DIRECTORS’ REPORT

==> picture [177 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

The Directors of Constellation Resources Limited present their report on the Group consisting of Constellation Resources Limited (the “ Company ” or “ Constellation ”) and the entities it controlled at the end or, or during, the year ended 30 June 2024 (the “ Group ”).

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

The principal activity of the Group during the year consisted of the exploration for minerals and other commodities, including the Orpheus Project.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

Highlights

  • Preferred applicant for six Special Prospecting Authorities with an Acreage Option (“SPA-AO”) applications covering 56,192km[2] within Western Australia (Figure 1, 2 and 3). These first mover applications capture two basin scale opportunities that are considered highly prospective for natural hydrogen and helium .

  • Western Australian parliament passed the Petroleum Legislation Amendment Bill 2023 in May 2024 that establishes the framework for both the exploration for, and subsequent inclusion into existing gas pipelines, of naturally occurring hydrogen in Western Australia.

  • Global hydrogen demand is expected to grow fivefold by 2050. Current hydrogen consumption is mainly sourced from grey hydrogen (produced by natural gas).

  • The economic potential of natural hydrogen as an energy source with its additional benefit as a zero-carbon fuel is gathering momentum worldwide.

  • Natural hydrogen is sourced underground and offers the potential for significantly lower cost of production when carbon emissions compared to other hydrogen production (including subsidies).

  • o Hydrogen is a colourless, odourless, tasteless and non-toxic gas which when combusted produces only a water vapour, making it a greener energy source.

  • Soil sampling undertaken at the Orpheus Project (“Orpheus”) identified promising coherent nickel and copper anomalism, with other pathfinder elements for nickel sulphides confirmed. Testing of prospective targets with air-core drilling to occur, subject to finalising terms of heritage agreements and rig availability.

  • Successful completion of placement to sophisticated investors and Directors and Officers of the Company to raise gross proceeds of $1.4 million.

  • Several opportunities have been reviewed and the Company will continue in its efforts to identify and acquire suitable new opportunities in the resources sector, both domestically and overseas.

EXPLORATION FOR NATURALLY OCCURRING HYDROGEN LEGISLATED IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA

During the financial year, the Western Australian parliament passed the Petroleum Legislation Amendment Bill 2023, which establishes the framework for both the exploration for, and subsequent inclusion into existing gas pipelines, of naturally occurring hydrogen in Western Australia.

Constellation was previously advised that it had been conditionally accepted as the preferred applicant for six Special Prospecting Authorities with an Acreage Option (“SPA-AO”) applications over the Edmund-Collier and Yerrida Basin areas (Figure 2), a cumulative area of 56,192km[2] . Constellation considers that it has selected two of the most prospective large-scale basin opportunities for hydrogen, helium and associated gases that will give it a first mover advantage in the search for natural hydrogen in Western Australia. The proximity of both the Edmund Collier and Yerrida Basin projects to the Dampier to Perth and Goldfields gas pipelines offers a potential solution to market should a discovery occur.

Global hydrogen demand is expected to grow fivefold by 2050. Current hydrogen consumption is mainly sourced from grey hydrogen (produced by natural gas) and the search for and uses of a zero-carbon source of hydrogen is gathering momentum worldwide. Natural hydrogen is a colourless, odourless, tasteless and non-toxic energy source, with only a water vapour by-product, making it a zero-carbon fuel, with no water requirements needed for production. Natural hydrogen is sourced underground and offers the potential for significantly lower cost of production and carbon emissions compared to other hydrogen production (including subsidies).

The world’s only known natural hydrogen producing field is Bourakebougou in Mali, Africa which has been generating carbon free electricity utilising natural hydrogen since 2012. The Company considers both its Edmund Collier and Yerrida Basin Projects to have the potential to be a larger scale analogue of Bourakebougou. The Yerrida Basin applications prospectivity is further supported by reported gas outbursts from underground mining operations that bookend the project area.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Continued)

==> picture [178 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

During the financial year, the Company commenced engagement meetings with relevant stakeholders (native title groups, pastoral stations, other tenement holders etc) regarding its proposed activities on the SPA-AOs. Engagement with relevant stakeholders is one of the preliminary steps in a multi stage program to seek grant of the SPA-AOs and the search for hydrogen, helium and associated gases.

