This year has been marked by unprecedented market turbulence due to the coronavirus pandemic. As a company with a worldwide portfolio of early stage metal projects, Tempest redirected its focus away from overseas territories to Australia as international travel and lockdown restrictions escalated. The Company has also sought to diversify its commodity base away from being only focussed on lithium with a sale of its Nevada mining claims to ASX listed Argosy Minerals Ltd. Tempest retains exposure to any project upside that may be achieved through a future additional project success based milestone consideration. Tempest also secured exciting gold focussed opportunities, when in December 2019, it completed its purchase of a 100% interest in the Western Australian based exploration company Warrigal Mining Pty Ltd (Warrigal). The acquisition of Warrigal provides existing shareholders to 510km2 of high-quality precious and base metal exploration projects located in the Mount Magnet and Yalgoo mineral fields of the Murchison Province of Western Australia less than 500km North-East of Perth. As part of the acquisition, Don Smith and Owen Burchell, founding directors of Warrigal, joined the Board to bolster the technical team. The enthusiasm and drive they bring to the Board has been inspiring and we look forward to accelerating the exploration program in the December 2020 quarter and beyond. Tempest was also able to reach agreement with AIM listed Premier African Minerals Limited (Premier) for the sale of its Mozambique and Zimbabwe mineral exploration projects. The consideration received, comprising 124,512,702 Premier shares, enables Tempest to share any upside on successful exploration results by Premier. The Company was pleased with the successful completion of an Entitlement Offer (and Additional Placement) in August 2020. Proceeds therefrom will be applied to fund exploration programs over the next 6-12 months at the WA projects. We were delighted to supplement our technical team with the addition of Dr Anthony Morey during the year who specialises in mineralization systems with a particular focus on structural geology and the relationship to base metals and gold. Having previously worked at the Golden Grove Copper/Zinc/Gold Mine, Dr Morey’s knowledge of the geology in the Murchison region is expected to be invaluable in the development of the Tempest projects in that region. I would like to extend my thanks to the Company’s CEO Mr Don Smith, my fellow Directors and the management team for their ongoing efforts in advancing the Company’s projects in a challenging year. This year has presented many challenges but I’m excited by the opportunities ahead, particularly as we seek to expand our Australian gold and base metals footprint amid robust gold prices. On behalf of the Board, I thank you for your continued support and look forward to bringing you further news as our exploration efforts continue. Yours faithfully Brian Moller Chairman Page 4 TEMPEST MINERALS LTD - ACN 612 008 358 ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Review of Operations Overview The 2019-2020 year was a busy one for Tempest Minerals Limited (Tempest or TEM) with some significant challenges faced including: ● ● long standing unfavourable lithium and exploration market conditions; and the advent of the global COVID-19 pandemic. The effect on the company was largely minimised due to existing remote working procedures and exploration activities delayed only relatively briefly, due to short lived travel restrictions in Western Australia compared to other jurisdictions. There were also a number of organisational changes ● A change in corporate strategy away from exclusive lithium exploration to a diversified portfolio; ● Sale of the Company’s African assets; and ● A change in company name in August 2020. A number of exciting developments also prevailed during the reporting period including: The acquisition of private exploration company Warrigal Mining Pty Ltd; The appointment of key consultants; and ● ● ● Exciting results from exploration programs at the Australian projects. Strategy Tempest strategy is to maximise shareholder value and benefit all through the discovery and development of high potential precious, base and energy metals. We will achieve this by being industry leaders through excellence in sustainable business, innovation and science. Growth As part of the Company’s obligation to increase shareholder value, Tempest Minerals Ltd frequently reviews organic and acquisition-based growth opportunities which fit the company’s corporate and technical criteria. Australian Projects Warrigal In December 2019, TEM completed its purchase of a 100% interest in the Western Australian based exploration company Warrigal Mining Pty Ltd (Warrigal). (Refer previous ASX release “Completion of Warrigal Mining Acquisition” dated 13 December 2019). The acquisition of Warrigal provides existing shareholders to 510km2 of high-quality precious and base metal exploration projects located in the Mount Magnet and Yalgoo mineral fields of the Murchison Province of Western Australia less than 500km North-East of Perth. Page 5 TEMPEST MINERALS LTD - ACN 612 008 358 ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Review of Operations War West Project Background 93km2 of granted tenure and sits within 20km of two milling and processing facilities. The Warriedar Project is flanked by greenstones and volcanics and is interpreted by TEM to host a significant Intrusive Related Gold System (IRGS). Although a previously lesser known mineralisation style in Western Australia, more recent high-profile examples such as DeGrey Mining ASX:DEG Hemi and Northern Star ASX:NST Pogo Mine have spotlighted the potential. The War West Project is exemplified by a large 15km x 3km highly altered zone of intermediate composition intrusive known as the Walganna Suite. The project is highlighted further by multiple indicator geochemical anomalies within the altered zone with high grade vein rock chips with frequent visible gold along with significant legacy alluvial and artisanal hard rock gold mining within the project bounds. Historical gold production at the Warriedar Mining Centre and State Battery occurred between 1913- 1935 reported an average grade of 10.7g/t Au. The Warriedar Mine produced copper between 1958-1969 at a grade of 9.83% Cu. Page 6 TEMPEST MINERALS LTD - ACN 612 008 358 ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Review of Operations Activities During the reporting period, the Company completed multiple geological mapping campaigns and one 500m offset grid pattern-based surface geochemistry program. The aim of the surface sampling program was to obtain further insight into the geology and source of the mineralization through multi-element geochemistry. Parts of the planned program were not completed due to logistical challenges associated with the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus. Also, areas of deeper than expected transported cover were encountered which will require alternative sampling techniques such as Rotary Air Blast (RAB) drilling. Some highlights of this work are shown below: Figure 1: Sample points - AsBiMoSbTeW (ppm) Page 7 TEMPEST MINERALS LTD - ACN 612 008 358 ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Review of Operations Figure 2: Sample points - Arsenic (ppm) Figure 3: Sample points - AsBiMoSbTeW (ppm) Page 8 TEMPEST MINERALS LTD - ACN 612 008 358 ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Review of Operations Further work including infill surface sampling and drilling is anticipated to resume in the December 2020 quarter. Meleya Project Background The Meleya Project comprises the Eastern side of the Walganna Suite of intermediate intrusives which have known gold mineralisation as well as >20km of previously unrecognised greenstones and volcanics of the Yalgoo Foldbelt which are interpreted as being along strike from World Class Copper-Zinc-Lead-Gold-Silver VMS deposit Golden Grove. This previously unexplored sequence now includes large exposures of outcropping prospective rocks mapped geologically and geochemically as both metal bearing and highly prospective for hosting significant orogenic gold and Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) deposits. Activities Activities during the reporting period included a large scale 1000m x 500m offset grid surface and auger sampling program. The raw data from this program was processed using a number of advanced geochemical algorithms which identified multiple large-scale anomalies. Figure 4: Warriedar geology map with distribution of CHI4 index data Some of the samples were also scrutinized using advanced geochemical ‘fingerprinting’ techniques including: full digestion, fused bead LA-ICPMS and XRF analysis methods, chondrite normalised immobile element trace plots and fertility indicators. These showed the majority of samples received fit in the dacitic/rhyodacitic categories as well as the ‘F-II / F-IIIa / F-IV’ fertility fields - which is a key requirement for enabling economically viable archaean VMS deposits in Australia and worldwide (including Golden Grove – figure 5 & 6). Page 9 TEMPEST MINERALS LTD - ACN 612 008 358 ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Review of Operations Figure 5: Comparable host rock geochemistry between Golden Grove and Meleya (a-b immobile element plots, c-d normalised chondrite trace element plots) Figure 6: Plot of La/Yb vs Yb as proxy for fertility receptor for VMS (F1 Purple being non-fertile) TEM commissioned renowned geophysicist Kim Frankcombe of ExploreGeo Pty Ltd to review the regional geophysical data and produce remodelled high-resolution magnetic data (refer Figure 7). Existing target zones identified from legacy geophysical data in the Meleya Zone correspond with targets identified from this new data as well as zones of geochemical prospectivity. Page 10 TEMPEST MINERALS LTD - ACN 612 008 358 ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Review of Operations Figure 7: Total Magnetic Intensity image of the Meleya Zone with new targets Messenger Project Background The Messenger Project comprises 2 tenements totalling of 93km2 located nearby the world class EMR Golden Grove base and precious metal mine. The project itself and neighbouring prospecting leases have all been subject to artisanal mining since at least 1907 when gold was first discovered at the location. The Messenger Project has outcrops of the key Golden Grove Unit as well as large outcrops of underexplored mafics, ultramafics and greenstone and associated quartz lodes. Activities Although hindered by COVID-19 restrictions, exploration work undertaken included desktop studies and initial reconnaissance mapping (refer Figure 8).

