It has been another year of significant progress for Sihayo, with key developments over the period including: F Completion of the 2022 Feasibility Study Update in February 2022, providing an updated, technically robust design for the Sihayo Starter Project while identifying near term upside opportunities F Completion of extensive high pH pre-leaching metallurgical test work program, indicating potential for significant uplift in metallurgical recoveries for the Sihayo Starter Project F Ongoing exploration drilling programs at Sihayo and Hutabargot Julu, delivering a maiden Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate at Sihorbo South in September 2022 F Further regional target generation across the 66,200 hectare Contract of Work including encouraging sampling results from Tambang Tinggi F Completion of a $9.67 million Non-Renounceable Entitlement Offer in May 2022, with proceeds used to repay existing shareholder loans, pursue the high pH pre-leaching test work as well as complete drilling programs at Sihorbo South and Sihayo Underground F Ongoing progress of permitting and financing activities for the Sihayo Starter Project, including the commencement of a strategic review process aimed at introducing a funding and development partner for the project. Sihayo’s team in Indonesia have continued to manage the challenges of the global COVID-19 pandemic exceptionally well, with activities remaining largely uninterrupted throughout the year. The continued focus on safety remains a key priority the Company. Building on the foundations the Company has established for the Sihayo Starter Project during FY2022, FY2023 is shaping up to be an important year for Sihayo. The Company will continue to focus on delivering the near-term upside opportunities of the high pH pre- leaching and near mine exploration to improve the economics of the project. Simultaneously, the Company remains committed to delivering value for shareholders through the strategic review process commenced in February 2022 which aims to deliver a pathway to funding construction of the Sihayo Starter Project or a transaction that delivers value for Sihayo’s shareholders. We expect to provide an update on this process shortly. Yours Sincerely, Colin F Moorhead Executive Chairman Sihayo Gold Limited SIHAYO GOLD LIMITED / ANNUAL REPORT 2022 / 1 / Review of Operations During the financial year ended 30 June 2022, Sihayo continued to focus its activities on the Sihayo-Pungkut 7th Generation Contract of Work (“CoW”), which it holds through its 75% interest in PT Sorikmas Mining (“PTSM”). The Company aims to maximise value for shareholders through a three-tiered approach across the CoW: 1. Bringing the Sihayo Starter Project (the “Project”) into production 2. Adding value to the Sihayo Starter Project through near mine exploration and further project optimisation 3. A structured approach to regional exploration to discover new mineral deposits within the CoW package The Company’s primary focus during the year was advancing the Sihayo Starter Project as well as exploration programs at the Hutabargot Julu prospect, located approximately 6 km south of the Sihayo Starter Project. Sihayo Starter Project Following the completion of a Definitive Feasibility Study in June 2020 (“2020 DFS”), the Company commenced a series of optimisation studies aimed at addressing any technical gaps in the study work to date and identifying upside opportunities to increase the value of the Project. The optimisation studies covered many aspects of the Project, including: F Review of the geometallurgical model and its use for mine planning F Development of a revised pit design and tactical mine schedules F Updated design of the processing plant consistent with the needs of the tactical mine schedule and geometallurgical parameters of the orebody F Updated Tailings Storage Facility (“TSF”) design compliant with international standards and suitable for submission to the Indonesian Dam Safety Committee F Development of the operational strategy for the Project F Advancing the environmental and community frameworks / 2 / SIHAYO GOLD LIMITED / ANNUAL REPORT 2022 F Developing a site-wide water balance model F Updated project layout to de-risk construction and operating activities F Re-estimation of operational and capital costs The optimisation studies resulted in a revision to the Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves for the Project, as well as an updated site layout configuration and revised capital and operating cost estimates, culminating in the 2022 Feasibility Study Update (“2022 FSU”) completed in February 2022. Full details of the 2022 FSU are contained in the SIH:ASX announcement “Project Update and Launch of Strategic Review” dated 17 February 2022. A summary of the outcomes is provided below. Geological Modelling and Mineral Resources Estimates The Mineral Resource estimate for the Sihayo and Sambung deposits was updated to reflect consolidation of the results from the 2019 infill drilling program at Sihayo and a comprehensive revision of the geology and mineralisation models for both deposits. In particular, the geological model used in the 2020 DFS was updated to reflect metallurgical domains that are now in line with the mine and processing scheduling and inform the stockpiling and blending requirements for the operation. Furthermore, the cut-off grade for the Mineral Resource estimate was revised down from 0.6 g/t Au to 0.4 g/t Au in response to economic analy- sis used for the Ore Reserve estimate, which showed 0.4 g/t Au was a suitable cut-off for economic material in the deposits. The Mineral Resource estimate for the Si- hayo and Sambung deposits is shown in Table 1. Supporting details are contained in the announcement “Project Update and Launch of Strategic Review” dated 17 February 2022.

