Dear Shareholders,

Alara has made excellent progress towards developing its projects during the past year, with its planned transition from mineral explorer to copper producer now well underway. And all this despite difficult operating conditions due to an ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Several waves of the virus hit the Middle East during the 2021 financial year, resulting in extended lockdowns and travel restrictions. Several staff from Alara and its joint-venture partners suffered COVID themselves or lost loved ones during the pandemic. My heart-felt condolences go out to everyone who was affected by this unprecedented crisis. Through all this, Alara’s unwavering focus was to deliver the well-planned advancement of its projects in Oman, while at the same time safeguarding its employees and contractors by changing working styles and providing preventative inoculations for staff.

Despite these challenges, Alara achieved several critical milestones along its development journey. Our flagship Omani JV company Al Hadeetha Resources LLC (AHRL) commenced construction of the accommodation camp for its planned 1MTPA copper concentrator at the Al Washi-hi Majaza copper-gold project (Project) in August 2021, and placed purchase orders for the major copper concentrator plant and other equipment during September. Alara additionally completed a successful metallurgical test program and basic engineering design for the copper processing plant during the year. Detailed engineering designs are now nearing completion.

In another key milestone achieved in 2021, the Omani Ministry of Housing granted approvals for AHRL to access land surrounding the mining licence area, allowing the construction of minerelated facilities including the accommodation village and the access road. It is very pleasing to see Project development work now progressing on multiple fronts. The Al Wash-hi Majaza Project is on track to produce its first copper concentrate by the fourth quarter of calendar year 2022. During the year we reported an upward revised Project financial outcome, with an increase in expected operational expenditure being more than offset by the improved copper price environment .

Positive developments were not just confined to our Al Washi-hi Majaza copper-gold project, with Alara making progress across other parts of the business as well. In Oman, negotiations

Managing Director’s Letter

continued towards the potential consolidation of our other copper assets. The Company is now much closer to obtaining a mining license over the Daris Project (Block 7) and other exploration areas, including Mullaq and Al Ajal.

Alara Resources LLC (ARL), another Alara Omani JV company, executed a long-term mining contract with AHRL for the proposed Al Wash-hi Majaza mine. By virtue of the skills, reputation and experience of its shareholders, ARL gives AHRL a competitive advantage across a number of geological, mining and metallurgical project work streams.

In Saudi Arabia, hopes have risen that Alara will be able to re-activate the Khnaiguiyah zinc project, with promising meetings held with key Saudi Ministers and Government Agencies during the year. The mining outlook in the Kingdom has brightened, with the Government taking a new approach as part of its grand vision for 2030.

During the year Alara welcomed a new Non-Executive Director, Mr. Sajeev Kumar, to its Board. Mr Kumar holds a BE (Metallurgy) and an MBA and brings extensive Australian and international business experience to the Company.

The path ahead for AHRL involves continuing to meet the high expectations of supportive local authorities and communities in Oman, as it develops a new, sustainable copper mine in that country. As the world is putting the worst of the pandemic behind it, and with copper demand at an all-time high, I feel privileged to be leading Alara as the Company sets about achieving its goals. The strong support from our Board and Shareholders, the trust and commitment shown by Alara’s JV partners, the talent and dedication of our employees and the quality of the Company’s assets make me excited for our future in Oman.

I look forward to sharing with you the attainment of further key project development milestones during the coming year.

Yours sincerely

Projects overview

Oman Copper in the Sultanate of Oman

Since its discovery thousands of years ago, through the bronze age and beyond, copper has proven to be a most useful metal element, making a huge contribution to the development of communities, cities, and countries around the world.

Global copper consumption has increased significantly over the last century and has grown at an average rate of 3% p.a. over the last 20 years. With industrial change brought on by global climate change initiatives, demand for copper is set to continue rising, in line with projected growth in electricity infrastructure, digital communications, electric vehicles and other renewable energy technologies. A consensus of supply and demand forecasts demonstrate solid support for copper prices through to 2030.

A country with astonishing natural beauty, the Sultanate of Oman is a nation with great history and legends. As the oldest independent state in the Arab World, Oman has embraced modernization and progress while retaining the core aspects of its culture and heritage.

The Sultanate of Oman contains some of the most exciting geology anywhere on Earth, yet it is largely underexplored. Most of the country is covered by desert, while the northern Oman mountains expose some of the best-preserved ophiolitic rocks in the world. Oman’s mining history dates back millennia, to a time when copper was mined there and traded throughout the known world. The country was then known as “Majan” or “the land of copper”.

Copper production in Oman restarted in recent decades, however a temporary halt on new mining licences was imposed in 2014. With the Government now focused on economic diversification, the Ministry of Energy and Minerals is again issuing new mining licences, with AHRL being the first company to receive a copper mining licence since 2004. The Ministry continues to support the copper sector in Oman, with more copper projects set to follow.

Currently, Oman’s main actively mined minerals include chromite, dolomite, limestone, gypsum, silicon and iron. Gold and copper will soon be added to this list, with attendant downstream industrial projects to further boost the mineral sector’s contribution to the nation’s GDP.

Recognizing its huge mineral wealth potential, the Sultanate is now actively promoting the development of its mining industry as one of its top four revenue generating sectors. Key developments include the merger of the Public Authority for Mining (PAM) into Ministry of Energy and Minerals. The inclusion of mining under Implementation Support and Follow-up Unit (ISFU) of Tanfeedh in 2017 and the promulgation of a new Mining Law in 2018. These developments demonstrate the country’s commitment to assisting the mining sector become one of the major non-petroleum revenue sources for the nation.

AHRL LLC (AHRL) – a joint venture between Alara Resources (51%), and Omani conglomerates Al Hadeetha Investment Services LLC (AHIS) (30%) and Al Tasnim Infrastructure LLC (Al Tasnim, 19%) – is the first international JV company to be awarded a mining license for copper in Oman. Alara has joint venture interests in a total of five copper-gold exploration licenses in Oman, extending over 1,186km2. In addition, Alara has a 51% interest (via its shareholding in AHRL) in the Al Hadeetha Mining License at Wash-hi Majaza covering 3km2, within the Wash-hi Exploration License, and four other mining license applications pending for grant, totalling 7km2. The next figure shows the locations of all exploration licenses in Oman, including Alara’s JV license areas. Alara also has another 10 (base and precious metals) exploration license applications, totalling 2,677km2, pending grant in Oman.

Ore characterisation test results

Major observations

The testing showed the average Bond Crusher Work Index values to range from 5.57kWh/t for the MET003C Composite to 7.13kWh/t for the MET002C Composite. Based on the classification criteria provided, the MET001C and MET003C Composites were determined to be “very easy” with respect to crushability, whilst the MET002C Composite was identified as being “easy”. The results of the SMC testing showed the Axb values to range from 41.81 for the MET001C Composite to 53.52 for the MET004C Composite. The SCSE values ranged from 8.54 kWh/t for the MET004C Composite to 10.39 kWh/t for the MET002C Composite.

