PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

The principal activity of the Company during the financial period was mineral exploration for resources at the Company's Namban and Lyons River projects located in Western Australia which are prospective for PGE-Ni-Cu and Pb-Zn-Cu-Ag deposits respectively.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Dalaroo's Namban and Lyons River projects occupy large strategically located and 100% controlled land positions totalling 1.140 km2, each of a scale suitable to host significant sized orebodies located in the Tier 1 exploration and mining jurisdiction of Western Australia. Significant exploration activities have been completed at the Namban and Lyons River projects.

Namban

Detailed 50m spaced drone magnetic surveys completed have outlined and identified multiple targets. Systematic geochemical surveys have commenced over these magnetic intrusive target areas (DAL ASX Announcement 15 November 2021).

Cattady PGE-Ni-Cu anomaly with PGE values of up to 97ppb and peak anomalous values of 642 ppm Ni and 226 ppm Cu defined over 1km strike length. This emerging anomaly remains open along strike (DAL ASX Announcement 7 December 2021).

Lyons River

Diamond hole LRDD003 assays returned early promising anomalous lead and zinc zones including a higher-grade intersection of 0.2m of 3.05% Pb, 1.37% Zn and 3g/t Ag beneath the Four Corners Pb-Zn soil geochemical anomaly and within a 2.5 km-long Induced Polarisation (IP) chargeable zone. Mineralisation remains open in all directions (DAL ASX Announcement 19 October 2021).

Detailed gravity surveys have been completed at the Four Corners and Browns prospects. Geochemical surveys are underway to better refine prospects/regional targets. (DAL ASX Announcement 19 October 2021).

A total of eight RC drill holes for 1,989 metres have been completed at the Four Corners prospect to test several base metal targets and obtain greater understanding of the metamorphosed stratabound sequence of pyritic psammitic and pelitic rocks and corresponding anomalous Pb-Zn geochemistry (DAL ASX Announcement 14 December 2021).

Directors' Report

The net loss after income tax for the half-year was \$1,326,541.

Operations during the reporting period were primarily focused on exploration and resource development at the Company's Lyons River and Namban Projects in Western Australia.

At the end of the half-year the Company had \$3,860,402 in cash and at call deposits (30 June 2021: \$402,152). Capitalised mineral exploration and evaluation expenditure (including acquisition costs) is \$971,759 (30 June 2021: \$971,540).

During the reporting period the Company received \$5,000,000 (before costs) pursuant to the issue of 25.0 million shares under a prospectus dated 16 August 2021 & subsequently was admitted to the official list of ASX on 28 September 2021.

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements For the half-vear ended 31 December 2021

Basis of preparation of half-year report Note 1

Statement of compliance

The half-year financial report is a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The half-year report does not include notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report and shall be read in conjunction with the 30 June 2021 annual financial statements.

The Company is a for profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards.

The half-year financial report was approved by the Board of Directors on 24 February 2022.

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for the revaluation of certain non-current assets and financial instruments. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.

The accounting policies and methods of computation are consistent with those previously disclosed in the 30 June 2021 annual financial statements, except for the new accounting policies adopted by the Company during the period, as disclosed below:

Emplovee Benefits Provisions

Employee Benefits Provision is made for the Company's liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within a 12 month period have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs. Employee benefits payable later than 12 months have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits.

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 Company'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 period 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 quarantee; 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.

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements For the half-year ended 31 December 2021

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 period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset. whichever is the shorter. Where the Company 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.

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations applicable for the half year ended 31 December 2021

For the period ended 31 December 2021, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Company and effective for the current reporting period. These are not expected to have a material impact on the Company.

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations on issue not yet applicable

The Directors have not early adopted any new Accounting Standard or Interpretation currently on issue but not yet applicable to the Company.

Note2 Comparative Information

The Company was incorporated on 6 May 2021. As this is the first interim financial report for the Company, no 31 December 2020 comparative information is available for disclosure.

Note 3 Seament information

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.

Non-Current Assets - Right of Use assets

Note 15

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 14 for details of the corresponding lease liability arising from the abovementioned lease. The lease is for an initial term of three years commencing 1 July 2021 with an option to extend for three further years. Management have determined that based on all available information it is reasonably certain that they will exercise the option to renew the lease at the end of the initial three year term. Accordingly, a lease term of 6 years (commencing from 1 July 2021) has been used for the purpose of the above calculations, in conjunction with the Company's incremental borrowing rate of 5.75%.

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 2022, 1 July 2023, 1 July 2025 and 1 July 2026. A Market Rent Review will occur on 1 July 2024. 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%.

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 our audit of the annual financial report in Australia.

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 gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's Responsibility for the Review of the Financial Report

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Company's financial position as at 31 December 2021 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Australian 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.