This mine plan includes 33 koz of gold from the Inferred Mineral Resource classification. In the revised mine plan, the throughput rate has increased from an average of 1.6 Mtpa in the 2020 DFS to 1.9 Mtpa in the 2022 FSU due to an increase in mill size. This has resulted in the mine life decreasing from 8.5 years to 6.5 years. / 4 / SIHAYO GOLD LIMITED / ANNUAL REPORT 2022 Table 3: Key 2022 FSU mine plan metrics Metric Total material movement Total tonnes processed Unit Mt Mt LOM strip ratio waste:ore Average gold head grade Mine life Average annual throughput Contained gold processed g/t Au years Mtpa koz Average metallurgical recoveries % Total gold produced koz 2022 FSU 67.2 12.1 4.6x 2.00 6.5 1.9 774 71.2% 551 Figure 1 and Figure 2 show the 2022 FSU mining and gold production profiles. i ) t k ( d e n m s e n n o T 14,000 12,000 10,000 8,000 6,000 4,000 2,000 – ) t / g ( e d a r g d l o G 3.0 2.5 2.0 1.5 1.0 0.5 – 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Waste Mined Plant Feed Gold grade Year Figure 1: Mining profile underpinning the 2022 FSU ) z o k ( d e c u d o r p d l o G 120 100 80 60 40 20 – 1 2 3 4 5 6 Gold produced 7 Year Figure 2: Gold production profile for the 2022 FSU Revised Processing Plant Design The Sihayo process plant has been designed to treat the expected range of ore types to be delivered during the LOM mining schedule. The ore was characterised into seven categories based on ore type (regolith, jasperoid and clay-sulphide) and oxidation state (oxide, transitional and fresh). The processing plant underpinning the 2020 DFS was sized for a throughput rate of 1.5 Mtpa on the harder (fresh) material and up to 2.0 Mtpa on the softer (oxide) material. Given the likely blending ratio of hard and soft material, the resulting throughput in the 2020 DFS averaged 1.6 Mtpa. The Company determined that a larger mill size capable of operating at close to 2.0 Mtpa with all ore types would provide greater flexibility for operations, particularly should additional sources of mineralisation are identified. The 2022 FSU process design now incorporates a 5.7 MW semi-autogenous grinding (“SAG”) mill (a 3.8 MW SAG mill was adopted for the 2020 DFS design). Another significant change to the processing plant design was the inclusion of an additional crushing station to more effectively manage the oxide ore. A surge bin and emergency stockpile were also added to provide surge capacity ahead of the SAG mill, effec- tively decoupling the mill from the crushers. Changes were also made to the leaching and adsorption circuits, carbon treatment and tailings thickening design. Revised Infrastructure and Site Layout The site layout and infrastructure has undergone significant re-work since the 2020 DFS. This has primarily been driven by the need for increased risk mitigation for the tailings line and water security on site as well as to simplify operations and reduce operating risks. Significant changes include the relocation of the Mine Infrastructure Area (“MIA”), site offices and run-of- mine (“ROM”) pad closer to the processing plant as well as locating the mining camp closer to the mine front gate. These changes allow for a lower-risk, faster construction schedule as the facilities and infrastructure construction can commence prior to completion of the mine access road (from the mine SIHAYO GOLD LIMITED / ANNUAL REPORT 2022 / 5 / Review of Operations front gate to the Sihayo pit). It also reduces the amount of traffic on site during operations, with only mine workers (including the haulage fleet) required to travel past the MIA on the site access road. This significantly reduces traffic-related risks on site. The revised site layout can be seen in Figure 3. Figure 3: Revised site layout for the Sihayo Starter Project Updated Operating and Capital Cost Estimates Operating and capital cost estimates were updated as a result of the significant changes to the project design during the 2022 FSU.

