REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND RESULTS

COMET GOLD PROJECT, WA – ACCELERATE RESOURCES 100%

The Comet Gold Project comprises one granted exploration license, E20/908 and one exploration licenses application, E21/213 covering 84.5km[2] , located approximately 115 km south southwest of Meekatharra and 20 km southeast of Cue. The project covers part of the Meekatharra to Mount Magnet Greenstone belt, located at the southern end of the Tuckabianna Shear Zone.

During the half-year, the Company applied for two new exploration licenses E21/214 and E20/970, covering 45.7km[2] , to the northwest and west of the current tenure.

The Company completed its maiden drilling campaign initially targeting high priority mineralised gold trends at the Antarctica and Comet East prospects at the Comet Gold Project near Cue in Western Australia. The program comprised 17 shallow Reverse Circulation (RC) drill holes for 1,212m, designed to further investigate and extend shallow, high-grade, oxide gold intersections from historical reconnaissance RAB and RC drilling.

Compilation and analysis of historical RAB and RC drilling data by the Company, identified a number of gold targets and anomalous gold trends within the Comet Project area, including extensions to the north and east of the Comet gold mine and along the Antarctica gold trend in the eastern part of the license (See ASX announcement dated 14 July 2020).

ACCELERATE RESOURCES LIMITED Consolidated Interim Financial Report for the Half-Year Ended 31 December 2020

==> picture [134 x 91] intentionally omitted <==

Accelerate’s RC drilling program was successfully completed with the holes generally intersecting the targeted banded iron formation and other potential mineralised positions as planned. A total of 740 samples have been submitted to the laboratory for fire assay analysis, with results reporting highly significant assay results from two phases of reverse circulation (RC) drilling at the Comet Gold project. Drilling significantly upgraded the potential of Comet East to host economically mineable gold mineralisation.

During September 2020, Accelerate undertook a first phase of RC drilling (17 holes for 1,212m; 20CORC001 - 017) at the Comet Gold Project, returning highly encouraging assay results from shallow drilling at the Comet East prospect.

Follow up RC drilling was completed in late December 2020. An additional ten RC holes for 702m (20CORC018 – 027) were drilled to infill section spacing to 40m along 160m of strike on the shallow dipping Comet East mineralised structure. All holes returned a significant gold intersection from the targeted gold position.

Accelerate intends to undertake a review of the current results with a view to developing the next phase of potential evaluation work at the Comet Gold Project.

Comet Project Tenure Expansion

In November 2020, the Company acquired Volcanic Resources Pty Ltd, a company that holds a 100% interest in tenement application ELA20/965. The tenement is contiguous with the north-west portion of Accelerate’s Comet Project, substantially expanding the existing ground position at Cue. In addition to this acquisition, Accelerate further expanded the Comet project area via the low cost application of tenements ELA 21/214 and ELA 20/965. The Company is continuing to evaluate the geological potential of these properties as part of a broader project review.

ROSSLAND GOLD PROJECT, CANADA – ACCELERATE RESOURCES EARNING UP TO 100%

The Company entered into an agreement with Canadian company Currie Rose Resources Inc. (“Currie Rose” TSXV:CUI) to acquire up to 100% of the Rossland Gold Project, in British Columbia, Canada (See ASX announcement dated 1 September 2020).

The Rossland Gold Project covers approximately 3,000 Ha and hosts the same geological structures as the adjacent high grade Le Roi Mines that produced more than 2.7 million ounces of gold, 3.5 million ounces of silver and 71 tonnes of copper between 1894 and 1941.

Now with consolidated ownership and evidence from the adjacent mining records, Accelerate is able to apply modern geophysical, geochemical and drilling techniques to thoroughly test the strike extent of high grade deposits that run up to the project boundary. The on-ground technical team have identified several high-priority gold targets that have high grade historical drill results, which have not been tested by modern exploration methods. The Project also includes numerous historic prospecting pits and several adits to be mapped and sampled for future drill testing.

