CHAIRMAN’S LETTER
Dear Shareholder,
It is my pleasure to present Surefire Resources NL’s Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2022.
Surefire has forged ahead at its premier projects, all located in Western Australia, as the industry laboured through COVID-19 restrictions and then
recovered from the malaise.
While commodity prices have fluctuated through the year, the diversity and quality of our projects ensures the Company is well placed to create value
through economic cycles. The commodities we aim to produce are increasingly relevant in the global trend towards decarbonisation. We see
increasing demand for vanadium in large-scale vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFB’s), demand for nickel and copper in electric vehicles is strong
of course, and premium-quality low-carbon magnetite iron is coveted to supply the next generation of environmentally friendly steel mills.
It has been an exciting year, with exploration success at our greenfields Yidby Gold discovery, and work programmes have progressed at our key
Victory Bore- Unaly Hill Vanadium and Perenjori Iron development projects.
I would like to walk you through the exciting advances at those projects in the past twelve months:
At Yidby Gold Project, several drilling campaigns returned intercepts of exceptional grades and widths. Importantly, with each drilling campaign, the
Company’s understanding of the geological setting of Yidby has become better understood and additional discoveries have been made along strike.
Yidby now has a strike length of over 800m and remains open in several directions. It is anticipated that drilling over the next year will advance this
deposit to the point of declaring a maiden resource.
Victory Bore - Unaly Hill Vanadium Project has been elevated to a prefeasibility study footing, due to a strengthening in the vanadium demand from
large capacity storage battery manufacturers and increased activity in the traditional vanadium sectors of specialty steel alloys for aeronautical,
military, and space applications. The Company’s beneficiation Scoping Study was updated during the year which confirmed the technical and
economic viability of the project. Diamond drilling was undertaken to advance metallurgical studies and provide geotechnical data, and an RC drilling
programme commenced to lift the Inferred Resource to a higher resource category. In addition, Surefire has submitted a mining licence application
(M57/656) in preparation for a Mining Proposal submission.
A Concept Study over the Perenjori Iron Project, completed in June 2021, indicated a premium-quality magnetite concentrate can be produced from
the Perenjori resource at a competitive cost and a very healthy Net present Value. A Prefeasibility Study is anticipated to commence in the year
ahead as we anticipate growing desire for magnetite as the iron ore feed that will help decarbonize the steel industry.
The Kadji Ni-Cu-PGE Project is an exciting greenfields exploration target situated within the emerging “West Yilgarn Ni-Cu-PGE” province, which
hosts the world-class Julimar discoveries.
In the year ahead, we look forward to reporting on the next phase of studies at Victory Bore- Unaly Hill and Perenjori, and further exploration success
at our greenfields exploration projects.
I thank all Surefire shareholders for their ongoing support as we advance our key exploration and development projects. Thank you to my fellow
Directors and the entire Surefire team for their efforts in making these past twelve months a success.
Vladimir Nikolaenko
Chairman and Managing Director

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
General
Shareholders should review the Quarterly Reports which are lodged with ASX each quarter as these reports contain detailed information in relation
to the Company’s ongoing exploration activities.
Review of Operations
During the year, the Company was focussed on advancing each of our greenfields gold and base metals exploration projects at Yidby (gold), Kadji
(nickel-copper-PGE’s) and Kooline (lead-silver), and progressing studies at the Victory Bore – Unaly Hill Vanadium and Perenjori Iron Ore projects.
Yidby Gold Project
The Yidby Gold Project is shaping up to be an exciting gold discovery in the Midwest mining district of Western Australia. Yidby is surrounded by four
major gold mining operations, with multiple gold processing plants within trucking distance (Figure 1).
Figure 1 Yidby Gold Project location with major neighbouring gold deposits.
- Page 5 -
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Since the Project’s acquisition in August 2020, the Company has undertaken surface MMI geochemical surveys, gravity surveys, aeromagnetic
surveys, and multiple drilling campaigns to build on the mineralisation model and to predict further discoveries. Importantly, with each drilling
campaign, the Company’s understanding of the geological setting became better understood, and the discovery footprint has now expanded
significantly (ASX releases 25 October 2021, 19 January 2022, 21 March 2022, 12 May 2022, 2 June 2022).