Upon grant of and receiving approval to commence on-ground work programs, the initial planned activity includes a large scale regional soil gas sampling program utilising hand held gas detectors that are able to detect a range of gases as a proxy for helium, as this gas is only able to be measured by laboratory analysis. Sample site locations are located along the side of gazetted roads and tracks to minimise disturbance and simplify access issues.

For further information on the Company’s SPA-AOs applications over the Edmund-Collier and Yerrida Basin areas, please refer to its ASX announcements dated 6 March 2024 and 27 May 2024.

ORPHEUS PROJECT – FRASER PROJECT

The Group manages the Orpheus Project (Figure 4), comprising five tenements covering approximately 340km[2] in the Fraser Range province of Western Australia. In the Fraser Range, certain Proterozoic mafic/ultramafic intrusion suites are prospective to host nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation. The region has had high levels of exploration activity for nickel following the Nova, Silver Knight and Mawson discoveries.

The Orpheus Project includes a 70% interest in two mineral exploration licences (E28/2403 and E63/1281) and one mineral exploration licence application (E63/1695). The granted exploration licences form part of a joint venture between the Company (70%) and Enterprise Metals Limited (“Enterprise”) (30%, ASX: ENT). Pursuant to the joint venture agreement, the Company is responsible for sole funding all joint venture activities on the tenements, which form part of the joint venture, up to completion of a bankable feasibility study.

Additionally, the Company has further 100% interests in two exploration licences (E28/2738 and E28/2957).

ORPHEUS PROJECT – TRANSLINE TENEMENTS

The Company previously carried out follow up programs to progress the positive results returned from ultrafine soil sampling programs completed within the Transline (“Transline”) tenement portfolio of the wider Orpheus Project in the Fraser Range of Western Australia (Figure 4 and 5). The Transline tenements include E28/2738, E28/2957 (100% Constellation) and E28/2403 (70% Constellation, 30% Enterprise Metals Limited (ASX: ENT)).

Figure 5a and 5b: Ultrafine soil sampling nickel (Ni) and copper (Cu) points with magnetics base image and MLTEM.

The results of the ultrafine program identified promising areas of elevated coincident nickel, copper and gold soil anomalism, along with other pathfinder elements, cobalt, silver, tellurium, selenium and chromite in the Eucla Basin cover sequence (Figure 5). The Eucla Basin thickness is interpreted to be 60-100m over the Proterozoic Basement units, based on a previous passive seismic survey undertaken by the Company.

The Company had previously interpreted ten priority Geophysical Targets (of which five were drill tested) at Transline from completed gravity and aeromagnetic surveys that could represent Proterozoic mafic intrusions that are concealed beneath the Eucla Basin cover sequence. Mafic intrusions in the Fraser Range are the key host unit for nickel sulphides deposits as displayed at the IGO Nova nickel mine. The nickel and copper anomalous soil results are located near Geophysical Targets 8, 9 and 10, however, importantly, no drilling has been undertaken where the soil anomalies have been identified.

Future exploration work programs at the Orpheus Project in the Fraser Range include the testing of prospective targets with air-core drilling, expected to take place in due course, subject to the finalising of terms for heritage agreements for access.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW (Continued)

Business Strategies and Prospects for Future Financial Years

The objective of the Group is to create long-term shareholder value through the discovery, development and acquisition of technically feasible and/or economically viable mineral projects. To date, the Group has not commenced production of any minerals, nor has it identified a Mineral Resource in accordance with the JORC Code. To achieve its objective, the Group currently intends over the medium term to conduct further exploration activities including field work at its projects. These activities are inherently risky and the Board is unable to provide certainty of the expected results of these activities, or that any or all of these likely developments will be achieved. The material business risks faced by the Group that could have an effect on the Group’s future prospects, and how the Group manages these risks include:

