04 MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN GRAHAM DICKSON

==> picture [160 x 183] intentionally omitted <==

When I was appointed Chairman of Monument’s Board of Directors in February 2021, the world was in the middle of this unprecedented demanding time with the challenges of the Covid19 global pandemic which has entirely changed the way we work and live. Vaccines are being distributed around the world and countries enacting stimulus plans to support weakened economies. Monument’s board has put the health and well-being of our employees and our communities to the forefront. We are navigating the pandemic together and working to manage risk in all parts of the operations to keep our business strong.

I was extremely honored to be the successor to Robert Baldock. Mr. Baldock created a strong legacy for Monument and the board has always been aligned with his philosophy to build value through growth in the Company’s mineral property portfolio. I will diligently progress this culture, and we will be doing everything within our capacity to advance our value creation strategies, continue to strengthen the Company’s gold resource base, and protect shareholder equity.

Over the past year, the Monument management team and employees have tirelessly worked together for the safety of our people and to successfully execute the business objectives. I want to offer my genuine appreciation to all Monument employees, who have

displayed incredible stability, inner strength and understanding in response to the Covid-19 pandemic and the obstacles we faced together.

In fiscal 2021, the board wholeheartedly supported the corporate development strategies by management. The Company has streamlined operations by spinning out the Mengapur base metals project in Malaysia, and sold an 80% interest in the Tuckanarra gold property in Western Australia. The strengthened cash reserves allows us to fund the Selinsing Flotation Plant expansion and exploration of Murchison to support and implement the corporate strategy

The first value creation strategy is to advance the Selinsing Sulphide Project into production through a two stage de-risking process. The first stage is the construction of a flotation plant to produce gold concentrates, and the cash generated from these sales will be used as construction funding for stage 2; the BIOX[®] plant. Over the past 14 years Selinsing has been the flagship project, with a dedicated operations team, and has an additional six-year life of mine for the sulphide project.

The second value creation strategy is to develop the Murchison Gold Project into a cornerstone asset though a twoyear exploration program to potentially delineate additional ounces to increase the existing 381koz NI 43-101 compliant

measured, indicated and inferred resources to build out an early-stage production story for the already permitted plant and infrastructure.

The third value creation strategy is to seek suitable gold asset acquisition targets to move Monument to a larger gold producer in order to build better market value for shareholders.

Each one of these value creation strategies can provide an increase in the Company’s asset value and provides potential catalysts for re-rating the share price going forward into fiscal 2022 and beyond for our shareholders. Monument is open to all opportunities to optimize our future growth.

Our Board is working hard to ensure that the Company’s successful track record continues and this year demonstrates we have the right team to conquer all the challenges the future may hold for our employees, communities and shareholders.

Sincerely,

Graham DIckson Chairman

05 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT & CEO CATHY ZHAI

In spite of the challenges of the Covid19 pandemic on the world’s economy and its citizens, Monument and its people have responded quickly and effectively to safeguard our employees and support our communities as a top priority, and minimize production risk.

Selinsing Gold Mine produced 10,282 ounces of gold in 2021 from mining super-low grade ore, leachable sulphide ore and Peranggih materials for gross revenue of $23.24 million, a gross margin of $8.10 million and net cash from production of $4.81 million. This has brought our aggregated Selinsing Gold Mine production to 325,509 ounces at an average cost of $535 per ounce with gross revenue of $452.1 million, gross margin of $279.3 million and net cash from production of $275.0 million. Our corporate philosophy is “Can Do” and “Doer”. We are proud of our management and employees that their commitment and determination have continuously been winning the battle against Covid interruption of the operations, the transition to sulphide gold production from oxide production and so on.

By spinning out 100% of the Mengapur base metal project and 80% of the Tuckanarra property, we have made a breakthrough achievement in fiscal 2021: restructured our mineral portfolio with gold focus and liberated cash to support our ongoing corporate and gold projects. As of June 30, 2021, we established a solid financial position with over $38.62 million in cash and cash equivalents on hand; this increased liquidity improves the company’s credit profile and financial strength.

Development work at Selinsing prioritized flotation plant construction with both internal and external flotation testwork taking place, which has validated the design parameters to deliver marketable gold concentrates for sale in June 2021. Detailed engineering work and procurement are underway for construction.

Moving forward, we have laid the groundwork in the last quarter for the Company’s value creation strategies to build incremental gold resources and reserves, and increase the production profile through exploration, the plant expansion and disciplined acquisitions. The market reflects this increased value with a higher share price to benefit our shareholders comparing to the beginning of the year.

During 2021 we have increased drilling expenditures at Selinsing pits and Peranggih south and central to locate more economic oxide and leachable sulphide materials, expecting to sustain production to bridge the transition period. Peranggih production has made a noticeable contribution to revenue.

A journey of a thousand miles starts beneath one’s feet. The Company is focused on implementing its three pronged development objectives: to establish the Murchison Gold Project as a cornerstone gold development project; to place the Selinsing sulphide project into production by implementing a two-stage approach; and to build the production profile through additional targeted acquisitions or other transactions in the gold sector. The corporate and projects development shall be reviewed from time to time accordingly upon changes in market conditions.

