REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Projects

Halls Creek Copper Project (CAZ 100%)

On 17 December 2020, the Company finalised the purchase of the outstanding 80% equity in the Halls Creek project from 3D Resources Limited (“ 3D Resources ”, ASX:DDD) bringing Cazaly equity to 100% in the project (transaction details included in CAZ ASX announcement dated 12 November, 2020).

The project is a copper-zinc project in the East Kimberley region located near the historic township of Halls Creek and hosts the Mt Angelo North volcanogenic massive sulphide (“VMS”) deposit where previous results from work conducted by Cazaly prior to the joint venture included ; 64m @ 2.72% Cu (1.13% Zn), 62m @ 2.41% Cu (2.75% Zn), 37m @ 2.63% Cu (6.05% Zn), 16m @ 5.91% Cu, 18m @ 2.53% Cu (refer to CAZ ASX announcements dated 11 December 2012 & 20 June 2013 and Table 1).

Cazaly has begun a complete review of all previous exploration on the project where there remains very good upside potential with existing downhole EM conductors sitting beneath the known mineralisation yet to have been drill tested. Additionally, previous geological mapping by the Company defined the untested northern extensions of the deposit including mapping of the important Banded Iron Formation capping unit.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020 (CONTINUED)

Ashburton Basin (CAZ 100%)

In September 2020, the Company secured the rights to a major land position covering more than 2,600 square kilometres in the Ashburton Basin in the Pilbara region of Western Australia (figure 1). The project covers major regional structures thought to be highly prospective for major gold mineralisation and occurs in the region hosting Northern Star’s (ASX:NST) Paulsen’s gold deposit and Kalamazoo’s (ASX:KZR) recently acquired Mount Olympus gold deposit.

The project is located within the Ashburton Basin which forms the northern part of the Capricorn Orogen, a ~1000km long, 500km wide region of variably deformed metamorphosed igneous and sedimentary rocks located between the Yilgarn and Pilbara cratons. A governmental collaborative project conducted a deep seismic survey transecting over ~450km covering the region aimed at identify the crustal architecture of the region. The survey identified the Baring Downs Fault, which lies centrally within the Ashburton Basin, as a major deeply seated, crustal scale structure with the potential to host significant mineralisation. To date, there has been very little exploration along the extent of the Baring Downs fault over which the Company’s applications cover approximately 80km strike.

The basin is known to host several smaller primary and numerous alluvial gold deposits (Star of the West, Dead Finish, Big Sarah, Hearns Find, Glen Florrie, Soldiers Secret) and in the late 1890’s to 1910 mining occurred in several centres with the Dead Finish diggings alone having over 8,000 men working the field, however true gold production was largely unreported. Some detailed work has occurred along the northern and southern margins of the basin, where the Paulsens and Mount Olympus gold mines lie, but no systematic work has focussed along the Baring Downs structure. Diamond exploration in the 1990’s reported several kimberlite and lamproite intrusions in the area. The presence of kimberlites and lamproites, along with the widespread gold mineralisation, is further evidence that the Baring Downs fault is a major, deep seated mantle tapping structure requiring modern exploration.

In October 2020, the Company conducted field reconnaissance work programs on site and acquired important project data sets to prepare for the 2021 field season. Early work has included reprocessing of available airborne geophysics data to highlight prospective lithological units and structural elements for targeting purposes. Deep seismic survey data was reprocessed to help define the structural architecture within the 2D profile that was completed by the GSWA in 2010 and transects the project. All of this work will culminate in prioritisation and planning for field programs in 2021 and includes a comprehensive open file data search which has already highlighted a number of gold targets for follow up.

Part of the preliminary work during the quarter included field reconnaissance programs. Low-impact field reconnaissance mapping and soil sampling of priority targets commenced in late 2020 across 8 areas. These were selected by the exploration team as potentially favourable structural/lithological settings for gold mineralisation. The work comprised first pass regolith mapping, prospecting and soil sampling. Samples were dispatched to Perth laboratories for analysis by standard acid digests as well as two additional ultra low-level analytical methods. The results have been recently received and are being interpreted, along with collected geological information, which will assist in determining the most effective sampling procedures and analytical methods for the upcoming programs.

Preliminary results from reprocessing and interpretation of deep seismic data sets has also recently become available. These continue to be interpreted but have already highlighted deep mantle tapping structures that may represent new important controls for mineralising fluids within the Ashburton project area. Final data sets with priority target areas will be available to the company in the current quarter.

