DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Rocky and West Branch are the two key prospects at the Ravenswood North Project. They are both located within the main mineralisation corridor trending south-east to north-west, and from the field work completed within the 2022 field season, have returned surface gold-silver and copper mineralisation.
At Rocky surface results were received and reported, with the Au-Ag-Cu-Mo geochemical footprint extended to a 4km strike (Figure 3). Additional rock chip samples were collected on the eastern side of the prospect and returned results of 5.27g/t Au, 13.05g/t Ag and 0.11% Cu , with the two best result returning 224g/t Ag & 0.28% Cu and 173g/t Ag & 0.55% Cu (Table 1).
At West Branch, high-grade surface rock chip samples were reported which included 6.18% Cu, 8.93g/t Au & 10.1g/t Ag, 5.2% Cu, 8.47g/t Au & 27.3g/t Ag, 0.2% Cu, 17g/t Au & 2.77g/t Ag , and 32.6g/t Ag, 0.6g/t Au & 15.8% Pb (Table 1).

Soil results are contoured for various levels of gold mineralisation, copper, silver, molybdenum, tellurium and selenium, with the location of historical and recent rock chip samples, and old workings, overlaying the magnetics from the VTEM survey. Refer to ASX release 15 November 2022.
Before the 2022 field season ended, the Company was able to mobilise an RC drill rig and complete 5 drill holes for 995m at the Rocky prospect to drill beneath the Au-Ag-Cu-Mo soil anomaly. The results were received at the beginning of 2023 and have been released after the end of the reporting period (Refer ASX release 7 March 2023). Holes were drilled on wide-spaced (300m) centres over a strike of 1,000m.
All five holes intersected the Ravenswood granitoids (desired host rocks for gold mineralisation) and significant mineralised intersections of gold and/or silver were returned. The best results included broad zones of anomalous gold, silver, copper and lead.
Results from the first five holes are consistent with first pass drilling results of gold deposits within the district, and likely represent proximity to a potential intrusive gold system (Table 2).

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
The drill program was designed to drill beneath the highest surface soil gold anomalies at the prospect on wide spacing, with any gold or silver mineralisation to be considered a positive result.
Significant drill assays were received from veins within the granodiorite, of 2m @ 1.58g/t Au, 9.75g/t Ag, & 0.23% Pb from 177m (RVRC0005), 7m @ 3.09g/t Ag including 1m @ 2.38g/t Au, 10.2g/t Ag, & 0.28% Pb from 32m (RVRC0005), 1m @ 4.12g/t Au & 1.3g/t Ag from 62m (RVRC0002), 1m @ 3.22g/t Au & 2.1g/t Ag from 105m (RVRC0002). Thin units of rhyolite (5-6m) were also intersected and returned intercepts of 5m @ 6.9g/t Ag & 0.31g/t Au from 160m (RVRC0005), including 2m @ 15.6g/t Ag , with the unit also returning anomalous copper and lead, from multi-element analysis (Figure 4).
Mount Success and Golden Valley gold deposits, 2.5 km from Rocky, are similar in size at 500m x 500m and 1,000m x 800m respectively. These deposits are also within a rhyolite unit and historically produced ~5,000oz of gold at an average grade of 60.3g/t.

Figure 4. Location of RC drillholes and rock chip results reported, in relation to nearby gold deposits (Golden Valley and Mount Success) overlaying the regional geology (GSQ) Mingela and Dotswood 1:100k map sheets. Refer to ASX release 7 March 2023
Results of the VTEM survey were received from the contractor during the reporting period and initial merging of dataset and generation of GIS layers were completed for interpretation, and further work was completed to prioritise and verify the targets for processing.
Processing generated two potential intrusive targets at the Rocky prospect, adjacent the surface geochemical anomaly, rock chip results and recent drill assay results (Figure 4).
The geophysical data was plotted with the drillhole results and highlights additional structural targets. As the drillholes were only drilled to an average depth of 200m, the results indicate they may have intercepted the alteration zone of a potential intrusive gold system (Figure 5). KILLI RESOURCES LIMITED: INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT − 31 DECEMBER 2022 6
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
RVRC0005 is a clear example of this, where multiple mineralised zones were intersected downhole, with high-grade silver values returned. The geophysical model suggests the target zone is a further 100 - 200m downhole, where the drillhole was terminated at 207m due to a slow drill rate through the granodiorite (Figure 6).