The results showed the Abrasion Index values range from 0.0374 for the MET001C Composite to 0.5903 for the MET002C Composite. Based on the standard classification criteria, the MET001C Composite was classified as being “non-abrasive”, the MET002C Composite was classified as being “slightly abrasive” and the MET003C Composite was classified as being “medium abrasive”. The results of the Bond Rod Mill Work Index tests showed the Work Index values to range from 13.12kWh/t for the MET002C Composite to 14.92kWh/t for the MET001C Composite. On this basis, the MET002C and MET003C Composites were classified as being “medium” with respect to ore hardness/grindability. The MET001C was classified as being “hard” with respect to ore hardness/grindability.

The results showed that the Bond Ball Mill Work Index values range from 14.06kWh/t for the MET001C Composite to 14.96kWh/t for the MET003C Composite. The three samples were classified as “hard” with respect to fine ore grindability.

Heavy Medium Separation (HMS)

To verify HMS tests conducted in 2013, fresh float-sink tests were carried out on the lower-grade Central-South Composite (MET03F). The Composite sample was initially screened into the optimum size fraction of -3.35mm+500µm, and the test carried out at a specific gravity of 2.8. Results of the float-sink analysis are summarised in the table below.

Alara Resources Annual Report 2021

Wash-hi Majaza Copper Project

Results show that 61% of the feed reported to the floats (rejects) fraction. However copper and gold losses to the rejects fraction were high at 16% and 11% respectively.

As a result of these high metal losses to the rejects fraction it was decided not to progress with any further evaluation of HMS technology.

Flotation

Flotation testing was being carried out during the reporting period on the three (3) main composites. Flotation test parameters were taken from the previous testing undertaken by ALS. The ALS flotation circuit was also used as the base case for testing and the results were found to be in close proximity only.

Batch rougher optimisation tests were carried out investigating float residence times, reagent addition rates and alternate collectors. Open cycle cleaner tests were carried out with and without a regrinds stage and varying 1st cleaner float times.

A single locked cycle test was carried out on each of the master composites to determine the final metallurgical performance. Results of the locked cycle tests are summarised in the two following tables. The following figure shows composite sample zones within the orebody.

The final metallurgical performance for the different metallurgical composites is:

North Upper: copper recovery of 85% at a final concentrate grade of 28.4%Cu
• North Lower: copper recovery of 92% at a final concentrate grade of 25.1%Cu
Central-South: copper recovery of 87% at a final concentrate grade of 20.1%Cu
The results show high copper recoveries can be achieved to a saleable concentrate grade of >20%Cu.

A trade-off between copper grade and recovery can be made to optimise copper recovery to a fixed copper concentrate grade based on discussions with metal traders. Test work carried out at Wardell Armstrong has confirmed:

The Wash-hi Majaza ores exhibit low abrasiveness and moderate grinding characteristics
Flotation tests confirm the optimum primary grind size as a P80 of 75µm
The flotation circuit is fairly conventional with a rougher/scavenger circuit, followed by
regrinding of the rougher/scavenger concentrates, and two-stage cleaning to produce a saleable copper concentrate, with minor gold credits
An optimum regrind size of P80 of 25µm is required to ensure selectivity between chalcopyrite and pyrite

At the time of writing this Annual Report, dewatering testing (thickening and filtration) was still ongoing at Wardell Armstrong.

Testing at Wardell Armstrong confirmed that the overall metallurgical performance is dependent on the copper head grade to the plant, i.e. a higher copper grade results in a higher copper recovery to the final copper concentrate. The process plant is designed to treat a head grade of 1.3%Cu, for which a copper recovery of 92.1% at a concentrate grade of 24.6% Cu, and mass pull of 4% by weight is obtained. Latest process technologies will be investigated to further improve the metallurgical performance of Cu and Au.

Future Growth Opportunities

Additional Copper Potential

The Wash-hi exploration license has significant potential for the discovery of additional copper deposits. Most of the area around Wash-hi Majaza is covered by ancient and recent alluvial fans. Based on the premise that sulfide mineralization in the area is coincident with a distinct reduction in the magnetic susceptibility values of basaltic rocks, four other targets have been identified for further follow-up, as shown in the next figure. It is proposed to follow-up these areas with electrical geophysical methods (EM or IP) to confirm the target potential followed by drilling.

Mullaq Exploration License

Mullaq Exploration License

The Mullaq Exploration License area is adjacent to Wash-hi Exploration License. The Mullaq prospect lies within the Oman Mountains, approximately 160 kilometres south-east of Muscat via sealed road.

Previous explorers in the Mullaq License area discovered copper mineralization in layered gabbro sequence, yet a large part of the tenement still remains unexplored. So far, no resource modelling has been conducted at Mullaq, however geophysical surveys and drilling campaigns by Alara have identified the presence of potential mineral deposits in the area.

Exploration Targets – Mineralisation

Exploration Targets at Mullaq are estimated purely based on the size, geological perception and structural interpretation of the geophysical target, and without any other obvious geochemical or lithological or geo-statistical support. Anticipated (conceptual) copper and gold mineralization targets in the Mullaq license area are shown in the following table.

Mullaq exploration targets (grades are approximations)

(Note: The potential quantity and grade of the above exploration targets are conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to determine a mineral resource and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of mineral resources or that the production target itself will be realised.)

Mullaq Mining License Application in Progress

With the grant of a mining license and the development of a copper concentrator plant at the nearby Wash-hi Majaza, any high-grade deposit delineated at Mullaq could be developed on hub and spoke basis.

A mining license application at Mullaq submitted in 2013 has progressed through various Ministries in Oman. An Environmental Impact Assessment was also completed. AHRL considers a Mining Licence clearance to be key to further exploration work in the area. The timeframe for the grant of the Mining licence and conduct of the exploration program designed to test the exploration target is estimated to be three years.

Exploration Potential – Future Opportunities

Preliminary exploration confirmed the presence of two more areas of potential positivity in similar geological trends. The Al Ajal prospect is unique, as it is considered to be the only known mineral occurrence in Oman Mountains not to be associated with the ophiolite volcanics of Oman. Despite its small size and difficult terrain, in view of the high gold grades detected by previous explorers, this prospect warrants further exploration for copper and gold-bearing deposits.

Mining License Application

A mining license application at Al Ajal submitted in 2013 has progressed through various Ministries in Oman. AHRL considers the grant of a mining licence clearance as a key prerequisite to further exploration work in the area.

Saudi Arabia

Khnaiguiyah Zinc-Copper Project

The Khnaiguiyah Zinc-Copper Project is located approximately 170km south-west of the Saudi Arabian capital city of Riyadh. A mining licence held by a former JV partner was cancelled in 2015. Alara, as sole funder of the Definitive Feasibility Study for the Khnaiguiyah Project, is poised to restart the project once the licence is re-issued and is working with relevant parties in both the private and public sectors to prepare for this.