  • The Group’s exploration programmes may not identify an economic deposit – The Group’s projects are at an early stage of exploration and current/potential investors should understand that mineral exploration, development and mining are high-risk enterprises, only occasionally providing high rewards. The success of the Group depends, among other things, on successful exploration and/or acquisition of reserves, securing and maintaining title to tenements and consents, successful design, construction, commissioning and operating of mining and processing facilities, successful development and production in accordance with forecasts and successful management of the operations. Exploration and mining activities may also be hampered by force majeure circumstances, land claims and unforeseen mining problems. There is no assurance that exploration and development of the mineral interests owned by the Group, or any other projects that may be acquired in the future, will result in the discovery of mineral deposits which are capable of being exploited economically. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be profitably exploited. If such commercial viability is never attained, the Group may seek to transfer its property interests or otherwise realise value, or the Group may even be required to abandon its business and fail as a “going concern”;

  • The Group’s exploration and any future mining activities are dependent upon the grant, maintenance and/or renewal from time to time of the appropriate title interests, licences, concessions, leases, claims, permits and regulatory consents which may be withdrawn or made subject to new limitations - The Group notes that there is no assurance that title interests including the hydgroen and helium related Special Prospecting Authorities with an Acreage Option (“SPA-AOs”) and the Petroleum Exploration Permit (“PEP”), licences, concessions, leases, claims, permits or regulatory consents will be granted, or even if granted, not be revoked, significantly altered or granted on terms or with conditions not acceptable to the Company, or not renewed to the detriment of the Company or that the renewals thereof will be successful. Additionally, the Company may not progress to a granted SPA-AO or applying for a PEP, for a number of factors including but not limited to results from exploration activities, the abundance of gases present and/or native title and other stakeholder obligations.

  • The Group’s operations will require further capital – the exploration and any development of the Group’s exploration properties will require substantial additional financing. Failure to obtain sufficient financing may result in delaying, or the indefinite postponement of, exploration and any development of the Group’s properties or even a loss of property interest. There can be no assurance that additional capital or other types of financing will be available if needed or that, if available, the terms of such financing will be favourable to the Group;

  • The Group may be adversely affected by fluctuations in commodity prices – the price of commodities fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Group. Future production, if any, from the Group’s mineral properties will be dependent upon the price of commodities being adequate to make these properties economic. The Group currently does not engage in any hedging or derivative transactions to manage commodity price risk. As the Group’s operations change, this policy will be reviewed periodically going forward; and

  • Global financial conditions may adversely affect the Group’s growth and profitability – many industries, including the mineral resource industry, are impacted by these market conditions. Some of the key impacts include contraction in credit markets resulting in a widening of credit risk, devaluations and high volatility in global equity, commodity, foreign exchange and precious metal markets, and a lack of market liquidity. Due to the current nature of the Group’s activities, a slowdown in the financial markets or other economic conditions may adversely affect the Group’s growth and ability to finance its activities.

Results of Operations

The net loss of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2024 was $1,892,919 (2023: $1,273,152). This loss is predominately comprised of exploration and evaluation expenditure and is attributable to the Group’s accounting policy of expensing exploration and evaluation expenditure (other than expenditures incurred in the acquisition of the rights to explore) incurred by the Group. In the current financial year, the net loss also includes share based payments expenses totalling $380,674 (2023: $972) relating to incentive options. The fair value of the incentive options is recognised over the vesting period of the option.

Financial Position

As at 30 June 2024, the Group had a net current asset surplus of $2,200,746 (2023: $2,350,636). At 30 June 2024, the Group had cash reserves of $2,293,234 (2023: $2,415,108) and borrowings of nil (2023: $nil). At 30 June 2024, the Group had net assets of $2,580,035 (2023: $2,735,727).

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Continued)

==> picture [178 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

REMUNERATION REPORT - AUDITED

This Remuneration Report, which forms part of the Directors' Report, sets out information about the remuneration of Key Management Personnel (“KMP”) of the Group.

Details of Key Management Personnel

The KMP of the Group during or since the end of the financial year were as follows:

Directors

Mr Ian Middlemas Chairman Mr Peter Woodman Managing Director Mr Peter Muccilli Technical Director Mr Robert Behets Non-Executive Director Mr Mark Pearce Non-Executive Director

Other KMP Mr Lachlan Lynch Company Secretary

Unless otherwise disclosed, the KMP held their position from 1 July 2023 until the date of this report.

