MinRex Resources Limited Director’s Report

Operational and business risks

The Group’s activities have inherent risk and the Board is unable to provide certainty of the expected results of these activities, or that any or all of these likely activities will be achieved. The material business risks faced by the Group that could influence the Group’s future prospects, and how the Board manages these risks, are outlined below.

Access to and dependence on Capital Raisings

The development of the Group’s current or future projects may require additional funding.

There can be no assurance that additional capital financing will be available, if needed for exploration and operations, or that, if available, the terms of such financing will be favourable to the Group.

Risk of failure in exploration

Payment of compensation is ordinarily necessary to acquire interest or participating interests in tenements. Also, surveying and exploratory drilling expenses (exploration expenses) become necessary at the time of exploration activities for the purpose of discovering resources.

There is, however, no guarantee of discovering resources on a scale that makes development and production feasible. The probability of such discoveries is considerably low despite various technological advances in recent years, and even when resources are discovered the scale of the reserves does not necessarily make commercial production feasible. For this reason, if there are impossibilities of recovery of an investment in an area of interest, the Group conservatively recognises an impairment, corresponding the amount of investment and exploration expenditure, while considering the recovery possibility of each project.

Although exploration (including the acquisition of interests) is necessary to secure the area of interest or economically recoverable reserves essential to the Group’s future sustainable business development, each type of investment involves technological and economic risks, and failed exploration could have an adverse effect on the results of the Group’s operations.

Shares under option or issued on exercise of options

Details of unissued shares or interests under options as at the date of this report are:

10 cent Unlisted options expiring 2 December 2024 86,895,162 10 cent Unlisted options expiring 2 December 2024 10,000,000 10 cent Unlisted options expiring 2 December 2025 5,000,000 12 cent Unlisted options expiring 2 December 2025 5,000,000

The holders of these options do not have the right, by virtue of the option, to participate in any share issue or interest issue of the Company or of any other body corporate or registered scheme.

Indemnification and insurance of directors and officers

The Company has made an agreement indemnifying all the Directors and officers of the Company against all losses or liabilities incurred by each Director or officer in their capacity as Directors or officers of the Company to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. The indemnification specifically excludes wilful acts of negligence. The Company paid insurance premiums in respect of Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance contracts for current officers of the Company. The liabilities insured are damages and legal costs that may be incurred in defending civil or criminal proceedings that may be brought against the officers in their capacity as officers of the Company. The total amount of insurance premiums paid has not been disclosed due to confidentiality reasons.

Indemnification of auditors

To the extent permitted by law, the Company has agreed to indemnify its auditors as part of the terms of its audit engagement agreement against claims by third parties arising from the audit (for an unspecified amount). No payment has been made to indemnify BDO Audit Pty Ltd during or since the financial year.

Non-audit services

The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the year is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001. The Directors are satisfied that the services disclosed below did not compromise the external auditors’ independence for the following reasons:

  • all non-audit services are reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors prior to commencement to ensure they do not adversely affect the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and

  • the nature of the services provided does not compromise the general principles relating to auditor independence in accordance with APES 110: Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) set by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board.

During the financial year, the auditors provided tax compliance services for $1,622. Refer to Note 14.

Auditor independence declaration

Section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 requires the Company’s auditors, BDO Audit Pty Ltd, to provide the Directors of the Company with an Independence Declaration in relation to the review of the financial report. This Independence Declaration is disclosed on page 50 of this report and forms part of this Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2024.

Review of operations

Marble Bar Lithium Projects

The Marble Bar projects cover an area of 71km[2 ] comprising the Sisters tenement (E45/5871), Garden Creek tenement (E45/5869) and Talga tenement (E45/5873), which are located within a 30km radius of the Marble Bar town site. These projects are considered to be prospective for hard rock, lithium-caesium-tantalum (LCT) type pegmatites, with the Sisters and Garden Creek tenements covering portions of the fertile Marble Bar Greenstone belt and areas of interest at the Sisters Tenement occurring within the interpreted “Goldilocks Zone”, a defined corridor in which LCT type pegmatites are known to exist.

Dr Nigel Brand of Geochemical Services Pty Ltd was engaged to conduct an independent review of the existing geochemical data from the Marble Bar Projects. Following this review, a soil sampling program was completed over the Garden Creek and Sisters tenements and in November 2023 the Company received and interpreted the assay results.

A total of 2,099 soil samples were collected over a nominally 100m by 25m spaced grid at the Sisters tenement and 400m by 100m grid at the Garden Creek tenement. The soil samples were assayed for 48 multi-elements, including an industry standard suite of LCT pathfinder elements.

