This followed an intensive period of work that included contributions from many leading consultants. I alluded at the time that the Company believed further improvement may yet be possible. This remains the base case and our goal is to quantify this with various specific work programs now underway. Our clear objective is unchanged - to put the Sihayo-Pungkut project into development over the next twelve months. Our efforts are greatly assisted by recent increases in the gold price, which have very favourable i(cid:373)pli(cid:272)atio(cid:374)s fo(cid:396) pote(cid:374)tial p(cid:396)oje(cid:272)t p(cid:396)ofita(cid:271)ilit(cid:455), i(cid:374)(cid:448)est(cid:373)e(cid:374)t (cid:396)etu(cid:396)(cid:374)s a(cid:374)d the p(cid:396)oje(cid:272)t(cid:859)s a(cid:271)ilit(cid:455) to suppo(cid:396)t de(cid:271)t financing. Shareholders may feel frustrated by a lack of recovery in the share price of Sihayo Gold on the Australian Stock Exchange despite the significant increases in the gold price. However, the net present value of the Sihayo- Pungkut project as defined by our feasibility study is sensitive to the gold price so the key asset of the company is much more attractive at current gold prices than those prevailing at this time last year. This bodes well for future shareholder returns. I would like to welcome Mr George Lloyd to the company as CEO. I would also like to thank our employees, contractors and my fellow directors for their efforts over the past twelve months, as well as our shareholders for their ongoing support of the company. Yours Sincerely, Misha Anthony Collins 4 | P a g e REVIEW OF OPERATIONS Siha(cid:455)o Gold Li(cid:373)ited (cid:894)the (cid:862)Co(cid:373)pa(cid:374)(cid:455)(cid:863)(cid:895) o(cid:449)(cid:374)s a (cid:1011)(cid:1009)% i(cid:374)te(cid:396)est i(cid:374) PT So(cid:396)ik(cid:373)as Mi(cid:374)i(cid:374)g (cid:894)(cid:862)So(cid:396)ik(cid:373)as(cid:863)(cid:895) (cid:449)hi(cid:272)h i(cid:374) tu(cid:396)(cid:374) holds the Sihayo-Pu(cid:374)gkut (cid:1011)th Ge(cid:374)e(cid:396)atio(cid:374) Co(cid:374)t(cid:396)a(cid:272)t of Wo(cid:396)k (cid:894)(cid:862)CoW(cid:863)(cid:895).

The program includes up to 7,000 meters of infill drilling to an average depth of around 100 meters. The objective of the program is to increase the confidence in Sihayo mineral resource to inform continuing mining studies. The Sihayo deposit occurs at the top of a hill on the edge of a major dilational pull apart basin. The Sihayo deposit is situated within a sedimentary package consisting of Permian aged calcareous sediments and volcaniclastics, which are unconformably overlain by shallow basin origin Tertiary sandstones and siltstones. The Sihayo deposit gold mineralisation is categorised as Sedimentary Rock Hosted Disseminated Gold Deposit type. The Sihayo JORC Code (2012 Edition) Mineral Resource Estimate and JORC Code (2012 Edition) Ore Reserves1, were last updated in July 2018 and stand at:  23.4 Mt at 2.11 g/t for 1.585 Moz. Inferred, Indicated and Measured Resources; and  11.39 Mt at 2.1 g/t for 761,000oz Ore Reserves based on the conversion of Indicated and Measured Resources. The Mineral Resource Estimate and Ore Reserves are described in detail, including the presentation of the (cid:272)o(cid:396)(cid:396)espo(cid:374)di(cid:374)g JORC Ta(cid:271)le (cid:1005), i(cid:374) the Co(cid:373)pa(cid:374)(cid:455)(cid:859)s ASX (cid:396)elease of (cid:1006)(cid:1006) August (cid:1006)(cid:1004)(cid:1005)(cid:1012) titled (cid:862)SIHAYO GOLD PROJECT – Feasi(cid:271)ilit(cid:455) Stud(cid:455) Co(cid:373)pletio(cid:374) Additio(cid:374)al I(cid:374)fo(cid:396)(cid:373)atio(cid:374)(cid:863). The Company first commenced studies to investigate the feasibility if the Sihayo project in late 2009. Over the intervening period a number of project iterations have been explored supported by technical studies covering mining, metallurgy, process design, tailings disposal, water and environment and infrastructure. Between the 2014 and 2018 studies regional grid power supply was extended to be accessible to the project resulting in a reduction in the cost of power required for operations. The resulting 2018 feasibility studies2 defined