CHAIRMAN’S REVIEW
Dear Shareholder
On behalf of the Board of Dalaroo Metals Ltd (“Dalaroo” or the “Company”), I am pleased to present the Annual Report for the financial year ending 30 June 2024.
Our maiden aircore drilling program at the Goodbody West prospect has discovered a gold system underneath high-grade gold-bearing outcropping quartz veins within a gold soil geochemical anomaly at Goodbody extending over a strike length of 6km at the Company’s Lyons River Project in the Gascoyne Province of Western Australia. This first pass drilling shows that the gold mineralisation at Goodbody West remains open along strike and at depth. Drilling has outlined gold mineralisation over a strike length of least 200m with encouraging grades of 5m @ 0.85g/t from 9m including 1m @ 1.83g/t from 9m and 2m @ 1.23g/t from 12m in the oxide zone.
I am also pleased to announce that subsequently Dalaroo’s application for exploration funding in Round 29 of the Western Australian Government’s Exploration Incentive Scheme (“EIS”) was successful. Dalaroo’s $100,000 EIS grant will be used to co-fund 50% of the direct diamond drilling cost to test its new gold system discovery at Goodbody West. Diamond drilling to be undertaken at Goodbody pursuant to this grant will greatly enhance our geological knowledge of the structural features controlling gold mineralization.
During the year Dalaroo completed a deep diamond drilling program at its Browns prospect, Lyons River Project. Four deep diamond core holes have tested a highly prospective and a very compelling Pb-Zn-Ag base metal target covering an area of 3km X 2km associated with extensive iron-rich and high-grade gossanous material at surface with results of up to 39.6% Pb, up to 0.71% Zn and up to 82g/t Ag. At Browns, significant Pb-Zn sulphide intercepts of 10m @ 1.04% Pb, 0.49% Zn, 2.85g/t Ag from 37m including 1m @ 3.13% Pb, 0.24% Zn, 5g/t Ag from 38m and 63m @ 1.76g/t Ag from 16m were returned from Dalaroo’s shallow AC drilling in completed 2022. The diamond drill program was partly funded by the EIS with a grant for an amount of $180,000. Dalaroo believes the district is an emerging Broken Hill Type (“BHT”) / Sedimentary Exhalative (“SEDEX”) deposit setting. The Browns prospect is one of six Pb-Zn soil geochemical prospects identified at Lyons River within a Proterozoic Age basin setting covering an area of 30km by 10km.
High grade copper assay results of 54.8% coupled with silver grades of 80g/t were returned from rock chip sampling program completed during the year over the south-western part of the Browns prospect. Copper assays of 1.64% accompanied by silver assays of 21.5g/t have previously been recorded from rock chip sampling completed at the Four Corners prospect located 5km to the west of Browns. This highlights possible potential for copper within the Lyons River Project.
In December 2023, Dalaroo executed a Sale Agreement with Delta Lithium Limited (ASX: DLI) to sell the rights to lithium, caesium and tantalum minerals (Lithium Minerals) at its Lyons River Project (Lithium Mineral Rights).
The consideration of $1,000,000 for the transaction comprised $500,000 in cash and $500,000 of DLI ordinary shares. In addition to the consideration, Delta Lithium must expend a minimum of 50% of the annual statutory expenditure requirements on the Lyons River Project tenements (a commitment of $280,000 per annum at the date of the Sale Agreement) for a period of 3 years from Completion
Our disciplined and methodical approach to exploration using the latest techniques during the year continues delineate a number of exciting prospects that are worthy of next phase of drilling and we look forward to actively pursuing our exploration programs in these areas in the year ahead.
In closing I would like to thank all our shareholders, employees and contractors for your continued support of Dalaroo throughout the year.
Yours sincerely

Air-core drilling
Aircore (AC) drilling was undertaken at the Goodbody West prospect in March Quarter 2024 to test the down-dip extension of surface mineralisation defined through geological mapping and surface sampling completed in 2023. Exploration work by Dalaroo has identified outcropping, WNW-trending mineralised quartz veins (up to 6.25g/t Au) over 200m strike, hosted within a metasedimentary rock package comprising pelitic schist, chert, ironstone, and BIF (refer DAL ASX Announcement from 28 November 2022). Veins at surface are typically developed parallel to foliation and locally contain ferruginous oxide phases.
A program of 19 AC holes (867m) was completed on five north-south traverses covering 300m strike, to a maximum vertical depth of 42m (Figure 5) (refer DAL ASX Announcement from 16 April 2024).
Significant (> 0.1g/t Au) results from the program included:
-
LRAC047 : 5m @ 0.85g/t Au from 9m, including 1m @ 1.83g/t from 9m
-
LRAC048 : 21m @ 0.21g/t Au from 24m, including 1m @ 0.55g/t Au from 26m
-
LRAC049 : 1m @ 0.98g/t Au from 3m
-
LRAC051 : 7m @ 0.36g/t Au from 17m, including 1m @ 1.17g/t Au from 19m
-
LRAC052 : 19m @ 0.23g/t Au from 24m

