Hawk Resources Limited (Formerly known as Alderan Resources Limited) Review of operations 30 June 2025
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Hawk Resources Limited ( Hawk or the Company ) specialises in critical and precious metal exploration. Its principal activity is searching for copper and gold in the USA and lithium in Brazil. Its Cactus and Detroit projects are located close to infrastructure in Utah, USA and its lithium and rare earth element (REE) projects are in the states of Minas Gerais and Bahia, Brazil (see Figures 1 & 2).
Hawk’s exploration focus during the reporting period was on the Cactus copper-gold project in Utah, USA and the Minas Gerais lithium portfolio in Brazil. As part of its active programme to maintain high quality projects, the Company rationalised its project portfolio and took the following actions:
-
withdrew from a number of option agreements in the Detroit project area;
-
withdrew from the Horn Silver area option south of Cactus;
-
relinquished the White Mountain licences; and
-
relinquished a number of Lithium Exploration Licences in Brazil

CACTUS PROJECT
The Cactus copper-gold project lies 300km south-southwest of Salt Lake City in western Utah. The area was formerly part of Hawk’s larger Frisco project prior to the Company rationalising its tenement position by withdrawing from its option over the Horn Silver area in the south. Frisco was the subject of a farm in agreement with Kennecott Exploration Company ( KEX ), a subsidiary of Rio Tinto, which focused on the discovery of a large-scale long-life porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum deposit. In July 2023, the Company regained 100% ownership of the Frisco Project following termination of the option agreement with KEX[1] .
Hawk’s exploration over the Cactus project in the year ended 30 June 2025 focused on determining the potential for more mineralisation at the historically mined Cactus and Comet copper-gold deposits plus identifying targets which have potential for new high grade Cactus and the more gold rich Comet type deposits and intrusive sources of copper mineralisation. The historical mines in the Cactus district are tourmaline breccia hosted copper-gold deposits which were mined between 19001919. The reported mined grade at Cactus was 2.07% copper and 0.33g/t gold while Comet was more gold rich.
Hawk’s work during the year included:
-
extending the Cactus soil grid to close off pXRF copper anomalies identified in the 2024 soil sampling programme
-
lab verification of pXRF copper in soil anomalies
-
lab gold analysis of soil samples along 1.2km of the Cactus-Comet trend

drilling three diamond drill holes at the New Years prospect.
The New Years prospect three-hole (319m) diamond drilling programme aimed at verifying copper mineralisation intersected in historical holes drilled in 1964 and 2002.[2] This programme successfully verified thick copper mineralisation intersected in the historical holes and confirmed that the host rock is tourmaline breccia, the same rock that hosts the neighbouring Cactus copper-gold deposit.
Hole NY2024-DDH1, designed to verify hole NYM-1 drilled in 2002 which intersected 10.7m @ 1.60% Cu and 4.6m @ 1.3% Cu within 42.7m @ 0.80% Cu from surface, was abandoned at a depth of 47m. The hole traversed fresh, unaltered and unmineralized Cactus Stock intrusive which did not correlate with the oxidized and mineralised rocks logged in NYM-1 hence it was concluded that the co-ordinates on the old drill log were not correct.
Hole NY2024-DDH2 aimed to verify hole NY-6 drilled in 1964 which intersected 13.7m @ 2.32% Cu within 19.8m @ 1.67% Cu from 22.9m downhole. The hole intersected 30.0m of copper oxide mineralisation grading 0.78% Cu from 10m down hole which includes separate zones of 8.0m grading 1.31% Cu and 4.0m grading 1.74% Cu (see Figure 3). The maximum copper grade over a 2m assay interval is 3.25% Cu. The hole was drilled to a depth of 121.3m and intersected tourmaline breccia through its entire length apart from a 10m zone of Cactus Stock granodiorite between 60-70m down hole.
The copper oxide mineralisation consists of malachite, azurite and cuprite which is visible in the core from 10m to a depth of 40m. Chalcopyrite and pyrite sulphide mineralisation is visible in the core at 71-73m and the 2m interval from 72m down hole grades 0.93% copper, 0.23 g/t gold and 47.8ppm silver (Ag). This interval suggests that New Years has potential to replicate the neighbouring Cactus copper-gold deposit with copper-gold rich sulphide mineralisation deeper in the breccia.
Hole NY2024-DDH3 aimed to verify historical hole NY-2 which intersected 10.7m @ 1.52% Cu within 27.4m @ 0.85% Cu from surface. The hole intersected 26m @ 1.31% Cu from surface which includes separate zones of 8m @ 2.82% Cu and 6.0m @ 1.50% Cu (see Figure 4). The maximum copper grade over a 2m assay interval is 4.56% Cu. The hole was collared approximately 25m east of NY2024-DDH2 and intersected azurite and malachite copper oxide mineralisation from surface to a depth of approximately 99m. The mineralisation is hosted in Cactus Stock granodiorite at the top of the hole and extends into tourmaline breccia for the majority of the intersection.
The copper occurs in narrow fractures and as disseminations in the tourmaline matrix. Visible pyrite and chalcopyrite sulphide mineralisation occur from around 37m downhole and extend to the end of the hole at 121.9m. Two narrow zones of anomalous copper and gold occur down the hole with a 2m zone from 56m grading 0.20% Cu, 0.26g/t Au and 23ppm Ag and a 10m zone from 72m grading 0.22% Cu. Gold grades are spotty down the hole with the highest assay 0.33g/t at a depth of 32-34m.

