LETTER FROM THE CHAIR

On behalf of your Board of Directors, I am pleased to present the first Annual Report to shareholders of Global Lithium Resources Limited (GL1), as an Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) listed company.

It has been a constructive and dynamic year for GL1. In May 2021, your company had a successful $10 million Initial Public Offering (IPO) and admission to the ASX. Since this time, your company has made significant strides in completing RC and diamond drill programs and doubled the size of your landholding in the infrastructure-rich Pilbara region.

The success of the past three years has put us firmly on track towards our goal of further growing the Marble Bar Lithium Project. Although

==> picture [130 x 186] intentionally omitted <==

SUSTAINABILITY

Global Lithium is committed to approaching all aspects of its business in a safe and sustainable manner. The Board of Directors considers sustainability an integral part of Global Lithium’s strategy.

During the year, Global Lithium introduced an exploration management system of work that considers the health and safety of people and culture. Since adopting this new system, the Company has completed all exploration activities at the MBLP without any recordable safety, social or environmental incident.

Also, during the year, Global Lithium undertook a stakeholder analysis process, identifying those companies, groups and people who are most impacted by, or have most influence on, the Company’s business. As part of the next phase of development, this will be incorporated into a broader stakeholder engagement plan, which has to date included regular engagement with and updates to the local community, traditional owners, regulators and other key stakeholders.

Global Lithium maintains a strong corporate governance framework which it reports against regularly to ASX.

As Global Lithium grows its business, it is reviewing its approach to Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) against recognised industry frameworks and anticipates to be able to adopt a set of guidelines during FY22 against which it can start to report.

OPERATIONS REVIEW

Global Lithium is pleased to provide an overview of its activities during the 2021 Financial Year, focused on exploration of its Marble Bar Lithium Project (MBLP) in Western Australia’s Pilbara region.

Corporate

Global Lithium commenced trading on the Australian Securities Exchange on 6 May 2021 following completion of a heavily oversubscribed IPO which raised $10 million through the issue of 50,000,000 shares at an issue price of $0.20 per share.

Marble Bar Lithium Project

Global Lithium’s wholly owned Marble Bar Lithium Project is an emerging hard rock lithium discovery located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, approximately 150km southeast of Port Hedland near the town of Marble Bar.

Within the MBLP, the Archer lithium deposit comprises multiple spodumene bearing pegmatites, many of which outcrop at surface. The deposit comprises a JORC Inferred Mineral Resource of 10.5Mt @ 1.0% Li2O[3] .

==> picture [250 x 313] intentionally omitted <==

The MBLP is situated close to major road infrastructure, with direct links into Port Hedland, where bulk commodities, including spodumene concentrate, are currently being exported. The MBLP is located approximately 15km from the town of Marble Bar, which provides ready access to services and skills.

In exploring the MBLP, Global Lithium has a strategic partnership in Resource Potentials, a specialist geophysics and geology group. Resource Potentials provided technical direction and support for the Company’s exploration activities.

OPERATIONS REVIEW

Lithium Exploration Activities

Post completing its IPO, Global Lithium undertook a 5,454m RC drilling program that demonstrated the lithium mineralisation in the MBLP system extended for more than 6km. Lithium mineralisation remains open along strike to the north, south, east and at depth.

Results included the widest mineralised interval intersected to date in MBRC0135, drilled outside the Archer mineral resource envelope, which returned exceptional results including[4] :

  • 28m @ 1.51% Li2O and 46ppm Ta2O5 from 69m (down hole length, true width not known), and

  • 9m @ 1.11% Li2O and 42ppm Ta2O5 from 108m (down hole length, true width not known).

Other significant lithium assays from the program included:

  • 8m @ 1.47% Li2O and 49ppm Ta2O5 from 61m in MBRC0128

  • 5m @ 0.90% Li2O and 57ppm Ta2O5 from 85m in MBRC0128

  • 7m @ 1.24% Li2O and 76ppm Ta2O5 from 30m in MBRC0136

  • 5m @ 1.26% Li2O and 91ppm Ta2O5 from 139m in MBRC0127

  • 6m @ 0.98% Li2O and 62ppm Ta2O5 from 134m in MBRC014

Rock chip samples from outcropping spodumene bearing pegmatites collected near the southern border of E45/4309 (and close to recently acquired tenement E45/4724) have returned assay results of up to 4.7% Li2O (RP50696), indicating potential for lithium mineralisation to extend further south into this new tenement and this will form part of future activities[4] .

