BPM Minerals Limited Chairman's Letter 30 June 2021

==> picture [68 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

To our Shareholders,

BPM was the final listing for 2020 and has been among the very best share price performers for new listings in both CY20 and CY21.

Our first six months has been a whirlwind, we launched the Company onto the Stock Exchange, appointed our CEO, completed our first drilling program at Nepean and the year was barely three months old.

This, I believe, is what makes BPM such a promising exploration Company, we move quickly and strategically, seeking high-upside opportunities that we execute through the strategic alignment of Board and Management team.

Such an opportunity presented in early May, when a package of Projects in the Earaheedy Basin, an emerging lead-zinc hotspot, was presented to the Company for acquisition. Utilising our inhouse expertise and newly hired Exploration Manager, we executed the acquisition and had our team on the ground in the Earaheedy that same month.

The acquisition was supported by a modest placement which underwrote the acquisition costs and helped us drive our first foray into the Earaheedy.

Our endeavours have also been blessed with some good fortune. Discoveries directly abutting our Nepean and Claw Projects have driven interest in the Company as well as providing some unexpected exploration upside, with historical drilling at the Claw identifying walk up drilling targets.

The next 12 months for the Company are now firmly set on making a discovery, we have exposure to some of Western Australia’s most prospective Belt and Basin Geology and a management team hungry for success.

I would like to thank the whole BPM family, our shareholders and all our other stakeholders for their contributions during the first six months of our Company’s history.

With multiple high-value projects having enormous exploration potential, the next 12 months are sure to be exciting as we look to execute our exploration plans on a number of Project fronts.

Yours sincerely

Paul Lloyd Non-Executive Chairman

PROJECTS OVERVIEW

Santy Gold Project

Granted in April 2021, the Santy Gold Project (Fig. 1) comprises two exploration licences 59/2407 and 59/2437 covering 251km[2] and 412km[2 ] of contiguous ground under application (total 663km[2] ).

BPM Minerals Limited Directors' report 30 June 2021

==> picture [68 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

The project is located approximately 430 km north of Perth and 130 km northeast of Geraldton. The Santy Gold Project lies on the north-eastern end of the Archaean Tallering Greenstone Belt, within the Norie Group, located along the western edge of the Murchison domain in the Yilgarn Craton.

The Santy Gold Project hosts various gold prospect areas within a mostly outcropping part of the Tallering Greenstone Belt.

During the reporting period, the Company engaged an independent consultant to complete a geological/structural interpretation and targeting study on the Santy Project using both satellite imagery and airborne magnetics.

This resulted in a total of 17 targets related to interpreted structural and magnetic features being identified. The study concluded that the magnetics at the Santy Project are dominated by strong northeast to north-northeast magnetic trends through the project area. A secondary structural overprint trending to the north-northwest is also evident.

The Santy project has three distinct geological target areas, including:

  • Northeast Anticlinal Closure: An interpreted anticline extending north-eastward into the Santy project area from Tallering Peak and interpreted to plunge to the north.

  • Fault/Structural Intersection Zones: Several major fault intersection zones including the main Santy Target (surface rock chips up to 100.6 g/t Au).

  • Ultramafic and Magnetic Targets: 2.8km-long magnetic high located on the contact between the greenstone belt to the south and the granite-gneiss terrain to the north. Historic Aircore Holes targeting the magnetic anomaly intersected highly anomalous Nickel, Copper, Cobalt, and Chromium values.

Post reporting period, the Company completed a first pass aircore drilling program with 108-holes completed (totalling 3,541m) (Fig. 2). Chip logging has confirmed important geological features, including wide zones of sulphides, comparable to adjacent gold projects within the Santy Gold Project area.

878 samples were submitted to ALS Perth, with aircore assay results expected to be returned mid-late October. A detailed soil geochemistry program was also completed across gold and base-metal targets, with encouraging results, including:

  • Two +1km-long zones of gold anomalism with a peak value returned of 156ppb Au.

  • Two +500m-long zones of copper-zinc anomalism with elevated levels of cobalt and manganese.

Three high-priority targets, all located on the Tallering Greenstone Belt and along strike from Adaman Resources A Zone Deposit (63,000 oz Au at 2.1g/t gold) and the Mixy Deposit (65,000 oz Au 4.3g/t gold), remain untested.