The modelling of magnetic and induced polarization (IP) geophysics data over the Cactus area was aimed at characterising the Cactus deposit and identifying new targets. The magnetics indicate that Cactus deposit mineralisation correlates strongly with a magnetic low signature. Twelve similar magnetic anomalies with potential to be copper mineralised breccia deposits were identified. These anomalies occur in three zones, Northern, Copperopolis and Sigmoid, (see Figure 5) and detailed remodelling provided definitive drill targets.
The magnetics were also used to carry out a structural interpretation of the Cactus project. This work highlights that the Cactus and Comet deposits sit at the intersection of two structures which trend northwest and north-northwest. These are the two prevailing structural directions in the district with the earlier northwest 290[o] trend offset in places by the later north-northwest trend at approximately 345[o] . Two magnetic high circular features have also been identified in the project area which are possible later intrusive bodies within the Cactus Stock.

Figure 5: Cactus district reduced to pole magnetics highlighting interpreted structures, magnetic low zones and anomalies plus possible intrusive stocks.
The modelling of IP data collected over the Cactus district in 2017 highlights that Cactus has an associated discrete resistivity low anomaly (see Figure 6). It also identified a number of additional chargeability and resistivity anomalies commonly associated with magnetic low anomalies, interpreted structures and anomalous copper in soils.
The 100 Ω m Cactus resistivity low anomaly is attributable to the sulphide mineralisation around the known Cactus deposit. The anomaly extends up to 400m northeast into an undrilled area and indicates potential for additional sulphide mineralisation lateral to the 3-D modelled Cactus deposit. There is a second deeper resistivity anomaly approximately 700m northeast of Cactus mine and a similar anomaly associated with the mineralised New Years prospect.
There is a prominent chargeability high anomaly 14 times background associated with an interpreted intrusive body immediately to the northwest of New Years. The chargeability suggests that the intrusive may be a sill with associated disseminated sulphide mineralisation. The New Years, New Years West, N-1 and N-2 magnetic and copper in soil anomalies all occur on the southern and western margins of this intrusive and N-1 has an associated chargeability high anomaly possibly caused by sulphides. Additional anomalies include a prominent resistivity low coincident with the CZ-1 magnetic anomaly in the Copperopolis zone and a chargeability high with the CZ-5/SZ-1 magnetic low and copper soil geochemistry anomaly which grades up to 0.1% Cu.

Figure 6: Resistivity and chargeability sections along the northwest-southeast IP section line shown in Figure 5. Cactus, Comet and New Years all have associated resistivity low anomalies. Additional key features include a very prominent resistivity low anomaly associated with the CZ-1 magnetic anomaly and a high order 50mV chargeability high coincident with the intrusive stock interpreted from magnetics.
Detailed geological mapping over the Cactus project area indicates that the district wide Cactus Stock is a multi-phase intrusive consisting primarily of quartz monzonite but also with a range of later stage porphyries including grey, crowded and pink plus undifferentiated intrusives, tourmaline breccias and undifferentiated breccias. The mapping highlights that the area of brecciation at New Years extends to the west of the drilled tourmaline breccia outcrop for approximately 150m and that it dips steeply to the west towards the New Years West magnetic anomaly and a deeper induced polarization geophysical anomaly.
Portable XRF (pXRF) analyses carried out on soil samples significantly extended copper anomalies on the Cactus grid and lab assays highlighted potential for gold mineralisation (See Figure 7).[3] The samples were collected over northern and southeastern extensions to the sampling done over New Years in the first half of 2024. Assays range up to 0.1% copper against background grades of less than 60ppm and the anomalies are typically associated with magnetic and resistivity low anomalies, chargeability high anomalies and interpreted structures. As expected the pXRF analyses of the soils also confirmed and extended copper anomalies which are coincident with the known historical Cactus and Comet copper-gold mines.[4]
Key targets identified from the soil sampling in addition to the potential extension to the Cactus mine mineralisation include[5] :
-
Copperopolis has soil assays up to 0.1% copper associated with three spatially linked large scale chargeability anomalies. It lies at a structural intersection along a pronounced flex in a 110[o] structure. It also has an historical drill hole on the margin of the chargeability anomaly which intersected 30m grading 0.2% Cu.
-
Anomaly CZ-1 has anomalous soils grading up to 332ppm Cu associated with the most intense magnetic low in the district lying at a structural intersection. It also has two intense resistivity lows analogous to the Cactus mine resistivity anomalies

-
The N-1 anomaly has copper grades up to 875ppm and covers 400m north-south and 800m east-west. It lies along the same structure as the New Years prospect 800m to the east and has a magnetic low anomaly on its southern margin at a structural intersection. The area between N-1 and New Years is covered by landslip scree which likely masks any mineralisation in soils between the two targets. N-1 and New Years sit on the southern margin of an interpreted intrusive stock.
-
New Years West (NYW) has soils grading up to 0.3% Cu at New Years 150m to east. and is interpreted to dip to the west. Hawk drillholes at New Years intersected 26m @ 1.3% Cu and 30m @ 0.78% Cu and the tourmaline breccia host rock is interpreted to dip to the west. There is also a resistivity low analogous to the Cactus mine anomaly.
A number of additional targets identified from the soil sampling and geophysics occur on the Cactus grid however they are lower priority. Figure 7 shows anomaly outlines and Hawk’s proposed drill holes on a copper soil geochemistry base.

