Review of Operations
During the half year, the Group was focussed on its prospective gold targets at its Mt Stirling and Mt Stirling Well gold projects in Leonora, Western Australia. The Company announced a material upgrade to the Mt Stirling Mineral Resource Estimate as well as focussing on drilling and interpretation of the Mt Stirling and Mt Stirling Well drilling results. The Company has also been focused on securing financing for the acquisition of the Tarmoola Pastoral Station and Mining Services business.
– Mt Stirling Gold Project Mineral Resource Estimate Update
Torian’s flagship Mt Stirling Project is situated approximately 40km NW of Leonora, and neighbours Red 5’s Kind of the Hills mine. The region has recently produced approximately 14M oz of gold from mines such as Tower Hills, Sons of Gwalia, Thunderbox, Harbour Lights and Gwalia.
During the Period the Company engaged resource estimate consultants BMGS to conduct an interim JORC resource estimate upgrade incorporating results from 85 recent drill holes with the intention of expanding the inferred resource estimate at Mt Stirling and inferred resource estimate at Mt Stirling Well.
Mt Stirling Interim Mineral Resource Estimate ( MRE ) increased by 200% to 2.05M tonnes @ 1.54 g/t Au for 102,000 ounces including 20,000 Indicated ounces from surface (using a 0.5 g/t gold cut-off) (Table 1).
The MRE was classified as Indicated and Inferred based on drill density, geological understanding, grade continuity and economic parameters of Open Pit mining. The May 2021 MRE contains 2,050K tonnes at 1.5 g/t Au for 102,000 ounces using a 0.5 g/t gold lower reporting cut-off.
| Category | Tonnes | Au | Ounces |
|---|---|---|---|
| Indicated | 355,000 | 1.7 | 20,000 |
| Inferred | 1,695,000 | 1.5 | 82,000 |

Table 1. May 2021 Mineral Resource Estimate at a cut-off of 0.5 g/t– (Rounded to 2 significant figures)
The Mt Stirling MRE is based on recent and historic reverse circulation (RC) and diamond (DH) drill hole data. Re-sampling and re-logging has also been completed by Torian staff on historical diamond core. The MRE utilised 68 RC holes and 4 diamond to create 3-dimensional (3D) mineralisation wireframes and weathering surfaces. The interpretation was then used to flag drilling data to be used in estimation of grades into a block model constructed using the Geovia Surpac software package (Surpac). The mineralisation interpretation was completed on 40 metre (m) spaced drilling, using a nominal 0.5 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) lower cut-off.
| **Hole Type ** | Number of holes | Total meters |
|---|---|---|
| RC | 68 | 12,522.00 |
| DD | 4 | 1,757.65 |
| Total | 72 | 14,279.65 |
Table 2. Drill hole types in dataset
Historical samples were assayed using 40g or 50g charge lead collection Fire Assay with atomic absorption spectrometry finish (AAS finish) or Aqua Regia. Current samples were assayed using 500g Photon Assay (Photon) by MinAnalytical.
A total of 135 samples were assayed using Photon that represent the spread of grade found within the orebody, were sent to another lab (Nagron) to be re-assayed using Fire Assay. Mineralisation wireframes were created in Surpac. The wireframes consist of a main lode (domain 1) that strikes towards 315° and dips steeply the northwest. Some smaller ancillary lodes were created where mineralisation outside of the main lode was continuous enough to be joined across sections (domains 2 and 3). Any anomalous grade that could not be joined across sections was included in domain 99 that will not be used in reporting due to the lack of confidence in lodes based on insufficient intersection points. A nominal cut-off of 0.5 g/t gold was used to define mineralisation boundaries; however, lower grades were sometimes included to maintain continuity. The mineralised lodes were flagged to the model in the “domain” attribute.

Table 2. MRE Tonnage grade tabulation
The classification of the MRE is based on geological confidence, mineralisation continuity and likelihood of economic extraction. Further work will focus on the following:
-
Improving drilling density to allow for collection of geological and grade data.
-
Completion of Open Pit optimisation studies using current mining metrics to ensure MRE classification assumptions are valid.
-
Completion of Metallurgical test work on mineralisation from the project to understand recovery implication relating to likely milling processes.
-
Ongoing QAQC of data collection process to ensure all information is valid and relevant to project.