Figure 5: Goodbody West gold prospect and interpreted regional structures. Overlaid on aerial photography. In this figure white text refers to rock chip assay values and black text refers to soil assays values.
Drilling in the eastern part of the Goodbody West prospect, below the main area of outcropping gold mineralisation, intercepted several zones of sub-parallel, moderately north-dipping quartz veins, within a sequence of pelitic schist and lesser interbedded psammitic rocks. Veins are commonly emplaced within or adjacent to high-strain zones and are encouragingly associated with broad widths of silica-sericite (+/hematite-carbonate) alteration. Veins contain variable quantities of ironstone and gossanous sulphide. Primary sulphides are not preserved at the shallow drilled depths.
Higher gold grades, up to 1.83g/t (drill-hole LRAC047) are typically associated with sulphide-bearing quartz veins. However, broad widths of anomalous mineralisation (e.g. 21m @ 0.21g/t Au in drill-hole LRAC048) may also integrate alteration zones adjacent to vein sets (Figure 6). Significant Arsenic (As) anomalism, up to 1420ppm is also associated with gold mineralisation (refer DAL ASX Announcement from 16 April 2024).
Turbo Well gold
A new gold prospect has been defined at Turbo Well with gold-in-soil anomalism extending over a strike length of 2km, adjacent to a regional ESE structural trend (Figure 7). A peak value of 47ppb Au is defined from results of both historical soil sampling and follow-up sampling by Dalaroo during 2023 (refer DAL ASX Announcements from 9 November 2023).

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Browns Pb-Zn-Ag
Emerging Broken Hill Type (“BHT”) /Sedimentary Exhalative (“SEDEX”) Deposit Setting
Dalaroo has completed a deep diamond drilling program at its Browns prospect, Lyons River Project. The diamond drill program was partly funded by the Exploration Incentive Scheme sponsored by the Government of Western Australia with a grant for an amount of up to $180,000.
Dalaroo believes the district is an emerging Broken Hill Type (“BHT”) / Sedimentary Exhalative (“SEDEX”) deposit setting. The Browns prospect is one of six Pb-Zn soil geochemical prospects identified at Lyons River within a Proterozoic Age basin setting covering an area of 30km by 10km (Figure 8).
==> picture [465 x 302] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 8: Lyons River Project, Browns prospect and other five Pb-Zn soil geochemical prospects /targets over greyscale 1 Vertical Derivative Aeromagnetics image.
AC drilling completed during 2022 has highlighted the prospectivity for discovery of a significant BHTSEDEX-style deposit at Browns prospect. Evidence that Pb-Zn-Ag mineralizing fluids have circulated at the basin-wide scale five kilometres east from the already drilled Four Corners Prospect strongly supports this theory. This leads Dalaroo to the conclusion there may be multiple base metal deposits to be defined at the Lyons River Project.
Four deep diamond core holes have tested a highly prospective and a very compelling Pb-Zn-Ag base metal target covering an area of 3km X 2km. Diamond drilling and analysis of core samples will:
- Highlight the geological transition to more pyritic and phyllosilicate-rich units identified at the southern limits of the tested area (from 80m depth in LRAC021). This is interpreted to represent a transition in the pre-metamorphic protolith stratigraphy to lower energy sedimentary units, considered more prospective for base metal deposits. The current diamond drilling will investigate and test southwards into this domain, which also coincides with the “trough” structure epicentre

