 90% 100% 100% 90% 90% 100% 90% 100% 90% 100% Renegade Exploration Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 22 Directors’ Report Renegade Exploration Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 23 The Directors present their report for Renegade Exploration Limited (“Renegade” or “the Company”) and its subsidiaries (“the Group”) for the year ended 30 June 2023. DIRECTORS The names, qualifications and experience of the Directors in office during the year and until the date of this report are as follows. Directors were in office for this entire period unless otherwise stated. Mr. Robert Kirtlan Chairman Mr Kirtlan had a background in accounting and finance prior to working for major investment banks in Sydney and New York focusing on global mining.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES During the financial year, the Group’s principal activity was mineral exploration. There have been no changes in the principal activities from prior years. During the year, the Group entered into a Joint Venture at the North Isa Project in Queensland, Australia and sold its Yandal East Project. Brief summaries of these transactions are listed below. YUKON BASE METAL PROJECT, CANADA Renegade finalised a Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA) on 30 November 2020 with Scharfe subsidiary, Actium Resources Inc (together Scharfe). Scharfe assumed operatorship of the Yukon Project on and from the Closing Date In July 2021, Renegade agreed to amend the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement with respect to the sale of the Yukon Project with Scharfe which included an immediate payment of $500,000 paid to the Company on 4 August 2021. Scharfe is responsible for maintenance of all permits in accordance with the relevant requirements. If Scharfe does not meet any of the cash consideration payments when due, the transaction may be terminated, and Renegade will be entitled to retain the Yukon Project. NORTH ISA PROJECT JOINT VENTURE The North Isa Project (NIP) transaction was signed in December 2021 and work commenced immediately on a substantial historical data base. The data included historical drilling, soil sampling and geophysical programs. Renegade Exploration Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 25 Some of this information has been reported to the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) thru releases noted below in accordance with JORC12 requirements. The transaction is a Joint Venture with Renegade spending $500,000 over four years to acquire a 75% interest with the partner to be carried thereafter to a Pre-Feasibility Study before contributing or diluting to a royalty. Renegade earned its full 75% interest and this was announced in January 20231. CARPENTARIA JOINT VENTURE (CJV) INTEREST ACQUISITION In December 2020, Renegade agreed to acquire the Joint Venture Interest that Sovereign Metals Limited holds in the Carpentaria Joint Venture Agreement (Carpentaria JVA, CJV) with Mount Isa Mines Limited (MIM), a subsidiary of Glencore plc. The CJV was initially formed in 2001, with Sovereign acquiring its interest in the joint venture in 2007. Since 2001, total expenditure on the Carpentaria JVA has been approximately $15.43m, with MIM contributing approximately $12m and Sovereign contributing $2.9m over that time. Sovereign elected to cease contributing to joint venture expenditure on the tenements, resulting in its joint venture interest reducing to the current interest of approximately 23%. Renegade has been a contributing partner to the CJV and maintains its 23%. It has increased its interest in EPM 8588 to 26.9% by way of the Earn Back clause in the CJV.

The Company does Renegade Exploration Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 28 not link the nature and amount of the emoluments of such officers to the Group’s financial or operational performance.

The Company has no policy on executives and directors entering into contracts to hedge their exposure to options or shares granted as part of their remuneration package. The rewards for Directors’ have no set or pre-determined performance conditions or key performance indicators as part of their remuneration due to the current nature of the business operations.