These additional multiple shallow mineralised gold intercepts were not included in the recent Interim MRE update. Intercepts provide multiple follow-up, in-fill and extensional drilling opportunities with further Optimisation Studies to assess modelling and extraction potential.
Extensional and in-fill drill planning continues on mineral domains such as the Hanging Wall Zone lower segments, parts of the Viserion Zone, and other mineral zones which were not included in the Interim MRE Update due to sparse drill spacing and mineralised sample assays yet to be received and reported which may confirm continuity of further mineralised zones between drill holes and sections.

Drill planning and further structural and geological mapping over the significant ~500m strike (>10ppm and up to 125ppm) arsenic surface anomaly Hydra mineralisation discovery 1.25 km further along strike to the NW of Viserion and is likely a surface expression of the Mt Stirling gold system.
If continuous, the Mt Stirling Gold system strike would exceed 2.25km. Significant arsenic anomalies have also been defined (pXRF) ~200m SE and ~500m NW of Interim Resource Estimate boundary, implying continuity of the gold system to both the SE & NW.
The Mt Stirling Gold System footprint continues to track on par and is consistent with regional significant discoveries, e.g. St Barbara’s (ASX:SBM) 4.8Moz Gwalia Mine and Northern Star’s (ASX:NST) 3.8Moz Thunderbox Mine, with the Mt Stirling gold system remaining open in all directions.

Tarmoola Station Acquisition
During the last quarter of 2020 the Company advised that via its wholly owned subsidiary Tarmoola Holdings Pty Ltd ( THP ) it had entered into an exclusive option agreement to purchase the 172,662Ha (424,748 Acre) Tarmoola Station. During the Period Torian exercised its option to purchase the 172,662 Ha (424,748 acre) Tarmoola Station and associated mining services business “Carhill Contracting”.
The purchase of the Tarmoola station is seen as a crucial step towards fast-tracking the exploration of and potential mining production at the Mt Stirling Gold Project as there are substantial access benefits in holding pastoral leases.
The majority of Torian’s Mt Stirling Gold Project including the Mt Stirling, Stirling Well, numerous historical Au workings, and much of the Diorite prospects and historical mines and workings, falls within the bounds of Tarmoola Station. Approximately 50% of the pastoral lease is covered by mining / exploration leases, with the station hosting numerous operating and abandoned mines including Red 5 Ltd’s KOTH Operation; Round Oak Minerals Jaguar Project and the operating Bentley underground mine.
The station currently contains a 20-person camp with approvals in place as well as infrastructure already built to expand to a 50-person accommodation facility. The Pastoral Lease also includes the 10 Mile Outcamp accommodation facility, in the NE of the property, and is serviced by the Goldfields Highway and a myriad of pastoral access tracks, including the Agnew and Darlot access roads. The station is neighboured by Nambi Station – leased by Glencore Mining, and Melrose Station leased by Red 5 Ltd.
==> picture [423 x 294] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 6. Tarmoola Exploration Camp (NW view)
Since 2018 the owners have invested in excess of $1,000,000 in infrastructure upgrades across the Station including maintaining and upgrading 34 automated solar powered wells out of 42 existing wells that draw from the abundant water resource of the Tarmoola Aquifer.
In addition to the pastoral lease and camp, the station agreement includes a number of revenue generating assets, including approximately 700 heads of cattle, a continuous $360,000 per annum of carbon credits and a mining services business “Carhill Contracting” which is cash flow positive and includes plant and machinery assets valued at approximately $700,000. In the last 12 months Carhill Contracting’s customers have included Red 5 (ASX:RED), St Barbara Ltd (ASX:SBM), Round Oak Mining (ASX:SOL) amongst other regional explorers.
The revenue earned from carbon credits is as a result of the delivery and sale of Australian Carbon Credit Units ascribed to the Pastoral Station pursuant to the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative) Act 2011 (Cth) .