Targets 1 and 2 represent demagnetised zones the interpreted intrusive core, within the remnant magnetic feature (red). The targets likely represent in intrusive unit with more silica-rich minerals. Refer to ASX release 7 March 2023.
In addition to the drilling and geophysical results, surface rock chip assays were received on the eastern edge of the prospect, of 140g/t Ag, 1.6% Cu and 0.86% Sb (antimony) (Figure 4). These results are 1.3km from the nearest drill hole, again demonstrating the potential scale of the mineralised system. A total of four high-grade surface samples have been received from this area, within the pressure shadow of the granodiorite, and provide an ideal drill target for further exploration.
Within the Charters Towers district many gold deposits have polymetallic signatures that are associated with gold mineralising events. The Ravenswood gold mine (operated by EMR Capital) contains +9Moz

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
of Au total endowment, has a zoned silver-zinc-copper-arsenic-lead pathfinder alteration signature, 53 kms along strike from Rocky.
Downhole multi-element analysis and pXRF readings were taken for each metre from drill chips for each of the five holes. The results confirm proximal associations of anomalous silver-arsenic-coppermolybdenum-antimony-zinc with elevated gold grades at Rocky. This polymetallic geochemical association with gold is common in intrusive-related gold systems in the region and is often seen as large polymetallic zoned alteration halos in the surrounding wall rock geochemistry. pXRF readings were taken by the Company as a purely qualitative measure, not quantitative, for the use of finding pathfinder elements.
Based on the current understanding of pathfinder element association, geological observation from the drilling, and the grade of silver assays received, indicate the system to be within the porphyryepithermal category of an intrusive related gold system (Figure 7). Further multi-element analysis will be completed on the drill chips to ascertain positioning within an intrusive system.
The results of the drilling and geophysical modelling have given the Company full confidence to continue with the drill program at Rocky. With the drill program planned to infill between the existing 5 drill holes, drill test Target 1 & Target 2 from the geophysical model, and drill test the high-grade surface geochemical anomalies to the east.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
West Tanami Project (Gold, Copper, and Rare Earth Elements)
The Company owns 100% of the West Tanami Project located in the north-east of Western Australia. The land holding totals 1,634km[2] of granted tenure over 100km strike of the major gold corridor, Tanami Fault System, with existing gold endowment of the Tanami Gold Province greater than 19M oz Au. Within the district there are multiple gold deposits which include Callie Gold Mine (Newmont, ~14Moz Au), the Tanami Goldfields (3M oz Au), Twin Bonanza (1.5M oz Au) and the Coyote and Kookaburra mines (Black Cat Syndicate, ~1M oz Au) (Figure 8).
Aside from the gold opportunity, recent work completed by explorers in the area have highlighted the potential for hydrothermal Rare Earth systems, within the district. The project is located 50kms south-west of the Browns Range REE deposit, and less than 10km along strike from surface REE results in rock chips of 12.45% TREO (Killi Killi East) and 12% TREO (Boulder Ridge) (Figure 8).
==> picture [523 x 336] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 8. Location of West Tanami Gold Project in relation to existing Gold Mines and Rare Earth deposits in the Tanami Province.