Remuneration Policy

The Group’s remuneration policy for its KMP has been developed by the Board taking into account the size of the Group, the size of the management team for the Group, the nature and stage of development of the Group’s current operations, and market conditions and comparable salary levels for companies of a similar size and operating in similar sectors. In addition to considering the above general factors, the Board has also placed emphasis on the following specific issues in determining the remuneration policy for KMP:

  • (a) the Group is currently focussed on undertaking exploration, appraisal and development activities;

  • (b) risks associated with small cap resource companies whilst exploring and developing projects; and

  • (c) other than profit which may be generated from asset sales, the Group does not expect to be undertaking profitable operations until sometime after the commencement of commercial production of the project.

Remuneration Policy for Executives

The Group’s remuneration policy is to provide a fixed remuneration component and a performance based component (short term incentive and long term incentive). The Board believes that this remuneration policy is appropriate given the considerations discussed in the section above and is appropriate in aligning executives’ objectives with shareholder and business objectives.

Fixed Remuneration

Fixed remuneration consists of base salary, as well as employer contributions to superannuation funds and other non-cash benefits. Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Board. The process consists of a review of Group and individual performance, relevant comparative remuneration externally and internally and, where appropriate, external advice on policies and practices.

Performance Based Remuneration – Short Term Incentive

Some executives are entitled to an annual cash incentive payment upon achieving various key performance indicators (“KPI’s”), as set by the Board. Having regard to the current size, nature and opportunities of the Group, the Board has determined that these KPI’s will include measures such as successful commencement and/or completion of exploration activities (e.g. commencement/completion of exploration programs within budgeted timeframes and costs), establishment of government relationships (e.g. establish and maintain sound working relationships with government and officialdom), development activities (e.g. completion of infrastructure studies and commercial agreements), corporate activities (e.g. recruitment of key personnel and representation of the company at international conferences) and business development activities (e.g. corporate transactions and capital raisings).

These measures were chosen as the Board believes they represent the key drivers in the short and medium term success of the Project’s development. On an annual basis, subsequent to year end, the Board assesses performance against each individual executive’s KPI criteria. During the 2024 financial year, no bonuses (2023: nil) were approved, paid, or are payable.

Constellation Resources Limited ANNUAL REPORT 2024 10

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Continued)

==> picture [178 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

REMUNERATION REPORT – AUDITED (CONTINUED)

Performance Based Remuneration – Long Term Incentive

The Board has or may issue incentive securities to some executives (if applicable) as a key component of the incentive portion of their remuneration, in order to attract and retain the services of any executives and to provide an incentive linked to the performance of the Group. The Board considers that for each executive who has or may receive securities in the future, their experience in the resources industry will greatly assist the Group in progressing its projects to the next stage of development and the identification of new projects. As such, the Board believes that the number of incentive securities to be granted to any executives will be commensurate to their value to the Group.

The Board has a policy of granting incentive securities to executives (if applicable) with exercise prices at and/or above market share price (at the time of agreement). As such, incentive securities granted to executives will generally only be of benefit if the executives perform to the level whereby the value of the Group increases sufficiently to warrant exercising the incentive securities granted.

Other than service-based vesting conditions, there are not expected to be additional performance criteria if incentive securities are granted to executives, as given the speculative nature of the Group’s activities and the small management team responsible for its running, it is considered the performance of the executives and the performance and value of the Group are closely related. If other forms of incentive securities are issued, then performance milestones may be applied. The Group’s Securities Trading Policy prohibits KMP from entering into arrangements to limit their exposure to Incentive Securities granted as part of their remuneration package.

During the year ended 30 June 2024, 4,650,000 unlisted incentive options were issued to KMP (30 June 2023: nil), no incentive options previously issued to KMP were exercised (30 June 2023: nil) and no incentive options previously issued to KMP expired (30 June 2023: 1,050,000).

Remuneration Policy for Non-Executive Directors

The Board policy is to remunerate Non-Executive Directors at or below market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. Given the current size, nature and risks of the Group, incentive securities may be used to attract and retain Non-Executive Directors. The Board determines payments to the Non-Executive Directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required.