Page 15 TEMPEST MINERALS LTD - ACN 612 008 358 ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Review of Operations Zimbabwe Mozambique Africa Nevada The Company sold its 80% interest in the Tonopah Lithium Project in the Clayton Valley, in West Central Nevada, in the United States of America, to ASX listed Argosy Minerals Ltd. Likely Developments The Company will continue its mineral exploration activities (subject to any restrictions that may apply in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic, as noted above) with the objective of finding mineralised resources. The Company will also consider the acquisition of further prospective exploration interests and where appropriate secure joint venture partners to assist in financing exploration activities. The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has to date not had a significant direct financial impact on the Company. Staff have been able to work from home and have remained in good health. Whilst field exploration programs have been delayed or rescheduled as a result of certain travel restrictions and gradual opening up of boarders, the Company is on track to complete the majority of its planned exploration program during the current field season. The majority of the planned program for the 2020 calendar year is focussed on projects located in Western Australia.

Moller D. Smith V. Mascolo A. Haythorpe O. Burchell P. Jurman Unlisted Options ($0.04, expiring 30-Sep-2022) 3,000,000 4,000,000 3,000,000 3,000,000 3,000,000 2,000,000 Other than the matters noted above, there are no material matters or circumstances that have arisen since the end of the year 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. Business Results The prospects of the Group in progressing their exploration projects may be affected by a number of factors. These factors are similar to most exploration companies moving through exploration phase and attempting to get projects into development. Some of these factors include: Exploration - the results of the exploration activities may be such that the estimated resources are insufficient to justify the financial viability of the projects. The Group undertakes extensive exploration and product quality testing prior to establishing JORC compliant resource estimates and to (ultimately) support mining feasibility studies. The Group engages external experts to assist with the evaluation of exploration results where required and utilises third party competent persons to prepare JORC resource statements or suitably qualified senior management of the Group. Economic feasibility modelling of projects will be conducted in conjunction with third party experts and the results of which will usually be subject to independent third-party peer review. Regulatory and Sovereign - the Group currently operates in Australia and operated in Zimbabwe and Mozambique during the year and deals with local regulatory authorities in relation to the exploration of its properties. The Group may not achieve the required local regulatory approvals Page 21 TEMPEST MINERALS LTD- ACN 612 008 358 ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Directors’ Report to continue exploration or properly assess development prospects. The Group takes appropriate legal and technical advice to ensure it manages its compliance obligations appropriately. Social Licence to Operate – the ability of the Group to secure and undertake exploration and development activities within prospective areas is also reliant upon satisfactory resolution of native title and (potentially) overlapping tenure. To address this risk, the Group develops strong, long term effective relationships with landholders with a focus on developing mutually acceptable access arrangements. The Group takes appropriate legal and technical advice to ensure it manages its compliance obligations appropriately. Environmental - All phases of mining and exploration present environmental risks and hazards. The Group’s operations are subject to environmental regulations pursuant to a variety of state and municipal laws and regulations. Environmental legislation provides for, among other things, restrictions and prohibitions on spills, releases or emissions of various substances produced in association with mining operations. Compliance with such legislation can require significant expenditures and a breach may result in the imposition of fines and penalties, some of which may be material. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner expected to result in stricter standards and enforcement, larger fines and liability and potentially increased capital expenditures and operating costs. Environmental assessments of proposed projects carry a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and directors, officers and employees. The Group assesses each of its projects very carefully with respect to potential environmental issues, in conjunction with specific environmental regulations applicable to each project, prior to commencing field exploration. Periodic reviews are undertaken once field exploration commences. Safety - Safety is of critical importance in the planning, organisation and execution of the Group’s exploration and development activities. The Group is committed to providing and maintaining a working environment in which its employees are not exposed to hazards that will jeopardise an employee’s health, safety or the health and safety of others associated with our business. The Group recognises that safety is both an individual and shared responsibility of all employees, contractors and other persons involved with the operation of the organisation. The Group has a Safety and Health Management system which is designed to minimise the risk of an uncontrolled safety and health event and to continuously improving safety culture within the organisation. Funding - the Group will require additional funding to continue exploration and potentially move from the exploration phase to the development phases of its projects. There is no certainty that the Group will have access to available financial resources sufficient to fund its exploration, feasibility or development costs at those times. Market - there are numerous factors involved with exploration and early stage development of its projects, including variance in commodity price and labour costs which can result in projects being uneconomical. Environmental Issues The Group is subject to significant environmental regulations under the (Federal, State and local) laws in which the Group operates, which currently includes Australia and previously included