REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Introduction
CZR Resources Ltd (CZR) has exploration focussed primarily on iron-ore and gold but also investigates any other opportunities for commodities with the potential to generate a profitable mining operation. CZR holds an 85% interest in the Yarraloola and Buddadoo Projects, a 70% interest in the Shepherd's Well, Croydon and Yarrie Projects.
Each project is located in proximity to transport infrastructure (Fig 1). Details of the projects and an overview of results from the past six months are presented in the following sections.

Yarraloola Iron-Ore Project
The Yarraloola project (E08/1060, E08/1686, E08/1826 MLA08/519) covers an area of 206 square kilometres and is located 100 kilometres southwest of Karratha with bitumen highway access (Fig 2). CZR has defined to JORC2012 standard, deposits of direct-shipping iron-ore at Robe Mesa, Robe East and P529, and is exploring magnetite mineralisation at the Ashburton prospect that will require down-stream processing before shipping.
The Robe deposits on the CZR tenure are located within a mineralised system that is mined on adjacent tenure by RioTinto and about 34 million tonnes per annum is exported from ports near Karratha. There is also a suite of undeveloped deposits with a similar geological setting and style of mineralisation extending from Cochrane to Catho Well to the south of the Robe. In contrast to the well characterised and marketable style of mineralisation in the Robe, the Ashburton magnetite prospect represents a new style of volcanic-hosted mineralisation in the West Pilbara that has a similar geological setting to the Fortescue Metals Group’s (FMG) Iron Bridge Project.

Robe Mesa Iron-Ore Deposits – Review and Prefeasibility Studies
In response to the increased demand and pricing for direct-shipping iron-ore during 2020, CZR initiated a strategic review and then progressed to a prefeasibility study (PFS) on its Robe Mesa channel iron deposits (CID) which comprise Robe Mesa, Robe East and P529 at Yarraloola (Figure 3).

The Robe Mesa and Robe East deposits contain 89.1Mt @ 53.7% Fe (calcining to 60% Fe) of Indicated and Inferred ore-resources above a 50%Fe cut-off that are compliant with JORC2012 in two sub-horizontal sheets of mineralisation (Figure 5; Tables 1 to 4; CZR releases to ASX: 8 February 2016, 26 April 2017).
The combined ore-resource includes a higher grade surface interval on the Robe Mesa which reports an Indicated and Inferred ore-resource compliant to JORC2012 of 24.7Mt @ 56% Fe (calcining to 62.7% Fe . The strategic review established a rate of mining, haulage, shipping and product marketing solutions that provide options for more detailed analysis in a prefeasibility study.

Feca is the calcined iron-content calculated as (Fe%/(100-LOI%))*100 and represents the amount iron after the volatiles (mainly held as weakly bound water in the structure of the hydrous iron-rich minerals) is excluded from the analysis.
The strategic review concluded that hauling the Robe Mesa iron-ore to the existing public owned port facilities in Port Hedland was achievable. However, the review also highlighted that a range of other port options in closer proximity to the Robe Mesa deposits are likely to be available between Onslow and Dampier over the next 2 to 3 years, all of which present closer and potentially more profitable port options within a 150km radius of Robe Mesa (Figure 2).
The strategic review then proposed that a prefeasibility study (PFS) should assess the viability of a direct shipping ore (DSO) mining operation from the higher grade 24.7 million tonnes of surface interval on the Robe Mesa at a rate of 1.5 to 2.5 million tonnes per annum, with initial trucking of ore approximately 400 kilometres to Port Hedland (CZR release to ASX; 8 September 2020).
The key components of the PFS study included:
-
Operating Costs and Capital Costs (Port Hedland export basis).
-
Mine Planning – including mine layout, mine design, production rate, mine schedule with a target of defining a maiden ore-reserve.
-
Logistics – Haulage and Port.
-
Ore characterisation and market price analysis.
-
Approvals – including heritage, flora and fauna.
-
Development path and timeline.
During the early stage of the study, the strong outlook for the Robe Mesa was confirmed by the Company’s discussions with leading Asian steel mills and trading houses regarding the acceptability of the product and likely pricing points based on an indicative ore-specification (CZR release to ASX: 21 October 2020). These discussions involved potential customers are active buyers of ~56% Fe products from Australia which comprises approximately 10% of the present Australian export volume. The customer feedback revealed a strong demand in the market for lower-grade ore with the product discount applicable to the market-leading 56% Fe ore being at its lowest level since 2016. These discount rates, which are derived from the price for benchmark 62% Fe ore, mean that 56% Fe product similar to that which would be produced at Robe Mesa, was selling for more than US$100 DMT on a CFR basis against a modelled price for the PFS of US$90/tonne.
The PFS on the Robe Mesa deposit then concluded that it is set to be technically robust and is likely to generate strong financial return based on an annual production rate of two million tonnes of DSO from a maiden JORC2012 Probable Ore Reserve of 8.2Mt at 56 % Fe ( Table 5 ; Figure 5 ; CZR release to ASX; 10 December 2020).
Table 5 . Robe Mesa JORC2012 ore-reserve reported above a cut-off grade of 55% Fe (CZR release to ASX; 10 December - 2020) with the proposed pit outlines to recover the ore reserve shown on Figure 5.