==> picture [134 x 91] intentionally omitted <==

During the half-year, a 11 line-kilometer, Very Low-Frequency Electromagnetic (VLF-EM) survey was completed over the high-grade Gertrude prospect in the northern part of the project (See ASX announcement dated 6 October 2020). The results have confirmed the Company’s original interpretation and will be used as a guide in the upcoming diamond drill program at Gertrude planned to commence.

The due diligence phase of the Earn In Agreement with TXS-V listed Currie Rose Resources INC (“Currie”) commenced at the Rossland Gold Project located in central southern British Columbia. A single hole has been completed at the first of the targets, the Novelty Prospect (part of the Gertrude Prospect area). The first hole (RGP-20-001) has been drilled to a planned depth of 60.6m. Drill results are pending.

Drilling at the more elevated Eleanor and the Gertrude targets has been delayed due to unseasonal weather conditions and unforeseen access limitations. The number of meters planned to be drilled at these targets has been modified to accommodate the current weather conditions and drilling will recommence once conditions improve.

Drilling activity has now focused on the Mascot Prospect, situated on the eastern flank of the Rossland Gold Project. Recent geological mapping has confirmed that the Mascot Prospect hosts three primary veins: Mascot Vein, Central Vein, and Kapai Vein, as well as the secondary Mascot North Vein. In 1894, three mine adits were developed on the Mascot lodes; records indicate that the Mascot Vein was mined to 120m with grades up to 9g/t. Several other drill targets have been identified within the greater project area and will be subject to drilling over the coming months.

MOUNT MONGER GOLD PROJECT, WA – ACCELERATE RESOURCES 100%

The Mount Monger project comprises two granted exploration licenses, E25/525 and E25/565 and one exploration license application E25/586, covering 35.3 km[2] in the Bulong district, 43 km east of Kambalda and approximately 70 km by road from Kalgoorlie. The project area is located 8 km east of Silver Lake Resources Ltd’s currently operating 1.2 Mtpa Randall’s gold mill.

The Company has granted a prospective purchaser an exclusive option to purchase the Mt Monger Gold Project. The exclusive option expires on 11 February 2021 and is subject to the parties entering into a formal option agreement. The option was subsequently extended to 20 May 2021.

TAMBELLUP KAOLIN PROJECT, WA – HALCYON RESOURCES PTY LTD 100%

The Tambellup Kaolin Project (E70/4969) is located 10 km west of the township of Tambellup in the Southwest of West Australia. The project is located approximately 280 km south-southeast of Perth via the Great Southern Highway, and 120 km north of Albany. The Tambellup West Road bisects the project and links to the Albany Highway in the west. The Perth - Albany freight railway corridor runs north-south through the centre of the township. Two kaolin prospects have previously been identified by drilling within the tenement, Sadlers in the northwest of the project area, and Hulls in the east.

Exploration by the Company during 2020 has comprised and Aircore drilling program (52 holes for 769m) targeting kaolin mineralisation at the Hulls prospect (See ASX announcement dated 20 February 2020).

ACCELERATE RESOURCES LIMITED Consolidated Interim Financial Report for the Half-Year Ended 31 December 2020

==> picture [134 x 91] intentionally omitted <==

Interpretation of the results from the drilling indicates that the Sadlers kaolin prospect remains open to the southeast and is bounded to the northeast and southwest by two east-southeast trending mafic units which are observable in outcrop and shallow drilling. A shallow granite basement high occurs in the western part of the prospect.

MOUNT READ PROJECT, TASMANIA - ACCELERATE RESOURCES 100%

The Company’s Mount Read Project is located on the Cape Sorell Peninsula, south of Macquarie Harbour and approximately 48 km south of the town of Strahan, in western Tasmania. The project comprises one exploration licence (EL6/2013) with an area of 224 km².

Apart from the above, no matter or circumstance has arisen since the end of the financial period which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the Group in future financial periods.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ACCELERATE RESOURCES LIMITED

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Accelerate Resources Limited, which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year end or from time to time during the half-year.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year 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 half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of Accelerate Resources Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

  • (a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • (b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001 .
