The Company is targeting the discovery of large structurally controlled Archaean Lode or Orogenic gold deposits such as the very large Jundee, Bronzewing and Kanowna Belle gold mines located nearby. Regional map of the Company’s gold projects, greenstone belts, regional towns and significant gold deposits YANDAL GREENSTONE BELT Exploration drilling during the year successfully intercepted new mineralisation at all projects within the Company’s portfolio and has substantially enhanced the potential for the delineation of a number of new gold deposits. Exploration targeting was also refined to narrow focus onto prospects evaluated to have potential to host large deposits. GORDONS GOLD PROJECT The Gordons Gold project comprises a number of priority prospects within close proximity to the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, ore haulage infrastructure and operating mines. The main exploration focus has been to expand mineralisation along strike and at depth at the Gordons Dam, Malone and Star of Gordons prospects.

During the year, substantial reverse circulation (“RC”) and diamond drilling was completed to explore for mineralisation in primary rocks and to understand the controls on mineralisation. The highest gold grades at depth occur within sulphide accumulations and steeply dipping north-south striking narrow quartz veins within basalts and an intrusive granite porphyry unit. The primary mineralisation is structurally complex and a detailed study on the controls to high-grade mineralisation is underway. Compilation of an initial Mineral Resource Estimate and economic assessment is planned during 2021/22. Regional geology plan showing drilling at the Gordons Dam and Malone prospects Gordon Dam Prospect Malone Contact 1 Refer to YRL ASX Announcement dated 11 August 2021. GORDONS GOLD PROJECT continued Some significant results returned from the Gordons Dam oxide zone include; ▪ 8m @ 11.0g/t Au from 36m including 1m @ 73.1 g/t Au (YRLRC0335)1 ▪ 7m @ 3.5g/t Au from 38m including 1m @ 15.1g/t Au (YRLRC0337)1 ▪ 7m @ 1.7g/t Au from 29m including 1m @ 10.3g/t Au (YRLRC0339)1 ▪ 23m @ 1.5g/t Au from 40m including 1m @ 22.03g/t Au (YRLRC0307)2 Subsequent to the success at Gordons Dam, step-out Air-core (“AC”) drilling was conducted in along strike and adjacent areas which resulted in the discovery of the Malone prospect located ~500m to the west of Gordons Dam. Once it was recognised that the mineralisation is related to a major regional geological contact between mafic and felsic rocks units, exploration drilling was accelerated to include one AC, two RC and one diamond rig. Significant oxide and primary gold intercepts were returned from AC and RC drilling over an interpreted strike length of at least 600m in the Malone Contact zone which is interpreted to extend for a total of ~4.5km within the Company’s tenure. Initial significant RC and AC intercepts from Malone have received follow-up diamond and RC drilling along ~4km of strike with numerous results due to be received in 2021/22. Some promising RC results include; ▪ 3m @ 8.2g/t Au from 130m including 1m @ 22.1 g/t Au (YRLRC0579)3 ▪ 5m @ 3.6g/t Au from 47m including 1m @ 12.3g/t Au (YRLRC0584)3 ▪ 18m @ 0.9g/t Au from 94m (YRLRC0583)3 In addition to prioritising exploration drilling along the Malone Contact, reconnaissance AC drilling commenced on another mafic/felsic contact located ~500m east of Gordons Dam. This contact is named the Alderman Contact and it is interpreted to occur for over 8km in strike length within the Company’s tenure. The geological setting of the Alderman Contact is interpreted to be very similar to the Malone Contact and some encouraging early stage intercepts have been returned that require follow-up in 2021/22. A further 3.5km to the east from the Gordons Dam prospect is the Star of Gordons prospect where significant shallow historic mine workings occur less than 2km directly along strike from the Gordon Sirdar gold mine. The mine is owned by FMR Investments Pty Ltd and utilises conventional underground mining methods at vertical depths below 600m with ore haulage to Coolgardie for conventional processing. A first pass reconnaissance RC program was completed in the March Quarter 2021 to test ~1.5km strike length of historic workings and surficial prospecting areas which returned some encouraging results. There were numerous +1g/t Au intercepts in multiple sub- parallel zones with the best results returned from the most northern part of the area tested. These include; ▪ 8m @ 4.7g/t Au from 15m including 6m @ 5.9g/t Au (YRLRC0513)4 ▪ 10m @ 2.5g/t Au from 27m including 2m @ 6.9g/t Au (YRLRC0514)4 The above results are highly encouraging and a six hole follow-up RC program was completed subsequent to the end of the period to explore the mineralisation system at depth and immediately along strike. Given the encouraging results returned from a number of prospects within the Gordons Dam project, aggressive exploration programs to establish deposit size potential are planned for 2021/22. Due to the excellent location of the project in terms of established mining infrastructure, the Company is likely to have a number of good options for mining, haulage and processing if economic Mineral Resources are established. 1 Refer to YRL ASX announcement dated 8 October 2020, 2 Refer to YRL ASX announcement dated 31 August 2020, 3 Refer to YRL ASX announcement dated 11 August 20213, 4 Refer to YRL ASX announcement dated 1 July 2021. IRONSTONE WELL AND BARWIDGEE PROJECTS Exploration during the period included advanced targeting to determine the highest priority areas interpreted to have the potential to host very large gold deposits. Two large areas have been identified that contain recent and historically defined mineralisation which will become the Company’s focus of exploration in the near term. Regional geology plan showing key prospects and tenure at the Ironstone Well and Barwidgee projects (refer to inset figures on pages 7 and 9) Inset Map refer to figure on page 7 Inset Map refer to figure on page 9 Within the Ironstone Well project the priority target zone is the area immediately surrounding the Flushing Meadows gold deposit. The area covers some 160km2 extending north-west from the Flinders Park prospect for ~16km toward the Oblique prospect. The area up to ~10km wide centred on Flushing Meadows includes prospective mafic and felsic rock sequences that have received very little effective exploration. IRONSTONE WELL AND BARWIDGEE PROJECTS continued The Company’s criteria for determining if areas are effectively tested includes if drill holes are angled and drilled to vertical depths greater than 50m. This is to allow for the particularly deep weathering profile noted within the Yandal Greenstone Belt. Once this criteria is applied to the drilling database it can be shown that extensive areas within the priority target zone are not effectively tested. Regional geology plan showing the Flushing Meadows deposit, tenure and ineffectively tested areas along strike and adjacent to significant prospects (refer to figure on page 6 for location) At the Flushing Meadows prospect RC and diamond drilling was completed in order to update the 2019 Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) and to provide sufficient data for inclusion in pit optimisation studies and mining approval activities. The 2020 MRE1 contains a 40% increase in total Resource ounces compared to the 2019 MRE2. The Flushing Meadows deposit is comprised of multiple sub-parallel lenses of predominantly oxide and transitional material to depths of ~100m below surface. The mineralisation is related to the regionally extensive Barwidgee Shear zone and is open at depth and down plunge. Initial engineering studies indicate there is potential for a small open pit mine development utilising off-site third-party processing. Some preparatory works have commenced to support this including applications for Mining and Miscellaneous Licences however, further exploration to assess the potential for a large discovery nearby is the Company’s preferred strategy. 1 Refer to table below and YRL ASX announcement dated 4 November 2020, 2 Refer to YRL ASX announcement dated 31 August 2020. IRONSTONE WELL AND BARWIDGEE PROJECTS continued November 2020 Flushing Meadows Mineral Resource Estimate (0.5g/t Au Lower Grade Cut-off).

