REVIEW OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

The Directors of Lode Resources Ltd (ASX: LDR or ‘Lode' or ‘the Company') are pleased report that the Group has achieved significant exploration, resource development and acquisition milestones during the year-ended 30 June 2025.

Lode's exploration focus is on the highly prospective but under-explored New England Fold Belt in north-eastern New South Wales and the Montezuma Antimony Project located in Tasmanian’s premier West Coast Mining Province. The Company has assembled a portfolio of brownfield precious and base metal assets characterised by:

  • 100% ownership;

  • Significant historical geochemistry and/or geophysics;

  • Under drilled and/or open-ended mineralisation; and

  • Demonstrated high-grade mineralisation and/or potential for large mineral occurrences.

This has resulted in a portfolio of assets with diverse mineralisation styles consisting of four core projects of current focus

  1. Montezuma Antimony Project – Located on the west coast of Tasmania, a region well known for mining activity, the Project consists of a high-grade antimony-silver deposit with initial development, advanced metallurgical test work and significant beneficiation infrastructure.

  2. Uralla Gold – Located 8km west of the Uralla township, this goldfield was one of the earlier goldfields discovered in NSW and a significant gold producer in the 1850’s. Despite this long history the mineralisation style has only recently been recognised as being an Intrusive Related Gold System (IRGS) and this has strong implications for this project’s discovery potential. Lode’s holdings cover over 300 square kilometres.

  3. Webbs Consol Silver – Located 16km west-southwest of Emmaville, this historical mining centre is known for highgrade silver-base metal-bearing lodes that provide attractive targets that were essentially drill-ready. Historical records of underground sampling indicated high-grade mineralisation remains open at relative shallow depths and subsequent geophysical anomalies were never followed-up by drilling.

  4. New England Antimony Project – Located in one of Australia’s most prolific antimony producing provinces, 19 antimony prospects have already been identified within the Exploration Licences (EL) EL9662 and EL9319, both controlled 100% by Lode. The project is anchored by the Magwood Mine, discovered in the 1880s and mainly worked between 1941 and 1970, and was Australia’s primary producer of antimony.

As of 30 June 2025, the Company has an interest in tenements as follows:

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

During the year-ended 30 June 2025 Lode acquired the Montezuma Antimony-Silver Project, an asset that underpins and accelerates the company’s growth aims in developing high-grade quality resource projects. Successful drill campaigns were carried out at both the Webbs Consol Silver Project in NSW and the Montezuma Antimony-Silver Project in Tasmania. In addition, a Maiden Resource Estimate was announced for the Webbs Consol Silver Project and all core from historical drilling at the Montezuma Antimony-Silver Project were relogged and resampled in accordance with JORC 2012 standards. These drill and resampling campaigns have resulted exceptional results and the maiden resource at Webbs Consol was a substantial milestone for the company.

Montezuma Antimony-Silver Project

Lode acquired the Montezuma Antimony-Silver Project in located in Tasmania’s premier West Coast Mining Province during the year. Acquisition terms included:

  • $50,000 non-refundable cash deposit pain upon the execution of the HOA ie 22; plus

  • $200,000 cash payable on completion of the Proposed Acquisition; plus

  • 10,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company at a deemed issue price of $0.10 per share on completion of the acquisition subject to 12-month escrow; plus

  • Up to 6,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company at a deemed issue price of $0.10 per share upon satisfaction of certain performance hurdles and subject to 12-month escrow.

The Montezuma Antimony Project includes a high-grade antimony-silver deposit with initial development, advanced metallurgical test work and significant mining equipment and beneficiation infrastructure. The Montezuma Antimony Project deposit is accessed via the Zeehan township located 14km to the west. The Montezuma Antimony Project is located between well-known mining centres such as:

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

All core from historical drilling at the Montezuma Antimony-Silver Project was relogged and resampled. This resulted in 12 high-grade antimony and silver drill intercepts being reported according to the guidelines of the 2012 JORC Code, affirming the exceptional high-grade nature of the Montezuma Antimony-Silver Project deposit. Similarly, drill intercept assays showed mineralisation to be generally much wider than previously thought. Furthermore, significant gold, copper and tin assay values enhanced the overall mineral endowment.