Drilling and soil geochemistry results to form part of a follow-up exploration program planned for Q4 2021 and will include the untested Greenstone targets.

Earaheedy Projects

In early May, the Company announced the acquisition of Recharge Resources, a private Company with landholdings in the Earaheedy Basin, a Lead and Zinc exploration hot spot following the Rumble Resources (ASX:RTR) discovery.

The Hawkins Project is the main focus for the Company, located approximately 40km northwest along strike from the Rumble Resources Chinook lead-zinc discovery (34m @ 4.22% Pb + Zn) (Fig. 3).

Figure 3 - Hawkins Project, along strike from Rumble Resources Chinook Discovery, both within the Earaheedy Basin.

The Project covers a significant strike length of the prospective Frere-Yelma Formation unconformity on the western margin of the basin. The tenement is currently in application and is expected to be granted in the coming weeks, once accessible, on ground exploration programs are set to commence.

An external consultant has recently completed an integrated aeromagnetic-photographic interpretation of the Hawkins project culminating in the identification of 17 targets.

The interpretation has highlighted six areas that can be classified into separate domains. This process has led to 3 of the domains being highlighted as being highly prospective litho-structural settings for Pb-Zn-Ag mineralisation.

The 6 domains are summarised as follows:

East-West Graben

  • Bounding faults possibly represent early deep-seated structures that penetrate through the Earaheedy basement potentially acting as conduits for mineralised fluids exhaling through the basin.

  • Targets H1-H5 are located on the northern bounding fault with Targets H7, H8 & H12 located on the southern bounding fault. All targets are associated with the intersection of further cross cutting services.

North-West Wrench Corridor

  • Two sub-parallel NW trending fault zones extending through the east of the tenement.

  • Faults on this orientation are considered to be significant conduits for mineralised fluid flow at Rumble's Chinook deposit. Again, these structures are likely to represent deep seated structures.

  • Targets H5, H6 & H13 are associated with this domain and again are mostly associated with the intersection of structures.

  • Historical drilling undertaken by iron ore explorers in this area did not penetrate through to the prospective unconformity.

8

BPM Minerals Limited Directors' report 30 June 2021

==> picture [68 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

Central Folded Lens

  • Numerous faulted offsets and terminations are observed with targets associated with rotational blocks to the west and offsets and folding within the central portion and tonal anomalies within folding and faulting to the east of the area.

  • Targets H9-11 & H14-17 have been identified within this domain.

  • Black and red tonal anomalies are possibly related to iron and/or manganese staining potentially associated with exhalative activity.

  • Both shallow and deep conductors have been identified within 2014 geophysical review by Resource Potentials (over the eastern third of Hawkins) (refer WAMEX Open File Report A107025). These EM anomalies are associated with structural targets H9 & H10 and could potentially represent sulphide mineralisation.

The identification of the fundamental deep seated basin penetrating structures with similarities to the underlying structures at Rumble’s Chinook Deposit, plus the observation of the highly prospective East-West Graben domain have highlighted a structural regime at Hawkins that is highly prospective for Pb-Zn-Ag mineralisation.

Limited historic RC drilling in 1997 exploring for Pb-Zn-Ag mineralisation at the Pinnacles prospect located on the northern fault of the East-West Graben returned a best intercept of 2m @ 0.56% Zn+Pb (refer WAMEX Open File Report A053541). The presence of mineralisation at the Pinnacles prospect highlights the structure as a probable conduit for mineralised fluids and the prospectivity of the structure and domain.

The next phase of exploration at Hawkins upon tenement grant will include detailed gravity surveying across the project area with focus around the 17 targets highlighted within the interpretation. Gravity data will assist with directly identifying dense, laterally extensive bodies of sulphide mineralisation and also the identification of fundamental structures for targeting. This phase of work is expected to commence in late Q3 upon the grant of the tenement.

Located approximately 820km northeast of Perth and 125km north of Wiluna, the Paleoproterozoic Earaheedy Basin has previously been recognised for its economic iron ore and base metal potential, with recent high-grade Pb-Zn drill intercepts by Rumble Resources renewing interest in the region.

