1 Key Highlights

The Directors of Great Boulder Resources Ltd (Great Boulder, GBR or the Company) are pleased to present the Annual Report for the Financial Year to 30 June 2021.

The past year has been transformational for Great Boulder. The Blue Poles discovery at Whiteheads was confirmed by reverse circulation (RC) drilling in late 2020, followed by the discovery of high-grade zones at the Mulga Bill prospect at Side Well. Mulga Bill is shaping up as a company-making opportunity, with indications of significant size potential and extremely high-grade gold zones. Mineralisation is open along strike in both directions.

Highlights during the year include:

• Very high grade RC intersections in early drilling at Side Well

• 3m @ 34.5g/t Au from 32m (21MBAC022)

• 6m @ 31.2g/t Au from 130m (21BPRC002)

• 8m @ 7.51g/t Au from 68m (21MBRC016)

• The Blue Poles gold discovery at Whiteheads, with gold mineralisation defined in a broad, shallow zone over 600m of strike with drill hits such as

• 40m @ 1.18g/t Au from 40m (21BPRC004)

• 40m @ 1.15g/t Au from 44m, including 24m @ 1.54g/t Au (21BPRC014)

• 36m @ 1.09g/t Au from 28m, including 8m @ 2.20g/t Au (21BPRC008)

Subsequent to the end of financial year the Company reported a spectacular intersection of 3m @ 149.89g/t Au at Side Well within a broader zone of 14m @ 36.12g/t Au from 91m (21MBRC034). That hole also intersected a second, lower zone assaying 6m @ 24.33g/t Au.

In light of the ongoing success at both gold projects the Directors decided to exercise the Company’s option to acquire a 75% interest in the Whiteheads and Side Well tenements from Zebina Minerals Pty Ltd.

The results achieved at both projects this year are the result of methodical exploration using all available geophysical and geochemical information to define gold targets as discretely as possible prior to RC drilling. This process allows the Company to maximise exploration efficiency and its success is spectacularly demonstrated with the second RC hole at Mulga Bill intersecting 6m @ 31.2g/t Au from 132m in 21MBRC002.

In April the Company pegged tenements over a very large area of the Earaheedy Basin in Western Australia, a region which has the potential to become a world-class zinc-lead province. The new Wellington Project covers 1,134km[2] including a 60km strike extent of the prospective Frere Formation. The tenements are expected to be granted during the coming year.

Subsequent to the end of the reporting year the Company announced its intention to demerge the Yamarna base metals projects into a new stand-alone entity, Cosmo Metals Ltd, which will be dedicated to advancing the discoveries at Mt Venn, Eastern Mafic and also Winchester. Cosmo Metals is expected to be listed on the ASX in late 2021.

2 Review of Operations

SIDE WELL GOLD PROJECT

The Side Well project consists of a single tenement E51/1905, located east-northeast of Meekatharra in Western Australia. Side Well covers an area of 132km[2] including approximately 25km of strike coverage over the Meekatharra-Wydgee greenstone belt.

==> picture [251 x 370] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 2: Side Well location map.

The Meekatharra region is a highly prospective goldfield, having produced around 4 million ounces of gold with more than 2.7 million ounces remaining in published resources[1] . Gold production has mainly focused on the western side of the greenstone belt, where gold is often hosted in banded iron formation (BIF).

The Polelle Syncline is an area dominated by intermediate volcaniclastics. Side Well lies within the eastern limb of the syncline and is partially blanketed by a thin layer of alluvial cover. As a result, the project remains vastly under-explored relative to its gold potential.

After acquiring an option to explore Side Well in July 2020 the Company commenced drilling the following month, with a 12-hole RC validation program testing grade continuity around previous intersections drilled by Doray Minerals. Immediately after this an Air-Core (AC) rig was mobilised to site to commence the first of three large campaigns of infill drilling.

Much of the historic drilling is on drill lines 400m apart and there is no detailed assay or geological information to confirm the strike, dip or depth extent of gold mineralisation at Mulga Bill. With a broad diffuse halo of supergene gold anomalism sitting in the weathered zone over a potential bedrock target area 3.7km long and 600m wide, targeting primary mineralisation accurately at depth was a significant

challenge. This challenge was overcome by drilling a pattern of AC holes to blade refusal in order to sample the top of the fresh rock – often 90 to 110m down-hole – and assay the samples for a suite of 48 pathfinder elements. The Company was able to generate contours of pathfinder elements associated with primary gold mineralisation, narrowing down the prospect area to a series of discrete, north-south-trending gold targets.

