The Company’s principal focus over the year remained the Bygoo tin project, near the old Ardlethan tin mine in southwestern New South Wales. Tin is proving to be a strategically important metal with increasing application in new technologies. Over the year, Thomson completed two rounds of drilling at the Bygoo tin project. Targets were tested at Bygoo North, Bygoo South and beneath intervening historical workings. High-grade tin intersections at shallow depths and of similar tenor to those previously encountered were obtained at both North and South prospects Thomson has also broadened its exploration focus to embrace the Bald Hill tin prospect, 20km south of the Company’s Bygoo prospects (also on EL 8260), and the Harry Smith gold prospect. Both prospects were drilled during the year. Three holes were drilled at Bald Hill and all intersected tin mineralisation at shallow depths; the best intersection being 15m at 0.4% Sn from 19m depth. The Harry Smith prospect shows extensive gold-in-soil anomalism defining two 500m long trends coalescing in the area of the small Harry Smith open-cut. This prospect is interpreted as an Intrusion-Related Gold (IRG) deposit related to the Grong Grong Granite. The Company’s drilling in March 2018 (ASX release March 26, 2018) was focused on the anomaly trending between the Harry Smith and Golden Spray workings. Drilling was successful with all holes intersecting significant gold mineralisation with the stand-out intersection in HSRC004 of 54m at 1.0 g/t Au from a depth of 8m. This intersection includes two higher grade zones – 12m at 2.1 g/t Au and 6m at 1.6 g/t Au. A similar IRG system exists some five kilometres to the southeast and is defined by two lines of historical workings at the Gladstone and Old Belmore. There is no record of drilling on this prospect. Follow-up drilling is planned to commence shortly at Bygoo and Harry Smith. The drilling at Bygoo will further test the three tin greisens discovered to date – two at Bygoo North and one at Bygoo South. The Big Bygoo greisen will also be tested in this program. The gold exploration will include drill testing of the Harry Smith-Golden Spray line and the Silver Spray lode. During the year Kidman Resources (ASX:KDR) and Variscan Mines (ASX:VAR) withdrew from the Browns Reef Project and Achilles Joint Ventures. The tenements involved are now wholly owned by Thomson, although EL7891 was subsequently surrendered. The remaining tenements are at the southern end of the Cobar Basin and are prospective for Cobar-type deposits. Three joint ventures remain in place – Bygoo (ELs 8260 and 8163) with private Canadian investor, BeiSur OstBarat Agency Ltd; Wilga Downs (EL 8136) with Silver City Minerals Limited (ASX:SCI) and Havilah (EL 7391) with Silver Mines Ltd (ASX:SVL). Total cash payments received under the Bygoo JV (see ASX announcement of 5 July 2018) are A$1,500,000 of the $3 million investment required to earn an initial 51%. The option to acquire a further 25% for A$22m remains active. Negotiations with BeiSur OstBarat Agency Ltd towards the end of the financial year resulted in gold targets being excluded from the Bygoo JV agreement, thus allowing Thomson to independently pursue testing of the Harry Smith prospect. The construction of a tin processing plant at Ardlethan, as planned by EOE (No.75) Pty Ltd, has potential synergies for Thomson’s tin projects in the area, however no substantive negotiations have taken place with the proprietors and there is no guarantee that any arrangement would be entered into. The Company has maintained an active exploration program over the year and has expanded its portfolio to include exciting gold opportunities to complement its suite of excellent tin projects. The Ardlethan area offers an immense opportunity for further discoveries of substantial tin resources and we look forward to expanding the resource base in the Bygoo JV area. The Board very much appreciates the strong shareholder support. Our