During the year an extensive drill programme commenced at Montezuma to test for extensions of the Montezuma deposit, both down dip and along strike. The initial target area being tested is approximately 300min strike by 200m depth. This 50-to-60-hole drilling programme (8,000m to 10,000m) is ongoing with 17 holes for 2,507m having been completed up to the FY year end with a total 26 drill holes for 41,50m completed to date.

Exploration and extension drilling has produced numerous high-grade antimony and silver drill intercepts including:

776 g/t AgEq or 2.18% SbEq over 9.9m (MZS19) incl: 1,981 g/t AgEq or 5.06% SbEq over 2.6m (MZS19) incl: 2,491 g/t AgEq or 7.01% SbEq over 1.6m (MZS19)

The Montezuma antimony-silver deposit consists of structurally controlled poly metallic sulphide lodes associated with the Montezuma fault, hosted by a sequence of turbidites, siltstones, sandstones and black shale units. Antimony is contained within Jamesonite, a lead-iron-antimony sulphide mineral (Pb4FeSb6S14) and is a late-stage hydrothermal mineral forming at moderate to low temperatures. Silver occurs as tetrahedrite and argentiferous galena.

Drilling to date has intercepted multiple mineralised veins in each drill hole and the mineralised structures remain open in all directions. Silver and antimony are by far the most dominant metals however significant gold, lead, copper and tin values highlight the polymetallic nature of mineralisation in the Montezuma lodes. Antimony and silver values interchange dominance from intercept to intercept.

In addition to numerous wide intercepts encountered to date (20 intercepts >2m), multiple mineralised “daughter” structures occur adjacent to the footwall and hanging wall structures, suggesting the potential for a bulk tonnage resource scenario. This is particularly pertinent where the footwall and hanging wall structures coalesce.

The Montezuma deposit is associated with a 500m Sn, Ag, As soil anomaly defined by historical soil sampling. Follow-up surface mapping and sampling followed by drilling has extended the Montezuma Sb-Ag deposit along strike

Lode sees the Montezuma deposit as a model for discovering other such structurally controlled granite related Sb-Ag sulphide deposits in the West Coast Mining Province. Base metal soil anomalies defined by historical exploration provide numerous untested structural targets in the district. Lode is acquiring a significant land holding in the district with the recent acquisition of tenement EL2/2020 adding 88 sqkm’s and tenement application EL6/2025 adding 71 sqkm’s.

[1] Antimony and Silver Metal Equivalent Grades

LDR is reporting both antimony and silver equivalent grade figures due to interchanging dominance of these two metals from intercept to intercept. Metal equivalent grade figures are a method of demonstrating overall metal endowment for all significant metals’ grades in a single grade figure for each intercept and thus allowing a simpler comparison between intercepts. Montezuma’s reported antimony and silver equivalent figures are based on conversion factors as follows:

  • SbEq(%) = Sb(%) + 0.00281Ag(g/t) + 0.056Pb(%) + 0.29*Cu(%)

  • AgEq(g/t) = Ag(g/t) + 355Sb(%) + 20Pb(%) + 101*Cu(%)

Metal equivalent conversion factors were calculated using 30 December 2024 metal prices of US$34,747/t antimony, US$29.1/oz silver, US$1,912/t lead and US$8,705/t copper. The antimony price was calculated as an average of several antimony products in a number of markets.

Metal equivalent conversion factors were calculated using a preliminary flotation test carried out by ALS Metallurgy (Burnie) in September 2019, where recoveries achieved were 74.5% antimony, 77.9% silver, 75.8% lead and 84.8% copper. It is Lode’s opinion that all the elements included in the metal equivalents calculation have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold.