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
(refer DAL ASX Announcement from 14 February 2023). This was identified from detailed gravity survey plus airborne magnetics geophysical data (Figure 9).
- Confirm the presence of economic Pb-Zn-Ag mineralisation at the Browns Prospect at Lyons River in the Gascoyne Province.
Browns Pb-Zn-Ag Prospectivity and Potential
The Browns Prospect represents the second site of Pb-Zn-Ag intersections discovered by bedrock drilling in the Mutherbukin Zone, 5km east of Dalaroo’s Four Corners Pb-Zn-Ag prospect. Two phases of AC drill programs by Dalaroo at the Browns Prospect have tested a very compelling broad Pb-Zn soil and rock chip geochemical anomaly (max 1445ppm Pb, 1080 Zn ppm) covering an area of 3km X 2km, associated with extensive iron-rich and high-grade gossanous material at surface with results of up to 39.6% Pb, up to 0.71% Zn and up to 82g/t Ag.
Detailed gravity work has complemented historical surveys by BHP and show a coincident gravity low suggesting an area of possible deepening basin development. An interpreted sub-basin fold or trough structure at Browns may represent a deeper portion of the paleo-basin architecture and a favourable environment for the formation of prospective host stratigraphy (Figure 9).
Dalaroo’s AC drill programs at Browns have been successful in intersecting zones of interbedded psammitic to pelitic lithologies together with multiple zones of disseminated base metal sulphides such as galena and sphalerite. More than 800m of strike length lead-zinc mineralisation has been outlined at Browns which remains open in all directions. Ag intercepts are coincident with Pb and Zn assays and further support the presence of BHT/SEDEX-style of mineralisation (Figure 9).
AC drilling programs have intersected thick zones of variably-pyritic, biotite-quartz gneiss, likely representing metamorphosed shales, and found to be enriched in silver, returning 63m @ 1.76g/t Ag from 16m and 16m @ 1.43g/t Ag from 68m and has outlined the footprint of the Pb-Zn-Ag mineralized system at Browns to approximately 400m in thickness at its central portion. Significant Pb-Zn sulphide intercepts of 10m @ 1.04% Pb, 0.49% Zn, 2.85g/t Ag from 37m (LRAC010) Including 1m @ 3.13% Pb, 0.24% Zn, 5g/t Ag from 38m and 63m @ 1.76g/t Ag from 16m adds weight to this thesis .
Copper potential
High grade copper assay results of 54.8% coupled with silver grades of 80g/t have been returned from rock chip sampling program over the south-western part of the 3.5km X 2km Browns base metal prospect (Figures 10 and photo 1). Gossanous outcrops sampled to the east of the AC drilled area have returned lead (Pb) values of up to 0.53% complemented by anomalous zinc (1140ppm) and copper (420ppm) (Refer DAL ASX Announcements from 31 October 2023).
Copper assays of 1.64% accompanied by silver assays of 21.5g/t have also been recorded from rock chip sampling (photo 2) previously completed at the Four Corners prospect located 5km to the west of Browns (Refer DAL ASX Announcements from 16 March 2022).
Previous historical shallow RC drill program in 2008 at Four Corners returned an intersection of 3m @ 0.50% Cu including 1m @ 0.92% Cu from 56m, with mineralisation associated chalcopyrite (Figure 10) (Refer DAL ASX Announcements from 16 March 2022).

Rare Earths
Two significant rare earth (REE) anomalies have been outlined at the View Hill and 32 Mile Well prospects. The REE anomalism with a peak value of 1,043ppm TREO has a strike length of 2.2km, average width of 500m and coincides with a large NW trending thorium high identified in detailed radiometric imagery data flown by the Company. The second REE anomaly with a peak value of 2,025 ppm TREO has a current strike length of over 3km and an average width of 300m (Figure 11) (Refer DAL ASX Announcement dated 4 April 2023).
Importantly both REE anomalies lie adjacent to a major NE-trending structure, compatible with relationships seen at Kingfisher Mining’s Mick Well REE discovery. The anomalies have no recorded drilling and could therefore represent either potential hard rock or near surface clay hosted mineralisation drill targets.
Lithium
Dalaroo executed a binding agreement ( Sale Agreement ) with Delta Lithium Limited ( ASX: DLI or Delta Lithium ) to sell the rights to lithium, caesium and tantalum minerals ( Lithium Minerals ) at its Lyons River Project ( Lithium Mineral Rights ). The consideration of $1,000,000 for the transaction comprised $500,000 in cash and $500,000 of DLI ordinary shares. In addition to the consideration, Delta Lithium must expend a minimum of 50% of the annual statutory expenditure requirements on the Lyons River Project tenements (a commitment of $280,000 per annum at the date of the Sale Agreement) for a period of 3 years from Completion. The Company will still retain ownership of the Lyons River Project tenure and hold rights to all other metals and minerals apart from the Lithium Minerals (Refer ASX announcement dated 1 December 2023).

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
During the year structural mapping within the Lyons River Project identified several major shear zones, each over 30km long and 6km wide, that formed during the Neoproterozoic Edmundian Orogeny. This orogeny was the fundamental driver of deformation along the nearby Ti Tree Shear Zone, and it was responsible for the emplacement of spodumene pegmatites in the Yinnetharra District, which are now the focus of Delta Lithium’s resource drilling activity. Pegmatites emplaced during the Edmundian Orogeny are associated with granite intrusions of the Thirty Three Supersuite (TTS) and recent mapping has confirmed that intrusive rocks of the TTS were also emplaced within shear zones at the Lyons River Project (Figure 12). The TTS intrusions comprise granite stocks and granitic pegmatite (microcline-quartz-muscovitetourmaline – photo 3).

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
A follow-up/infill soil geochemical survey was completed on a 200m X 100m pattern (first pass sampling was completed on lines 1km X 100m) at the View Hill prospect. A total of 813 soil samples were collected. One of the lithium targets (3km long and 0.5km) had a peak value of 334 ppm Li2O and is comparable to lithium anomalism obtained by Dalaroo’s neighbours (Refer MI6 ASX Announcement dated 25 July 2023 and 10 October 2023). Importantly, the lithium targets lie within the large pegmatite cluster measuring 9km X 6km in the eastern part of the project, where pegmatites up to 100m wide and 3km long have been mapped. The significant lithium anomalism outlined to date remains open to the south, west and east (Figures 13 and 14).