The Khnaiguiyah Project involves the planned development and operation of an open-cut zinccopper mine and associated infrastructure over an approximate 13-year mine life. Alara has invested over USD 30m into this Project, including over USD 23m (AUD 30.64m) to produce a definitive feasibility study (DFS) which demonstrated a project with strong financials.

The Khnaiguiyah mining licence was cancelled in 2015, however, due to an impasse between project participants. An auction for the re-issue of the mining licence is expected to be held in Q2 2022. Alara funded, and is now in the unique position of holding, the only DFS for this project. Alara is working with various parties in both the private and public sectors to prepare for the reissue of the licence. Alara’s possession of the DFS puts it in a good position to participate in the future development of this project.

Project Engineering and Construction

Progesys, as Project Management Consultant ( PMC ), oversees and directs the engineering, procurement and construction for the Project. Debisikha Associates, India ( Debisikha ) is engaged to provide various services to the Project, including:

Front-end engineering design ( FEED ) and preparation of technical specifications for all bought out items
Detailed engineering for plant and infrastructure facilities (excluding geo-technical studies)
Preparation of technical bid documents for onsite construction work
Expediting the vendor manufacturing process and delivery schedule
Inspection and co-ordination of any items to be sourced from India

Debisikha is an experienced consulting engineering company. Debisikha has worked on various EPC projects in India, Europe and the USA in the field of mineral processing and base-metal mining. Debisikha is engaged under a fixed-price contract with a monthly payment schedule which allows for resource loading throughout the project development schedule.

Road Connectivity

All required road permits have been obtained and road construction commencement is expected in October 2021.

Water Supply

1,200m³ of process water per day will be supplied by tankers, sourced from sewage water treatment plants at Mudhaibi and Nizwa. An 18,000m³ water storage reservoir will be constructed on site. Potable water will be sourced from bores on site. Project water supply requirements have been reduced from the level specified in the DFS by the adoption of a dry tailings system.

Power supply

The power supply will be sourced from two feeders from Omani electricity company MZEC, approximately 2 km from the project site. Negotiations are underway to appoint a local authorised contractor to design, supply and construct overhead power lines and the primary substation at site.

COVID-19 Impact

Oman experienced a third wave of COVID-19 during Q2 calendar 2021. Internal and border movement restrictions were in place to curtail the spread of the virus. Covid movement restrictions have eased since the end of the reporting period, with the Government moving to reliance on its vaccination campaign. All Alara and AHRL team members are fully vaccinated and working in offices or on site.

Mining Contractor

Project JV vehicle Al Hadeetha Resources LLC ( AHRL ) entered a preliminary commercial agreement with Alara Resources LLC ( ARL ) for ARL to perform mining services over ten years, at a cost of approximately USD 126m (AUD 167.83m). Of that amount, approximately USD 6m (AUD 7.99m) will be classified as capital expenditure when incurred, with the remainder on revenue account.

Alara Resources LLC (ARL)

ARL has two drill rigs and associated accessories and is seeking mineral drilling contract work. In 2019, prior to the Covid outbreak, the Omani Public Authority for Mining ( PAM ) released plans to award 110 new multi-commodity exploration and mining licences in the country.[3] Mineral exploration activity in Oman was negatively impacted by the pandemic. As the vaccinated percentage of the local population rises, activity in this sector is expected to ramp up. ARL is targeting a number of drilling contracts which will become available over the coming months.

ARL’s first mining contract is with AHRL, as detailed above.

*Pursuant to Ministerial decree (38/2013) which declares that the exploration licence ends when its duration ends, unless the licensee has submitted an application for a mining licence, in which case the duration for the exploration licence extends until the date that a determination is made on the mining application.

- Daris Copper Gold Project

Oman

(Alara – 50% with option to increase to 70%: Al Tamman Trading Establishment LLC – 50%)

The Daris project comprises two high-grade copper deposits within the 587km² exploration licence, which includes two mining licence applications covering 4.5km². The project fits well with a “hub and spoke” model, which provides for processing of Daris ore at the Al Hadeetha copper concentration plant to be built 100km to the south.

The Daris East Mining Licence application, which covers an area that includes measured, indicated and inferred JORC copper resources[4] was opposed by the Ministry of Housing due to its proximity to recently allotted land. Review of a petition supporting the application lodged by Daris is underway at the Ministry of Energy and Minerals.

The Daris 3A5 application for a Mining Licence is progressing well with the Government.

- Awtad Copper Gold Project

Oman

(Alara – right to subscribe for 10% initially with subsequent earn-in up to 70%; existing local shareholders hold the balance of the project)

The Awtad Project comprises an area of approximately 497 km² ( Block 8 ) and is located immediately adjacent to the Block 7 ( Daris Copper-Gold Project ). Alara has a right to an initial 10% interest (increasing to 50-70%+) in the concession owner, Awtad Copper LLC.

Exploration previously undertaken at this project includes:

86 line kilometres of airborne VTEM, 14 line kilometres of ground IP, 169 line kilometres of ground magnetics and 202 line kilometres of high-resolution ground magnetics.
76 RAB drill holes totalling 1,747m and 11 core drill holes totalling 299m.
Drilling results (including over the Al Mansur Prospect) were low-grade in general and inconclusive.

Previous exploration identified anomalies worthy of further exploration. The fact that prospective geological formations within the licence area are under cover of alluvial and aeolian deposits enhances the chances of further copper mineralisation.

Detailed work plans were submitted to the Ministry of Energy and Minerals for renewal of the exploration licence, which remains pending.

Mineral Tenements

The current status of all mineral tenements and applications for the Daris and Awtad Projects is presented in the table below.

- Khnaiguiyah Zinc Copper Project

Saudi Arabia

The Khnaiguiyah Project is a proposed open-cut, zinc-copper mine and associated infrastructure. Alara has invested over USD 30m in this Project, including over USD 23m (AUD 30.64m) to produce a bankable feasibility study ( BFS ).

The project reached an impasse after the former Khnaiguiyah mining licence holder, United Arabian Mining Company LLC, asked the Saudi Mines Minister to halt transfer of the licence to the Alara JV company, contrary to the requirements of the JV agreement.

The mining licence was cancelled in 2015, due to the impasse between project participants.

4 The Company has disclosed full details of these resources on various occasions in a form which complies with the JORC Code, 2012 Ed. See, for example, the Company’s 2019 Annual Report to shareholders, pp 14-45 and 72-73.

Remuneration and Nomination Committee

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee currently comprises Non-Executive Chairman, Stephen Gethin (Committee Chairman, appointed 2 July 2020), Non-Executive Director, Vikas Jain (appointed 6 April 2016) and Managing Director Atmavireshwar Sthapak appointed 28 June 2016).

