ANNUAL REPORT 2019 DIRECTORS Ms Katina Law (Chair) Mr David Lawrence Hughes (Lorry) Ms Kelly Amanda Ross COMPANY SECRETARY Mrs Bianca Taveira PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS 159 Stirling Highway Nedlands WA 6009 Telephone +61 8 9389 9021 www.yandalresources.com.au REGISTERED OFFICE 159 Stirling Highway Nedlands WA 6009 SHARE REGISTRY AUDITORS STOCK EXCHANGE LISTING Boardroom Pty Limited Level 12 225 George Street Sydney NSW 2000 Telephone 1300 737 760 Rothsay Auditing Level 1 Lincoln House 4 Ventnor Avenue West Perth WA 6005 Telephone + 61 8 9486 7094 Australian Securities Exchange Home Exchange: Perth Code: YRL REVIEW OF OPERATIONS The principal activities of the Company are mineral exploration in the North-Eastern and Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia. The Company is targeting the discovery of large structurally controlled Archaean Lode gold or Orogenic gold mineralisation such as the nearby Jundee, Bronzewing, Cockburn-Lotus, Centenary-Darlot and Kanowna Belle gold deposits. Regional map of the Company’s gold projects, greenstone belts, regional towns and significant gold deposits. Exploration programs during the year accelerated significantly after the successful capital raising and ASX listing in December 2018. Geological data compilation, targeting and drill design dominated the first half of the year with Air-core and reverse circulation (“RC”) drilling and Resource compilation activities dominating the second half. Significant gold results were returned from all prospects tested and provided the Company with strong encouragement to expand its programs. Drilling was particularly successful at the Ironstone Well project (Flushing Meadows and Flinders Park prospects) and at the Gordons project (Gordons Dam prospect). The Company completed over 15,000m of Air-core and RC drilling and in most cases improved the prospectivity and potential of the prospects to host significant gold deposits. Ironstone Well Project The majority of exploration drilling was completed at the Flushing Meadows prospect with smaller reconnaissance programs completed at the Flinders Park, Quarter Moon and Oblique prospects. The Flushing Meadows initial exploration programs were completed to confirm the location and grade of historic gold intercepts, provide quality assurance and quality control data followed by reconnaissance Air-core drilling along strike. Both programs returned favourable results and major Resource style RC drilling programs were undertaken which culminated in the compilation of an initial Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) for the deposit. The MRE was completed subsequent to the end of the financial year, released to the ASX on the 24 September 2019 and is summarised as follows; September 2019 Flushing Meadows Mineral Resource Estimate (0.5g/t Au Lower Grade Cut-off). For full details of the MRE (refer Yandal Resources Ltd’s ASX announcement dated 24 September 2019).

The MRE contains a higher-grade component of 2.8Mt @ 1.63g/t Au for 147,000oz (> 1.0g/t Au lower cut-off grade) with numerous mineralisation envelopes open at depth. The majority of the MRE reports to the Inferred Resource Category and it is likely that with infill drilling to nominal spacing of 20-25m a large portion could be upgraded to the higher confidence Indicated Resource Category. In addition, approximately 0.4Mt of material has been modelled >0.5g/t Au within the mineralisation wireframes that have insufficient data density to be included in a Resource Category. A number of these areas will be targeted for infill and extensional RC drilling early next year. Upon evaluation of the results from Flushing Meadows and adjacent areas it became apparent that there is significant potential to discover new gold mineralisation along strike on the Barwidgee Shear as a large portion of historic exploration is considered to have been ineffective. The Company’s strategy going forward at the Ironstone Well project is to target an expansion of the Flushing Meadows gold deposit as mineralisation is open particularly at depth. There is potential to intercept further mineralisation by following up intercepts including; 10m @ 1.62g/t Au from 98m, 2m @ 7.07g/t Au from 34m, 18m @ 2.26g/t Au from 91m, 23m @ 1.77g/t Au from 47m and 26m @ 1.06g/t Au from 38m (Refer to Yandal Resources Ltd announcement dated 14 August 2019). Along strike and adjacent to the Flushing Meadows deposit small reconnaissance style drilling programs were conducted at the Flinders Park, Oblique and Quarter Moon prospects to confirm historic mineralisation. Good results were returned and in particular from RC drilling at Flinders Park including; 15m @ 2.03g/t Au from 77m and 26m @ 1.69g/t Au from 38m (Refer to Yandal Resources Ltd announcements dated 20 December 2018 and 4 July 2019). The 12km strike zone along the Barwidgee Shear Zone between Flinders Park in the south and the Oblique prospect in the north will be a key focus area for Resource growth and discovery going forward. Historic Resources have been defined at the Oblique and Quarter Moon prospects and the mineralisation is open and under-explored providing the Company with walk up exploration targets. Key exploration activities completed during the year at the Ironstone Well project included;  Exploratory and Resource RC drilling to improve geological understanding and demonstrate size potential of the Flushing Meadows deposit within the currently defined 1.8km strike zone;  Maiden MRE for Flushing Meadows;  Air-core drilling up to 800m along strike north west from Flushing Meadows deposit area returned significant results requiring follow-up drilling;  Reconnaissance drilling at the Flinders Park (Air-core and RC), Quarter Moon (Air-core) and Oblique (Air-core) prospects to confirm historic mineralisation and generate new targets for follow-up;  Reinterpretation of regional airborne geophysical data and field investigations including the prospective Barwidgee Shear Zone in preparation for follow-up Air-core drilling traverses.