Gold and Rare Earth Exploration
Killi completed four first pass aircore drill lines at the northern end of the project, across the interpreted axial hinge within sediments, at the Fox, Deva, and Trickster prospects, covering 9km of combined stratigraphy (Figure 9). Gold deposits within the Tanami district are generally hosted within the fold-hinges of the Dead Bullock Formation, or in close proximity to the sequence margins and/or contacts.
During the reporting period the Company received the first round of drilling results and established host lithologies from the aircore and diamond drill programs. Multiple intercepts of anomalous gold, arsenic and silver were intersected at the Fox prospect, with all elements aligning with the geochemical fingerprint for a sediment hosted gold systems and similar to those already found in the Tanami.
KILLI RESOURCES LIMITED: INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT − 31 DECEMBER 2022
11
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
The highest result returned was 4m @ 135ppb Au from 72m, located at the interpreted hinge zone. The total width of the anomalous gold corridor across the sequence is 2.8 km, with the more localised hinge zone 0.7 km in width.
Within the Tanami region low-level gold anomalism is the geochemical fingerprint to sediment hosted gold deposits, such as Callie deposit which was found on a 50ppb Au downhole drill anomaly.
In conjunction with the downhole anomalism, surface rock chips samples at the prospect returned 0.42g/t Au at the northern end of the line, some 2.6km from any historical surface gold results (Figure 9).
The two regional aircore lines completed at Trickster and Deva consisted of 54 holes for 2,201 metres. These two drill lines represent the first drilling over this newly identified prospective gold structure that could represent the main mineralising feature from the Tanami district. A significant result was returned at the eastern end of the southern line of 4m @ 100ppb Au from 8m depth, in bedrock below alluvial cover. Similarly at the eastern end of the northern line an anomalous result of 4m @ 30ppb Au from 8m was returned. It is interpreted these results could be the first results for the D5 fault structure on the project.
The observed lithologies from the diamond hole and aircore drilling results provide significant encouragment for the Company that the prospects cover the desired lithology which is already host to gold deposits within the region.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
A EIS-funded diamond drill hole was completed to a total depth of 890.4m during the field season. Logging and geochemical evaluation of the upper sedimentary sequence by geological logging and portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) has confirmed the section of the stratigraphy in which the project resides.
Logging of the upper portion of the diamond drill hole has identified the highly prospective Dead Bullock Formation which is the formation host to the +8Moz Callie gold deposit, 120 kms along strike to the southeast, and is the host lithology for gold mineralisation the Company is targeting.
The top of the diamond hole begins within the Killi Killi Formation, which is host to the Coyote and Kookaburra gold mines within the region. The hole then passes through a transitional zone and then into the Dead Bullock Formation, host rock to the Callie gold deposit (Figure 12). The sequence is strongly folded and faulted relating to both extensional and compressional events.