Drilling has returned numerous thick zones of mineralisation with associated high grades, such as:
52m @ 1.40g/t including 19m @ 2.93g/t and 1m @ 39.1g/t
13m @ 1.33g/t including 2m @ 3.88g/t
19m @ 0.98g/t including 1m @ 10.63g/t
MMI sampling has proven particularly effective in identifying blind gold mineralisation beneath transported alluvial cover, with the result that a new
“Northwest Discovery Zone” returned 56m @ 0.60g/t including 16m @ 1.39g/t, 400m from the main discovery zone (ASX release 21 March 2022).
Mineralisation occurs in a thick structure with a shallow supergene zone on top of the interpreted lodes (Figure 2).
Yidby now encapsulates a strike length over 800m and is still open along strike and down dip (Figure 3). It is anticipated that drilling over the next
year will advance this deposit to the point of enabling a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate to be done.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Victory Bore – Unaly Hill Vanadium Project
Figure 3 Plan view of drilling locations and assay results.
The Victory Bore – Unaly Hill Vanadium Project is located 50 km south of Sandstone in Western Australia (Figure 4). The project is favourably located
within the Midwest mining district where the Geraldton Port and proposed Oakajee Port will service the region’s export facility needs.
The Project comprises one of the largest contained V2O5 resources in Western Australia and carries additional exploration upside with only 8km of
the 24km of prospective strike drilled to date. The Project has an Inferred Mineral Resource1 of:
237Mt @ 0.43% vanadium pentoxide (V2O5), 24.9% Fe, and 5.9% TiO2
During the year, the vanadium price rose in response to increased demand from large capacity storage battery developments and increased activity
in the traditional vanadium sectors of specialty steel alloys for aeronautical, military, and space applications, as well as industrial chemical and nuclear
reactor applications. Supply has been squeezed as two thirds of the world’s supply comes from China and Russia – sources that have been
constrained due to the current geopolitical circumstances.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Figure 4 Victory Bore - Unaly Hill Vanadium Project location.
A beneficiation scoping study was completed during the year (ASX release 3 May 2022) which confirmed the technical and economic viability of the
project. Initial testwork shows the Victory Bore vanadium Deposit has excellent beneficiation characteristics using industry-standard beneficiation
equipment and processes:
Up to a 367% vanadium upgrade with grind to 106µm and magnetic separation
First-stage concentration of 1.43% V2O5 achieved with 93.7% recovery of vanadium, not sensitive to primary ore grade
Deleterious elements (silica, alumina, and calcium) 99% rejected at first magnetic separator stage
Final beneficiation by sodium salt roast and water leach recovers 89.2% of vanadium
Final product is a high grade, premium vanadium flake V2O5
Titanium and iron by-products contribute credits to the value of the ore
Low bond index and abrasion index means moderate power and lower maintenance costs

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Figure 5 Scoping Study notional flowsheet for the Victory Bore-Unaly Hill Vanadium Project.
During the reporting period, two diamond core holes were drilled to advance metallurgical studies and provide host rock geotechnical data.
In addition, Surefire has submitted a mining licence application (M57/656) over the entire Victory Bore exploration licence area (E57/1036) in
preparation for a Mining Proposal Application. The proposal will be developed in parallel with the vanadium Prefeasibility Study (PFS).
Following the reporting period, the Company commenced its vanadium PFS, which aims to define a low-risk, low-cost operation to produce vanadium
pentoxide (V2O5) for use in vanadium redox flow batteries, and ferrovanadium for use in steel making. Potentially valuable co-products will be
explored, including titanium products, pig iron, magnetite iron concentrate, and nickel-copper-cobalt sulphides.
Resource infill drilling was completed (ASX release 18 August 2022) with the intention to upgrade the resource confidence category as the basis for
mining studies and an anticipated maiden ore reserve, and to provide samples for the metallurgical testwork component of the PFS.
Perenjori Iron Project
The large-scale Perenjori Iron Project is well-located in the infrastructure-rich Midwest district, 150km east of Geraldton. Existing rail and power lines
are within 15km of the project, and the rail distance to the Geraldton terminus is 219km (Figure 6).
The Company’s Concept Study (ASX release 22 June 2021) completed by MinRizon Projects Pty Ltd indicated a premium-quality magnetite
concentrate can be produced from the Perenjori resource at a competitive cost and a very healthy Net Present Value (NPV).