The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to Non-Executive Directors is subject to approval by shareholders at a General Meeting. Total Directors' fees paid to all Non-Executive Directors are not to exceed $250,000 per annum. Director's fees paid to Non-Executive Directors accrue on a daily basis. Fees for NonExecutive Directors are not linked to the performance of the entity. However, to align Directors' interests with shareholder interests, the Directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company and Non-Executive Directors may in limited circumstances receive incentive securities in order to secure their services.

Fees for the Chairman are presently $36,000 and fees for other Non-Executive Directors are $20,000 per annum plus superannuation. These fees cover main board activities only. Non-Executive Directors may receive additional remuneration for other services provided to the Group.

Relationship between Remuneration of KMP and Shareholder Wealth

During the Group’s project identification, acquisition, exploration and development phases of its business, the Board anticipates that the Group will retain earnings (if any) and other cash resources for the exploration and development of its resource projects. Accordingly the Group does not currently have a policy with respect to the payment of dividends and returns of capital. Therefore there is no relationship between the Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration of KMP and dividends paid and returns of capital by the Group during the current and previous financial years.

The Board did not determine the nature and amount of remuneration of the KMP by reference to changes in the price at which shares in the Company traded between the beginning and end of the current financial year. Discretionary annual cash bonuses, when applicable, will be based on achieving various non-financial key performance indicators to be determined by the Board. However, as noted above, KMP’s may receive Incentive Securities which generally will only be of value should the value of the Company’s shares increase sufficiently to warrant exercising the Incentive Securities.

As discussed above, the Group is currently undertaking new project acquisition, exploration and development activities, and does not expect to be undertaking profitable operations (other than by way of material asset sales, none of which are currently planned) until sometime after the successful commercialisation, production and sales of commodities from one or more of its projects. Accordingly the Board does not consider earnings during the current and previous financial years when determining the nature and amount of remuneration of KMP.

In addition to a focus on operating activities, the Board is also focussed on finding and completing new business and other corporate opportunities. The Board considers that the prospects of the Group and resulting impact on shareholder wealth will be enhanced by this approach. Accordingly, a bonus may be paid upon the successful completion of a new business or corporate transaction. No bonuses were declared or paid to KMP in the current financial year (2023: nil).

Where required, KMP receive superannuation contributions, currently equal to 11% of their salary, and do not receive any other retirement benefit. This amount will be increased to 11.5% beginning 1 July 2024.

All remuneration provided to KMP is valued at cost to the company and expensed. Incentive securities are valued using the Black Scholes option or Binomial valuation methodology as appropriate. The value of these incentive securities is expensed over the vesting period.

1. STATEMENT OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(d) Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Constellation Resources Limited (“Company” or “Parent Entity”) as at 30 June 2024 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Constellation Resources Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to as the Group.

Control is only achieved when the Group has the power over the investee (i.e. ability to direct relevant activities of the investee), is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and when it has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. When the Group has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over the investee, including the size of the Group's holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders, the potential voting rights held by the Company, other vote holders or other parties and any rights arising from other contractual arrangements.

The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the elements of control. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions and balances, income and expenses and profits and losses between Group companies, are eliminated. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting year as the Parent Entity, using consistent accounting policies. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment in the individual financial statements of the Company.

(e) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of 3 months or less.

(f) Trade and Other Receivables

Trade receivables are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an expected credit loss provision. An estimate for the expected credit loss is made based on the historical risk of default and expected loss rates at the inception of the transaction. Inputs are selected for the expected credit loss impairment calculation based on the Group’s past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates.

(g) Payables

Liabilities are recognised for amounts to be paid in the future for goods and services received. Trade accounts payable are normally settled within 30 days.

(h) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.

(i) Operating Segments

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 the entity's chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance and for which discrete financial information is available. The chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Board of Directors, taken as a whole. 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 to the Board of Directors. The Group 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”.

1. STATEMENT OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(j) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure

Expenditure on exploration and evaluation is accounted for in accordance with the 'area of interest' method and with AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources , which is the Australian equivalent of IFRS 6. Exploration and evaluation expenditure encompasses expenditures incurred by the Group in connection with the exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources before the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource are demonstrable.

