REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
COMPANY OVERVIEW
Oar Resources Limited (formerly Oakdale Resources Limited) is an ASX-listed minerals explorer (“ Oar ” or the “ Company ”) and aspiring producer.
Oar acquired 100% of Australian Precious Minerals Pty Ltd, holder of the Crown Project in Western Australia. Crown is situated near the Julimar polymetallic discovery. Oar, through its wholly owned subsidiary Lymex Tenements Pty Ltd holds a number of tenements on the South Australian Eyre Peninsula which are considered highly prospective for kaolinite and halloysite mineralisation, graphite, iron ore and other commodities.
Oar has also acquired 100% of the Alpine Resources gold exploration projects in the highly prospective gold province of Nevada, United States, also ranked the third best mining jurisdiction in the world. The three projects are in an area that hosts several multi-million-ounce deposits. Oar’s Peruvian subsidiary Ozinca Peru SAC, owns a CIP gold lixiviation plant, strategically located proximal to thousands of small gold miners in Southern Peru.
AUSTRALIA
- – Gibraltar Halloysite kaolin project Eyre Peninsula, SA
Oar received grant of Exploration Licence EL6506 by the South Australian Department for Energy and Mining (“DEM”) during the period. The Project is located on SA’s Eyre Peninsula, to the north and adjacent to the Andromeda Metals Ltd (ASX: ADN) (“Andromeda”) Mt Hope Halloysite-Kaolin Project.
The Gibraltar Project area is dominated by recent cover sequences, with little to no outcropping basement geology in the area (Figure 1). Open file historical shallow auger drilling records[1 ] from within the tenement area have confirmed that the basement geology is dominated by granites and gneissic rock lithologies.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (CONT’D)
Oar submitted applications to DEM to complete initial reconnaissance air-core drilling over this area to confirm the historic drilling results in late September 2020.
The Company completed 2,045m of shallow drilling in 59 holes[2 ] targeting an area containing a historic Kaolinite - Halloysite occurrence. Drilling was completed on a nominal 100m x 100m grid spacing over the historic occurrence, widening out to 200m x 200m as the program progressed to the south. All samples were submitted to the laboratory in South Australia for detailed test work.
This test work included; brightness testing at the University of South Australia; definitive clay mineral species quantification via a combination of X-Ray Diffraction (“XRD”) by the CSRIO; and spectral scanning, and other elemental analysis via X-Ray Florence (“XRF”).
Results have confirmed the presence of both kaolinite and high-grade halloysite in saprolite clays developed over the gneissic granite basement. Results include[3] :
-
GBAC023: 3m @ 19.6% halloysite, 42.4% Kaolinite from 26m
-
GBAC053: 1m @ 12.6% halloysite, 28.7% kaolinite from 23m
-
oGBAC019: 3m @ 10.1% halloysite, 45.9% Kaolinite from 11moGBAC012: 13m @ 5.3% halloysite, 80.9% Kaolinite from 13m -
GBAC035: 12m @ 4.8% halloysite, 77.4% Kaolinite from 30m
The identified kaolin and halloysite mineralisation identified in this initial air-core drilling program remains open in all directions (Figure 2). The Company has approval to extend drilling to the north and has submitted additional approvals to expand the drilling to the east-west and south. Follow-up drilling is planned to be undertake in March-April 2021.
Crown PGE-Nickel-Copper-Gold project – Yilgarn, WA
The Company completed the acquisition of 100% of Australian Precious Minerals Pty Ltd (APM), holder of the Crown PGE-Nickel Copper Project (“Crown”, the “Project”) held within the exploration asset E70/5406, located within the Yilgarn Craton and approximately 70km northeast of Perth, Western Australia.
The Crown Project covers a series of prominent magnetic structures similar to Chalice Mining’s (ASX: CHN) Julimar Complex, and which have not been drill tested.
Reprocessing of available geophysical and radiometric data over the Company’s Crown Project was completed by Southern Geoscience consultants (“SGS”).
The interpretation has focused on identifying interrelationships of key structural features, differentiation of lithological units, potential zones of alteration and layered mafic-ultramafic intrusions, based on observations from airborne magnetic and radiometric data. Several potential alteration zones (demagnetised and magnetite addition) – possibly related to deeper intrusions – and structural elements have been identified within the Crown Project tenure, particularly in the southern portion of the tenement where the interpreted mafic lithologies have undergone significant faulting and folding.

