In the Company’s most aggressive drilling campaign since listing on the ASX, Saturn completed over 90,000 metres of drilling during the year. At Apollo Hill, almost 80,000 metres of reverse circulation (RC) drilling was carried out, generating many high value intercepts, including some of the best results achieved at the project to date. In the first half of the year drilling focused on resource definition, leading to the release of an updated Mineral Resource estimate in January 2021. The Inferred and Indicated Mineral Resource at Apollo Hill now totals almost one million ounces of contained gold. Importantly, the proportion of the Mineral Resource classified at the higher confidence Indicated level has grown to 59%. It is also significant to note that for the first time, the reported Mineral Resource has been constrained by a preliminary open pit shell. This will lead to a high resource to reserve conversion, subject of course to the satisfactory completion of mining studies. However there are many strongly mineralised drill intercepts which have been excluded from the current resource and these are considered to present clear opportunity for future resource growth. In the second half of the year, RC drilling targeted lateral extensions to the Apollo Hill deposit. This program was particularly successful to the south where drilling now indicates that mineralisation continues from the Ra zone at the southern end of the main deposit through to the previously isolated Tefnut zone and beyond, a total strike length of three kilometres and growing. Potential to extend Apollo Hill to the north also appears strong and this area has become the focus of recent drilling. In 2021 the Company stepped up evaluation of the broader Apollo Hill project area with more than 12,000 metres of air-core drilling completed at several regional prospects. This work is at an early stage but has already delivered some encouraging results and remains ongoing. With a well-defined resource of significant scale established, the Company has begun to place greater emphasis on shaping the pathway to gold production at Apollo Hill. An important element of this work will be identifying the optimal processing route for Apollo Hill ore. A major metallurgical test work program is underway utilising 27 tonnes of composite drill samples which will provide key data to support evaluation of potential treatment options. Work completed to date has shown that high gold recoveries are readily achievable. However the Company is seeking to prioritise value by targeting a production route that will deliver the optimal balance between gold recovery, resource utilisation, operating margins and capital intensity. Another significant undertaking in 2021 was the drilling of two large scale trial grade control grids within the Apollo Hill resource. This exercise provided solid confirmation of resource continuity and generated valuable data on gold grade distribution. Results of the metallurgical program, trial grade control drilling and of course resource definition drilling, will be important inputs for the next update of the Apollo Hill Mineral Resource estimate, which the Company expects to complete and release in the March 2022 quarter. During the year Saturn established a presence at West Wyalong and in June 2021 commenced the first modern drilling program at this historically prolific high-grade goldfield. This achievement was not insignificant given the constraints COVID 19 placed on travelling and working within New South Wales. SATURN METALS LIMITED – ANNUAL REPORT 2021 2 CHAIRMAN’S LETTER (Cont.) We are at an early stage in developing our knowledge and understanding of this exciting project, and near-term West Wyalong will continue to represent a small component of the Company’s work effort as focus remains on progressing Apollo Hill towards development. To sustain the high level of field activity and progress pre-development studies, Saturn raised additional capital of $12.6 million (net of costs) through a placement of shares to institutional and sophisticated investors. At year end the Company retained a healthy cash balance of $8.2 million. In May 2021 we welcomed Adrian Goldstone to the Board as a Non-executive Director. Adrian has extensive and diverse international minerals industry experience with a strong focus on environmental and social sustainability and corporate governance. His appointment broadens the skillset of the Saturn Board better equipping the Company to transition through development and into production. In closing I would like to acknowledge the steadfast efforts of our Managing Director, Ian Bamborough, and his team who have worked exceptionally hard under challenging conditions to significantly advance the Company’s projects. I also wish to thank Saturn’s shareholders for their continued support of the Company through this exciting period in its development. Yours sincerely, Brett Lambert Chairman 3 SATURN METALS LIMITED – ANNUAL REPORT 2021 REVIEW OF OPERATIONS Company Profile Saturn Metals Limited (“Saturn”) was incorporated on 2 June 2017 for the purposes of gold exploration and development. Saturn listed on the Australian Securities