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee has a formal charter to prescribe its purpose, key responsibilities, composition, membership requirements, powers and other administrative matters. The Committee has a remuneration function (with key responsibilities to make recommendations to the Board on policy governing the remuneration benefits of the Managing Director and Executive Directors, including equity-based remuneration and assist the Managing Director to determine the remuneration benefits of senior management and advise on those determinations) and a nomination function (with key responsibilities to make recommendations to the Board as to various Board matters including the necessary and desirable qualifications, experience and competencies of Directors and the extent to which these are reflected in the Board, the appointment of the Chairman and Managing Director, the development and review of Board succession plans and addressing Board diversity). The Remuneration and Nomination Committee Charter may be viewed and downloaded from the Company’s website.

Remuneration Policy

The Board (with guidance from the Remuneration and Nomination Committee) determines the remuneration structure of all Key Management Personnel having regard to the Consolidated Entity’s strategic objectives, scale and scope of operations and other relevant factors, including experience and qualifications, length of service, market practice, the duties and accountability of Key Management Personnel and the objective of maintaining a balanced Board which has appropriate expertise and experience, at a reasonable cost to the Company. The Board recognises that the performance of the Company depends upon the quality of its Directors and Executives. To achieve its financial and operating objectives, the Company must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled Directors and Executives.

The Company embodies the following principles in its remuneration framework:

Provide competitive rewards to attract and retain high calibre Executives.
Structure remuneration at a level that reflects the Executive’s duties and accountabilities and is competitive.

Remuneration Structure

The structure of Non-Executive Director and Executive Director remuneration is separate and distinct.

Director Remuneration

Objective

The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration for Directors at a level which provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain Board members of the highest calibre, at a cost acceptable to shareholders.

Structure

Each Non-Executive Director receives a fee for serving as a Director of the Company and on relevant Board Committees, if applicable. The level of each NonExecutive Director’s fee is commensurate with the workload and responsibilities undertaken. According to the Company’s Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules, the aggregate remuneration of Non-Executive Directors must not exceed an amount determined by the Shareholders at a General Meeting ( NonExecutive Fee Pool ). An amount up to the Non-Executive Fee Pool is then allocated among the Non-Executive Directors as Directors’ fees, as determined by the Board on the recommendation of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee ( Remuneration Committee ). The Non-Executive Fee Pool was last set by Shareholders at the 2011 Annual General Meeting at AUD 275,000 per annum. Shareholders determined the amount of the Non-Executive Fee Pool having regard to the recommendation of the Board. That recommendation was, in turn, based on the recommendation of the Remuneration Committee, made based on a consideration of fees paid to non-executive directors of comparable companies.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial StatementAlara Resources Annual Report 2021 for the year ended 30 June 2021

1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Statement of Significant Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.

The financial report includes the financial statements for the Consolidated Entity consisting of Alara Resources Limited and its controlled and jointly controlled entities. Alara Resources Limited is a company limited by shares, incorporated in Western Australia, Australia and whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange ( ASX ).

1.1. Basis of preparation

These general-purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001 . Alara Resources Limited is a for-profit entity for the purposes of preparing the financial statements.

Compliance with IFRS

The consolidated financial statements of the Consolidated Entity, Alara Resources Limited, also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

Reporting Basis and Conventions

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets, and financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied.

Going Concern Assumption

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis of accounting which assumes the continuity of normal business activities and realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

The Group has incurred a loss for the year ended 30 June 2021 of AUD 1,670,471 (2020: Loss AUD 14,966) and cash inflows/(outflows) from operating and investing activities of ($4,820,559) (2020: $156,777). As at 30 June 2021 the Group has a cash at bank balance of AUD 4,241,815 (2020: AUD 7,674,616) and bank deposits of AUD 1,039,829 (2020: AUD 8,661) and working capital of AUD 4,222,688 (2020: AUD 7,793,182).

The directors have prepared a cash flow forecast, which indicates that the Group will have sufficient cash flows to meet all commitments and working capital requirements for the 12-month period from the date of signing this financial report. Based on the cash flow forecast, the directors are satisfied that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate.

1.2. Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries of Alara Resources Limited as at 30 June 2021 and the results of its subsidiaries for the year then ended. Alara Resources Limited and its subsidiaries are referred to in this financial report as the Consolidated Entity. All transactions and balances between Consolidated Entity companies are eliminated on consolidation, including unrealised gains and losses on transactions between Consolidated Entity companies. Where unrealised losses on intra-group asset sales are reversed on consolidation, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment from a Consolidated Entity perspective. Amounts reported in the financial statements of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Consolidated Entity. Profit or loss and other comprehensive income of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are recognised from the effective date of acquisition, or up to the effective date of disposal, as applicable. Non-controlling interests, presented as part of equity, represent the portion of a subsidiary’s profit or loss and net assets that is not held by the Consolidated Entity. The Consolidated Entity attributes total comprehensive income or loss of subsidiaries between the owners of the parent and the non-controlling interests based on their respective ownership interests.

1.3. Foreign Currency Translation and Balances

Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of each entity within the Consolidated Entity is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency.

Transaction and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge. Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in equity, otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in profit or loss.

Consolidated entity

The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the Consolidated Entity’s presentation currency are translated as follows:

(a) assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date;
(b) income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and
(c) retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.

==> picture [64 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

AlaraNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementResources Annual Report 2021 for the year ended 30 June 2021

Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the Consolidated Entity’s foreign currency translation reserve in the statement of financial position. These differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the operation is disposed.

1.4. Joint Arrangements

Joint arrangements exist when two or more parties have joint control. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control, in the event the Company does not share control the financials are consolidated (or deconsolidated in the event of loss of control) (refer to 1.2 for further information). The Consolidated Entity’s joint arrangements are currently of one type:

Joint operations

Joint operations are joint arrangements in which the parties with joint control have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities relating to the arrangement. The activities of a joint operation are primarily designed for the provision of output to the parties to the arrangement, indicating that:

the parties have the rights to substantially all the economic benefits of the assets of the arrangement; and
all liabilities are satisfied by the joint participants through their purchases of that output. This indicates that, in substance, the joint participants have an obligation for the liabilities of the arrangement.

1.5. Leases

In the previous year, the Group has applied AASB 16 that is effective for annual periods that begin on or after 1 January 2019. AASB 16 introduced a single lessee accounting model that eliminates the requirement for leases to be classified as operating or finance leases. The main changes introduced by the new Standard are as follows:

recognition of a right-of-use asset and liability for all leases (excluding short-term leases with less than 12 months of tenure and leases relating to low-value assets);
depreciation of right-of-use assets in line with AASB 116: Property, Plant and Equipment in profit or loss and unwinding of the liability in principal and interest components;
inclusion of variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate in the initial measurement of the lease liability using the index or rate at the commencement date;
application of a practical expedient to permit a lessee to elect not to separate non-lease components and instead account for all components as a lease; and
inclusion of additional disclosure requirements.