Corporate Information The financial report of Renegade Exploration Limited (“Renegade” or “the Company”) and its subsidiaries (“the Group”) for the year ended 30 June 2023 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 27 September 2023. Renegade Exploration Limited is a public company limited by shares incorporated and domiciled in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. It is a “for profit” entity. The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are described in the Directors’ report. 2. Going Concern The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors believe to be appropriate. The directors are confident that the Group will be able to maintain sufficient levels of working capital to continue as a going concern and continue to pay its debts as and when they fall due. For the year ended 30 June 2023, the Group incurred a loss before tax of $1,537,240 (2022: Income of $976,637) and incurred net cash outflows of $441,149 (2022: $155,681 net inflows). At 30 June 2023, the Group had net current assets of $445,573 (2022: $2,721,633). The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Group’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon it maintaining sufficient funds for its operations and commitments. The Directors continue to be focused on meeting the Group’s business objectives and is mindful of the funding requirements to meet these objectives. The Directors consider the basis of going concern to be appropriate for the following reasons: • The current cash of the Group relative to its fixed and discretionary commitments; • The contingent nature of certain of the Group’s project expenditure commitments; • The ability of the Group to terminate certain agreements without any further on-going obligation beyond what has accrued up to the date of termination; • The underlying prospects for the Group to raise funds from the capital markets and sale of its assets; • The Group has a final minimum payment of $700,000 due in November 2023 on the Yukon Sale Agreement. Subsequent to the reporting date , the Group has entered into a $700,000 non-dilutionary loan facility to provide access to funding in advance of receipt of a commensurate amount by way of the remaining deferred consideration payable in respect to the sale of the Yukon Project, which amounts are expected to be received on or before 30 November 2023; and • The fact that future exploration and evaluation expenditure are generally discretionary in nature (ie. at the discretion of the Directors having regard to an assessment of the progress of works undertaken to date and the prospects for the same). Subject to meeting certain expenditure commitments, further exploration activities may be slowed or suspended as part of the management of the Group’s working capital. The Directors are confident that the Group can continue as a going concern and as such are of the opinion that the financial report has been appropriately prepared on a going concern basis. Should the Group be unable to undertake the initiatives disclosed above, there is uncertainty which may cast doubt as to whether or not the Group will be able to continue as a going concern and whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts nor to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern. Renegade Exploration Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 40 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Preparation The financial report is a general-purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board. The financial report has also been prepared on a historical cost basis, modified where applicable by the measurement of fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets, and financial liabilities. The shares in Rafaella Resources and Strickland Metals are carried at fair value and not at historical cost. The financial report is presented in Australian dollars. (a) Compliance Statement The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards as issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. (b) New and Revised Accounting Standards Adopted by the Group The Group has considered the implications of new and amended Accounting Standards as listed below and no changes are required to the Group’s accounting policies. the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Company and effective for the annual financial statements beginning on or after 1 July 2022. As a result of this review, the Directors have determined that their application to the financial statement is either not relevant or not material. AASB 2020-3: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Annual Improvements 2018–2020 and Other Amendments The Group adopted AASB 2020-3 which makes some small amendments to a number of standards including the following: AASB 1, AASB 3, AASB 9, AASB 116, AASB 137 and AASB 141. The adoption of the amendment did not have a material impact on the financial statements. AASB 2021-7a: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Effective Date of Amendments to AASB 10 and AASB 128 and Editorial Corrections AASB 2020-7a makes various editorial corrections to a number of standards effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022. The adoption of the amendment did not have a material impact on the financial statements New and Amended Accounting Policies Not Yet Adopted by the Entity AASB 2020-1: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non- current The amendment amends AASB 101 to clarify whether a liability should be presented as current or non-current. The Group plans on adopting the amendment for the reporting period ending 30 June 2024 along with the adoption of AASB 2022-6. The amendment is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements once adopted. AASB 2022-6: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Non-current Liabilities with Covenants AASB 2022-6 amends AASB 101 to improve the information an entity provides in its financial statements about liabilities arising from loan arrangements for which the entity’s right to defer settlement of those liabilities for at least 12 months after the reporting period is subject to the entity complying with conditions specified in the loan arrangement. It also amends an example in Practice Statement 2 regarding assessing whether information about covenants is material for disclosure. The Group plans on adopting the amendment for the reporting period ending 30 June 2024. The amendment is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements once adopted. Renegade Exploration Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 41 AASB 2021-2: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosure of Accounting Policies and Definition of Accounting Estimates The amendment amends AASB 7, AASB 101, AASB 108, AASB 134 and AASB Practice Statement 2. These amendments arise from the issuance by the IASB of the following International Financial Reporting Standards: Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2) and Definition of Accounting Estimates (Amendments to IAS 8). The Group plans on adopting the amendment for the reporting period ending 30 June 2024. The impact of the initial application is not yet known. AASB 2021-5: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction The amendment amends the initial recognition exemption in AASB 112: Income Taxes such that it is not applicable to leases and decommissioning obligations – transactions for which companies recognise both an asset and liability and that give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. The Group plans on adopting the amendment for the reporting period ending 30 June 2024. The impact of the