For each area of interest, expenditure incurred in the acquisition of rights to explore is capitalised, classified as tangible or intangible, and recognised as an exploration and evaluation asset. Exploration and evaluation assets are measured at cost at recognition and are recorded as an asset if:

  • (i) the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and

  • (ii) at least one of the following conditions is also met:

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

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

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred by the Group subsequent to the acquisition of the rights to explore is expensed as incurred, up until the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the project has been demonstrated with a bankable feasibility study.

Capitalised exploration costs are reviewed at each reporting date to establish whether an indication of impairment exists. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the capitalised exploration costs is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in previous years.

Where a decision is made to proceed with development, accumulated expenditure is tested for impairment and transferred to development properties, and then amortised over the life of the reserves associated with the area of interest once mining operations have commenced. Recoverability of the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective areas of interest.

(k) Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to members of the Company for the reporting period, after excluding any costs of servicing equity, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares of the Company.

Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the basic EPS earnings, adjusted by the after tax effect of financing costs associated with dilutive potential Ordinary Shares and the effect on revenues and expenses of conversion to Ordinary Shares associated with dilutive potential Ordinary Shares, by the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares and dilutive Ordinary Shares.

(l) Revenue Recognition

Interest revenue is recognised as it accrues, taking into account the effective yield on the financial asset.

(m) Goods and Services Tax

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

(n) Interests in Joint Operations

The Group's share of the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of joint venture operations are included in the appropriate items of the financial statements. Details of the Group’s interests in joint operations are shown at Note 19.

1. STATEMENT OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(o) Use and Revision of Accounting Estimates

The preparation of the financial report requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

In particular, information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are described Note 1(v).

(p) Income Tax

The income tax expense for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the notional income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to unused tax losses.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively enacted for each jurisdiction. The relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences to measure the deferred tax asset or liability. An exception is made for certain temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability. No deferred tax asset or liability is recognised in relation to these temporary differences if they arose on goodwill or in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. The carrying amount of deferred income 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 income tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each balance date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against tax liabilities and the deferred tax liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

(q) Issued Capital

Ordinary Shares are classified as equity. Issued and paid up capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Company. 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.

(r) Dividends

Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the Company, on or before the end of the year but not distributed at reporting date.

(s) Share-Based Payments

Equity-settled share-based payments are provided to officers, employees, consultants and other advisors. These share-based payments are measured at the fair value of the equity instrument at the grant date. Fair value is determined using an appropriate option pricing model. The fair value determined at the grant date is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group's estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest. At each reporting date, the Group revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in profit or loss over the remaining vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to the share based payments reserve. Equity-settled share-based payments may also be provided as consideration for the acquisition of assets. Where ordinary shares are issued, the transaction is recorded at fair value based on the quoted price of the ordinary shares at the date of issue. The acquisition is then recorded as an asset or expensed in accordance with accounting standards.

1. STATEMENT OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(t) Plant and Equipment

(i) Cost and valuation

All classes of plant and equipment are measured at cost. Where assets have been revalued, the potential effect of the capital gains tax on disposal has not been taken into account in the determination of the revalued carrying amount. Where it is expected that a liability for capital gains tax will arise, this expected amount is disclosed by way of note.

(ii) Depreciation

Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis on all property, plant and equipment. Computer equipment is depreciated over a three year useful life.

(u) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset's value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash-generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

(v) Significant judgements and key assumptions

The directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.

(i) Key judgements

The Group capitalises expenditure incurred in the acquisition of rights to explore and records this as an asset where it is considered likely to be recoverable or where the activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves (Note 1(j)). There are areas of interest from which no reserves have been extracted, but the directors are of the continued belief that such expenditure should not be written off since the activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves.

The Group recognises share based payments in accordance with the policy at Note 1(s). Key judgements include the option valuation and estimate of the number of options likely to vest.

