REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

The total loss from continuing operations for the half-year ended 31 December 2017 was $5,498,696 (2016: $174,095).

This loss includes exploration and tenement acquisition expenses totalling $4,532,200 - $3,450,322 of this amount relates to the acquisition of exploration tenements and technical databases in Canada and includes a charge for non-cash share-based payments totalling $960,000 which are required to be valued and brought to account in accordance with Australian accounting standards.

The Group’s activities during the six-month period are summarised in this report which unless otherwise stated, should be read as if dated 31 December 2017.

PROJECT REPORT

During the period, the Company finalised the acquisition of its three 100% owned primary cobalt and Cu-Ni-PGE projects located in Quebec and Ontario, Canada, followed by the commencement of a high impact exploration program on all three projects. The Company also completed further acquisitions strategically increasing its foothold in two highly prospective territories.

Acquisitions

Midrim:

An additional 138 claims within the Baby segment of the Belleterre-Angliers Greenstone belt (BAG) were staked by the Group during the period, representing 82.53km2 of highly prospective ground covering the northern extents of the greenstone belt. The acquired ground covers an additional 13 of the 36 EM targets historically identified by Falconbridge, which now gives the Group access to a total of 24 historical targets.

Technical database

To complement the expanding landholding, during the period, the Company negotiated to acquire a comprehensive database of raw technical information as well as geological interpretations covering the entire Belleterre-Angliers Greenstone Belt, with a replacement value exceeding $5 million. The negotiated purchase price and fair value in accordance with accounting standards was estimated to be approximately 8% of replacement value and included integral data such as regional Aerial EM and Magnetic surveys as well as a comprehensive database of drilling results.

The acquisition of the technical data enabled the Group to gain significant insight into the geological opportunities within the BAG and represents a multi-year advancement of the exploration program. Reprocessing and analysis of the technical data commenced during the period with results expected within Q4 2017.

Significant items included in the database:

  • Airborne EM surveys – 4 channels

  • Airborne magnetic survey

  • Ground based EM surveys

  • Ground inductive polarisation

  • Soil/rock chip geochemistry

  • Multi-element drill database

Mulligan East

During the quarter, the Group has staked additional ground prospective for cobalt approximately 5km east of the Mulligan Cobalt project, situated in Ontario’s Cobalt Embayment, renowned for its historic production in excess of 28 million tonnes cobalt and 720 million ounces silver (ASX Release 26 May 2017).

The Group’s new ground will form the Mulligan East Cobalt project consisting of 90 claims totalling 13.7km2, situated 50km north of the historic cobalt mining centre of Cobalt and approximately 5km east of the existing Mulligan claims; targeting high-grade silvercobalt (Ag-Co) vein-style mineralisation similar to that mined at Cobalt.

Similar trending structures that hosted the historical high-grade cobalt production at Mulligan has been identified over the length of the Mulligan East project, see Figure 2 below

Technical Programs

Mulligan:

Commencement of cobalt exploration program targeting Mulligan

Within the period, the Group initiated an exploration program it’s Ontario based primary cobalt exploration projects. The Mulligan property was initially acquired due to the documented cobalt-rich polymetallic vein system which historically produced a bulk sample of 8 tonnes averaging 10% Co as well as historical high-grade rock samples collected by the Ontario Department of Mines in 1952, which yielded 12.6% cobalt, 1.03% nickel, 29.76 g/t gold and 39.69 g/t silver (Sample No. 23730) and Conwest Exploration, yielding 19% cobalt and 56.69 g/t gold.

The work conducted on the Mulligan Property included:

  • geological mapping; rock chip sampling and identification of possible channel sampling locations

  • collection of 300 soil samples and 7.3 line kms of IP surveying at 25m intervals along 100m spaced lines

  • detailed ground magnetics continuously recorded along 100m spaced lines

Confirmation of High-grade cobalt results at Mulligan

Results from the rock chip and grab sampling survey covering the Mulligan project area produced visible cobalt bloom (erythrite) and cobaltite with samples assaying up to 9.71% cobalt and 14.3 g/t gold (Figure 3). Systematic mapping conducted over the prospective area revealed two vein sets hosted within Nippissing Diabase. It is apparent that historical mining occurred along the two vein systems.