Note 1: CZR confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the CZR announcements to the ASX on 8 February 2016, 26 April 2017 and 10 December 2020 and, in the case of estimates of the mineral resources in Tables 1 to 4 and the ore reserves in Table 5, that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the relevant market announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed.

Figure 5. Outlines of the proposed pits on the Robe Mesa from the PFS to mine the ore-reserve from ore-resource.
The PFS estimated an average C1 operating cost of A$64.78 per dry metric tonne over the +5 year life of the project. This underpins a payback period of just 19 months using an assumed benchmark iron price of US$90/dmt and an assumed Australian dollar exchange rate of US70c ( Tables 6 and 7 ). As at 11[th] of March 2021 the benchmark iron ore price is trading at US$169/dmt.
The strong foundations highlighted for the Robe Mesa project by the PFS include:
-
A saleable product specification with existing product reference points that are well established in the market (Rio Tinto Robe Fines, FMG SSF). This style of product comprises approximately 10% of the present Australian export volume for iron ore.
-
Robe Mesa is close to existing infrastructure and major regional hubs, and therefore well supported for access and the logistics of running an operation ( Figure 2 ).
-
Whilst the PFS utilises Utah Point in Port Hedland for exports, closer port options (within 100km of Robe Mesa, Figure 2 ) along the coast between Onslow and Dampier may present significant opportunity to reduce the haulage distance to port.
-
The terrain is favourable making access to the Mesa for mining and the construction of infrastructure relatively straightforward.
-
A simple, low strip ratio mining operation, with the PFS making use of a single excavator and four dump trucks for the primary mining fleet, operating day shift only.
-
All mining is above water table.

2Cashflow modelling and Project Payback period uses operating cost estimates inflated 1.25% annually over the life of the project.
In Iight of the strong findings, CZR determined that it would progress with further work to complete a Definitive Feasibility Study and commence the studies to acquire approvals for mining on Robe Mesa.
The PFS also highlighted the main areas that could improve the financial returns from the mining operation, increase the ore-resources and ore-reserves which will become part of the 2021 exploration programmes, and investigate increasing the production from 2Mt to 3Mt/annum to improve the equipment utilisation, reduce the capital component by finding the optimum location and a strategic development plan for the haul-road to the highway and identify a practical solution to reduce the haulage distance and cost by identifying a new port location.
In the later part of the PFS study, CZR was approached by the operators of the Onslow Marine Support Base (OMSB) at Onslow which is a privately owned multi-user facility, with the Western Australian Department of Transport as the controlling authority. The OMSB Facility has hard-stand areas in excess of 250,000sqm ready for use, an inner and outer harbour, wharf with heavy lift facilities and channel to deeper water ( Figure 6 ). It supports on-shore to off-shore activities for the petroleum industries in the Carnarvon Basin and has advised they are expanding into the handling of bulk commodities.
The channel and the OMSB Facility can currently accommodate a transhipping operation for the loading of ironore onto barges or self-propelled barges (up to 100 metres in length), before sailing to a suitable transhipment anchorage.
The channel and the OMSB Facility have the potential to accommodate the berthing of vessels for direct ship loading. The direct loading of Handymax or larger vessels requires further modelling and will require further dredging and channel widening.
CZR signed a non-binding MOU with OMSB to allow the company to investigate the potential logistical and financial benefits of utilising a second port that is significantly closer to the Robe Mesa deposit (CZR release to ASX: 31 December 2020). The OMSB Facility is located approximately 180 kilometres by road from Robe Mesa,

and as such represents a 60% reduction in haul distance to that which was assumed in the PFS for export through Utah Point ( Figure 2 ).
The MOU will investigate the receival of product and product handling and storage on the landside facility, along with the loading of vessels via transhipping versus direct ship loading of vessels berthed at the facility.
Transhipment of bulk materials has been successfully deployed at numerous ports, both in Australia and overseas. CZR and OMSB will work together to understand the economics, technical, environmental and community considerations such that an optimal solution can be identified for all stakeholders.

Ashburton magnetite prospect - Exploration
The volcanic-hosted magnetite mineralisation from the Ashburton prospect at Yarraloola reports mass recoveries of magnetite from Davis tube on RC chips and diamond-core up to 42%, at a P80-grainsize of 22 microns with Fe greater than 67% and SiO2 less than 5% (ASX Release: 28 April 2016, 3 August 2016, 1 June 2017).