The transitional provisions of AASB 16 allow a lessee to either retrospectively apply the Standard to comparatives in line with AASB 108 or recognise the cumulative effect of retrospective application as an adjustment to opening equity on the date of initial application.

1.6. Comparative Figures

Certain comparative figures have been adjusted to confirm to changes in presentation for the current financial year.

1.7. Critical Accounting Judgements and Estimates

The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements requires Directors to make judgements and estimates and form assumptions that affect how certain assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and equity are reported. At each reporting period, the Directors evaluate their judgements and estimates based on historical experience and on other various factors they believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of the carrying values of assets and liabilities (that are not readily apparent from other sources, such as independent valuations). Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

Exploration and evaluation expenditure

The Consolidated Entity’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure being capitalised include the Daris Project where these costs are expected to be recoverable through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves. In the case of the Al Hadeetha project, a maiden reserve announcement was issued in December 2016. This policy requires management to make certain estimates to future events and circumstances, in particular whether an economically viable extraction operation can be established. Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. If, after having capitalised the expenditure under the policy, a judgement is made that recovery of the expenditure is not possible, the relevant capitalised amount will be written off to profit or loss.

Impairment of mine development expenditure

The future recoverability of capitalised mine development expenditure is dependent on a number of factors, including the level of proved and probable reserves and measured, indicated and inferred mineral resources, future technological changes which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes and changes to commodity prices.

To the extent that capitalised mine development expenditure is determined not to be recoverable in the future, this will reduce profits and net assets in the period in which this determination is made.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial StatementAlara Resources Annual Report 2021 for the year ended 30 June 2021

The Consolidated Entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with Directors and employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using a Black-Scholes options valuation model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities but will impact expenses and equity.

1.8. New, Revised or Amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations Adopted

The Consolidated Entity has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ( AASB ) that are mandatory for the current reporting period. The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the Consolidated Entity during the financial year.

Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

1.9. New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet Mandatory or Early Adopted

There are no forthcoming standards and amendments that are expected to have a material impact on the group in the current or future reporting periods, or on foreseeable future transactions.

ACCOUNTING POLICY NOTE

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Consolidated Entity and the revenue can be reliably measured. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax ( GST ) except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Interest Revenue – Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.
Other Revenues – Other revenues are recognised on a receipts basis.

The benefit of the deferred tax assets not recognised will only be obtained if:

(i) The Consolidated Entity derives future income that is assessable for Australian income tax purposes and is of a type and an amount sufficient to enable the benefit of them to be realised;

(ii) The Consolidated Entity continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by tax legislation in Australia; and

(iii) There are no changes in tax law which will adversely affect the Consolidated Entity in realising the benefit of them.

The Consolidated Entity has elected to consolidate for taxation purposes and has entered into a tax sharing and funding agreement in respect of such arrangements.

ACCOUNTING POLICY NOTE

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 taxing 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 (if applicable). 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 taxing jurisdiction. The relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative amounts of

==> picture [64 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

Notes to the Consolidated Financial StatementAlara Resources Annual Report 2021 for the year ended 30 June 2021

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. The amount of deferred tax assets 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 Consolidated Entity will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in other comprehensive income or equity are also recognised directly in other comprehensive income or equity.

Tax consolidation legislation

The Consolidated Entity implemented the tax consolidation legislation. The head entity, Alara Resources Limited, and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. These tax amounts are measured as if each entity in the tax consolidated group continues to be a stand-alone taxpayer in its own right. In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the Company also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets (as appropriate) arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax consolidated group. Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements within the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the Consolidated Entity. Any differences between the amounts assumed and amounts receivable or payable under the tax funding agreement are recognised as a contribution to (or distribution from) wholly-owned tax consolidated entities.

Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST. Cash flows are presented in the cash flow statement on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

Under AASB 133 “Earnings per share”, potential ordinary shares such as options will only be treated as dilutive when their conversion to ordinary shares would increase loss per share from continuing operations.

ACCOUNTING POLICY NOTE

Basic Earnings per share is determined by dividing the operating result after income tax by the weighted average number of ordinary shares on issue during the financial period. Diluted Earnings 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 reduction in earnings per share that will probably arise from the exercise of options outstanding during the financial period.

ACCOUNTING POLICY NOTE

An associate is an entity over which the group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.

Under the equity method, an investment in an associate is recognized initially in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate. When the group’s share of losses of an associate exceeds the Group’s interest in that associate, the group discontinues recognising its share of further losses. Additional losses are recognised only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

ACCOUNTING POLICY NOTE

All plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the assets employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present value in determining recoverable amount. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Consolidated Entity and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred. The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a diminishing value basis over the asset's useful life to the Consolidated Entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:

Class of Fixed Asset	Depreciation Rate
Office Equipment	15–37.5%
Motor Vehicles	33.3%
Plant and Equipment	15–33.3%

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings.

Mine properties and development assets

Mine property and development assets include costs incurred in accessing the ore body and costs to develop the mine to the production phase, once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of a mining operation has been established. At this stage, exploration and evaluation assets are reclassified to mine properties. Mine property and development assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses recognised. The initial cost of an asset comprises its purchase price or construction cost and any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset into operation. Any ongoing costs associated with mining which are considered to benefit mining operations in future periods are capitalised.

During the prior year, the Al Hadeetha Copper-Gold Project in Oman has been reclassified to Development Expenditure upon demonstrating commercial viability and commencement of development activities.

On 21 October 2010, Alara Saudi Operations Pty Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a shareholders’ agreement with mineral licences holder, United Arabian Mining LLC ( Manajem ). Pursuant to the shareholders’ agreement a joint venture entity, Khnaiguiyah Mining Company LLC ( KMC ) (in which the Consolidated Entity has a 50% shareholding interest) was established and Manajem are required to transfer legal title to the mining licence and exploration licences over the Khnaiguiyah Project to KMC. The Consolidated Entity has obtained independent advice confirming that valid and legally enforceable rights existed for KMC to commercially exploit the Khnaiguiyah Project. The financial statements of previous Annual Reports were prepared on this basis with the asset carried at AUD 33,190,221 as at 30 June 2015. Following cancellation of the Khnaiguiyah Mining Licence, a provision for impairment of the carrying value of exploration and evaluation attributable to the Khnaiguiyah Project was made. This provision for impairment may be reversed in the future(see accounting policy note on mineral exploration and evaluation expenditure below).

