Directors’ Report
Review of Operations
During the financial year ended 30 June 2024, your Company continued to actively explore and evolve its exploration landholdings in the farming terrain of the West Yilgarn (Figure 1), continuing with strategically targeted low-cost reconnaissance soil sampling of new gold and copper targets, in tandem with review of multiple new project opportunities to build shareholder value.
Project generation work over the year has led to the successful identification and acquisition of two new projects; Three Springs and Perenjori , the latter of which includes a significant zone of surface gold anomalism at the Rocky Ridge gold prospect with excellent potential to deliver bedrock gold mineralisation on further drilling. Drilling activity at Rocky Ridge is planned as soon as feasible following current season harvest.
Business Development
Enegex remains well placed to pursue new advanced and early-stage mineral exploration opportunities that complement its existing asset base in WA, or elsewhere where the Company sees potential to generate significant shareholder returns. Our commodity preference remains gold and copper.
The Company has evaluated multiple commercial opportunities in the Western Yilgarn and elsewhere over the year, and strategic licence applications will continue to be made as exploration opportunities arise.
West Yilgarn Projects
The potential of the West Yilgarn to deliver large-scale discoveries is demonstrated by the significant Gonneville Ni-Cu-PGE deposit by Chalice Mining Ltd (ASX: CHN), hosted within a mafic-ultramafic intrusion, and the delineation of 2.84Mt of contained copper at the Caravel Copper Project (Caravel Minerals Ltd ASX: CVV) in an area historically interpreted to be underlain by non-prospective granitic geology. In addition, the multi-million-ounce Boddington copper-gold mine (Newmont Ltd), and the Greenbushes Lithium Operations (Albemarle, IGO, Tianqi) demonstrate that discoveries in the province can progress through feasibility studies and develop into highly lucrative mining operations.
Gold potential of the broader West Yilgarn area is highlighted by the 3.3 million ounce Mt Gibson gold deposit of Capricorn Metals (ASX:CMM), emerging gold anomalies at the Barrabarra Project of Chalice Mining, the Moora Cu-Au Project (ASX M16) Cu-Au, copper-gold mineralisation at Ularring (ASX:CR1), a previously mined high-grade gold deposit at Pithara near Dalwallinu, and Enegex’s Rocky Ridge Project (Figures 1 and 2) .
Enegex has assembled a geology-based tenure position that is subdivided into five Project areas: Perenjori, Three Springs, Miamoon , Walebing and Goomalling (Figure 1) . These Projects lie predominantly in flat lying private freehold land and offer an excellent low-cost operating environment where access to exploration activities is subject to landowner consultation, consent and annual cropping activity. We are pleased to report that the Company has seen excellent landowner support across its Project areas and Enegex continues to work closely with landowners to minimise its impact and work around farming schedules.

Directors’ Report
Once access is obtained for an area, the Company aims to define and quickly evaluate quality targets using low-impact surface sampling techniques, particularly where prior geochemical coverage is wide spaced or absent. Identified areas with significant gold or base metal anomalism are then further evaluated and progressed using ground geophysical surveys and first-pass drilling.

Figure 1. Regional tenure showing Enegex licence holdings relative to nearby explorers and recent mineral discoveries
The Company’s exploration program over the last 12 months has increased understanding of the geology, structural targets and weathering profiles below the widespread soil and cover sequences typical of the area ( Figure 2 ). This improved geological framework has enabled Enegex to refine geochemical thresholds and dispersion patterns, which in turn permits highly effective and rapid evaluation including the turnover of less prospective tenure.
3
Directors’ Report
The Company uses field geology, past exploratory work, and proprietary geochemical and geophysical datasets to define structural and lithological targets, and then applies first-stage and infill geochemical sampling techniques to inexpensively assess those target areas.