Figure 7: Hawk’s drilling targets on a base of copper soil geochemistry. The Cactus, Copperopolis and CZ-1 targets are the highest priority due to the large scale of the anomalies. The estimated background copper grade in soils is 60ppm and assays range up to 0.9% Cu at the Cactus mine.

Hole PCT04-3: 18.3m @ 0.88g/t gold from surface
Rock sampling traverse: 32.0m @ 2.15g/t gold Rock sampling traverse: 16.7m@ 2.6g/t gold
To followup these historical results Hawk collected 142 soil samples in March, 2025 for laboratory gold and multi-element analysis aimed at:
-
Verifying and determining the extent of gold mineralisation associated with historical rock samples and drill holes at Comet Mine;
-
Determining the strike extent of gold mineralisation to the southeast of the Cactus and Comet deposits along an interpreted fault structure;
-
Assessing whether the gold has strong element associations which may be useful as potential pathfinders in further exploration in the Cactus project area;
The lab soil assays have identified a +1.1km long zone of anomalous gold with grades up to 1.24g/t against an average grade of 0.03g/t Au and background grade of 0.006g/t Au. The highest grade soil samples assaying 1.24g/t and 0.599g/t gold occur in the Cactus open pit on the most north-westerly sampled line. The Comet mine also has highly anomalous samples at both its western and eastern ends with samples grading 0.16g/t Au and 0.14g/t Au respectively.
==> picture [452 x 246] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 8: Cactus soil grid colour contoured lab gold assays showing highest gold grade samples in grams per tonne plus historical drill hole and rock sample traverse intersections. The maximum assay of 1.24g/t Au is at Cactus and samples at Comet grade up to 0.16g/t.
The multi-element lab assays for the soil samples also highlights that gold has very strong associations with silver (Ag), antimony (Sb) and arsenic (As) with correlation coefficients of 0.97, 0.97 and 0.96 respectively (a coefficient of 1.00 is a perfect correlation) and only a 0.50 correlation coefficient with copper. In addition the correlation between copper and Ag, Sb and As is relatively low at 0.36, 0.36 and 0.35 respectively This implies that it may be a separate mineralising event to the copper.
A review of Cactus soils pXRF, silver, antimony and arsenic assays to identify zones with potential for gold mineralisation has highlighted three anomalous arsenic zones.[6] Antimony and silver pXRF assays are viewed as unreliable due to low and highly variable grades close to the detection limit.
Hawk’s next steps at Cactus include:
-
Obtaining permits to drill from Utah’s Dept of Oil, Gas and Mining and drill site preparation (Q4, 2025);
-
Diamond drilling five high priority targets - Cactus, Copperopolis, CZ-1, NYW and N-1 (Q4, 2025);

BRAZIL LITHIUM
In Brazil, assays were received for stream sediment samples collected in the Carai and Itaipe project areas in Minas Gerais state.
The Carai stream sediment samples contain highly anomalous rare earth element and lithium grades over an area of approximately 10km[2] in the northern portion of the project area (see Figure 9)[7] Anomalous neodymium and praseodymium rare earth elements occur at the northern end of the licences. Neodymium grades range from 1.06ppm to 128.5ppm and average 29.7ppm for all samples. The background grade is less than 10ppm with the maximum grade more than ten times background and four times the average across the sample set. Praseodymium grades range from 0.36ppm to 38.9ppm and average 8.6ppm across all samples. The background level in the area is less than 5ppm. The correlation between neodymium and praseodymium is 0.99 and between neodymium and other rare earths such as samarium, terbium and dysprosium is 0.99, 0.96 and 0.97 respectively.
The grade of lithium in the Carai samples ranges from a low of 0.7ppm to a high of 68.7ppm with the average grade across all samples being 9.3ppm lithium. Background lithium grades are estimated to be approximately 5.0ppm. A very strong correlation exists between lithium and caesium, beryllium, niobium and rubidium with correlation coefficients of 0.95, 0.92, 0.89 and 0.94 respectively suggesting a favourable geological environment for lithium bearing pegmatites. The anomalous samples are concentrated in the northwestern portion of the project area where artisanal mining activity for beryl and green tourmaline was observed during the sampling programme.
At Itaipe stream sediment samples also contain highly anomalous rare earth element and lithium grades (see Figure 10).[8] The anomalous lithium occurs in the southwest and central portions of the project area while anomalous neodymium and praseodymium rare earth elements potentially outline a northeast-southwest zone running through the centre of the area.
Itaipe’s neodymium grades range from 2.8ppm to 72.1ppm and average 20.8ppm for all assayed samples. The background grade is less than 10ppm with the maximum grade more than seven times background and three times the average for the sample set. Praseodymium grades range from 0.87ppm to 22.8ppm and average 6.3ppm across all samples. The background level in the area is less than 5ppm. The correlation between neodymium and praseodymium is 1.00 and between neodymium and other rare earths such as samarium, terbium and dysprosium is 1.00, 0.96 and 0.92 respectively.
The grade of lithium in the Itaipe samples ranges from a low of 1.0ppm to a high of 87.5ppm with the average grade across all samples being 9.9ppm lithium. Background lithium grades are estimated to be approximately 5.0ppm. There are strong associations between lithium and caesium, beryllium, rubidium and niobium assays with correlation coefficients of 0.91, 0.78, 0.80 and 0.65 respectively again indicating a favourable geological environment for lithium bearing pegmatites. Strong associations also exist between lithium and magnesium, potassium and zinc which suggest that a mafic association also exists. The anomalous samples are concentrated in the southwestern and central portions of the project area with samples grading greater than 40ppm Li which are more than 8 times background for the area.
Hawk’s next steps in Minas Gerais will entail infill stream sampling and preliminary geological mapping to narrow down anomalous areas to prospect scale. Once a prospect has been delineated, the area can be soil sampled and geologically mapped in detail to define targets for drill testing. Areas without anomalous results will be relinquished.
At the Salitre lithium project in Bahia state, field inspections were carried out on the prospect as preparation for possible drill testing.