About Tarmoola Station
Tarmoola Station is a pastoral lease located about 25 kilometres north west of Leonora and 100 kilometres south of Leinster in the Goldfields of Western Australia. The western boundary of Tarmoola adjoins Sturt Meadows Station.
The property was established on land that was previously owned by the Leonora Pastoral Company but had remained largely undeveloped. Reuben McBride inspected the area and took up a lease over approximately 500,000 acres in 1923. Together with W. G. Hawkes, McBride formed the Tarmoola Pastoral Company in 1924 and embarked on an improvement program. Shortly afterward some 240,000 acres was fenced and several bores sunk.
Further information regarding the station can be found on its Wikipedia page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarmoola_Station

Corporate
Mt Monger & Gibraltar Projects Spin-off
In order to further focus its funds and resources in the Leonora region, the Company proposed to spin off its assets located in other regions, whilst still maintaining Torian shareholders’ exposure to its upside.
On 27 April 2021, the Company advised that the Prospectus for Monger Gold Limited ( Monger Gold ) (ASX:MMG) was lodged with ASIC. Torian Shareholders on the register on 6 April 2021 received priority in the IPO Offer. The offer closed on 28 April 2021 being twice over subscribed and subsequent to the Quarter end on 2 July 2021, MMG was admitted to the official list of ASX Limited.
Torian retains approximately 10% of Monger Gold Ltd plus a 20% free carried JV interest in the projects.
Mt Malcolm Option Exercised
Torian announced on 1 June 2021 that Mt Malcolm Mines NL ( Mt Malcolm ), through its wholly-owned subsidiary Mt Malcolm Gold Holdings Pty Ltd, had exercised its option to acquire Torian’s non-core tenements located in the Leonora district of Western Australia. The tenements comprise the Malcolm, Mt George, Mt Stewart, Rabbit Warren South, Braemore and Calypso Prospects (Malcolm Project).
Pursuant to the agreement previously announced on 14 April 2020, Torian granted Mt Malcolm an exclusive eighteen-month option to acquire the Mt Malcolm Project for consideration of $350,000 cash which has been received.

Investment in BullionFX
Torian announced on 15 March 2021 that it had entered into an agreement to make a strategic investment into BullionFX, a leading blockchain company focused on developing blockchain based currencies backed by precious metals (https://www.bullionfx.com).
BullionFX is developing a decentralised digital gold registry linked to global wholesale spot market liquidity, surrounded by institutional grade protections including insurance, audit and storage, allowing users to use physical gold as a mechanism for payment, trade and storage of wealth. BullionFX is developing a goldbacked cryptocurrency token that it intends to list on as yet decided secondary market exchanges and forex platforms in the future and launch a suite of payment and debt solutions. BullionFX are currently at the stage of developing ‘smart contracts’ (this a technical term for the code that goes into blockchain).
Subject to certain conditions, Torian, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Torian Bullion Pty Ltd has agreed to subscribe for 5 million shares in BullionFX at an issue price of US$0.20 per share (Share Subscription Agreement). Torian will settle the investment via the issue of US$1M Torian ordinary shares at the average of the 5-day Volume Weighted Average Price of Torian’s shares (VWAP) prior to the execution of the Share Subscription Agreement, being 27,711,968 Torian shares (on a VWAP of $0.04562), to be issued pursuant to the Company’s existing capacity under listing rule 7.1 ( Share Subscription Agreement ).
The Share Subscription Agreement is subject to any regulatory approvals required, Torian will only issue the Share Consideration to BullionFX subject to BullionFX listing its shares and/or the gold-back cryptocurrency token it is developing onto an as yet decided secondary market at a minimum price of US50¢ per share noting however the valuation and jurisdiction is yet to be decided by BullionFX. In addition, in the event BullionFX is bought out at a minimum price of US50¢ per share, the Share Consideration will also be issued.
Following the issuance of Torian shares to BullionFX, the share consideration received by both companies will be subject to a 12-month voluntary escrow period. The escrow of Torian’s shares in BullionFX will not apply in the event BullionFX is the subject of a successful takeover.
Additionally, Torian will receive 10 million fully paid ordinary shares in BullionFX for nominating a representative to join BullionFX’s board of advisors (Advisor Shares) bringing Torian’s total interest in BullionFX to 15 million ordinary shares on completion of Share Subscription Agreement. Torian has nominated Executive Director Mr Peretz Schapiro as its representative on the BullionFX Advisory board.
Share and Option Placement
In March 2021 Torian advised that it had received binding commitments for a placement raising $4.0 million to local and international sophisticated investors and long-term shareholders through the issue of approximately 72.7 million fully paid ordinary shares together with a 1-for-3 attaching option. Funds raised will ensure that drilling will continue unabated at the Mt Stirling Gold Project throughout 2021.
The Placement comprised the issue of approximately 72,727,263 new shares to raise up to $4 million before costs at an issue price of $0.055 per share to sophisticated and professional investors. The Placement included an attaching listed option exercisable at $0.02 expiring on 7 February 2022 on the basis of one option for every three Placement shares issued.
This issue price was at a 5.17% discount to the last traded share price of $0.058. The Placement Shares were issued pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A and the Placement Options were issued pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. Settlement occurred in two tranches on 1 April and 23 April 2021. The Placement Shares will rank equally alongside existing fully paid ordinary shares currently on issue.
Appointment & Resignation of Auditor
During the Period the Company advised that BDO Audit Pty Ltd (BDO) had been appointed as the Company’s auditors with effect from 22 January 2021. This appointment follows the resignation of RSM Australia Partners. The Board’s decision to change auditors was made following a tendering process and consideration of the Auditor’s location relative to the Company’s management.