A diamond drill rig was mobilised to site at the end of June to collect core for metallurgical testwork.

Gold Exploration Activities

As part of the RC drilling program, Global Lithium also progressed its Twin Veins gold prospect located in the northern part of its tenement package on E45/4631.

Twin Veins is a series of outcropping quartz veining in greenstone rocks associated with a >1km long soil and rock chip geochemical anomaly in an underexplored gold trend.

Drillhole MBRC0157 was an isolated RC hole, located 200m to the west of existing drillholes, designed to target extensions to the gold trend and a contact zone with an internal granite stock. The drillhole returned[5] :

  • 12m @ 2.95g/t from 37m; including 3m @ 9.91g/t from 40m, and

  • 3m @ 1.10g/t from 81m.

Page 7

OPERATIONS REVIEW

The Marble Bar region is a well-known historical gold producing region, with a number of small gold mines and gold nuggets discovered by prospectors over the last 130 years, however much of the region has undergone little modern drill testing.

Executing a growth strategy

In June 2021, consistent with its stated strategy to consider options to grow its business, the Company announced the acquisition of over 120km[2] of highly prospective lithium tenure (tenements E45/4669 and E45/4724) located immediately south of the MBLP, which almost doubled the size of the Company’s project landholding (see Figure 1)[2] .

Through the acquisition of E45/4724, the Company increases its holding of the North Star Basalt greenstone belt, from 11km of strike to more than 25km of strike extending to the south.

Previous exploration on E45/4669 has identified a lithium bearing pegmatite swarm across a 3.5km long and 4km wide zone.

The Company will continue to consider acquisition opportunities or further tenement applications where the Company considers such opportunities are a strategic fit to its operations.

Principal activities

During the period the principal continuing activity was to explore and evaluate lithium resources on exploration tenements located within the Consolidated Group’s 100% owned Marble Bar Lithium Project (MBLP). The MBLP is located 150km southeast of Port Hedland and 15km northwest of Marble Bar in Western Australia.

Results of Operations

The consolidated net loss after income tax for the financial year was $1,224,978 (2020: $6,683).

Dividends

No dividends were paid during the period.

Review of operations

Corporate

Initial Public Offer (IPO) and ASX listing

Global Lithium commenced trading on the Australian Securities Exchange on 6 May 2021 following completion of a heavily oversubscribed IPO which raised $10 million (before costs) through the issue of 50,000,000 shares at an issue price of $0.20 per share.

During the financial year the Board of Directors was restructured as part of the IPO, with the appointment of Non-Executive Chair Warrick Hazeldine and Managing Director Jamie Wright, Dianmin Chen remains as Non-Executive Director. All members of the Board have significant mineral exploration, project development and corporate expertise. Mr Edward Rigg and Mr Mingyan Wang resigned as Non-executive Directors.

Exploration

Global Lithium’s focus for exploration activities is the MBLP where, during the year, a JORC Inferred Mineral Resource of 10.5Mt @ 1% Li2O was declared at the Archer Deposit, along with numerous targets for follow up, demonstrating the MBLP as a potentially significant lithium project.

Between May and June 2021, the Company completed an exploration program comprising 5,454m of reverse circulation (RC) drilling. The objectives of this program were to obtain a better understanding of the lithium mineralisation at the Archer Deposit, undertake step-out RC drilling where the Archer Deposit may extend along strike and at depth, test target areas in the Brockman Zone, collect diamond core for metallurgical and geotechnical test work and compete detailed geological mapping and desktop studies over the area.

Page 15

DIRECTORS REPORT

In June 2021, the Company commenced a short diamond drilling program to collect core for preliminary metallurgical and mineralogical studies.

In July 2021, assay results from the RC drilling highlighted multiple drillholes intersecting lithium mineralisation within and along strike from the existing Archer deposit, with significant lithium anomalism detected in isolated scout holes.

Significant changes in the state of affairs

The Company converted from a private to public Company on the 28[th] January 2021. The Company was admitted to the Official List of ASX Limited on 4 May 2021 and official quotation of Global Lithium Resources Limited ordinary fully paid shares commenced on 6 May 2021. The Company raised $10,000,000 pursuant to the offer under its prospectus dated 22 March 2021 by the issue of 50,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares (issue price of $0.20 per share).

Other than as stated above, there were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Company during the year ended 30 June 2021.