Exchange on 9 March 2018. Saturn’s primary objective is to focus on mineral exploration and resource opportunities that have the potential to deliver growth for shareholders. Saturn’s vision is to create superior value for its shareholders by discovering, developing and monetising world-class gold deposits. Saturn’s management strategy is to:    continue a successful exploration program in respect to the Apollo Hill camp towards rapidly growing the Resource base; conduct further exploration activities across the Apollo Hill strategic land package towards identifying and growing new higher-grade gold lode/vein exploration targets; and continue a cost-effective exploration program in respect to its other Australian opportunities and ventures. In addition, Saturn looks to expand its current project portfolio by seeking opportunities to:   apply for additional tenements to complement the Project; or acquire, either by way of an asset or share purchase, complementary projects. As at 30 June 2021:  Shares on Issue: 112,464,510  Share Price: $0.41  Market Capitalisation: $46M  Cash: $8.16M  0.944Moz 2021 Mineral Resource1 Drilling at Apollo Hill 1 This document contains exploration results and historic exploration results as originally reported in fuller context in Saturn Metals Limited ASX Announcements - as published on the Company's website. Saturn Metals Limited confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information on results noted. 1 Details of the Mineral Resource breakdown by category are presented in Table 1a* (on page 59 of this document) along with the associated Competent Persons statement (page 60) and details of the original ASX report that this information was originally published in. SATURN METALS LIMITED – ANNUAL REPORT 2021 4 REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (Cont.) Growth at Apollo Hill Our flagship Apollo Hill Project which covers approximately 1000km2 of contiguous exploration and mining tenements is situated in the heart of the world-class Eastern Goldfields 650km NE of Perth, Western Australia.The Project is located approximately 60km by road from the gold mining and processing town of Leonora and sits in a central strategic position to established gold mining infrastructure (Figure 1). Figure 1 – Saturn’s Apollo Hill Gold Project – Regional setting, Infrastructure and Landscape. At the heart of our ground package, is the Company’s Apollo Hill deposit which occurs in a mineralised structure associated with the 5km long and 500m wide Apollo-Ra Shear Zone. This shear zone is a parallel component of the district prevalent, gold fertile, and highly prospective Keith-Kilkenny Fault system in the gold prolific Norseman-Wiluna Greenstone Belt (Figure 1). The Apollo Hill deposit, which bears all the hallmarks of a major mineralised Archean lode gold system is characterised by simple metallurgy (free milling coarse gold with low cyanidation characteristics) and thick zones of mineralisation encompassed in a single, large deposit, with the potential for a low stripping ratio, efficient bulk mining process and a cost-effective gravity gold focused circuit. 5 SATURN METALS LIMITED – ANNUAL REPORT 2021 REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (Cont.) Work carried out at Apollo Hill during the first half of the financial year focused on drilling to produce a successful resource upgrade which was published in January 2021. This resource upgrade delivered:    An additional 163koz since the previous resource estimation to an Inferred & Indicated Mineral Resource of 35.9Mt at 0.8g/t Au for 944,000 ounces of gold reported above a cut- off of 0.4g/t Au; Provided the conversion of 59% of the deposit to the higher confidence Indicated Mineral Resource category; and The quality of the Mineral Resource was lifted by publishing for the first time, within an optimised open pit shell1 (Figure 2). Figure 2 – 3D Representation of the January 2021 Apollo Hill Mineral Resource model and selected pit shell; view looking NW highlights width and robust nature of mineralisation. SATURN METALS LIMITED – ANNUAL REPORT 2021 6 REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (Cont.) Leverage, Quality, Growth and Differentiation Following on from our successful first half year drilling campaign, and Mineral Resource estimation process, the Company focused on further enhancing the Apollo Hill Gold Deposit by employing several distinct tactics. These included:     Targeting higher grade shoots with drilling in leverage positions under the open pit shell; A grade control style drill program to test for further enhancement in the continuity of mineralised zones; An extensional drill program focused at the southern end of the deposit on the Ra Tefnut corridor; and The commencement of a major metallurgical program to further differentiate Apollo Hill’s simple mineral processing opportunities. During the year Saturn progressed exploration with its most aggressive drilling campaign since the Company’s inception. At Apollo Hill, the company completed: • • 463 Reverse Circulation (RC) Drill Holes for 79,477m of drilling; And collected 27 tonnes of composite sample for metallurgical testing program.