Alara Oman Operations Pty Limited (a wholly owned Australian subsidiary) gained a 70% shareholding interest in a jointly controlled company, Al Hadeetha Resource LLC (Oman), on 23 November 2011. Further on 24 December 2018 the Group disposed of a 19% interest in Al Hadeetha Resources LLC to Al Tasnim Infrastructure Services LLC, reducing its continuing interest to 51%. The principal activity of the company is exploration, evaluation and development of mineral licences in Oman.

Alara Oman Operations Pty Limited (a wholly owned Australian subsidiary) gained a 50% shareholding interest in a jointly controlled company, Daris Resources LLC (Oman), on 1 December 2010. The principal activity of this company is exploration, evaluation and development of mineral licences in Oman. The Consolidated Entity has a valid and legally enforceable contractual right to commercially exploit the Daris Project held by Daris Resources LLC (in which the Consolidated Entity has a 50% shareholding interest) and does not hold the legal title to the mineral exploration licence (which is held by the other 50% shareholder of Daris Resources LLC). The financial statements have been prepared on this basis. Should these legal rights not be enforceable, the carrying value of Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure attributable to the Daris Project would be impaired.

The Consolidated Group has entered into a Heads of Agreement with Copper LLC, under which wholly owned subsidiary Alara Oman Operations Pty Ltd would become a 10% shareholder in the Awtad Block 8 Project. As part of the Heads of Agreement, Awtad acknowledges OMR 246,215 (AUD 812,316) previously spent on the project by Alara as the basis for Alara’s interest in that project.

ACCOUNTING POLICY NOTE

Mineral Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure

Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is accumulated (i.e. capitalised) in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward where they are expected to be recoverable through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area and includes areas that have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves. Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made. Exploration and evaluation expenditure is written-off when it fails to meet at least one of the conditions outlined above or an area of interest is abandoned. Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount. When facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount, the impairment loss will be measured in accordance with the Consolidated Entity’s impairment policy (Note 1.7). This policy requires management to make certain estimates to future events and circumstances, in particular whether an economically viable extraction operation can be established. Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. If, after having capitalised the expenditure under the policy, a judgement is made that recovery of the expenditure is not possible, the relevant capitalised amount will be written off to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

At each reporting date, the Consolidated Entity reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the profit or loss. Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.

On 15 March 2017 Alara Oman Operations Pty Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) entered into an off-take agreement for the supply of copper concentrate from the Al Hadeetha Project to Statdrome Pte Ltd (Offtake Agreement). Under the Offtake Agreement, concentrate production from the Al Hadeetha Copper Project (Wash-hi Majaza site) will be shipped from the Sohar port (unless a smelter is operating in Oman). In June 2018 Statdrome made a pre-payment under the Offtake Agreement. The Statdrome advance bears interest at LIBOR plus four percent per annum. This amount represents unearned income. The amount of this liability in AUD is shown in the table above. On 3 May 2020, the advance received was repaid to Statdrome.

(a) Risk exposure

Details of the Consolidated Entity's exposure to risks arising from current payables are set out in Note 23.

ACCOUNTING POLICY NOTE

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Consolidated Entity prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

	2021 2020 $ $
Current Employee benefits – annual leave Non-Current Employee benefits – long service leave	93,838 21,755 - - 93,838 21,755

Amounts not expected to be settled within the next 12 months

The entire annual leave obligation is presented as current as the Consolidated Entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement. The non-current provision for long service leave is a provision towards the future entitlements of employees who will have completed the required period of long service and that is not expected to be taken or paid within the next 12 months.

ACCOUNTING POLICY NOTE

Employee Benefits

(i) Short-term obligations

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave expected to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees' services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liability for annual leave is recognised in other payables and accruals together with other employee benefit obligations.

(ii) Other long-term employee benefit obligations

The liability for long service leave and annual leave which is expected to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related service is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the end of the reporting period on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.

(i) On 16 April 2017, Al Hadeetha Resources LLC ( AHR ) (the joint venture company which conducts the Al Hadeetha Copper-Gold Project (Project), in which the Company is a 51% shareholder) entered into an unsecured loan agreement as borrower with Al Hadeetha Investments LLC ( Lender ) (an un-related company, which holds the remaining 30% of the shares in AHR). Under the agreement, AHR may draw down a maximum of USD 2 million (AUD 2,663,982; OMR 767,774) to assist with working capital for the Project ( AHI to AHR Loan ). The AHI to AHR Loan bears interest at LIBOR plus two percent per annum. The Loan will be in effect for the duration of the Project joint venture agreement, at which time AHR must repay any outstanding balance. AHR must make interim repayments equal to its available net cash profit (if any) at the end of each financial year. During the year AHR has not made any drawdowns under the Loan. The total amount drawn down (being the total amount owing by AHR under the Loan to the end of the year (after offsetting corresponding debit balance of OMR 18,095; AUD 62,436) OMR 188,795 (USD 489,073; AUD 651,442). If AHR determines at the end of any quarter or other period that it has a working capital shortfall it may draw down the whole or part of the shortfall, until the entire Loan amount is drawn down. The remaining, un-drawn balance of the Loan is OMR 561,276 (USD 1,462,086; AUD 1,947,485) (This is the undrawn balance based on the gross drawdown amount of loan without offsetting the corresponding debit balance of OMR 18,095; AUD 62,436).

Although the AHI to AHR Loan is shown as a liability in the consolidated financial statements, loans by entities within the Alara Consolidated Entity to AHR, which is also within that Consolidated Entity ( Consolidated Entity AHR Loans ) are not shown in the consolidated financial statements. The Consolidated Entity AHR Loans total AUD 17.7 million and are subject to the same loan terms as the AHI to AHR Loan. The Consolidated Entity AHR Loans are repayable on the same basis as the AHI to AHR Loan. Therefore, if AHR makes a loan repayment to AHI, AHR will also be required to make a loan repayment to its lenders within the Alara Consolidated Group on a pro-rata basis.

Each fully paid ordinary share carries one vote per share and the right to participate in dividends. Ordinary shares have no par value and the Company does not have a limit on the amount of its capital.

Capital risk management

The Consolidated Entity's objective when managing its capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain a capital structure balancing the interests of all shareholders. The Board will consider capital management initiatives as is appropriate and in the best interests of the Consolidated Entity and shareholders from time to time. The Consolidated Entity had no external borrowings as at 30 June 2021, other than as disclosed in Note 18. The Consolidated Entity's non-cash investments can be realised to meet accounts payable arising in the normal course of business.

Accounting Policy Note

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, net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options, or for the acquisition of a business, are included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.

21. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

There were no shares issued as a result of the exercise of any options during the year (2021: NIL).

ACCOUNTING POLICY NOTE

Director/Employee Options

The fair value of options granted by the Company to directors and employees is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured as at grant date and is expensed in full as at their date of issue where they are 100% vested on grant and otherwise over their vesting period (where applicable). The fair value at grant date is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the vesting criteria, the unlisted nature of the option, the share price at grant date and the expected price volatility of the underlying shares in the Company, and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option. Upon the exercise of options, the balance of the reserve relating to those options is transferred to share capital.