Having completed over 160 AC holes at Side Well, mainly in the central portion of the Mulga Bill prospect, the Company commenced testing the primary targets with RC drilling in early 2021. This drilling led to immediate success, with hole 21MBRC002 intersecting a 6m zone averaging 31.2g/t Au beneath an AC hole (21MBAC022) which intersected 3m @ 24.5g/t Au.

By June 30, 46 RC holes had been completed in the central area of Mulga Bill, defining two sub-parallel mineralised zones up to 1,000m long immediately south of a Proterozoic dyke which bisects the prospect. These target zones are the priority for ongoing RC drilling, while AC programs continue to extend Mulga Bill along strike to the north and south.

Figure 3: Recent RC drilling results from the central Mulga Bill high-grade zones.

Analysis of Great Boulder’s multi-element geochemical data by consulting geochemist Dr Scott Halley led to a breakthrough in June this year. The geochemistry demonstrates a strong association between gold and the pathfinder elements bismuth, molybdenum and silver as well as copper and arsenic. This association is a classic geochemical signature of intrusive-related gold systems (IRGS), a style of deposit not previously recognised at Meekatharra. This development is an extremely positive advance in the Company’s understanding of Mulga Bill, as IRGS deposits tend to have significant depth continuity as well as size potential. St Ives in the Kambalda area of Western Australia is a well-known cluster of large IRGS deposits. However the Company is still working to better understand the scale of Mulga Bill before making any specific comparisons.

Subsequent to 30 June 2021 the Company completed a detailed gravity survey over the Side Well project in order to define possible magmatic intrusions at depth beneath Mulga Bill; the theoretical “heat engines” driving the regional mineralising system. Final processing and interpretation of the gravity data is still in progress.

At Mulga Bill the Company has defined gold and pathfinder anomalism over more than 5km of strike, with the system open to the north and south as well as at depth. Given the size and depth potential of the system as well as the very high-grade structures already identified in early drilling, Mulga Bill has potential to be a transformational discovery for Great Boulder.

Outside of Mulga Bill the Company’s exploration strategy at Side Well is designed to identify and progress a pipeline of prospects, from conceptual targets through to discovery and definition. Current targets include Matilda, which was discovered in regional drilling by Doray Minerals with an intersection of 3m @ 35.5g/t Au from 76m in hole MNAC0463. There has been insufficient drilling to understand the mineralisation style and potential at Matilda, but this intersection remains open along strike with no effective drilling within 400m to the north or south.

Elsewhere, the northern end of the Side Well project contains a number of conceptual structural target areas, where small intrusive bodies and cross-cutting faults disrupt the prospective mafic-banded iron formation stratigraphy. A broad-spaced soil sampling program completed in April 2021 on a 400m (north-south) by 50m (east-west) grid identified a number of pathfinder anomalies which are now being infilled with additional soil sampling to 200 by 50m prior to initial drill testing.

WHITEHEADS GOLD PROJECT

The 450km[2] Whiteheads project north of Kalgoorlie is an amalgamation of tenements including a farm-in agreement with Mithril Resources Ltd on the western half of Whiteheads and a 75% joint venture with Zebina Minerals Pty Ltd in the east. Both agreements were executed in late 2019.

Whiteheads is a large project with significant potential for gold and nickel. Straddling the boundary between the Kalgoorlie and Kurnalpi terranes, Whiteheads has previously been explored for komatiite-hosted nickel at the Wishbone and Drumstick prospects within the Kalgoorlie Terrane. The Carr Boyd nickel project in the Kurnalpi Terrane immediately north of Whitehead highlights untested potential for magmatic-hosted nickel sulphides. The project includes a number of small-scale historic workings dating back to the early 1900’s particularly on the trend running from Seven Leaders in the north-eastern area of Whiteheads down to the Gindalbie mining centre in the southeast.