A generalised cross section of the drill areas ‘before’ the drill program (data set as used for the latest resource upgrade in early January 2021 – drill results up to 13 November 2020), and ‘after’ the recent drill program is shown in Figure 4. The ‘after’ picture highlights a visible improvement in mineralisation continuity. In addition, the ratio of mineralised material to non-mineralised material has visually improved in the ‘after’ image. Based on this, Saturn believes there is clear potential to improve the stripping ratio in future Whittle pit optimisations compared to the January 2021 Resource pit shell.

SATURN METALS LIMITED – ANNUAL REPORT 2021 12 REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (Cont.) West Wyalong Farm-In Gold Joint Venture Late in June 2021, Saturn commenced its maiden diamond drill program at its West Wyalong Gold Project in New South Wales. The initial focus of exploration is the 2km long high-grade Mallee Bull Reef within the long forgotten West Wyalong Goldfield. No underground development or modern exploration is known to have occurred on the Mallee Bull Reef line since 1915 when a decline in production was synchronous with the onset of World War One. Saturn’s program is the first modern test of this excellent opportunity. By the financial year end the Company had completed half of the first hole of a 2,200m, four hole planned diamond drilling program designed to target high grade plunge extensions from where historic face samples of over 155 g/t Au (5oz per tonne) and multiple lodes are noted (Figure 7). Figure 7 – 3D Representation of planned and completed drill holes relative to old workings, key mineralisation plunges and very high-grade historic face sample data diagram adapted from references as fully outlined in Saturn ASX Announcement dated 21 June 2021. Corporate Well Funded for Progress During the year the Company undertook a capital raise to ensure funding capacity to continue progressing its Apollo Hill Gold Project and exploration at its regional prospective tenure. The raising was completed through a brokered placement and non-brokered direct placement to both institutional and sophisticated investors. The raising was as follows:  22 September 2020, the Company raised $12,582,664 (net of costs) by issuing 24,511,830 shares at 67 cents per share. At the year ended 30 June 2021, the Company has 112,614,510 shares on issue, and retained a healthy cash balance of $8,155,144. 13 SATURN METALS LIMITED – ANNUAL REPORT 2021 DIRECTOR’S REPORT The Directors present their report together with the consolidated financial statements of the Group comprising of Saturn Metals Limited (“Saturn” the “Group” or the “Company”) and its subsidiary for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 and the auditor’s report thereon.

The framework aligns executive reward with achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value for shareholders. The Board believes that executive remuneration satisfies the following key criteria: competitiveness and reasonableness   acceptability to shareholders  performance linkage / alignment of executive compensation   transparency capital management These criteria result in a framework which can be used to provide a mix of fixed and variable remuneration, and a blend of short and long-term incentives in line with the Group’s remuneration policy. Board and senior management The remuneration of the Managing Director will be decided by the Board, without the affected Executive Director participating in that decision-making process. The total maximum remuneration of Non-Executive Directors was initially set by the Constitution and subsequent variation is by ordinary resolution of Shareholders in general meeting in accordance with the Constitution, the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, as applicable. The current amount has been set at an amount not to exceed $300,000 per annum. The determination of Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration within that maximum is made by the Board having regard to the inputs and value to the Group of the respective contributions by each Non-Executive Director. In addition, a Director may be paid fees or other amounts (i.e. subject to any necessary Shareholder approval, non-cash remuneration such as Options) as the Directors determine where a Director performs special duties or otherwise performs services outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a Director. Directors are also entitled to be paid reasonable travelling, hotel and other expenses incurred by them respectively incurred in the performance of their duties as Directors. The Board reviews and approves the remuneration policy to enable the Group to attract and retain executives and Directors who will create value for Shareholders having consideration to the amount considered to be commensurate for a company of its size and level of activity as well as the relevant Directors’ time, commitment, and responsibility. The Board is also responsible for reviewing any employee incentive and equity-based plans including the appropriateness of performance hurdles and total payments proposed. Senior management are paid based on applicable market rates.