a project with the following characteristics: life of mine plan incorporated 13Mt of ore with an average gold grade of 1.63 g/t;   an average production rate of 91,000 oz gold per annum based on a largely conventional processing;  economic analysis at the time of the study used a gold price of US$1,300/Oz;  pre-production funding of US$150.5 million including capital of US$118.3 million; and  a Net Present Value of US$107 million and an 8% cost of capital and project payback period of 4 years. Following an internal review, the Company has decided to undertaking the infill drilling and further studies to increase the certainty of a number of key assumptions underpinning the 2018 feasibility study and to investigate incremental improvements in the project design, including:   the life of mine plan assumed the conversion of inferred resources to ore reserves during the life of the operation. The current infill drilling program is targeting these areas increase the confidence in Sihayo mineral resource; the current infill drilling program will enhance the understanding of geotechnical properties of the waste material and to optimise process metallurly within specific areas of the resource; 1 Refe(cid:396) to the ASX (cid:396)elease (cid:271)(cid:455) the Co(cid:373)pa(cid:374)(cid:455) o(cid:374) (cid:1006)(cid:1006) August (cid:1006)(cid:1004)(cid:1005)(cid:1012) titled (cid:862)SIHAYO GOLD PROJECT – Feasi(cid:271)ilit(cid:455) Stud(cid:455) Co(cid:373)pletio(cid:374) Additio(cid:374)al I(cid:374)fo(cid:396)(cid:373)atio(cid:374)(cid:863) (http://www.sihayogold.com/upload/pages/news/asx-revised-dfs-ann-22-aug-2018.pdf?1569215617). 2 Refe(cid:396) to the ASX (cid:396)elease (cid:271)(cid:455) the Co(cid:373)pa(cid:374)(cid:455) o(cid:374) (cid:1006)(cid:1006) August (cid:1006)(cid:1004)(cid:1005)(cid:1012) titled (cid:862)SIHAYO GOLD PROJECT – Feasibilit(cid:455) Stud(cid:455) Co(cid:373)pletio(cid:374) Additio(cid:374)al I(cid:374)fo(cid:396)(cid:373)atio(cid:374)(cid:863) (http://www.sihayogold.com/upload/pages/news/asx-revised-dfs-ann-22-aug-2018.pdf?1569215617). 6 | P a g e REVIEW OF OPERATIONS Sihayo Gold Project (continued)   review the proposed tailings storage facility which made a material contribution to project capital and operating costs; review the sensitivity of the project to the gold price, including the recent increases in the gold price. The results of the infill drilling program and related studies are expected to be available over the fourth quarter of calendar 2019. The Company has also started to rebuild its technical studies team with geotechnical, hydrological and metallurgical field work programs planned over the later part of 2019 for completion in early 2020. The results of this work will further inform the mining, tailings, process and environmental consultants that are in the process of being engaged at the time of writing. The status of the COW is now in the third year of construction and the Company expects to commence construction within the permitted three year period, providing funding of the project is successful. The three key Indonesian Government approvals, Feasibility Study, AMDAL (Environmental) and Forestry are complete, however it is expected amendments to these will be reflecting changes resulting from the revised Feasibility Study. Regional Exploration The CoW area is deemed to be highly prospective for mineralisation. In addition to the Sihayo project, there are over twenty (20) identified prospects of carbonate-hosted gold, low to intermediate - sulphidation epithermal-vein gold, gold-copper skarn, copper-gold porphyry and lead zinc skarn style mineralisation across the CoW area. Figure 2: Sihayo Pungkut CoW key exploration prospects 7 | P a g e REVIEW OF OPERATIONS Regional Exploration (continued) The Company is committed to advancing these regional prospects and has announced an exploration program incorporating 5,000 meters of diamond drilling to an average depth of around 250 meters to test the potential for disseminated gold mineralization at the Hutabargot exploration target. Hutabargot is an epithermal style prospect located within 10km of the Sihayo project. Other prospects will be explored as financial and other resources become available. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) The Company sustains a strong focus on proactive community relations in all aspects of its operations will be an integral part of any project development activities. The Company is committed to protecting the CoW area and regional environment and to operate in accordance with Indonesian safety, health and environmental standards and practices as a minimum standard. The current drilling program has provided an opportunity to re-engage with the local communities by providing short term employment opportunities. The increased activity is also providing opportunities to local businesses supplying food and other supplies.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standards of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. The financial statements cover Sihayo Gold Limited and its controlled entities, and has authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 30 September 2019. Sihayo Gold Limited is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the group in the preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated. Basis of preparation Statement of compliance The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) and the Corporations Act 2001. The consolidated financial report of the Group also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards and interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board. New standards and interpretations not yet adopted A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations issued by the AASB which are not yet mandatorily applicable to Sihayo Group have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. Those which may be relevant to the Group are set out below. Sihayo Group does not plan to adopt these standards early. Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2019 (cid:396)epo(cid:396)ti(cid:374)g (cid:455)ea(cid:396). The g(cid:396)oup(cid:859)s assess(cid:373)e(cid:374)t of the i(cid:373)pa(cid:272)t of these (cid:374)e(cid:449) sta(cid:374)da(cid:396)ds a(cid:374)d i(cid:374)te(cid:396)p(cid:396)etatio(cid:374)s is set out below:  AASB 16: Leases applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. This Standard supersedes AASB 117 Leases, Interpretation 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, AASB intrpretation 115 Operating Leases-Incentives and AASB intrpretation 127 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of lease. AASB 16 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to account for all leases under a single on-balance sheet model similar to the accounting for finance leases under AASB 117. The key features of AASB 16 are as follows: - Lessees are required to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. - A lessee measures right-of-use assets similarly to other non-financial assets and lease liabilities similarly to other financial liabilities. 26 | P a g e NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For The Year Ended 30 June 2019 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)  AASB 16: Leases applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. (continued) The key features of AASB 16 are as follows: (continued) - Assets and Liabilities arising from the lease are initially measured on a present value basis. The measurement includes non-cancellable lease payments (including inflation-linked payments), and also includes payments to be mad in optional periods if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend to lease, or not to exercise an option to terminate the lease. - AASB 16 contains disclosure requirements for leases. Lessor accounting - AASB 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in AASB 117. Accordingly, a lessor continues to classify its leases as operating leases or finance leases, and to account for those two types of leases differently. - AASB 16 also requires enhanced disclosures to be provided by lessors that will improve i(cid:374)fo(cid:396)(cid:373)atio(cid:374) dis(cid:272)losed a(cid:271)out a lesso(cid:396)(cid:859)s (cid:396)isk e(cid:454)posu(cid:396)e, pa(cid:396)ti(cid:272)ula(cid:396)l(cid:455) to (cid:396)esidual (cid:448)alue (cid:396)isk.