Zimbabwe and Mozambique. The directors monitor the Group’s compliance with environmental obligations. The directors are not aware of any compliance breach arising during the year and up to the date of this report. Native Title Mining tenements that the Group currently holds, may be subject to Native Title claims. The Group has a policy that is respectful of the Native Title rights and will, as required, negotiate with relevant indigenous bodies. Page 22 TEMPEST MINERALS LTD- ACN 612 008 358 ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Directors’ Report Covid-19 The financial results for the year have been influenced by the impacts of COVID-19 and the resulting changes in government legislation relating to matters such as limited physical contact between staff and with clients, temporary closure of some businesses that the Group would otherwise have traded with, changes to the welfare system and various stimulus payments. It is not practical to quantify the exact financial impact of COVID-19, but changes in the current year's result that are directly or indirectly attributable to COVID-19 include: -Reduced travel costs -Increased information technology costs -Increased workplace health & safety costs -Physical access to some locations in Western Australia were limited for a short period. The Group has taken the following steps to minimise regulatory and financial risk to the business -Significantly reducing staff travel to minimise physical contact -Enabling staff to work from home, where possible -Education programs for staff to build awareness of how to reduce risk of infection -Maintaining relationships with suppliers and other partners -Continuous updating of cash-flow projections as circumstances change. Remuneration Report (Audited) This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each director and other key management personnel. The names of key management personnel of Tempest Minerals Ltd who have held office during the financial year are: Brian Moller Non-Executive Chairman Don Smith Non-Executive Director (appointed 10 January 2020) and Managing Director (appointed 3 April 2020) Vincent Mascolo Non-Executive Director Andrew Haythorpe Non-Executive Director (appointed 11 October 2019), Interim Managing Director (from 28 October 2019 until 3 April 2020) and Non-Executive Director (from 3 April 2020) Owen Burchell Non-Executive Director (appointed 10 January 2020) Shanthar Pathmanathan Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director (resigned 11 October 2019) Duncan Cornish Company Secretary and Chief Financial Officer (resigned 3 March 2020) The Group’s remuneration policy seeks to align director and executive objectives with those of shareholders and the business, while at the same time, recognising the early development stage of the Group and the criticality of funds being utilised to achieve development objectives. The board believes the current policy has been appropriate and effective in achieving a balance of these objectives. The Group’s remuneration policy provides for long-term incentives to be offered through a director and employee share option plan and also through a performance rights plan. Options may be granted under these plans to align directors’, executives’, employees’ and shareholders’ interests. Two methods may be used to achieve this aim, the first being performance rights and options that vest upon reaching or exceeding specific predetermined objectives, and the second being options granted with higher exercise prices (than the share price at issue) rewarding share price growth. Page 23 TEMPEST MINERALS LTD- ACN 612 008 358 ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Directors’ Report Remuneration Report (Audited) (Continued) The board of directors is responsible for determining and reviewing the Group’s remuneration policy, remuneration levels and performance of both executive and non-executive directors. Independent external advice will be sought when required. No independent external advice was sought during the current year. Performance-Based Remuneration Performance-based remuneration includes both short-term and long-term incentives and is designed to reward key management personnel for reaching or exceeding specific objectives or as recognition for strong individual performance. Short-term incentives are available to eligible staff of the Group and may be comprised of cash bonuses, determined on a discretionary basis by the board. No short-term incentives were made available during the year. Long-term incentives are comprised of share options and performance rights, which are granted from time-to-time to encourage sustained strong performance in the realisation of strategic outcomes and growth in shareholder value. The exercise price of the options is determined after taking into account the underlying share price performance in the period leading up to the date of grant and if applicable, performance conditions attached to the share options. Subject to specific vesting conditions, each option is convertible into one ordinary share. The Group’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration of board members and key executives is set out below. Directors Board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting and is not linked to the performance of the Group. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors approved by shareholders is currently $300,000. One-third, by number, of non- executive directors retires by rotation at the Company’s Annual General Meeting. Retiring directors are eligible for re- election by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of the Company. The appointment conditions of the non-executive directors are set out and agreed in letters of appointment. Executives The remuneration structure for executives is based on a number of factors, including length of service, particular experience of the individual concerned, and overall performance of the Group. The executives receive payments provided for under an employment or service agreement, which may include cash, superannuation, short-term incentives, and equity-based performance remuneration. The Company agreed terms with Mr Don Smith under which Mr Smith agreed to be employed as the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Company (“CEO Agreement). The key terms of the CEO agreement are set out below: Base remuneration of $240,000 per annum inclusive of superannuation (from ASX listing date, being 3 April 2020); Long term incentive and KPIs to be decided by the Board; and 2 months’ written notice of termination by either party.