- Page 9 -
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Figure 6 Perenjori Iron Project location.
The Company expects the Perenjori Iron Project will deliver premium-quality, low-carbon magnetite concentrates into the next generation of
environmentally friendly steel mills. Magnetite is increasingly being recognised as the iron ore feed that will help decarbonize the steel industry,
because it is higher-grade than traditional haematite blast furnace feeds while at the same time delivering an energy richer feed. Magnetite concentrate
grades can achieve up to 70% Fe, so that less magnetite ore needs to be smelted per tonne of steel produced.
The Perenjori Iron Project ore has one of the highest iron grades amongst its peers, with a current Inferred Resource of 191.7Mt @ 36.6% Fe1. An
additional exploration target of 870 to 1,240Mt @ 22% to 42% Fe1 has been defined (ASX release 3 February 2022). Metallurgical test work has
shown a premium magnetite concentrate can be produced grading up to 69.6% Fe, with low deleterious elements at an industry standard grind size
(ASX release 26 February 2021).
Discussions with a possible offtake partner have progressed to facilitate the planning for an expanded magnetite concentrate production profile (ASX
releases 22 June 2021, 9 February 2022). Additionally, discussions continued with a third-party infrastructure provider to build, own, and operate a
slurry pipeline and trans-shipment facility independent of Geraldton Port.
In the year ahead, the Company has scheduled heritage and environmental baseline surveys and the drill-out of a potential initial mining area with
the intention to elevate the Inferred Resource to a higher category and to provide samples for metallurgical testwork in support of a Prefeasibility
Study.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Kadji Ni-Cu-PGE Project
The Kadji Ni-Cu-PGE Project is located within the Perenjori tenement group. The Kadji tenements cover an underexplored layered ultramafic complex
centrally positioned within the “West Yilgarn Ni-Cu-PGE province”, host to exciting discoveries of nickel and platinum-group elements (PGE’s) such
as Julimar (Chalice Mining Ltd). Surefire controls over 25km strike length of this under-explored area. The Kadji tenure is also prospective for gold
and lithium pegmatite mineralisation.
During the year, a high-resolution aeromagnetic survey was completed, which outlined numerous targets for follow-up geochemical sampling (Figure
7, and ASX 23 February 2022).
Geological reconnaissance of the project has verified the existence of prospective ultramafic rocks with elevated base metal signatures.
Consequently, systematic surface geochemistry surveys are being planned to optimise targets ahead of drilling.
Figure 7 Kadji Ni-Cu-PGE Project location.
During the year, Surefire’s additional tenement applications were granted in the Perenjori Project area. The new tenure covers concealed greenstones
and be explored for nickel, copper, PGE’s, gold and lithium.
Aeromagnetic interpretation has identified over 15 untested targets. Initial field reconnaissance has provided encouraging indicators of mineralisation
and systematic surface geochemistry is planned.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Kooline Lead-Silver Project
The Kooline Lead-Silver Project covers almost 50km of strike of prospective Ashburton Formation and contains the historically significant Kooline
Lead-Silver Mineral Field (Figure 8).
Figure 8 Location of the Kooline Project, Ashburton Basin, WA.
During the year, previously unprocessed airborne electromagnetic (AEM) data covering the Kooline Project has been modelled and assessed for
testing by drilling. Numerous Priority 1 targets have been identified around this historically high-grade Pb-Ag mine camp (ASX release 18 October
2021).
Following the reporting period, reconnaissance of the highest priority AEM target returned rock chip samples with high grades of lead and silver (ASX
release XXX). Surefire intends to undertake a systematic geochemical survey, with the potential for further ground EM surveying to define drilling
targets.
Tenement Rationalisation
With solid advances at key projects during the year, Surefire has embarked on a rationalisation of its tenements to ensure sufficient resources are
focussed on the headline projects. This work has included an objective assessment of the prospectivity of each tenement and its ongoing role in
supporting Surefire’s short- and long-term goals. Tenement rationalisation is important to make way for new opportunities, which the Company will
vigorously pursue particularly with in-demand commodities.
1 The company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the relevant market
announcement. In the case of estimates of Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves, the company confirms that all material assumptions and technical
parameters underpinning the estimates in the relevant market announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed. The Company
confirms that the form and context in which the Competent Person’s findings are presented have not materially changed from the original market
announcement.