Other standards not yet applicable At the date of authorisation of the financial statements, the Standards and Interpretations that were issued but not effective are listed below: Standard/amendment AASB 16 Leases AASB 17 Insurance Contracts AASB 2018-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Definition of Material AASB 2019-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – References to the Conceptual Framework Effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 1 January 2021 1 January 2020 1 January 2020 27 | P a g e NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For The Year Ended 30 June 2019 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) New and amended standards adopted by the Group The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to their operations and effective for the current reporting period. New and revised Standards and amendments thereof and Interpretations effective for the current year that are relevant to the Group include: AASB 9 Financial Instruments and related amending Standards. • • AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and relating amending Standards. • AASB 2016-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Classification and Measurements of Share-based Payment Transactions. Interpretation 22 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration. • AASB 9 Financial Instruments and related amending Standards The Standard replaces AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, bringing together all three aspects of the accounting for financial instruments: classification and measurement, impairment, and hedge accounting. AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and relating amending Standards The Standard replaces the current accounting requirements applicable to revenue with a single, principles- based model. Apart from a limited number of exceptions, including leases, the new revenue model in AASB 15 applies to all contracts with customers as well as non-monetary exchanges for goods and services. AASB 15 provides the following five-step process: - - - - - identify the contract(s) with the customer; identify the performance obligations in the contract(s); determine the transaction price; allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s); and recognise the revenue when (or as) the performance obligations are satisfied. AASB 2016-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Classification and Measurements of Share- based Payment Transactions The amendments to AASB 2 Share-based Payment addresses three main areas: - - - the effect of vesting conditions on the measurement of a cash-settled share-based payment transaction; the classification of a share-based payment transaction with net settlement features for withholding tax obligations; and accounting where a modification to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment transaction changes its classification from cash settled to equity settled. Interpretation 22 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration This i(cid:374)te(cid:396)p(cid:396)etatio(cid:374) add(cid:396)esses ho(cid:449) to dete(cid:396)(cid:373)i(cid:374)e the (cid:858)date of t(cid:396)a(cid:374)sa(cid:272)tio(cid:374)(cid:859) fo(cid:396) the pu(cid:396)pose of dete(cid:396)(cid:373)i(cid:374)i(cid:374)g the exchange rate to use on initial recognition of an asset, expense or income, when consideration for that item has been paid or received in advance in a foreign currency which resulted in the recognition of a non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability. 28 | P a g e NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For The Year Ended 30 June 2019 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) The adoption of these Amendments/Interpretation has had no significant impact on the disclosures or the a(cid:373)ou(cid:374)ts (cid:396)e(cid:272)og(cid:374)ised i(cid:374) the G(cid:396)oup(cid:859)s (cid:272)o(cid:374)solidated fi(cid:374)a(cid:374)(cid:272)ial state(cid:373)e(cid:374)ts. a) 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 2019, the Group incurred a loss before tax of $1,940,143 (2018: loss of $2,673,862) and has a working capital deficit of $4,120,396 (2018: $3,289,968). The Group has cash and cash equivalents of $6,256,548 (2018: $116,210), out of which the proposed buy back payout is $3,300,872 which is included in current liabilities of $10,738,258 (2018: $3,663,874) and also includes borrowings of $5,243,829 (2018: $1,500,000). 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 G(cid:396)oup(cid:859)s a(cid:271)ilit(cid:455) to (cid:272)o(cid:374)ti(cid:374)ue as a goi(cid:374)g (cid:272)o(cid:374)(cid:272)e(cid:396)(cid:374) is depe(cid:374)de(cid:374)t upo(cid:374) it (cid:373)ai(cid:374)taining sufficient funds for its operations and commitments. The di(cid:396)e(cid:272)to(cid:396)s (cid:272)o(cid:374)ti(cid:374)ue to (cid:271)e fo(cid:272)used o(cid:374) (cid:373)eeti(cid:374)g the G(cid:396)oup(cid:859)s (cid:271)usi(cid:374)ess 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 (cid:272)o(cid:374)ti(cid:374)ge(cid:374)t (cid:374)atu(cid:396)e of (cid:272)e(cid:396)tai(cid:374) of the G(cid:396)oup(cid:859)s p(cid:396)oje(cid:272)t e(cid:454)pe(cid:374)ditu(cid:396)e (cid:272)o(cid:373)(cid:373)it(cid:373)e(cid:374)ts; 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 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).