Importantly, the ground was pegged prior to the recent Rumble Resources discovery, delivering a first mover advantage with all surrounding ground now fully pegged.

All three Earaheedy Projects - Hawkins, Ivan Well and Rhodes - cover the same stratigraphic target zone as the Rumble Resources Chinook and Magazine Pb-Zn discoveries (Fig. 4).

Nepean

The Nepean Gold and Nickel Project comprises a single granted exploration licence covering an area of approximately 39km2.

The Project is located approximately 500 km east of Perth and 30 km south-southwest of Coolgardie. The Nepean Gold and Nickel Project area is located within the Coolgardie Domain, close to the Bullabulling Domain which are separated by the Bullabulling Shear Zone.

The historical Nepean nickel sulphide deposit, which was discovered in 1968, is located less than 4 km north of BPM’s Nepean Gold and Nickel Project.

Previous exploration during the 1980s targeted nickel sulphide mineralisation with only some drill hole samples sporadically analysed for gold.

In March this year, BPM completed a reconnaissance 139-hole maiden aircore (AC) drill program (totalling 5,836m). Holes NAC0001NAC0029 targeted nickel and gold anomalies (Fig. 6) identified in previous drilling completed by Metals Exploration Ltd (MLX) more than 20 years ago.

Better intercepts included:

  • NAC014: 19m @ 0.29% Ni from 25m, including 15m @ 0.36% Ni from 25m

  • NAC015: 33m @ 0.20% Ni from 20m, including 5m @ 0.33% Ni from 25m

  • NAC016: 47m @ 0.17% Ni from 20m

Three nickel targets identified with results up to 4,000 ppm Ni and 590 ppm Co (Figure 6). There were also 6 Gold (Au) targets identified with a maximum intercept of 1m @ 0.18 ppm Au from reconnaissance holes. Drilling successfully identified intercalated ultramafic/mafic rocks which are potentially fertile for nickel sulphide mineralisation (Fig. 7).

The Company will follow-up with a high-powered ground Moving-Loop Electromagnetic (MLEM) survey to identify potential bedrock conductors. Further AC drilling is also planned to refine Ni and Au targets for a potential deeper DD/RC program.

Claw

The Claw Project is located approximately 250km NE of Perth in the Murchison-Mid West region of Western Australia and is prospective for gold and base metal mineralisation.

Post reporting period, the Company announced a review of historical open file drilling data which identified two ready-to-drill gold anomalies (Fig. 8). The Chickie and Louie gold anomalies lie within a 33km-long structural corridor that hosts Capricorn Metals 2.1Moz Mount Gibson Gold Project, located directly along strike and abutting BPM’s Claw Project.

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

The objective of the Group's executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. The framework aligns executive reward with the achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value for shareholders, and it is considered to conform to the market best practice for the delivery of reward. The Board of Directors ('the Board') ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward governance practices:

  • competitiveness and reasonableness

  • acceptability to shareholders

  • performance linkage / alignment of executive compensation

  • transparency

The Board has structured an executive remuneration framework that is market competitive and complementary to the reward strategy of the Group.

The reward framework is designed to align executive reward to shareholders' interests. The Board have considered that it should seek to enhance shareholders' interests by:

  • focusing on sustained growth in shareholder wealth, raising capital for current and additional projects and delivering constant or increasing return on assets as well as focusing the executive on key non-financial drivers of value

  • attracting and retaining high calibre executives

  • attracting and retaining high calibre executives

Additionally, the reward framework should seek to enhance executives' interests by:

  • rewarding capability and experience

  • reflecting competitive reward for contribution to growth in shareholder wealth

  • providing a clear structure for earning rewards

Non-executive Directors remuneration

Fees and payments to non-executive Directors reflect the demands and responsibilities of their role. Non-executive Directors' fees and payments are reviewed annually.

Executive remuneration

The Group aims to reward executives based on their position and responsibility, with a level and mix of remuneration which has both fixed and variable components.

The executive remuneration and reward framework has four components:

  • base pay and non-monetary benefits

  • short-term performance incentives

BPM Minerals Limited Directors' report 30 June 2021

==> picture [68 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

Fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary, superannuation and non-monetary benefits, are reviewed annually by the Board based on individual and business unit performance, the overall performance of the Group and comparable market remunerations.

