CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

==> picture [32 x 33] intentionally omitted <==

Dear Shareholders

It is my pleasure to present you the annual report for Castile Resources Limited for the year ending 30 June 2021.

My involvement with the groups assets span more than 11 years and I think they are outstanding and capable of spawning the next series of new mines for the Northern Territory. It was great to see the re-start of exploration and development activities at Rover 1 and the preparations for other exploration in the tenure commence.

True to form the exploration at Rover 1 has continued to deliver outstanding polymetallic intrcepts, especially the copper and gold components which are the main economic minerals.

Baseline studies also advanced and await the end ofhe current field seasons results to be incorporated into a revised resource model and mining plan. Metallurgical studies have now identified five economic mineral streams with Cobalt, Bismuth and ground magnetite as a heavy media density modifying industrial showing great promise.

Our teams on the ground in Tennant Creek and in our head office have done a magnificent job this year to keep things rolling to plan amongst the Covid related issues.

I look forward to the ensuing year with great anticipation that we can move Rover 1 from exploration to development and our continued exploration plans can continue to unlock the huge potential we hold in the Rover Field.

Subsequent to year end we are back on the ground in late August and drilling in September, 2021.

I thank our shareholders for their support during the year. I also express our gratitude to many service providers that support our operations and make Castile a truly great Company. The transition process from an explorer to a developer and producer can sometimes be a thankless task, but your Company is well onto this path and the fruits could be exponential. We are determined to reward your loyalty and support.

Yours Sincerely

MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REPORT

==> picture [32 x 33] intentionally omitted <==

On behalf of the Directors and Staff of Castile Resources Limited we would like to thank our shareholders for their ongoing support in the second year of the Company’s operations. The 2020 drilling season completed 3,873m from August through to December 2020 and the ongoing 2021 field season commenced in March 2021 has provided Castile with the opportunity to drill for a full season starting in early April 2021 on our wholly owned Rover Mineral Field assets near Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory.

A comprehensive resource definition program is underway at our flagship asset, the Rover-1 Prospect, which is an outstanding IOCG (iron oxide copper gold) deposit reminiscent of the rich, historical high grade mines of the surrounding Tennant Creek area. This season has also provided the opportunity to begin the exploration and evaluation of the regional targets contained within our portfolio. All of these targets are within the wider Rover Mineral Field and fit into the Company’s “hub and spoke” strategy which will target additional mineral inventory within a truckable distance from our initial planned development at Rover 1.

The Company has had the opportunity to add a significant amount of data to our ongoing development studies on the Rover 1 Prospect in addition to the enormous amount of work completed by the previous owners including over 85,000m of drilling and other metallurgical and baseline studies. Rover 1 has a significant endowment of copper, gold and associated metals that aggregate into a high value project. Metallurgy studies have displayed the potential addition of by-products such as cobalt, bismuth and high grade magnetite which can be used as a Density Modifying Industrial Mineral. The addition of these by-products means additional revenue streams can be added to the modelling for the mining studies.

The Castile Resources COVID-19 Business Management Plan remains a priority to protect our employees and the wider community from the health risks of the pandemic. Castile is educating and supporting our employees where requested on decisions regarding their choices on the vaccinations made available by the Health Authorities of the Federal and State Government.

The Central Land Council and the Northern Territory (NT) Government continue to be extremely supportive of our activities and continue to encourage investment in the state in accordance with their Territory Economic Reconstruction Commission Report. The Commission has advised the NT Government to "roll out the red carpet" for private investment to drive economic growth. The mining industry is considered to be a major component of the Federal and NT Government plan to lead the Northern Territory out of the economic ramifications of the pandemic.

We maintain our aim to drive value for Castile shareholders with a “People First” approach. If we take care of our people and we have the very best people strategy, making decisions and executing the operations we will have a far greater chance of successfully developing our assets.

I would like to thank our employees and our Board of Directors for their tremendous ongoing support during these challenging times and I look forward to us delivering on the abundant potential within the Castile Resources portfolio.

CORPORATE

During the year the Company’s corporate activities comprised of executing a less than marketable parcel share sale facility and appointing a new Company Secretary.