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) a) Going concern (continued) 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. b) Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by Sihayo Gold 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 19. 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 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 (cid:862)(cid:374)o(cid:374) (cid:272)o(cid:374)t(cid:396)olli(cid:374)g i(cid:374)te(cid:396)ests". The G(cid:396)oup i(cid:374)itiall(cid:455) (cid:396)e(cid:272)og(cid:374)ises (cid:374)o(cid:374)-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. c) Business combinations The purchase method of accounting is used to account for business combinations regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The cost of a business combination is measured as the fair value of the assets given, shares issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the acquirer measures the non- controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. 30 | P a g e NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For The Year Ended 30 June 2019 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) c) Business combinations (continued) Where equity instruments are issued in a business combination, the fair value of the instruments is their published market price as at the date of exchange unless, in rare circumstances, it can be demonstrated that the published price at the date of exchange is an unreliable indicator of fair value and that other evidence and valuation methods provide a more reliable measure of fair value. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling i(cid:374)te(cid:396)est. The e(cid:454)(cid:272)ess of the (cid:272)ost of the (cid:271)usi(cid:374)ess (cid:272)o(cid:373)(cid:271)i(cid:374)atio(cid:374) o(cid:448)e(cid:396) the fai(cid:396) (cid:448)alue of the G(cid:396)oup(cid:859)s sha(cid:396)e of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired. If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured at fair value as at the acquisition date through profit or loss. Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are dis(cid:272)ou(cid:374)ted to thei(cid:396) p(cid:396)ese(cid:374)t (cid:448)alue as at the date of e(cid:454)(cid:272)ha(cid:374)ge. The dis(cid:272)ou(cid:374)t (cid:396)ate used is the e(cid:374)tit(cid:455)(cid:859)s i(cid:374)(cid:272)(cid:396)e(cid:373)e(cid:374)tal borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions. d) Income tax The charge for current income tax expenses is based on the profit for the year adjusted for any non-assessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or are substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax assets are recognised 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 the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income tax legislation and the anticipation that the economic entity will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law. 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 in the statement of comprehensive income except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity. 31 | P a g e NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For The Year Ended 30 June 2019 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) e) Property, plant & equipment Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis less depreciation and impairment losses. The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the assets employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts Depreciation The depreciable amount of all Property, Plant and Equipment (other than Leasehold Improvements and certain plant and equipment which are based on the prime cost method) is based on the diminishing value method over their useful lives to the Company commencing from the time the assets are held ready for use. The depreciation rates used for plant and equipment vary between 2.5% and 40%. The assets(cid:859) (cid:396)esidual (cid:448)alues a(cid:374)d useful li(cid:448)es a(cid:396)e (cid:396)e(cid:448)ie(cid:449)ed, a(cid:374)d adjusted if app(cid:396)op(cid:396)iate, at ea(cid:272)h (cid:271)ala(cid:374)(cid:272)e sheet date. A(cid:374) asset(cid:859)s (cid:272)a(cid:396)(cid:396)(cid:455)i(cid:374)g a(cid:373)ou(cid:374)t is (cid:449)(cid:396)itte(cid:374) do(cid:449)(cid:374) i(cid:373)(cid:373)ediatel(cid:455) to its (cid:396)e(cid:272)o(cid:448)e(cid:396)a(cid:271)le a(cid:373)ou(cid:374)t if the asset(cid:859)s (cid:272)a(cid:396)(cid:396)(cid:455)i(cid:374)g (cid:448)alue is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the statement of comprehensive income. f) Acquistion of assets The purchase method of accounting is used for all acquisitions of assets regardless of whether shares or other assets are acquired. Cost is determined as the fair value of the assets given up, shares issued or liabilities undertaken at the date of acquisition plus costs incidental to the acquisition. Where shares are issued in an acquisition, the value of the shares is determined having reference to the fair value of the assets or net assets acquired, including goodwill or discount on acquisition where applicable. Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at the date of the acquisition. The discount rate used is the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained under comparable terms and conditions. g) Exploration and evaluation expenditure Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the areas have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves. Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made. 32 | P a g e NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For The Year Ended 30 June 2019 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) g) Exploration and evaluation expenditure (continued) When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves. A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest. h) Financial instruments AASB 9 Financial Instruments replaces AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2018, bringing together all three aspects of the accounting for financial instruments: classification and measurement, impairment, and hedge accounting. As a result of adopting AASB 9 Financial Instruments, the Group has amended its financial instruments accounting policies to align with AASB 9. AASB 9 makes major changes to the previous guidance on the (cid:272)lassifi(cid:272)atio(cid:374) a(cid:374)d (cid:373)easu(cid:396)e(cid:373)e(cid:374)t of fi(cid:374)a(cid:374)(cid:272)ial assets a(cid:374)d i(cid:374)t(cid:396)odu(cid:272)es a(cid:374) (cid:858)e(cid:454)pe(cid:272)ted (cid:272)(cid:396)edit loss(cid:859) (cid:373)odel fo(cid:396) impairment of financial assets. There were no financial instruments which the Group designated at fair value through profit or loss under AASB 139 that were subject to reclassification. The Boa(cid:396)d assessed the G(cid:396)oup(cid:859)s financial assets and determined the applicatio(cid:374) of AASB (cid:1013) does (cid:374)ot (cid:396)esult i(cid:374) a (cid:272)ha(cid:374)ge i(cid:374) the (cid:272)lassifi(cid:272)atio(cid:374) of the G(cid:396)oup(cid:859)s fi(cid:374)a(cid:374)(cid:272)ial instruments. The adoption of AASB 9 does not have a significant impact on the financial report. 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 fo(cid:396) those (cid:272)a(cid:396)(cid:396)ied (cid:862)at fai(cid:396) (cid:448)alue th(cid:396)ough p(cid:396)ofit o(cid:396) loss(cid:863), i(cid:374) (cid:449)hi(cid:272)h (cid:272)ase t(cid:396)a(cid:374)sa(cid:272)tio(cid:374) (cid:272)osts a(cid:396)e e(cid:454)pe(cid:374)sed to p(cid:396)ofit o(cid:396) loss. Whe(cid:396)e a(cid:448)aila(cid:271)le, (cid:395)uoted p(cid:396)i(cid:272)es i(cid:374) a(cid:374) a(cid:272)ti(cid:448)e 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. 33 | P a g e NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For The Year Ended 30 June 2019 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) h) Financial instruments (continued) 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 o(cid:373)itted (cid:449)he(cid:396)e the effe(cid:272)t of dis(cid:272)ou(cid:374)ti(cid:374)g is i(cid:373)(cid:373)ate(cid:396)ial. The G(cid:396)oup(cid:859)s (cid:272)ash a(cid:374)d (cid:272)ash e(cid:395)ui(cid:448)ale(cid:374)ts, t(cid:396)ade a(cid:374)d most other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments. 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 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation and are not held for trading. 34 | P a g e NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For The Year Ended 30 June 2019 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) h) Financial instruments (continued) Classification and subsequent measurement (continued) Financial assets (continued) 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 amortised 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 From 1 July 2018, the Group assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortised cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivables, the Group (or Company) applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. Comparative information The Group has applied AASB 9 Financial Instruments retrospectively, but has elected not to restate comparative information. As a result, the comparative information provided continues to be accounted for in a(cid:272)(cid:272)o(cid:396)da(cid:374)(cid:272)e (cid:449)ith the G(cid:396)oup(cid:859)s previous accounting policy. 35 | P a g e NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For The Year Ended 30 June 2019 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) h) Financial instruments (continued) Classification and subsequent measurement (continued) Comparative information (continued) Classification Until 30 June 2019, the group classified its financial assets in the following categories: Loans and receivables;  Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss;   Held-to-maturity investments; and  Available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depended on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Management determined the classification of its investments at initial recognition and, in the case of assets classified as held-to-maturity, re-evaluated this designation at the end of each reporting period. i) Impairment of assets At each reporting date, the group reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired.