Directors’ Report
Exploration Activities
Perenjori Project
The large Perenjori Project was secured during the year following regional structural interpretation and targeting. The tenure covers several northwest trending aeromagnetic and gravity corridors thought to be the continuation of the gneiss and partially preserved greenstone terrain in the Miamoon and eastern Walebing areas. Aeromagnetic imagery indicates several prospective targets including structural flexures and late intrusions with possible faulted contacts. Bedrock geology in the Project area is largely obscured by laterite or shallow sandy soils.
A proprietary geochemical dataset comprising nearly 3,000 roadside surface sample points was purchased, and programs of data compilation and soil sampling were undertaken to infill prior sample lines that were up to 10km apart. This work identified the Rocky Ridge Gold Prospect (Figure 3) as a key area of interest.
==> picture [445 x 340] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 3 . Perenjori Project area showing main target areas, proprietary surface sampling dataset, Enegex auger sampling traverses, and the location of the Rocky Ridge Gold Prospect.
Rocky Ridge is a significant regional gold anomaly aligned along an arcuate aeromagnetic and gravity corridor that extends over more than 20km and is interpreted to consist of mafic and felsic granulite. The central and western part of the corridor contains a 6.5km trend of auger gold anomalism ( Figure 4 ) that is strongly developed where the soil and laterite profile is shallow.
5
Directors’ Report
Auger grades commonly exceed 100ppb Au and are contourable over wide areas at >20ppb Au, often separated by local sand or clay filled drainage channels that are likely to have obscured underlying anomalism. Past RAB, aircore and limited RC drilling ( Figure 5 ) has returned bedrock gold intercepts that include 7m @ 2.52g/t Au EOH , 7m @ 1.14g/t Au EOH and 6m @ 0.98g/t Au , indicating potential for commercial gold grades along the broader Rocky Ridge system.
Field investigation during the year has refined our understanding of the weathering and transported soil profiles at Rocky Ridge. Sectional interpretation of past drilling confirm gold results report not only to a transported laterite gravel horizon but also critically to underlying weathered bedrock, often near at end of hole and encouragingly directly on the regional magnetic trend.
The dip and orientation of underlying bedrock mineralisation is yet to be determined, and the Company believes that previous testing may not have been fully effective. Strike extensions remain completely un-tested and aircore drill traverses are being designed to commence as soon as farm access allows. A high-resolution UAV magnetic drone survey over the prospect is underway. Extensional drill targets will be defined on the basis of auger anomalism and areas on the aeromagnetic trend that are unsuitable for auger sampling.

Three Springs Project
The Three Springs tenement was also acquired during the year to secure tenure across a series of prospective aeromagnetic features interpreted to represent a folded-faulted greenstone and gneiss terrane ( Figure 6 ) reflecting an encouraging setting for gold similar to the geology at the Rocky Ridge Gold Prospect.
Reconnaissance-scale auger soil sampling commenced following the grant of the licence, with the initial phase of sampling collected at a wide 200m sample spacing along 17 lines at a nominal 800m line spacing. The program was designed as a first pass test of a completely unexplored magnetic terrain and covers less than half of the total Three Springs target area.
7
Directors’ Report
Anomalous gold results well above the regional anomalous threshold (~4ppb Au) were returned in several locations. At this wide sample density and in predominantly soil and sand-covered regolith setting, the anomalous sample points warrant infill and follow-up sampling. Follow up and extensional exploration auger soil sampling will be completed after the cropping season.

Directors’ Report
Miamoon Project
The Miamoon tenement group saw selected tenure reduction during the year as first-pass soil sampling reconnaissance was completed. The retained eastern Miamoon tenements cover a structural zone interpreted to be a potential continuation of features related to the Caravel Copper Project and therefore prospective for structural and porphyry style Cu-Au mineralisation. Retained western Miamoon tenements host several unexplored magnetic and gravity bodies including previously identified ‘Spitfire’ and ‘Crusader’ targets that remain prospective for Ni-Cu-PGE styles. Land access restrictions have prevented any progress on these targets. The Company continues to refine its targeting and undertake reconnaissance sampling at Miamoon.
Walebing Project
The early stage Walebing Project is located immediately to the north of the Caravel Copper Project. Limited soil sampling work allowed refining of the tenement position in this area. Landowner access negotiations continue over the prospective eastern margin of the tenement that cover extensions of the Wongan Hills greenstone belt.
Goomalling Project
The Company’s Goomalling tenure lies on-trend and approximately 10km southeast of Caravel Minerals’ Opie Copper Mineral Resource (refer to https://caravelminerals.com.au). Mapped geology is dominated by gneiss and meta sediments including banded iron formation and a late granitic intrusion.
Enegex has been assessing an area of weakly elevated copper in soil in the northeastern part of the tenement ( Gladius Prospect ), that is coincident with prospective magnetic and gravity responses. Minor disseminated sulphides within a gneissic rock have been logged in old water bore drill cuttings near the eastern tenement boundary. The Gladius area continues to be evaluated ahead of follow-up work.
Green Hills
This Project was deemed to cover an area with limited future development opportunity and was surrendered during the year.