SATURN METALS LIMITED – ANNUAL REPORT 2021 32 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Significant Changes During the Year During the year Saturn has entered into two lease arrangements, the details of which are set out in Note 9. The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial report are set out in the notes below, including Note 26. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial report includes the consolidated financial statements for the Group at the end of, or during the financial year ended 30 June 2021 and the comparative period. 2. Subsidiary companies The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of the following subsidiary in accordance with the accounting policy described in Note 26(b): Name Titan Metals Pty Ltd 3. Interests in other entities Country of Incorporation Australia Class of Shares Ordinary 2021 % 100.00 2020 % 100.00 Equity holding In April 2020 Saturn entered into a unincorporated joint venture arrangement, through its wholly owned subsidiary Titan Metals Pty Ltd, with Mr Peter Goldner and Dr Angus Collins. Saturn can earn up to 85% in the project through four farm-in stages by spending a total of $1.9 million on exploration over approximately 4 years and by making a total of $195,000 in staged progress payments (cash and or shares). Saturn must keep the tenements in good standing. On Saturn earning 85% a Incorporated Joint Venture will be formed and the Joint Venture Partners have the option to contribute or dilute (subject to the pre-negotiated dilution formula in line with previous earn in stages) to a combined 1.5% royalty. On the Joint venture Partners reverting to a royalty position Saturn must make an additional $50,000 progress payment. Saturn earns a transferrable interest in the tenement during the first three stages but does not maintain full commercial rights until having earned 60% by spending $900,000 on exploration. As at the time of this report and due to the early stage of the arrangement, Titan Metals Pty Ltd has not yet earnt an interest in the tenements under the agreement. The agreement does not constitute a Joint Arrangement under the Australian Accounting Standards. 4. Segment information Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief decision maker has been identified as the Board of Directors. Management has determined that Saturn only has one segment, being exploration for precious metals at its tenement package, south of Leonora, Western Australia. Whilst the Company’s 100% owned subsidiary, Titan Metals Pty Ltd, has recently entered into a farm-in arrangement for the exploration of precious metals at West Wyalong, NSW, at this early stage of the arrangement Management does not feel the transactions are material enough to qualify as an additional segment. 33 SATURN METALS LIMITED – ANNUAL REPORT 2021 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont.) 5. Cash & Cash Equivalents For statement of cash flows preparation purposes, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand and short-term deposits held at call (other than deposits used as cash backing for performance bonds) with financial institutions. Any bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in the current liabilities on the consolidated statement of financial position. Cash at bank and in hand Refer to Note 18 for the policy on financial risk management. 6. Trade and other receivables 2021 $ 2020 $ 8,155,144 8,155,144 5,131,938 5,131,938 Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. They are generally due for settlement within 30 days and therefore are all classified as current. Trade receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional unless they contain significant financing components, when they are recognised at fair value. The group holds the trade receivables with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables. In determining the recoverability of a trade or other receivable using the expected credit loss model, the Group performs a risk analysis considering the type and age of the outstanding receivables, the creditworthiness of the counterparty, contract provisions, letter of credit and timing of payment. The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments. No material provision for credit losses was required to be recognised in the current period ending 30 June 2021. Receivables (Current) GST recoverable from taxation authority Deposits paid Other receivables Refer to Note 18 for the policy on financial risk management.

Other Current Assets Prepaid insurance Other prepayments 8. Property, Plant & Equipment Plant and equipment 2021 $ 25,103 51,246 76,349 2020 $ 18,543 - 18,543 All assets acquired, including plant and equipment are initially recorded at their cost of acquisition, being the fair value of the consideration provided plus incidental costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Plant and equipment include right-of use assets depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis as set out in Note 9. Depreciation on general plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts over their estimated useful lives from the time the asset is held ready for use as follows: 3-10 years - Plant 3-8 years - Vehicles 3-5 years - Office equipment - Computer software 3-5 years The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is impaired. An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised. Impairment of assets At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the Group makes a formal estimate of recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. It is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset’s value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value less costs of disposal and it does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash- generating unit to which the asset belongs. No impairment losses have been recognised for the year ending 30 June 2021 (2020: $nil).

Leases AASB 16 Leases eliminates the classifications of operating leases and finance leases for lessees. Except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, rights-of-use assets, capitalised in Property, Plant & Equipment (Note 8) and corresponding lease liabilities are recognised in the statement of financial position. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis, while the lease liability is reduced by an allocation of each lease payment. Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. (a) Amounts recognised in the statement of financial position: Right-of-use assets: Furniture & Equipment Office space Equipment Lease liabilities: Current Non-current Additions to the right-of-use assets during the year was $218,756.

Saturn leases office premises in West Perth, Western Australia under normal commercial lease arrangements. The office lease was entered into for an initial 3-year and 1-month period commencing 18 February 2021. 10. Exploration and evaluation assets All exploration and evaluation expenditure is capitalised under AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources. Mineral interest acquisition costs and exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated and capitalised in relation to each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that the Group’s right to tenure to that area of interest are current and either the costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest (alternatively by sale) or where areas of interest have not at reporting date reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active, and significant operations are undertaken in relation to the area of interest. Amortisation is not charged on costs carried forward in respect of areas of interest in the exploration and evaluation phase or development phase until production commences. Grants (R&D Tax Incentive grant income /Co Operative Drill Funding) The Group accounts for funds received from the ATO under the Research and Development (“R&D”) Tax Incentive Scheme as an offset to the Exploration and Evaluation asset, where the initial expenses to which it relates were capitalised. No R&D incentives were received during 2021 (2020: $17,233). During 2020, the Group also received a refund through the Co-Operative Drill Funding scheme through the Western Australian Government. No equivalent grant refund was received in 2021 (2020 $3,827). These funds are also offset to the Exploration and Evaluation asset, where the initial expenses to which it relates were capitalised.

Trade and other payables These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually payable within 30 days of invoice. The carrying amounts of trade and other payables are considered the same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature.