Separate joint venture entities providing joint venturers with an interest to net assets are classified as a "joint venture" and accounted for using the equity method. Joint venture operations represent arrangements whereby joint operators maintain direct interests in each asset and exposure to each liability of the arrangement. The Group's interests in the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of joint operations are included in the respective line items of the consolidated financial statements. Gains and losses resulting from sales to a joint operation are recognised to the extent of the other parties' interests. When the Group makes purchases from a joint operation, it does not recognise its share of the gains and losses from the joint arrangement until it resells those goods/assets to a third party. 36 | P a g e NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For The Year Ended 30 June 2019 1.

Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical costs continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined. Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cashflow or net investment hedge. Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in equity, otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. m) Group companies The fi(cid:374)a(cid:374)(cid:272)ial (cid:396)esults a(cid:374)d positio(cid:374) of fo(cid:396)eig(cid:374) ope(cid:396)atio(cid:374)s (cid:449)hose fu(cid:374)(cid:272)tio(cid:374)al (cid:272)u(cid:396)(cid:396)e(cid:374)(cid:272)(cid:455) is diffe(cid:396)e(cid:374)t f(cid:396)o(cid:373) the g(cid:396)oup(cid:859)s presentation currency are translated as follows:  Assets and Liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date.  Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period.

These differences are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which the operation is disposed. n) Revenue AASB 15 replaces AASB 118 Revenue, AASB 111 Construction Contracts and several revenue-related Interpretations. AASB 15 establishes a five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers and requires that revenue to be recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The Company has applied AASB 15 (cid:862)Re(cid:448)e(cid:374)ue (cid:449)ith Customers(cid:863) from 1 July 2018 which resulted in changes in accounting policy. The changes in policy is relatively consistent with previous policy and has therefore policy not had a material impact. The Company has applied the modified retrospective application approach in which only the initial period of application applies AASB 15. No adjustment were made as a result of adopting AASB 15. The adoption of AASB 15 does not have a significant impact on the Group as the Group does not currently have any revenue from customers. 37 | P a g e NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For The Year Ended 30 June 2019 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) o) Employee benefits P(cid:396)o(cid:448)isio(cid:374) is (cid:373)ade fo(cid:396) the g(cid:396)oup(cid:859)s lia(cid:271)ilit(cid:455) fo(cid:396) e(cid:373)plo(cid:455)ee (cid:271)e(cid:374)efits a(cid:396)isi(cid:374)g f(cid:396)o(cid:373) se(cid:396)(cid:448)i(cid:272)es (cid:396)e(cid:374)de(cid:396)ed (cid:271)(cid:455) e(cid:373)plo(cid:455)ees to balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. p) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of a past event, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured. q) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short term borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position. r) Goods and Services Tax (GST) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation 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. Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows. s) Share based payment transactions The group provides benefits to the directors and senior executives in the form of share-based payment t(cid:396)a(cid:374)sa(cid:272)tio(cid:374)s, (cid:449)he(cid:396)e(cid:271)(cid:455) se(cid:396)(cid:448)i(cid:272)es a(cid:396)e (cid:396)e(cid:374)de(cid:396)ed i(cid:374) e(cid:454)(cid:272)ha(cid:374)ge fo(cid:396) sha(cid:396)es o(cid:396) (cid:396)ights o(cid:448)e(cid:396) sha(cid:396)es (cid:894)(cid:858)e(cid:395)uit(cid:455) settled t(cid:396)a(cid:374)sa(cid:272)tio(cid:374)s(cid:859)(cid:895). The cost of these equity settled transactions with directors is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an external valuer using the Black- Scholes model. In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of Sihayo Gold Limited. 38 | P a g e NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For The Year Ended 30 June 2019 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) s) Share based payment transactions (continued) The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the market conditions are fulfilled. 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 will ultimately vest. The opinion is formed on the best available information at balance date. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon 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 modification. Where an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. 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 as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share. t) Trade and other receivables CURRENT All trade debtors are recognised at the amounts receivable as they are due for settlement no more than 30 days from the date of recognition. Collectability of trade debtors is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. A provision for doubtful debts is raised when some doubt as to collection exists and in any event when the debt is more than 60 days overdue. u) Trade and other receivables NON-CURRENT All debtors that are not expected to be received within 12 months of reporting date are included in non- current receivables. Collectability of non-current receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. A provision for doubtful debts is raised when some doubt as to collection exists. v) Trade and other creditors These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated entity prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. 39 | P a g e NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For The Year Ended 30 June 2019 1.