Much of the exploration conducted by previous explorers at Whiteheads has focused on gold exploration on the eastern half of the project, within the Kurnalpi terrane, and nickel exploration on the western half within the Kalgoorlie terrane. Interestingly, this means that a large portion of the western side of Whiteheads has received very little attention from gold explorers.

Figure 5: Whiteheads project location.

Great Boulder’s exploration at Whiteheads has been primarily focused on the gold potential. Initial auger sampling and drilling on the Arsenal Trend in the north-eastern area of Whiteheads led to the discovery of Blue Poles, which was defined by three rounds of RC drilling from late 2020. Blue Poles is a broad, plunging cigarshaped shoot of gold mineralisation up to 45m wide over a strike extent of approximately 600m, with recent deeper drilling to the south indicating potential for higher grade primary mineralisation to the south.

A detailed gravity survey completed in early 2021 confirmed the Arsenal Trend as a significant regional structure, with a corridor of interpreted felsic intrusions plunging south and driving mineralisation along the trend. In addition to the gravity interpretation, further evidence of this system is provided by high-temperature mineral alteration seen in petrography at Blue Poles on the northern end of the trend, with lowtemperature multi-element geochemistry seen in auger sampling at the southern end of the trend. This data supports Great Boulder’s model of a large-scale system driving mineralising fluids from north to south, parallel to regional

stratigraphy, reflected in a temperature gradient from north to south as well as the surface gold anomalism identified in work completed to date.

With an overall potential strike length of approximately 22km stretching from the Gunners prospect in the north to the Four Dudes prospect in the south, much of the Arsenal Trend has not yet been tested by either soil geochemistry or drilling. The southernmost line of AC drilling situated between the cross-cutting Proterozoic dykes is less than halfway down the trend. Great Boulder is hoping to find a number of Blue Poles-type discoveries down this trend which remains a key priority for ongoing exploration at Whiteheads.

Figure 6: A gravity image showing the eastern side of Whiteheads demonstrates the size potential of the Arsenal Trend.

Away from the Arsenal Trend, regional target generation and auger sampling is continuing on a number of priority areas. Recent auger sampling has returned encouraging results at Jubilee North and Hillsborough, with ongoing programs further west in the Wishbone area and in the south-east near the historic Eclipse workings.

At Jubilee North, a broad semi-circular magnetic feature with coincident auger anomalism in a conceptual “pressure shadow” position on the eastern side, first-pass AC drilling on two wide-spaced fences returned a best result of 4m @ 2.11g/t Au from 52m in hole 21WHAC809. This result from initial drilling on such a large target area is very encouraging and further work is planned.

Figure 7: The Jubilee North prospect has previously been interpreted as a circular porphyry intrusion. Anomalous gold mineralisation occupies a possible pressure shadow position on the south-eastern side of the feature.

While exploration results during the year have positioned Side Well as the number one priority for ongoing exploration, Great Boulder remains focused on continuing the systematic exploration of Whiteheads in parallel with drilling programs at Side Well. Whiteheads is an extremely prospective exploration project which remains highly under-explored relative to its potential.

- WELLINGTON ZINC LEAD PROJECT

The Wellington Project is located in the Earaheedy Bason in central Western Australia, an area with the potential to become a world-class zinc-lead province.

A desktop study of GSWA derived geochemical data by Great Boulder's geologists in 2020 identified a large target in the Earaheedy Basin similar to Rumble Resources' recent large-scale Zn-Pb discovery at Chinook. With increased focus on the Earaheedy following significant exploration success by Rumble in early 2021, Great Boulder made the decision to peg this target in April 2021.

At Wellington the Company has three tenements covering an area of 1,134km[2] including 60km of prospective strike of the Frere Formation. The tenements are currently in application. Once granted, Great Boulder will commence exploration with field reconnaissance and surface sampling to identify targets for drill testing.

Given the scale of Rumble's early stage discovery, Great Boulder considers the Earaheedy Basin to be potentially a world-class Mississippi Valley-type (MVT) Zn-Pb province.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF GREAT BOULDER RESOURCES LIMITED

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Great Boulder 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 year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors' declaration.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance 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 year then ended; and

• (ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report.