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year

The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and while it has not significantly impacted the Group to date, it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date. The situation is rapidly developing and is dependent on measures imposed by the Australian Government and other countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided.

The acquisition of Pilbara prospective lithium tenements E45/4724 and E45/4669 was completed in July 2021. The tenements were the subject of an agreement to acquire which was entered into with FE Limited on the 14 June 2021. The agreement was for the acquisition of 100% interest in the tenements including all lithium rights. Consideration of $350,000 was payable on completion.

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2021 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the Consolidated Entity’s operations, the results of those operations, or the Consolidated Entity’s state of affairs in future financial years.

Likely developments and expected results of operations

The Directors expect that the Group will continue to carry on exploration and evaluation of the tenements.

Environmental regulation

The consolidated group holds interests in a number of exploration tenements. The authorities granting such tenements require the tenement holder to comply with the terms of the grant of the tenement. The Group is subject to environmental regulation under Australian Commonwealth and/or State law.

The framework aligns executive reward with the achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value for shareholders, and it is considered to conform to the market best practice for the delivery of reward. The Board of Directors ('the Board') ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward governance practices:

  • Competitiveness and reasonableness

  • Acceptability to shareholders

  • Performance linkage / alignment of executive compensation

  • Transparency

DIRECTORS REPORT

Non-executive Directors’ remuneration

Fees and payments to non-executive Directors reflect the demands and responsibilities of their role. Non-executive Directors' fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Board of Directors (‘Board’). The Board may, from time to time, receive advice from independent remuneration consultants to ensure non-executive Directors' fees and payments are appropriate and in line with the market. The Chairman's fees are determined independently to the fees of other non-executive Directors based on comparative roles in the external market. The Chairman is not present at any discussions relating to the determination of his own remuneration.

Total remuneration for non-executive Directors shall not exceed $250,000 as disclosed in the Company Constitution and adopted by special resolution of the members on the 28[th] January 2021.

Executive remuneration

The consolidated entity aims to reward executives based on their position and responsibility, with a level and mix of remuneration which has both fixed and variable components

The executive remuneration and reward framework has four components:

  • Base pay and non-monetary benefits

  • Short-term performance incentives

  • Share-based payments

  • Other remuneration such as superannuation and long service leave

The combination of these comprises the executive’s total remuneration.

Executives are offered a competitive level of base salary at market rates (based on comparable ASX listed companies) and are reviewed annually by the Board of Directors to ensure market competitiveness.

The company has not engaged external remuneration consultants to advise the Board on remuneration matters .

The Hoadley Barrier1 valuation model has been used to determine the value of the Tranche 3 rights taking into consideration vesting conditions as they meet the definition of market conditions.

END OF AUDITED REMUNERATION REPORT

Page 25

DIRECTORS REPORT

Indemnity and insurance of officers

The Company has indemnified the Directors and executives of the Company for costs incurred, in their capacity as a Director or Executive, for which they may be held personally liable, except where there is a lack of good faith.

During the year ended 30 June 2021, the Group paid insurance premiums in respect of Directors’ and Officers’ liability and legal expenses’ insurance contracts for current Directors and Officers. The insurance premiums relate to costs and expenses incurred by the relevant officers in defending proceedings, whether civil or criminal and whatever their outcome and other liabilities that may arise from their position, with the exception of conduct involving a wilful breach of duty or improper use of information or position to gain a personal advantage.

Details of the amount of the premium paid in respect of the insurance policies are not disclosed as such disclosure is prohibited under the terms of the contract

Indemnity and insurance of auditor

The Group has not, during or since the end of the financial year, indemnified or agreed to indemnify the auditor of the Company or any related entity against a liability incurred by the auditor.

Non-audit services

During the reporting period PKF performed certain other services in addition to its statutory duties.

The Board has considered the non-audit services provided during the reporting period by the auditor and is satisfied that the provision of those non-audit services is compatible with, and did not compromise, the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) for the following reasons:

The non-audit services do not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, as they did not involve reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the Group, acting as an advocate for the Group or jointly sharing risks and rewards.

Proceedings on behalf of the company

No person has applied to the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring proceedings on behalf of the Group, or to intervene in any proceedings to which the Group is a party for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Group for all or part of those proceedings.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1: Significant accounting policies

Global Lithium Resources Limited and its controlled entities (the ‘Group’) is domiciled and incorporated in Australia. The consolidated financial report of the consolidated entity for the period ended 30 June 2021 comprises the Company and its subsidiaries (the ‘Consolidated Group’). The consolidated group is involved in resource exploration and development in Western Australia.