Classification is according to JORC Code Mineral Resource Categories. Totals may vary due to rounded figures. • Yandal Resources’ advise that there is no material depletion by mining within the model area. • Estimation was performed using Ordinary Kriging. • The block model was built with 6m north, 3m east and 3m elevation parent block cells. • The Mineral Resource Estimate has been reported based on utilising open pit mining methodologies. Open pit parameters of minimum 2m downhole mineralisation width, and a lower cut grade of 0.5 g/t has been used for interpretation. • Technically the models do not account for mining related edge dilution and ore loss. These parameters should be considered during the mining study as being dependent on grade control, equipment and mining configurations including drilling and blasting. Elsewhere within the Ironstone Well priority target zone limited drilling programs confirmed significant mineralisation that requires substantial follow-up upon completion of heritage surveys and statutory approvals. Assay results were returned from RC drilling at the Flinders Park, Quarter Moon and Oblique prospects, highlights included; ▪ 14m @ 4.4g/t Au from 45m including 1m @ 42.5g/t Au (YRLRC0474)1 – Flinders Park ▪ 13m @ 2.9g/t Au from 36m including 1m @ 21.5g/t Au (YRLRC0473) 1 – Flinders Park ▪ 2m @ 11.7g/t Au from 80m (YRLRC0478) 1 – Quarter Moon ▪ 12m @ 2.1g/t Au from 5m including 1m @ 16.5g/t Au (YRLRC0479) 1 – Quarter Moon ▪ 2m @ 7.1g/t Au from 83m including 1m @ 14.0g/t Au (YRLRC0475)1 – Quarter Moon ▪ 21m @ 0.9g/t Au from 51m including 4m @ 1.9g/t Au (YRLRC0481)1 - Oblique Within the contiguous Barwidgee project a priority target zone that has been identified covering ~40km2 of tenure south of the Sims Find prospect. At Sims Find, RC drilling has intersected significant high-grade gold mineralisation beneath earlier shallow RC intercepts and historic workings. The most recent program completed in the June Quarter 2021 comprised 14 angled RC holes for 2,992m at downhole depths between 136-300m2. The holes were designed to extend earlier high-grade gold intersected in shallow RC drilling completed in the December Quarter 20202. The mineralisation is contained within multiple quartz veins, sulphides and shears hosted within and at the contacts of a coarse-grained dolerite unit including; ▪ 8m @ 24.3g/t Au from 9m including 1m @ 129g/t Au (YRLRC0457)2 ▪ 3m @ 20.8g/t Au from 30m including 1m @ 62.2g/t Au (YRLRC0447)2 ▪ 5m @ 6.5g/t Au from 17m including 1m @ 30.4g/t Au (YRLRC0445)2 ▪ 9m @ 0.8g/t Au from 189m including 2m @ 2.6g/t Au from 195m (YRLRC1003)3 ▪ 1m @ 4.1g/t Au from 58m, 6m @ 1.9g/t Au from 124m including 1m @ 4.4g/t Au from 124m and 1m @ 4.7g/t Au from 129m and 3m @ 1.7g/t Au from 176m including 1m @ 5.0g/t Au from 176m (YRLRC1007)3 1 Refer to YRL ASX announcement dated 9 March 2021, 2 Refer to YRL ASX announcements dated 22 December 2020 and 2 March 2021, 3 Refer to YRL ASX announcements dated 1 July 2021. IRONSTONE WELL AND BARWIDGEE PROJECTS continued Sims Find mineralisation has been confirmed for over 400m of strike and to at least 150m vertical depth with likely extensions over a 2km strike zone which is open at depth and to the south. Upon receipt of all assays from the program new programs will be designed to evaluate the potential for the mineralisation to be related to a large intrusive granite located immediately to the south. The margins of the intrusive granite is a priority target for evaluation as there is mineralisation in limited historic drilling that requires systematic follow-up. This is planned upon completion of heritage surveys and statutory approvals.