Next Steps at Lyons River
Goodbody – gold target
Dalaroo’s application for exploration funding in Round 29 of the Western Australian Government’s Exploration Incentive Scheme (“EIS”) was successful. The $100,000 EIS grant awarded to Dalaroo will be used to co-fund 50% of the direct diamond drilling cost to test its new gold system discovery at the Goodbody West prospect.
Four diamond drill holes for an aggregate 700m are planned. The identification of sulphide-bearing quartz veins, in association with wide silica-sericite alteration haloes and strong Au-As anomalism from the current shallow levels of drilling are considered indicative of a significant hydrothermal system. Mineralisation remains open at depth and to the east and requires deeper drilling to assess the potential for structurally controlled high-grade zones. It is noted that surface anomalism at Goodbody West coincides with the intersection of WNW and NNE-trending structures (refer DAL ASX Announcement from 8 November 2023).
[19]
DALAROO METALS LTD ACN 648 476 699
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Such intersection zones represent potential sites of intensified deformation and hydrothermal fluid movement and will be a priority for deeper drill targeting using the EIS co-funded diamond drilling at Goodbody West.

Namban Project
Manning Ni-Cu-PGE Prospectivity and Potential
The Manning prospect is located 150km north of Perth and 90km north of Chalice Mining’s world class Julimar Ni-Cu-PGE Project (Figures 16). The drilling program was designed to test large Ni-Cu-PGE*+Au geochemical anomalies (Pd soil anomaly with a peak value of 28 ppb coincident with Cu peak value of 605 ppm and Ni peak value of 206 ppm) covering an area of 2km X 0.5km that are coincident with Induced Polarisation (IP) anomalies with high chargeability values of up to 40 mV/V.
The diamond drill program was partly funded by Dalaroo’s successful application in Round 26 of the Exploration Incentive Scheme sponsored by the Government of Western Australia. The grant was for an amount of up to $175,000, structured as a contribution towards 50% of direct drilling cost.
Diamond drilling programme of four holes (MNDD001 to MNDD004) totalling 828.9m was completed at the Manning Prospect (Figure 15). The holes ranged in depth from 178.1m to 267.4m (Table 1).

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Host lithologies are interpreted as differentiated intrusive mafic rocks (gabbroic dolerites) believed to be part of a larger (dismembered) intrusive mafic sill complex within a sequence of high-grade metamorphic rocks (gneisses/granulites) that remains prospective for magmatic intrusion hosted Ni-Cu-PGE-Au mineralisation at Namban. Two orientations of chlorite-sulphide veinlets/fractures trending subvertical north-west and north north-west were logged in the holes. A steep NW plunge is inferred from the intersection of the vein sets. The sulphide intersections comprising chalcopyrite-pyrite+/- pyrrhotite rich zones in MNDD004. Pyrite-carbonate alteration was noted in fractured felsic dykes that are NNW trending and are coincident with the regional copper and gold trend around the margins of the interpreted JulimarMt Yule Gravity corridor depicted in Figure 16.

Next Steps at Namban
Given the significant size of the surface geochemical anomalism (Ni-Cu-PGE*+Au) outlined (measuring 2km X 0.5km) at the Manning prospect and only four holes drilled using Dalaroo’s successful grant under the EIS $175,000, further exploration work is warranted. Future work at the Manning Prospect proposed to include ground gravity surveys, which are expected to complement and expand upon the existing geochemical and geophysical datasets which have helped to delineate encouraging sulphide copper and gold mineralisation.
Gravity surveys will provide additional insight through mapping the local density variation and potentially define deep seated intrusions or sources to the base metal mineralisation and differentiate prospective mafic and gabbroic units from the more recent Proterozoic dolerite dykes which trend through the project and provide targets for potential follow up drill programs.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Company is subject to risks that are specific to the Company and the Company’s business activities, as well as general risks.
Future funding risks
Whilst the Company has a cash and cash equivalents balance of $409,236 and net assets of $779,301 and is able to continue on a going concern basis, there is risk that the Company may require substantial additional financing in the future to sufficiently fund potential exploration and development resource acquisition, general working capital and any other longer-term objectives. The Company has the ability to control the level of its current operations and hence the level of its expenditure over the next 12 months. Management is confident that they can reduce the level of expenditure in order to retain appropriate cash balances. Management remains very diligent in their ongoing monitoring of cash balances day by day. The Company’s ability to raise additional funds will be subject to, among other things, factors beyond the control of the Company and its Directors, including cyclical factors affecting the economy and share markets generally. If for any reason the Company was unable to raise future funds when required, its operations could be significantly affected.
The Directors regularly review the spending pattern and ability to raise additional funding to ensure the Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash inflows to settle its creditors and other liabilities.
Taxation risks
Changes in tax law, or changes in the way tax laws are interpreted may impact the tax liabilities of the Company, Shareholder returns, or the tax treatment of a Shareholder’s investment. In particular, both the level and basis of taxation may change. Tax law is frequently being changed, both prospectively and retrospectively. Any actual or alleged failure to comply with, or any change in the application or interpretation of tax rules applied in respect of such transactions, may increase the Company’s tax liabilities. The Company utilises expert consultants in relation to taxation in order to determine appropriate taxation treatment.
IT system failure and cyber security risks
Any information technology system is potentially vulnerable to interruption and/or damage from a number of sources, including but not limited to computer viruses, cyber security attacks and other security breaches, power, systems, internet and data network failures, and natural disasters. The Company is committed to preventing and reducing cyber security risks through outsourced IT management to a reputable services provider.