CEO, Mr Eoin Rothery, must come in for special mention. His technical leadership of the Company’s exploration program has been absolutely invaluable. Lindsay Gilligan PSM Chairman 1 > Thomson Resources Ltd Annual Report 2018 Review of Operations Project Activities Bygoo Project – tin Thomson Resources continued to progress the Bygoo tin project, with two new greisens discovered, as well as extending the two known greisens at Bygoo North and Bygoo South. The new greisens at Bygoo North and Bald Hill will contribute to the previous Exploration Target of 0.9 to 1.44 million tonnes at a grade of 0.8 – 1.4% tin with 2,400 to 6,700 tonnes of contained tin (see Thomson’s ASX release 29 July 2016). It should be noted that the potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource, and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource. Drilling is planned to test the validity of this Target and to convert it to resource status. The better drill intersections through the year were – Bygoo North (Main Zone)  19m at 1.0% Sn from 49m depth (BNRC40)   6m at 0.8% Sn from 80m and 7m at 0.7% Sn from 95m (BNRC39) 7m at 0.9% Sn from 124m (BNRC50) Bygoo North (Dumbrells Zone)     8m at 1.2% Sn from 16m depth (BNRC38) 10m at 1.0% Sn from 22m depth (BNRC51) 12m at 0.6% Sn from 26m depth (BNRC44) 8m at 0.8% Sn from 62m (BNRC46) Bygoo South  7m at 1.3% Sn from 22m depth (BNRC35) Bald Hill  15m at 0.4% Sn from 19m depth (BHRC01) For details of drilling see Thomson’s ASX releases of 31 August, 2017, 19 March 2018 and 5 April 2018. The Main Zone at Bygoo North runs east-west, while the newly discovered zone runs north-south through the old Dumbrells pit. Further south the Bygoo South greisen appears to run southeast from the old Smiths historic workings. The fourth new hard-rock tin discovery is at Bald Hill 25km south of Bygoo. This hard-rock mineralisation may have partly contributed to the historically defined alluvial tin resource estimated to contain 2,501,875 tonnes at 524 ppm Sn (0.05%) with an average thickness of 9.5m over a strike length of 1100m, containing 1,300 tonnes of tin metal (details given in Thomson’s ASX release of 30 September 2016). It should be noted that the potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource, and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource. No more recent work has been done to update this resource. The relevance of this historic resource is that it is a significant deposit of tin thought to be sourced by weathering from an as yet undiscovered hard rock deposit in the Bald Hill area. These four discoveries are at the first three prospects tested on EL 8260; several compelling prospects are still to be investigated, particularly at the Big Bygoo group of historic workings, to which Thomson has recently gained an access agreement. Drilling is planned to extend the four known greisens and follow up the new potential. The Bygoo Project comprises two Exploration Licences: EL 8260 surrounding the old Ardlethan Tin Mine and containing the Bygoo prospects and EL 8163 surrounding the historic Gibsonvale alluvial tin workings. The tin mine at Ardlethan was the most productive on the Australian mainland. From its discovery in 1912 until 1986, when mining ceased following a collapse in the price of tin, it processed over 9 million tonnes of ore containing 48,000 tonnes of tin (Paterson, 1990). The Bygoo Project is funded under a “Farm In” agreement with a private Canadian investor. Funds totalling $A1,280,000 were received under the Farm In during the year, bringing the total contributed to $1.5 million. A further $1.5 million is due by 2 > Thomson Resources Ltd Annual Report 2018 Review of Operations April 2019 to earn the investor 51% of the project (see Thomson’s ASX Release of 5 July 2018). At year end Thomson Resources had $800,000 on hand which will be used to progress towards a JORC statement in early 2019. Frying Pan Project – gold Several promising gold occurrences