As the Company is still in the exploration and development stage, the link between remuneration, company performance and shareholder wealth is tenuous. Share prices are subject to the influence of commodity prices and market sentiment towards the sector, and as such, increases and decreases might occur independent of executive performance and remuneration.

The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical cost, except for held for sale assets that are fair valued. The financial report was authorised for issue on 28 September 2020 by the directors of the Company. Separate financial statements for Tempest Minerals Ltd as an individual entity are no longer presented following a change to the Corporations Act 2001. However, financial information required for Tempest Minerals Ltd as an individual entity is included in Note 26. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are presented below. They have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated. Going Concern The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. For the year ended 30 June 2020 the Group generated a consolidated loss of $1,652,907 and incurred operating cash outflows of $1,108,401. As at 30 June 2020 the Group has cash and cash equivalents of $106,008 and net assets of $1,140,144. These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast a significant doubt on the group’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Group’s ability as a going concern will depend upon the Group being able to manage its liquidity requirement and by taking some or all of the following actions: 1. raising additional capital; 2. 3. successful exploration and subsequent exploitation of the Group’s tenements; reducing its working capital expenditure; and 4. disposing of non-core projects. After taking into account the current financial position of the Group and the Entitlement Offer and additional placement completed in August 2020, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group will have adequate resources to fund its future operational requirements and for these reasons they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial report. Should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the financial statements. This financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts or classification of liabilities and appropriate disclosures that may be necessary should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern. Page 35 TEMPEST MINERALS LTD - ACN 612 008 358 ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2020 NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Principles of Consolidation Subsidiaries The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Tempest Minerals Ltd ("Company" or "parent entity") as at 30 June 2020, and the results of all subsidiaries for the period then ended. Tempest Minerals Ltd and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the Group or the economic entity. The names of the subsidiaries are contained in Note 24. All subsidiaries in Australia have a 30 June financial year end and are accounted for by the parent entity at cost. All subsidiaries in Africa have a 31 December financial year end and are accounted for by the parent entity at cost. Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group has control over an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has a right to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity, and has the ability to use its power to affect those returns. 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. 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 asset transferred. Accounting policies of controlled entities have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. Non-controlling Interests Equity interests in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Group are presented as “non- controlling interests”. The Group initially recognises non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests in subsidiaries and are entitled to a proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets on liquidation at either fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, non-controlling interests are attributed their share of profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income. Non-controlling interests are shown separately within the equity section of the statement of financial position and statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income. Changes in ownership interests When the Group ceases to have control, joint control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value, with the change in the 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, joint venture 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. 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 Managing Director. The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. Page 36 TEMPEST MINERALS LTD - ACN 612 008 358 ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2020 NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Segment Reporting (Continued) The Group is managed primarily on the basis of geographical locations as these locations have notably different risk profiles and performance assessment criteria. Operating segments are therefore determined on the same basis. Reportable segments disclosed are based on aggregating operating segments where the segments are considered to have similar economic characteristics and are similar with respect to any external regulatory requirements. Management currently identifies the Group as having only one reportable segment, being the exploration of mineral projects. Income Tax The income tax expense/(income) for the period comprises current income tax expense/(income) and deferred tax expense/(income). Current income tax expense charged to profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date. Current tax liabilities/(assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to/ (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority. Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the period as well unused tax income tax expense/(income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity. Current and deferred losses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss. The Company and its Australian 100% owned controlled entities have formed a tax consolidated group. Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised. The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the economic entity will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law. Exploration and Evaluation Assets Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. Such expenditures comprise net direct costs and an appropriate portion of related overhead expenditure but do not include overheads or administration expenditure not having a specific nexus with a particular area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage which permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves and active or significant operations in relation to the area are continuing. A regular review will be undertaken on each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest. A provision is raised against exploration and evaluation assets where the directors are of the opinion that the carried forward net cost may not be recoverable or the right of tenure in the area lapses. The increase in the provision is charged against the results for the year. Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit or loss in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made. When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves. Page 37 TEMPEST MINERALS LTD - ACN 612 008 358 ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2020 NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Restoration Costs Costs of site restoration are provided over the life of the facility from when exploration commences and are included in the costs of that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plant, equipment and building structures, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with clauses of the exploration and mining permits. Such costs have been determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and technology on an undiscounted basis. Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted for on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations and future legislation. Accordingly, the costs have been determined on the basis that the restoration will be completed within one year of abandoning the site. The economic entity is not currently liable for any future restoration costs in relation to current areas of interest. Consequently, no provision for restoration has been deemed necessary. Impairment of Non- Financial Assets At each reporting date, the economic entity reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset's carrying value. Any excess of the asset's carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to profit or loss. Other Receivables Due to the short-term nature of these receivables, their carrying value is assumed to approximate fair value. The maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying value of receivables. Collateral is not held as security, and the receivables are not exposed to foreign exchange risk. The Group has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days overdue. Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than 3 months. Issued Capital Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Transaction costs (net of tax where the deduction can be utilised) arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds received. Trade and Other Payables These amounts represent financial liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. Financial liabilities are carried at amortised cost and are initially measured at fair value including transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Trade payables are non-interest bearing and are generally on 30-60 days terms. Due to their short-term nature trade and other payables are not discounted. Page 38 TEMPEST MINERALS LTD - ACN 612 008 358 ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2020 NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Share Based Payments The economic entity makes equity-settled share based payments to directors, employees and other parties for services provided or the acquisition of exploration assets. Where applicable, the fair value of the equity is measured at grant date and recognised as an expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase to an equity account. The fair value of shares is ascertained as the market bid price. The fair value of options is ascertained using the Black and Scholes option valuation pricing model which incorporates all market vesting conditions. Where applicable, the number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at each reporting date such that the amount recognised for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest. Where the fair value of services rendered by other parties can be reliably determined, this is used to measure the equity-settled payment. Goods and Services Tax (GST) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST (or overseas VAT), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable. In these circumstances the GST (or overseas VAT) is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST. Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis except for the GST component of investing and financing activities which are disclosed as operating cash flows. Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances Functional and presentation currency The functional and presentation currency of Tempest Minerals Ltd and its Australian subsidiaries is Australian dollars ($A). Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were measured. Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge. Group Companies The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the economic entity’s presentation currency are translated as follows: assets and liabilities are translated at period-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date; income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are recognised in other comprehensive income. Page 39 TEMPEST MINERALS LTD - ACN 612 008 358 ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2020 NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Plant and Equipment Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less, accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis and therefore carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment. In the event the carrying amount of plant and equipment is greater than the estimated recoverable amount, the carrying amount is written down immediately to the estimated recoverable amount and impairment losses are recognised either in profit or loss. A formal assessment of recoverable amount is made when impairment indicators are present. The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed periodically by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts. The cost of fixed assets constructed within the Consolidated Entity includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads. 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 benefits associated with the item will flow to the Consolidated Entity and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the profit and loss and other comprehensive income during the financial year in which they are incurred. Depreciation The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset’s useful life to the Consolidated Entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. The depreciation rates used for plant and equipment is 33%. The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance date. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the profit or loss. Employee Benefits Short-term employee benefit obligations Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the reporting period are recognised in liabilities in respect of employees' services rendered up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Earnings Per Share (EPS) Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to equity holders 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 any bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year. 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.