Directors’ Report
Operating and Financial Risk
The Group faces and manages the following material business risks that could influence the Group’s future prospects:
Operational risks
The Company may be affected by various operational factors. In the event that any of these potential risks eventuate, the Company’s operational and financial performance may be adversely affected. No assurances can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the successful exploration and/or mining of its tenement interests. Until the Company is able to realise value from its projects, it is likely to incur ongoing operating losses.
The operations of the Company may be affected by various factors, including failure to locate or identify mineral deposits, failure to achieve predicted grades in exploration and mining, operational and technical difficulties encountered in mining, insufficient or unreliable infrastructure such as power, water and transport, difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs, adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment.
The Company’s tenements are at various stages of exploration, and potential investors should understand that mineral exploration and development are speculative and high-risk undertakings that may be impeded by circumstances and factors beyond the control of the Company.
There can be no assurance that exploration of the Tenements, or any other exploration properties that may be acquired in the future, will result in the discovery of an economic mineral resource. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited.
There is no assurance that exploration or project studies by the Company will result in the definition of an economically viable mineral. In the event the Company successfully delineates economic deposits on any Tenement, it will need to apply for a mining lease to undertake development and mining on the relevant Tenement. There is no guarantee that the Company will be granted a mining lease if one is applied for and if a mining lease is granted, it will also be subject to conditions which must be met.
Further capital requirements
The Company’s projects may require additional funding in order to progress activities. There can be no assurance that additional capital or other types of financing will be available if needed to further exploration or possible development activities and operations or that, if available, the terms of such financing will be favourable to the Company.
Native title and Aboriginal Heritage
There are areas of the Company’s projects over which legitimate common law and/or statutory Native Title rights of Aboriginal Australians exist. Where Native Title rights do exist, the Company must obtain consent of the relevant landowner to progress the exploration, development and mining phases of operations. Where there is an Aboriginal Site for the purposes of the Aboriginal Heritage legislation, the Company must obtain consents in accordance with the legislation.

Directors’ Report
The Company’s activities are subject to Government regulations and approvals
The Company is subject to certain Government regulations and approvals. Any material adverse change in government policies or legislation in Western Australian and Australia that affect mining, processing, development and mineral exploration activities, export activities, income tax laws, royalty regulations, government subsidiaries and environmental issues may affect the viability and profitability of any planned exploration or possible development of the Company’s portfolio of projects.
Global conditions
General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company’s exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities. General economic conditions, laws relating to taxation, new legislation, trade barriers, movements in interest and inflation rates, currency exchange controls and rates, national and international political circumstances (including outbreaks in international hostilities, wars, terrorist acts, sabotage, subversive activities, security operations, labour unrest, civil disorder, and states of emergency), natural disasters (including fires, earthquakes and floods), and quarantine restrictions, epidemics and pandemics, may have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations and financial performance, including the Company’s exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.
General economic conditions may also affect the value of the Company and its market valuation regardless of its actual performance.