2Tin and Gold Assays

Tin and Gold assay figures are not included in equivalent figures as gold was not assayed in an early flotation test. ALS Metallurgy has been commissioned to complete further comprehensive flotation tests on Montezuma Antimony & Silver mineralisation including the recovery of tin and gold. This includes Quantitative X-ray Diffraction (QXRD) analysis to determine overall mineralogy.

Magwood Antimony Project

Lode has announced the commencement of an inaugural drilling programme at Lode’s 100% owned Magwood Antimony Project. The Magwood Antimony Project is the company’s second strategic antimony project and located in the New England Fold Belt, NSW. A significant drill program at Lode’s Montezuma Antimony Project located in Tasmania is on-going with samples from multiple completed drill holes currently being assayed.

The Magwood Antimony Project drill program is for 15 diamond holes testing semi-parallel antimony bearing lode structures at the Magwood antimony mine in addition to the one historical mined lode. Drilling is designed to test targets ranging from shallow positions in depth to a likely down hole depth of 450m.

The Magwood antimony mine has never been drilled despite being a significant historical antimony producer and Australia’s largest primary antimony producer up to the 1970’s.The Magwood mine was mainly worked between 1941 and 1970 with recorded yearly production grades ranging from 4% to 62% Sb and the first seven years of production average 55% Sb indicating very selective mining though hand sorting of massive stibnite (71% Sb). Magwood was Australia’s largest primary antimony producer before the focus switched to the Hillgrove mine in 1969. Multiple antimony bearing lodes have been identified through exploration mapping and literature reviews. Historical mine plans and reports show that only a single lode was previously mined.

Mine dump grab samples at the Magwood antimony mine have returned high grade antimony as showing in Table 7 below. Grab sampling is selective in nature with resultant assay grades considered to be qualitative rather than quantitative and not necessarily representative of the mined stibnite mineralisation which may actually be lower or higher in antimony grade. Grab sample assays graded as high as 41.7% Sb and one dump sample graded 6.14 g/t Au (sample no. R508) indicating there is potential for gold bearing lodes at depth.

New England Antimony Exploration Licence

Lode’s New England exploration licences EL9662 and EL9319 cover multiple strategic antimony prospects, including the historical Magwood antimony mine. These antimony prospects, together with Lode’s Montezuma Antimony Project located in Tasmania, forms a strategic exploration portfolio that is highly prospective for one of the world’s most critical metals.

In total there are 19 recorded antimony prospects within the Exploration Licences EL9662 and EL9319, both controlled 100% by Lode. Almost no drilling has occurred within Lode’s antimony project areas despite the geology being considered highly prospective for orogenic structurally-controlled antimony mineralisation. It is highly relevant that surface work is almost nonexistent.

The area totals 1,914 km[2] and forms a large proportion of the approximately 2,949km[2] of exploration licences that Lode owns in NSW. This makes Lode the largest holder of exploration ground in the New England Fold Belt.

Exploration within the New England Fold Belt has been limited since the 1970’s with one exploration hole drilled for every fourteen holes drilled in the Lachlan Fold Belt attesting to the tremendous discovery potential that may be latent within Lode’s strategic exploration portfolio. Field activities have commenced including access discussions with surface landowners.

Webbs Consol Silver Project

During the year Lode announced a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate ( MRE ) for the 100% owned Webbs Consol Silver Project located in the New England Fold Belt in northeastern New South Wales. The MRE is classified according to the 2012 edition of the JORC Code as Inferred and Indicated Resources at a 140g/t AgEq lower cutoff, contains:

1.6 Mt @ 636g/t AgEq[i] g/t for 32 M Ounces AgEq[i-iv]

Webbs Consol is a historical mining centre which is known for historic high-grade silver-base metal-bearing lodes. The maiden MRE is a culmination of Lode‘s collation of exploration data from a number of recent drill campaigns carried out by LDR.