(c) Rights Attaching to Ordinary Shares

The rights attaching to fully paid ordinary shares (“ Ordinary Shares ”) arise from a combination of the Company's Constitution, statute and general law. The clauses of the Constitution contain the internal rules of the Company and define matters such as the rights, duties and powers of its shareholders and directors, including provisions to the following effect (when read in conjunction with the Corporations Act 2001 or Listing Rules).

(i) Shares The issue of shares in the capital of the Company and options over unissued shares by the Company is under the control of the directors, subject to the Corporations Act 2001 and any rights attached to any special class of shares.

(ii) Meetings of Members Directors may call a meeting of members whenever they think fit. Members may call a meeting as provided by the Corporations Act 2001. The Constitution contains provisions prescribing the content requirements of notices of meetings of members and all members are entitled to a notice of meeting. A meeting may be held in two or more places linked together by audio-visual communication devices. A quorum for a meeting of members is 2 shareholders.

(iii) Voting

Subject to any rights or restrictions at the time being attached to any shares or class of shares of the Company, each member of the Company is entitled to receive notice of, attend and vote at a general meeting. Resolutions of members will be decided by a show of hands unless a poll is demanded. On a show of hands each eligible voter present has one vote. However, where a person present at a general meeting represents personally or by proxy, attorney or representative more than one member, on a show of hands the person is entitled to one vote only despite the number of members the person represents. On a poll each eligible member has one vote for each fully paid share held and a fraction of a vote for each partly paid share determined by the amount paid up on that share.

(iv) Changes to the Constitution

The Company's Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of the members present and voting at a general meeting of the Company. At least 28 days' written notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.

(c) Terms and Conditions of Unlisted Incentive Options

The Unlisted Options are granted based upon the following terms and conditions:

  • Each Unlisted Option entitles the holder to the right to subscribe for one Ordinary Share upon the exercise of each Unlisted Option;

  • The Unlisted Options are exercisable at any time prior to the Expiry Date, subject to vesting conditions being satisfied (if applicable);

  • Ordinary Shares issued on exercise of the Unlisted Options rank equally with the then Ordinary Shares of the Company;

  • Application will be made by the Company to ASX for official quotation of the Ordinary Shares issued upon the exercise of the Unlisted Options;

  • If there is any reconstruction of the issued share capital of the Company, the rights of the Unlisted Option holders may be varied to comply with the ASX Listing Rules which apply to the reconstruction at the time of the reconstruction; and

  • No application for quotation of the Unlisted Incentive Options will be made by the Company.

(d) Other Equity Reserve

On 30 April 2018, the Company entered into a Debt for Equity Subscription Agreement with its parent entity Apollo Minerals. Under the terms of the agreement, Apollo Minerals agreed to forgive all loan advances made to the Company in relation to exploration activities at the Orpheus Project. The balance of the loan as at the date of forgiveness was $1,200,148. As the transaction was between a parent entity and subsidiary, the forgiven amount has been recognised directly in equity.

16. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

Overview

The Group's principal financial instruments comprise cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and trade and other payables. The main risks arising from the Group's financial instruments are liquidity risk, interest rate risk and credit risk.

This note presents information about the Group's exposure to the above risks, its objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital. Other than as disclosed, there have been no significant changes since the previous financial year to the exposure or management of these risks.

The Group manages its exposure to key financial risks in accordance with the Group's financial risk management policy. Key risks are monitored and reviewed as circumstances change (e.g. acquisition of a new project) and policies are revised as required. The overall objective of the Group's financial risk management policy is to support the delivery of the Group's financial targets whilst protecting future financial security.

Given the nature and size of the business and uncertainty as to the timing and amount of cash inflows and outflows, the Group does not enter into derivative transactions to mitigate the financial risks. In addition, the Group's policy is that no trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken for the purposes of making speculative gains. As the Group's operations change, the Directors will review this policy periodically going forward.

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing the Group's financial risks as summarised below.

(a) Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Board's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that the Group will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due.

The contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments, are provided below. There are no netting arrangements in respect of financial liabilities.

Financial Liabilities
Trade and otherpayables 49,380 - - - 49,380
49,380 - - - 49,380

(b) Commodity Price Risk

The Group is exposed to commodity price risk. These commodity prices can be volatile and are influenced by factors beyond the Group’s control. As the Group is currently engaged in exploration and business development activities, no sales of commodities are forecast for the next 12 months, and accordingly, no hedging or derivative transactions have been used to manage commodity price risk.