There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity during the financial year.
Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year
Subsequently to the end of the Financial Year, the Company relinquished several tenements relating to their Minas Gerais project in Brazil. An impairment has been taken up during the 2025 Financial Year to the amount of $1,123,934.
No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2025 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 success of the consolidated entity will depend on the exploration activities proposed to be carried out on the current projects areas of interest.
The consolidated entity continues to review potential new opportunities, if the Directors are successful in acquiring new projects or entering into a joint venture, it is expected that part of the funding held by the consolidated entity may be directed to the purchase of that project and to the exploration and development plan for that project. It may be that additional cash will be required to fund any of these events should they eventuate. In that case the Directors will be required to review the funding options available to the consolidated entity.
Business risk management
The Company is committed to the effective management of risk to reduce uncertainty in the Company’s business outcomes and to protect and enhance shareholder value. There are various risks that could have a material impact on the achievement of the Company’s strategic objectives and future prospects.
Key risks and mitigation activities associated with the Company's objectives are set out below:
Exploration risk
The Company’s projects are at various stages of exploration, and potential investors should understand that mineral exploration is a high-risk undertaking. There can be no assurance that exploration of these projects, or any other tenements that may be acquired in the future, will result in the discovery of an economic mineral deposit.
The future exploration activities of the Company may be affected by a range of factors including geological conditions, limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated operational and technical difficulties, industrial and environmental accidents, local title processes, changing government regulations and many other factors beyond the control of the Company.
In addition, the tenements forming the projects of the Company may include various restrictions excluding, limiting or imposing conditions upon the ability of the Company to conduct exploration activities. While the Company will formulate its exploration plans to accommodate and work within such access restrictions, there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to satisfy such conditions on commercially viable terms, or at all.
The Company uses a number of exploration techniques in order to reduce the level of exploration risks and continues to explore new and innovative technologies through its day to day operations.
Regulatory risk
The Company’s mining and exploration activities are dependent upon the maintenance (including renewal) of the tenements
16
Hawk Resources Limited (Formerly known as Alderan Resources Limited) Directors' report 30 June 2025
in which the Company has or acquires an interest. Maintenance of the Company’s tenements is dependent on, among other things, the Company’s ability to meet the licence conditions imposed by relevant authorities. Although the Company has no reason to think that the tenements in which it currently has an interest will not be renewed, there is no assurance that such renewals will be given as a matter of course and there is no assurance that new conditions will not be imposed by the relevant authority or whether the Company will be able to meet the conditions of renewal on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.
The Company works with local government and mining departments to ensure it meets the required level of reporting requirements and to reduce any potential for breach of regulatory requirements.
Future funding risk
The Company has no operating revenue and is unlikely to generate any operating revenue in the foreseeable future. Exploration and development costs and pursuit of its business plan will use funds from the Company's current cash reserves and the amount raised under the Equity Offer.
The development of one or more of its projects may require the Company to raise capital in excess of the funds proposed to be raised under the Equity Offer.
Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to Shareholders, may be undertaken at lower prices than the then market price (or Offer Price) or may involve restrictive covenants which limit the Company's operations and business strategy. Debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities.
Although the Directors believe that additional capital can be obtained, no assurances can be made that appropriate capital or funding, if and when needed, will be available on terms favourable to the Company or at all. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its activities and this could have a material adverse effect on the Company's activities and could affect the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s funding requirements are reviewed on a regular basis in order to mitigate future funding risk.
Farm in and joint venture risk
The Company is party to joint venture arrangements with various projects. These joint venture arrangement and other farmin arrangements are subject to conditions and expenditure requirements for the Company to achieve certain ownership percentage ownership of the relevant projects. The farm-in arrangements also give rise to joint ventures.
There is a risk that the Company will not meet the requirements (including in respect of expenditure) under the farm-in arrangements or that, even if such requirements are met, a commercially viable resource will not be located on the project. In addition, any joint venture arrangement will be subject to risks typically associated with arrangements of that kind, including but not limited to that either party may seek to terminate or withdraw from the arrangement or fail to meet their obligations thereunder. There is also the potential for disputes in respect of the obligations of the parties to the joint venture, as outlined in Note 8 of this financial report.
Environmental regulation
The consolidated entity is subject to and is compliant with all aspects of environmental regulation of its exploration and mining activities. The directors are not aware of any environmental law that is not being complied with.