Figure 3: OAR’s Crown Project – showing detailed geological interpretation and prioritised target areas
Based on the outcome of the independent interpretation and targeting, the next stages of work proposed for the Crown Project include: detailed reconnaissance mapping and ‘ground truthing’ to support the geological interpretation, systematic surface geochemical sampling over the priority target areas; physical property test work of any identified mineralisation, followed by additional geophysical surveys to better define drilling targets (gravity, IP, etc).
Discussions with local private landholders in the region are ongoing, along with engagement with representatives of the local Whadjak and Yued People in order to finalise a Native Title Heritage Agreement over the Project. OAR is not aware of any registered Aboriginal Sites, or Avoidance Areas registered with the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage within the tenement area.

NEVADA – USA
– Alpine Metals (USA) LLC Option Agreement
During the reporting period, the Company exercised its option with Alpine Resources (USA) LLC (“Alpine”) for the acquisition (through its US subsidiary Alpine Metals LLC) of Alpine's gold projects incorporating the Lambarson Canyon, Douglas Canyon and Tonopah North Projects in Nevada, USA. The Projects are targeting Carlin and epithermal style million plus ounce gold deposits in northern and southern Nevada, USA.

Lambarson Canyon Project
Diamond drilling operations commenced at the Lambarson Canyon Project, Nevada United States, in early September 2020, targeting an outcropping high-grade quartz breccia.
Assay results from LCD-01 confirmed the presence of primary epithermal gold mineralisation at Lambarson Canyon, with a highly fractured, epithermal quartz vein containing up to 10% pyrite returning an assay result of

1.16m @ 3.15 g/t Au from 243.54m (799ft – 802.8ft)[5] down hole. The host rock is a highly siliceous rhyolite porphyry.
LCD-02 was drilled to test a geophysical Induced Polarisation (“IP”) anomaly and the drill hole intersected highly fractured and oxidised porphyry from surface to 520ft (158m). The porphyry carries 1 to 2% disseminated sulphides which are mostly oxidised to limonite. All gold assay results for the second diamond drill hole completed at Lambarson canyon LCD-02, have now been received.
==> picture [377 x 281] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 5: Lambarson Canyon simplified geology showing selected sampling results[5] ; location of drill collars; and IP anomaly location
Results from the gold analysis clearly highlights a zone of altered porphyritic rocks with quartz veins and disseminated sulphide mineralisation in the hole. Results from this zone are significantly elevated against the background, with grades of up to 0.73/t Au[6] over 1.0m within a broader god zone of 13.3m @ 0.23g/t Au[6] from 92.8m. These elevated gold results are associated with moderate silica alteration and quartz veining.
The direct association between quartz veinlets and gold values see in LCD-20 is encouraging, in the context of results returned from the first hole drilled (LCD-01), which returned 1.16m @ 3.15 g/t Au from 243.54m[7] associated with a brecciated epithermal quartz vein. Further work will focus on targeting areas of intense stockwork and fracturing where quartz vein intensity should be high.
Following on from this work, it is proposed that the next stages of exploration for the Lambarson Canyon Project may include: the collection of additional geophysical data, systematic surface geochemical sampling and analysis, and detailed geological and structural fact mapping. This information will be integrated with the existing drill data to enable the planning of the next phase of drill testing.