The carrying value of this disposal group is estimated by reference to the negotiation conducted with third parties and the Directors’ judgement as to the probably value that can be realised by the Group. Adoption of new and revised Accounting Standards For the year ended 30 June 2020, the Board has reviewed all new and revised standards and interpretations issued by the AASB. The Board has also reviewed all new Standard and Interpretations that have been issued but not yet effective for the year ended 30 June 2020. As a result of this review, the Board has determined that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change necessary to accounting policies. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial statements based on historical knowledge and best available current reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the economic entity. information. Estimates assume a Key Judgements: Exploration and Evaluation Assets The Group performs regular reviews on each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest. These reviews are based on detailed surveys and analysis of exploration and drilling results performed to reporting date. Exploration and evaluation assets at 30 June 2020 were $961,811. Share based payments transactions The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees and consultants by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value of options is determined by an internal valuation using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of performance rights is determined by the underlying share price at grant date.

The Board reviewed, assessed and impaired the carrying value of tenements held in Western Australia, Zimbabwe and Mozambique that were either surrendered or deemed not prospective for lithium mineralisation. At 30 June 2020, the Company was in the process of disposing its African assets in Mozambique and Zimbabwe. The carrying value of these assets were reclassified as Held for Sale asset (refer to note 14). Recoverability of the carrying amount of exploration assets is dependent on the successful development and commercial exploitation of projects, or alternatively, through the sale of the areas of interest.

Management controls the capital of the Group to ensure it can fund its operations and continue as a going concern. Capital management policy is to fund its exploration activities principally by way of equity, and where required, debt and/or project finance.

Page 48 TEMPEST MINERALS LTD - ACN 612 008 358 ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2020 NOTE 15: OPERATING SEGMENTS Segment Information Identification of reportable segments The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. The Group is managed primarily on the basis of geographical locations as these locations have notably different risk profiles and performance assessment criteria. Operating segments are therefore determined on the same basis. Reportable segments disclosed are based on aggregating operating segments where the segments are considered to have similar economic characteristics and are similar with respect to any external regulatory requirements. Management currently identifies the Group as having only one reportable segment, being the exploration of mineral projects. Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments (a) Accounting policies adopted Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors, being the chief decision maker with respect to operating segments, are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent to those adopted in the annual financial statements of the Group. (b) Segment assets Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated to that segment that receives majority economic value from that asset. In most instances, segment assets are clearly identifiable on the basis of their nature and physical location. (c) Segment liabilities Liabilities are allocated to segments where there is a direct nexus between the incurrence of the liability and the operations of the segment. Borrowings and tax liabilities are generally considered to relate to the Group as a whole and are not allocated. Segment liabilities include trade and other payables and certain direct borrowings. (d) Unallocated items The following items of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities are not allocated to operating segments as they are not considered part of the core operations of any segment: Derivatives Net gains on disposal of available-for-sale investments Impairment of assets and other non-recurring items of revenue or expense Income tax expense Deferred tax assets and liabilities Current tax liabilities Other financial liabilities Intangible assets Discontinuing operations Page 49 TEMPEST MINERALS LTD - ACN 612 008 358 ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2020 NOTE 15: OPERATING SEGMENTS (Continued) i.