Service agreements

Hawk Resources Limited (Formerly known as Alderan Resources Limited) Directors' report 30 June 2025
Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
The objective of the consolidated entity's executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. 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
The Board is responsible for determining and reviewing remuneration arrangements for its directors and executives. The performance of the company depends on the quality of its directors and executives. The remuneration philosophy is to attract, motivate and retain high performance and high quality personnel.
The Board has structured an executive remuneration framework that is market competitive and complementary to the reward strategy of the company.
The reward framework is designed to align executive reward to shareholders' interests. The Board have considered that it should seek to enhance shareholders' interests by:
-
having financial performance as a core component of plan design
-
focusing on sustained growth in shareholder wealth and growth in share price and delivering constant or increasing return on assets as well as focusing the executive on key non-financial drivers of value.
In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive Director and executive Director remuneration is separate.
Non-executive directors remuneration
The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level that provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain Directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost that is acceptable to shareholders.
The ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of Non-Executive Directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. The Constitution states that the Company may pay to the Non-Executive Directors a maximum total amount of director's fees, determined by the Company in general meeting, or until so determined, as the Directors resolve. The Company intends to put to shareholders at the upcoming Annual General Meeting an aggregate remuneration amount to approve.
Maximum aggregate fees for the Non-Executive Directors are presently set at $250,000 per annum including superannuation. These fees cover main board activities only. Non-Executive Directors may receive additional remuneration for other services provided to the Company.
The Non-Executive salary remuneration became effective from the date of their appointment as Non-Executive Directors. There were also Company Options issued to Non-Executive Directors in line with Company policy to attract suitable candidates to the position.
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 two components:
-
base pay and non-monetary benefits
-
share-based payments
The combination of these comprises the executive's total remuneration.
20
Hawk Resources Limited (Formerly known as Alderan Resources Limited) Directors' report 30 June 2025
Fixed Remuneration
Fixed remuneration consists of base salaries, as well as employer contributions to superannuation funds and other noncash benefits. Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Board. The process consists of a review of company and individual performance, relevant comparative remuneration externally and internally and, where appropriate, external advice on policies and practices.
Performance Based Remuneration – Short Term Incentive
The Board has not implemented a system where Executives are entitled to annual cash bonuses. No bonuses were paid or are payable in relation to the financial year.
Performance Based Remuneration – Long Term Incentive Company Options
The Board has previously chosen to issue Options (where appropriate) to some executives and employees as a key component of the incentive portion of their remuneration, in order to attract and retain the services of the executives and to provide an incentive linked to the performance of the Company.
The Board may grant Options to executives and key consultants with exercise prices at and/or above market share price (at the time of agreement). As such, Incentive Options granted to executives will generally only be of benefit if the executives perform to the level whereby the value of the Company increases sufficiently to warrant exercising the Incentive Options granted. Other than service-based vesting conditions, there are no additional performance criteria on the Incentive Options granted to executives, as given the speculative nature of the Company’s activities and the small management team responsible for its running, it is considered the performance of the executives and the performance and value of the Company are closely related. The Company prohibits executives entering into arrangements to limit their exposure to Incentive Options granted as part of their remuneration package.
Long-Term Incentive Plan
The Company has implemented a Long-Term Incentive Plan. Under the Plan, the Company may grant options to subscribe for Shares or performance rights entitling the holder to be issued Shares on terms and conditions set by the Board at its discretion. The material terms of the Plan are as follows:
-
a) The purpose of the Plan is to:
-
i. assist in the reward, retention and motivation of eligible persons;
-
ii. to align the interests of eligible persons more closely with the interests of shareholders, by providing an opportunity; iii. for eligible persons receive an equity interest in the form of Awards; and
-
iv. to provide eligible persons with the opportunity to share in any future growth in value of Alderan Resources.
-
b) The following persons can participate in the Plan if the Board makes them an offer to do so: i. a director;
-
ii. a full-time or part-time employee;
iii. a contractor; or
-
iv. a casual employee of the Company or an associated body corporate and includes a person who may become an eligible person within (i) to (iv) above subject to accepting an offer of engagement for that role.
-
c) Plan Options and Plan Rights (collectively Awards) issued under the Plan are subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Rules, which include:
-
i. Vesting Conditions – which are time-based criteria, requirements or conditions (as specified in the offer and determined by the Board) which must be met prior to Awards vesting in a participant, which the Board may throughout the course of the period between the grant of an Award and its vesting, waive or accelerate as the Board considers reasonably appropriate;
-
ii. Performance Conditions – which are conditions relating to the performance of the Group and its related bodies corporate (and the manner in which those conditions will be tested) as specified in an offer and determined by the Board; and
-
iii. Exercise Conditions – which are criteria, requirements or conditions, as determined by the Board or under the Plan, which must be met notwithstanding the satisfaction of any Vesting Conditions and/or Performance Conditions) prior to a Participant being entitled to exercise vested Awards in accordance with clauses 8 and 9.
-
d) In accordance with ASIC Class Order 14/1000, the total Awards that may be issued under the Plan will not exceed 5% of the total number of Shares on issue. In calculating this limit, Awards issued to participants under the Plan other than in
21

reliance upon this Class Order are discounted.
-
e) The Board has the unfettered and absolute discretion to administer the Plan.
-
f) Awards issued under the Plan are not transferable and will not be quoted on the ASX.
The Rules otherwise contain terms and conditions considered standard for long-term incentive plan rules of this nature.