2 The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration target is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral
Resource over the entire area of the Exploration Target, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of an increased Mineral
Resource.
Competent Person Statement
The information in this announcement that relates to the historical Exploration Results (unless otherwise referenced) is based on and fairly represents
information compiled by Mr Michael Povey who is a Member of the Australian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr Povey has sufficient experience
relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration, and to the activity which he has undertaken, to qualify as a Competent
Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the Joint Ore Reserve Committee (JORC) Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral
Resources and Ore Reserves. Mr Povey consents to the inclusion in this report of the matters based on this information in the form and context in
which it appears.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022
NOTE 1 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. The financial statements are for the
consolidated entity consisting of Surefire Resources NL and its subsidiaries. The financial statements are presented in the Australian currency.
Surefire Resources NL is a no liability company, domiciled and incorporated in Australia. The financial statements were authorised for issue by the
directors on 30 September 2022. The directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements.
(a) Basis of preparation
These general-purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by
the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. Surefire Resources NL is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing
the financial statements.
Going concern
The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplated the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation
of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The directors have considered the funding and operational status of the business in arriving at their assessment of going concern and believe that
the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate, based upon the following:
Current cash and cash equivalents on hand;
The ability of the Company to obtain funding through various sources, including debt and equity; and
The ability to further vary cash flow depending upon the achievement of certain milestones within the business plan.
Compliance with IFRS
The consolidated financial statements of the Surefire Resources NL Group also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
Adoption of new and revised accounting standards
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting
Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
Historical cost convention and going concern basis
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets,
financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied. These financial statements have been prepared
on the going concern basis.
(b) Principles of consolidation
(i) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed
to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the
activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from
the date that control ceases.
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also
eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed
where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of financial position respectively.
(ii) Changes in ownership interests
The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the Group. A
change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their
relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or
received is recognised in a separate reserve within equity attributable to owners of Surefire Resources NL.
When the Group ceases to have control, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognised
in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate,
jointly controlled entity or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are
accounted for as if the group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other
comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.
If the ownership interest in a jointly controlled entity or associate is reduced but joint control or significant influence is retained, only a proportionate
share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate.
(c) Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating
decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the full
- Page 26 -
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022
board of Directors.
(d) Foreign currency translation
(i) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in
which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Surefire
Resources NL's functional and presentation currency.
(ii) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign
exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year end exchange rates of monetary assets
and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss. They are deferred in equity if they are attributable to part of the net
investment in a foreign operation.
(iii) Group companies
The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional
currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of financial
position;
income and expenses for each statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless
that is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and
expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and
all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other financial
instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold or any
borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, the associated exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or
loss on sale.
(e) Revenue recognition
Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on the financial assets.
(f) Income tax
The income tax expense or revenue for the year is the tax payable on the current year’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for
each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the
countries where the Company’s subsidiaries and associated operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions
taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate
on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and
their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition
of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable
profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the reporting date and
are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will
be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in controlled
entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not
reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred
tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to
offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or
directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
(g) Leases
Leases where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Group as lessee are classified as operating leases.
Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the
period of the lease.
(h) Impairment of assets
Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more
frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the
asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in
- Page 27 -
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022
use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which
are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets that suffered an
impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period. Note that exploration and evaluation expenditures
are expensed as incurred – see note 1(l).
(i) Cash and cash equivalents
For statement of cash flows presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions,
other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and
which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
(j) Financial instruments
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial
assets, this is the date that the Group commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted).
Financial instruments (except for trade receivables) are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except where the instrument is classified
"at fair value through profit or loss", in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Where available, quoted prices in an
active market are used to determine fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted.
Trade receivables are initially measured at the transaction price if the trade receivables do not contain significant financing component or if the
practical expedient was applied as specified in AASB 15.63.
Classification and subsequent measurement
Financial assets
Financial assets are subsequently measured at:
amortised cost;
fair value through other comprehensive income; or
fair value through profit or loss
On the basis of the two primary criteria:
the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset; and
the business model for managing the financial assets
A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortised cost when it meets the following conditions:
the financial asset is managed solely to collect contractual cash flows; and
the contractual terms within the financial asset give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal
amount outstanding on specified dates.