The Company will accelerate the compilation of all work to finalise and prioritise targets for followup as soon as possible.

Mount Venn Gold Project (CAZ 20% WML 80%)

The Mt Venn Gold Project covers approximately 400 square kilometres located 125km northeast of Laverton in the Eastern Goldfields Region of Western Australia. In September 2019, Woomera Mining Limited (ASX:WML) ( Woomera ) purchased an 80% interest in the project from Cazaly who retains a 20% interest in the tenements through the establishment of an unincorporated Joint Venture.

The project area lies within the Mount Venn-Dorothy Hills greenstone belt which is the most easterly major NW/SE striking greenstone belt of the Yilgarn Craton. Together these greenstone belts account for 30% of the world’s gold reserves, most of Australia’s nickel production and other base metal and rare earth deposits.

During December 2020, Woomera conducted a programme of aircore drilling and rock chip sampling on the project including a maiden reverse circulation programme at the Chapman’s Reward prospect and aircore drilling programmes at the Lang’s Find prospect and Three Bears prospects.

CAZALY RESOURCES LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES

ABN 23 101 049 334

DIRECTORS’ REPORT HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020 (CONTINUED)

The initial aircore program aimed to outline the potential for large scale mineralised zones analogous to Gold Roads’ Gruyere deposit within the Mt Venn Gold project. Aircore results from the Three Bears and Lang’s Find prospects were received from a total of 86 holes for 2,468m drilled at these two prospects. The aircore program at Lang’s Find was supplemented with rock chip sampling at locations where the aircore rig could not access.

A coherent +100 ppb gold anomaly was defined at the Three Bears prospect, extending the strike length of the gold trend identified in the previous aircore drilling program to a total of 7km and highlighting the large scale potential of this area.

Drilling at Lang’s Find was hampered by difficult access with the main target area not tested however rock chip sampling returned grades of 9.2g/t Au, 7.74 g/t Au and 6.63 g/t Au, confirmed the potential of the prospect to host higher grade mineralisation.

On 12 February 2021, WML announced that that it had received encouraging assay results from its maiden, reconnaissance RC drilling programme over Chapman’s Reward. Chapman’s Reward is located 8kms north of the Three Bears Prospect.

WML completed a programme of seventeen RC drill holes for an aggregate of 1,673 metres. The drilling defined a shallow (30-45°) east dipping quartz monzonite (granite) and mafic schist contact at Chapman’s Reward, with gold mineralisation hosted by stockwork/sheeted quartz veins within the granite.

Excellent potential is seen to identify dip and strike extensions to the mineralisation along with higher grade lodes situated within dilatant zones or embayments at depth. Over 2km of untested strike is available not the south below shallow alluvial cover which will be subject to future exploration drilling within the pipeline of targets currently being generated and prioritized.

Kaoko Kobalt Project (CAZ 95%)

Cazaly has a 95% interest in the Kaoko Copper-Cobalt project located in northern Namibia approximately 800km by road from the capital of Windhoek and approximately 750km from port of Walvis Bay. The Project is situated immediately north of, and abuts, Celsius Resources Limited’s (ASX:CLA) Opuwo Cobalt project resource of 112Mt @ 0.11% Co & 0.41% Cu (CLA ASX: 16 April & 5 November 2018).

Historic work at Kaoko highlighted the potential for base metal and cobalt mineralisation akin to Opuwo within the extensive prospective DOF, host to the Opuwo cobalt mineralisation. Previous geochemistry at Kaoko delineated a 20km by 5km area of subdued magnetics coincident with anomalous Cu-Co-Zn-Mn at the Kamwe prospect. Priority target areas have recently been selected for follow up work in the north east over largely soil covered prospective Ombombo sequence with surface geochemical sampling planned for the forthcoming quarter. Results from wide-spaced reconnaissance lines of sampling highlighted an area of anomalous copper and a single high (>50 x background) gold result. Follow up work is being planned for the current year.