The financial report was authorized for issue by the Directors on 24 September 2021.

Basis of preparation

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

a) Statement of Compliance

The financial report is a general-purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (‘AASBs’) (including Australian Accounting Interpretations), other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) and the Corporations Act 2001. Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which they apply.

Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Global Lithium Resources Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.

b) Basis of consolidation

The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Parent Company and all of its subsidiaries as of 30 June 2021. The Parent controls a subsidiary if it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary.

All transactions and balances between Group Companies are eliminated on consolidation, including unrealised gains and losses on transactions between Group Companies. Amounts reported in the financial statements of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

c) Going concern

The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

The Consolidated Entity incurred a loss after tax of $1,224,978 for the year ended 30 June 2021 (2020: loss $6,683). The net cash outflows from operations and investing activities were $1,239,562 and $5,019,436 respectively. As at 30 June 2021 the Consolidated Entity’s current assets exceeded current liabilities by $8,059,966 (30 June 2020: surplus of $850,446).

d) Basis of measurement

The financial report is prepared on the historical costs basis and on an accrual basis.

e) Functional and presentation currency

These consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries.

f) Critical accounting estimates and judgements

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. These accounting policies have been consistently applied by each entity in the consolidated group.

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. In particular, information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amount recognised in the financial statements are described below:

Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may have, on the consolidated entity based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of staffing and geographic regions in which the consolidated entity operates.

Page 34

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the consolidated entity unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Estimation of useful lives of assets

The consolidated entity determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its property, plant and equipment. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations or some other event. The depreciation and amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or nonstrategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down.

Employee benefits provision

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.

Share-based payments

The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value of options is determined by using Hoadley Trading & Investment Tools ESO2 valuation model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted, The Hoadley Trading & Investment Tools ESO2 valuation model and the Hoadley Barrier1 valuation model were used to value the performance rights. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.

Exploration and evaluation expenditure

Exploration and evaluation expenditure in relation to separate areas of interest for which rights of tenure are current is carried forward as an asset in the statement of financial position where it is expected that the expenditure will be recovered through the successful development and exploitation of an area of interest, or by its sale; or exploration activities are continuing in an area and activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable estimate of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves. Where a project or an area of interest has been abandoned, the expenditure incurred thereon is written off in the year in which the decision is made.

Page 35

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

New and revised standards that are effective for these financial statements

The following details new standards that are mandatorily applicable for the Group for the first time for the year ended 30 June 2021:

Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework)

The revised Conceptual Framework is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Conceptual Framework contains new definition and recognition criteria as well as new guidance on measurement that affects several Accounting Standards. Where the Company has relied on the existing framework in determining its accounting policies for transactions, events or conditions that are not otherwise dealt with under the Australian Accounting Standards, the Company may need to review such policies under the revised framework. The application of the Conceptual Framework did not have a material impact on the Group's financial statements.

AASB 2018-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Definition of

Material

Clarifies the definition of material and its application across AASB Standards and other pronouncements. The principal amendments are to AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements. The amendment is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020. At this time the application of the amendment is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

g) 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.

h) Foreign currency translation

The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Global Lithium Resources Limited’s functional and presentation currency.

i) Revenue recognition

The consolidated entity recognises revenue as follows:

Interest

Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

Page 36

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Other revenue

Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.

j) Income tax

The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period'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 periods, 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.

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.

The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously.

Page 37

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

k) 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 Consolidated Group’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 period; 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 period. All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the Consolidated Group’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 period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.

l) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Highly liquid investments with original maturities greater than three months will be classified as other receivables. For the statement of cash flows presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents also includes bank overdrafts, which are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.

m) Exploration and evaluation assets

Exploration and evaluation expenditure in relation to separate areas of interest for which rights of tenure are current is carried forward as an asset in the statement of financial position where it is expected that the expenditure will be recovered through the successful development and exploitation of an area of interest, or by its sale; or exploration activities are continuing in an area and activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable estimate of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves. Where a project or an area of interest has been abandoned, the expenditure incurred thereon is written off in the year in which the decision is made.

Page 38

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

n) Property, plant and equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment (excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows:

Plant and equipment 3-7 years

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

o) Impairment of non-financial assets

Non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit.

p) Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Consolidated Group prior to the end of the financial 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.