A marketable parcel of shares is defined in the ASX Listing Rules as a parcel of shares that has a market value of not less than $500. Based on the closing price on ASX of Castile shares of $0.27 on the Facility’s record date of 28 August 2020, a less than a marketable parcel of Castile shares was 1,851 Castile shares or fewer. As at the record date, there were 4,191 holdings of Castile shares of less than a marketable parcel (from a total of 6,123 holdings), totalling 2,044,884 Castile shares and constituting approximately 1.02% of the 199,710,121 total Castile shares on issue.

The Facility gave shareholders the option to retain their shares and as a result the final number of Castile shares sold under the Facility was 1,536,812 Castile shares for total proceeds of $599,356.68. The number of Castile shareholders who participated in the share sale facility was 3,387. The share sale facility reduced the number of Castile shareholders to approximately 2,800 and will reduce the administrative costs of managing Castile’s share register.

On 11 December 2020 Castile announced that Mr Sebastian Andre had assumed the role of Castile Resources Company Secretary replacing Mr Ben Secrett.

Mr Andre has previously acted as an adviser at the ASX and holds qualifications in accounting, finance and corporate governance and is a member of the Governance Institute of Australia.

OPERATIONAL REVIEW

ROVER PROJECT

Castile was extremely pleased to commence its first drilling program at Rover 1 in August 2020 after some initial access delays in relation the Covid Pandemic. Our Tennant Creek staff and contractors had completed road works and refurbished the camp for the drilling crews. The drilling rig was mobilised to site and drilling began on 22[nd] August 2020. Assays from Hole 20CRD001 (received in early October 2020) delivered the best so-far intercept from Rover 1:

30.4m (TW 27.8m) @ 35.6g/t Au, 1.46% Cu, 0.18% Bi, 0.09% Co and 3.31g/t from 506.5m*.

A follow up holes into the main IOCG body continued to display wide sections of high grade mineralisation. The Company also used the opportunity to drill two wildcat proximal targets which were unsuccessful in achieveing economic grade moneralisation before the wet-season closed access in early December 2020.

The 2021 field season opened in early April with further resource definition drilling at Rover 1. These holes had the objective to provide additional data for the resource/reserve update to be included the Pre-Feasibility Study due later in the year. The drilling results through to June 30 2021 have been extremely pleasing with multiple intersections of broad, high grade gold and copper mineralisation being reported to the ASX. These assays results continue to open and extend areas of known mineralisation at Rover 1 and Castile anticipates these will enhance our mining studies as we continue to accumulate data on the deposit.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT continued

==> picture [32 x 33] intentionally omitted <==

The various supplementary technical and baseline studies required for the Rover 1 Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) continued during the year. Expert consultants, Mining One were appointed as our Geotechnical Consultants. Metallurgical test work continued under the guidance of METS as they assess the fresh core from the current program. Northern Territory based EcOz continue to progress our environmental studies required to enable our Notice of Intent to Mine application to be lodged with the Northern Territory Government. Our interaction with all levels of Government continues as the Northern Territory establishes portfolio responsibilities after the Territory election in late August which was won by the incumbent Labor Party. The NT Government has commenced its post-COVID stimulus strategy and is keen to support Castile Resources given our importance to the business community in the Tennant Creek township and wider Barkly region.

The Territory Economic Reconstruction Commission provided its final report to the Chief Minister of the Northern Territory on 30 November 2020. The report highlighted the extremely important role of the mining industry in the NT’s economic recovery. In particular, the report encouraged government support for the exploration industry to drive future discoveries and developments in the state. Castile is working with all levels of NT Government and the relevant government departments as we progress the Rover 1 Deposit.

Castile’s regional strategy at Rover is to develop a central processing facility near the advanced Rover 1 deposit and then add further sources of ore for the processing plant through exploration of the nearby surrounding targets within the Castile tenement package. Preliminary maintenance works and road repairs were completed towards the end of June 2021 to allow access for the drill rig to begin drill hole clean outs to prepare for Downhole Electromagnetic (DHEM) surveys at Explorer 108, Explorer 142 and Rover 3.