Contributed Equity Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options for the acquisition of a business are not included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration. If the entity acquires its own equity instruments, e.g. as the result of a share buy-back, those instruments are deducted from equity and the associated shares are cancelled. No gain or loss is recognised in the profit or loss and the consideration paid including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) are recognised directly in equity.

(d) Options & performance rights Information relating to options and performance rights issued during the year is set out in Note 22. (e) Capital risk management In employing its capital, the Group seeks to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern and in time provide value to shareholders by way of increased market capitalisation and/or dividends. In the current stage of its development, the Group has invested its available capital in acquiring and exploring mining tenements. As is appropriate at this stage, the Group is funded entirely by equity. As it moves forward to develop its tenements towards production, the Group will adjust its capital structure to support its operational and strategic objectives, by raising additional capital or taking on debt, as is seen to be appropriate from time to time given the overriding objective of creating shareholder value. In this regard, the Board will consider each step forward in the development of the Group on its merits and in the context of the then capital markets, in deciding how to structure funding arrangements.

Option reserve: On 26 June 2020 Saturn issued 1,892,500 free attaching options to a Third Party as part of a share placement. The issue of the options was subject to shareholder approval, which was granted on 8 August 2020, and Foreign Investment Review Board approval, which was granted on 17 November 2020. Given the uncertainty that that these approvals would be granted at the time of lodging the 30 June 2020 accounts, no value was separately recorded for those unissued free attaching options. Given both required approvals were received during the half year period and the issue of the options completed, the Group made a transfer for the value of the options out of the Contributed Equity account and recorded this value in an Option Reserve account. Note that total equity balance does not change with this adjustment.

For the December 2020 grant, the maximum value vested for this grant was estimated based on the share price of the Group at grant date. The minimum value of performance rights shares vested is nil, as the shares will be forfeited if the vesting conditions are not met. The Directors do not receive any dividends and are not entitled to vote in relation to the performance rights during the vesting period (Note 22(b)).

Interest and Other Income Income recognition Income is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the Group and the income can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before income is recognised. Interest income Income is recognised as the interest accrues using the nominal interest rate. Interest Income Government COVID Grant Total 15.

Income tax The income tax expense (or benefit) for the period is the tax payable (or refundable) on the current period’s taxable income based on the notional income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses. Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised. A deferred income tax asset is not recognised where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable income or when the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted at the reporting date. Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in profit and loss for the year. The Group has total carried forward tax losses arising in Australia of $6,937,421 (2020: $3,336,113) available for offset against future assessable income of the Group. The deferred tax asset in respect of these losses has been used to offset a deferred tax liability. The net deferred tax asset attributable to 41 SATURN METALS LIMITED – ANNUAL REPORT 2021 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont.) the residual tax losses of $4,238,443 has not been brought to account until convincing evidence exists that assessable income will be earned of a nature and amount to enable such benefit to be realised. 17.