Page 39

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

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.

Share-based payments

Equity-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees.

Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options or rights over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange for the rendering of services.

The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using either the Hoadley Trading & Investment Tools ESO2 valuation model, the Hoadley Barrier1 valuation model, Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option or right, 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, together with non-vesting conditions that do not determine whether the consolidated entity receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions.

The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods.

Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore, any awards subject to market conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are satisfied.

Page 40

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.

If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the consolidated entity or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the consolidated entity or employee and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited.

If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award is treated as if they were a modification.

r) Fair value measurement

When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.

Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed at each reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is either not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on market knowledge and reputation. Where there is a significant change in fair value of an asset or liability from one period to another, an analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the latest valuation and a comparison, where applicable, with external sources of data.

Page 41

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

s) 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.

t) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of Global Lithium Resources Limited, 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 financial 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.

u) Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. 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 reported 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.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority.

v) New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory and have not been early adopted by the Consolidated Group for the annual reporting year ended 30 June 2021.

There are no material new or amended accounting Standards which will materially affect the Group.

Page 42

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

w) Leases

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 Group expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Rightof-use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.

The Consolidated Group 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.

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 Consolidated Group’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 guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option or lease term extension 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.

Note 2: Operating segments

Identification of reportable operating segments

The consolidated entity is organised into one operating segment, being exploration operations. This operating segment is based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (who are identified as the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM')) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.

The accounting policies adopted for internal reporting to the CODM are consistent with those adopted in the financial statements

The information reported to the CODM is on a monthly basis.

The reportable segment is represented by the primary statements forming these financial statements.

The Consolidated Group has provided payment to related parties in the form of sharebased compensation.

The cost of these equity-settled transactions is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they are granted.

Page 44

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

On 30 September 2020 3,750,000 ordinary shares were issued to founding Directors in lieu of services provided pursuant to a special resolution in a general meeting. These are recorded at a deemed value of $0.10 per share.

On 30 September 2020 1,425,000 ordinary shares were issued to suppliers in lieu of services provided pursuant to a special resolution in a general meeting. These are recorded at a deemed value of $0.10 per share.

On 28 April 2021 5,000,000 performance rights were issued to Directors under three equal tranches (1, 2 and 3).

In determining the value of the Tranche 1 and 2 rights vesting conditions attached to these rights have not been reflected in the value as they do not meet the definition of market conditions. The Hoadley Trading & Investment Tools ESO2 valuation model has been used. The total fair value for these is $666,000.

In determining the value of the Tranche 3 rights vesting conditions have been considered as they meet the definition of market conditions. The Hoadley Barrier1 valuation model has been used. The valuation of the Tranche 3 performance rights will be written off over the vesting period. The amount of $17,531 of the total fair value of $280,500 has been recognised in the current reporting period.

Note 18: Financial Instruments

Financial Risk Management Policies

The Company’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, short-term investments and accounts receivable and payable.

The main purpose of non-derivative financial instruments is to raise finance for Company investments.

Derivatives are not used by the Company for hedging purposes. The Company does not speculate in the trading of derivative instruments.

Senior Executives of the Company meet on a regular basis to analyse financial risk exposure and to evaluate treasury management strategies in the context of the most recent economic conditions and forecasts.

The Senior Executives overall risk management strategy seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on financial performance.

The Senior Executives operate under the guidance of the Board of Directors. Risk management initiatives are addressed by the Board when required.

ii. Financial Risk Exposures and Management

The main risks the Company is exposed to through its financial instruments are interest rate risk, liquidity risk.

Interest rate risk

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Native Title and Aboriginal Heritage

Determinations of native title have been made with respect to areas which include tenements in which the Group has an interest. The native title does not interfere with exercise, by members of the Group, of rights under their tenements and the exercise of those rights takes priority over the exercise of the native title. The Group may be liable to pay compensation in relation to the effect of the grant of its tenements on that native title, which will be determined by the Federal Court if not agreed. The Group is unable to determine the quantum of any future compensation at this time. Native title claims have been made with respect to areas which include tenements in which the Group has an interest. The Group is unable to determine the prospects for success or otherwise of the claims and, in any event, whether or not and to what extent the claims may significantly affect the Group or its projects. Areas of the Group’s tenements may be subject to Aboriginal heritage sites protected by State and Federal legislation. In those areas, the agreement of relevant native title holders and certain governmental approvals may be required before members of the Group can exercise rights under their tenements. Agreement is being or has been reached with relevant native title holders in relation to Aboriginal heritage processes regarding areas in which the Group has an interest.