Constellation Resources Limited ANNUAL REPORT 2024 37

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024

==> picture [177 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

16. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(c) Capital Management

The Group manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern while financing the development of its projects through primarily equity based financing. The Board's policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Given the stage of the Group, the Board's objective is to minimise debt and to raise funds as required through the issue of new shares.

The Group is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

There were no changes in the Group's approach to capital management during the year. During the next 12 months, the Group will continue to explore financing opportunities, primarily consisting of additional issues of equity should it be required.

(d) Fair Value

The net fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities approximates their carrying value as at 30 June 2024 and 30 June 2023.

(e) Interest Rate Risk

The Group's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the cash and short-term deposits with a floating interest rate.

These financial assets with variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. All other financial assets and liabilities, in the form of receivables and payables are non-interest bearing.

At the reporting date, the interest rate profile of the Group's interest-bearing financial instruments was:

2024
2023
$
$
Interest-bearing financial instruments
Cash and cash equivalents 2,293,234
2,415,108
2,293,234
2,415,108

The Group’s cash at bank and on hand had a weighted average floating interest rate at year end of 4.32% (2023: 4.09%). The Group currently does not engage in any hedging or derivative transactions to manage interest rate risk.

Interest rate sensitivity

A sensitivity of 20% has been selected as this is considered reasonable given the current level of both short term and long term interest rates. A 20% movement in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased (decreased) equity and profit and loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, remain constant.

Profit or loss Equity Equity

16. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(f) Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. This arises principally from cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables.

There are no significant concentrations of credit risk within the Group. The carrying amount of the Group's financial assets represents the maximum credit risk exposure, as represented below:

2024
2023
$
$
Financial assets
Cash and cash equivalents 2,293,234
2,415,108
Other receivables 8,798
436
2,302,032
2,415,544

The Group does not have any customers and accordingly does not have any significant exposure to credit losses. Other receivables comprise primarily GST refunds and interest receivable. At 30 June 2024, none (2023: none) of the Group's receivables are past due. No impairment losses on receivables have been recognised. With respect to credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents, the Group's exposure to credit risk arises from historical default of the counter party, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments.

17. COMMITMENTS

As a condition of retaining the current rights to tenure to exploration tenements, the Group is required to pay an annual rental charge and meet minimum expenditure requirements for each tenement. These obligations are not provided for in the financial statements and are at the sole discretion of the Group:

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 2024, 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 (other than the consolidated entity disclosure statement) that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 ; and

  • the consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, and

for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of:

  • the financial report (other than the consolidated entity disclosure statement) that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and

  • the consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct and is free of 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.

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 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.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

Constellation Resources Limited (“Constellation Resources” or “Company”) believes corporate governance is important for the Company in conducting its business activities.

The Board of the Company has adopted a suite of charters and key corporate governance documents which articulate the policies and procedures followed by the Company.

These documents are available in the Corporate Governance section of the Company’s website, www.constellationresources.com.au. These documents are reviewed annually to address any changes in governance practices and the law.

The Company’s Corporate Governance Statement 2024, which explains how Constellation Resources complies with the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s ‘Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations – 4th Edition’ in relation to the year ended 30 June 2024, is available in the Corporate Governance section of the Company’s website, www.constellationresources.com.au and will be lodged with ASX together with an Appendix 4G at the same time that this Annual Report is lodged with ASX.

In addition to the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s ‘Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations – 4th Edition’ the Board has taken into account a number of important factors in determining its corporate governance policies and procedures, including the:

  • relatively simple operations of the Company, which currently only undertakes mineral exploration and development activities;

  • cost verses benefit of additional corporate governance requirements or processes;

  • size of the Board;

  • Board’s experience in the resources sector;

  • organisational reporting structure and number of reporting functions, operational divisions and employees;

  • relatively simple financial affairs with limited complexity and quantum;

  • relatively small market capitalisation and economic value of the entity; and

  • • direct shareholder feedback.