The Kultju Aboriginal Corporation is an incorporated body under the Corporations (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) Act 2006 (Cth) and is the Registered Native Title Body Corporate determined to hold native title rights and interests on trust for the Kultju Native Title Holders. Central Desert Native Title Services Limited (“Central Desert”) has been authorised by Kultju Aboriginal Corporation to act as its agent in regard to land access negotiations and agreements. The Company made good progress this year with Central Desert and Kultju regarding heritage protection and land access agreements for ongoing exploration. 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 Northern Star Resources Ltd (ASX: NST). The facility is on care and maintenance however the camp is being utilised by NST to support current mining operations at the nearby Orelia open pit mine. Plan view of the Mt McClure project showing the regional geology, new Mining Leases and the location of key prospects MT MCCLURE PROJECT continued During the year, RC drilling successfully intersected extensions to mineralisation at a number of known prospects and at a new prospect named HMS Sulphur which is situated in the footwall of the Success deposit. Subsequent to the end of the year, the Company commenced major RC drilling program to test a number of high priority targets to maximum depths of ~300m. RC drilling highlights included; ▪ 11m @ 2.6g/t Au from 73m including 1m @ 12.2g/t Au (YRLRC0401)1 – HMS Sulphur ▪ 6m @ 1.6g/t Au from 36m including 1m @ 5.4g/t Au (YRLRC0400) 1 – HMS Sulphur ▪ 2m @ 4.8g/t Au from 178m and 2m @ 5.2g/t Au from 206m (YRLRC0419) 1 – Parmelia Deeps ▪ 5m @ 3.6g/t Au from 84m including 1m @ 8.95g/t Au (YRLRC0410) 1 – Challenger ▪ 19m @ 1.3g/t Au from 39m including 1m @ 5.4g/t Au (YRLRC0418)1 – Challenger ▪ 6m @ 2.8g/t Au from 54m including 1m @ 10.1g/t Au (YRLRC0424)1 – Challenger There is potential to define new mineralisation capable of being included in a MRE upon all three Mining Leases and significant RC and diamond drilling programs are in the advanced planning stages should the current program return further encouraging results. All the historic open pits were mined when gold prices were substantially lower than price ranges seen in recent months.

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. In the year ended 30 June 2021, the Company provided benefits to employees of the Company in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby performance rights convertible to ordinary shares were granted at nil consideration as an employment incentive. The performance rights were issued with vesting conditions, see Note 21 for details. The fair value of the rights was determined using a Hoadley’s Barrier 1 model. A total amount of $9,111 is included in the Statement of Financial Performance and Statement of Changes in Equity for the year ended 30 June 2021. There were no amounts related to KMP. The assessed fair value at grant date of performance rights granted to the individuals is allocated equally over the period from grant date to vesting date. Fair values at grant date are independently determined using a Hoadley’s Barrier 1 model that takes into account the vesting condition of the rights, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the rights. 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.