22. SEGMENT INFORMATION

ACCOUNTING POLICY NOTE

Operating Segments

The Consolidated Entity has applied AASB 8: Operating Segments which requires that segment information be presented on the same basis as that used for internal reporting purposes. An operating segment is a component of the Consolidated Entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses. An operating segment's operating results are reviewed regularly by management to make decisions on allocation of resources to the relevant segments and assess performance. Unallocated items comprise mainly share investments, corporate and office expenses.

23. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Consolidated Entity's financial instruments mainly consist of deposits with banks, accounts receivable and payable, and investments. The principal activity of the Consolidated Entity is resource exploration, evaluation and development. The main risks arising from the Consolidated Entity's financial instruments are market (which includes price, interest rate and foreign exchange risks), credit and liquidity risks. Risk management is carried out by the Board of Directors. The Board evaluates, monitors and manages the Consolidated Entity's financial risk in close co-operation with its operating units. The financial receivables and payables of the Consolidated Entity in the table below are due or payable within 30 days. The financial investments are held for trading and are realised at the discretion of the Board.

The Consolidated Entity holds the following financial instruments:

	2021 2020 $ $
Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents Financial instruments (term deposits) Trade and other receivables Financial asset Financial liabilities at amortised cost Trade and other payables Financial liabilities Net Financial Assets	4,241,815 7,674,616 1,039,829 8,661 38,566 30,633 444,427 422,342 5,764,637 8,136,252 (988,405) (267,734) (723,128) (684,411) (1,711,533) (952,145) 4,053,104 7,184,107

(a) Market Risk

(i) Price risk

The Consolidated Entity is exposed to equity securities price risk. This arises from investments held by the Consolidated Entity and classified in the statement of financial position at fair value through profit or loss. The Consolidated Entity is not directly exposed to commodity price risk. The value of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices, whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual instrument or its issuer or factors affecting all instruments in the market. The Consolidated Entity does not manage this risk through entering into derivative contracts, futures, options or swaps. Market risk is minimised through ensuring that investment activities are undertaken in accordance with Board established mandate limits and investment strategies.

(ii) interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Consolidated Entity's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relate primarily to investments held in interest bearing instruments and its loan from third parties. The average interest rate applicable to funds held on deposit during the year was 0.25 % (2020: 1.15%).

(iii) Foreign exchange risk

The Consolidated Entity is exposed to foreign currency risk in cash held in Omani Riyals (OMR) by the Consolidated Entity's foreign controlled entity, foreign resource project investment commitments and exploration and evaluation expenditure on foreign exploration and evaluation. The primary currency giving rise to this risk is Omani Riyals (OMR). The Consolidated Entity has not entered into any forward exchange contracts as at reporting date and is currently fully exposed to foreign exchange risk. The Consolidated Entity's exposure to foreign currency risk at reporting date was as follows:

date was as follows:
	2021 2020 OMR OMR
Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Trade and other payables Non-current financial liabilities	817,141 1,621,512 124,385 209,152 (245,804) (44,068) (206,376) (201,753) 489,346 1,584,843

	2021 2020 US$ US$
Cash and cash equivalents	71 - 71 -

The Consolidated Entity's exposure to foreign exchange risk is mitigated by having comparable asset and liability balances in OMR and US dollars. Therefore, a sensitivity analysis has not been performed. The Consolidated Entity enters into forward exchange contracts with its Australian bank from time to time to hedge against foreign exchange risk.

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty under a financial instrument will default (in whole or in part) on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Consolidated Entity. Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by undertaking appropriate due diligence on potential investments, carrying out all market transactions through approved brokers, settling non-market transactions with the involvement of suitably qualified legal and accounting personnel (both internal and external), and obtaining sufficient collateral or other security (where appropriate) as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. This financial year there was no necessity to obtain collateral.

The credit quality of the financial assets are neither past due nor impaired and can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings (if available with Standard & Poor's) or to historical information about counterparty default rates. The maximum exposure to credit risk at reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets as summarised below:

	2021 2020 $ $
Cash and cash equivalents BB- No external credit rating available Trade and other receivables (due within 30 days) No external credit rating available	4,241,273 7,674,377 542 239 4,241,815 7,674,616 38,566 30,633 38,566 30,633

The Consolidated Entity measures credit risk on a fair value basis. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any provision for losses, represents the Consolidated Entity’s maximum exposure to credit risk. All receivables noted above are due within 30 days. None of the above receivables are past due.

AlaraNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementResources Annual Report 2021 for the year ended 30 June 2021

(c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Consolidated Entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. There is sufficient cash and cash equivalents and the non-cash investments can be realised to meet accounts payable arising in the normal course of business. The financial liabilities maturity obligation is disclosed below:

(d) Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

The carrying amount of financial instruments recorded in the financial statements represents their fair value determined in accordance with the accounting policies disclosed in Note 1. The aggregate fair value and carrying amount of financial assets at reporting date are set out in Notes 7,8 and 10. The financial liabilities at reporting date are set out in Note 15 and 18.

(e) Fair value measurements

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. The Consolidated Entity’s financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair values.

ACCOUNTING POLICY NOTE

Financial Instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the entity commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted).

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except where the instrument is classified ‘at fair value through profit or loss’, in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Subsequent to initial recognition, these instruments are measured as set out below:

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss - A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or if so designated by management and within the requirements of AASB 139: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of these assets are included in the profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
Loans and receivables - Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Financial liabilities - Non-derivative financial liabilities are recognised at amortised cost, comprising original debt less principal payments and amortisation.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial StatementAlara Resources Annual Report 2021 for the year ended 30 June 2021

Fair Value Estimation

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, and trading and available-for-sale securities) is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Consolidated Entity is the current bid price; the appropriate quoted market price for financial liabilities is the current ask price. The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques, including but not limited to recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models. The Consolidated Entity may use a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each reporting date. Other techniques, such as estimated discounted cash flows, are used to determine fair value for other financial instruments.

The nominal value less estimated credit adjustments of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Consolidated Entity for similar financial instruments. The Consolidated Entity’s investment portfolio (comprising listed and unlisted securities) is accounted for as a “financial assets at fair value through profit or loss” and is carried at fair value based on the quoted last bid prices at reporting date.

28. CONTINGENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Contingent assets and liabilities exist in relation to certain exploration and evaluation of the Consolidated Entity subject to the continued development and advancement of the same, as described below.