The opportunity with the potential to most significantly increase project value is the introduction of a high pH pre-leaching phase into the processing flow sheet. Test work was conducted over an 18-month period to July 2022 to confirm the effect of a high pH pre-leach on the gold recovery of Fresh and Transition material from the Sihayo deposits. The test work conditions mimicked a 12 hour pre-leach at high pH, with 40 kg/t of caustic, followed by a conventional 24 hour cyanide leach (CIL). The dataset resulting from the test work program comprised a total of 55 individual Transition samples and 17 Fresh samples. A full list of the results is contained in the SIH: ASX announcement “Completion of High pH Leaching Test Work”, dated 5 July 2022. For Transition mineralisation, the uplift in recoveries when applying caustic pre-leaching ranged from 8% to 61%, with an average uplift of 32% (in absolute percentage points). For Fresh mineralisation, recovery uplifts ranged from 21% to 74% with the average of 45%. It has been determined that high pH pre-leaching has minimal impact on recoveries of Oxide Ore. As shown in Table 7, the introduction of high pH pre-leaching has the potential to increase overall recoveries of the Sihayo Starter Project from 71.2% to approximately 80 – 85%, based only on the mineralisation included in the 2022 FSU (which was comprised of 96% Ore Reserves and 4% Mineral Resources classified as Inferred). Applying higher recoveries to the Project can also potentially add additional mineralisation not already included in the mine plan. Moreover, the larger recovery uplifts from high pH pre-leaching appear to be aligned with higher grade material at depth. It is the Company’s view that further high-grade mineralisation exists below the current pit design which has the potential to be economic with the higher recoveries. This area is largely underexplored and is the target of the Company’s current drilling program. Permitting The Company continues its focus on obtaining the required permits and approvals to construct and operate the Sihayo Starter Project. The Company benefits from having previously received major permits for the project with current efforts aimed at updating approvals following material changes to the project during the 2020 DFS and 2022 FSU. The major permits required to commence construction at the Project are: F Approval of the Government of Indonesia Feasibility Study (“GoIFS”) F AMDAL Addendum (Environmental approval) F IPPKH Operation (Forestry Permit) F Tailings Storage Facility Construction and Placement Permits (Tailings Permits) The technical and economic approval for the GoIFS was received in April 2021. Final GoIFS approval is contingent on receipt of approval of the AMDAL Addendum, which is currently ongoing with submission is targeted during the second half of CY2022. The IPPKH Operation (Forest Borrow-to-Use permit) is expected to take a further six to nine months following approval of the AMDAL Addendum.