Financial Risk Management Overview 2021 $ (1,369,508) 2020 $ (919,828) (260,470) (57,452) 22,592 (144,986) (3,122) (456,178) (24,541) 24,974 - - (10,683) 49,852 (185,573) (1,959,350) (109,926) - 9,432 (1,476,067) The Group is exposed to financial risks through the normal course of its business operations. The key risks impacting the Group’s financial instruments are considered to be, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, and credit risk. The Group’s financial instruments exposed to these risks are cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables and other payables. Credit risk Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to wholesale and retail customers, including outstanding receivables. Management assesses the credit quality of the counterparties by taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors. For banks and financial institutions, management considers independent ratings and only dealing with banks licensed to operate in Australia. The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables and contract assets. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables and contract assets have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. Tax receivables and prepayments do not meet the definition of financial assets. Risk management: The Group limits its exposure to credit risk in relation to cash and cash equivalents and other financial assets by only utilising banks and financial institutions with acceptable credit ratings. The Group operates in the mining exploration sector and does not have trade receivables from customers. SATURN METALS LIMITED – ANNUAL REPORT 2021 42 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont.) Impairment losses: At 30 June 2021 the Group has not recognised any impairment losses (2020: nil). Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation. The Group manages liquidity by maintaining adequate reserves by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows ensuring there are appropriate plans in place to finance these future cash flows. Typically, the Group ensures it has sufficient cash on hand to meet expected operational expenses, including the servicing of financial obligations; this excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters. Financial Obligations Trade and other payables less than 6 months Interest rate risk 30 June 2021 $ 30 June 2020 $ 1,311,321 542,840 Interest rate risk is the risk that the Group’s financial position will be adversely affected by movements in interest rates, cash and cash equivalents at variable rates exposes the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. The Group is not exposed to fair value interest rate risk as all of its financial assets and liabilities are carried at amortised amount. At the reporting date the interest rate profile of the Group’s interest-bearing financial instruments was: Short term cash deposits Carrying Amount 2021 $ 2020 $ - - Note 5 Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments of the Group At 30 June 2021 if interest rates had changed +/- 100 basis points from year end rates with all other variables held constant, equity and post-tax loss would have been subject to no change as no short term cash deposits were held during the year (2020: $17,018 lower/higher). Capital Management The Directors’ objectives when managing capital are to ensure that the Group can fund its operations and continue as a going concern, so that they may continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. Due to the nature of the Group’s activities, being mineral exploration, the Group does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. Therefore, the focus of the Group’s capital risk management is the current working capital position against the requirements of the Group to meet exploration programmes and corporate overheads. The Group’s strategy is to ensure appropriate liquidity is maintained to meet anticipated operating requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required. 43 SATURN METALS LIMITED – ANNUAL REPORT 2021 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont.) The working capital position of the Group were as follows: Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Lease liabilities Trade and other payables Working capital position Fair values Note 5 6 9 11 2021 $ 8,155,144 100,460 (62,966) (1,328,714) 6,863,924 2020 $ 5,131,938 33,975 - (542,840) 4,623,073 The carrying values of all financial assets and financial liabilities, as disclosed in the statement of financial position, approximate their fair values. 19. Contingencies & Commitments The Group had no contingent assets or liabilities as at 30 June 2021 (2020: $Nil). Exploration commitments Under the terms of mineral tenement licences held by the Group, minimum annual expenditure obligations are required to be expended during the forthcoming financial year in order for the tenements to maintain a status of good standing. This expenditure may be subject to variation from time to time in accordance with the relevant state department’s regulations. The Group may at any time relinquish tenements and as such avoid the requirement to meet applicable expenditure requirement or may seek exemptions from the relevant authority. Expenditure commitments within one year at the reporting date but not recognised as liabilities were $763,080 (2020: $625,580). Due to the uncertain nature of exploration and the fact that the Group may at any time relinquish tenements, it does not believe it to be appropriate to recognise these commitments post 12 months. The Group had no other exploration expenditure commitments, or other commitments greater than 12 months. 20. Events after the reporting period There were no other matters or circumstances that have arisen since the end of the financial period which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the Group in future financial years.

Share–based payments Share-based compensation benefits to directors, employees and consultants are provided at the discretion of the Board. The fair value of options granted is recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the recipient becomes unconditionally entitled to the options. The fair value at grant date is independently determined by using an appropriate model based on the vesting conditions attached to the options. The models used to determine fair value include a Black- Scholes model, or a hybrid employee share options pricing model.

Statement of Significant Accounting Policies The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial report are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial report includes the consolidated financial statements for the Group during the financial years ended 30 June 2021 and the comparative period. (a) Basis of preparation These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Australian Accounting Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001. Saturn Metals Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the consolidated financial statements. The presentation currency of these accounts is Australian Dollars (AUD). As at 30 June 2021, the Group made a net loss after tax of $1,959,350 (2020: $1,476,067). The ongoing capital requirements of the Group are dependent on the Group’s ability to raise funds in the future. The Directors have prepared a cash flow forecast, which indicates that the Group will have sufficient cash flows to meet all commitments and working capital requirements for the twelve month period from the date of signing this financial report. Based on the cash flow forecasts and other factors referred to above, the directors are satisfied that the basis of preparation is appropriate. Compliance with IFRS The consolidated financial statements and notes of the Group comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). 49 SATURN METALS LIMITED – ANNUAL REPORT 2021 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont.) Historical cost convention These consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. (b) Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements are those of the consolidated entity, comprising Saturn Metals Limited (“the parent entity”) and entities controlled during the year and at reporting date (“Group”). A controlled entity is any entity that the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Information from the consolidated financial statements of the controlled entities is included from the date the parent company obtains control until such time as control ceases. Where there is a loss of control of a subsidiary, the consolidated financial statements include the results for the part of the reporting period during which the parent company has control. Subsidiary acquisitions are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent entity, using consistent accounting policies. All intercompany balances and transactions, including unrealised profits arising from intra-Group transactions, have been eliminated in full. Unrealised losses are eliminated except where costs cannot be recovered. Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost in the parent entity. (c) Employee benefits Short-term obligations Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and leave entitlements that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to balance date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. (d) Goods and services tax Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of goods and services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item. Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable is included as a current asset in the statement of financial position. Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows. New standards and amendments Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are mandatory for the 30 June 2021 reporting period and have not been early adopted by the group. These standards are not expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions. (e) Critical accounting estimates and judgements The Directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. SATURN METALS LIMITED – ANNUAL REPORT 2021 50 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont.) The Group makes estimates and judgements in applying the accounting policies. Critical judgements in respect of accounting policies relate to exploration assets, where exploration expenditure is capitalised in certain circumstances. Recoverability of the carrying amount of any exploration assets is dependent on the successful development and commercial exploitation or sale of the respective areas of interest. Share-based payment transactions The Group measures the cost of equity-settled share-based payment transactions by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. The fair value is determined by using an appropriate model based on the vesting conditions attached to the options. The models used to determine fair value include a Black-Scholes model, or a hybrid employee share options pricing model. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact expenses and equity. Impairment of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure It is the Group’s policy to capitalise costs relating to exploration and evaluation activities. The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent upon a number of factors, including whether the Group decides to exploit the related lease itself or, if not, whether it successfully recovers the related exploration and evaluation asset through sale. Factors that could impact future recoverability include the level of reserves and resources, future technological changes which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes (including changes to environmental restoration obligations) and changes to commodity prices. To the extent that capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is determined not to be recoverable in the future, profits and net assets will be reduced in the period in which the determination is made. 51 SATURN METALS LIMITED – ANNUAL REPORT 2021 DIRECTOR’S DECLARATION The Board of Directors of Saturn Metals Limited declares that: (a) the consolidated financial statements, comprising the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of financial position, consolidated statement of cash flows, consolidated statement of changes in equity and accompanying notes are in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and: (i) comply with Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 and other mandatory professional reporting requirements; and (ii) give a true and fair view of the financial position as at 30 June 2021 and performance for the financial year ended on that date of the entity.