occur on EL 8531 including the historic mines at Mallee Hen and Harry Smith. Five holes for 558m were drilled on EL 8531 near old workings along the 400m strike length of the known lode (see ASX release of 26 March 2018). The standout intersection of 54m at 1.0 g/t Au from 8m depth in HSRC004 suggests strong shallow potential and the occurrence of multiple gold bearing quartz veins. An amendment to the Bygoo Farm In and Joint Venture Agreement excised this EL 8531 from the JV and accordingly it reverted to 100% ownership by Thomson Resources from 5 April 2018. Follow up drilling is planned. Mt Paynter Project – tin and tungsten The Mt Paynter exploration licence (EL 8392) was granted in late 2015. The EL covers a significant tin-tungsten (Sn-W) occurrence at Mt Paynter in southern NSW. Mt. Paynter is within the Lachlan Fold Belt within a similar geological setting to Thomson’s Bygoo project. A small Inferred JORC 2004 Resource was defined on the Main Lode in 2007. This comprises 245,000 tons grading 0.45% tungsten and 0.27% tin (1100 tons of tungsten and 660 tons of tin). This information was prepared and first disclosed under the JORC Code 2004 (details in Thomson Resources release of 30 September 2015). It has not been updated since to comply with the JORC Code 2012 on the basis that the information has not materially changed since it was last reported. There are prospects for additional mineralisation on the main lode with potential to extend to the east and west as well as down dip. There are also several other veins in the area that have not been drill tested. Access is currently being sought under the rules of exploration on Crown Lands. Co-operative Drilling Grants Two grants under the now cancelled New Frontiers Cooperative Drilling program expired during the year. Thomson had been awarded $170,000 direct drilling support for two gold projects - Mt Jacob and Cuttaburra. At Mt Jacob an access arrangement with Crown Lands has not yet been obtained. At Cuttaburra, results from the Southern Thomson Orogen drilling project undertaken by Geoscience Australia and the Geological Survey of NSW on similar magnetic anomalies have not been fully assessed or reported. Joint Ventures Thomson Resources has succeeded in forming partnerships with several companies to fund exploration on lower priority holdings. Silver City Minerals Limited (ASX:SCI) continue to explore at the Wilga Downs project (EL 8136) located approximately 80 kilometres north of Cobar, New South Wales. Silver Mines Limited (ASX:SVL) also progressed the Havilah copper-silver joint venture (EL 7391). During the quarter Kidman Resources (ASX:KDR) and Variscan Mines (ASX:VAR) withdrew from the Browns Reef Project and Achilles Joint Ventures. The tenements involved, now wholly owned by Thomson, are ELs 7746, 7891, 7931 and 8604 (the latter replaced EL 8103). After a review of prospectivity EL7891 was surrendered. The tenement group is prospective for Cobar-type deposits at the southern end of the Cobar Basin. The ELs surround (but do not include) the Browns Reef zinc-lead-copper-silver-gold deposit. The tenement group is prospective for Cobar-type deposits at the southern end of the Cobar Basin. The ELs surround (but do not include) the Browns Reef deposit for which Kidman in December 2014, announced an exploration target consisting of: 27 to 37Mt grading at 1.3-1.4% Zn, 0.6 – 0.7% Pb, 9-10g/t Ag and 0.2-0.3% Cu** ** “The potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.” For details refer to the ASX announcement by Kidman Resources (ticker “KDR”) of 29 December, 2014. 3 > Thomson Resources Ltd Annual Report 2018 Review of Operations Figure 3: Thomson Resources Projects Competent Person The information in this report that relates to Exploration Targets, Exploration Results, Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves is based on information compiled by Eoin Rothery, (MSc), who is a member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists.