DHEM is ideally suited for detecting near hole anomalies associated with the conductive massive sulphide mineralisation being targeted at Explorer 108, Explorer 142 and Rover 3. Previous explorers have completed geophysical surveys of this type, however, the latest technology in downhole probes enables an enhanced application and power to the surveys

Other Rover Mineral Field Geology Works

Castile has remained active from a technical perspective, with a focus on the examination of datasets from the newly acquired ex. Adelaide Resources tenure.

Castile engaged expert industry geophysical consultants, Newexco, to undertake a review of the newly aggregated geophysical datasets available over the expanded Rover field. This work included the merging and re-gridding of magnetic and gravity datasets with select 3D inversion models to aid targeting.

Castile Resources Limited

DIRECTORS’ REPORT continued

==> picture [32 x 33] intentionally omitted <==

A review of historic DHEM surveys completed at Explorer 108 and Explorer 142 in 2008 and 2009 has revealed several proximal anomalies that remain untested by drilling. The anomalies are long wavelength, late-time features as would be expected from large, distal massive sulphide bodies. Castile is encouraged by these results which increase the scope for exploration activities at these two deposits. The quality of data is not yet sufficient to derive a vector to source, but in nonetheless highly encouraging. Castile intends to revisit these holes and re-survey with modern instruments and refined loop designs as part of its work program during the year.

WARUMPI PROJECT

The Company’s tenement package also includes the Warumpi Project which is a highly prospective grass-roots exploration project located approximately 300 km west of Alice Springs and approximately 500 km southwest of the Rover Project. Activities at Warumpi were limited for the year due to Narive Title access constraints.

Subsequent to June 30 2021 drilling in the Rover 1 Resource Definition drilling program has continued with work now completed on the Jupiter section of the deposit. As of September 2021 the drilling rig had begun work on the Jupiter Deeps area of the deposit with Explorer 108, Explorer 142 and Rover 3 ready for DHEM surveys.

==> picture [432 x 219] intentionally omitted <==

HEALTH AND SAFETY AND COVID-19 IMPACTS

Castile’s COVID-19 Business Management Plan was submitted and fully approved by the NT Government. The Company returned to on-ground activities, including drilling, in August 2020 under the regulations and procedures of the COVID-19 Business Management Plan and no COVID19 cases were reported by employees or contractors during activities associated with Castile’s operations. The document and protocols have been upgraded when appropriate given the evolving nature of the pandemic through 2021.

Castile Resources Limited

DIRECTORS’ REPORT continued

==> picture [32 x 33] intentionally omitted <==

As some of our employees are WA based, the border controls at times complicated our ability to freely operate and manage our activity in the Northern Territory as we would have expected. However, our staff and contractors have found ways to make this work and Castile has actively sought ways to improve safety, transport times and efficiencies for our employees that fly in and out from site.

Subsequent the June 30 2021 year, all permanent Castile staff in the Northern Territory and in the Perth office are now fully vaccinated. Castile will continue to encourage incoming employees and contractors to vaccinate to keep colleagues and the wider community as safe as possible, particularly while travelling.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS

The COVID-19 pandemic delayed drilling during the 2020 calendar year field season. Since August 2020 drilling activities have resumed as normal. Other than the developments reported here and elsewhere in this report there were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Company during the financial year ended 30 June 2021.

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS

There are no likely developments of which the Directors are aware other than that disclosed in this report which could be expected to significantly affect the results of the Company’s operations in subsequent financial periods not otherwise disclosed in the ‘Principal activities’ and ‘Review of operations’ or the ‘Significant events after the balance date’ sections of the Directors’ report.

The Directors’ note that subsequent to the end of the financial year the Company has commenced on-ground exploration activities, including commencing the Rover 1 Gold Project drilling program.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

The Company and its Board of Directors are committed to achieving and demonstrating high standards of corporate governance. The Company has adopted (where suitable for its circumstances) the Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (Fourth Edition) published by the ASX Corporate Governance Council. The Company has reviewed its corporate governance practices against the Fourth Edition for the financial year ended 30 June 2021.