Executives may receive their fixed remuneration in the form of cash or other fringe benefits (for example motor vehicle benefits) where it does not create any additional costs to the Group and provides additional value to the executive.

The short-term incentives ('STI') program is designed to align the targets of the business units with the performance hurdles of executives. STI payments are granted to executives based on specific annual targets and key performance indicators ('KPI's') being achieved. KPI's include profit contribution, customer satisfaction, leadership contribution and product management.

The long-term incentives ('LTI') include long service leave and share-based payments. Share based payments can include options or performance rights (PRs) granted under the Company's Employee Incentive Scheme. Options or PRs are granted to encourage sustained performance in the realisation of strategic outcomes and growth in shareholder value. The Company has not awarded any options or performance rights to directors or senior executives to date.

Consolidated entity performance and link to remuneration

The Company will seek to formalise a link between remuneration for certain individuals to the performance of the Group.

Use of remuneration consultants

The board did not engage a remuneration consultant to make any recommendations in relation to its remuneration policies for any of the key management personnel for the Company during the financial year.

Voting and comments made at the Company's Annual General Meeting ('AGM')

As the Company was incorporated on 11 September 2020, it is yet to hold an AGM where voting on the adoption of the remuneration report is required.

Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the financial period by the auditor are outlined in note 19 to the financial statements.

The Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the financial period, by the auditor (or by another person or firm on the auditor's behalf), is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.

  • all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and

  • none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board, including reviewing or auditing the auditor's own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the Company, acting as advocate for the Company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.

BPM Minerals Limited Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2021

==> picture [68 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

Note 1. General information

The financial statements cover BPM Minerals Limited as a Group consisting of BPM Minerals Limited and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year. The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is BPM Minerals Limited's functional and presentation currency.

BPM Minerals Limited is a listed public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Its registered office and principal place of business is:

Level 1, 10 Outram Street, West Perth, Western Australia, 6005

A description of the nature of the Group's operations and its principal activities are included in the Directors' report, which is not part of the financial statements.

The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of Directors, on 24 September 2021. The Directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements.

Note 2. Comparatives

As BPM Minerals Limited was incorporated on 11 September 2020, there are no comparatives to disclose in this financial report. The financing report therefore covers the period from incorporation to 30 June 2021.

Note 3. Significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out either in the respective notes or below.

New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

The Group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. There was no material impact to Group accounting policies.

Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted, however are not expected to have a material impact on Group accounting policies.

Going concern

The annual financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of the business.

The Group has incurred a net loss after tax for the year ended 30 June 2021 of $534,090 and had net cash inflows from operating, investing and financing activities of $5,430,587. As at 30 June 2021 the Group had a working capital surplus of $4,674,350 and cash and cash equivalents of $5,430,587.

Basis of preparation

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for forprofit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').

Historical cost convention

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, investment properties, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments.

28

BPM Minerals Limited Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2021

==> picture [68 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

Note 3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 4.

Parent entity information

In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the Group only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 25.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of BPM Minerals Limited ('BPM Minerals Limited' or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2021 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. BPM Minerals Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'Group'.

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the Group are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent.

Current and non-current classification

Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.

An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the Group's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the Group's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.

Impairment of non-financial assets

Non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit.

Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

29

BPM Minerals Limited Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2021

==> picture [68 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

Note 3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority.

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2021. The Group has not yet assessed the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations.

Note 4. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may have, on the Group based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the Group operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the Group unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID19) pandemic.

Share-based payment transactions

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equitysettled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.

Exploration and evaluation costs

Exploration and evaluation costs have been capitalised on the basis that the Group will commence commercial production in the future, from which time the costs will be amortised in proportion to the depletion of the mineral resources. Key judgements are applied in considering costs to be capitalised which includes determining expenditures directly related to these activities and allocating overheads between those that are expensed and capitalised. In addition, costs are only capitalised that are expected to be recovered through successful development or sale of the relevant mining interest. Factors that could impact the future commercial production at the mine include the level or reserves and resources, future technology changes, which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes and changes in commodity prices. To the extent that capitalised costs are determined not to be recoverable in the future, they will be written off in the period in which this determination is made.