In late 2020, CZR sampled intercepts with magnetic susceptibility greater than 10,000 SI units for Davis Tube processing from 10 stored RC holes and generated a total of 252 predominantly 5 m interval samples (Figure 7; ASX Release 10 October 2019). The maximum downhole intercepts were from holes in Spinifex Hill with YAR223 containing 121 m @ 26.4% Fe between 64 and 121 m and YAR 227 intersecting 137 m @ 28.3% Fe between 44 and 181 m (ASX Release: 1 June 2017). The compilation of all available samples from surface to the maximum depth of drilling delivers an un-optimised overall 24% mass yield of magnetite with a composition of Fe @ 65% and SiO2 @ 7.48% but very low concentrations of Al2O3 @ 0.39%, P @ 0.02%, S @ 0.1%, TiO2 @ 0.05%. However, a more commercially significant review of results is underway with a separation of weathered samples from fresh rock and a comparison with steel-making feed-stock materials.

Croydon Gold Project
CZR hold a 70% interest in the 320 square kilometres Croydon project (E47/2150) is located in the Mallina Basin region between Karratha and Port Hedland. In the period since the Hemi gold discovery was announced, the area has been re-assessed as a region with the potential to deliver large-scale scale deposits ( Figure 8 ; DEG releases to ASX; 6 February 2020 and subsequent announcements).

Figure 8. Location of the CZR prospects on the Croydon Project, gold deposits and the emerging Hemi gold-discovery along the south-easterly trend of the regional shear-zone.
Croydon covers approximately 40 kilometres of the key regional structures about 50 kilometres south-west of Hemi with the geology underlying the eastern portion of the tenement dominated by a granite-greenstone terrain and the western portion characterised by sedimentary rocks of the Mallina Basin ( Figure 9 ). CZR is focussed on the discovery of lode-style and intrusion-related gold deposits which are the major source of production in Western Australia. The project has a database of historical exploration and this has been increased by the acquisition of high-resolution magnetic and radiometric coverage, re-assay of selected auger pulps to verify and increase geochemical coverage, extending soil sampling to cover more prospective target areas and RC and diamond drilling has commenced (ASX Releases: 10 October 2018 and 6 December 2018; 1 April 2019).

Yarrie Iron-Ore Project
The Yarrie Project consists of six granted exploration licences (E45/3725, E45/3728, E45/4065, E45/4433, E45/4604, and E45/4605) that cover a total of 419 square kilometres, about 160 kilometres east of Port Hedland. Yarrie is serviced by bitumen and gravel roads and a natural gas pipeline between Pt Hedland and the Telfer copper-gold mine. The BHP-owned rail connection between the Yarrie mining area and Port Hedland also services this area.
The Yarrie tenements have two prospects reporting historical drill-intercepts of high-grade (+62% Fe) iron-ore from the Nimingarra Iron Formation. There is also the potential for gold and base-metals on the tenements. No fieldwork has been undertaken at Yarrie for the past 6 months but the focus of the next programme of exploration will be RC drilling programmes at the Cabbage Tree and Kennedy Gap prospects ( Figure 14 ).

Buddadoo Gold Project
The Buddadoo Project (E59/1350 and E59/2349) with a surface area of 303 square kilometres, covers part of the Gullewa Greenstone Belt, about 200 kilometres east of Geraldton Port and 60 kilometres from a rail siding at Morawa and is accessible by bitumen-road. The Gullewa Greenstone belt is located within the Youanmi terrain of the Yilgarn and this region hosts large gold deposits near Mt Magnet, Cue and Meekatharra and the Deflector Gold Mine, owned by Silver Lake Resources, is approximately 5 kilometres from the western boundary of the tenement ( Figure 15 ).
CZR initially investigated part of a 6 kilometre long and 300 metre wide gabbro within the greenstone belt that contains bands of coarse-grained, massive and disseminated, vanadiferous titanomagnetite as a potential source of iron-ore for vanadium (CZR releases to ASX; 29 July 2013, 17 October 2017 and 21 November 2018). At a P80 grind-size of -45 microns the concentrate report Fe from 66-68%, V2O5 from 0.8 to 1.86%, TiO2 from 1.4 to 5.7%, and SiO2 and Al2O3 are less than 1% and is a potential feedstock for the direct smelting of

vanadiferous steel from iron-ore pellets (CZR releases to ASX; 28 February 2018, 21 March 2018, 5 April 2018 and 7 February 2019).
More recently, CZR has focussed on the gold potential of Buddadoo because the tenement covers approximately 25 kilometres of the regional-scale Salt Creek shear zone and up to a 10 kilometre wide area of greenstone belt that is under-explored using modern technology.

In the latter part of 2020, CZR completed a programme of surface exploration that was focussed on five independently generated targets for gold mineralisation within the Gullewa greenstone belt. During a programme of mapping, the field teams collected an additional 1,688 soil and 176 rock-chip samples from the key prospect areas ( Figure 16 ). All the samples have been submitted to Bureau Veritas for gold by fire assay, major-oxides by XRF on a fused disk and trace-elements by laser ablation ICPMS on fused disk.

Competent Persons Statement
The information in this report that relates to ore reserves, mineral resources and exploration results is based on information compiled by Rob Ramsay BScHons, MSc PhD, Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists. Rob Ramsay is a full-time Consultant Geologist for CZR and has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. Rob Ramsay has given his consent to the inclusion in this report of the matters based on the information in the form and context in which it appears.
Cautionary Statements
There are some historical exploration results included that have not been collected and reported in accordance with the JORC Code 2012 and the Competent Person has not done sufficient work to disclose the exploration results in accordance with JORC Code 2012. However, there is nothing that has come to the attention of the acquirer that causes it to question the accuracy or reliability of the former owner’s Exploration Results but the acquirer has not independently validated the former owners Exploration Results and therefore is not to be regarded as reporting, adopting or endorsing those results. The announcement is not otherwise misleading.
CZR confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the CZR announcements to the ASX on 8 February 2016, 26 April 2017 and 10 December 2020 and, in the case of estimates of the mineral resources in Tables A1 to A4 and the ore reserves in Table A5, that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the relevant market announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed.
CZR believes it has a reasonable basis for making the forward looking statements in this Announcement, including with respect to any production targets and economic evaluation, based on the information contained in CZR's ASX announcement entitled “Pre-Feasibility Study finds Robe Mesa iron ore project is technically robust with potential to generate strong financial returns” dated 10 December 2020. CZR confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the production targets contained in the previous announcement of the PFS and all material assumptions underpinning the production targets in the previous market announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNT POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial report are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to the period presented, unless otherwise stated.
Basis of Preparation
The half-year consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 , Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting , Australian Accounting Interpretations and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board.
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 CZR Resources Ltd and its controlled entities during the half-year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001 .
The 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 a full understanding of the financial performance, financial position and cash flows of the Group as in the full financial report.
The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the half-year financial statements are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the Group’s annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2020 except for the impact (if any) of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations effective 1 July 2020 as discussed below.
It has been determined by the Group that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change is necessary to Group accounting policies.
Accounting Standards Issued
In the half-year ended 31 December 2020, the Group has reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2020.
It has been determined by the Group that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of any new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change is necessary to the Group’s accounting policies as set out in the Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2020.
Reporting basis and conventions
The half-year statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied.

CZR RESOURCES LTD & CONTROLLED ENTITIES
FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Going Concern
The Group has incurred a net loss after tax for the half year ended 31 December 2020 of $2,271,544 (2019: $1,841,733) and experienced net cash outflows from operating activities of $2,683,070 (2019: $2,137,413). At 31 December 2020, the Group had current assets of $3,111,605 (30 June 2020: $4,846,710).
The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) is ongoing. During the period the imposition of internal state borders and health related obligations reduced the availability of flights and restricted access to the projects areas. Social distancing requirements also reduced the number of people that could travel by road and be accommodated onsite. In addition, the closure of remote area communities impacted the ability to obtain heritage clearance for ground disturbing activities.
The situation is rapidly developing and is dependent on measures imposed by the Australian Government and other countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided.
The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is dependent on securing additional funding through debt or equity issues or partial sale of its mineral properties as and when the need to raise working capital arises, to continue to fund its operational activities.
These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast a significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
Management believe there are sufficient funds to meet the Group’s working capital requirements as at the date of this report. Subsequent to period end the Group expects to receive additional funds through debt or equity issues.
The financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Group is a going concern, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity, realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business for the following reasons:
-
The Group has a proven history of successfully raising capital.
-
The Directors believe that there is sufficient cash available for the Group to continue operating until it can raise sufficient further capital to fund its ongoing activities.
-
The fact that future exploration and evaluation expenditures are generally discretionary in nature and may be slowed or suspended as part of the management of the Group's working capital and other forecast commitments.
Should the Group not be able to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the financial statements and that the financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT
To the members of CZR Resources Limited
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
Conclusion
We have reviewed the half-year financial report of CZR Resources Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the halfyear then ended, a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, 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 accompanying half-year financial report of the Group does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
(i) Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and of its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
(ii) 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 (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to the 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 the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.
Material uncertainty relating to going concern
We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report which describes the events and/or conditions which give rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the Group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.
BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd ABN 79 112 284 787 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO Australia Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee.

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.

Responsibility of the directors for the financial report
The directors of the company 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 internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that 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 Company’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and its performance for the half-year 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.