The Company’s 2021 Corporate Governance Statement reflects its corporate governance practices for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 and was approved by the Board. The Company’s 2021 Corporate Governance Statement and Corporate Governance Plan are available on its website at www.castile.com.au.

ECONOMIC, ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY RISKS

The Company is an explorer and developer of polyetallic metals and is subject to risks that the commodity price fluctuations could render its exploration activities ineffective. Fortunately commodity prices have risen during the year and the commodities explored for are in strong demnd in international markets. The Company remains in a strong financial position to achieve its exploration and development objectives.

The December 2019 prospectus disclosed the risks that may have a material impact on its financial performance and the market price for its shares. This disclosure included possible material exposure to a decline in economic conditions and the general economic outlook. The Company recognises that the COVID-19 pandemic has and may continue to have a negative impact on the Australian and global economies, and has and may continue to have a negative impact on the Company’s ability to conduct operations given government imposed travel restrictions.

The Company’s exposure to environmental risk relates to its operation of exploration and future mining in the area of its major prospects and ensuring its activities have no material impact on the environment where they occur. In 2012, an Environmental Study was conducted over the Rover 1 area which concluded that no rare, endangered tor vulnerable species were found, however there were several threatened species known to exist in the greater region. The Company is subject to significant environmental monitoring requirements in respect of its exploration activities and the Directors confirm they are unaware of any breaches of these.

NON-AUDIT SERVICES

Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the financial year by the auditor are outlined in Note 5 to the financial statements. The Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the financial year, 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.

  • 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 advocates for the Company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021

==> picture [31 x 33] intentionally omitted <==

1. Corporate information

This annual report covers Castile Resources Limited (the “Company”), a company incorporated in Australia for the year ended 30 June 2021. The presentation currency of the Company is Australian Dollars (“$”). A description of the Company’s operations is included in the review and results of operations in the Directors’ Report. The Directors’ Report is not part of the financial statements. The Company is a for-profit entity and limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are traded under the ASX code “CST”. The financial statements were authorised for issue on 28 September 2021 by the Directors. The Directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements. The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below.

2. Accounting policies

a. Basis of preparation

The general purpose financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 , Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards results in full compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The financial report has also been prepared on a historical cost base. It is recommended that the annual financial report be considered together with any public announcements made by the Company up to the issue date of this report, which the Company has made in accordance with its continuous disclosure obligations arising under the Corporations Act 2001. The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs, modified where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities.

b. 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 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 noncurrent. A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in 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.

c. Comparatives

When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.

Castile Resources Limited

==> picture [31 x 33] intentionally omitted <==

2. Accounting policies (continued)

d. Significant management judgement in applying accounting policies and estimate uncertainty When preparing the financial statements, management undertakes a number of judgements, estimates and assumptions about recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management, and will seldom equal the estimated results. Information about significant judgements, estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expense is provided below.

i. Exploration and evaluation expenditure

Exploration and evaluation costs have been capitalised and are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves. Key judgements are applied in considering the costs to be capitalised which includes determining expenditures directly related to these activities and allocating overheads between those that are expensed and capitalised.

ii. Leases – incremental borrowing rate

Where the interest rate implicit in a lease cannot be readily determined, an incremental borrowing rate is estimated to discount future lease payments to measure the present value of the lease liability at the lease commencement date. Such a rate is based on what the Company estimates it would have to pay a third party to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset, with similar terms, security and economic environment.

iii. Share based payment transactions

The Company 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 of the options issued are determined by using the Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled 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.

==> picture [31 x 33] intentionally omitted <==

e. Accounting Standards that are mandatorily effective for the current reporting year

The Company has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for an accounting period that begins on or after 1 July 2020. New and revised Standards and amendments thereof and Interpretations effective for the current year that are relevant to the Company include:

  • AASB 2018-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Definition of a Business

  • AASB 2018-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Definition of Material

  • AASB 2019-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – References to the Conceptual Framework

  • AASB 2019-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Interest Rate Benchmark Reform

  • AASB 2019-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosure of the Effect of New FRS Standards Not Yet Issued in Australia.