Corporate information The financial report of Thomson Resources Ltd (the Company) for the year ended 30 June 2018 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 26 September 2018. Thomson Resources Ltd (the parent) is a company limited by shares, incorporated on 17 July 2009 and domiciled in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange Ltd using the ASX code TMZ. The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Thomson Resources Ltd and its subsidiaries (the Group or Consolidated Entity). The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Company are described in the Directors’ Report. 2. Summary of significant accounting policies Basis of preparation The financial report is a general-purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards. The financial report has been prepared on a historical cost basis. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars. Statement of compliance law. Accounting Standards The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and Interpretations, and complies with other requirements of include Australian the equivalents International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial statements and notes of the Group comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). to Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Thomson Resources Ltd (Thomson or its subsidiaries the Company) and (collectively, the Group) as at 30 June each year. The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. All intercompany balances and transactions, income and expenses and profit and losses resulting from intra- group transactions have been eliminated in full. 17 > Thomson Resources Ltd Annual Report 2018 Non-controlling interests are allocated their share of profit after tax in the statement of comprehensive income and are presented within equity the consolidated statement of financial position, separately from the equity of the owners of the parent. Losses are attributable to the non-controlling interest even if that results in a deficit balance. in Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group. At this date, 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. Property, plant and equipment Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:  Plant and equipment – 5 years. Impairment The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the income statement in the period the item is derecognised. Borrowing costs Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense when incurred. Interest in jointly controlled operations – joint ventures The Group has an interest in exploration joint ventures that are jointly controlled. A joint venture is a contractual arrangement whereby two or more parties undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint control. A jointly controlled operation involves use of assets and other resources of the venturers rather than establishment of a separate entity. The Group recognises its interest in the jointly controlled operations by recognising the assets that it controls and the liabilities that it incurs. The Group also recognises the expenses that it incurs and its share of any income that it earns from the sale of goods or services by the jointly controlled operations. Consolidated Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2018 Purchases and sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame generally established by regulation or convention in the market place are recognised on the trade date, being the date that the Group commits to purchase he asset. Exploration, evaluation, development and restoration costs Exploration and evaluation Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred by or on behalf of the Group is accumulated separately for each area of interest. Such expenditure comprises net direct costs and an appropriate portion of related overhead expenditure, but does not include general overheads or administrative expenditure not having a specific connection with a particular area of interest. Exploration and evaluation costs in relation to separate areas of interest for which rights of tenure are current are brought to account in the year in which they are incurred and carried forward provided that:  Such costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area, or alternatively through its sale.  Exploration and/or evaluation activities in the area have not yet reached a stage which permits a the existence or reasonable assessment of otherwise of economically recoverable reserves. Once a development decision has been taken, all past and future exploration and evaluation expenditure in respect of the area of interest is aggregated within costs of development. Exploration and evaluation – impairment The Directors assess at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset has been impaired and for exploration and evaluation cost whether the above carry-forward criteria are met. Accumulated costs in respect of areas of interest are written off or a provision made in the Income Statement when the above criteria do not apply or when the Directors assess that the carrying value may exceed the recoverable amount. The costs of productive areas are amortised over the life of the area of interest to which such costs relate on the production output basis, provisions would be reviewed and if appropriate, written back. Recoverable amount of assets At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the Group makes a formal estimate of recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Investments initial recognition, All investments are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration given and including acquisition charges associated with the investment. After investments, which are classified as held-for-trading and available-for-sale, are measured at fair value. Gains or losses on investments income held-for-trading are recognised statement. Gains or losses on available-for-sale investments are recognised as a separate component of equity until the investment is sold, collected or otherwise disposed of, or until the investment is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is included in the income statement. the in fixed financial assets with or Non-derivative determinable payments and fixed maturity are classified as held-to-maturity when the Group has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Investments intended to be held for an undefined period are not included long-term investments that are intended to be held-to-maturity, such as bonds, are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. this classification. Other in Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition, over the period to maturity. For investments carried at amortised cost, gains and losses are recognised in income when the investments are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process. For investments that are actively traded in organised financial markets, fair value is determined by reference to Securities Exchange quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the balance sheet date. For investments where there is no quoted market price, fair value is determined by reference to the current market value of another instrument which is is substantially calculated based on the expected cash flows of the underlying net asset base of the investment. the same or 18 > Thomson Resources Ltd Annual Report 2018 Consolidated Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2018 Development Development expenditure incurred by or on behalf of the Group is accumulated separately for each area of interest in which economically recoverable reserves have been identified to the satisfaction of the directors. Such expenditure comprises net direct costs and, in the for exploration and evaluation same manner as expenditure, an appropriate portion of related overhead expenditure having a specific connection with the development property. All expenditure incurred prior to the commencement of commercial levels of production from each development property