==> picture [429 x 235] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 1 – Marble Bar Tenements location map.

The assay results from the samples collected at the Sisters tenement were generally consistent with the original broad spaced soil sampling and better delineated several discrete elevated lithium areas (>100ppm lithium). 4- 5 broad zones were defined by a cluster of >100ppm lithium, mostly in close proximity to the contact between mafic and ultramafic dominant rock types (North Star Basalt / McPhee Formation) with granites of the Homeward Bound Granite. The lithium assays at Sisters tenement range between 3.7ppm and 280ppm lithium (median 51.8ppm lithium). At >150ppm lithium these elevated assay results remain and become less broad and more discrete.

8

MinRex Resources Limited Director’s Report

At the Garden Creek tenement, the lithium assays range between 13.6ppm and 102ppm (median 34.7ppm lithium). At >100ppm lithium there are no discrete multi sample elevated lithium results. Although multiple elevated results are interpreted at >50ppm lithium, these do not define clusters that would be considered anomalous. It is the intention of the Company to undertake reconnaissance over the higher tenor lithium soil assays to determine if there are outcropping LCT pegmatites and if they are present to ascertain their mineralogy to see if targets exist requiring further exploration.

In June 2024, the Company received and interpreted the assay results from a total of 31 rock chip samples collected. The rock chip samples were assayed for 48 multi-elements, including the usual suite of LCT pathfinder elements.

In conjunction with the soil sampling program, further reconnaissance which involved rock chip sampling was undertaken over large areas of the Greenstone belt in the northwest portion of the Sisters tenement. Field observations and assay results confirmed that, generally, the elevated lithium from the soil sampling assays is associated with alteration of the mafic and ultramafic dominant rock types (North Star Basalt / McPhee Formation) containing the elevated Li with granites of the Homeward Bound Granite. The lithium assays at the Sisters tenement range between 5.3ppm and 66ppm Li (median 25ppm Li). The median lithium of the rock chip samples was around 50% that of the soils and likely represents an upgrading through liberation of mica due to weathering of the host rocks in the soil profile.

MinRex Resources Limited Director’s Report

==> picture [464 x 535] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 2 – Sister Rock Chip Samples Results on E45/5871

Reconnaissance exploration at the Garden Creek tenement identified a large (200m length by 20m wide) pegmatite outcropping as a ridge amongst granitic rocks of the Munganbrina Monzogranite. A total of three rock chip samples were collected from different mineralogical zones across the pegmatite. The best results were 573ppm Li; 1385ppm Rb; 41.6ppm Cs; 331ppm Sn; and 148ppm Ta from sample MR00465. Sample MR00465 (Figure 3) was from a large micaceous zone within the pegmatite and the lithium, and other elevated elements may reflect a more fractionated portion of the pegmatite. The other two samples of predominantly feldsparquartz dominant pegmatite did no return anomalous LCT-style assays.

MinRex Resources Limited Director’s Report

==> picture [459 x 620] intentionally omitted <==

To continue with the geological review of the areas, the Company will undertake mineralogical analysis/studies to determine the source of the lithium in the rock chip samples collected and sample MR00465 to see if targets exist requiring further exploration.

MinRex Resources Limited Director’s Report

Sofala Gold Project (NSW)

Following the successful extension of the Company’s Farm-in and Joint Venture Agreement with Wattle Resources in relation to EL7974 for a further three years to 2026, the Department of Regional NSW - Mining Exploration and Geoscience recommended EL7974 for renewal for 3 years now expiring 11 October 2026.

All historical and recent geochemical and drilling data were compiled and consolidated into a single database as part of the Sofala Project review. Interpretation, targeting and resource modelling for Spring Gully (EL7423), Surface Hill (EL7974) and Queenslander (EL7423) were completed by Geological Consultants Geowiz and was used as the basis for the diamond drilling program on EL7423 at the Queenslander Deposit, which commenced on 14 December 2023.

The initial staged program comprising 4 diamond holes for approximately 500m was designed to follow up on significant gold mineralisation intersected at the Queenslander Deposit in reverse circulation drilling conducted in 2021. The Company obtained regulatory approvals from the Department of Regional NSW- Mining Exploration and Geoscience to drill up to 8 diamond drill holes for a total of 1,200 meters to test for depth and strike extensions of gold mineralization at the Queenslander Deposit (EL 7423) to further delineate the resource.

==> picture [433 x 361] intentionally omitted <==

MinRex Resources Limited Director’s Report

In February 2024, the Company announced the results of the diamond drilling at the Queenslander Gold Prospect on EL 7423. Between December 2023 and January 2024, four diamond drill holes for 552m were completed to test high-grade gold mineralisation intersected in historic drillholes and those completed in 2021.