Use of remuneration consultants
During the financial year ended 30 June 2025, the Company did not engage the services of an independent remuneration consultant to review its remuneration for Directors, KMP and other senior executives.
Voting and comments made at the company's 2024 Annual General Meeting ('AGM')
At the 2024 AGM, 99.76% of the votes received supported the adoption of the remuneration report. The company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM regarding its remuneration practices.

Hawk Resources Limited (Formerly known as Alderan Resources Limited) Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2025
Note 1. General information
The financial statements cover Hawk Resources Limited as a consolidated entity consisting of Hawk Resources Limited and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year. The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Hawk Resources Limited's functional and presentation currency.
Hawk Resources Limited is a listed public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Its registered office and principal place of business is:
Suite 1, Level 6, 350 Collins Street Melbourne VIC 3000 Ph: (03) 8630 3321
A description of the nature of the consolidated entity's operations and its principal activities are included in the directors' report, which is not part of the financial statements.
The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of directors, on 30 September 2025. The directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements.
Note 2. Material accounting policy information
The accounting policies that are material to the consolidated entity are set out below. The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year, unless otherwise stated.
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.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
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 discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business.
As disclosed in the financial statements, the Group incurred a net loss of $2,733,877 and had net cash outflow from operating and investing activities of $1,405,947 and $1,100,052, respectively for the year ended 30 June 2025. The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is primarily dependent on securing additional funding though the issue of additional equity securities.
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.
The Directors believe that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the consolidated entity will be able to continue as a going concern, after consideration of the following factors:
-
The Directors believe that future funding will be available to meet the Group’s objectives and debts as and when they fall due, including through engaging with parties interested in joint venture arrangements and/or raising additional capital through equity placements to existing or new investors; and
-
The Group has the capacity, if necessary, to reduce its operating cost structure in order to reduce its working capital requirements as and when required with a successful capital raising anticipated in the short term.
Accordingly, the Directors believe that the consolidated entity 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 financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the amounts or classification of recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary if the consolidated entity does not continue as a going concern.

Hawk Resources Limited (Formerly known as Alderan Resources Limited) Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2025
Note 2. Material accounting policy information (continued)
Basis of preparation
The financial report is a general-purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. The Group is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards. 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. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Except for cash flow information, the financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis. Material accounting policies adopted in preparation of this financial report are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.
Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, investment properties, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entity's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 3.
Parent entity information
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the consolidated entity only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 22.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Hawk Resources Limited ('company' or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2025 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Hawk Resources Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'consolidated entity'.
Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity controls an entity when the consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity.
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.
Where the consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity 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.
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.
33
Hawk Resources Limited (Formerly known as Alderan Resources Limited) Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2025
Note 2. Material accounting policy information (continued)
Foreign currency translation
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Hawk Resources Limited's functional and presentation currency.
Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.
Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at the reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the average exchange rates, which approximate the rates at the dates of the transactions, for the period. All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity.
The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of.
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.
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 entity'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 entity'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 right at the end of the reporting period to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
34
Hawk Resources Limited (Formerly known as Alderan Resources Limited) Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2025
Note 2. Material accounting policy information (continued)
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes 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.
Trade and other receivables
Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses.
Investments and other financial assets
Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part of the initial measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Such assets are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on both the business model within which such assets are held and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset unless an accounting mismatch is being avoided.
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or have been transferred and the consolidated entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. When there is no reasonable expectation of recovering part or all of a financial asset, its carrying value is written off.
Financial assets at amortised cost
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost only if both of the following conditions are met: (i) it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and (ii) the contractual terms of the financial asset represent contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest.
Impairment of financial assets
The consolidated entity recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets which are either measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. The measurement of the loss allowance depends upon the consolidated entity's assessment at the end of each reporting period as to whether the financial instrument's credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, based on reasonable and supportable information that is available, without undue cost or effort to obtain.
Where there has not been a significant increase in exposure to credit risk since initial recognition, a 12-month expected credit loss allowance is estimated. This represents a portion of the asset's lifetime expected credit losses that is attributable to a default event that is possible within the next 12 months. Where a financial asset has become credit impaired or where it is determined that credit risk has increased significantly, the loss allowance is based on the asset's lifetime expected credit losses. The amount of expected credit loss recognised is measured on the basis of the probability weighted present value of anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of the instrument discounted at the original effective interest rate.
For financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance is recognised in other comprehensive income with a corresponding expense through profit or loss. In all other cases, the loss allowance reduces the asset's carrying value with a corresponding expense through profit or loss.
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment have been 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 diminishing value basis to write off the net cost of each item of plant and equipment over their expected useful lives as follows:
-
Office equipment 3-5 years
-
Motor vehicles 7 years
-
Exploration equipment 3-5 years