Note 5. Operating segments

Identification of reportable operating segments

The group has identified its operating segments on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources.

30

BPM Minerals Limited Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2021

==> picture [68 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

Note 5. Operating segments (continued)

The Group currently operates in one operating segment being mineral exploration and evaluation in Australia.

Reportable segments disclosed are based on aggregating leases where the evaluation and exploration interests are considered to form a single project. This is indicated by:

  • having the same ownership structure;

  • exploration being focused on gold; and

  • exploration programs targeting the leases as a group, indicated by the use of the same exploration team, shared geological data and knowledge across the leases.

Unless otherwise stated, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors as the chief decision maker are determined in accordance with AASB 8 Operating Segments.

Accounting policy for operating segments

Operating segments are presented using the 'management approach', where the information presented is on the same basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM'). The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.

The above potential tax benefit, which excludes tax losses, for deductible temporary differences has not been recognised in the statement of financial position as the recovery of this benefit is uncertain.

The corporate tax rate for eligible companies will reduce from 30% to 25% by 30 June 2022 providing certain turnover thresholds and other criteria are met. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are required to be measured at the tax rate that is expected to apply in the future income year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled. The Directors have determined that the deferred tax balances be measured at the tax rates stated.

Refer to note 24 for details of an asset acquisition during the period.

Accounting policy for exploration and evaluation assets

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred by or on behalf of the Group is accumulated separately for each area of interest. Such expenditure comprises net direct costs and an appropriate portion of related overhead expenditure but does not include general overheads or administrative expenditure not having a specific nexus with a particular area of interest.

Each area of interest is limited to a size related to a known or probable mineral resource capable of supporting a mining operation.

Exploration and evaluation expenditure for each area of interest is expensed as incurred unless one of the following conditions is met:

  • such costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest or, alternatively, by its sale; or

  • exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in relation to the area are continuing.

Expenditure which fails to meet the conditions outlined above is written off, furthermore, the directors regularly review the carrying value of exploration and evaluation expenditure and make write downs if the values are not expected to be recoverable.

Identifiable exploration assets acquired are recognised as assets at their cost of acquisition. Exploration assets acquired are reassessed on a regular basis and these costs are carried forward provided that at least one of the conditions referred to above is met.

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred subsequent to acquisition in respect of an exploration asset acquired, is accounted for in accordance with the policy outlined above for exploration expenditure incurred by or on behalf of the entity.

When an area of interest is abandoned, any expenditure carried forward in respect of that area is written off. Expenditure is not carried forward in respect of any area of interest unless the Group’s right of tenure to that area of interest is current.

Exploration and evaluation expenditure in relation to separate areas of interest for which rights of tenure are current is carried forward as an asset in the statement of financial position where it is expected that the expenditure will be recovered through the successful development and exploitation of an area of interest, or by its sale; or exploration activities are continuing in an area and activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable estimate of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves. Where a project or an area of interest has been abandoned, the expenditure incurred thereon is written off in the year in which the decision is made.

Note 13. Issued capital (continued)

Accounting policy for issued capital

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.

Capital risk management

The group's objectives when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the statement of financial position, plus net debt. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

The Group would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company was seen as value adding relative to the Company's share price at the time of investment.

The Group is subject to certain financing arrangements covenants and meeting these is given priority in all capital risk management decisions. There have been no events of default on the financing arrangements during the financial year.

Note 14. Options

On 11 September 2020 the Company issued 10,000,000 options to the Company's founders on incorporation of the Company. The options are exercisable at $0.25 on or before 11 September 2025 and has a trivial balance on issue.

Note 17. Financial instruments

Financial risk management objectives

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including price risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management program seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities.

Risk management is carried out by the Board of Directors ('the Board'). The Board identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks within the Group.

Market risk

Price risk

The Group is not exposed to any significant price risk.

Interest rate risk

The Group only has interest rate risk relating to its funds on deposit with banking institutions. Accordingly, the Group does not hedge its interest rate risk exposure.

As at the reporting date, the Group had the following financial assets with exposure to interest rate risk, which is not material to the Group:

2021
Weighted
average
interest rate Balance
Consolidated % $
Cash assets - 5,430,587
Net exposure to cash flow interest rate risk 5,430,587

Other financial instruments of the Group that are not included in the table above are non-interest bearing and are therefore not subject to interest rate risk.