The CoW contains numerous (+20) early to advanced stage gold, silver and base metal prospects that were defined through reconnaissance-style exploration campaigns between 1995 and 2002. Detailed follow-up exploration conducted between 2002 and 2013 was largely focussed on the Sihayo, Sambung, Hutabargot, Dolok, Tambang Tinggi, Tambang Ubi and Tambang Hitam prospects; including the estimation of gold resources on the Sihayo and Sambung jasperoid-hosted gold deposits. This large tenement remains vastly under-explored and has secure tenure over a long-life (up to 2049 plus two additional 10-year extensions) with potential to contain major gold-silver and base metal discoveries across a broad spectrum of magmatic arc-related mineralization styles including epithermal veins, porphyry, skarn, and sediment-host deposits. Tenement-scale regional geological, geochemical, geophysical and drilling datasets have been compiled from previous exploration work and provide the basis for exploration targeting and on-going work plans in tandem with the development of the Sihayo and Sambung gold deposits. Exploration activities during the 12 months ended 30 June 2022 Figure 4: Location of Hutabargot Julu propsect in relation to the Shayo Starter Project focused largely on the Hutabargot Julu prospect, located approximately 6 km southeast of the Sihayo Starter Project, as well as a program at Sihayo-2. Most recently the Company has completed a drilling program targeting beneath pit mineralisation at the Sihayo Starter Project with assay results to be published soon. / 10 / SIHAYO GOLD LIMITED / ANNUAL REPORT 2022 SIHAYO GOLD LIMITED / ANNUAL REPORT 2022 / 11 / Review of Operations Hutabargot Julu A reconnaissance drilling program testing an extensive gold-soil anomaly in the northern half of the Hutabargot Julu prospect was completed in early 2021. This program consisted of 4,806 m of diamond coring in 25 inclined holes and produced multiple gold-silver intercepts in 21 of the 25 holes, confirming the potential for both bulk-tonnage stockwork epithermal gold-silver mineralisation and locally higher-grade gold-silver vein targets in this large prospect area. The first follow-up target following the reconnaissance drilling program was Penatapan. A 2,577 m, 11-hole drilling program was completed in November 2021 with multiple low-grade intercepts reported (refer to SIH:ASX announcements dated 8 September 2021, 25 October 2021, 23 November 2021 and 25 January 2022). Penatapan is a bulk tonnage gold-silver target defined within a 400 m by 500 m area and associated with disseminated mineralisation in quartz-carbonate stockworks-breccias. It shows potential for low-stripping ratio shallow oxide gold-silver mineralisation from multiple narrow low-to-moderate grade gold-silver intercepts returned in various parts of the prospect and is open to the north and south of the drilled area. The Company is considering a further drilling program to better define this prospect. Following completion of the program at Penatapan, a drilling program commenced in September 2021 at Sihorbo South. Sihorbo South is a volcanic-hosted intermediate-sulphidation epithermal gold-silver vein system located in the South-West corner of the Hutabargot Julu prospect. A 13-hole, 1,416 m drilling program was completed in 2013. Since resuming drilling at Sihorbo South in 2021, the Company completed a further 30 holes for 5,216 m. Results for these programs were reported in SIH:ASX announcements dated 23 November 2021, 25 January 2022, 23 March 2022 and 15 June 2022. The drilling program culminated in the release of a maiden Inferred Mineral Resource in September 2022 (refer to Table 8). Full details of the Sihorbo South Mineral Resource estimate are included in the SIH:ASX announcement “Sihorbo South Maiden Mineral Resource” dated 7 September 2022. / 12 / SIHAYO GOLD LIMITED / ANNUAL REPORT 2022 Cut-Off Grade AuEq g/t Dry tonnes (million) 0.3 0.7 0.9 6.4 2.0 1.0 Au grade g/t 0.5 0.8 1.1 Ag grade g/t 17 33 48 AuEq grade g/t 0.7 1.3 1.8 Au ounces (thousands) Ag ounces (thousands) AuEq ounces (thousands) 100 56 38 3,600 2,200 1,600 150 85 59 Table 8: Sihorbo South Prospect – Maiden Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate Notes: 1.