We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

Key Audit Matter	How our audit addressed this matter
Share-based payment Refer to Note 17(b) in the financial statements
During the year, the Company granted 21,251,600 options. The fair value of options granted during the year was:  $864,377 of which $106,127 was expensed in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income;  $605,714 capitalised as exploration and evaluation expenditure in the consolidated statement of financial position, and  $348,963 recognised as share issue costs in the statement of changes in equity. Management have accounted for these arrangements in accordance with AASB 2 Share- based Payment and used an option pricing model to value the options issued during the year. We considered this to be a key audit matter due to the complex and significant judgement involved in assessing the fair value of the share-based payments	Our audit procedures included:  Reviewing the key terms and conditions of the share-based payments arrangements;  Obtaining the valuation models prepared by management and assessing whether the models were appropriate for valuing the options granted during the year;  Checking the mathematical accuracy of the computation;  Challenging the reasonableness of key assumptions used by management relative to the valuation on measurement date including assessing the volatility rate applied and the risk- free interest rate used; and  Reviewing the adequacy and accuracy of the relevant disclosures in the financial statements.

Other Information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group's annual report for the year ended 30 June 2021, but does not include the financial report and the auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

==> picture [118 x 62] 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 the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.

12 Notes to the Financial Statements

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Great Boulder Resources Limited (the “Company”) and its legal subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as the Group.

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.

Great Boulders Resources Limited is a for profit public Company, limited by shares and domiciled in Australia.

New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

The Group has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.

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, have not been early adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2021. The Group's has not yet assessed the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations.

(a) Basis of preparation

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australia Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

The financial report was authorised for issue on 29 September 2021 by the Board of Directors.

The functional and presentation currency of Great Boulder Resources Limited is Australian Dollars.

The directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and extinguishment of liabilities in the normal course of business.

Historical cost convention

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Great Boulder Resources Limited (‘Company' or 'Parent Entity') as at 30 June 2021 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Great Boulder Resources Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'Group'.

Great Boulder Resources Limited – Annual Report 2021

36

==> picture [172 x 39] intentionally omitted <==

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the Group are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent.

Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of changes in equity of the Group. Losses incurred by the Group are attributed to the non-controlling interest in full, even if that results in a deficit balance.

Where the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and noncontrolling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The Group recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss.

(b) Income tax

The Group adopts the liability method of tax-effect accounting whereby the income tax expense is based on the profit adjusted for any non-assessable or disallowed items.

Deferred tax is accounted for using the statement of balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the statement of comprehensive income except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.

The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the Group will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

(c) Revenue recognition

Interest revenue

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.

Great Boulder Resources Limited – Annual Report 2021

37

==> picture [172 x 39] intentionally omitted <==

Other revenue

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

(d) Government grants

Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in profit or less over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate.

(e) 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 current when: it is expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within twelve 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 twelve months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is current when: it is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

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

(f) 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.

(g) Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis less depreciation and impairment losses.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Great Boulder Resources Limited – Annual Report 2021

38

==> picture [172 x 39] intentionally omitted <==

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the assets’ employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all plant and equipment is depreciated on a diminishing value over their useful lives to the Group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:

Class of Fixed Asset Depreciation Rate Plant and Equipment 10-33%

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

An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the statement of comprehensive income.

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

The entity 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.

(i) Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the 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.

Great Boulder Resources Limited – Annual Report 2021

39

==> picture [172 x 39] intentionally omitted <==

(j) Equity-based payments

Equity-based compensation benefits can be provided to suppliers and employees.

The fair value of options granted is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in contributed equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the recipient becomes unconditionally entitled to the options.

The fair value at grant date is independently determined using an option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the vesting and performance criteria, the impact of dilution, the nontradeable nature of the option, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected divided yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option.

(k) Earnings per share

i. Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Group, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.

ii. 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.

(l) Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the board of directors.

(m) Impairment of assets

Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortisation 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. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units).

(n) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other shortterm, 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, and bank overdrafts.

Great Boulder Resources Limited – Annual Report 2021

40

==> picture [172 x 39] intentionally omitted <==

(o) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount has been reliably estimated.

(p) GST

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

Receivables and payables are stated as inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

(q) Lease liabilities

A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the entity's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the 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 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.

(r) Borrowings

Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Where there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date, the loans or borrowings are classified as non-current.

The component of the convertible notes that exhibits characteristics of a liability is recognised as a liability in the statement of financial position, net of transaction costs.

(s) Finance costs

Finance costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the asset. All other finance costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred, including interest on short-term and long-term borrowings.

Great Boulder Resources Limited – Annual Report 2021

41

==> picture [172 x 39] intentionally omitted <==

(t) 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.

(u) Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.

The Group has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days overdue.

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses.

(v) Employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

Other long-term employee benefits

The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

Defined contribution superannuation expense

Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Share based payments

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

(w) Parent entity information

In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , these financial statements present the results of the Group only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in Note 28.

2. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events; management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.

Exploration and evaluation costs

Exploration and evaluation costs have been capitalised on the basis that the Group will commence commercial production in the future, from which time the costs will be amortised in proportion to the depletion of the mineral resources. Key judgements are applied in considering costs to be capitalised which includes determining expenditures directly related to these activities and allocating overheads between those that are expensed and capitalised. In addition, costs are only capitalised that are expected to be recovered either through successful development or sale of the relevant mining interest. Factors that could impact the future commercial production at the mine include the level of reserves and resources, future technology changes, which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes and changes in commodity prices. To the extent that capitalised costs are determined not to be recoverable in the future, they will be written off in the period in which this determination is made.

Share based payment transactions

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with suppliers and employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. 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.

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 the products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the consolidated entity operates. 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 Group unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

3. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the board of directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources.

The Group operates as a single segment which is mineral exploration and in a single geographical location which is Australia.

• (i) The Company incurred acquisition costs relating to the following projects:

a. Whiteheads Project:

In the prior year, on 23 August 2019, the Company had entered into an agreement with Zebina Minerals Pty Ltd (“Zebina”) granting the Company with the exclusive right to acquire a 75% legal and beneficial interest in exploration licences E27/544, E27/588 and E27/622 (together the “Whiteheads Project”).

• 980,392 fully paid ordinary shares with a fair value of $50,000 (refer to note 17).

On 23 February 2021, the Company exercised its option to acquire a 75% legal and beneficial interest in the Whiteheads Project.

Total consideration of $805,714 comprised of;

• $200,000 cash,

• 5,714,286 fully paid ordinary shares with a fair value of $200,000 (refer to note 17), and

• 5,714,286 options exercisable at $0.0542 each expiring 19 May 2024 with a fair value of $405,714 (refer to note 17).

• (ii) In the prior year, the Company relinquished the Tarmoola Joint Venture ($1,069,714), Mt Carlon Project ($365,621) and Mt Jewell Project ($99,086). As such, the capitalised mineral exploration and evaluation expenditure in relation to these areas of interest has been impaired.

In the current year, the Company recognised a receivable under the Research and Development Tax Incentive, of which $109,918 related to areas of interest that were previously impaired.

The ultimate recoupment of exploration and evaluation expenditure carried forward is dependent on successful development and commercial exploration or, alternatively, sale of the respective areas.

Risk Exposures and Responses

(a) Interest rate risk exposure

The Group is not exposed to interest rate risk.

(b) Credit risk exposure

Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Group, which comprise deposits with banks and trade and other receivables. The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises from potential default of the counter party, with the maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. The carrying amount of financial assets included in the statement of financial position represents the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to those assets.

The Group does not hold any credit derivatives to offset its credit exposure.

The Group trades only with recognised, credit worthy third parties and as such collateral is not requested nor is it the Company’s policy to securities it trades and other receivables.

Receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group does not have a significant exposure to bad debts.

There are no significant concentrations of credit risk within the Company.

(c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk arises from the financial liabilities of the Group and the Group’s subsequent ability to meet their obligations to repay their financial liabilities as and when they fall due.

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and, the availability of funding through the ability to raise further equity or through related party entities. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, the Board aims at maintaining flexibility in funding through management of its cash resources. The Group has no financial liabilities at the year-end other than normal trade and other payables incurred in the general course of business.

Remaining contractual maturities

The following tables detail the Group's remaining contractual maturity for its financial instrument liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the financial liabilities are required to be paid. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows disclosed as remaining contractual maturities and therefore these totals may differ from their carrying amount in the statement of financial position.