The Directors have determined that there is no material impact of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Company and, therefore, no material change is necessary to Company accounting policies.

f. Standards and Interpretations on issue not yet adopted

At the date of authorisation of the financial statements, the Company has not applied the new and revised Australian Accounting Standards, Interpretations and amendments that have been issued but are not yet effective. Based on a preliminary review of the standards and amendments, the Directors do not anticipate a material change to the Company’s accounting policies, however further analysis will be performed when the relevant standards are effective.

Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

Accounting policy:

Income taxes

Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from, or paid to, the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date in the countries where the Company operates and generates taxable income. Current income tax relating to items recognised directly in other comprehensive income or equity is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity and not in profit or loss.

4. Income tax benefit/(expense) (continued)

Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations where applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

Deferred tax is provided for using the full liability balance sheet approach. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount of deferred tax assets and liabilities are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date in the countries where the Company operates and generates taxable profits.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except to the extent that the deferred tax liability arises from:

  • the initial recognition of goodwill;

  • the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit (or tax loss); and

  • taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled by the Company and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, including carryforward tax losses and tax credits, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised except when:

  • the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit (or tax loss); and

  • the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures and it is not probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that they satisfy the requirements for recognition. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on the same taxable entity. Income taxes relating to transactions recognised outside profit and loss (for example, directly in other comprehensive income or directly in equity) are also recognised outside profit and loss.

4. Income tax benefit/(expense) (continued)

Other taxes

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:

  • when the GST incurred on purchase of goods or services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and

  • receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the Statement of Financial Position. Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of amounts of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.

6. Earnings per share (continued)

Accounting policy:

Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element. Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent adjusted for:

  • cost of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends;

  • the after-tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised; and

  • other non-discriminatory changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares; adjusted for any bonus element.

8. Trade and other receivables (continued)

Accounting policy:

Receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any impairment losses. This category generally applies to trade and other receivables. Trade and other receivables are generally due for settlement within no more than 30 days from the date of recognition. Due to their current nature, the carrying amount of trade and other receivables approximates fair value. The carrying amount of trade and other receivables is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the loss is recognised in the profit or loss.

10. Plant and equipment (continued)

Accounting policy:

Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset, or where appropriate, over the estimated life of the mine. Major depreciation periods are:

  • Mine specific plant and equipment is depreciated using – the shorter of life of mine and useful life. Useful life ranges from 2 to 25 years.

  • Buildings – the shorter of life of mine and useful life. Useful life ranges from 5 to 40 years.

  • Office plant and equipment is depreciated at 20% per annum for computers, office machines and other office equipment and furniture.

Impairment

The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. If any such indication exists and where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the assets or cash-generating units are written down to their recoverable amount.

Derecognition

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the profit and loss in the year the item is derecognised.

11. Right of use assets (continued)

Accounting policy:

A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the Company expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021

==> picture [31 x 33] intentionally omitted <==

12. Exploration and evaluation assets (continued)

Accounting policy:

Expenditure on acquisition, exploration and evaluation relating to an area of interest is carried forward at cost where rights to tenure of the area of interest are current and:

  • it is expected that expenditure will be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest or alternatively by its sale; and/or

  • exploration and evaluation activities are continuing in an area of interest but at reporting date have not yet reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves.

A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest. Where uncertainty exists as to the future viability of certain areas, the value of the area of interest is written off to the profit and loss or provided against.

Impairment

The carrying value of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is assessed for impairment on a regular basis or whenever impairment indicators are present. When information becomes available suggesting that the recovery of expenditure which had previously been capitalised is unlikely or that the Company no longer holds tenure, the relevant capitalised amount is written off to the profit or loss in the period when the new information becomes available.

5 Trade payables are non-interest bearing and are normally settled on 30 day terms. All amounts are short-term. The net carrying value of trade payables is considered a reasonable approximation of fair value.

Accounting policy:

Provision is made for the Company’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the end of the reporting period. Employee benefits that are expected to be wholly settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Employee benefits expected to be settled more than one year after the end of the reporting period have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits.

6 The loan is unsecured, non-interest bearing and has no terms for repayment. On de-merger, as at 3 December 2019 Westgold agreed to forgive the balance of the loan on that date of $250,114.