Matters Subsequent to the End of the Half Year
Subsequent to the reporting date on 3 August 2021 the Company advised it has secured funding to acquire Tarmoola Station. The Company entered into a financing facility with RiverFort Global Opportunities PCC Ltd ( RiverFort ) on the following material terms:
| Maximum value of the facility: | $3.27 million. |
|---|---|
| Cash available under the | $3.0 million (being 91.74% of the maximum value). |
| facility: | |
| Implementation fee: | 3% of the drawdown amount. |
| Drawdown availability: | $3.049 million (before costs) of the facility is available immediately. The |
| balance of the facility will become available subject to the Company obtaining | |
| shareholder approval for the conversion of the balance of the facility (being | |
| $0.221 million before costs). | |
| Maturity date: | 12 months from drawdown. |
| Repayment schedule: | Monthly repayments amounts commencing 3 months after drawdown |
| comprising $275,000 (months 3-6 inclusive), $361,666 (months 7-11 inclusive) | |
| with final outstanding amount payable month 12. | |
| Conversion right: | RiverFort has conversion rights to fully paid ordinary shares in the Company |
| (Shares) for the value of the amount drawdown provided that the 5-day | |
| average VWAP for shares in the Company exceeds $0.051 per share. The | |
| conversion price is $0.038 per Share. The Company has the right to repay the | |
| conversion amount in cash rather than issue the conversion Shares. The | |
| Company can also elect to pay to RiverFort the difference between the market | |
| value of the conversion Shares to be issued to RiverFort and the conversion | |
| price either in cash or in Shares. | |
| Redemption: | The Company may redeem early in certain circumstances. |
| The Company can redeem within 7 months of drawdown in which case | |
| RiverFort may elect to convert the redemption amount to Shares if the 5 day | |
| average VWAP of Shares is greater than the conversion price of $0.038 per | |
| Share. | |
| Redemption after 7 months can only occur with the consent of Riverfort. | |
| Options: | The Company has agreed to issue to RiverFort 20 million options to acquire |
| Shares exercisable at $0.042 each within 3 years of issue. The options will not | |
| be listed and are to be issued immediately. The Company is required to seek | |
| shareholder approval to issue the options by no later than 30 September 2021. | |
| The Company is in the process of convening this meeting. Should the | |
| Company not obtain shareholder approval by this date, then the Company is | |
| required to pay an amount (if any) to Riverfort equal to the average of the 10 | |
| highest daily VWAP prices of the shares in the Company between the 29 July | |
| 2021 and 29 July 2024 multiplied by the number of options that should have | |
| been issued (ie 20m), minus the exercise price. |
Shareholder approval: The Company does not currently have sufficient placement capacity for the issue of all of the Shares which may be issued on the conversion of the facility (should that occur). For this reason the Company is only permitted to draw down on $3.049 million of the facility (representing its placement capacity of 80,243,000 shares multiplied by the conversion price of $0.038) with the remaining of the facility (being $0.221m) to be drawn down subject to the
12
Company obtaining shareholder approval to issue the balance of the shares on conversion of this amount (being approximately 5,8 shares). The Company is required to seek shareholder approval for any further issues of securities, which it has agreed to do by no later than 30 September 2021. The Company is in the process of convening this meeting.
Security:
The Company and its subsidiaries have agreed to grant security over all of their respective assets to RiverFort to secure the obligations of the Company under the facility. The securities are on standard terms for securities of this nature.
Escrow securities:
Other terms:
The Company’s Executive Directors, Peretz Schapiro and Paul Summers as well as CFO Michael Melamed have agreed to place their own securities in the Company as well as other personal shares to the cumulative value of ~$1.7m, in an escrow account to give further security to RiverFort. RiverFort may access these securities in the event the Company is in default of its obligations to RiverFort. The escrowed securities are to be released by RiverFort on the earlier of agreement between the parties or the total amount outstanding under the facility being $2,445,000 or less.
The facility contains other terms (including events of default) that are customary for lending facilities of this nature.
No other significant subsequent event has arisen that significantly affect the operations of the Group.