is carried forward to the extent to which recoupment out of revenue to be derived from the sale of production from the relevant development property, or from the sale of that property, is reasonably assured. No amortisation is provided in respect of development properties until a decision has been made to commence mining. After this decision, the costs are amortised over the life of the area of interest to which such costs relate on a production output basis. Restoration Provisions for restoration costs are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. to settle If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. Trade and other receivables Trade receivables, which generally have 7-30 day terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice for any uncollectible amount amounts. An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off when identified. less an allowance 19 > Thomson Resources Ltd Annual Report 2018 Cash and cash equivalents Cash and short-term deposits in the balance sheet comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of one year or less. For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of any outstanding bank overdrafts, if any. Trade and other payables and provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. is the reimbursement for example under an Where the Group expects some or all of a provision to insurance be reimbursed, contract, recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the income statement net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. Employee entitlements Liabilities for wages and salaries are recognised and are measured as an amount unpaid at the reporting date at current pay rates in respect of an employee’s services up to that date. Current employee contracts do not entitle them to annual leave and long service leave. A liability in respect of superannuation at the current superannuation guarantee rate has been accrued at the reporting date. Share-based payments In addition to salaries, the Group provides benefits to certain employees (including Directors and Key Management personnel) of the Group in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (“equity-settled transactions”). The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they are granted. The fair value of the options is determined by using the Binomial option Consolidated Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2018 pricing model. In valuing transactions settled by way of issue of options, no account is taken of any vesting limits or hurdles, or the fact that the options are not transferable. The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the vesting conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the vesting period). 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 Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. No adjustment likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. The income statement charge or credit for a period represents in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period. the movement is made the for No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is only conditional upon a market condition. In addition, an expense If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, at a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had is not been modified. recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee, as measured at the date of modification. If an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of the cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award and designated a replacement award on the date it is granted, the cancelled and the new award are treated as if there was a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph. The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share except where such dilution would serve to reduce a loss per share. 20 > Thomson Resources Ltd Annual Report 2018 Leases to transfer leases, which Finance the Group substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the lease payments. Lease payments are minimum apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly against income. Capitalised leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term. leases. Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term on the same bases as the lease income. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Revenue Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: Sale of goods Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer and can be measured reliably. Risks and rewards are considered passed to the buyer at the time of delivery of the goods to the customer. Interest Revenue is recognised as the interest accrues (using the effective interest method, which is the rate that receipts exactly discounts estimated through the expected life of the financial instrument) to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. future cash Dividends Revenue is recognised when the shareholders’ right to receive the payment is established. Consolidated Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2018 Income tax Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences:  Except where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.  taxable respect of temporary differences In associated with in subsidiaries, investments associates and interests in joint ventures, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised:  Except where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.  In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with in subsidiaries, investments associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. 21 > Thomson Resources Ltd Annual Report 2018 The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the income statement. Other taxes Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:  Where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable.  Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable included as part of to, receivables or payables in the balance sheet. taxation authority the is Cash flows are included in the Cash Flow Statement on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority, are classified as operating cash flows.

Currency the Both Australian dollars (A$). functional and presentation currency is Investment in controlled entities The Company’s investment in its controlled entities is accounted for under the equity method of accounting in the Company’s financial statements. Impairment of assets The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. Consolidated Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2018 inflows that are An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset largely does not generate cash independent of those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset’s value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash-generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. that rate In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre- reflects current market tax discount assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset unless the asset is carried at revalued amount (in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease). An assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the is estimated. A previously recoverable amount recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. The increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net loss been of depreciation, had no recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life. impairment Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are: 22 > Thomson Resources Ltd Annual Report 2018 Share-based payment transactions The Group measures the cost of cash-settled share- based payments at fair value at the grant date using the Binomial formula taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted, as detailed in Note 13.

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. Earnings per share Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the Group, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares.