Douglas Canyon
Oar planned 560m of drilling to test outcropping steeply dipping quartz vein in shear structures at the Douglas Canyon Project. Previously completed rock-chip sampling of these outcropping veins has returned high-grade gold and silver results including: 16.2g/t Au, 495 g/t Ag; 14.0 g/t Au, 423g/t Ag; and 18g/t Au, 398 g/t Ag[8] .
==> picture [445 x 372] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 6: Douglas Canyon Property showing Gold and Silver Sampling Results[8] (g/t Au, ppm Ag) and Location of Proposed Stage One Diamond Core Holes
Drilling is planned to commence in the first half of 2021 in the new field season and will be preceded by additional detailed field mapping (geological and structural), and reconnaissance prospecting. In addition to this work, the Company will investigate the suitability of various geophysical surveys to aid in the targeting of the interpreted target mineralisation. To date no geophysical surveys have been carried out on this property pending the selection of a suitable survey method.
Chimu Gold Plant – Peru
Licensing and management of the activities on Chimu gold plant have been delayed due to the Covid-19 initial lockdown and subsequent restrictions in Peru, the state of emergency currently in force, was extended until 2 September 2021. Oakdale continues to support its staff in Peru and is monitoring the situation closely.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Statement of compliance
The interim financial report is a general-purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’. The interim report does not include notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report and shall be read in conjunction with the most recent annual financial report in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001.
Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for the revaluation of certain non-current assets and financial instruments. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.
The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the interim financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the company’s 2020 annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2020, except for the impact of the Standards and Interpretations described below, and the change in accounting policy as described below. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards.
Accounting Standards that are mandatorily effective for the current reporting period
The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for an accounting period that begins on or after 1 January 2020.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the financial period are discussed below.
Impairment of Assets
Exploration Evaluation and Development Expenditure
Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs 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 which permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Impact of COVID-19
As previously disclosed, the Group is developing the Chimu gold processing plant in Peru. The Group’s Peru office is now closed, and staff are working from home. The receipt of the necessary approval from the Mining Authority in Peru for the upgrade to the Chimu plant is delayed due to COVID-19 and related restriction. Despite this, the Group assessment has determined that there has been no significant impact on the performance nor financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2020.
Going concern
The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
The Group incurred a loss for the period of $669,401 (2019: $1,041,164) and net operating cash outflow of $877,337 (2019: $1,227,839). As at 31 December 2020, the Group's cash and cash equivalents increased to $1,576,385 (2019: $537,651) and had a working capital position of $917,458.
During the period, the Group raised $2,200,000 with the issue of 104,761,905 shares and $280,000 through the conversion of convertible notes.
The directors have prepared a cash flow forecast, which indicates that the Consolidated Group will have sufficient cash flows to meet all commitments and working capital requirements for the 12-month period from the date of signing this report. The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is principally dependent upon the ability of the Group to secure funds by raising capital from equity markets and managing cash flow in line with available funds. These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern and realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
Based on the cash flow forecast and other factors referred to above, the Directors are satisfied that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate. In particular, given the Group’s history of raising capital to date and the support from its shareholders, the directors are confident of the Group’s ability to raise additional funds as and when they are required.
Should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern it may be required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts different to those stated in the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or to the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern and meet its debts as and when they fall due.

Note 2 Projects Acquisition
Crown Project
On 13 August 2020, the Group completed the acquisition of 100% of Australian Precious Minerals Pty Ltd (APM), holder of the Crown PGE-Nickel-Copper Project (Crown, the Project) held within the exploration asset E70/5406, located within the Yilgarn Craton and approximately 70km north east of Perth, Western Australia, following from the shareholder approval received at the General Meeting held on 30 July 2020.

27,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares subject to the granting of the tenement application.
-
27,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares subject to the granting of the drilling program approval by the WA Mines Department.
As at the date of this Report, only 35,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares valued at $105,000 have been issued to the Vendors (Note 7: Other Assets and Note 17: Contingent Liabilities). The purchase is treated as an asset acquisition with the purchase consideration recognised in Other Assets as the exploration tenement E70/5406 is still in application at the date of this report, with no other assets and liabilities recorded at acquisition.
Alpine Project
The Group paid an option fee of $760,839 in the prior period and has exercised its option with Alpine Resources (USA) Pty Ltd ( “Alpine” ) in August 2020, to acquire Alpine's gold projects incorporating the Lambarson Canyon, Douglas Canyon and Tonopah North Projects in Nevada, USA. The Projects are targeting Carlin and epithermal style million plus ounce gold deposits in northern and southern Nevada, USA.
The acquisition of Alpine and its Projects was settled through issuing the Vendors fully paid ordinary shares as follows:
-
30,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares.
-
At the Group’s election to either issue 80,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in OAR by 31 August 2022 (Deferred Consideration Shares) or facilitate the transfer of the gold projects back to the Vendor.
-
80,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company on the announcement of the first 500,000 ounces of gold or gold equivalent JORC Code compliant resource on any of the Alpine gold projects.
-
175,000,000 fully paid ordinary share in the Company on the announcement on a second 500,000 ounces of gold or gold equivalent JORC Code compliant resource on any of the Alpine gold projects.
As at the date of this Report, only 30,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares have been issued to the Vendors valued at $150,000 based on the market price of the ordinary shares on the date of the option exercise (Note 9: Exploration and Evaluation Costs and Note 17: Contingent Liabilities).

| Note 4 Segmental Reporting |
For management’s purposes, the Group is organised into three main operating segments based on geographic areas, USA, Peru and Australia during the current period.
This is different to how it was organised in previous period where the Group is organised into one main operating segment which involves the exploration and development of minerals in Australia and where the financial results from the one segment are equivalent to the financial statements of the Group as a whole.
The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board (chief operating decision maker) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. The Group’s three operating segments for current period are USA, Australia and Peru. The accounting policies applied for internal reporting purposes are consistent with those applied in the preparation of these financial statements.
The following is an analysis of the Group’s revenues, results, assets, liabilities by reportable operating segment for the current period.