Figure 3 Sample 627674 returned results of 9.71% Co, 14.3 g/t Au, 16.5 g/t Ag

Midrim Cu-Ni-PGE project:

Re-interpretation of historical EM and aeromagnetic surveys

The company completed a re-interpretation program of the MegaTEM airborne electromagnetic and high-resolution aeromagnetic surveys which targeted the Baby segment of the Belleterre-Angliers Greenstone Belt. As a result of the re-interpretation program 19 previously untested targets has been identified including 7 high-priority targets and possible extensions to the Midrim Cu-Ni-PGE mineralisation. Targets are present as near surface responses interpreted to be shallow drilling targets. The dominant EM response at Midrim is oriented approximately east-west and is seen to extend over 500m.

Re-assaying program:

A verification program was conducted on 9 historical drill cores with a total of 188 samples taken. The purpose of the program was to verify the shallow high-grade intercepts previously reported. Highlight intercepts from the program are shown in Table 1 below.

Completion of maiden drilling campaign

Within the period, the Group completed 2,600m of drilling targeting the Midrim deposit. Within this campaign the exploration team completed the following:

  • Drilled 15 NQ diamond core holes

  • Reopened four historical holes for geophysical survey;

  • Down hole electromagnetic (DHEM) surveying of 21 holes;

  • 5.6 km of surface EM surveying on eight lines over the Midrim; Midrim West and North Gabbro prospects; and

  • 900 line-metres of surface EM over the Midrim North geophysical target

Significant zones of massive sulphide were intersected within the program (Figure 4), with assay results expected within Q1 2018.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2017

==> picture [154 x 52] intentionally omitted <==

NOTE 1 BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Preparation

These general purpose financial statements for the interim half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2017 have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standard 134: Interim Financial Reporting .

These financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on the date of the Directors Declaration.

This interim financial report is intended to provide users with an update on the latest annual financial statements of Meteoric Resources NL (the “ Company ”) and its subsidiary (together, the “ Group ”). As such, it does not contain information that represents relatively insignificant changes occurring during the half-year. It is therefore recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2017, together with any public announcements made by the Company during the half-year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001.

These financial statements have been prepared on an accruals and historical cost basis, except where indicated.

These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis that contemplates normal business activities and the realisation of assets and extinguishment of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

Accounting Policies

The same accounting policies and methods of computation have been followed in this interim financial report as were applied in the most recent annual financial statements.

The Group has adopted all the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are mandatory for the current reporting period. The adoption of these Accounting standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the Group.

Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards of Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been adopted early. These standards are unlikely to significantly impact on the financial performance or position of the Group.

NOTE 2 OPERATING SEGMENTS

Segment Information

Identification of reportable segments

The Group has identified that it operates in only one segment based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the board of directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. The Group’s principal activity is mineral exploration.

Assets by geographical region

The Group’s mineral assets, which are not capitalised, are located within Australia and Canada.

Major customers

Due to the nature of its current operations, the Group does not provide products and services.

(i) In August 2017 the Company acquired Cobalt Canada Pty Ltd. The acquisition of Cobalt Canada Pty Ltd was assessed by the directors and it was determined that the acquisition was an acquisition of tenements rather than a business combination as Cobalt Canada Pty Ltd was not considered to meet the definition of a “business” under AASB 3 Business Combinations . The Group’s accounting policy is to expense all exploration and evaluation expenses, which includes acquisition costs of rights to explore. Thus, the costs have been expensed to the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income during the period.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2017

==> picture [154 x 52] intentionally omitted <==

NOTE 5 EQUITY-SETTLED SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

On 25 October 2017, 30,000,000 Advisor Class A Options ( Class A Options ) were granted to advisors in relation to the acquisition outlined in Note 3. The Class A Options vest on the date on which the volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares trading on the ASX over 20 consecutive trading days is at least $0.04, are not listed and are exercisable at a price of $0.011 each on or before 25.10.2020.

The value of the Class A Options was calculated by an independent valuer using a number of closed form and open form models and benchmarked against the IFRS recommended binomial algorithm. Each Class A Option was ascribed a fair value of $0.019 at the date of issue using the following factors:

lndependent Auditor's Review Report

To the members of Meteoric Resources NL

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Meteoric Resources NL, which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2017, the statement of profit or loss and comprehensive incarne, statement of changes in equity and the 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.

Directors' Responsibility for the Half-Year 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 internai contrai as the directors' determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financia/ Report Performed by the lndependent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the company's financial position as at 31 December 2017 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard MSB 134 lnterim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of Meteoric Resources NL, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the an nuai financial report.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persans 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.

lndependence

ln conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