A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income when it meets the following conditions:
the contractual terms within the financial asset give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal
amount outstanding on specified dates; and
the business model for managing the financial asset comprises both contractual cash flows collection and the selling of the financial asset.
By default, all other financial assets that do not meet the measurement conditions of amortised cost and fair value through other comprehensive
income are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at:
amortised cost; or
fair value through profit or loss
A financial liability is measured at fair value through profit and loss if the financial liability is:
a contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination to which AASB 3 applies
held for trading; or
initially designated as at fair value through profit or loss
All other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest expense over in profit or
loss over the relevant period.
The effective interest rate is the internal rate of return of the financial asset or liability. That is, it is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future
cash flows through the expected life of the instrument to the net carrying amount at initial recognition.
- Page 28 -
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022
A financial liability is held for trading if it is:
incurred for the purpose of repurchasing or repaying in the near term;
part of a portfolio where there is an actual pattern of short-term profit taking; or
a derivative financial instrument (except for a derivative that is in a financial guarantee contract or a derivative that is in an effective hedging
relationship)
Any gains or losses arising on changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss to the extent that they are not part of a designated hedging
relationship.
Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as a deduction from
equity, net of any tax effects.
Derecognition
Derecognition refers to the removal of a previously recognised financial asset or financial liability from the statement of financial position.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
A liability is derecognised when it is extinguished (i.e. when the obligation in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires). An exchange of an
existing financial liability for a new one with substantially modified terms, or a substantial modification to the terms of a financial liability is treated as
an extinguishment of the existing liability and recognition of a new financial liability.
The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable, including any non-cash
assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
Derecognition of financial assets
A financial asset is derecognised when the holder's contractual rights to its cash flows expires, or the asset is transferred in such a way that all the
risks and rewards of ownership are substantially transferred.
All the following criteria need to be satisfied for derecognition of a financial asset:
the right to receive cash flows from the asset has been expired or been transferred;
all risk and rewards of ownership of the asset have been substantially transferred; and
the entity no longer controls the asset (i.e. it has no practical ability to make unilateral
decisions to sell the asset to a third party).
On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the consideration
received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss.
On derecognition of a debt instrument classified as at fair value through other comprehensive income, the cumulative gain or loss previously
accumulated in the investment revaluation reserve is reclassified to profit or loss.
On derecognition of an investment in equity which was elected to be classified under fair value through other comprehensive income, the cumulative
gain or loss previously accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve is not reclassified to profit or loss, but is transferred to retained earnings.
Impairment of financial assets
An impairment loss is recognised for the expected credit losses on financial assets when there is an increased probability that the counterparty will
be unable to settle an instrument’s contractual cash flows on the contractual due dates, a reduction in the amounts expected to be recovered, or both.
The probability of default and expected amounts recoverable are assessed using reasonable and supportable past and forward-looking information
that is available without undue cost or effort. The expected credit loss is a probability-weighted amount determined from a range of outcomes and
takes into account the time value of money.
For trade receivables, material expected credit losses are measured by applying an expected loss rate to the gross carrying amount. The expected
loss rate comprises the risk of a default occurring and the expected cash flows on default based on the aging of the receivable. The risk of a default
occurring always takes into consideration all possible default events over the expected life of those receivables (“the lifetime expected credit losses”).
Different provision rates and periods are used based on groupings of historic credit loss experience by product type, customer type and location.
For intercompany loans that are repayable on demand, expected credit losses are based on the assumption that repayment of the loan is demanded
at the reporting date. If the subsidiary does not have sufficient accessible highly liquid assets in order to repay the loan if demanded at the reporting
date, an expected credit loss is calculated. This is calculated based on the expected cash flows arising from the subsidiary, and weighted for probability
likelihood variations in cash flows.
(k) Plant and equipment
All plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition
of the items.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future
economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any
component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of
profit and loss and other comprehensive income during the reporting period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation of plant and equipment is calculated using the prime cost method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts, net of their residual values,
over their estimated useful lives or, in the case of leasehold improvements and certain leased plant and equipment, the shorter lease term. The rates
are 50% per annum.
Depreciation of motor vehicles are calculated using the prime cost method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts, net of their residual values,
over their estimated useful lives or, in the case of leasehold improvements and certain leased plant and equipment, the shorter lease term. The rates
are 20% per annum.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated
recoverable amount (note 1(h)).