McKenzie Springs (CAZ 30% FIN 70%)

Sammy Resources Pty Ltd (a subsidiary of Cazaly) is in joint venture with Fin Resources Ltd (ASX:FIN) over Exploration Licence 80/4808, the McKenzie Springs Project, located in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. The project lies south along strike from the Savannah nickel mine owned by Panoramic Resources Ltd and is prospective for intrusive - hosted nickel copper mineralisation. FIN has recently earnt its full interest in the Project by spending $500,000 on exploration.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020 (CONTINUED)

On 25 February 2021, FIN announced the results of their maiden drill program. The drillholes were designed to test multiple modelled strong high priority conductors defined from Fixed Loop Electromagnetic (FLEM) geophysical surveys. Following the drilling, downhole transient electromagnetic (DHTEM) surveying was completed on each drillhole. The aim of the DHTEM was to detect and delineate bedrock conductors of interest adjacent to the diamond drillholes. Whilst the drilling did not intersect significant sulphides, broad disseminated zones of sulphides were encountered and several weak to strong in-hole and off-hole anomalies were identified, many of which are likely to be related to sulphide mineralisation. Further geological and geophysical modelling is in process.

Hamersley Project (CAZ 30% PF1 70%)

The Hamersley Iron Ore Project is an unincorporated Joint Venture between the Company and Pathfinder Resources Ltd. (ASX:PF1) formerly Winmar Resources Limited. The project comprises granted Mining Lease (ML47/1450) located in the heart of the world-renowned Pilbara iron ore district. The Project currently has a total Mineral Resource estimate of 343.2 Mt at 54.5% Fe (see below)(as per PF1 ASX announcement dated 23 February 2022) .

Table 2: JORC Code 2012 Mineral Resource Estimate for the Hamersley Iron Ore Project

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

1 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Corporate information

The interim financial report of Cazaly Resources Limited (‘Cazaly’ or the ‘Company’) for the half year ended 31 December 2020 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 12 March 2021.

Cazaly is a company limited by shares incorporated and domiciled in Australia whose shares (CAZ) are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. The principal activity of Cazaly Resources Limited is the exploration and development of mineral resources.

(b) Statement of compliance

The interim consolidated financial statements are a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards IAS34: Interim Financial Reporting .

The condensed half-year report does not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Therefore, it cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and cash flows of the group as in the full financial report.

It is recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2020 and any public announcements made by Cazaly and its controlled entities during the half-year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001 and the ASX Listing Rules.

(c) Basis of preparation

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period except for the impact of the standards and interpretations below in note 1(e). These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards.

The financial statements are for the consolidated entity consisting of Cazaly Resources Ltd and its subsidiaries (the ‘Group’).

The financial report has also been prepared on an historical cost basis, except for available for sale investments which have been measured at fair value through profit and loss. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

The financial report is presented in Australian Dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.

(d) New accounting standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the Group

Standards and Interpretations applicable to 31 December 2020

In the period ended 31 December 2020, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Company and effective for the current annual reporting period. As a result of this review, 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 Group accounting policies.

Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted

The Directors have also reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted for the half-year ended 31 December 2020. As a result of this review the Directors have determined that there is no material impact of the Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted on the Company and, therefore, no change is necessary to Group accounting policies.

(e) Significant accounting judgements and key estimates

The preparation of interim financial reports requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In preparing this half-year report, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial report for the year ended 30 June 2020.

Capitalised exploration costs carried forward

The future recoverability of capitalised exploration costs carried forward has been reviewed by the directors. They are dependent on a number of factors, including whether the Group decides to exploit the related lease/licence itself or, if not, whether it successfully recovers the related exploration and evaluation asset through sale.

Factors that could impact the future recoverability include the level of reserves and resources, sovereign risk, future technological changes, availability of funds, future legal changes (including changes to environmental restoration obligations) and changes to commodity prices.

To the extent that capitalised exploration expenditure is determined not to be recoverable in the future, results and net assets will be reduced in the period in which this determination is made.

In addition, exploration and evaluation expenditure is capitalised if activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage that permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable resources. To the extent it is determined in the future that this capitalised expenditure should be written off, results and net assets will be reduced in the period in which this determination is made.

(f) Segment information

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments has been identified as the Managing Director of Cazaly.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report

To the Members of Cazaly Resources Limited

Conclusion

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Cazaly Resources Limited (“the Company”) and Controlled Entities (“the Consolidated Entity”) which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies and other selected explanatory notes, and the directors’ declaration.

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Cazaly Resources Limited and Controlled Entities does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • a. Giving a true and fair view of Cazaly Resources Limited financial position as at 31 December 2020 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • b. Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Basis for Conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company 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 that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

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

Independent Auditor’s Review Report To the Members of Cazaly Resources Limited (Continued)

==> picture [73 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

Responsibility of the Directors for the Financial Report

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

Auditor’s Responsibility for the Review of the Financial Report

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and its performance for the halfyear ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

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