Additional drilling is required to upgrade the resource classification on Sihorbo South. A drilling program is being planned and may be implemented on the completion of drilling activities that are currently in progress at Sihayo. Sihayo also plans to conduct scoping study work to assess the potential to include Sihorbo South as a satellite operation for the Sihayo Starter Project. the CoW, in late 2021. Initial results from this program were released in the SIH:ASX announcement “Encouraging Surface Sample Results from Tambang Tinggi” dated 6 April 2022. The encouraging results continue to highlight strong gold and copper anomalies associated with quartz-sulphide veins and skarns located with a >4 km by 1 km area along the Tambang Tinggi project area. Regional Exploration A greenfields discovery program to assess the potential for porphyry copper and epithermal precious metal deposits in the broader CoW was initiated early in the year. Intrepid Geophysics P/L of Melbourne was engaged in 2021 to undertake reprocessing, imaging, modelling and interpretation of geophysical data acquired from previous exploration work. The first stage of this activity has been completed and provided high-quality detailed imagery that have enhanced our understanding of geological controls on the multiple mineral prospects identified in historic exploration work. The results of this work also support the substantial potential for new gold, silver and base metal discoveries on both blocks of the large CoW. Integration of these reprocessed datasets with historic exploration data is in progress with the aim of generating a pipeline of new targets for ground truthing and ranking. The Company commenced a surface sampling program at the Tambang Tinggi and Tambang Ubi prospect, located in the northeast corner of the South Block of The Company has commenced the process of applying for an IPPKH Exploration forestry permit to conduct detailed surface exploration activities, such as trenching and drilling, inside forestry designated areas located on the eastern side of the CoW South Block. The initial application covers approximately 10,000 ha of forestry that includes a large part of the Tambang Tinggi gold belt. Other Projects India – Diamond Exploration (9-10%) No progress was made during the year in resolving the legal status of the tenements. Mount Keith Gold Project – Western Australia (2% net smelter royalty) No mining was undertaken on the project during the year. Mulgabbie Gold Project – Western Australia (2% net smelter royalty) No mining was undertaken on the project during the year.

SIHAYO GOLD LIMITED / ANNUAL REPORT 2022 / 31 / Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 1. 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 29 September 2022. 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 (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. The consolidated financial report of the Group also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board. New standards and amended accounting standards and interpretation current year Several new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have recently been issued that were effective for the year ended 30 June 2022. Details of these are provided below: n AASB 2021-3: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – COVID-19 Related Rent Concessions beyond 30 June 2021 The Group has applied AASB 2021-3: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions beyond 30 June 2021 this reporting period. The amendment amends AASB 16 to extend by one year, the application of the practical expedient added to AASB 16 by AASB 2020-4: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions. The practical expedient permits lessees not to assess whether rent concessions that occur as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic and meet specified conditions are lease modifications and instead, to account for those rent concessions as if they were not lease modifications. The amendment has not had a material impact on the Group’s financial statements. New standards and amended accounting standards and interpretation current year (continued) n AASB 2020-8: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2 The Group has applied AASB 2020-8 which amends various standards to help listed entities to provide financial statement users with useful information about the effects of the interest rate benchmark reform on those entities’ financial statements. As a result of these amendments, an entity: n will not have to derecognise or adjust the carrying amount of financial statements for changes required by the reform, but will instead update the effective interest rate to reflect the change to the alternative benchmark rate; / 32 / SIHAYO GOLD LIMITED / ANNUAL REPORT 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) New standards and amended accounting standards and interpretation current year (continued) n will not have to discontinue its hedge accounting solely because it makes changes required by the reform, if the hedge meets other hedge accounting criteria; and n will be required to disclose information about new risks arising from the reform and how it manages the transition to alternative benchmark rates. The amendment has not had a material impact on the Group’s financial statements. New and amended accounting policies not yet adopted by the group n 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. The amendment is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements once adopted. n AASB 2020-3: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Annual Improvements 2018-2020 and Other Amendments. AASB 2020-3: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Annual Improvements 2018-2020 and Other Amendments is an omnibus standard that amends AASB 1, AASB 3, AASB 9, AASB 116, AASB 137 and AASB 141. The Group plans on adopting the amendment for the reporting period ending 30 June 2023. The impact of the initial application is not yet known. n 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 30 June 2024. The impact of the initial application is not yet known. n 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. The standards listed above did not have any impact on the amounts recognised in prior periods and are not expected to significantly affect the current or future periods. (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 2022, the Group incurred a loss before tax of $41,605,819 (2021: loss of $3,316,531) and has a working capital surplus of $1,119,559 (2021 surplus: $6,715,462). The Group has cash and cash equivalents of $2,441,467 (2021: $8,333,814) and current liabilities of $1,767,860 (2021: $2,244,716). SIHAYO GOLD LIMITED / ANNUAL REPORT 2022 / 33 / Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Going concern (continued) The financial report has been prepared on a 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: n n n n n 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 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. (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 20. 