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the statement of profit and loss
and other comprehensive income.
(l) Exploration and evaluation costs
All exploration and evaluation expenditure is expensed to the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income as incurred. That the
carrying value of mineral assets, as a result of the operation of this policy, is zero does not necessarily reflect the board’s view as to the market value
of those assets.
(m) 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, non-interest bearing and are paid on normal commercial terms.
(n) Employee benefits
Wages and salaries and annual leave
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, and annual leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date
are recognised in other payables in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid
when the liabilities are settled.
(o) Share-based payments
The Group may provide benefits to employees (including directors) of the Group, and to vendors and suppliers, in the form of equity-based payment
transactions, whereby employees render services, or where vendors sell assets to the Group, in exchange for shares or rights over shares (‘equity-
settled transactions’).
The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the “fair value”, not market value. The “fair value” is determined
in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards. The Directors do not consider the resultant value as determined in accordance with Australian
Accounting Standards (such as by the application of the Black-Scholes European Option Pricing Model) represents market value. In the case of share
options issued, in the absence of a reliable measure, AASB 2 Share-based Payments prescribes the approach to be taken to determining the fair
value. Other models may be used.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance
conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (‘vesting date’).
The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting
period has expired and (ii) the number of options that, in the opinion of the directors of the Group, will ultimately vest. This opinion is formed based
on the best available information at balance date. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of 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 options that do not ultimately vest, except for options where vesting is conditional upon a market condition.
Where an option is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the option is
recognised immediately. However, if a new option is substituted for the cancelled option, and designated as a replacement option on the date that it
is granted, the cancelled and new option are treated as a modification of the original option.
(p) Issued capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
(q) Earnings per share
(i) Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to owners of the company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than
ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary
shares issued during the year.
(ii) Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect
of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have
been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.
(r) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation
authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to,
the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable
from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities,
revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors,
including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and
estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material
adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.
(s) Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may have, on the consolidated
entity based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing
and geographic regions in which the consolidated entity operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be
either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the
consolidated entity unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
(t) Taxation
Balances disclosed in the financial statements and the notes thereto related to taxation are based on the best estimates of the directors. These
estimates take into account both the financial performance and position of the Group as they pertain to current income taxation legislation, and the
directors understanding thereof. No adjustment has been made for pending or future taxation legislation. The current income tax position represents
that directors’ best estimate, pending an assessment by the Australian Taxation Office.
(u) Environmental issues
Balances disclosed in the financial statements and notes thereto are not adjusted for any pending or enacted environmental legislation and the
directors understanding thereof. At the current stage of the Group’s development and its current environmental impact, the directors believe such
treatment is reasonable and appropriate.
(v) Share-based payments
Share-based payment transactions, when made in the form of options to acquire ordinary shares, are valued using the Black-Scholes option or other
recognised pricing model. Models use assumptions and estimates as inputs.
Whilst the Directors do not consider the result derived by the application of, say, the Black-Scholes European Option Pricing Model is in anyway
representative of the market value of the share options issued, in the absence of reliable measure for the same, AASB 2 Share-based Payments
prescribes the fair value be determined by applying a generally accepted valuation methodology. Other recognised models may be used.
Restatement
The balance sheet as of 30 June 2021 has been restated to reflect the right-of-use asset and related lease liabilities in relation to the office lease at
10/100 Mill Point Road South Perth WA which were not recognised in the financial statement for the year ended 30 June 2021. There was no material
impact on the statement of financial performance.

The potential deferred tax benefit of these losses at the current corporate tax rate ($8,212,460) will only be recognised if:
(i)
the Group derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the losses and deductions to be
released;
(ii)
(iii)
the Group continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by the law; and

Note 1 - A resolution was approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting (‘AGM’) of the Company held on 23 November 2020 (‘the Grant
date’) to issue 22,125,500 shares to Company's Directors in lieu of accrued Directors' fees of $177,000. The issue price of the shares was set at
$0.008 being the price at which the Company's shares were trading when management decided to settle the liability by issuing shares (‘the decision
date’), the date of which is different from the Grant date. The closing price of $0.031 on the date of AGM was the grant date fair value of the shares
issued for a total fair value of $685,875. The settlement of the liability of $177,000 by the issuance of the shares thus resulted in a net loss of $508,875,
resulting from the increase in the value of the Company’s shares between the decision date and the grant date. This net loss has been recognised in
the Consolidated Statement of Financial Performance.