TORIAN RESOURCES LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
Note 1: Basis of Preparation
These general purpose financial statements for the interim half-year reporting period ended 30 June 2021 have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 'Interim Financial Reporting' and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'.
These general purpose financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in annual financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2020 and any public announcements made by the company during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
The principal accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, unless otherwise stated.
The consolidated entity 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
New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The consolidated entity 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
Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business.
As disclosed in the half-year interim financial report, the Group incurred a loss after tax of $1,280,212 and had net cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $685,620 and $4,328,061 respectively for the half-year ended 30 June 2021.
The ability to continue as a going concern and realise its exploration asset is dependent on a number of factors, the most significant of which is obtaining additional funding to fund and complete the exploration activities.
These factors indicate a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt as to whether the Group will continue as a going concern and therefore whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.

ABN 72 002 261 565
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
Note 1: Basis of Preparation (Cont.)
Going Concern (Cont.)
The directors believe that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Group will be able to continue as a going concern, after consideration of the following factors:
-
The group has cash and cash equivalent of $1,817.843 as at 30 June 2021 and net assets of $26,158,919;
-
The Group is exploring the possibility of entering into a number of joint venture arrangements for the development of some of its mining projects;
-
The Group has the ability to scale back its exploration activities should funding not be available continue exploration at its current levels;
-
On the 3 August 2021, the Group entered into a financing facility with RiverFort Global Opportunities PCC Ltd (RiverFort). $3.049 million (before costs) of the facility is available immediately and The balance of the facility will become available subject to the Company obtaining shareholder approval for the conversion of the balance of the facility (being $0.221 million before costs). The maturity date of the facility is 12 months from drawdown. Refer to Matters Subsequent to the End of the Half Year for the details and terms of the facility; and
-
The company has 461,228,112 listed options on issue, the options are exercisable at $0.02 and expire on 7 February 2022. The company believes the options will be converted before expiry which will provide additional and cash equivalent.
Accordingly, the directors believe that the Group will be able to continue as a going concern and that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial report.
The economic uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 outbreak has been considered by the Board in assessing the potential financial impact on the Group’s ability to continue to generate positive cash flows to meet debts as and when they fall due. At the date of this report, the Board are of the opinion that the Group will be successful in managing the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and will continue to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report. Accordingly, the financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the amounts or classification of recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary if the Group does not continue as a going concern.