Rare Earth Element soil anomaly at Fox
A total of 300 samples were collected across the project during the 2022 field season targeting both gold and rare earth element (REE) systems. The geochemical program was designed to target regional structures, which could be possible hydrothermal conduits.
At the Fox prospect there are sporadic areas of outcrop/subcrop where soils are considered the best method to test for this style of REE mineralisation. The soil results returned greater than 3x background yttrium values at three separate locations, with yttrium (Y) one of the heavy rare earth elements, which is always associated and found in combination with rare earth minerals. The anomalies extend ~1.5km along strike to the basement sediments and are 400-500m in width (across-strike) (Figure 13 & Figure 14).

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
The anomalies are stratigraphically aligned with regional features determined from surface mapping, airborne interpretation, and down hole logging (Figure 2).
In addition to anomalous yttrium there is associated elevation in neodymium (Nd), dysprosium (Dy), ytterbium (Yb), terbium (Tb), europium (Eu), and gadolinium (Gd) (REE’s). The central anomaly is anomalous for Y-Dy-Nd (3x background values) and the two outer anomalies are anomalous for Y-Dy (3x background).
These are significant first pass results, where the Company plans to multi-element assay the downhole pulps from the aircore program, for holes which are adjacent the rare earth anomalies. The composite drill pulps from the aircore drilling have been analysed by pXRF, for a purely qualitative purpose and indicate the presence of hydrothermal alteration.
Regionally there are multiple occurrences of REE’s in the Tanami district, with surface mineralisation in the form of rock chips at the Killi Killi East Project, 12.45% TREO’s, and the Boulder Ridge Project, 12% TREO’s to the east of Killi Resources tenure. The mineralisation style of both these projects is believed to be hydrothermal, unconformity related. Where REE-rich hydrothermal fluid moves through the rocks and deposits preferentially within a host lithology, which in this instance is the Pargee Sandstone.
The Browns Range REE Mine, owned by Northern Minerals Limited, is located 55km north of the Fox prospect. The deposit is currently not in operation, however, has a current resource of 9.28Mt @ 0.67% TREO’s (Figure 8). The mineralisation style of this deposit is hydrothermal, with the individual localised REE deposits located around the margins of the Browns Range Dome.
In addition to this surface anomaly a new rare earth target has been generated from the airborne magnetic & radiometric survey and the compilation of field mapping conducted in the 2022 field season (Figure 13).
Sulphides at the West Tanami Project[1 ]
The diamond drill hole completed to a depth of 890.4 (TMDD0001) at the Fox prospect intercepted a zone of significance ~840m depth (560m vertical depth), a gabbro (mafic) unit (Figure 15). The gabbro had a distinctly high abundance of sulphide minerals.
Sulphides were observed from ~834m – 840.8m ranging from trace to approximately 30% of the rock mass increasing with depth. From 840.8m – 841.5m semi-massive and massive sulphides were intersected, where classification of massive sulphides is based on sulphide content >80% of the rock mass. The dominant sulphides observed were pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and pyrite, potentially representative of a magmatic base metal system.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
The pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite appear to be associated with the gabbro unit, with pyrite present in the sediments as well as the gabbro. At this point the pyrite is believed to be part of a hydrothermal overprint as it is seen throughout the hole and associated with varying degrees of quartz veining.
Previous work and mapping completed by the Geological Survey of Western Australia has only identified sediments with no interpretation of mafic units at the prospect (Figure 16). Dolerites have been loosely documented in the region to intrude the sedimentary sequence, however there is very limited drilling in which they have been intersected and limited analysis performed.
Further review of historical reports indicates there has been no prior exploration for magmatic sulphide mineralisation in the Tanami Province, which presents a unique opportunity for Killi to explore.
The Company plans to further evaluate the drill core with the assistance of experienced geologists of the Tanami region, and those with base metal experience. Geological work will continue with further analysis to establish timing relationships, alteration assemblages and metamorphic facies of the gabbro and surrounding sediments (Figure 17).