Impact of COVID-19
The global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the advice and responses from health and regulatory authorities, is continuously evolving. The global economic outlook is facing uncertainty due to the COVID19 pandemic which has had and may continue to have a significant impact on capital markets and share prices. To date, COVID-19 has affected equity markets, governmental action, regulatory policy, quarantining, self-isolations and travel restrictions. These impacts are creating risks for the Company’s business and operations in the short to medium term. The Company has in place business continuity plans and procedures to help manage the key risks that may cause a disruption to the Company's business and operations, but their adequacy cannot be predicted. The Company's Directors are closely monitoring the situation and considering the impact on the Company’s business from both a financial and operational perspective. Argo Exploration

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
The maximum Non-Executive Directors fees, payable in aggregate are currently set at $300,000 per annum.
Executive Director and Other Key Management Personnel Remuneration
Executive remuneration consists of base salary, plus other performance incentives to ensure that:
-
Remuneration packages incorporate a balance between fixed and incentive pay, reflecting short and long term performance objectives appropriate to the Company’s circumstances and objectives; and
-
A proportion of remuneration is structured in a manner to link reward to corporate and individual performances.
The performance indicators framework is still to be finalised by the Board.
Executives are offered a competitive level of base salary at market rates (based on comparable ASX listed companies) and are reviewed regularly to ensure market competitiveness. To date the Company has not engaged external remuneration consultants to advise the Board on remuneration matters.
Incentive Plans
The Company plans to provide long term incentives to Directors and Employees pursuant to the Dalaroo Employee Securities Incentive Plan, which will be tabled for approval by shareholders.
The Board, acting in remuneration matters:
-
Ensures that incentive plans are designed around appropriate and realistic performance targets and provide rewards when those targets are achieved;
-
Reviews and approves existing incentive plans established for employees; and
-
Approves the administration of the incentive plans, including receiving recommendations for, and the consideration and approval of grants pursuant to such incentive plans.
Engagement of Non-Executive Directors
Non-Executive Directors conduct their duties under the following terms:
-
A Non-Executive Director may resign from his/her position and thus terminate their contract on written notice to the Company; and
-
A Non-Executive Director may, following resolution of the Company’s shareholders, be removed before the expiration of their year of office (if applicable). Payment is made in lieu of any notice year if termination is initiated by the Company, except where termination is initiated for serious misconduct.

Engagement of Executive Director
The Company has entered into an executive service agreement with Mr Harjinder Kehal on the following material terms and conditions:
[28]
DALAROO METALS LTD ACN 648 476 699
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Mr Kehal’s service agreement with the Company, in respect of his engagement as Managing Director, is effective for three years from 25 September 2021. Mr Kehal will receive a base salary of $250,000 per annum plus statutory superannuation per annum. Under the terms of the service agreement, if the Company terminates Mr Kehal’s employment, other than due to illness or Summary Termination, the Company is required to pay Mr Kehal six (6) months remuneration (less taxation) in full and final satisfaction of all claims against the Company.
The Managing Director may also receive an annual short term performance-based bonus which may be calculated as a percentage of his current base salary, the performance criteria, assessment and timing of which is negotiated annually with the Non-Executive Directors.
The Managing Director may, subject to shareholder approval, participate in the Dalaroo Employee Securities Incentive Plan and other long term incentive plans adopted by the Board.
Short Term Incentive Payments
Each year, the Non-Executive Directors will set the Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) for the Executive Director. The KPI’s are chosen to align the reward of the individual Executives to the strategy and performance of the Company.
Performance objectives, which may be financial or non-financial, or a combination of both, are weighted when calculating the maximum short-term incentives payable to Executives. At the end of the year, the Non-Executive Directors will assess the actual performance of the Executives against the set Performance Objectives. The maximum amount of the short-term Incentive, or a lesser amount depending on actual performance achieved will be paid to the Executives on a basis to be finalised by the Board.
No short-term incentives are payable to Executives where it is considered that the actual performance has fallen below the minimum requirement.
Shareholding Qualifications
The Directors are not required to hold any shares in Dalaroo under the terms of the Company’s constitution.
Company Performance
In considering the Company’s performance, the Board provides the following indices in respect of the current financial years and previous financial years:
| 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Loss for the year attributable to shareholders | $1,541,538 | $2,472,701 | $2,666,980 |
| Closing share price at 30 June | $0.020 | $0.080 | $0.087 |
As an exploration company the Board does not consider the profit/(loss) attributable to shareholders as one of the performance indicators when implementing Short Term Incentive Payments.
In addition to technical exploration success, the Board considers the effective management of safety, environmental and operational matters and the acquisition and consolidation of high-quality landholdings, as more appropriate indicators of management performance.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR END 30 JUNE 2024
Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial report are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied throughout the reporting year, unless otherwise stated.
(a) Basis of Preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').
These financial statements reflect Dalaroo Metals Ltd as an individual entity. They are prepared and presented in Australian Dollars which is the functional and presentation currency of the company.
Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, investment properties, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments.
(b) Mineral Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
Exploration and evaluation expenditure is expensed off as incurred, other than tenement acquisition costs which are initially capitalised. Costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development and exploitation of the area of interest, or by its sale or where exploration activities in the area are continuing and have not yet reached a stage, which permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves. Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.
When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves. A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest. Restoration, rehabilitation and environmental costs necessitated by exploration and evaluation activities are expensed as incurred and treated as exploration and evaluation expenditure.
(c) Operating segments
Operating segments are presented using the 'management approach', where the information presented is on the same basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM'). The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.
(d) Business Combinations / Asset Acquisitions
The Company applies the acquisition method when the assets acquired and liabilities assumed constitute a business. A business is an integrated set of activities and assets that is capable of being conducted and managed for the purpose of providing goods or services to customers, generating investment income or other income from ordinary activities. A business will generally consist of inputs and processes applied to those inputs. In a business combination all transaction costs are expensed.
If the assets acquired do not constitute a business, the Company accounts for the transaction as an asset acquisition, whereby the asset and liabilities are assigned carrying values based on their relative fair values in an asset purchase transaction. No deferred taxes will arise in relation to the acquired assets or liabilities assumed as a result of the application of the initial exemption for deferred tax under AASB 112. No goodwill arises on the acquisition. Transaction costs in relation to asset acquisitions are capitalized.

DALAROO METALS LTD ACN 648 476 699
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR END 30 JUNE 2024
(e) Lease Liabilities
A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the entity’s incremental borrowing rate.
Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the year in which they are incurred.
Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are remeasured if there is a change in the following future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use asset or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down.
(f) Right of Use Assets
A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset and restoring the site or asset.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis, over the unexpired year of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the entity expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.
The Company has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit or loss as incurred.
(g) Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight line and diminishing value methods to allocate their cost, net of residual values, over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
| Asset Class | Depreciation Rate |
|---|---|
| Plant and Equipment | 20-25% |
The asset’s residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposal are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the income statement.

DALAROO METALS LTD ACN 648 476 699
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR END 30 JUNE 2024
(h) Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the earnings attributable to equity holders of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.
(i) Financial Instruments
Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part of the initial measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Such assets are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on both the business model within which such assets are held and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset unless an accounting mismatch is being avoided.
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. When there is no reasonable expectation of recovering part or all of a financial asset, its carrying value is written off.
Impairment of financial assets
The entity recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets which are either measured at amortised cost or air value through other comprehensive income. The measurement of the loss allowance depends upon the entity’s assessment at the end of each reporting year as to whether the financial instruments credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, based on reasonable and supportable information that is available, without undue cost or effort to obtain. Where there has not been a significant increase in exposure to credit risk since initial recognition, a 12 month expected credit loss allowance is estimated. This represents a portion of the asset’s lifetime expected credit losses that is attributable to a default event that is possible within the next 12 months. Where a financial asset has become credit impaired or where it is determined that credit risk has increased significantly, the loss allowance is based on the asset’s lifetime expected credit losses. The amount of expected credit loss recognised is measured on the basis of the probability weighted present value of anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of the instrument discounted at the original effective interest rate.
For financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance is recognised within other comprehensive income. In all other cases, the loss allowance is recognised in profit loss.
(j) Impairment of non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.
For goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite lives or that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated each year at the same time.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing 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
42
DALAROO METALS LTD ACN 648 476 699
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR END 30 JUNE 2024
risks specific to the asset. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the “cash-generating unit”). Any goodwill acquired in a business combination, for the purpose of impairment testing, is allocated to cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior years are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
(k) Share Based Payments
For equity settled share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees (and those providing similar services), the Company measures the goods or services received, and the corresponding increase in equity, directly, at the fair value of the goods or services received, unless the fair value cannot be reliably estimated. If the Company cannot reliably estimate the fair value of the goods or services received, it measures their fair value, and the corresponding increase in equity, indirectly, by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted.
For transactions measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted, the Company measures the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the measurement date. For transactions with parties other than employees (and those providing similar services), the measurement date is the date that the Company obtains the goods or the counterparty renders the service.
(l) Issued Capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. 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.
(m) Income Tax
The income tax expense or benefit for the year is the tax payable on that year's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior years, where applicable.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for:
-
When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or
-
When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
43
DALAROO METALS LTD ACN 648 476 699
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR END 30 JUNE 2024
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.
(n) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short- term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts.
(o) Trade Receivables and Other Receivables
Trade receivables and other receivables, including distributions receivable, are recognised at the nominal transaction value without taking into account the time value of money.
(p) Trade Creditors and Other Payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the company prior to the end of the year and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
(q) Employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
Other long-term employee benefits
The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
Defined contribution superannuation expense
Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
(r) Government Grants
Government grants are recognised at fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all grant conditions will be met. Grants relating to expense items are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match the grant to the costs they are compensating. Grants relating to assets are deducted from the carrying value of the relevant asset.
(s) Goods and Services Tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST included 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 an item of the expense.
Receivables and payables in the balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR END 30 JUNE 2024
(t) Current and non-current classification
Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.
An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the Company’s normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting year; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting year. All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the Company’s normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting year; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting year. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.
(u) New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The Company has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting year.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. The Company has not yet assessed the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations.
(v) Comparative Information
Comparative financial information for the previous reporting period is presented for the Company for the full year 30 June 2023.
(w) Rounding
All amounts presented in the financial statements have been rounded to the nearest dollar.
(x) Going concern basis for preparation of financial statements
The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity, the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
For the year ended 30 June 2024 the Consolidated Entity incurred a loss of $1,541,538 (2023: $2,472,701) and net cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $1,962,418 (2023: $2,359,317). As at balance date the Entity had a working capital surplus of $2,574,430 (2023: $2,514,814) and minimum spend exploration commitments due within twelve months of $999,000.
On 23 August 2024, the Company successfully completed a two tranche capital raising. The first tranche on 1 July 2024 resulted in the issue of 12,412,500 ordinary shares at $0.016 to raise $198,600 (before costs). The second tranche which required the approval of shareholders at a General Meeting conducted on 19 August 2024 resulted in the issue of a further 153,212,500 ordinary shares at $0.016 each which raised $2,451,400 (before costs).
The directors have prepared a cash flow forecast, which indicates that the Consolidated Entity will have sufficient cash flows to meet all commitments and working capital requirements for the 12 month period from the date of signing this financial report.
45
DALAROO METALS LTD ACN 648 476 699
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR END 30 JUNE 2024
Based on the cash flow forecasts and other factors referred to above, the Directors are satisfied that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate. In particular, given the Consolidated Entity has the ability to defer discretionary expenditure in line with available funds.
Note 2 Financial Risk Management
The Company has exposure to a variety of risks arising from daily operations. This note presents information about the Company’s exposure to the specific risks, and the policies and processes for measuring and managing those risks. The Board of Directors has the overall responsibility for the risk management framework and has adopted a Risk Management Policy.
(a) Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from transactions with customers and investments.
Trade and Other Receivables
The current nature of the business activity of the Company does not result in trading receivables. Accordingly, the Company’s exposure to credit risk in relation to trade receivables is not material.
Cash Deposits
The Directors believe any risk associated with the use of predominantly only one bank is addressed through the use of at least an A-rated bank as a primary banker and by the holding of a portion of funds on deposit with alternative A-rated institutions. Except for this matter the Company currently has no significant concentrations of credit risk.
(b) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.
The Company manages its liquidity risk by monitoring its cash reserves and forecast spending. Management is cognisant of the future demands for liquid finance resources to finance the Company’s current and future operations, and consideration is given to the liquid assets available to the Company before commitment is made to future expenditure or investment.
(c) Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising any return.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company has cash assets which may be susceptible to fluctuations in changes in interest rates. Whilst the Company requires the cash assets to be sufficiently liquid to cover any planned or unforeseen future expenditure, which prevents the cash assets being committed to long term fixed interest arrangements, the Company does mitigate potential interest rate risk by entering into short to medium term fixed interest investments.
Foreign Exchange Risk
The Company does not have any direct contact with foreign exchange fluctuations other than their effect on the general economy.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR END 30 JUNE 2024
Note 3 Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of these 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 these amounts. 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 next financial year are discussed below.
Exploration and Evaluation
The future recoverability of capitalized exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent on a number of factors, including whether the Company decides to exploit areas of interest itself or, if not, whether it successfully recovers the related exploration and evaluation asset through sale. Factors that could impact future recoverability include the level of reserves and resources, future technological changes, future legal changes (including changes to environmental obligations), future changes to rights to tenure and changes to commodity prices. To the extent that capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is determined not to be recoverable in the future, this will impact profit and loss in the year in which this determination is made.
Lease term and the incremental borrowing rate
The lease term is a significant component in the measurement of both the right-of-use asset and lease liability. Judgement is exercised in determining whether there is reasonable certainty that an option to extend the lease or purchase the underlying asset will be exercised, or an option to terminate the lease will not be exercised, when ascertaining the periods to be included in the lease term. In determining the lease term, all facts and circumstances that create an economical incentive to exercise an extension option, or not to exercise a termination option, are considered at the lease commencement date.
Factors considered include the importance of the asset to the company’s operations; comparison of terms and conditions to prevailing market rates; incurrence of significant penalties; existence of significant leasehold improvements; and the costs and disruption to replace the asset. The company reassesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option, if there is a significant event or significant change in circumstances.
Employee benefits provision
As discussed in note 1, the liability for employee benefits expected to be settled more than 12 months from the reporting date are recognised and measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of all employees at the reporting date. In determining the present value of the liability, estimates of attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation have been taken into account.
Accounting for share based payments
The values of amounts recognised in respect of share-based payments have been estimated based on the fair value of the equity instruments granted. Fair values of options issued are estimated by using an appropriate option pricing model. There are many variables and assumptions used as inputs into the models. If any of these assumptions or estimates were to change this could have a significant effect on the amounts recognised. See note 16 for details of inputs into option pricing models in respect of options issued during the reporting period.
Note 4 Segment Information
The Company has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the board of directors in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. Reportable segments disclosed are based on aggregating operating segments, where the segments have similar characteristics. The Company’s sole activity is mineral exploration and resource development wholly within Australia, therefore it has aggregated all operating segments into the one reportable segment being mineral exploration.
The reportable segment is represented by the primary statements forming these financial statements.