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 believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Independence 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 & Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (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.

Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial report. We tailored the scope of our audit to ensure that we performed enough work to be able to give an opinion on the financial report as a whole, taking into account the geographic and management structure of the Group, its accounting processes and controls and the industry in which it operates. Materiality • For the purpose of our audit we used overall materiality of $309,618 million, which represents approximately 1% of the Group’s total assets. • We applied this threshold, together with qualitative considerations, to determine the scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements on the financial report as a whole. • We chose the Company's total assets because, in our view, it is the benchmark against which the performance of the company is most commonly measured whilst in the exploration phase. • We utilised a 1% threshold based on our professional judgement, noting it is within the range of commonly acceptable asset-related thresholds. Audit Scope • Our audit focused on where the Group made subjective judgements; for example, significant accounting estimates involving assumptions and inherently uncertain future events. • The Company's operational and financial processes are managed by a corporate function in Perth, where substantially all of our audit procedures are performed. Key audit matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report for the current period. The key audit 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. Further, any commentary on the outcomes of a particular audit procedure is made in that context. We communicated the key audit matters to the Audit and Risk Committee. Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets We performed the following procedures, amongst others: (Refer to note 10) As at 30 June 2021, the Group had capitalised exploration and evaluation assets of $22.2 million relation to mining, exploration and prospecting licenses across Western Australia and New South Wales. This was a key audit matter because of the relative size of the exploration and evaluation balance in the consolidated balance sheet and the risk of impairment should the result of exploration activities not be positive, or the Group relinquish certain exploration licenses as it continues to assess future viability. Basis of preparation of the financial report (Refer to note 26) The financial statements have been prepared by the Group on a going concern basis, which contemplates that the Group will continue to meet its commitments, realise its assets and settle its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Group is in the exploration and evaluation phase and therefore does not generate revenue from its operations and relies on funding from its shareholders or other sources to continue as a going concern. These funds are used to meet expenditure requirements to maintain the good standing of the Group’s tenements, progress project feasibility studies, and to cover corporate overheads. Assessing the appropriateness of the Group’s basis of preparation for the financial report was a key audit matter due to its importance to the financial report and the level of judgement involved in assessing future funding and operational status, in particular with respect to the Group forecasting future cash flows for a period of at least 12 months from the audit report date (cash flow forecasts). • Assessed whether the Group retained right of tenure for all its exploration licence areas by obtaining licence status records from relevant state government online databases. • For a sample of additions to exploration and evaluation assets during the year inspected relevant supporting documentation, such as invoices, and compared the amounts to accounting records. • Obtained management’s exploration expenditure forecasts supporting their assessment of indicators of impairment. • Inquired of management and directors as to the future capitalised exploration and evaluation assets and assessed plans for future expenditure to meet minimum licence requirements. In assessing the appropriateness of the Group’s going concern basis of preparation for the financial report, we performed the following procedures, amongst others: • Evaluated the appropriateness of the Group’s assessment of its ability to continue as a going concern, including whether the period covered is at least 12 months form the date of the financial report and that relevant information of which we are aware as a result of the audit has been included. • Enquired of management and the directors whether they were aware of any events or conditions, including beyond the period of assessment that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. • Evaluated selected data and assumptions used in the Group’s cash flow forecasts. • Developed an understanding of what forecast expenditure in the cash flow forecast is committed and what could be considered discretionary. Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter • Assessed management’s historical accuracy of cash flow forecasting by comparing actual results to prior period forecasts. • Evaluated whether, in view of the requirements of Australian Accounting Standards, the financial report provides adequate disclosures about these events or conditions. Other information The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2021, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. Prior to the date of this auditor's report, the other information we obtained included the Corporate Directory, Director's Report and Director's Declaration. We expect the remaining other information to be made available to us after the date of this auditor's report. Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express an opinion or 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 on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, 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. When we read the other information not yet received, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to the directors and use our professional judgement to determine the appropriate action to take. 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 have 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 the financial report.