The weighted average fair value of performance rights granted was 9.04 cents. All of the performance rights expire 72 months after issue date. In January 2018, 200,000 performance rights were exercised and 600,000 performance rights expired when a director resigned. The fair value of the performance rights after the excise and cancellation totalled $623,700 and has been spread over the period to 30 June 2020, being the last vesting date on the performance rights. 2. Options and performance rights that lapsed/expired or forfeited during the year amounting to $225,067 were adjusted through the profit and loss statement. Other Share-based Payments During the year, the Company issued 6,693,088 options to corporate advisors as partial consideration for acting as the Lead Managers of the capital raising undertaken in September 2019, the fair value of which has been recorded as part of share issue costs and therefore not recognised as an expense in the reporting year. The options vested on grant date and expire on 30 September 2020. The weighted average fair value of options granted during the period was 2.023 cents. The fair values at grant date were determined by using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the share price at issue date, exercise price, expected volatility, option life, expected dividends, the risk free rate, the impact of dilution, the fact that the options are not tradeable. The inputs used for the Black-Scholes option pricing model for the options granted were as follows: Issue date: 19 September 2019 share price at issue date: 5 cents exercise price: 5 cents expected volatility: 105.30% expected dividend yield: nil risk free rate: 1.00% The fair value of the options is valued at $135,401 in total.

NOTE 23: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (a) Financial Risk Management Policies The Group's financial instruments comprise cash balances, receivables and payables, loans to and from subsidiaries and a loan from a related party. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to provide finance for Group operations. Treasury Risk Management Key executives of the Company meet on a regular basis to analyse exposure and to evaluate treasury management strategies in the context of the most recent economic conditions and forecasts. The board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group's risk risk management framework. Management management policies and reports to the board. responsible for developing and monitoring the is Financial Risks The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. These risks are managed through monitoring of forecast cash flows, interest rates, economic conditions and ensuring adequate funds are available. Interest Rate Risk The Group's exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instrument's cash flows or fair value will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates, arises in relation to the Group's bank balances. This risk is managed through the use of variable rate bank accounts. Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able meet its financial obligations as they fall due. This risk is managed by ensuring, to the extent possible, that there is sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's reputation. The Group's activities are funded from equity and where required and available debt and/or project finance. There is no requirement to repay principal or pay interest on the related party loan during the loan term. Credit Risk The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to recognised financial assets, is their carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements. Page 56 TEMPEST MINERALS LTD - ACN 612 008 358 ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2020 NOTE 23: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued) Credit risk arises from exposures to deposits with financial institutions and sundry receivables. Credit risk is managed and reviewed regularly by key executives. The key executives monitor credit risk by actively assessing the rating quality and liquidity of counter parties: only banks and financial institutions with an ‘A’ rating are utilised; and all other entities are rated for credit worthiness taking into account their size, market position and financial standing. At 30 June 2020, there was no concentration of credit risk, other than bank balances. Foreign Currency Risk The Group is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies arising from the purchase of goods and services in currencies other than the relevant entity's functional currency. Financial assets and liabilities exist for the Group's Zimbabwe and Mozambique operations, and thus there is exposure to the US Dollars and Mozambique New Metical. As this risk is minor, it is not hedged. At reporting date, the net foreign currency risk (stated in $AUD) was $304 (2019 $1,363).

Page 62 Material uncertainty related to going concern We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report which describes the events and/or conditions which give rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. 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. In addition to the matter described in the Material uncertainty related to going concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. Carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets Key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit Refer to Note 8 in the financial report. The Group carries exploration and evaluation assets as at 30 June 2020 in relation to the application of the Group’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation assets. The recoverability of exploration and evaluation asset is a key audit matter due to the significance of the total balance and the level of procedures undertaken to evaluate management’s application of the requirements of AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources in light of any indicators of impairment that may be present. Our procedures included, but were not limited to the following: • • • Obtaining evidence that the Group has valid rights to explore in the areas represented by the capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure by obtaining supporting documentation such as license agreements and also considering whether the Group maintains the tenements in good standing Making enquiries of management with respect to the status of ongoing exploration programs in the respective areas of interest. Enquiring of management, reviewing ASX announcements and reviewing directors’ minutes to ensure that the Group has not decided to discontinue activities in any applicable areas of interest, and to assess whether there are any other facts or circumstances that existed to indicate impairment.