7 During the prior period the Company was a wholly owned subsidiary of Westgold Resources Ltd (“Westgold”) until 3 December 2019. On that date the Company was spun-out of Westgold by way of an in-specie distribution of the Company’s shares to Westgold shareholders on the basis of 1 share for every 4 Westgold shares held by a Westgold shareholder on the in-specie record date. Accordingly the Company’s 2 shares were split into 99,865,816 shares on 3 December 2019. On 3 December 2019 the Company issued a prospectus dated 3 December 2019 to raise up to $19,968,861 before costs by way of a non-renounceable pro-rata entitlement offer of 1 new share for every 1 share held on the entitlement offer record date, and lodged an application for admission to the official list of ASX on 4 December 2019. The Company was admitted to the official list on 12 February 2020.

19. Operating segments

The Company has determined operating segments based on the information provided to the Board of Directors. The Company operates predominantly in one business segment being the exploration for minerals in one geographic segment, being Australia.

Accounting policy:

An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity), whose operating results are regularly reviewed by management to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance and for which discrete financial information is available. This includes start-up operations which are yet to earn revenues. Management will also consider other factors in determining operating segments such as the existence of a line manager and the level of segment information presented to the board of directors. Operating segments have been identified based on the information provided by management to the Board of Directors. The Company aggregates two or more operating segments when they have similar economic characteristics. Operating segments that meet the quantitative criteria as prescribed by AASB 8 are reported separately.

However, an operating segment that does not meet the quantitative criteria is still reported separately where information about the segment would be useful to users of the financial statements. Information about other business activities and operating segments that are below the quantitative criteria are combined and disclosed in a separate category for “all other segments”.

20. Events after the end of the reporting year

There are no matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the year which will significantly affect, or may significantly affect, the state of affairs or operations of the reporting entity in future financial years other than the operational aspects noted in the Directors’ Report.

22. Financial risk management

The Company’s principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables, cash and cash equivalents, deposits and borrowings. The Company manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Company will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. The Company’s overall strategy remains unchanged from 2019. The capital structure of the Company consists of cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to equity holders of the parent, comprising issued capital, reserves and retained earnings. None of the Company’s entities are subject to externally imposed capital requirements. Operating cash flows are used to maintain and expand operations, as well as to make routine expenditures such as tax, dividends and general administrative outgoings. Gearing levels are reviewed by the Board on a regular basis in line with its target gearing ratio, the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital.

Risk exposures and responses

The Company manages its exposure to key financial risks in accordance with the Company’s financial risk management policy. The objective of the policy is to support the delivery of the Company’s financial targets while protecting future financial security. The main risks arising from the Company’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, credit risk, equity price risk and liquidity risk. The Company uses different methods to measure and manage different types of risks to which it is exposed. These include monitoring levels of exposure to interest rate, foreign exchange risk and assessments of market forecasts for interest rate, foreign exchange and commodity prices. Ageing analysis and monitoring of receivables are undertaken to manage credit risk, liquidity risk is monitored through the development of future rolling cash flow forecasts. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks as summarised below. Primary responsibility for identification and control of financial risks rests with the Board. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of the risks identified below, including for interest rate risk, credit allowances and cash flow forecast projections.

Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, in respect of each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed below.

a. Interest rate risk

The Company’s exposure to risks of changes in market interest rates relate to the Company’s interest-bearing liabilities and cash balances. Therefore, the Company does not have any variable interest rate risk on its debt. The Company constantly analyses its interest rate exposure. Within this analysis, consideration is given to potential renewals of existing positions, alternative financing positions and the mix of fixed and variable interest rates. There is no significant exposure to changes in market interest rates at the reporting date.

b. Credit risk

Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Company, which comprises cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and other financial assets held as security and loans. Cash and cash equivalents are held with National Australia Bank, which is an Australian Bank with an AA- credit rating (Standard & Poor’s). The Company’s exposure to credit risk arises from potential default of the counter party, with the maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of the financial assets (as outlined in each applicable note). The Company does not hold any credit derivatives to offset its credit exposure. The Company trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties and as such collateral is not requested nor is it the Company’s policy to securitise its trade and other receivables. Receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Company does not have a significant exposure to bad debts. Significant concentrations of credit risk are in relation to cash and cash equivalents with Australian banks.

c. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk arises from the financial liabilities of the Company and the subsequent ability to meet the obligations to repay the financial liabilities as and when they fall due. The table below reflects all contractually fixed payables for settlement, repayment and interest resulting from recognised financial liabilities as of 30 June 2021.