Saturn Metals Limited has ensured that the Mineral Resource estimates are subject to good governance arrangements and internal controls. The Mineral Resources reported have been generated by independent external consultants who are experienced in best practices in modelling and estimation methods. The consultants have also undertaken a review of the quality and suitability of the underlying information used to generate the resource estimations. Additionally, Saturn Metals Limited carries out regular reviews and audits of internal processes and external contractors that have been engaged by the Company. The Mineral Resource estimate for Apollo Hill was compiled and reported in accordance with the 'Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves' (the JORC Code) 2012 Edition. January 2021 Apollo Hill Mineral Resource: Preliminary Whittle pit optimizations using approximated regional mining and processing costs for multiple processing scenarios have been run on the resource model using a gold price of US$1,700/oz to generate a range of pit shells and cut-off grades. A pit shell for a combined mill and heap leach scenario representing a revenue factor of 1.4 was selected as a nominal constraint within which to report the Apollo Hill Mineral Resource, thereby satisfying the JORC Code requirement for a Mineral Resource to have reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction. Other relevant information is described in the JORC Code Table 1 as appropriate. A nominal 0.4 g/t Au lower cut-off grade was selected for all material types. There is no material depletion by mining within the model area. Estimation is by localised multiple indicator kriging for Apollo Hill zone and the Apollo Hill Hanging- wall zone; estimation of Ra and Tefnut zone used restricted ordinary kriging due to limited data. The model assumes a rotated 5 m by 12.5 m by 5 m RL Selective Mining Unit (SMU) for selective open pit mining. The final models are SMU models and incorporate internal dilution to the scale of the SMU. Technically the models do not account for mining related edge dilution and ore loss. These parameters should be considered during the mining study as being dependent on grade control, equipment and mining configurations including drilling and blasting. Classification is according to JORC Code Mineral Resource categories. Totals may vary due to rounded figures. October 2019 Apollo Hill Mineral Resource: The models are reported above nominal RLs (180 mRL – this is approximately 180 metres below surface (mbs) (accounting for localised variations in topography) for the Apollo Hill main zone and 260 mRL or 90mbs for Ra the deposit and the Apollo Hill Hanging-walls – refer to reporting RL’s illustrated in Figures 1, 3 and 4 in the ASX announcement titled “Apollo Hill Resource Upgrade” dated 14/10/2019) and nominal 0.5 g/t Au lower cut-off grade for all material types. Saturn Metals advise that there is no material depletion by mining within the model area. Estimation is by localised multiple indicator kriging for Apollo Hill zone and the Apollo Hill Hanging-wall zone; estimation of Ra zone used restricted ordinary kriging due to limited data. The model assumes a 5mE by 12.5mN by 5mRL Selective Mining Unit (SMU) for selective open pit mining. The final models are SMU models and incorporate internal dilution to the scale of the SMU. Technically the models do not account for mining related edge dilution and ore loss. These parameters should be considered during the mining study as being dependent on grade control, equipment and mining configurations including drilling and blasting. Classification is according to JORC Code Mineral Resource categories. Totals may vary due to rounded figures. 59 SATURN METALS LIMITED – ANNUAL REPORT 2021 COMPETENT PERSONS STATEMENT Competent Persons Statements – for October 2019 & January 2021 Resources Apollo Hill and Apollo Hill Project The information in this report that relates to exploration targets, geology, and exploration results and data compilation is based on information compiled by Kathryn Cutler, a Competent Person who is a Member of The Australian Institute of Mining and Metallurgists.