initial application is not yet known. AASB 2021-7b & c: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Effective Date of Amendments to AASB 10 and AASB 128 and Editorial Corrections AASB 2021-7b makes various editorial corrections to AASB 17 Insurance Contracts which applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023, with earlier application permitted. AASB 2021-7c defers the mandatory effective date (application date) of amendments to AASB 10 and AASB 128 that were originally made in AASB 2014-10: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture so that the amendments are required to be applied for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025 instead of 1 January 2018. The Group plans on adopting the amendments for the reporting periods ending 30 June 2024 and 30 June 2026. The impact of initial application is not yet known. AASB 2022-7: Editorial Corrections to Australian Accounting Standards and Repeal of Superseded and Redundant Standards AASB 2022-7 makes editorial corrections to the following standards: AASB 7, AASB 116, AASB 124, AASB 128, AASB 134 and AASB as well as to AASB Practice Statement 2. It also formally repeals superseded and redundant Australian Account Standards as set out in Schedules 1 and 2 to the Standard. The Group plans on adopting the amendments for the reporting period ending 30 June 2024. The amendment is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements once adopted. The amendment amends the initial recognition exemption in AASB 112: Income Taxes such that it is not applicable to leases and decommissioning obligations – transactions for which companies recognise both an asset and liability and that give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. The Group plans on adopting the amendment for the reporting period ending 30 June 2024. The impact of the initial application is not yet known (c) Basis of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate all of the assets, liabilities and results of the parent (Renegade Exploration Limited) and all of the subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities the parent controls. The parent controls an entity when it 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 over the entity. A list of the subsidiaries is provided in Note 12. The assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries are fully consolidated into the financial statements of the Group from the date on which control is obtained by the Group. The consolidation of a subsidiary is discontinued from the date that control Renegade Exploration Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 42 ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between Group entities are fully eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed and adjustments made where necessary to ensure uniformity of the accounting policies adopted by the Group Equity interests in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Group are presented as “non-controlling interests". The Group initially recognises non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests in subsidiaries and are entitled to a proportionate share of the subsidiary's net assets on liquidation at either fair value or at the non-controlling interests' proportionate share of the subsidiary's net assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, non-controlling interests are attributed their share of profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income. Non-controlling interests are shown separately within the equity section of the statement of financial position and statement of comprehensive income. Deconsolidation of Subsidiary Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. The Company controls an entity when it 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 over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. As a result of the sale of its wholly owned subsidiary, Renegade derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, any non-controlling interests and the other components of equity related to the subsidiary. Any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. (d) Income tax Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance date. Deferred income tax is provided for on all temporary differences at balance date between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss. No deferred income tax will be recognised in respect of temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries if the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the near future. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited to Profit or Loss except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity. Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the balance date and the anticipation that the Group will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law. The Renegade Exploration Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 43 carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance date and only recognised to the extent that sufficient future assessable income is expected to be obtained. Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the Profit or Loss. (e) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Bank overdrafts are shown as current liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. For the purpose of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as described above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. (f) Trade and other receivables Trade receivables, which generally have 30 - 90 day terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Individual debts that are known to be uncollectible are written off when identified. An impairment provision is recognised when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the receivable. Financial difficulties of the debtor, default payments or debts more than 60 days overdue are considered objective evidence of impairment. The amount of the impairment loss is the receivable carrying amount compared to the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. (g) Property, plant and equipment Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. 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. Repairs and maintenance expenditure is charged to Profit or Loss during the financial period in which it is incurred. Depreciation The depreciable amount of most of the fixed assets are depreciated on a diminishing balance method and some of the fixed assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives to the Group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are: Class of Fixed Asset Plant and equipment Computer Equipment Furniture and Fittings Camp Buildings Depreciation Rate 10% to 25% 45% 20% 10% The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date. Derecognition Additions of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Renegade Exploration Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 44 Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are recognised in the Profit or Loss. Impairment Carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed at each balance date to determine whether there are any objective indicators of impairment that may indicate the carrying values may be impaired. Where an asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent it is assigned to a cash generating unit and the recoverable amount test applied to the cash generating unit as a whole. Recoverable amount is determined as the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. The assessment of value in use considers the present value of future cash flows discounted using an appropriate pre-tax discount rate reflecting