Under the terms of the agreements, other companies are required to contribute towards exploration and other costs if they wish to maintain or increase their percentage holdings. The joint ventures are not separate legal entities. There are contractual arrangements between the participants for sharing costs and future revenues in the event of exploration success. There are no assets and liabilities attributable to the Company at the balance date resulting from these joint ventures other than exploration expenditure costs carried forward as detailed in Note 8 and a contingent liability under the Bohuon Success Fee Agreement as detailed in Note 20. Costs are accounted for in accordance with the terms of joint venture agreements and in accordance with Note 2.

This information is disclosed in Note 8 of this financial report. No segment revenues are disclosed as each exploration tenement is not at a stage where revenues have been earned. Furthermore, no segment costs are disclosed as all segment expenditure is capitalised, with the exception of expenditure written off which is disclosed in Note 8. 31 > Thomson Resources Ltd Annual Report 2018 Consolidated Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2018 Financial information about each of these tenements is reported to the Chief Executive Officer on an ongoing basis. Corporate office activities are not allocated to operating segments as they are not considered part of the core operations of any segment and comprise of the following:  Interest revenue.  Corporate costs.  Depreciation and amortisation of non-project specific property, plant and equipment. The Company’s accounting policy for reporting segments is consistent with that disclosed in Note 2. 20. Contingent liabilities The Group has provided guarantees totalling $130,000 (2017: $110,000) in respect of exploration tenements in NSW as at 30 June 2018. These guarantees in respect of exploration tenements are secured against term deposits with a banking institution and cash held by the NSW Department of Planning and Environment – Resources and Energy. The Company does not expect to incur any material liability in respect of the guarantees. 21. Financial instruments The Board as a whole is responsible for reviewing the Company’s policies on risk oversight and management and satisfying itself that Senior Management have developed and implemented a sound system of risk management and internal control. The Company’s risk management policy has been designed to identify, assess, monitor and manage material business risks to ensure effective management of risk. These policies are reviewed regularly to reflect material changes in market conditions and the Company’s risk profile. The main risks identified in the Company’s financial instruments are capital risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk and commodity price risk. Summarised below is information about the Company’s exposure to each of these risks, their objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, the management of capital and financial instruments. Capital risk management The Company manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern. The Board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the Company. In order to achieve this objective, the Company seeks to maintain a sufficient funding base to enable the Company to meet its working capital and strategic investment needs. The Board ensures costs are not incurred in excess of available funds and will seek to raise additional funding through the issue of shares for the continuation of the Company’s operations when required. The Company considers its capital to comprise of its ordinary share capital, option reserve and accumulated losses. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the period. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. Financial risk management objectives In common with all other businesses, the Company is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. This note describes the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them. Further quantitative information in respect of these risks is presented throughout these financial statements. During the period there have been no substantive changes in the Company’s exposure to financial instrument risks, its objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks or the methods used to measure them from previous periods unless otherwise stated in this note. The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the Company’s risk management objectives and policies and, whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them it has delegated the authority for designing and operating processes that ensure the effective implementation of the objectives and policies to the Company’s finance function. The Company’s risk management policies and objectives are designed to minimise the potential impacts of these risks on the 32 > Thomson Resources Ltd Annual Report 2018 Consolidated Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2018 results of the Company where such impacts may be material. The Board receives regular reports from the Financial Controller through which it reviews the effectiveness of the processes put in place and the appropriateness of the objectives and policies it sets. These risks include credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk and commodity price risk. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge these risk exposures. The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the Company’s competitiveness and flexibility. Further details regarding these risks are set out below. Credit risk Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Company mitigates credit risk on cash and cash equivalents by dealing with banks that have high credit-ratings assigned by Standard and Poors. There are two counterparties for Cash and Cash equivalents which are Commonwealth Bank of Australia and Bank of Western Australia Limited. Credit risk of receivables is low as it consists predominantly of GST recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office and interest receivable from deposits held with regulated banks. The maximum exposure to credit risk at balance date is as follows: Cash and cash equivalents Receivables Deposit with bank Liquidity risk 2018 $ 802,650 12,366 130,000 945,016 2017 $ 146,345 10,361 110,000 266,706 Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligation as they fall due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due. Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk rests with the Board of Directors, who have built an appropriate risk management framework for the management of the Company’s short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity requirements. The Company manages liquidity by maintaining adequate cash reserves by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. The following table details the Company’s contractual maturities of financial liabilities: Financial liabilities 2018 Payables 2017 Payables Carrying amount $ 93,386 93,386 78,693 78,693 <12 months $ 1-3 years $ >3 years $ 93,386 93,386 78,693 78,693 - - - - - - - - 33 > Thomson Resources Ltd Annual Report 2018 Consolidated Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2018 The following table details the Company’s expected maturity for financial assets: Financial assets 2018 Cash at bank and term deposits Receivables Deposit with bank 2017 Cash at bank and term deposits Receivables Deposit with bank Interest rate risk Carrying amount $ 802,650 12,366 130,000 945,016 146,345 10,361 110,000 266,706 <12 months $ 1-3 years $ >3 years $ 802,650 12,366 10,000 825,016 146,345 10,361 - 156,706 - - - - - - - - - - 120,000 120,000 - - 110,000 110,000 The Company’s exposure to the risks of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s cash holdings and short term deposits. These financial assets with variable rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. All other financial assets and liabilities in the form of receivables and payables are non-interest bearing. The Company does not engage in any hedging or derivative transactions to manage interest rate risk.

This risk arises from its activities directed at exploration and development of mineral commodities. If commodity prices fall, the market for companies exploring for these commodities is affected. The Company does not hedge its exposures. Net fair value of financial assets and liabilities The carrying amount of financial assets and liabilities of the Company approximate their net fair values, given the short time frames to maturity and or variable interest rates. 22. Commitments Exploration licence expenditure requirements In order to maintain the Company’s tenements in good standing with the various mines departments, the Company will be required to incur exploration expenditure under the terms of each licence. Exploration licences renewed or granted in NSW after 1 July 2017 have no exploration expenditure commitment. These commitments are not binding as exploration tenements can be reduced or relinquished at any time.

This declaration has been made after receiving the declarations required to be made to the Directors in accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act 2001 for the financial year ending 30 June 2018. (b) (c) (d) On behalf of the Board Lindsay Gilligan PSM Chairman Sydney, 26 September 2018 37 > Thomson Resources Ltd Annual Report 2018 Independent Auditor’s Report Independent Auditor’s Report To the members of Thomson Resources Ltd Report on the Financial Report Opinion We have audited the accompanying financial report of Thomson Resources Ltd (the company and its subsidiaries) (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statements of financial position as at 30 June 2018, the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statements of changes in equity and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, 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 2018 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and (ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We 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. In addition to the matter described in 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. 38 > Thomson Resources Ltd Annual Report 2018 Independent Auditor’s Report Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Capitalised Deferred Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure $2.4m Refer to Note 8 The consolidated entity owns the rights to several exploration licences in New South Wales. Expenditure relating to these areas is capitalised and carried forward to the extent they are expected to be recovered through the successful development of the respective area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves. This area is a key audit matter due to: • • • The significance of the balance; The inherent uncertainty of the recoverability of the amount involved; and The substantial amount of audit work performed. Our audit procedures included amongst others: • • • Assessing whether any facts or circumstances exist that may indicate impairment of the capitalised assets; Performing detailed testing of source documents to ensure capitalised expenditure was allocated to the correct area of interest; Performing detailed testing of source documents to ensure expenditure was capitalised in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards; • Obtaining external confirmations to ensure the • exploration licences are current and accurate; and Assessing the reasonableness of the capitalisation of the employee’s salary. Other Information The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Directors' Responsibility for the Financial Report The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor’s Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. As part of an audit in accordance with 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. 39 > Thomson Resources Ltd Annual Report 2018 Independent Auditor’s Report • • • • 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 and 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, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. 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 We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors' report for the year ended 30 June 2018. In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Thomson Resources Limited for the year ended 30 June 2018 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.