‐ The result marked a significant advancement in the Company’s understanding of the Ag Zn-Pb sulphide mineralisation associated with the Webbs Consol Leucogranite in the New England Fold Belt of New South Wales. The MRE confirms the scale and quality of the Webbs Consol Ag-Zn-Pb lodes.

Webbs Consol is located on Lode’s wholly owned tenement EL8933, 16km west-south-west of Emmaville and 30km northeast of Glenn Innes, in the New England district of New South Wales. Access to the area is via allweather unsealed and sealed roads. The New England area is a historic mining district with numerous historic and current projects and mines.

Webbs Consol was discovered in 1884 and worked intermittently until the 1970s. Several mine shafts were worked for high-grade galena and silver. Modern exploration commenced with CRA on historic EL1079 Exploration between 1978 and 1984. Silver Mines Ltd continued exploration on EL6239 between 2004 and 2014.

The Webbs Consol Silver Project hosts several high-grade, silver-zinc-lead mineralised pipes located over a 2km strike length within the margins of the Permian Webbs Consol Leucogranite.

Mineralisation is hosted in silica-sericite-chlorite altered pipes solely within the Webbs Consol Leucogranite. Mineralised and altered pipes are aligned along a north trending lineament subparallel to the western granitevolcanic/sediment contact. Six mineralised pipes have been delineated by LDR. A similar lineament is potentially located on the eastern margin.

Mineralogy consists of disseminated and blebby style silver-rich galena, sphalerite, pyrite, chalcopyrite and tetrahedrite. The mineralised pipes are approximately circular of 20-50m diameter in plan view with a steep elongate plunge. The mineralised pipes have been drill defined up to 350m depth and remain open at depth. There is a likelihood of extensions and additional mineralisation with ongoing exploration.

Subsequent to FY25 Lode announced the execution of a binding agreement with Rapid Critical Metals (“Rapid”) to divest Lode’s Webbs Consol silver project in northeast New South Wales to Rapid. The divestment will comprise the transfer of two licenses containing the Webbs Consol deposit, being Webbs Consol EL 8933 and Webbs Consol Expanded EL9454. Consideration to Lode for the divestment is as follows:

  •  A$3.75 million in cash, of which, A$3 million is to be paid upon completion, with A$750,000 to be paid 12 months from completion;

  •  115 million shares in Rapid (“RCM Consideration Shares” - equivalent to 15.3% of Rapid, based on Rapid’s 638 million ordinary shares on issue at the time of the agreement execution and allowing for the issue of the 115 million Rapid shares to Lode). The RCM Consideration Shares will be voluntarily escrowed by Lode for a period of 12 months. Thereafter, Lode is to use its best endeavours to affect an in-specie distribution of these RCM Consideration Shares to Lode shareholders; and

  •  a 2% NSR royalty over Webbs Consol

Through the shareholding in Rapid, Lode shareholders gain exposure to the potential gained from consolidating Webbs Consol with Rapid’s 100% owned Webbs and Conrad silver deposits creating a group with a significant combined silver dominant mineral resource and extensive exploration licences.

Consolidated ownership of three nearby, high-grade deposits supports potential unified mine planning, centralised processing options, and potential operating synergies.

Cash component of the transaction will materially enhance the Lode balance sheet and allow for increased exploration activity at Lode’s flagship Montezuma project in Tasmania and the Magwood Antimony and Uralla Gold projects in the New England Fold Belt

The divestment is subject to completion of limited remaining due diligence by both companies and execution of full-form transaction documentation. The transaction is also likely to be subject to a shareholder approval of Rapid which, if required, is expected to be sought at a General Meeting of Rapid likely to be held in October.

Changes in state of affairs

In the opinion of the Directors, significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group that occurred during the year ended 30 June 2025 were as follows:

On 26 August 2024, Lode secured a strategic Antimony prospect (EL9662) identifying 19 antinomy prospects including the historic Magwood Antimony Mine. The main uses of Antimony are in fire-retardant, photovoltaic solar cells and military equipment.