Note 9: Fair Value Measurement
Valuation Techniques
In the absence of an active market for an identical asset or liability, the Group selects and uses one or more valuation techniques to measure the fair value of the asset or liability. The Group selects a valuation technique that is appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available to measure fair value. The availability of sufficient and relevant data primarily depends on the specific characteristics of the asset or liability being measured.

Maximum value of the facility: $3.27 million. Cash available under the $3.0 million (being 91.74% of the maximum value). facility: Implementation fee: 3% of the drawdown amount. Drawdown availability: $3.049 million (before costs) of the facility is available immediately. The balance of the facility will become available subject to the Company obtaining shareholder approval for the conversion of the balance of the facility (being $0.221 million before costs). Maturity date: 12 months from drawdown. Repayment schedule: Monthly repayments amounts commencing 3 months after drawdown comprising $275,000 (months 3-6 inclusive), $361,666 (months 7-11 inclusive) with final outstanding amount payable month 12.

The conversion price is $0.038 per Share. The Company has the right to repay the conversion amount in cash rather than issue the conversion Shares. The Company can also elect to pay to RiverFort the difference between the market value of the conversion Shares to be issued to RiverFort and the conversion price either in cash or in Shares. Redemption: The Company may redeem early in certain circumstances. The Company can redeem within 7 months of drawdown in which case RiverFort may elect to convert the redemption amount to Shares if the 5 day average VWAP of Shares is greater than the conversion price of $0.038 per Share.

Note 13 Events Subsequent to the Reporting Date
Options: The Company has agreed to issue to RiverFort 20 million options to acquire Shares exercisable at $0.042 each within 3 years of issue. The options will not be listed and are to be issued immediately. The Company is required to seek shareholder approval to issue the options by no later than 30 September 2021. The Company is in the process of convening this meeting. Should the Company not obtain shareholder approval by this date, then the Company is required to pay an amount (if any) to Riverfort equal to the average of the 10 highest daily VWAP prices of the shares in the Company between the 29 July 2021 and 29 July 2024 multiplied by the number of options that should have been issued (ie 20m), minus the exercise price. Shareholder approval: The Company does not currently have sufficient placement capacity for the issue of all of the Shares which may be issued on the conversion of the facility (should that occur). For this reason the Company is only permitted to draw down on $3.049 million of the facility (representing its placement capacity of 80,243,000 shares multiplied by the conversion price of $0.038) with the remaining of the facility (being $0.221m) to be drawn down subject to the Company obtaining shareholder approval to issue the balance of the shares on conversion of this amount (being approximately 5,8 shares). The Company is required to seek shareholder approval for any further issues of securities, which it has agreed to do by no later than 30 September 2021. The Company is in the process of convening this meeting. Security: The Company and its subsidiaries have agreed to grant security over all of their respective assets to RiverFort to secure the obligations of the Company under the facility. The securities are on standard terms for securities of this nature. Escrow securities: The Company’s Executive Directors, Peretz Schapiro and Paul Summers as well as CFO Michael Melamed have agreed to place their own securities in the Company as well as other personal shares to the cumulative value of ~$1.7m, in an escrow account to give further security to RiverFort. RiverFort may access these securities in the event the Company is in default of its obligations to RiverFort. The escrowed securities are to be released by RiverFort on the earlier of agreement between the parties or the total amount outstanding under the facility being $2,445,000 or less. Other terms: The facility contains other terms (including events of default) that are customary for lending facilities of this nature.
COVID-19
The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and while it has not negatively affected the consolidated entity’s financial results and financial position 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.
No other significant subsequent event has arisen that significantly affects the operations of the Group.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT
To the members of Torian Resources Limited
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
Conclusion
We have reviewed the half-year financial report of Torian Resources Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the halfyear ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the accompanying half-year financial report of the Group does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
(i) Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2021 and of its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
(ii) Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity . Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to the audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.
Material uncertainty relating to going concern
We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report which describes the events and/or conditions which give rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the Group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Responsibility of the directors for the financial report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s responsibility for the review of the financial report
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2021 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