The Board guides and monitors the business and affairs of Tempest Minerals Ltd on behalf of the shareholders by whom they are elected and to whom they are accountable. Tempest Minerals Ltd’s Corporate Governance Statement (which can be found on the Company’s website www.tempestminerals.com) is structured with reference to the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) Corporate Governance Council’s (the “Council”) “Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations, 3rd Edition”, which are as follows: Principle 1 Principle 2 Principle 3 Principle 4 Principle 5 Principle 6 Principle 7 Principle 8 Lay solid foundations for management and oversight Structure the board to add value Act ethically and responsibly Safeguard integrity in corporate reporting Make timely and balanced disclosure Respect the rights of security holders Recognise and manage risk Remunerate fairly and responsibly A copy of the eight Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations can be found on the ASX’s website. The Board is of the view that, during the reporting period, with the exception of the departures from the ASX Guidelines as set out below, it otherwise complies with all of the ASX Guidelines. Roles and Responsibilities of the Board and Management ASX CGC Principle 1 Lay solid foundations for management and oversight. Role of the Board The Board of Directors is pivotal in the relationship between shareholders and management and the role and responsibilities of the Board underpin corporate governance. The Board is committed to administering the policies and procedures with openness and integrity, pursuing the true spirit of corporate governance commensurate with the Group’s needs. Generally, the powers and obligations of the Board are governed by the Corporations Act and the general law. Without limiting those matters, the Board expressly considers itself responsible for the following: Ensuring compliance with the Corporations Act, ASX Listing Rules (where appropriate) and all relevant laws; Oversight of the Group including its framework of control and accountability systems to enable risk to be assessed and managed; Appointing and removing the chief executive officer; Ratifying the appointment and, where appropriate, removal of senior executives including the chief financial officer and the Group secretary; Input into and final approval of management’s development of corporate strategy and performance objectives; Monitoring senior executive’s performance and implementation of strategy; Ensuring appropriate resources are available to senior executives; Approving and monitoring the progress of major capital expenditure, capital management and acquisitions and divestitures; Approving and overseeing Committees where appropriate to assist in the Board’s function and powers. Page 66 TEMPEST MINERALS LTD - ACN 612 008 358 ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Corporate Governance Statement The Functions, Powers and Responsibilities of the Board are set out in the Company’s Corporate Governance Charter which is available from the corporate governance section of the Company’s website. The board meets on a regular basis to review the performance of the Company against its goals both financial and non-financial. In normal circumstances, prior to the scheduled board meetings, each board member is provided with a formal board package containing appropriate management and financial reports. Appropriate background checks are conducted on proposed new directors and material information about a director being re-elected is provided to security holders. Written agreements are entered in to with directors and senior management clearly setting out their roles and responsibilities. The company secretary works directly with the chair and the executive director on the functioning of all board and committee procedures. Diversity The Group is committed to workplace diversity and ensuring a diverse mix of skills amongst its directors, officers and employees. Recommendation 1.5 requires that listed entities should establish a policy concerning diversity. Whilst the Group does not currently have a Diversity policy due to its size and nature of its operations, it strives to attract the best person for the position regardless of gender, age, ethnicity or cultural background. As at 30 June 2020, the number of men and women in the whole organisation is a follows: Male Female Board Members Officers Other 5 1 0 0 0 0 Performance Evaluation The Board (in carrying out the functions of the Remuneration and Nomination Committees) considers remuneration and nomination issues annually and otherwise as required in conjunction with the regular meetings of the Board. No formal performance evaluations of the Board or management were undertaken during the year ended 30 June 2020. Board Composition ASX CGC Principle 2 Structure of the Board to add value Nomination Committee Recommendation 2.1 requires the Board to establish a nomination committee. Although the Board has adopted a Nominations Committee Charter, the Board has not formally established a Nominations Committee as the Directors consider that the Company is currently not of a size nor are its affairs of such complexity as to justify the formation of this Committee. The Board as a whole is able to address these issues and is guided by the Nominations Committee Charter. The Company will review this position annually and determine whether a Nominations Committee needs to be established. The Nomination Committee Charter is set out in the Company’s Corporate Governance Charter which is available from the corporate governance section of the Group’s website. Page 67 TEMPEST MINERALS LTD - ACN 612 008 358 ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Corporate Governance Statement The Company is developing an appropriate board skills matrix. The skills, experience and expertise relevant to the position of each director who is in office at the date of the Annual Report is detailed in the director’s report. Corporate Governance Council Recommendation 2.4 requires a majority of the Board to be independent Directors. The Corporate Governance Council defines independence as being free from any interest, position, association or relationship that might influence, or reasonably be perceived to influence, in a material capacity to bring independent judgement to bear on issues before the board and to act in the best interests of the entity and its security holders generally. In the context of Director independence, “materiality” is considered from both the Group and the individual Director perspective. The determination of materiality requires consideration of both quantitative and qualitative elements. An item is presumed to be material (unless there is qualitative evidence to the contrary) if it is equal to or greater than 10% of the appropriate base amount. Qualitative factors considered included whether a relationship is strategically important, the competitive landscape, the nature of the relationship and the contractual or other arrangements governing it and other factors which point to the actual ability of the Director in question to shape the direction of the Group. In accordance with the Council’s definition of independence above and the materiality thresholds set, the following Company directors were not considered to be independent and therefore the Group does not currently comply with Recommendation 2.4: Name D. Smith Managing Director Position Reason for non-compliance B. Moller Chairman O. Burchell Non-Executive Director A. Haythorpe S.

Written approval must be obtained from the chair prior to incurring any expense on behalf of the Group. Informal induction is provided to any new directors. Act Ethically and Responsibly ASX CGC Principle 3 Code of Conduct The Directors are subject to certain stringent legal requirements regulating the conduct both in terms of their internal conduct as directors and in their external dealings with third parties both on their own and on behalf of the Group. To assist directors in discharging their duty to the Group and in compliance with relevant laws to which they are subject, the Group has adopted a Corporate Ethics Policy and Corporate Code of Conduct within its Corporate Governance Charter. The Corporate Ethics Policy sets out rules binding Directors in respect of: a Director’s legal duties as an officer of the Company; a Director’s obligations to make disclosures to the ASX and the market generally; and dealings by Directors in shares in the Company.

Safeguard Integrity in Corporate Reporting ASX CGC Principle 4 Audit Committee The Board has established an Audit and Risk Management Committee which operates under a charter approved by the Board.