An analysis by remaining contractual maturities in shown in 'liquidity risk management' below.

Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group has a strict code of credit, including obtaining agency credit information, confirming references and setting appropriate credit limits. The Group obtains guarantees where appropriate to mitigate credit risk.

The Group is not exposed to any significant credit risk.

Liquidity risk

Vigilant liquidity risk management requires the Group to maintain sufficient liquid assets (mainly cash and cash equivalents) and available borrowing facilities to be able to pay debts as and when they become due and payable.

The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and available borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

The cash flows in the maturity analysis above are not expected to occur significantly earlier than contractually disclosed above.

Fair value of financial instruments

A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurable date. Fair value for measurement and / or disclosure purposes in these consolidated financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of AASB 2 and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in AASB 2 or value in use in AASB 136.

Fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

  • Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurable date;

  • Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

  • Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Unless otherwise stated, the carrying amounts of financial instruments reflect their fair value.

Note 18. Fair value measurement

Accounting policy for fair value measurement

When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.

Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

Performance Rights:

On 5 February 2021, the Company announced the appointment of Mr Christopher Swallow as Chief Executive Officer ('CEO'). As part of Mr Swallow's remuneration, it was agreed Mr Swallow would be granted the following Performance Rights with the following milestones attached to them:

  • Class A Performance Rights: 375,000 Performance Rights will vest and become exercisable upon the Company raising a cumulative additional $4,000,000 of capital in support of its current or additional projects within two years of the Executive’s appointment as CEO; - Class B Performance Rights: 187,500 Performance Rights will vest and become exercisable on the 12-month anniversary of the Executive’s appointment as CEO; and

  • Class C Performance Rights: 187,500 Performance Rights will vest and become exercisable on the 24-month anniversary of the Executive’s appointment as CEO.

As at 30 June 2021, the Performance Rights are yet to be granted. However, as Mr Swallow has been acting as CEO from his appointment date, the relevant portion of value for the Performance Rights has been accrued at year end. The Performance Rights have a nil exercise price and a deemed value of $262,500 to be recognised over the expiry period of each class of Performance Rights. The share price used for valuation purposes was $0.35, being the price as at 30 June 2021.

Facilitation Shares and Options:

As announced on 15 May 2021, the Company had entered into a transaction to acquire all of the share capital of Recharge Resources Pty Ltd. In consideration for the introduction of the transaction, the Company agreed to issue Inyati Capital Pty Ltd 562,500 Shares and 562,500 Options.

The issue of the securities was subject to shareholder approval at a meeting of shareholders held on 15 July 2021, therefore as at 30 June 2021 the shares and options have not yet been issued and have been accrued for. The shares have been valued using the share price of $0.21 per share, being the price at the date the agreement was signed with Inyati Capital Pty Ltd on 18 May 2021.

The value of the facilitation options has been determined using the Black Scholes model with the following inputs:

  • Exercise price of $0.25

  • Volatility of 80%

  • Implied life of 5 years

  • Risk free rate of 0.29%

  • Dividend yield of nil

The value of the shares and options has been capitalised as a direct acquisition cost of the Earaheedy Project. The acquisition was completed subsequent to year end. Refer to note 27.

Accounting policy for share-based payments

Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees.

Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange for the rendering of services. Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash for the exchange of services, where the amount of cash is determined by reference to the share price.

42

BPM Minerals Limited Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2021

==> picture [68 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

Note 23. Share-based payments (continued)

The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do not determine whether the Group receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions.

The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods.

The cost of cash-settled transactions is initially, and at each reporting date until vested, determined by applying either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into consideration the terms and conditions on which the award was granted. The cumulative charge to profit or loss until settlement of the liability is calculated as follows:

  • during the vesting period, the liability at each reporting date is the fair value of the award at that date multiplied by the expired portion of the vesting period.

  • from the end of the vesting period until settlement of the award, the liability is the full fair value of the liability at the reporting date.

All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss. The ultimate cost of cash-settled transactions is the cash paid to settle the liability.

Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore any awards subject to market conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are satisfied.

If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.

If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the Group or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the Group or employee and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited.

If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award is treated as if they were a modification.