Directors’ Report
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 30 June 2024
Note 1 - Material Accounting Policies
Enegex Limited (“Enegex” or “the company” or “the group”) is a for-profit company incorporated and domiciled in Australia with its registered office and principal place of business located Unit 24, 589 Stirling Highway, Cottesloe WA 6011. The consolidated financial report of the company for the year ended 30 June 2024 comprises the company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “consolidated entity” or “the group”) and the consolidated entity’s interest in joint operations. Financial information for Enegex Limited as an individual entity is included in Note 24. The financial report was authorised by the directors for issue on 24 September 2024. The principal activity of the company during the year was natural resources exploration, evaluation and investment.
(a) Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, including the Accounting Interpretations, issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) and the Corporations Act 2001 . The financial report of the company complies with International Financial Reporting Standards and interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board.
(b) Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial report is presented in Australian dollars which is the company’s functional currency and is prepared on the accrual and historical cost basis. The preparation of a financial report in conformity with Australian Accounting Standards requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Judgements made by management in the application of Australian Accounting Standards that have a significant effect on the financial report and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustment in the next year are discussed in note 1(f).
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the commercial realisation of the Company’s assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
For the year ended 30 June 2024 the Group incurred a net cash outflow from operating and investing activities of $775,612 (2023: $1,114,472) and a net loss after tax of $894,570 (2023: $1,528,429). As at 30 June 2024, the Group has positive working capital of $1,555,004 (2023: $2,507,425).
25
Directors’ Report
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 30 June 2024
Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Based on cashflow forecasts prepared for existing commitments, Directors expect that the Group will continue as a going concern for at least 12 months from the signing of annual financial report.
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in the financial report.
New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The Group 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 period.
AASB 2021-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosure of Accounting Policies and Definition of Accounting Estimates makes amendments to various Australian Accounting Standards and AASB Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgements change the way in which accounting policies are disclosed in financial reports. The amendments require disclosure of material accounting policy information rather than significant accounting policies and are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. Accounting policy disclosure has been updated in line with this standard. All other new standards had no material effect.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
(c) Exploration and evaluation expenditure
Exploration and evaluation assets, including the costs of acquiring permits or licences, are capitalised as exploration and evaluation assets on an area of interest basis. Exploration and evaluation assets are only recognised if the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current and either:
-
i. the expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale or partial sale: or
-
ii. activities in the area of interest have not at the reporting date, reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.
The tests contained in AASB6.20 are applied to determine whether exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment indicators:
-
1) the exploration and evaluation tenure right has expired or are expected to expire in the near future and is not expected to be renewed.
-
2) substantive expenditure on further exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area is neither budgeted nor planned.
-
3) exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area have not led to the discovery of commercially viable quantities of mineral resources and the entity has decided to discontinue such activities in the specific area.
26
Directors’ Report
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 30 June 2024
Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
- 4) sufficient data exist to indicate that, although a development in the specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development or by sale.
Proceeds from the sale of exploration permits or recoupment of exploration costs from farm-in arrangements are credited against exploration costs previously capitalised. Any excess of the proceeds overs costs recouped are accounted for as a gain on disposal.
Restoration, rehabilitation and environmental costs necessitated by exploration and evaluation activities are provided for as part of the cost of those activities. Costs are estimated on the basis of current legal requirements, anticipated technology and future costs that have been discounted to their present value. Estimates of future costs are reassessed at each reporting date.
(d) Impairment of assets
The carrying amounts of the company’s assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there are indicators of impairment. Where impairment indicators exist, recoverable amount is determined, and impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss where the asset's carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purpose of 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 risks specific to the asset.
Where it is not possible to estimate recoverable amount for an individual asset, recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
(e) Income tax
Income tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is provided using the statement of financial position liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.
The initial recognition of assets or liabilities that do not affect accounting nor taxable profit is not provided for in determining deferred tax amounts. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date. A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be applied. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
27
Directors’ Report
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 30 June 2024
Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The Company recognises deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses of the company to the extent that is probable that future taxable profits of the company will be available against which the asset can be utilised.
(f) Accounting estimates and judgements
Management determines the development, selection and disclosure of the company’s critical accounting policies and estimates and the application of these policies and estimates. Other than as disclosed in these notes there are no estimates and judgements that are considered to have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
Management has determined that realisation of the estimated deferred tax asset arising from tax losses and temporary differences is not probable and has not brought to account the asset at balance date (Note 3).
Per Note 1(c) and 1(d) management exercise judgement as to the whether exploration expenditure is assessed for impairment. Any judgement may change as new information becomes available. If, after having capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure, management concludes that the capitalised expenditure is unlikely to be recovered by future sale or exploitation, then the relevant capitalised amount will be written off through profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
(g) Share-based payment transactions Equity settled transactions
The fair value of options granted are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the grantee become unconditionally entitled to the options.
The fair value at grant date is independently determined using an option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option.
The fair value of the options granted is adjusted to reflect market vesting conditions but excludes the impact of any non-market vesting conditions (for example, profitability and sales growth targets). Nonmarket vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. At each reporting date, the entity revises its estimate of the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. The expense recognised each period takes into account the most recent estimate. The impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

The ultimate recoupment of exploration and evaluation expenditure carried forward is dependent on successful development and exploitation, or alternatively sale of the respective area of interest. Factors that could impact the future recoverability include the level of reserves and resources, future technological changes, costs of drilling and production, production rates, future legal changes (including changes to environmental restoration obligations) and changes to commodity prices.