Sunny Corner Settlement

In 2021, the Company entered into formal Farm-in and Joint Venture Agreements with Sunny Silver Pty Ltd and Sunshine Reclamation Pty Ltd to acquire a 90% interest in Exploration Lease EL 5964 by spending $1.5 million on exploration expenditure within 3 years.

The Company formally withdrew from the Farm-In and Joint Venture Agreements in March 2023, but there were various claims made by the project owner regarding compliance under the joint venture agreement, which the Company disputed, and the parties resolved this on a confidential and without prejudice basis. All claims under the joint venture agreement were settled on a without prejudice admission basis, in lieu of the Company making a $200,000 cash payment to Sunny Silver Pty Ltd and Sunshine Reclamation Pty Ltd.

Divestments

Eastern Pilbara Tenements to Tambourah Metals Limited

In July 2023, the Company announced the sale of 6 of the Company’s Eastern Pilbara tenements to ASX Listed Company Tambourah Metals Limited (ASX: TMB), the Company received compensation for the sale of tenements in cash and shares. The divestment of the 6 tenements resulted in a significant saving for the Company with annual commitments of expenditure, rent and rates of approximately $350,000.

Tancred Lithium Project – Ireland

After completing its technical review of the Project through a field reconnaissance conducted in May 2023, the Company provided notice to withdraw from its exclusive option to purchase the Tancred Lithium Project held by Tancred Resources Ltd in the prospective Leinster Pegmatite belt in Southeast Ireland.

Divestment of East Pilbara and Midwest Tenements to HearMeOut Limited

The Company entered a conditional binding terms sheet with HearMeOut Limited for the sale of 3 East Pilbara and 1 Midwest tenement. The tenements comprise the Coondina South tenements (E45/5850, E45/6186 and E45/1381) and Deflector E59/1657), subject to HearMeOut Limited re-listing on the ASX by compliance with Chapters 1 & 2 of the ASX Listing Rules.

Divestment of Soanesville Mineral Rights

The Company entered into a binding term sheet, through which Abeh Pty Ltd and Maxwell Peter Strindberg agreed to grant the Company mineral rights to battery metals, tin and rare earth metals on exploration licences E45/5071, E45/4455 and E45/3926 (Mineral Rights) situated in Soanesville in the Pilbara, Western Australia.

After conducting a strategic review of the company's existing holdings, it was determined that the Mineral Rights areas exhibit low prospectivity for battery minerals, tin and rare earth metals. Accordingly, the Company negotiated a withdrawal with the Mineral Rights vendors allowing the Company to be released from all further rights and obligations in respect of the Mineral Rights pursuant to a termination and release agreement effective 22 November 2023.

Divestment of Daltons to JV Partner SR (Retention Entity) Pty Ltd

In October 2023, after conducting a review of the gold potential of tenement E45/4681, the company’s 100% subsidiary SR (Sale Entity) Pty Ltd entered into a binding heads of agreement with SR (Retention Entity) Pty Ltd. SR (Sale Entity) Pty Ltd sold its 70% interest in the project to the Joint Venture Partner SR (Retention Entity) Pty Ltd for a cash consideration of $15,000.

Subsequent Events

The Company has a farm-in agreement with Fortuis Mines Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Australia United Mining Limited (ASX: AYM), which commenced in February 2021. Since then, the Company has solely funded a range of exploration activities on EL 7423.

Subsequent to the end of the financial year, the Company announced that it earned a 51% interest in EL 7423, which hosts the Queenslander Gold Project and Spring Gully Gold Project. Earning a 51% interest in EL 7423 is a significant achievement as EL 7423 hosts gold resources totaling 323,900 oz Au (Inferred) of the global Sofala Project resources of 352,000 oz Au (Inferred), giving the Company an interest in a significant gold endowment at EL 7423.

Pursuant to the farm-in and joint venture agreement with Fortuis Mines Pty Ltd, the Company will enter into unincorporated joint venture with Fortuis to progress exploration on EL 7423 and will continue to explore the tenement for further gold mineralisation focusing on extensive old workings that remain untested by modern exploration techniques.

After the end of the financial year, in July, the Company announced the details of the Mt Pleasant sampling results. A total of seven rock chip samples were collected: four from the main historic workings at the Crown Au Mine and a further three from the Glasscock Prospect.

==> picture [398 x 233] intentionally omitted <==

Minrex Resources Limited (the 'head entity') and its wholly owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime. The tax consolidated group has applied the 'separate taxpayer within group' approach in determining the appropriate amount of taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group.

Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the tax consolidated group. The tax funding arrangement ensures that the intercompany charge equals the current tax liability or benefit of each tax consolidated group member, resulting in neither a contribution by the head entity to the subsidiaries nor a distribution by the subsidiaries to the head entity.

(h) Trade and other receivables

Amounts receivable from third parties are carried at amortised cost. The recoverability of the debts is assessed at balance date and specific allowance is made for any doubtful accounts. The simplified expected credit loss model has been used.

(i) Mining tenements and mineral exploration and evaluation expenditure

Exploration and evaluation costs are written off in the year they are incurred. Acquisition costs are capitalised and carried forward where right to tenure of the area of interest is current and they are expected to be recouped through sale or successful development and exploitation of the area of interest or, where exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

Where an area of interest is abandoned or the Directors decide that it is not commercial, any accumulated acquisition costs in respect of that area are written off in the financial period the decision is made. Each area of interest is also reviewed at the end of each accounting period and accumulated costs are written off to the extent that they will not be recoverable in the future.

Amortisation is not charged on costs carried forward in respect of areas of interest in the development phase until production commences.

(j) Right-of-use assets

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the Company expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life.

The Company has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets.

(k) Impairment of assets

At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed in profit and loss.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

(l) Trade and other payables

The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 – 45 days of recognition.

(m) Contributed equity

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown as a deduction from the equity proceeds, net of any income tax benefit.

(n) Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.

Financials instruments (except for trade receivables) are measured initially at fair value adjusted by transactions costs, except for those carried “at fair value through profit or loss”, in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss. Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine the fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted. Subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities are described below.

Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and all substantial risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled, or expires.

Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are measured at the transaction price in accordance with AASB 15, all financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs (where applicable).

For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments, are classified into the following categories upon initial recognition:

30

2. Summary of Material Accounting Policies (cont’d)

(n) Financial instruments (cont’d)

a) Financial assets at amortised cost

Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the assets meet the following conditions (and are not designated as FVPL):

  • they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets and collect its

  • contractual cash flows; and

  • the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and

  • interest on the principal amount outstanding

After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Group entity cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments.

b) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income include equity investments which the consolidated entity intends to hold for the foreseeable future and has irrevocably elected to classify them as such upon initial recognition.

c) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets not measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Typically, such financial assets will be either: (i) held for trading, where they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the short- term with the intention of making a profit, or a derivative; or (ii) designated as such as upon initial recognition where permitted. Fair value movements are recognised in profit or loss.

d) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities ‘at FVTPL’ or ‘other financial liabilities’.

e) Impairment

The Group entity assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivables, the Group entity applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.

(o) Parent entity information

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

(p) New accounting standards for application in future periods

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2024. The Group has not yet assessed the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations.

3. Critical accounting estimates, judgments and assumptions

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments and estimates relating to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from the estimates made. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.

The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next accounting period are:

Impairment of exploration and evaluation assets and investments in and loans to subsidiaries

The ultimate recoupment of the value of exploration and evaluation assets, the Company’s investment in subsidiaries, and loans to subsidiaries is dependent on the successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale, of the exploration and evaluation asset.

A review of impairment indicators is carried out on a regular basis. There is significant estimation and judgement in assessing impairment indicators.

The key areas of judgement and estimation include:

  • Recent exploration and evaluation results and resource estimates;

  • Environmental issues that may impact on the underlying tenements;

  • Fundamental economic factors that have an impact on the planned operations and carrying values of assets and liabilities.

Share-based payment transactions

The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes model, or the up-and-in trinomial option pricing 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. Refer to note 15 for further information.

4. Segment information

For management purposes, the Company is organised into one main operating segment, which involves exploration for gold and other minerals. All of the Company’s activities are interrelated, and discrete financial information is reported to the Board (Chief Operating Decision Makers) as a single segment.

MinRex Resources Limited Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2024

4. Segment information (cont’d)

Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based upon analysis of the Company as one segment. The financial results from this segment are equivalent to the consolidated financial statements of the Company as a whole. Total revenue earned by the Company is generated in Australia and all the Company’s non-current assets reside in Australia.

This benefit from tax losses totalling $8,291,283 (2023: $6,424,899) will only be obtained if the specific entity carrying forward the tax losses derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions for the losses to be realised, and the Company complies with the conditions for deductibility imposed by tax legislation.