Note 2 -Share-based payment transactions, in the form of partly paid ordinary shares to directors, a broker and a contractor, were independently
valued by Scott Hill of Provisio Corporate. A fair and reasonable valuation of $0.0020 per Contributing Share, less $0.0001 payable upon conversion,
was adopted for accounting purposes.
Terms and condition of contributed equity
Ordinary Fully Paid Shares
Ordinary shares have the right to receive dividends as declared and, in the event of winding up of the Group, to participate in the proceeds from the
sale of all surplus assets in proportion to the number of shares held, regardless of the amount paid up thereon.
On a show of hands, every holder of fully paid ordinary shares present at a meeting in person or by proxy, is entitled to one vote and upon a poll,
each member present in person or by proxy or by attorney or duly authorised representative shall have one vote for each fully paid ordinary share.
Contributing Shares – Issued 21 May 2018
This tranche of contributing shares was issued at a price of $0.00 with no amount paid up upon issue.
A total amount of $0.027 per share remains payable. The Company has advised that it intends to provide notice of a call to the holders of the
Contributing Shares but at the date of this report, no call has yet been made.
Contributing Shares – Issued 27 November 2020
This tranche of contributing shares was issued at a price of $0.0001 which was paid upon issue.
A total amount of $0.0059 per share remains payable. At the date of this report, the Company has not made a call.

TENEMENT EXPENDITURES CONDITIONS AND OTHER COMMITTMENTS
NOTE 14
The Group has certain obligations to perform minimum exploration work on the tenements in which it has an interest. These obligations may in some
circumstances, be varied or deferred. Tenement rentals and minimum expenditure obligations which may be varied or deferred on application are
expected to be met in the normal course of business.
The minimum statutory expenditure commitments required to be spent on the granted tenements for the next twelve months amounts to $560,000.
NOTE 15
TENEMENT ACCESS
Native Title and Freehold
All or some of the tenements in which the Group has an interest are or may be affected by native title.
The Group is not in a position to assess the likely effect of any native title impacting the Group.
The existence of native title and heritage issues represent, as a general proposition, a serious threat to explorers and miners, not only in terms of
delaying the grant of tenements and the progression of exploration development and mining operations, but also in terms of costs arising consequent
upon dealing with aboriginal interest groups, claims for native title and the like.
As a general proposition, a tenement holder must obtain the consent of the owner of freehold before conducting operations on the freehold land.
Unless it already has secured such rights, there can be no assurance that the Group will secure rights to access those portions (if any) of the
Tenements encroaching freehold land but, importantly, native title is extinguished by the grant of freehold so if and whenever the Tenements encroach
freehold the Group is in the position of not having to abide by the Native Title Act in respect of the area of encroachment albeit aboriginal heritage
matters still be of concern.
NOTE 16 EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE
Subsequent to the end of the financial year, the Company announced on 7 July 2022 that all but 2,886,079 ASX:SRNOC options were exercised on
or before the 30 June 2022 expiry date.
Other than noted above or reported to ASX there have been no matters or circumstances that have arisen since 30 June 2022 which have significantly
affected or may significantly affect:
(a)
(b)
(c)
the Group’s operations in future years; or
the results of those operations in future years; or

NOTE 17 EQUITY-SETTLED SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
During the year, the Company issued 10,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares to Beau Resources Pty Ltd at $0.015 each as part settlement for the
acquisition of selected mineral exploration tenements in Western Australia. This share issue was subsequently approved at the Company AGM held
29 November 2021.

Particulars of contractual arrangements and financial benefits provided to the key management personnel are detailed in the directors’ report.
The total amount owing to both current and past directors and/or director-related parties (including GST) on 30 June 2022 was $304,824
(2021: $301,992). Of this amount, $265,093 is being disputed and/or subject to legal processes.
NOTE 20 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND ASSETS
The directors have disputed various invoices included in the Group’s financial records which were raised by previous directors in relation to services
rendered. The total amount of those charges equates to $265,093 and have been included in expenses incurred prior to 30 June 2018.