Note 17 - Financial Instruments
Purchases and sales of financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on trade date; the date on which the company commits to purchase or sell the financial assets or financial liabilities. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
Exposure to credit, interest rate, liquidity and currency risks arises in the normal course of the company’s business. The company’s overall risk management approach is to identify the risks and implement safeguards which seek to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the company.
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. At balance date there were no significant concentrations of credit risk for the company. The maximum exposure to credit risk of financial assets is represented by the carrying amounts of each financial asset in the statement of financial position.
Interest rate risk
All financial liabilities and financial assets at floating rates expose the company to cash flow interest rate risk. The company has no exposure to interest rate risk at balance date, other than in relation to cash and cash equivalents which attract a floating interest rate. Details of cash and cash deposits can be found in Note 4. At balance date a 1% (100 basis point) increase/ decrease in the interest rate would improve / worsen the company’s post tax profit by $21,895 (2023: $16,419).
37
Directors’ Report
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 30 June 2024
Note 17 - Financial Instruments (Continued)
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is monitored to ensure sufficient monies are available to meet contractual obligations as and when they fall due. All financial assets and liabilities have a maturity date of less than 12 months.
Foreign currency risk
The consolidated entity is exposed to foreign currency risk arising from purchases of goods and services that are denominated in a currency other than the Australian dollar functional currency. Data processing by overseas suppliers are usually denominated in US dollars. To this extent, the consolidated entity is exposed to exchange rate fluctuations between the Australian and US dollar. At 30 June 2024 the consolidated entity has no foreign currency exposure (2023: $nil).
Capital Management
When managing capital, directors’ objective is to ensure the entity continues as a going concern as well as to maintain optimal returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.
It is the company’s plan that capital will be raised by any one or a combination of the following manners: placement of shares to excluded offerees, pro-rata issue to shareholders, the exercise of outstanding options, and/or a further issue of shares. Should these methods not be considered to be viable, or in the best interests of shareholders, then it would be the company’s intention to meet its exploration obligations by either partial sale of its interests or farmout, the latter course of action being part of its overall strategy.
The company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
Note 18 - Segment Information
The company has adopted AASB 8 Operating Segments whereby segment information is presented using a 'management approach', i.e., segment information is provided on the same basis as information used for internal reporting purposes by the board of directors.
At regular intervals the board is provided management information at a company level for the company’s cash position, the carrying values of exploration permits and a company cash forecast for the next twelve months of operation.
On this basis, no segment information is included in these financial statements.
All interest received has been derived in Australia. All exploration permits and activity is in Australia.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Members of Enegex Limited
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Enegex Limited (“the Company”) and its controlled entities (“the Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2024, 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 year then ended, notes to the financial statements, including material accounting policy information, the consolidated entity disclosure statement and the directors’ declaration.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
-
(a) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2024 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and
-
(b) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
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 Group 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 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.
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.

| current rights to tenure of its areas of interest; | |||
| - | We examined the exploration budget for the | ||
| coming period and discussed with management | |||
| the nature of planned ongoing activities; | |||
| - | We enquired with management, reviewed ASX | ||
| announcements and reviewed minutes of | |||
| Directors’ meetings to ensure that the Group | |||
| had not resolved to discontinue exploration and | |||
| evaluation at any of its areas of interest; | |||
| - | We substantiated a sample of capitalised | ||
| expenditure to underlying support; and | |||
| - | We examined the disclosures made in the | ||
| financial report. |
Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2024, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report, or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of:
-
(a) the financial report (other than the consolidated entity disclosure statement) that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 ; and
-
(b) the consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , and
43
==> picture [165 x 50] intentionally omitted <==
for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of:
-
(a) the financial report (other than the consolidated entity disclosure statement) that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and
-
(b) the consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with 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.
-
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 Group’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 Group’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 Group 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.
44
==> picture [165 x 50] intentionally omitted <==
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, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
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.

The Corporate Governance Statement discloses the extent to which the Company follows the recommendations set by the ASX Corporate Governance Council in its publication Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations – 4th Edition ( Recommendations ). The Recommendations are not mandatory, however the Recommendations that will not be followed have been identified and reasons provided for not following them along with what (if any) alternative governance practices the Company intends to adopt in lieu of the recommendation.
Due to the current size and nature of the existing Board and the magnitude of the Company’s operations, the Board does not consider that the Company will gain any benefit from individual Board committees and that its resources would be better utilised in other areas as the Board is of the strong view that at this stage the experience and skill set of the current Board is sufficient to perform these roles. Under the Company’s Board Charter, the duties that would ordinarily be assigned to individual committees are currently carried out by the full Board under the written terms of reference for those committees.