Note 25: Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year

The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and while it has not significantly impacted the Company up to 30 June 2021, it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date. The situation is rapidly developing and is dependent on measures imposed by the Australian Government and other countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided.

The acquisition of Pilbara prospective lithium tenements E45/4724 and E45/4669 was completed in July 2021. The tenements were the subject of an agreement to acquire which was entered into with FE Limited on the 14 June 2021. The agreement was for the acquisition of 100% interest in the tenements including all lithium rights. Consideration of $350,000 was payable on completion.

No other matters or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2021 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the Consolidated Entity’s operations, the results of those operations, or the Consolidated Entity’s state of affairs in future financial years.

Key Audit Matters

==> picture [143 x 120] intentionally omitted <==

A key audit matter is a matter that, in our professional judgement, was of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current year. 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. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context

1. Carrying value of capitalised exploration expenditure

Why significant

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

As at 30 June 2021 the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets was $4,564,073 (2020: $ 3,198,802), as disclosed in Note 11.

The consolidated entity’s accounting policy in respect of exploration and evaluation expenditure is outlined in Note 1.

Significant judgement is required:

  • in determining whether facts and circumstances indicate that the exploration and evaluation assets should be tested for impairment in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources (“AASB 6”); and

  • in determining the treatment of exploration and evaluation expenditure in accordance with AASB 6, and the consolidated entity’s accounting policy. In particular:

  • whether the particular areas of interest meet the recognition conditions for an asset; and

  • which elements of exploration and evaluation expenditures qualify for capitalisation for each area of interest.

Our work included, but was not limited to, the following procedures:

Conducting a detailed review of management’s assessment of impairment trigger events prepared in accordance with AASB 6 including:

  • assessing whether the rights to tenure of the areas of interest remained current at reporting date as well as confirming that rights to tenure are expected to be renewed for tenements that will expire in the near future;

  • holding discussions with the Directors and management as to the status of ongoing exploration programmes for the areas of interest, as well as assessing if there was evidence that a decision had been made to discontinue activities in any specific areas of interest;

  • obtaining and assessing evidence of the consolidated entity’s future intention for the areas of interest, including reviewing future budgeted expenditure and related work programmes;

  • considering whether exploration activities for the areas of interest had reached a stage where a reasonable assessment of economically recoverable reserves existed;

  • testing, on a sample basis, exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred during the year for compliance with AASB 6 and the consolidated entity’s accounting policy; and

  • assessing the appropriateness of the related disclosures in Notes 1 and 11.

PKF Perth

2. Share Based Payments

Why significant

For the year ended 30 June 2021 the value of share based payments issued totalled $1,013,040 as disclosed in Note 4 and 15. This has been recognised as a share-based payment expense in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income for $534,979 and within issued capital in the Statement of Financial Position as a share issue cost for $478,061.

The consolidated entity’s accounting judgement and estimates in respect of share based payments is outlined in Note 1(f). Significant judgement is required in relation to:

  • The valuation method used in the model; and The assumptions and inputs used within the model.

==> picture [143 x 120] intentionally omitted <==

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Our work included, but was not limited to, the following procedures:

  • Reviewed the independent expert’s valuations of the equ instruments issued, including:

  • ensuring the independence of the independent expert;

  • o assessing the credentials of the independent expert;

  • assessing the appropriateness of the valuation method used; and

  • assessing the reasonableness of the assumptions and inputs used within the valuation model.

  • Reviewed Board meeting minutes and ASX announcements as well as enquired of relevant personnel to ensure all share based payments had been recognised;

  • Assessed the allocation and recognition to ensure reasonable; and

  • Assessed the appropriateness of the related disclosures in Notes 1(f), 4 and 15.

Other Information

Those charged with governance are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the consolidated entity’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2021, 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, with the exception of the Remuneration Report.

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 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.

In preparing the financial report, the Directors are responsible for assessing the consolidated 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 consolidated entity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

PKF Perth

==> picture [143 x 120] intentionally omitted <==

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 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 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated entity to express an opinion on the group financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group 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, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.

PKF Perth

==> picture [143 x 120] intentionally omitted <==

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

Opinion

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2021.

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Global Lithium Resources Limited for the year ended 30 June 2021, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.

Responsibilities

The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 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.