Hawk Resources Limited (Formerly known as Alderan Resources Limited) Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2025
Note 2. Material accounting policy information (continued)
The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date. An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the consolidated entity. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss. Any revaluation surplus reserve relating to the item disposed of is transferred directly to retained profits.
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.
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.
Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated entity 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.
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.
Share-based payments
Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based 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. Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash for the exchange of services, where the amount of cash is determined by reference to the share price.
The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using either the Trinomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, 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.
36
Hawk Resources Limited (Formerly known as Alderan Resources Limited) Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2025
Note 2. Material accounting policy information (continued)
The cost of cash-settled transactions is initially, and at each reporting date until vested, determined by applying either the Trinomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into consideration the terms and conditions on which the award was granted. The cumulative charge to profit or loss until settlement of the liability is calculated as follows:
-
during the vesting period, the liability at each reporting date is the fair value of the award at that date multiplied by the expired portion of the vesting period.
-
from the end of the vesting period until settlement of the award, the liability is the full fair value of the liability at the reporting date.
All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss. The ultimate cost of cash-settled transactions is the cash paid to settle the liability.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of Hawk 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.

Note 2. Material accounting policy information (continued)
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 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 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.
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 consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2025. The consolidated entity has not yet assessed the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations.
Note 3. 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.
Share-based payment transactions
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 is determined by using either the Binomial or BlackScholes 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.
Capitalised Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
Exploration and evaluation costs have been capitalised on the basis that activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves. 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.
Note 4. Operating segments
AASB 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the Directors in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance.
Information regarding these segments is presented below. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the Group’s accounting policies. The following tables are an analysis of the Group’s revenue and results by reportable segment provided to the Directors for the years ended 30 June 2025 and 30 June 2024.

Capital risk management
The consolidated entity's objectives when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the statement of financial position, plus net debt. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the consolidated entity may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
The consolidated entity would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company was seen as value adding relative to the current company's share price at the time of the investment. The consolidated entity is not actively pursuing additional investments in the short term as it continues to integrate and grow its existing businesses in order to maximise synergies.
The consolidated entity is subject to certain financing arrangements covenants and meeting these is given priority in all capital risk management decisions. There have been no events of default on the financing arrangements during the financial year.
The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 2024 Annual Report.

Financial risk management objectives
The consolidated entity's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk, price risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The consolidated entity's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the consolidated entity. The consolidated entity uses derivative financial instruments such as forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge certain risk exposures. Derivatives are exclusively used for hedging purposes, i.e. not as trading or other speculative instruments. The consolidated entity uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and other price risks, ageing analysis for credit risk and beta analysis in respect of investment portfolios to determine market risk.
Risk management is carried out by senior finance executives ('finance') under policies approved by the Board of Directors ('the Board'). These policies include identification and analysis of the risk exposure of the consolidated entity and appropriate procedures, controls and risk limits. Finance identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks within the consolidated entity's operating units. Finance reports to the Board on a monthly basis.

Hawk Resources Limited (Formerly known as Alderan Resources Limited) Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2025
Note 16. Financial instruments (continued)
a) Capital risk management
The Company manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. The Company’s overall strategy remains unchanged from prior years. The capital structure of the Company consists of debt, cash and cash equivalents and equity, comprising issued capital, reserves and retained earnings (accumulated losses). Operating cash flows are used to maintain and expand operations, as well as to make routine expenditures such as tax, dividends and general administrative outgoings.
Gearing levels are reviewed by the Board on a regular basis in line with its target gearing ratio, the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital.
b) Foreign Exchange Risk
The carrying amount of the consolidated entity's foreign currency denominated financial assets and financial liabilities at the reporting date were as follows:
| Consolidated US dollars Brazilian real |
Assets 30 June 2025 30 June 2024 $ $ 8,284 64,950 14,475 5,060 22,759 70,010 |
Assets 30 June 2025 30 June 2024 $ $ 8,284 64,950 14,475 5,060 22,759 70,010 |
Liabilities 30 June 2025 30 June 2024 $ $ - 73,351 13,598 55,251 13,598 128,602 |
Liabilities 30 June 2025 30 June 2024 $ $ - 73,351 13,598 55,251 13,598 128,602 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 22,759 | 70,010 | 13,598 | 128,602 |
Foreign currency sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analysis below details the Company’s sensitivity to an increase/decrease in the Australian Dollar against the United States Dollar and the Brazilian Real. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items. A 100-basis point is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to management and represents management’s assessment of the possible change in foreign exchange rates.
The Company had net liabilities denominated in foreign currencies of $9,161 (assets of $22,759 less liabilities of $nil) as at 30 June 2025 (2024: net liabilities $58,501 (assets of $70,010 less liabilities of $128,602). If foreign exchange rates had been 100 basis points higher or lower and all other variables held constant, the Company’s loss will increase/decrease by $92 (2024: $585); and net assets will increase/decrease by $92 (2024: $585).
The Company’s sensitivity to foreign exchange rates has not changed significantly from prior year.
c) Interest rate risk
The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the bank deposits with floating interest rate. These financial assets with variable rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. All other financial assets and liabilities, in the form of receivables and payables are non-interest bearing.
At the reporting date, the interest rate profile of the Company's interest-bearing financial instruments was:
| Interest-bearing financial instruments Bank balances Net exposure to cash flow interest rate risk |
30 June 2025 Balance $ 949,652 |
30 June 2024 Balance $ 119,404 |
|---|---|---|
| 949,652 | 119,404 |
The Company currently does not engage in any hedging or derivative transactions to manage interest rate risk.