the current market assessments of the time value of money and risks specific to the asset. If the carrying value of the asset is determined to be in excess of its recoverable amount, the asset or cash generating unit is written down to its recoverable amount. (h) Exploration expenditure Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred by or on behalf of the Group is accumulated separately for each area of interest. Such expenditure comprises net direct costs and an appropriate portion of related overhead expenditure but does not include general overheads or administrative expenditure not having a specific nexus with a particular area of interest. Each area of interest is limited to a size related to a known or probable mineral resource capable of supporting a mining operation. Exploration and evaluation expenditure for each area of interest is carried forward as an asset provided that one of the following conditions is met: • • such costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest or, alternatively, by its sale; or exploration and 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 active and significant operations in relation to the area are continuing. Expenditure which fails to meet the conditions outlined above is written off, furthermore, the directors regularly review the carrying value of exploration and evaluation expenditure and make write downs if the values are not expected to be recoverable. Identifiable exploration assets acquired are recognised as assets at their cost of acquisition, as determined by the requirements of AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources. Exploration assets acquired are reassessed on a regular basis and these costs are carried forward provided that at least one of the conditions referred to in AASB 6 is met. Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred subsequent to acquisition in respect of an exploration asset acquired, is accounted for in accordance with the policy outlined above for exploration expenditure incurred by or on behalf of the entity. Acquired exploration assets are not written down below acquisition cost until such time as the acquisition cost is not expected to be recovered. When an area of interest is abandoned, any expenditure carried forward in respect of that area is written off. Expenditure is not carried forward in respect of any area of interest/mineral resource unless the Group’s rights of tenure to that area of interest are current. Renegade Exploration Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 45 (i) Impairment of non-financial assets The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or categories of assets and the asset's value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset unless the asset is carried at revalued amount (in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease). An assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life. (j) Assets held for sale and disposal groups Non-current assets held for sale and disposal groups are presented separately in the current section of statement of financial position when the following criteria is met: the group is committed to selling the asset or disposal group, an active plan of sale has commenced, and in the judgement of Group management it is highly probable that the sale will be completed within 12 months. Immediately before the initial classification of the assets and disposal groups as held for sale, the carrying amounts of the assets (or all the assets and liabilities in the disposal groups) are measured in accordance with the applicable accounting policy. Assets held for sale and disposal groups are subsequently measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell. Assets held for sale are no longer amortised or depreciated. (k) Trade and other payables Liabilities for trade creditors and other amounts are measured at amortised cost, which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received that are unpaid, whether or not billed to the Group. (l) Contributed equity 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. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options, or for the acquisition of a business, are included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration. Renegade Exploration Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 46 (m) Revenue Revenue is recognised and measured by the fair value of the consideration received or receivable to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue is capable of being reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: Interest income Revenue is recognised as the interest accrues (using the effective interest method), which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument) to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. (n) Grant Revenue Government grants are recognised at fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received, and all grant conditions will be met. Grants relating to expense items are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match the grant to the costs they are compensating. Grants relating to assets are credited to deferred income at fair value and are credited to income over the expected useful life of the asset on a straight-line basis. (o) Earnings per share Basic earnings per share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to equity holders of the Group, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than dividends, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus elements. Diluted earnings per share Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit or loss attributable to members of the Group, adjusted for: • • costs of servicing equity (other than dividends); the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and • other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares; divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus elements. (p) Share based payment transactions The Group provides benefits to individuals acting as, and providing services similar to employees (including Directors) of the Group in the form of share based payment transactions, whereby individuals render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (‘equity settled transactions’). There is currently an Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP) in place, which provides benefits to Directors and individuals providing services similar to those provided by an employee. The cost of these equity settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using the Black-Scholes formula taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted, as discussed in note 26. In valuing equity settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of Renegade Exploration Limited (‘market conditions’). Renegade Exploration Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 47 The cost of the equity settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (‘vesting date’). The cumulative expense recognised for equity settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the number of awards that, in the opinion of the Directors of the group, will ultimately vest. This opinion is formed based on the best available information at balance date. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of the market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. The profit or loss charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised at the beginning and end of the period. No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market condition. Where the terms of an equity settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any increase in the value of the transaction as a result of the modification, as measured at the date of the modification. Where an equity settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of the cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award, and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph. The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected in the computation of loss per share (see note 21). (q) Goods and Services Tax Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the Statement of Financial Position are shown inclusive of GST. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Tax Office is included as part of receivables or payables in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Cash flows are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which is receivable from or payable to the ATO, are disclosed as operating cash flows. (r) Investments in controlled entities All investments are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration given and including acquisition charges associated with the investment. Subsequent to the initial measurement, investments in controlled entities are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. (s) Foreign currency translation Functional and presentation currency Items included in the financial statements of each entity within the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The functional and presentation currency of Renegade Exploration Limited is Australian dollars. The functional currency of the overseas subsidiary is Canadian dollars. Renegade Exploration Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 48 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 the profit or loss. Group entities The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: • • • • assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at the date of that Statement of Financial Position; income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at date of transaction; and all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity. On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are taken to shareholders’ equity. When a foreign operation is sold the exchange differences relating to that entity are recognised in the profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale where applicable. (t) Leases Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the legal ownership, that are transferred to entities in the economic entity are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period. Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives where it is likely that the Group will obtain ownership of the asset or over the term of the lease. Leases are classified as operating leases where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor. Payments in relation to operating leases are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred. Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease term. (u) Segment reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors of Renegade Exploration Limited. (v) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Renegade Exploration Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 49 Where the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the profit or loss net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money, and where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. (w) Fair Value Hierarchy Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position are grouped into three (3) levels of a fair value hierarchy. The three (3) levels are defined based on the observability of significant inputs to the measurement, as follows: • • • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly Level 3: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability At balance date the Group does not have financial assets or financial liabilities subject to this criteria and carrying values are assumed to approximate fair values. Other than investment in share of Rafaella Resources Limited and Strickland Metals which are Tier 1 assets. (x) Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities The Group measures some of its assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis, depending on the requirements of the applicable Accounting Standard. Fair value is the price the Group would receive to sell an asset or would have to pay to transfer a liability in an orderly (i.e. unforced) transaction between independent, knowledgeable and willing market participants at the measurement date. As fair value is a market-based measure, the closest equivalent observable market pricing information is used to determine fair value. Adjustments to market values may be made having regard to the characteristics of the specific asset or liability. The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market is determined using one or more valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data. To the extent possible, market information is extracted from either the principal market for the asset or liability (i.e. the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability) or, in the absence of such a market, the most advantageous market available to the entity at the end of the reporting period (i.e. the market that maximises the receipts from the sale of the asset or minimises the payments made to transfer the liability, after taking into account transaction costs and transport costs). For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement also takes into account a market participant's ability to use the asset in its highest and best use or to sell it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data. If all significant inputs required to measure fair value are observable, the asset or liability is included in Level 2. If one or more significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the asset or liability is included in Level 3. The Group would change the categorisation within the fair value hierarchy only in the following circumstances: (i) if a market that was previously considered active (Level 1) became inactive (Level 2 or Level 3) or vice versa; or Renegade Exploration Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 50 (ii) if significant inputs that were previously unobservable (Level 3) became observable (Level 2) or vice versa. When a change in the categorisation occurs, the Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy (i.e. transfers into and out of each level of the fair value hierarchy) on the date the event or change in circumstances occurred.) (y) Financial Instruments Recognition, initial measurement and derecognition Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial instruments (except for trade receivables) are measured initially at fair value adjusted by transactions costs, except for those carried “at fair value through profit or loss”, in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss. Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine the fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted. Subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities are described below. Trade receivables are initially measured at the transaction price if the receivables do not contain a significant financing component in accordance with AASB 15. Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and all substantial risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires. Classification and subsequent measurement Financial assets Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are measured at the transaction price in accordance with AASB 15, all financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs (where applicable). For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments, are classified into the following categories upon initial recognition: • • • amortised cost; fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI); and fair value through profit or loss (FVPL). Classifications are determined by both: • • The contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets; and The entities business model for managing the financial asset. Financial assets at amortised cost Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the assets meet the following conditions (and are not designated as FVPL): • • they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets and collect its contractual cash flows; and the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Group’s cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments. Renegade Exploration Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 51 Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (Equity instruments) The Group measures debt instruments at fair value through OCI if both of the following conditions are met: • • The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding; and The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective of both holding to collect contractual cash flows and selling the financial asset. For debt instruments at fair value through OCI, interest income, foreign exchange revaluation and impairment losses or reversals are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and computed in the same manner as for financial assets measured at amortised cost. The remaining fair value changes are recognised in OCI. Upon initial recognition, the Group can elect to classify irrevocably its equity investments as equity instruments designated at fair value through OCI when they meet the definition of equity under AASB 132Financial Instruments: Presentation and are not held for trading. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading, financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss, or financial assets mandatorily required to be measured at fair value. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. Financial liabilities Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and, where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs unless the Group designated a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss. Subsequently, financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method except for derivatives and financial liabilities designated at FVPL, which are carried subsequently at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss. All interest-related charges and, if applicable, gains and losses arising on changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment The Group assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortized cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. 4. Critical accounting estimates and judgments Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. Determination of mineral resources and ore reserves Renegade Exploration Limited estimates its mineral resources and ore reserves in accordance with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves 2004 (the ‘JORC code’). The information on mineral Renegade Exploration Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 52 resources and ore reserves was prepared by or under the supervision of Competent Persons as defined in the JORC code. The amounts presented are based on the mineral resources and ore reserves determined under the JORC code. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating mineral resources and ore reserves and assumptions that are valid at the time of estimation may change significantly when new information becomes available. Changes in the forecast prices of commodities, exchange rates, production costs or recovery rates may change the economic status of reserves and may, ultimately, result in the reserves being restated. Such changes in reserves could impact on depreciation and amortisation rates, asset carrying values, deferred stripping costs and provisions for decommissioning and restoration. Capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent on a number of factors, including whether the Group decides to exploit the related lease itself or, if not, whether it successfully recovers the related exploration and evaluation asset through sale. Factors which could impact the future recoverability include the level of proved, probable and inferred mineral resources, future technological changes which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes (including changes to environmental restoration obligations) and changes to commodity prices. To the extent that capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is determined not to be recoverable in the future, this will reduce profits and net assets in the period in which this determination is made. In addition, exploration and evaluation expenditure is capitalised if activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves. To the extent that it is determined in the future that this capitalised expenditure should be written off, this will reduce profits and net assets in the period in which this determination is made. 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 the Black Scholes formula taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted, as discussed in note 26. Functional currency translation reserve Under the Accounting Standards, each entity within the Group is required to determine its functional currency, which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Management considers the Canadian subsidiary to be a foreign operation with Canadian dollars as the functional currency. In arriving at this determination, management has given priority to the currency that influences the labour, materials and other costs of exploration activities as they consider this to be a primary indicator of the functional currency. Deferred taxation Deferred tax assets are only recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses when management considers that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available to utilise those assets. Renegade Exploration Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 53 5.

Financial Instruments and Financial Risk Management Exposure to interest rate, liquidity and credit risk arises in the normal course of the Group’s business. The Group does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments. The Company uses different methods as discussed below to manage risks that arise from financial instruments. The objective is to support the delivery of the financial targets while protecting future financial security. (a) Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash facilities to meet the operating requirements of the business and investing excess funds in highly liquid short-term investments. The responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors. Alternatives for sourcing our future capital needs include our cash position and the issue of equity instruments. These alternatives are evaluated to determine the optimal mix of capital resources for our capital needs. We expect that in absence of a material adverse change in a combination of our sources of liquidity, present levels of liquidity will be adequate to meet our expected capital needs. Maturity analysis for financial liabilities Financial liabilities of the Group comprise trade and other payables. As at 30 June 2023 and 30 June 2022, all financial liabilities are contractually maturing within 60 days. (b) Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of financial instruments. Renegade Exploration Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 63 The Group’s exposure to market