The members of the Audit and Risk Management Committee are Vincent Mascolo (chairman of the Committee) and Brian Moller. While both members of the Committee are non-executive directors, only Vince Mascolo is considered independent (based on the Council’s definition). While the Committee is chaired by an independent director (Vincent Mascolo), the Company does not presently comply with parts i, ii and iv of Recommendation 4.1. All members of the Audit and Risk Management Committee are considered financially literate in the context of the Company’s affairs. The Audit and Risk Management Committee Charter is set out in the Company’s Corporate Governance Charter which is available from the corporate governance section of the Group’s website. Certification of financial reports The Board ensures it receives the required declarations in writing to the Board that the Company’s financial statements present a true and fair view, in all material aspects, of the Company’s financial condition and operational results and are in accordance with relevant accounting standards, that this is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal compliance and control and that the Company’s risk management and internal compliance and control system is operating efficiently and effectively. This representation is prior to the Director’s approval of the release of the annual and half Page 69 TEMPEST MINERALS LTD - ACN 612 008 358 ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Corporate Governance Statement yearly accounts. This representation is made after enquiry of, and representation by, appropriate levels of management. The Group ensures that its external auditors are present at the AGM to answer any questions with regard to the efficacy of the financial statement audit and the associated independent audit report. Continuance Disclosure ASX CGC Principle 5 Make timely and balanced disclosure The Group duly complies with ASX and ASIC requirements for the timely and accurate reporting of the Group’s financial activities, thus ensuring that the Group has disclosed all information which has a material impact on shareholders. This includes the Annual Financial Report, Interim Financial Report, quarterly cash flows, new and relinquished tenements and changes in directors and shareholder interests and other events which are identified to be material. All ASX announcements are available on the Group’s website. The Company Secretary is responsible for communication with the ASX, including responsibility for ensuring compliance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the ASX Listing Rules and oversight of information distributed to the ASX. Respect The Rights of Security Holders ASX CGC Principle 6 The Board of directors undertakes to ensure that shareholders are informed of all major developments affecting the Group. Information is communicated to shareholders through the annual report, interim financial report, announcements made to the ASX, notices of Annual General and Extraordinary General Meetings, the AGM and Extraordinary General Meetings. The Board encourages full participation of shareholders at Annual and Extraordinary General Meetings to ensure a high level of accountability and identification with the Group’s direction, strategy and goals. In particular, shareholders are responsible for voting on the re-election of directors. The Group also offers shareholders the option to receive ASX announcements and other notices from the Company electronically. Risk Management ASX CGC Principle 7 Recognise and manage risk The Board has established an Audit and Risk Management Committee which operates under a charter approved by the Board. Recommendation 7.1 states that an audit committee should be structured so that it: i. consists only non-executive directors; ii. consists of a majority of independent directors; iii. is chaired by an independent chair, who is not the chair of the Board; and iv. has at least three members. The members of the Audit and Risk Management Committee are Vincent Mascolo (chairman of the Committee) and Brian Moller. While both members of the Committee are non-executive directors, only Vince Mascolo is considered independent (based on the Council’s definition). While the Committee is chaired by an independent director (Vincent Mascolo), the Company does not presently comply with parts i, ii and iv of Recommendation 7.1. All members of the Audit & Rick Management Committee are considered to have sufficient technical, legal and industry experience in the context of the Company’s affairs to properly assess the risks facing the Group. Page 70 TEMPEST MINERALS LTD - ACN 612 008 358 ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Corporate Governance Statement The Company has developed a basic framework for risk management and internal compliance and control systems which cover organisational, financial and operational aspects of the Company’s affairs. Further detail of the Company’s risk management policies can be found within the Audit and Risk Management Committee Charter. Recommendation 7.2 requires that the Board review the Company’s risk management framework and disclose whether such a review has taken place. Business risks are considered regularly by the Board and management at management and Board meetings. A formal report to the Board as to the effectiveness of the management of the Company’s material business risks has not been formally undertaken. The Audit and Risk Management Committee Charter is set out in the Company’s Corporate Governance Charter which is available from the corporate governance section of the Group’s website. The Company does not have a separate internal audit function. The board considers that the Company is not currently of the size or complexity to justify a separate internal audit function, and that appropriate internal financial controls are in place. Such controls are monitored by senior financial management and the Audit and Risk Committee. The Director’s Report sets out some of the key risks relevant to the Company and its operations. Although not specifically defined as such, the risks include economic, environmental and social sustainability risks. As noted above, the Company regularly reviews risks facing the Company and adopts appropriate mitigation strategies where possible. Remuneration ASX CGC Principle 8 Remunerate fairly and responsibly Remuneration Committee The Board has not established a Remuneration Committee which operates under a charter approved by the Board. Although the Board has adopted a Remuneration Committee Charter, the Board has not formally established a Remuneration Committee as the Directors consider that the Company is currently not of a size nor are its affairs of such complexity as to justify the formation of this Committee. The Board as a whole considers themselves to have sufficient legal, corporate, commercial and industry experience in the context of the Company’s affairs to properly assess the remuneration issues required by the Group and is able to address these issues while being guided by the Remuneration Committee Charter. The Company will review this position annually and determine whether a Remuneration Committee needs to be established. The Company believes that given the size and nature of its operations, non-compliance by the Company with Recommendation 8.1 will not be detrimental to the Company. It is the Company’s objective to provide maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality Board and Executive team by remunerating directors and key executives fairly and appropriately with reference to relevant employment market conditions. To assist in achieving this objective, the Board links the nature and amount of executive director’s and officer’s remuneration to the Group’s financial and operations performance. The expected outcomes of the remuneration structure are: retention and motivation of key Executives attraction of quality management to the Group performance incentives which allow executives, management and staff to share the rewards of the success of Tempest Minerals Ltd. For details on the amount of remuneration and all monetary and non-monetary components for Key Management Personnel during the period, please refer to the Remuneration Report within the Directors’ Report. In relation to the payment of bonuses, options, performance rights and other incentive payments, discretion is exercised by the Remuneration Committee and the Board, having regard to the overall performance of Tempest Minerals Ltd and the performance of the individual during the period. Page 71 TEMPEST MINERALS LTD - ACN 612 008 358 ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Corporate Governance Statement There is no scheme to provide retirement benefits to directors other than statutory superannuation. The Remuneration Committee Charter is set out in the Company’s Corporate Governance Charter which is available from the corporate governance section of the Group’s website. Remuneration Policy The Group’s remuneration policy is also further detailed in the Remuneration Report in the Directors Report. Non-Executive Director Remuneration Non-executive directors are remunerated at market rates for time, commitment and responsibilities. Non-executive directors are remunerated by fees as determined by the Board with the aggregate directors’ fee pool limit of $300,000. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non- executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Independent consultancy sources provide advice, as required; ensuring remuneration is in accordance with market practice. Fees for non-executive Directors are not linked to the performance of the Group. However, to align Directors’ interests with shareholders’ interests, the Directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company and are, subject to approval by shareholders, periodically offered options and/or performance rights. The Company has adopted a Trading Policy that includes a prohibition on hedging, aimed at ensuring participants do not enter into arrangements which would have the effect of limited their exposure to risk relating to an element of their remuneration.