On 8 November 2024, the Company issued 10,696,035 ordinary fully paid shares at an issue price of $0.10 raising $1,069,603.50 before costs.

On 29 November 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the issued capital of Spero Mining Pty Ltd (and its subsidiary Star Mining Pty Ltd) which included the Montezuma Antinomy Project “Montezuma”. Under the terms of the acquisition Lode paid a consideration as follows:

  • $50,000 non-refundable cash deposit.

  • $200,000 cash;

  • 10,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.10 per share with the shares escrow for 10 months; and

  • 6,000,000 ordinary shares at a deemed issue price of $0.10 and to be issued upon satisfaction of certain performance hurdles by the seller and the performance shares have an expiry date of 30 June 2026.

On 6 December 2024, following shareholders’ approval at the Company’s Annual General Meeting. The Company issued 1,000,000 unlisted options to Jason Backton a Director of the Company. The options have an exercise price of $0.15, expiring on 6 December 2027 and vesting immediately.

On 18 December 2024, the Company issued 34,303,965 ordinary fully paid shares at an issue price of $0.10 raising $3,430,396.50 before costs

Future developments and results

During the course of the 2025 financial year, the Company will focus principally on advancing its brownfields and greenfields exploration of its exploration licences in the New England Fold Belt in northeastern NSW.

Further information as to the likely developments in the operations of the Company and the expected results of those operations in future financial years have not been included in this report as the inclusion of such information is likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Company.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 June 2025

1. REPORTING ENTITY

Lode Resources Ltd (the 'Company') is a company domiciled in Australia as an individual entity. The address of the Company’s registered office is C/o ESN Partners, Level 15, Governor Macquarie Tower, 1 Farrer Place, Sydney, NSW, 2000. The consolidated financial statements, of the Company as at and for the year ended 30 June 2025 comprise the Company and its subsidiary (together referred to as the “Group’). The Group is a forprofit entity and is primarily engaged in identifying and evaluating antimony opportunities in Tasmania and New South Wales and gold, copper, and silver resource opportunities in New England Fold Belt of New South Wales.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

(a) Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards ('AASBs') adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001 . The consolidated financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRSs') and interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').

The consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the Directors on 26 September 2025.

(b) Basis of measurement

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial assets which are measured at fair value.

(c) Functional and presentation currency

These consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.

(d) Use of estimates and judgement

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements are in conformity with AASBs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

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

  • Note 12 - Exploration and evaluation expenditure.

  • Note 15 – Valuation of share based payments.

32 | P a g e

Lode Resources Ltd and its controlled entities ABN: 30 637 512 415

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 June 2025

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Exploration and evaluation expenditure

Exploration and evaluation expenditure, including the costs of acquiring licences, are capitalised as intangible exploration and evaluation assets on an area of interest basis, less any impairment losses. Costs incurred before the Company has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are recognised in profit or loss.

Exploration and evaluation assets are only recognised if the rights of the area of interest are current and either:

  • the expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest; or

  • activities in the area of interest have not at the reporting date, reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.

Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability and facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. For the purposes of impairment testing, exploration and evaluation assets are allocated to cash-generating units to which the exploration activity relates. The cash generating unit shall not be larger than the area of interest.

Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified to developing mine properties.

(b) Segment reporting

Determination and presentation of operating segments

The Company determines and presents operating segments based on the information that is provided internally to the Executive Directors, who are the Company’s chief operating decision maker.

An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Company’s other components. All operating segments' operating results are regularly reviewed by the Company’s Executive Directors to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.

Segment results that are reported to the Executive Directors include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly corporate assets (primarily the Company's headquarters), head office expenses, and income tax assets and liabilities.

Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to acquire property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets other than goodwill.

(c) Comparative information

Certain comparative amounts, which are not deemed to be material, have been disclosed or reclassified where necessary to provide consistency with current period disclosures.