Oblique Prospect E53/1882 E53/1963 Quarter Moon Prospect Flushing Meadows Deposit Moiler Thrust Flinders Park Prospect In addition, a number of early stage development activities were commenced in order to provide scoping and feasibility study data for potential mining operations. These include;  Metallurgical test work on available RC samples from a number of depth intervals across Flushing Meadows;  Flora and Fauna Surveys;  Preliminary geotechnical and hydrogeological studies. To advance the prospect further over the next year the Company intends to commence Heritage Surveys, additional Mining Lease applications, advanced metallurgical studies, mine design, a mining proposal and mine closure plan.

Barwidgee Project At the Barwidgee project which is contiguous with the Ironstone Well project, exploration activities focussed on small RC and Air-core drilling programs at the Rosewall prospect with database compilation and exploration targeting at a number of other prospects in the Sims Find and Coppan areas. Encouraging results were returned from Rosewall and follow-up is required. Intercepts included; 10m @ 2.41g/t Au from 0m, 18m @ 1.00g/t Au from 6m and 1m @ 0.55g/t Au from 1m (Refer to Yandal Resources Ltd announcements dated 21 March and 4 July 2019). New soil sampling programs were initiated at the end of the reporting period to the north east of Sims Find with results yet to be returned. Mt McClure Project The Mt McClure project contains a number of historic prospects and open pit mines within a short haulage distance on existing haul roads from the 2Mtpa Bronzewing processing facility owned by Echo Resources Ltd (ASX: EAR). During the year exploration activities were focussed on confirming historic mineralisation, defining new exploration targets and assessing the potential for the definition of Mineral Resources. Confirmation RC drilling was completed at the Challenger Way South prospect which intersected the targeted mineralised structures however returned low grades (Refer to Yandal Resources Ltd announcement dated 20 December 2018). Further drilling is required as historic data suggests there is potential to define a small Mineral Resource. Two deep RC holes for 378m were completed beneath the south end of the Success open pit and were designed to intersect potential south plunging high grade mineralisation within volcanogenic sediments. Both holes appeared to intersect the intended target horizon however, low grades were also returned including 9m @ 0.74g/t Au from 180m and 2m @ 2.59g/t Au from 68m (Refer to Yandal Resources Ltd announcement dated 1 April 2019). Further drilling is planned at Success and at other historic mining areas within the project as historic data suggests there is potential to define significant Mineral Resources at beneath predominantly oxide open pits. Gordons Gold Project The most advanced prospect within the project is Gordons Dam which is located 36km north east of Kalgoorlie-Boulder and 24km north along strike from the Kanowna Belle mining centre. To date the Company has discovered significant gold mineralisation within clays and palaeochannel sediments over a 400m strike zone. Importantly RC drilling to explore for the primary source of the oxide mineralisation returned exciting intercepts from structurally controlled mafic and porphyry rock types including; 15m @ 0.95g/t Au from 80m, 8m @ 1.16g/t Au from 100m and 3m @ 2.61g/t Au from 89m. Follow-up Air-core drilling to expand the target area provided further encouragement with significant mineralisation returned from multiple bottom of hole samples including; 7m @ 0.56g/t Au from 49m, 1m @ 0.46g/t Au from 45m, 1m @ 0.80g/t Au from 40m, 5m @ 2.44g/t Au from 40m and 7m @ 0.71g/t Au from 48m (Refer to Yandal Resources Ltd announcement dated 6 May 2019). To better define the size of the target along strike a sub-audio magnetic geophysical survey was undertaken with results received in August 2019. The survey generated eight new targets and follow-up drilling programs have been designed for completion in the September quarter 2019. In addition, a number of holes will test beneath old workings and anomalous rock chip samples at the Lady Clara and Dickens Custer prospects respectively.