Cash flows for financial liabilities without fixed amount or timing are based on the conditions existing as 30 June 2021 and 30 June 2020. The remaining contractual maturities of the Company’s financial liabilities are:

Maturity analysis of financial assets and liabilities based on management’s expectation

The risk implied from the values shown in the table below reflects a balanced view of cash inflows and outflows. Trade payables and other financial liabilities mainly originate from the financing of assets used in our ongoing operations such as property, plant, equipment and investments of working capital e.g. inventories and trade receivables. To monitor existing financial assets and liabilities, as well as to enable effective controlling of future risks, management monitors its Company’s expected settlement of financial assets and liabilities on an ongoing basis.

Accounting policy:

Financial instruments - initial recognition and subsequent measurement

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets are classified at initial recognition, and subsequently measured at amortised cost, or fair value through profit or loss or fair value through OCI. The classification of financial assets at initial recognition that are debt instruments depends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics and the Company’s business model for managing them. With the exception of trade receivables, the Company initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs. In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost, it needs to give rise to cash flows that are ‘solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI)’ on the principal amount outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level. Trade receivable that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Company has applied the practical expedient for contracts that have a maturity of one year or less, are measured at the transaction price determined under AASB 15. The Company’s business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both.

22. Financial risk management (continued)

Subsequent measurement

For purposes of subsequent measurement, the Company’s financial assets are classified in these categories:

  • Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments)

  • Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments)

The Company’s financial assets at amortised cost include cash, short-term deposits, and trade and other receivables. The Company measures financial assets at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:

  • The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, and

 The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest rate (EIR) method and are subject to impairment. Interest received is recognised as part of other income in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading, financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss, or financial assets mandatorily required to be measured at fair value, i.e., where they fail the SPPI test. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. Financial assets with cash flows that do not pass the SPPI test are required to be classified, and measured at fair value through profit or loss, irrespective of the business model. Notwithstanding the criteria for debt instruments to be classified at amortised cost or at fair value through OCI, as described above, debt instruments may be designated at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition if doing so eliminates, or significantly reduces, an accounting mismatch. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with net changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.

Impairment of financial assets

The Company recognises an allowance for ECLs for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original EIR. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms. ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12months (a 12-month ECL).

Castile Resources Limited

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021

==> picture [31 x 33] intentionally omitted <==

22. Financial risk management (continued)

For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL). For trade receivables, the Company applies the simplified approach in calculating ECLs, as permitted by AASB 9. Therefore, the Company does not track changes in credit risk, but instead, recognises a loss allowance based on the financial asset’s lifetime ECL at each reporting date.

For any other financial assets carried at amortised cost (which are due in more than 12 months), the ECL is based on the 12-month ECL. The 12-month ECL is the proportion of lifetime ECLs that results from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date. However, when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since origination, the allowance will be based on the lifetime ECL. When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECLs, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Company’s historical experience and informed credit assessment including forward-looking information. The Company considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 90 days past due.

However, in certain cases, the Company may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Company is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Company. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows and usually occurs when past due for more than one year and not subject to enforcement activity. At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost are creditimpaired. A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.

Financial Liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, and payables as appropriate. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of trade and other payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

Subsequent measurement

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Castile Resources Limited

==> picture [31 x 33] intentionally omitted <==

22. Financial risk management (continued)

After initial recognition, trade and other payables are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income when the liabilities are derecognised, as well as through the EIR amortisation process. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of comprehensive income.