Business combinations are accounted for by applying the acquisition method which requires an acquiring entity to be identified in all cases. The acquisition date under this method is the date that the acquiring entity obtains control over the acquired entity.

The fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired are recognised in the consolidated financial statements at the acquisition date.

Goodwill or a gain on bargain purchase may arise on the acquisition date, this is calculated by comparing the consideration transferred and the amount of non-controlling interest in the acquiree with the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired. Where consideration is greater than the net assets acquired, the excess is recorded as goodwill. Where the net assets acquired are greater than the consideration, the measurement basis of the net assets are reassessed and then a gain from bargain purchase recognised in profit or loss.

All acquisition-related costs are recognised as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred except for costs to issue debt or equity securities.

Contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at the acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is recognised in profit or loss. Contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.

Business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The acquirer retrospectively adjusts the provisional amounts recognised and also recognises additional assets or liabilities during the measurement period, based on new information obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisitiondate. The measurement period ends on either the earlier of (i) 12 months from the date of the acquisition or (ii) when the acquirer receives all the information possible to determine fair value.

(e) Rehabilitation provision

A provision has been made for the present value of anticipated costs for future rehabilitation of land explored or mined. The consolidated entity's mining and exploration activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. The consolidated entity recognises management's best estimate for assets retirement obligations and site rehabilitations in the period in which they are incurred. Actual costs incurred in the future periods could differ materially from the estimates. Additionally, future changes to environmental laws and regulations, life of mine estimates and discount rates could affect the carrying amount of this provision.

(f) New and revised accounting standards and interpretations

The Company has adopted all standards which became effective for the first time in the year ended 30 June 2025.

The AASB has issued new and amended accounting standards and interpretations that have mandatory application dates in future reporting periods. The Company has decided not to early adopt these and has assessed their impact as being immaterial.

In the opinion of the Directors, the Company did not have any contingencies at 30 June 2025 (2024: none).

20. CAPITAL AND LEASING COMMITMENTS

The NSW Division of Resource and Geoscience requires a commitment to a work program rather than an expenditure commitment. Work programs can be varied annually. The Company has budgeted minimum work programs for each year as shown below. However, it is anticipated that early exploration success in any project will result in higher expenditures for that project.

The equity based compensation reserve is used to record the options issued to directors and executives of the Company as compensation. Options are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

23. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company is exposed to a variety of financial risks through its use of financial instruments.

The Company‘s overall risk management plan seeks to minimise potential adverse effects due to the unpredictability of financial markets.

Objectives, policies and processes

The Board of Directors have overall responsibility for the establishment of Lode Resource’s financial risk management framework. This includes the development of policies covering specific areas such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, credit risk and the use of derivatives.

Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities.

Mitigation strategies for specific risks faced are described below:

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk arises from the Company’s management of working capital. It is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company’s policy is to ensure that it will always have sufficient cash to allow it to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due.

43 | P a g e

Lode Resources Ltd and its controlled entities ABN: 30 637 512 415

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 June 2025

Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Company.

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and deposits held.

The fair value of assets and liabilities recognised at acquisition date are estimated and determined provisionally.

The rehabilitation provision recognised by the Group relates to site restoration and rehabilitation obligations associated with the Granville Project under Mining Lease 2M-2018, held by Ten Star Mining Pty Ltd. As security for these obligations, the Company has lodged a deposit with Mineral Resources Tasmania (“MRT”). This deposit forms part of the security deposits disclosed in Note 10, which total $885,068 at year-end. Of this amount, $628,000 specifically relates to the Granville site rehabilitation.

The above fair values recognised on acquisition are determined on a provisional basis. If new information is obtained within one year of the date of acquisition about facts and circumstances that existed at the date of acquisition identifies adjustments to the above amounts, or any additional provisions that existed at the date of acquisition, then the accounting for the acquisition will be revised.

The Group incurred $110,653 in costs related to the acquisition of Spero.