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ON VISUAL ESTIMATES OF MINERALISATION
References in this report to visual results are from diamond drilling. Visible mineralisation in NQ core (TMDD0001) consisted of trace, disseminated, semi-massive and massive sulphides of pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and pyrite. Visual estimates of percentages are based on preliminary visual observations of the drill core surface as presented in the core trays and may not be representative of the entire sample interval. Laboratory assays are required for representative estimates of copper and other metal contents abundance. It is intended half core samples will be sent for assays. This work will take some time and assay results will be reported once available.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Mt Rawdon West Project (Gold and Copper)
The project, is 100% owned, and consists of one granted tenement, which covers 309km[2] of prospective gold and copper ground between Evolution Mining’s Mt Rawdon Gold Mine and SolGold’s Mt Perry Project. The project is located 60km inland from Bundaberg in Queensland (Figure 18).
Historical exploration has identified copper and gold anomalism, within the northeast trending intrusion related mineralisation corridor. The main targets identified are in the centre of the tenement and coincide with and existing 1.5km[2] geochemical soil anomaly of Cu-Au-Mo at the intersection of the Mount Perry and Mt Rawdon mineralised structures.
The Mt Perry goldfields, which sit on the western boundary of the tenement, are known to contain multiple intrusion related gold deposits.
The primary target at the project is a 3km x 1km copper-gold-molybdenum geochemical anomaly at surface. The location of this anomaly coincides with the intersection of the regional controlling mineralisation faults. There is evidence of historical mining on the project with the presence of old workings into a breccia pipe, approximately 150m in width. Historically, minor copper and gold were produced from the old workings and small open pits.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Balfour Project (Copper)
The Balfour Project is located 125kms northeast of Newman in the Pilbara of Western Australia and covers 350km[2] of the prospective Proterozoic Rift. The tenement is granted and wholly owned by the Company. The project covers 25kms of strike of the sub-basin, and surrounds the Nicholas Downs Manganese Deposit owned by Hancock Prospecting (Figure 19).
The project is prospective for base metal intrusion related mineral deposits, such as sedimentary hosted copper deposits.
Two prospects have already been determined, Winterbrook and Whitewood, which occur equidistant along strike from the Nicholas Downs Manganese Project. Winterbrook has an anomalous demagnetised zone stretching 6kms in length, accompanied with a gravity high, as well as an associated copper-zinc-arsenic soil anomaly. Anomalous soil results are believed to be associated with intrusive dolerites, similar in geology to the rocks that host high-grade copper mineralisation at Ilgarari and Kumarina south-west of Balfour.
Whitewood has a geophysical anomaly trending northeast.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
1. Summary of significant accounting policies
(a) 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 Corporation Act 2001.
Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which they apply. The financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB). Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below. They have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.
New and amended standards adopted by the entity
The Group has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are mandatory for the current reporting period. Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
Going Concern
The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis with the Directors of the opinion that the Group can meet its obligations as and when they fall due.
For the period ended 31 December 2022, the Group recorded a loss of $2,721,606 (2021: loss $805,298), had a net current asset position of $1,877,852 (30 June 2022: net current asset position of $4,551,559) and had a net cash outflow from operations of $2,824,061 (2021: $340,870). At 31 December 2022, the Group had $1,858,523 (30 June 2022: $4,684,488) in cash and cash equivalents. For the Group to continue to carry out its exploration activities, meet its expenditure requirements and continue as a going concern it is dependent on securing additional funding. These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore whether it will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due and realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business
The Directors have prepared a cashflow forecast for the next 12-month period reflecting the need for further funding as mentioned above. While the Directors are confident that they will be able to raise the funding, the timing, extent and cost of additional funding is always uncertain. In the event that funding of an amount required to meet the future budgeted operational and investing activities of the Company is unavailable, the Directors would undertake steps to scale down its operations and reduce its discretionary expenditure in order to curtail cash outflows.
(b) Accounting policies
These general-purpose financial statements for the interim half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2022 have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’. These general-purpose financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in annual financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2022 and any public announcements made by the company during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. The principal accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, unless otherwise stated.

2. Segment Information
Operating Segments
The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources.
The Group is managed primarily on the basis of its exploration and corporate activities. Operating segments are therefore determined on the same basis.
Reportable segments disclosed are based on aggregating operating segments where the segments are considered to have similar economic characteristics.
The Group operates within on segment which is mineral exploration within Australia. The Group is domiciled in Australia.

-
FMG will pay Iron Bull Bangemall (a subsidiary of Killi) a deferred consideration payment of $100,000 (plus GST) if FMG is the holder of the replacement tenement on the date which is 5 years after the date of grant of the replacement tenement, provided that as at such a date the area the subject of the replacement tenement includes the area the subject of the exploration licences immediately before execution of the Letter of Agreement.
In accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, due to the uncertainty in relation to the timing of this Contingent Consideration, no amounts have been recognised in the financial statements in relation to these matters.
At the date of the report no other material commitments, contingent assets or contingent liabilities exist that the Company is are aware of, other than those disclosed above.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT
To the members of Killi Resources Limited
Report on the Condensed Half-Year Financial Report
Conclusion
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Killi Resources Limited (“the Company”) which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2022, 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 half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration, for the Group comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year end or from time to time during the half-year.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Killi Resources Limited does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
(a) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2022 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
(b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
Basis for conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity . Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of the financial report section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to Note 1(a) in the financial report, which indicates that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Responsibility of the directors for the financial report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibility for the review of the financial report
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2022 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .