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 “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. / 34 / SIHAYO GOLD LIMITED / ANNUAL REPORT 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (b) Principles of consolidation (continued) 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. 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 interest. The excess of the cost of the business combination over the fair value of the Group’s share 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 discounted to their present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions. (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. SIHAYO GOLD LIMITED / ANNUAL REPORT 2022 / 35 / Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (d) Income tax (continued) 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. (e) Property, plant & equipment Each class of property, plant and equipment, other than land is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Property, 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’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying value 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. / 36 / SIHAYO GOLD LIMITED / ANNUAL REPORT 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (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. 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 classification and measurement of financial assets and introduces an ‘expected credit loss’ model for 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 Board assessed the Group’s financial assets and determined the application of AASB 9 does not result in a change in the classification of the Group’s financial 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 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. SIHAYO GOLD LIMITED / ANNUAL REPORT 2022 / 37 / Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 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: n Amortised cost; n n Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI); and Fair value through profit or loss (FVPL). Classifications are determined by both: n n 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): n 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. 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. / 38 / SIHAYO GOLD LIMITED / ANNUAL REPORT 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (h) Financial instruments (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 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. Fair value hierarchy AASB 13 requires the disclosure of fair value information by level of the fair value hierarchy, which categorises fair value measurements into one of three possible levels based on the lowest level that an input that is significant to the measurement can be categorised into as follows: Level 1 Measurements based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. Level 2 Measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 Measurements based on unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more valuation techniques. 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. SIHAYO GOLD LIMITED / ANNUAL REPORT 2022 / 39 / Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (h) Financial instruments (continued) The Group would change the categorisation within the fair value hierarchy only in the following circumstances if a market that was previously considered active (Level 1) became inactive (Level 2 or Level 3) or vice versa; or (i) (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. (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. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the statement of comprehensive income. (j) Interests in joint arrangements Joint arrangements represent the contractual sharing of control between parties in a business venture where unanimous decisions about relevant activities are required. 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. (k) Functional and presentation currency The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The subsidiaries’ functional and presentation currency are in Australian dollars, United States dollar and Singapore dollar. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency. / 40 / SIHAYO GOLD LIMITED / ANNUAL REPORT 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (l) Foreign currency transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. 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 financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the Group’s presentation currency are translated as follows: n Assets and Liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date. n Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing for the periods. Exchange rate differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the Group’s foreign currency translation reserve in the statement of financial position. 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 “Revenue with Customers” from 1 July 2018 which resulted in changes in accounting policy. The changes in policy are relatively consistent with previous policy and has therefore 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 was 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. Interest income Interest income from financial assets is recognised when it is probable that economic benefit will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. (o) Employee benefits Provision is made for the Group’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees 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. SIHAYO GOLD LIMITED / ANNUAL REPORT 2022 / 41 / Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (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 include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months. (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 transactions, whereby services are rendered in exchange for shares or rights over shares (‘equity settled transactions’). 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. 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. / 42 / SIHAYO GOLD LIMITED / ANNUAL REPORT 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (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. 