Remuneration Report (Audited) The information provided in this remuneration report has been audited as required by section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. A Principles Used to Determine Amount and Nature of Remuneration All remuneration paid to Directors and Executives is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed. Shares given to Directors and Executives are valued as the difference between the market price of those shares and the amount paid by the Director or Executive. Options are valued using the Black-Scholes or Binomial methodologies. The Board policy is to remunerate Non-Executive Directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The Board determines payments to the Non-Executive Directors and reviews their remuneration annually based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. 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 (currently $300,000). Fees for Non-Executive Directors are not linked to the performance of the Company. However, to align Directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the Directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company and are able to participate in employee option plans. The objective of the Company’s executive reward framework is set to attract and retain the most qualified and experienced Directors and Senior Executives. The Board ensures that executive reward satisfies the following criteria for good reward governance practices:     competitiveness and reasonableness acceptability to shareholders transparency capital management Directors’ Fees A Director may be paid fees or other amounts as the Directors determine where a Director performs special duties or otherwise performs services outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a Director. A Director may also be reimbursed for out of pocket expenses incurred as a result of their directorship or any special duties. Performance Based Remuneration The Company uses both short term and long term incentive programs to balance the short and long term aspects of business performance, to reflect market practice, to attract and retain key talent and to ensure a strong alignment between the incentive arrangements of Executives and the creation and delivery of shareholder return. Executives are encouraged by the Board to hold shares in the Company and it is therefore the Company’s objective to provide incentives for participants to partake in the future growth of the Company and, upon becoming shareholders in the Company, to participate in the Company’s profits and dividends that may be realised in future years. The Board considers that this equity performance linked remuneration structure is effective in aligning the long-term interests of Company executives and shareholders as there exists a direct correlation between shareholder wealth and executive remuneration. Company Performance, Shareholder Wealth and Directors’ and Executives’ Remuneration The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase goal congruence between shareholders, Directors and Executives. This is facilitated through the issue of options or performance rights to Directors and Executives to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests. The Company believes this policy will be effective in increasing shareholder wealth.

Yandal Resources Limited is a Company limited by shares incorporated and domiciled in Australia. 1a Significant accounting policies Statement of compliance Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. The financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. Basis of preparation The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. The financial report has been prepared on an accrual basis and is based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. Material accounting policies adopted in preparation of this financial report are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated. The presentation currency is Australian dollars. New accounting standards and interpretations In the year ended 30 June 2019, the Company has reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2018. Adoption of new and amended accounting standards A number of new or amended standards became applicable for the current reporting period and the Company had to change its accounting policies as a result of the adoption of the following standards:  AASB 9 Financial Instruments; and  AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The impact of the adoption of these standards and the new accounting policies are disclosed below. The impact of these standards, and the other new and amended standards adopted by the Company, has not had a material impact on the amounts presented in the Company's financial statements. AASB 9 Financial Instruments - Impact of Adoption AASB 9 replaces the provisions of AASB 139 that relate to the recognitions, classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, derecognition of financial instruments, impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting. The adoption of AASB 9 from 1 July 2018 resulted in no material changes in accounting policies and adjustments to the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The Company assessed which business models apply to the financial assets held by the Company and has classified its financial instruments into the appropriate AASB 9 categories. There was no impact on the amounts recognised in the financial statements as a result of adoption. AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Impact of Adoption The Company has adopted AASB 15 from 1 July 2018 which has no material impact to the amounts recognised in the financial statements. New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Company for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2019. The Company’s assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the Company, are set out below. AASB 16 Leases This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The standard replaces AASB 117 'Leases' and for lessees will eliminate the classifications of operating leases and finance leases. Subject to exceptions, a 'right-of-use' asset will be capitalised in the statement of financial position, measured as the present value of the unavoidable future lease payments to be made over the lease term. The exceptions relate to short-term leases of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets (such as personal computers and small office furniture) where an accounting policy choice exists whereby either a 'right-of-use' asset is recognised or lease payments are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. A liability corresponding to the capitalised lease will also be recognised, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of any future restoration, removal or dismantling costs. Straight-line operating lease expense recognition will be replaced with a depreciation charge for the leased asset (included in operating costs) and an interest expense on the recognised lease liability (included in finance costs). In the earlier periods of the lease, the expenses associated with the lease under AASB 16 will be higher when compared to lease expenses under AASB 117. However EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation) results will be improved as the operating expense is replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit or loss under AASB 16. For classification within the statement of cash flows, the lease payments will be separated into both a principal (financing activities) and interest (either operating or financing activities) component. For lessor accounting, the standard does not substantially change how a lessor accounts for leases. The Company will adopt this standard from 1 July 2019 but the impact of its adoption is yet to be assessed by the Company. The Company has also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the year ended 30 June 2019. As a result of this review the Directors have determined that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change is necessary to Company accounting policies. Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty In the application of IFRS, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstance, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. i) Significant accounting judgements In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements: Capitalisation of exploration and evaluation expenditure The Company has capitalised significant exploration and evaluation expenditure on the basis either that this is expected to be recouped through future successful developments (or alternatively sale) of the Areas of Interest concerned or on the basis that it is not yet possible to assess whether it will be recouped. As at 30 June 2019, the carrying value of capitalised exploration expenditure is $2,207,224. ii) Significant accounting estimates and assumptions The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often 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: Impairment of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent on a number of factors, including whether the Company decides to exploit the related lease itself or, if not, whether it successfully recovers the related exploration and evaluation asset through sale. Factors that could impact the future recoverability include the level of reserves and resources, future technological changes, costs of drilling and production, production rates, future legal changes (including changes to environmental restoration obligations) and changes to commodity prices. 1b Income Tax The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the national income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively enacted for each jurisdiction. The relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences to measure the deferred tax asset or liability. An exception is made for certain temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability. No deferred tax asset or liability is recognised in relation to these temporary differences if they arose in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity. The charge for current income tax expense is based on the profit for the year adjusted for any non-assessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using the tax rates that have been enacted or are substantially enacted by the reporting date. 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 Company will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law. 1c Trade and Other Receivables Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less provision for doubtful debts. Trade receivables are due for settlement no more than 30 days from the date of recognition. Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts that are known to be uncollectible are written off. A provision for bad debts is established when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of the provision is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. 1d Trade and Other Payables These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid, together with assets ordered before the end of the financial year. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. 1e Cash and Cash Equivalents For statement of cash flows presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position. 1f Comparative Figures Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to the presentation in the current year. 1g Borrowings Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities, which are not incremental costs relating to the actual draw-down of the facility, are recognised as prepayments and amortised on a straight-line basis over the term of the facility. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date. 1h Goods and Services Tax Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated goods and services tax (GST), unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position. Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows. 1i Contributed Equity Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options for the acquisition of a business are not included in the cost of acquisition as part of the purchase consideration. If the entity reacquires its own equity instruments, eg as the result of a share buy-back, those instruments are deducted from equity and the associated shares are cancelled. No gain or loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income and the consideration paid including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is recognised directly in equity. 1j Impairment of Assets Assets and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash flows from other assets or groups of assets (cash- generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date. 1k Earnings per Share (i) Basic earnings per share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year. (ii) Diluted earnings per share Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares. 1l Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage which permits reasonable assessment of the economically recoverable reserves. Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against operating results 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 classified as development costs and amortised over the life of the project area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves. Where independent valuations of areas of interest have been obtained, these are brought to account. Subsequent expenditure on re-valued areas of interest is accounted for in accordance with the above principles. A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest. At 30 June 2019 the Directors considered that the carrying value of the mineral tenement interests of the consolidated entity was as shown in the Statement of Financial Position and no further impairment arises other than that already recognised. 1m Revenue Recognition Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Revenue is recognised for major business activities as follows: (i) Interest Income Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets. (ii) Other Services Other debtors are recognised at the amount receivable and are due for settlement within 30 days from the end of the month in which services were provided. 