Contingent Liability on Acquisition of Victory Bore Tenement
In an Amendment to the Heads of Agreement for Sale of Tenement executed on 16 August 2018 between High Grade Metals Limited, Acacia Mining
Pty Ltd, Mutual Holdings Pty Ltd and Surefire Resources NL, it was agreed (among other terms) that:
1. Within 60 days of Surefire announcing to the ASX that it has obtained a pre-feasibility study that confirms that the subject tenement,
namely Victory Bore, if developed as a mine, has an internal rate of return of not less than 20%, Surefire will pay an additional sum of
$650,000; and
2. Within 60 days of Surefire announcing to the ASX that it has made a decision to mine within the Tenement area, Surefire will pay an
additional sum of $650,000.
Both of these contingencies have NOT been included as an expense in the Financial Report and are subject to the respective conditions being met
in due course.
Native Title
Tenements are commonly (but not invariably) affected by native title.
The Group is not in a position to assess the likely effect of any native title impacting the Group.
The existence of native title and heritage issues represent, as a general proposition, a serious threat to explorers and miners, not only in terms of
delaying the grant of tenements and the progression of exploration development and mining operations, but also in terms of costs arising consequent
upon dealing with aboriginal interest groups, claims for native title and the like.

NOTE 21
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS DISCLOSURE
(a)
Financial Risk Management Policies
The Group’s financial instruments consist of deposits with banks, receivables, financial assets and payables.
Risk management policies are approved and reviewed by the Board. The use of hedging derivative instruments is not contemplated at this
stage of the Group’s development.
Specific Financial Risk Exposure and Management
The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments, are interest rate and liquidity risks.
Interest Rate Risk
Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at reporting date whereby a future change in interest
rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of fixed rate financial instruments.
Liquidity Risk
The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows, cash reserves, liquid investments, receivables and payables.
Capital Risk
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to 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 raising as required.
The working capital position of the Group at 30 June 2022 and 30 June 2021 was as follows:
Cash and cash equivalents
Other receivables
Trade and other payables
Lease liability

Sensitivity Analysis – Interest rate risk
At 30 June 2022, as interest rates have been historically low, if interest rates had changed by -/+ 100 basis points from the weighted average
rate for the year with all other variables held constant, post-tax loss for the Group would have been insignificant (2021: Insignificantly lower or
higher) as a result of lower/higher interest income from cash and cash equivalents.

Independent Audit Report to the members of Surefire Resources NL
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Surefire Resources NL (‘the Company’) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as
‘the Group’), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2022, the consolidated statement of
profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement
of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant
accounting policies, and the directors' declaration.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
(i)
giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 30 June 2022 and of its financial performance for the year
then ended; and
(ii)
complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further
described as in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of
the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements
of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the code)
that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in
accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of
the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial
report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in
forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

How our audit addressed the matter
Our audit work included, but was not restricted to, the following:
We examined the Group’s approval processes in relation
to making payments to its suppliers and employees.
We selected a systematic sample of expenses using
different sampling methods, and vouched each item
selected to invoices and other supporting documentation.
We reviewed post year end payments and invoices to
ensure that all goods and services provided during the
financial year were recognised in expenses for the same
period.
For exploration expenses, we assessed which tenements
the spending related to, to ensure funds were expended
in relation to the Group’s ongoing projects.
From those charged with governance of the Group we
requested confirmations from all directors and other key
management personnel of the Group during the financial
year of their remuneration and any other transactions
between them, their related parties and the Group.
Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Review of Operations and Directors
Report and other information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2022 but does not include the
financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance
conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider
whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or
otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed on the other information 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.
Responsibilities of 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 Group’s ability 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 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.
- Page 42 -
As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain
professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and
perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide
a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting
from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal
control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate
in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used in the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by the directors.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, the audit evidence
obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the
Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw
attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to
modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report.
However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the
financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant
audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence,
and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence,
and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the
financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report
unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine
that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be
expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Report on the Remuneration Report
Opinion on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the Remuneration Report included on page 15 to page 18 in the directors' report for the year ended 30 June
2022.
In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Surefire Resources NL, for the year ended 30 June 2022, complies with section 300A
of the Corporations Act 2001.
Responsibilities
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance
with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based
on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