The appli(cid:272)atio(cid:374) of this policy necessarily requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions as to future events and circumstances, in particular, the assessment of whether economic quantities of reserves are found. Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. Significant accounting estimates and assumptions The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are: Recovery of deferred assets Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences when management considers that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available to utilise those temporary differences. 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 Group measures the cost of cash-settled share-based payments at fair value at the grant date using the Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. y) Segment reporting The Group determines and presents operating segments based on the information that internally is provided to the Ma(cid:374)agi(cid:374)g Di(cid:396)e(cid:272)to(cid:396), (cid:449)ho is the G(cid:396)oup(cid:859)s (cid:272)hief ope(cid:396)ati(cid:374)g de(cid:272)isio(cid:374) (cid:373)ake(cid:396).

On behalf of the Board Misha Anthony Collins Chairman 30 September 2019 61 | P a g e Stantons International Audit and Consulting Pty Ltd trading as Chartered Accountants and Consultants PO Box 1908 West Perth WA 6872 Australia Level 2, 1 Walker Avenue West Perth WA 6005 Australia Tel: +61 8 9481 3188 Fax: +61 8 9321 1204 ABN: 84 144 581 519 www.stantons.com.au INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SIHAYO GOLD LIMITED Report on the Audit of the Financial Report Opinion We have audited the financial report of Sihayo Gold Limited, the Company and its subsidiaries, (“the Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019, the consolidated statement of Profit or Loss and comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors' declaration. 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 2019 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 believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Material Uncertainty Relating to Going Concern Attention is drawn to the following matter. As referred to in Note 1(a) to the financial statements, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. At 30 June 2019, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of $6,256,548, net working capital deficiency of $4,120,396 and incurred a loss after income tax of $1,940,143. The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern and meet its planned exploration, administration and other commitments is dependent upon the Group raising further working capital and/or successfully exploiting its mineral assets. In the event that the Group is not successful in raising further equity or successfully exploiting its mineral assets, the Group may not be able to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due and the realisable value of the Group’s current and non-current assets may be significantly less than book values. Key Audit Matters In addition to the matter described in the material uncertainty related to going concern, we have determined the matter described below to be a key audit matter to be communicated in the report. Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation Key Audit Matters How the matter was addressed in the audit Carrying Value of Mineral Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure As at 30 June 2019, Mineral Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure totals $15,828,431 (refer to Note 6 of the financial report). The carrying value of Mineral Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure is a key audit matter due to: The significance of the total balance (61% of total assets); Inter alia, our audit procedures following: included the i. Reviewing the directors’ assessment of the carrying value of the exploration and evaluation the veracity of costs, ensuring the data presented and that management have considered the effect of potential impairment indicators, commodity prices and the stage of the Group’s projects against AASB 6; to assess management’s The necessity the requirements of the application of accounting standard Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources (“AASB 6”), in light of any indicators of impairment that may be present; and ii. Evaluation of Group documents for consistency with the intentions for continuing exploration and evaluation activities particularly in relation to the Sihayo Gold Project and corroborated with interviews with management. The documents we evaluated included: The assessment of significant judgements made by management in relation to the capitalised evaluation expenditure. exploration and  Minutes of the board and management;  Announcements made by the Group to the Australian Securities Exchange; and  Reassessed the discount rate, current commodity prices in global markets, applied to the the pre-existing NPV model of Sihayo Gold Project and compared with the updated DFS announced on the ASX; iii. Consideration of of the accounting standard AASB 6 and reviewed the financial statements to ensure appropriate disclosures are made. requirements    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 2019, 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. From the matters communicated with the Directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial report of the current period and are therefore key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. Report on the Remuneration Report Opinion on the Remuneration Report We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 15 to 19 of the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2019. In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Sihayo Gold Limited for the year ended 30 June 2019 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. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