1n Share-Based Payments Share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees via the Company’s Employee Incentive Plans. The incentive plans consist of the short term and long term incentive plans for Executive Directors and other Executives and the employee share scheme for all other employees. The fair value of rights granted under the short term and long term incentive plans is recognised as an employee benefits expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the rights granted, which includes any market performance conditions and the impact of any non-vesting conditions but excludes the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions. Non-market vesting conditions and the impact of service conditions are included in assumptions about the number of rights that are expected to vest. The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of rights that are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting and service conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in the statement of comprehensive income, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The initial estimate of fair value for market based and non-vesting conditions is not subsequently adjusted for differences between the number of rights granted and number of rights that vest. When the rights are exercised, the appropriate amount of shares are transferred to the employee. The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited directly to equity. The fair value of deferred shares granted to employees for nil consideration under the employee share scheme is recognised as an expense over the relevant service period, being the year to which the incentive relates and the vesting period of the shares. The fair value is measured at the grant date of the shares and is recognised in equity in the share-based payment reserve. The number of shares expected to vest is estimated based on the non-market vesting conditions. The estimates are revised at the end of each reporting period and adjustments are recognised in profit or loss and the share-based payment reserve. 1o 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 has been identified as the steering committee that makes strategic decisions. The standard requires a ‘management approach’, under which segment information is presented on the same basis as that used for internal reporting purposes. The segments are reported in a manner that is consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Company’s other components. All operating segments’ operating results are regularly reviewed by the Company’s Managing Director to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. Segment results that are reported to the Managing Director include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly corporate assets (primarily the Company’s headquarters), head office expenses, and income tax assets and liabilities. Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to acquire property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets other than goodwill. 2 INCOME AND EXPENSES Revenue from continuing operations: Interest received Other income 2019 $ 2018 $ 51,711 35,062 86,773 - - - Loss before income tax is arrived at after charging the following items: Capitalised exploration expenditure written off 35,614 207,719 3 INCOME TAX Income tax expense Current tax Deferred tax Numerical reconciliation of income tax expense to prima facie tax payable Profit/(loss) before income tax Tax at 27.5% (2018: 27.5%) Tax effect of amounts which are not deductible (taxable) in calculating taxable income: Capitalised exploration expenditure written off Tax effect of exploration expenditure claimed Permanent differences Other timing differences Tax losses not recognised as an asset Income Tax Expense Tax losses and unrecognised temporary differences The Directors estimate that the potential future income tax benefit at 30 June 2019 in respect of tax losses not brought to account is $598,123 (2018: $8,608). This benefit for tax losses will only be obtained if:    the Company derives income of a nature and amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions for the loss to be realised; the Company continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by the law; and no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Company in realising the benefit from the deductions for the losses. - - - - - - (670,115) (239,021) (184,290) (65,731) - 57,123 (367,546) 119,978 (44,639) 476,497 - - - - 8,608 - 4 CURRENT ASSETS – CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash at bank Cash at bank carries a floating interest rate of 2% (2018: 0%).

Diluted Earnings/(Loss) Per Share Diluted earnings/(loss) per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share by taking into account amounts unpaid on ordinary shares and any change in earnings per share that will probably arise from the exercise of options outstanding during the financial year.

There are no speculative or financial derivative instruments. Funds are invested for various short term periods to match forecast cash flow requirements. The Company holds the following financial instruments: Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents Receivables Financial liabilities Payables 2019 $ 2018 $ 164,000 - - (164,000) 22,143 237,609 - - - - (95,752) 164,000 3,545,670 65,589 3,611,259 52,064 11,559 63,623 277,162 277,162 57,201 57,201 The Company’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and short-term deposits. The Company does not have any borrowings. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to fund the Company’s operations. The main risks arising from the Company are credit risk, capital risk and liquidity risk. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below: (a) Credit risk Management does not actively manage credit risk. The Company has no significant exposure to credit risk from external parties at year end. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is equal to the carrying value of financial assets at 30 June 2019. Cash at bank is held with internationally regulated banks. Other receivables are of a low value and all amounts are current. (b) Capital risk The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. (c) Liquidity risk Maturity profile of financial instruments Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash balances and access to equity funding. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relate primarily to cash assets and floating interest rates. The Company does not have significant interest-bearing assets and is not materially exposed to changes in market interest rates. The Directors monitor the cash-burn rate of the Company on an on-going basis against budget and the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities to manage its liquidity risk. The following table sets out the carrying amount, by maturity, of the financial instruments including exposure to interest rate risk: < 1 month 1 – 3 months 3 months – 1 year 1 – 5 years Over 5 years Total Weighted average effective interest rate % As at 30 June 2019 Financial Assets: Cash Receivables Financial Liabilities: Payables As at 30 June 2018 Financial Assets: Cash Receivables Financial Liabilities: Payables 3,545,670 65,589 3,611,259 277,162 277,162 52,064 11,559 63,623 277,162 277,162 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 3,545,670 65,589 3,611,259 277,162 277,162 52,064 11,559 63,623 277,162 277,162 2% - - - - 0% - - - - Sensitivity analysis – interest rates The sensitivity effect of possible interest rate movements have not been disclosed as they are immaterial.