Income tax Consolidation

MinRex and its wholly owned Australian subsidiaries are part of an income tax consolidated group and have entered into tax sharing and tax funding agreements. Under the terms of these agreements, the subsidiaries will reimburse MinRex for any current income tax payable by MinRex arising in respect of their activities. The reimbursements are payable at the same time as the associated income tax liability falls due and will therefore be recognised as a current tax-related receivable by MinRex when they arise. In the opinion of the Directors, the tax sharing agreement is also a valid agreement under the tax consolidation legislation and limits the joint and several liability of the subsidiaries in the case of a default by MinRex.

Terms and conditions of contributed equity

Ordinary shares participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company in proportion to the number of shares held. The fully paid ordinary shares have no par value.

At the shareholders’ meetings each ordinary share is entitled to one vote when a poll is called, otherwise each shareholder has one vote on a show of hands.

Capital risk management

The Group’s and the Parent’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain optimal capital structure to reduce the costs of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may issue new shares or sell assets. During 2024 financial year, the Group’s strategy, which was unchanged from 2023 financial year, was to not maintain borrowings outside of trade and other payables.

17. Financial risk management (cont’d)

(a) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of financial instruments.

The Company’s exposure to market risk for changes to interest rate risk relates primarily to its earnings on cash.

Interest rate sensitivity

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity of the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income to a reasonably possible change in variable interest rates, with all other variables constant.

Effect on equity

(116,870)
(116,870)

A sensitivity of 100 basis points has been used as this is considered reasonable given the current level of both short term and long-term Australian Dollar interest rates. The change in basis points is derived from a review of historical movements and management’s judgement of future trends.

(b) Equity price risk

Equity price risk arises on financial assets recognised at FVTPL due to fluctuation in share prices of the investments which are listed on the Australian Stock Exchange.

Equity price sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis below has determined based on the exposure to fluctuations in shares prices at the end on the reporting period.

If share prices had been 100 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s loss for the year ended 30 June 2024 would decrease/increase by $161 (2023: 1,113).

(c) Fair value

Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position are grouped into three levels of a fair value hierarchy.

47

MinRex Resources Limited Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2024

17. Financial risk management (cont’d)

The three levels are defined based on the observe ability of significant inputs to the measurement, as follows:

  • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

• Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and

  • Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

18. Contingent liabilities and commitments

Pursuant to the Sofala Projects and the Sofala Farm-in Rights, a 2% net smelter royalty in respect of all mineral production from the Sofala Projects and the Sofala Farm-in Rights will be payable by the Company upon the achievement of the set milestone.

Pursuant to the acquisition of Odette Five Pty Ltd a 1% gross overriding royalty payable on any minerals extracted from E45/5869, E45/5871 & E45/5873 tenement is also payable on the achievement of the set milestone.

As at the date of this report, no other contingent liabilities or commitments had been identified.

19. Capital commitments

The Company’s minimum expenditure commitments in relation to its tenements are as follows:

20. Events subsequent to reporting date

The Company has a farm-in agreement with Fortuis Mines Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Australia United Mining Limited (ASX: AYM), which commenced in February 2021. Since then, the Company has solely funded a range of exploration activities on EL 7423.

Subsequent to the end of the financial year, the Company announced that it earned a 51% interest in EL 7423, which hosts the Queenslander Gold Project and Spring Gully Gold Project. Earning a 51% interest in EL 7423 is a significant achievement as EL 7423 hosts gold resources totaling 323,900 oz Au (Inferred) of the global Sofala Project resources of 352,000 oz Au (Inferred), giving the Company an interest in a significant gold endowment at EL 7423.

Pursuant to the farm-in and joint venture agreement with Fortuis Mines Pty Ltd, the Company will enter into unincorporated joint venture with Fortuis to progress exploration on EL 7423 and will continue to explore the tenement for further gold mineralisation focusing on extensive old workings that remain untested by modern exploration techniques.

After the end of the financial year, in July, the Company announced the details of the Mt Pleasant sampling results. A total of seven rock chip samples were collected: four from the main historic workings at the Crown Au Mine and a further three from the Glasscock Prospect.

48

MinRex Resources Limited Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2024

20. Events subsequent to reporting date (cont’d)

The Company also engaged Merlin Geophysics to compile, process and interpret all geophysical survey data in conjunction with the historic exploration data, including an extensive geochemical (rock chip, soils and stream sediment sample) data set and undertake target generation. The aim of the work is to generate additional targets for ranking and further on-ground assessment with initial focus on the porphyry Cu-Au targets across the Mt Pleasant project.

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since the end of the period that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the Company's operations, the results of those operations, or the Company's state of affairs in the future financial years.

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.

Other information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2024, 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 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 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 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 has 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.