(a) Shareholders’ Agreement – Daris Resources LLC – Daris Copper-Gold Project (Oman) – On 28 August 2010, Alara Oman Operations Pty Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a shareholders’ agreement with Daris Copper Project concession holder, Al Tamman Trading Establishment LLC (ATTE). Under the agreement Alara may invest up to USD 7m in a joint venture company Daris Resources LLC (DRL) to gain up to a 70% shareholding. Daris Resources LLC ( DRL ) was incorporated in Oman on 1 December 2010 (Alara 50%: ATTE 50%). To the extent that further funding is required, Alara is entitled to advance up to USD 4m to DRL as a loan (on commercial terms and repayable as a priority before distribution of dividends) – convertible into equity in DRL to take Alara’s interest to 70%. DRL has exclusive rights (to be further formalised under a management agreement with ATTE) to manage, operate and commercially exploit the concession. DRL is governed by a 6-member board of directors with 3 nominees (including the Chairman) from Alara and 3 from ATTE.
(b) Shareholders’ Agreement – Alara Resources LLC (Oman) – On 8 August 2010, Alara Oman Operations Pty Limited (AOOPL), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered a shareholders’ agreement with Sur United International Co. LLC (Sur) under which a joint venture company Alara Resources LLC (ARL) was established to identify and exploit mineral exploration opportunities in Oman. Alara contributed 100% of ARL’s initial capital of 150,000 Omani Rials (RO) (then equivalent to approx. AUD 425,000) for a 70% interest in ARL, with Sur then holding the balance of 30%. Alara transferred a 35% shareholding in ARL to South-West Pinnacle Exploration Ltd in 2018. In January 2019 Sur transferred its 30% shareholding in ARL to Al Tasnim Infrastructure Services LLC. ARL now conducts the business of drilling and exploration services.
(c) Shareholders’ Agreement – Al Hadeetha Copper-Gold Project (Oman) – On 23 November 2011, Alara Oman Operations Pty Limited (AOOPL), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a shareholders’ agreement with Al Hadeetha Investments LLC (AHI) to regulate the two companies’ investment in Al Hadeetha Resources LLC (AHRL). On 18 November 2018 AOOPL sold a 19% interest in AHR to Al Tasnim Infrastructure Services LLC (Al Tasnim). AHRL is governed by a 4-member Board of Directors, with two Directors appointed by Alara (including the Chairman) and one appointed by AHI (provided it continues to own at least 21% of the AHRL shares) and one appointed by Al Tasnim (provided that it continues to own at least 19% of the AHRL shares).
(d) Directors’ Deeds – The Company has entered into deeds of indemnity with each of its Directors indemnifying them against liability incurred in discharging their duties as directors/officers of the Consolidated Entity. As at the reporting date, no claims have been made under any such indemnities and accordingly, it is not possible to quantify the potential financial obligation of the Consolidated Entity under these indemnities.
(e) Bayan Mining LLC JV Agreement – On 16 July 2015 Saudi Investments Pty Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) entered into a JV agreement with Bayan Mining LLC. 40,000,000 shares are to be issued upon satisfaction of all of the conditions precedent, which includes the granting of the Khnaiguiyah mining licence to Bayan or the JV.
(f) Loan to unrelated party (AHI) (Oman) – On 26 October 2017 Al Hadeetha Investments LLC ( AHI ) gave a bank guarantee of OMR 30,000 to the Omani Ministry of the Environment as security for performance of the environmental obligations of AHRL in connection with the Al Wash-hi Majaza Project mining licence. AHI was required to deposit the amount of the face value of the bank guarantee with its bank as

==> picture [64 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

Notes to the Consolidated Financial StatementAlara Resources Annual Report 2021 for the year ended 30 June 2021

security in the event that the bank guarantee is called upon. Pursuant to an agreement between the Consolidated Entity and AHI, the Consolidated Entity paid OMR 20,000 to AHI on or about that date, representing an approximation of its share of liability to contribute to the costs of remediating any unmet environmental obligations of AHR. This amount will be returned to the Consolidated Entity in the event that AHRL performs its environmental obligations in relation to that mining licence.

29. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Events occurring after the balance date are set out as below:

Al Wash-hi Majaza Project (“Project”) development

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF

ALARA RESOURCES LIMITED

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Alara Resources Limited (“the Company”) and its controlled entities (“the Group”) which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended on that date and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and the directors’ declaration of the Company.

In our opinion the financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

(i) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2021 and of its financial performance for the year ended on that date; and
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under these standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of this report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (Including Independence Standards) (the “Code”) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF

ALARA RESOURCES LIMITED (continued)

Key Audit Matter – Cash and Cash Equivalents

How our Audit Addressed the Key Audit Matter

The Group’s cash and cash equivalents make up 80% of total current assets by value and are considered to be the key driver of the Group’s operations and exploration activities.

We do not consider cash and cash equivalents to be at a high risk of significant misstatement, or to be subject to a significant level of judgement.

However due to the materiality in the context of the financial statements as a whole, this is considered to be an area which had an effect on our overall strategy and allocation of resources in planning and completing our audit.

Our procedures over the existence of the Group’s cash and cash equivalents included but were not limited to:

Testing a sample of cash payments to determine they were bona fide payments, were properly authorised and recorded in the general ledger;
Checking the appropriateness of foreign exchange rates used for cash and cash equivalents denominated in foreign currencies; and
Agreeing significant cash holdings to independent third-party confirmations.

We have also assessed the appropriateness of the disclosures included in the financial report.

Key Audit Matter – Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure and Mine Properties and Development Assets

The Group incurred significant expenditure on exploration and evaluation and mine properties and development assets during the year.

We do not consider exploration and evaluation and mine properties and development assets to be at a high risk of significant misstatement, or to be subject to a significant level of judgement. However due to the materiality in the context of the financial statements as a whole, this is considered to be an area which had an effect on our overall strategy and allocation of resources in planning and completing our audit.

How our Audit Addressed the Key Audit Matter

Our procedures in assessing exploration and evaluation and mine properties and development assets included but were not limited to the following:

We assessed the reasonableness of capitalising exploration and evaluation expenditure in accordance with AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources .
We considered whether there were any indicators of impairment;
We tested a sample of expenditure to supporting documentation to ensure they were bona fide payments; and
We documented and assessed the processes and controls in place to record expenditure.

We have also assessed the appropriateness of the disclosures included in the financial report. 77

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF

ALARA RESOURCES LIMITED (continued)

Other Information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2021, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If based on the work we have performed we conclude there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at: www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx.

We communicate with the directors regarding, amongst other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Alara Resources Annual Report 2021

Independent Auditor’s Report

==> picture [105 x 73] intentionally omitted <==

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF

ALARA RESOURCES LIMITED (continued)

We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.

We describe those matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communications.

Report on the Remuneration Report

Opinion on the Remuneration Report

We have audited the remuneration report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2021.

In our opinion the remuneration report of Alara Resources Limited for the year ended 30 June 2021 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 .

Responsibilities

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 . Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