For equity-settled share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees, the Group measures the goods or services received directly, at the fair value of the goods or services received, unless that fair value cannot be estimated reliably. Where the fair value cannot be estimated reliably, the Group measures the fair value indirectly, by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the members of BPM Minerals Limited

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of BPM Minerals 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, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors’ declaration.

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

  • a) 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 then ended; and

  • b) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001

Basis for opinion

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

We 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.

We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

==> picture [433 x 82] intentionally omitted <==

47

Key Audit Matter

==> picture [165 x 49] intentionally omitted <==

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Carrying Value of Deferred Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure Refer to Note 12

In accordance with AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources , the Group capitalises acquisition costs of rights to explore as well as subsequent exploration and evaluation expenditure and applies the cost model after recognition.

Our audit focussed on the Group’s assessment of the carrying amount of the deferred exploration and evaluation expenditure, because this is a significant asset of the Group.

We planned our work to address the audit risk that the capitalised expenditure might no longer meet the recognition criteria of the standard.

Our procedures included but were not limited to the following:

  • We obtained an understanding of the key processes associated with management’s review of the carrying values of deferred exploration and evaluation expenditure;

  • We considered the Directors’ assessment of potential indicators of impairment;

  • We obtained evidence that the Group has current rights to tenure of its areas of interest;

  • We enquired with management as to the nature of planned ongoing activities;

  • We substantiated a sample of expenditure items incurred;

  • We enquired with management, reviewed ASX announcements and reviewed minutes of Directors’ meetings to ensure that the Group had not resolved to discontinue exploration and evaluation at any of its areas of interest; and

  • We examined the disclosures made in the financial report.

Information other than the financial report and auditor’s report thereon

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 that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the directors for the financial report

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

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

48

==> picture [165 x 49] intentionally omitted <==

Auditor’s responsibilities 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.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.

  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

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

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

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Recommendation 1.5
A listed entity should:
(a)
have and disclose a diversity policy;
(b)
through its Board or a committee of the Board set measurable
objectives for achieving gender diversity in the composition of
its Board, senior executives and workforce generally; and
(c)
disclose in relation to each reporting period:

diversity objectives ,if considered appropriate, and to continually
monitor both the objectives if any have been set and the
Company’s progress in achieving them.

diversity objectives because:

proposed activities and the Board’s view that the
existing Directors and senior executives have sufficient
skill and experience to carry out the Company’s plans;

senior executives, the Board will consider the
application of the measurable diversity objectives and
determined whether, given the small size of the
Company

Company’s policy of appointing the best person for the
job; and

whole organisation (including how the entity has

creation of a Nomination Committee (if it is considered it will
benefit the Company), with at least three members, a majority of
whom are independent Directors, and which must be chaired by
an independent Director.
(b)
The Company does not have a Nomination Committee as the
Board considers that the Company will not currently benefit from
its establishment. In accordance with the Company’s Board
Charter, the Board carries out the duties that would ordinarily be

Committee Charter, including the following processes to address
succession issues and to ensure the Board has the appropriate

  • YES

A listed entity should disclose:

  • (a) the names of the Directors considered by the Board to be independent Directors of the type described in Box 2.3 of the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (4th Edition), but the Board is of the opinion that it does not compromise the independence of the Director, the nature of the interest, position or relationship in question and an explanation of why the Board is of that opinion; and

EXPLANATION

The Board Charter requires the disclosure of each Board member’s qualifications and expertise. Full details as to each Director and senior executive’s relevant skills and experience will be available in the Company’s Annual Report. This information is currently available in the Company’s Initial Public Offering Prospectus.

  • The Company’s Board Charter requires that, where practical, the majority of the Board should be independent.

The Board currently comprises of three (3) Directors, of whom one (1) is considered to be independent. As such, independent Directors currently do not comprise the majority of the Board.

The Board does not currently consider an independent majority of the Board to be appropriate given:

  • (a) the speculative nature of the Company’s business, and its limited scale of activities, means the Company only needs, and can only commercially sustain, a small Board of three (3) Directors and no senior executives;

  • (b) the Company considers it necessary, given its speculative and small scale activities, to attract and retain suitable Directors by offering Directors an interest in the Company; and