During the year ended 30 June 2019, the Board were issued options by the Company as incentive to perform their role from the date of ASX listing. The options are linked to future performance of the Company. The fair value of the incentive options issued to key management personnel is $325,850 as determined using the Black-Scholes valuation methodology. The options were granted on 5 October 2018 with an expiry date of 31 December 2021 and an exercise price of $0.25 per option.

Yandal Resources Limited is a Company limited by shares incorporated and domiciled in Australia. (a) 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 The Company has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are mandatory for the current reporting period. These Standards and Interpretations did not have any material impact on these 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 2021. The Company has reviewed the new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the year ended 30 June 2021. 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 2021, the carrying value of capitalised exploration expenditure is $10,422,822. Share based payments - performance rights The Company issued performance rights to their employees during the year ended 30 June 2021 and an amount of $9,111 was expensed as share based payment. Refer to Note 1(n) for the Share-Based Payments accounting policy and Note 21 for details of the performance rights issued. (a) Significant accounting policies (continued) 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. (b) 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 notional 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 substantively 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. (c) Trade and Other Receivables Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less expected credit loss provision. 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 expected credit loss 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. (d) 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. (e) 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 and 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. (f) Comparative Figures Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to the presentation in the current year. (g) 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. (h) 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. (i) 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. (j) Impairment of Assets 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. 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 that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date. (k) 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. (l) 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 2021, 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. (m) 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. (n) 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. (o) 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. (p) Leases The Company assesses at the start of a contract whether or not it contains a lease, by deciding if the contract provides the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company currently uses a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low value assets. The Company recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use underlying assets. i) Right-of-use assets The Company recognises right-of-use assets at the start of the lease and are measured at costs, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any re-measurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets. ii) Lease liabilities At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments less any lease incentives received, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Company and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Company exercising the option to terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expenses (unless they are incurred to produce inventories) in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g. changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset. iii) Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option. It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases that are considered to be low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low- value assets are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. 2 INCOME AND EXPENSES Revenue from continuing operations: ATO cash flow boost (Note 5(i)) Interest received Loss before income tax is arrived at after charging the following items: Superannuation expenses Capitalised exploration expenditure written off 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 26% (2020: 27.5%) Tax effect of amounts which are not deductible (taxable) in calculating taxable income: 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 as at 30 June 2021 in respect of tax losses not brought to account is as follows: Potential future tax benefit – income tax losses Potential future tax benefit – capital losses Potential deferred tax liability – exploration expenditure 2021 $ 2020 $ - 25,993 25,993 100,000 66,425 166,425 76,567 5,594 50,314 83,551 - - - - - - (599,542) (503,704) (155,881) (138,519) (1,521,065) (632,253) 6,092 (83,964) 1,754,818 - (22,286) (24,116) 817,174 - 3,089,529 1,414,612 32,604 34,485 (2,525,356) (1,062,231) 596,777 386,866 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.   4 CURRENT ASSETS – CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash at bank Cash at bank carries a floating interest rate of 1% (2019: 2%).

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. Where options exercise prices are above market values (out of the money), no dilutive impact arises as it increases the loss per share. 13 REMUNERATION OF AUDITORS Remuneration for audit of financial reports by Rothsay Auditing 27,500 27,500 2021 $ 2020 $ 14 KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL DISCLOSURES The persons holding positions as Directors of the Company during the financial year were: Appointed 17 February 2021 Non-Executive Chair Appointed Chair 1 July 2021 Mr Timothy Kennedy Ms Katina Law Non-Executive Director Appointed 1 July 2018 Mr David (Lorry) Hughes Managing Director Appointed 6 April 2018 Ms Kelly Ross Non-Executive Director Appointed 6 April 2018 Resigned 17 February 2021 (a) Details of remuneration Refer to the Remuneration Report contained in the Directors’ Report for details of the remuneration paid or payable to each member of the Company’s Key Management Personnel for the year ended 30 June 2021.

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 2021 $ 2020 $ 8,047,415 3,384,990 318,133 145,891 8,365,548 3,530,881 511,186 511,186 119,473 119,473 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 2021. 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. 20 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND POLICIES continued (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 8,047,415 318,133 8,365,548 511,186 511,186 3,384,990 145,891 3,530,881 119,473 119,473 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 8,047,415 318,133 8,365,548 511,186 511,186 3,384,990 145,891 3,530,881 119,473 119,473 Weighted average effective interest rate % 0.25% - - - - 1% - - - - As at 30 June 2021 Financial Assets: Cash Receivables Financial Liabilities: Payables As at 30 June 2020 Financial Assets: Cash Receivables Financial Liabilities: Payables Sensitivity analysis – interest rates The sensitivity effect of possible interest rate movements have not been disclosed as they are immaterial.