Exploration and Evaluation Assets (Refer to Note 12) The Company has capitalised Our procedures included, amongst others: exploration and evaluation assets of • $22,315,452 as at 30 June 2021. Exploration and evaluation assets is a key audit matter due to:

  • Assessing management’s determination of its areas of interest for consistency with the definition in AASB 6. This involved analysing the tenements in which the Company holds an interest and the exploration programs planned for those tenements.

  • The significance of the balance to the Company’s financial position.

Other Information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company’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 Note 2(a), the directors also state in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements , that the financial report complies with International Financial Reporting Standards.

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Company’s ability 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 Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

==> picture [595 x 63] intentionally omitted <==

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. 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 the 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 Company’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 Company’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 Company 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.

  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Company audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

==> picture [595 x 63] intentionally omitted <==

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.

Report on the Remuneration Report

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2021. The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the remuneration report in accordance with s 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.

Auditor’s Opinion

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of the Company, for the year ended 30 June 2021, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 .

in the original market announcements or this presentation, and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the mineral resource estimates continue to apply and havenot materially changed.

This annual mineral resources statement is based on, and fairly represents, information and supporting documentation prepared and compiled by Mr Jake Russell BSc (Hons) MAIG who has sufficient experience which is relevant to the styles of mineralisation, thetypes of deposit under consideration and to the activities which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Editions of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC 2012)”. Mr Russell consents to the inclusion in this report of the matters based on this information in the form and context in which it appears.Mr Russell is a Director of Castile Resources Limited and is eligible to and may participate in any short-term and longterm incentive plans of the Company as disclosed in its annual reports and disclosure documents. The annual review statement is approved by Mr Russell.

Governance Arrangements

The Company stores all primary geological data in a database management system located on a secure SQL server. As new data is acquired it passes through a validation system designed to pick up any significant errors before the information is loaded into the master database.

Geological interpretation of any given deposit is carried out using a systematic approach to ensure that the resultant estimated mineral resource figure is both sufficiently constrained, and representative of the expected sub-surface conditions. In all aspects of resource estimation the factual and interpreted geology are used to guide the development of the interpretation. Geological matrixes are established to assist with interpretation and construction of the estimation domains.

All modelling and estimation work undertaken by the Company is carried out in three dimensions using appropriate software. After validating the drillhole data to be used in the estimation, interpretation of the orebody is undertaken in sectional and / or plan view to create the outline strings which form the basis of the three-dimensional orebody wireframe. Wireframing is then carried out using a combination of automated stitching algorithms and manual triangulation to create an accurate three-dimensional representation of the sub-surface mineralised body.

Drillhole intersections within the mineralised body are defined, these intersections are then used to flag the appropriate sections of the drillhole database tables for compositing purposes. Drillholes are subsequently composited to allow for grade estimation.

Once the sample data has been composited, a statistical analysis is undertaken to assist with determining estimation search parameters, top-cuts etc. Variographic analysis of individual domains is undertaken to assist with determining appropriate search parameters, which are then incorporated with observed geological and geometrical features to determine the most appropriate search parameters.

An empty block model is then created for the area of interest. This model contains attributes set at background values for the various elements of interest as well as density, and various estimation parameters that are subsequently used to assist in resource categorisation. The block sizes used in the model will vary depending on orebody geometry, minimum mining units, estimation parameters and levels of informing data available.

Grade estimation is then undertaken, using estimation techniques appropriate to the domain being estimated. Both by-product and deleterious elements are estimated at the time of primary grade estimation if required. Estimation results are validated against primary input data, previous estimates and mining output (if available).

A resource is then depleted for mining voids (if required), and subsequently classified in line with JORC guidelines utilising a combination of estimation derived parameters and geological / mining knowledge. This approach considers all relevant factors and reflects the Competent Person’s view of the deposit.

The cut off grades used for the reporting of the mineral resource estimates have been selected based on the style of mineralisation, depth from surface of the mineralisation and the most probable extraction technique.

Resource estimates are peer reviewed by the corporate technical team prior to reporting, and where appropriate external consultants are engaged to provide additional technical review.

All currently reported mineral resources estimates are considered robust, and representative on both a global and local scale. No ore reserves are currently reported by the Company.