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. (u) 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. (v) Leases The Group has adopted AASB 16 as 1 July 2019. At inception of a contract the Group assesses if the contract contains or is a lease. If there is a lease present, a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability are recognised by the Group where the Group is a lessee. However, all contracts that are classified as short-term leases (i.e. leases with a remaining lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low-value assets are recognised as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Initially, the lease liability is measured at the present value of the lease payments still to be paid at the commencement date. The lease payments are discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are as follows: n n n n n fixed lease payments less any lease incentives; variable lease payments that depend on index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date; the amount expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees; the exercise price of purchase options if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options; lease payments under extension options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options; and n payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the exercise of options to terminate the lease. The right-of-use assessment comprises the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date and any initial direct costs. The subsequent measurement of the right-of- use assets is at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the lease term or useful life of the underlying asset, whichever is the shortest. Where a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the costs of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group anticipates exercising a purchase option, the specific asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. The Group has disclosed in the Note 7 for right-of-use asset and lease liability.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (w) Borrowing costs Borrowing costs include interest relating to borrowings, including trade creditors and lease finance arrangements. Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred. (x) Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions Significant accounting judgements In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements: Exploration and evaluation assets The Group’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure is set out as per Note 6. The application 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 tax 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. Please refer to Note 13 for share based payments. (y) Segment reporting The Group determines and presents operating segments based on the information that internally is provided to the Executive Chairman, who is the Group’s chief operating decision maker. An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group’s other components. All operating segments’ operating results are regularly reviewed by the Executive Chairman to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance. Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors as the chief decision maker with respect to operating segments are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent to those adopted in the annual financial statements of the Group. Intersegment loans payable and receivable are initially recognised at the consideration received net of transaction costs. If intersegment loans receivable and payable are not on commercial terms, these are not adjusted to fair value on market interest rates. / 44 / SIHAYO GOLD LIMITED / ANNUAL REPORT 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 2. RISK MANAGEMENT (a) Interest rate risk The Consolidated Entity and the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk, is the risk that a financial instrument’s value will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates and the effective weighted average interest rate on classes of financial assets and liabilities. The Consolidated Entity and the Company do not have a major exposure in this area as the interest rate earned on deposited funds does not vary greatly from month to month.

RISK MANAGEMENT (b) Credit risk exposures The consolidated entity and the Company have no significant concentrations of credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk at balance date is the carrying amount (net of provision of doubtful debts) of those assets as disclosed in the consolidated statement of financial position and Note 23. As the consolidated entity and Company does not presently have any debtors arising from sales, lending, significant stock levels or any other credit risk, a formal credit risk management policy is not maintained. (c) Foreign currency risk management The Consolidated Entity and the Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies arising from costs incurred at overseas mineral exploration tenements. To mitigate this risk the Company holds cash in the currency in which it forecasts the costs will be incurred. Please refer to Note 23 for exposure to fluctuation in foreign currencies. (d) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Consolidated Entity and the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. Financial obligations of the Consolidated Entity and the Company consist of trade creditors, other payables and lease liabilities. The table below summarises the impact of a 1 percent weakening/strengthening of market interest rates and the effective weighted average interest rate at financial liabilities of borrowings lease liability: Lease liability + 1% Lease liability - 1% Consolidated 2022 $ 85 (85) 2021 $ 107 (107) (e) Commodity Price Risk At the 30 June 2022, the Group does not have any financial instruments subject to commodity price risk. 3.

PROVISION FOR MINING REHABILITATION The provision for mining rehabilitation represents a reclamation provision set up by PT Sorikmas Mining to comply with the Indonesia Government Regulation No. 78 of 2010 regarding Reclamation and Post-Mining that deals with reclamations and post-mining activities which among other requirements, must (1) prepare a five-year reclamation plan; (2) prepare a post-mining plan; 3) provide a reclamation guarantee which may be in the form of a joint account or time deposit placed at a state-owned bank, a bank guarantee, or an accounting provision; and (4) provide a post-mine guarantee in the form of a time deposit at a state-owned bank. The requirement to provide reclamation and post-mine guarantees does not release PT Sorikmas Mining from the requirement to perform reclamation and post-mine activities. On 7 May 2018, Indonesia Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources released the Minister’s Decree No. 1827K/30/MEM/2018 on the Guidance for the Implementation of Good Mining Technic Methods which further regulates the reclamation plan, consideration of future value from the postmining costs and accounting reserve determination. The addition provision during the period amounting to $191,637 equivalent to US$132,019 was capitalized to property and equipment. Management is of the opinion that the provisions as at the reporting date are sufficient to meet its obligations.