risk for changes to interest rate risk relates primarily to its earnings on cash and term deposits. The Group manages the risk by investing in short term deposits. Cash and cash equivalents Interest rate sensitivity 2023 $ 76,669 2022 $ 517,861 The following table demonstrates the sensitivity of the Group’s consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income to a reasonably possible change in interest rates, with all other variables constant. Change in Basis Points Effect on Post Tax Loss Effect on Equity Judgements of reasonably possible movements Increase 100 basis points Decrease 100 basis points Increase/(Decrease) including accumulated losses 2023 $ 77 (767) Increase/(Decrease) 2023 $ 77 (767) 2022 $ 5,179 (5,179) 2022 $ 5,179 (5,179) A sensitivity of 100 basis points has been used as this is considered reasonable given the current level of both short term and long term interest rates. The change in basis points is derived from a review of historical movements and management’s judgement of future trends. The analysis was performed on the same basis in 2022. (c) Credit Risk Exposures Credit risk represents the risk that the counterparty to the financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the Group to incur a financial loss. The Group’s maximum credit exposure is the carrying amounts on the Consolidated statement of financial position. The Group holds financial instruments with credit worthy third parties. At 30 June 2023, the Group held cash and bank deposits. Cash and short term deposits were held with financial institutions with a rating from Standard & Poors of A or above (long term). The Group has no past due or impaired debtors as at 30 June 2023 (2022: Nil). (d) Foreign Currency Risk Exposure As a result of operations in Canada and expenditure in Canadian dollars, the Group’s statement of financial position can be affected by movements in the CAD$/AUD$ exchange rates. The Group seeks to mitigate the effect of its foreign currency exposure by holding cash in Canadian dollars to match expenditure commitments. Renegade Exploration Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 64 (e) Fair Value The aggregate net fair values of the Consolidated Entity’s financial assets and financial liabilities both recognised and unrecognised are as follows: Carrying Amount in the Financial Statements 2023 $ Aggregate Net Fair Value 2023 $ Carrying Amount in the Financial Statements 2022 $ Aggregate Net Fair Value 2022 $ 76,669 62,268 113,000 76,669 62,268 113,000 517,861 55,242 2,215,000 517,861 55,242 2,215,000 Financial Assets Cash Assets Receivables Investment in Shares Financial Liabilities Payables 993,593 993,593 1,238,713 1,238,713 The following methods and assumptions are used to determine the net fair value of financial assets and liabilities. Cash assets and financial assets and financial liabilities are carried at amounts approximating fair value because of their short term nature to maturity. 27.

In our opinion: the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: (i) giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 30 June 2023 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and (ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation Stantons Is a member of the Russell Bedford International network of firms Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern Without modifying our audit opinion, attention is drawn to the following matter: As referred to in Note 2 to the financial statements, the financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. At 30 June 2023, the Group had cash and cash equivalents totalling $76,669. For the year ended 30 June 2023, the Group had net cash outflows from operating, investing and financing activities of $441,149 and incurred a loss before tax from continuing operations of $1,537,240. The Group’s ability to continue operations is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise funds from the capital markets and/or sale of its assets, curtailing administration and operational cashflows and/or developing the Group’s mineral assets. These events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 2, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Key Audit Matters How the matter was addressed in the audit Carrying value of the Deferred exploration and evaluation expenditure and the Assets held for sale Inter alia, our audit procedures included the following: As at 30 June 2023, Deferred exploration and evaluation expenditure totalled $2,325,096 (refer to Note 13 of the financial report) and the Assets held for sale related totalled $1,143,150 (refer to Note 5 of the financial report). i. Assessing the Group’s right to tenure over exploration assets by corroborating the ownership of the relevant licences for mineral resources to government registries and relevant third-party documentation.

Considering the requirements of accounting standard AASB 6 and the financial statements to ensure appropriate disclosures are made; and reviewing v. Considering the requirements of accounting standard AASB 5 and ensuring correct reclassification has been presented and adequate disclosures made in the financial report. Valuation of Share-based payments As disclosed in note 27 of the financial report, the Company granted performance rights to Director and employee of the Company. In addition, as disclosed in Note 16 of the financial report, shares were issued to vendors in relation to investor relation and corporate communication services. Share-based payments expense recognized for the year ended 30 June 2023 amounted to $105,542. The Company accounted for these shares and performance rights in accordance with its accounting policy and the accounting standard AASB 2 - Share- based Payment. Measurement of share-based payments was a key audit matter due to estimates used in determining the fair value of the equity instruments granted, the grant date, vesting conditions and vesting periods. In assessing the valuation of share-based payment, our audit procedures included, among others: i. Obtaining an understanding of the underlying transactions, reviewing agreements, minutes of the Board meeting and ASX announcements. ii. Verifying the terms and conditions of the share based payments including the vesting period and other key assumptions used in valuing these share based payments; iii. Assessing the accounting treatment and its application in accordance with AASB 2; and iv. Assessing the adequacy of disclosure made by the Group in the financial report. Other Information The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group's annual report for the year ended 30 June 2023 but does not include the financial report and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. As part of an audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report. We conclude on the appropriateness of the Directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. We evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. We obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with the Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in Internal control that we identify during our audit. The Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements. We also provide the Directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. Report on the Remuneration Report Opinion on the Remuneration Report We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2023. In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Renegade Exploration Limited for the year ended 30 June 2023 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Responsibilities The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