A right of use asset has been recognised in respect of the Company’s lease of its office at Suite 1, 346 Barker Road, Subiaco, Western Australia. Refer to Note 11 for details of the corresponding lease liability arising from the abovementioned lease. The lease is for a term of three years commencing 1 July 2021.
Under the terms of the lease arrangement, the Company is required to pay a fixed monthly charge of $6,000 (excluding GST) for the office accommodation and $1,000 (excluding GST) for exclusive car bay usage.
Rent Review dates occur on 1 July of each year. The amounts payable following the Rent Review dates will be the greater of the fixed rental (immediately payable prior to the Rent Review dates) adjusted for CPI or the fixed rental (immediately payable prior to the Rent Review dates) increased by 3%.
The Company has not taken up the lease option to extend the lease term to 30 June 2027, therefore the right to use asset has been depreciated fully as at 30 June 2024.

-
Determined from the proposed grant date of the Performance Rights to the expiry date, being 30 November 30 November 2027.

Estimated based on Hoadley’s GARCH long-run forecast and Exponentially Weighted Moving Average volatility models using share price data over the historical period since the Company commenced trading on the ASX to 30 November 2022. The Independent Valuer sense checked this by analysing the 1-year, 2-year, 3-year and 5-year volatilities of comparable companies both in the nickel/base metal sector as well as the PGE sector separately and considered the volatility estimate used was not unreasonable for an approximate 3-year vesting period.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF DALAROO METALS LIMITED
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Dalaroo Metals Limited (‘the Company”), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2024, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including material accounting policy information, the entity disclosure statement and the director’s declaration.
In our opinion:
-
a. the accompanying financial report of the Entity is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
-
(i) giving a true and fair view of the Entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2024 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and
-
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
-
b. the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 1.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Entity 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 (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
64
==> picture [593 x 63] intentionally omitted <==
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key Audit Matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Exploration Expenditure
The Entity had an exploration and evaluation expenditure balance of $971,759 as at 30 June 2024 and during the year incurred exploration expenditure of $1,381,697.
Exploration and evaluation expenditure is a key audit matter due to:
-
The significance of the balance to the Entity’s financial position.
-
The level of judgement required in evaluating management’s application of the requirements of AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources . AASB 6 (‘AASB 6’) is an industry specific accounting standard requiring the application of significant judgements, estimates and industry knowledge. This includes specific requirements for expenditure to be capitalised as an asset and subsequent requirements which must be complied with for capitalised expenditure to continue to be carried as an asset.
-
The assessment of impairment of exploration and evaluation expenditure requiring significant judgement.
Our procedures included, amongst others:
-
Assessing management’s determination of its areas of interest for consistency with the definition in AASB 6. This involved analysing the tenements in which the Entity holds an interest and the exploration programs planned for those tenements.
-
For each area of interest, we assessed the Entity’s rights to tenure.
-
Substantiated a sample of expenditure by agreeing to supporting documentation.
-
We assessed each area of interest for one or more of the following circumstances that may indicate impairment of the capitalised expenditure:
-
the licenses for the right to explore expiring in the near future or are not expected to be renewed;
-
substantive expenditure for further exploration in the specific area is neither budgeted or planned;
-
decision or intent by management to discontinue activities in the specific area of interest due to lack of commercially viable quantities of resources; and
-
data indicating that, although a development in the specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the exploration asset is unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development or sale.
65
==> picture [593 x 63] intentionally omitted <==
Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Entity’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 that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and the entity disclosure statement that is true and correct and is free of misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 2, the directors also state in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements , that the financial report complies with International Financial Reporting Standards.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Entity or to cease operations, or has 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.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
66
==> picture [593 x 63] intentionally omitted <==
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Entity’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Entity to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the
-
disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Entity to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Entity audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Report on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2024. The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the remuneration report in accordance with s 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the remuneration report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
67

Auditor’s Opinion