Hawk Resources Limited (Formerly known as Alderan Resources Limited) Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2025
Note 16. Financial instruments (continued)
Interest rate sensitivity
A sensitivity of 0.1% (10 basis points) has been selected as this is considered reasonable given the current level of both short term and long-term interest rates. A 1% (100 basis points) movement in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased (decreased) equity and profit and loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency rates, remain constant. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2024.
| Basis points increase | Basis points increase | Basis points decrease | Basis points decrease | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Effect on | Effect on | |||
| Basis points | profit before | Basis points | profit before | |
| Consolidated - 30 June 2025 | change | tax | change | tax |
| Bank balances | 100 | 9,496 | 100 | (9,496) |
| Basis points increase | Basis points decrease | |||
| Effect on | Effect on | |||
| Basis points | profit before | Basis points | profit before | |
| Consolidated - 30 June 2024 | change | tax | change | tax |
| Bank balances | 100 | 1,194 | 100 | (1,194) |
d) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.
The Company only transacts with entities that are rated the equivalent of investment grade and above. This information is supplied by independent rating agencies where available and, if not available, the Company uses publicly available financial information and its own trading record to rate its major customers.
The Company does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any Company of counterparties having similar characteristics.
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. This arises principally from cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables.
There are no significant concentrations of credit risk within the Company. The carrying amount of the Company's financial assets represents the maximum credit risk exposure, as represented below:
| Cash on hand and in bank Trade and other receivables Total |
Consolidated 30 June 2025 30 June 2024 $ $ 949,652 119,404 106,391 117,811 1,056,043 237,215 |
Consolidated 30 June 2025 30 June 2024 $ $ 949,652 119,404 106,391 117,811 1,056,043 237,215 |
|---|---|---|
| 1,056,043 | 237,215 |
Trade and other receivables are comprised primarily of sundry receivables and GST refunds due. Where possible the Company trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties.
With respect to credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents, the Company's exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counter party, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments

Hawk Resources Limited (Formerly known as Alderan Resources Limited) Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2025
Note 16. Financial instruments (continued)
e) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Board's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that the Company will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. The contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments, are provided below. There are no netting arrangements in respect of financial liabilities.
Remaining contractual maturities
The following tables detail the consolidated entity'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.
| Weighted average interest rate Consolidated - 30 June 2025 % Non-derivatives Non-interest bearing Trade payables - Total non-derivatives Weighted average interest rate Consolidated - 30 June 2024 % Non-derivatives Non-interest bearing Trade payables - Total non-derivatives |

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Members of Hawk Resources Limited
REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL REPORT
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Hawk Resources Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2025, 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 material accounting policy information, the consolidated entity disclosure statement and the directors' declaration. In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
-
(i) Giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 30 June 2025 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 are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Material Uncertainty related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 2 in the financial report, which indicates that the Group incurred a loss of $2,733,877 and had net cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $1,405,947 and $1,100,052, respectively for the year ended 30 June 2025. As stated in Note 2, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 2, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
In addition to the matter described in the Material uncertainty related to going concern section of our report, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
| Key Audit Matter | How our audit addressed this matter |
|---|---|
| Capitalised Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure Refer to Note 10 in the financial statements |
|
| The Group has capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure with a carrying value of $4,582,725 as at 30 June 2025. We considered this to be a key audit matter due to the significant management judgments involved in assessing the carrying value of the asset including: • Determination of whether the expenditure can be associated with finding specific mineral resources, and the basis on which that expenditure is allocated to an area of interest; • Determination of whether exploration activities have progressed to the stage at which the existence of an economically recoverable mineral reserve may be assessed; and • Assessing whether any indicators of impairment are present, and if so, judgments applied to determine and quantify any impairment loss. |
Our audit procedures included: • Assessing the Group’s accounting policy for compliance with Australian Accounting Standards; • For a sample of mining claims held by the Group, agreeing this right of tenure to supporting documentation; • Assessing and evaluating management’s assessment of whether indicators of impairment existed as at 30 June 2025; • Where indicators of impairment were identified, evaluating management’s assessment of the recoverable amount of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure and testing the accuracy of the impairment charge that was recorded during the year; • Where indicators of impairment were not identified, assessing management’s determination that exploration and evaluation activities have not yet reached a stage where the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves may be reasonably determined; • Enquiring with management and reading budgets and other supporting documentation as evidence that active and significant operations in, or relation to, the area of interest will be continued in the future; and • Assessing the 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 2025 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:
-
a) the financial report (other than the consolidated entity disclosure statement) that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 ; and
-
b) the consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , and
for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of:
-
I. the financial report (other than the consolidated entity disclosure statement) that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and
-
II. the consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct and is free of misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with 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.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at: https://www.auasb.gov.au/admin/file/content102/c3/ar2_2020.pdf. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