The Murchison Project refocused on optimizing regional exploration targets and assessing the opportunity for early production to turn Murchison into a cornerstone project. The decision has been made to hold off early stage production based on the economic re-assessment completed during

==> picture [159 x 183] intentionally omitted <==

2021 which has been extensively reviewed by SRK and from geological interpretation work.

The Company announced a 2 year exploration program in the fourth quarter, aiming to add significant additional resources to the current resource base. The strategy involves testing the high priority regional targets through Greenfield exploration at Burnakura and Gabanintha to discover shallow stand alone or satellite gold deposits, as well as testing down dip of high-grade mineralization underneath existing pits. In July 2021, subsequent to the year end, phase one drilling commenced in field. We will monitor the drilling programs very closely and announce our drill results as practical as possible to the market.

Looking ahead to fiscal 2022, we will stay focused and persistent, and we will be open minded and be creative. I would like to take this opportunity to thank and acknowledge our employees and business partners for their alertness, teamwork, and strength they have shown during this very difficult year. And thank you to all our shareholders and stakeholders, and may everyone stay safe in 2022. Together we shall face the challenges of the Covid pandemic, uniting us as we continue on our successful path to advance our value creation strategies forward into the future.

Sincerely,

In fiscal 2021 the gold price has had moderate volatility and remained relatively unchanged from a year ago. There have been geopolitical uncertainties that have affected gold’s short-term volatility, and as well world economies continue to use stimulus packages and the printing of money to revive their financial systems as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic’s negative effects on financial economies. The continuation of these global trends into 2022 is the underpinning for a potentially stronger gold price.

EXPLORATION

At the Selinsing Gold Mine the short-term exploration is focused on existing mine areas, such as Selinsing, Buffalo Reef South (BRS), BRC, and Buffalo Reef North (“BRN”), to locate more oxide and leachable sulphide ore through extensional drilling to increase mill feed for the current gold plant configuration. Opportunities for infill and extension drilling have also been verified on and around Selinsing Pits, particularly Pit 5 and Pit 6, aiming to intercept oxide shallow high-grade mineralization.

A RC drilling program was completed at Selinsing which consisted of 1,128m over 19 holes at Pits 4, 5, and 6. A total of 1,335 samples including 225 QAQC samples were assayed. The drill program aimed to identify and define mineralization areas with average grades that can be immediately mined economically in the current CIL plant. The main drilling target was the shallow dipping structure extension close to the east flank of the pits. The drilling program resulted with several significant intercepts.

“The strategy at Selinsing is to place the Sulphide Project into production by implementing a two-stage approach and deliver flotation production in the second quarter of 2022.”

A RC drill program was undertaken at Peranggih to upgrade the grade and ounce of mineralized material from grade control drilling. The program consists of two phases with the first phase completed in April 2021 with 1,697m drilled over 34 holes. The second phase drilling was interrupted by the mine closure and nationwide lockdown due to rising Covid-19 cases, with 420m over 9 holes completed and still in progress at yearend. Drill assays received from the Selinsing Mine lab showed moderate to high grade interceptions.

DEVELOPMENT

The Selinsing Gold Mine continues to mine oxide and transition ore as preparation work is progressing for the transition from oxide gold production to sulphide gold production and to convert the current plant to one with a sulphide treatment circuit. Flotation plant construction has been prioritized as the first phase of the sulphide gold production.

Development work during the year focused on improving the performance of flotation recoveries and optimization of the flotation plant conceptual design. Flotation testwork took place during the year both in-house and at the on-site metallurgical laboratory, which provided positive results. Additionally, independent off-site flotation testwork at Bureau Veritas Laboratory (“BV Lab”) in Perth Australia successfully replicated the positive on-site results subsequent to the yearend. BV Lab testwork included samples from diamond drilling at Buffalo Reef pits BRC2, BRC3, BRC4 and BR North and proved that the Selinsing on-site laboratory test results are repeatable in a commercial laboratory

for fresh and transition ore. BV Lab fresh ore results reported gold concentrate at an average 34 g/t at a gold recovery in the low to mid-90s percent and transition ore had an average concentrate gold grade of 42.5 g/ with gold recoveries between 80-82 percent.

Based on the successful test results, Orway Mineral Consultants (“OMC”) was engaged to modify and optimize the flotation conceptual engineering design based on the Snowden feasibility study work (February 2019), in order to produce salable gold concentrates as the first stage of the Sulphide treatment plant expansion strategy. This Sulphide Flotation Circuit Design includes flotation testwork parameters, process design criteria, circuit modelling, engineering design brief and consumables estimates. Subsequent to the yearend, Minecore Pty Ltd advanced the detailed engineering design. Layout of the new flotation plant has been completed, including the trash screen, conditioners, rougher, scavenger and cleaner flotation cells, concentrate and water recovery thickeners and filter press. Procurement of long lead

equipment is well advanced with quotations received for flotation cells, thickeners, blowers, compressors and filter presses.

At Selinsing, additional development work was carried out including: an underground mining desktop study, Tailing Storage Facility (“TSF”) lift construction to 540m RL, and mining cutback and testwork for oxide mining assessment at Peranggih.

14 MURCHISON GOLD PROJECT

The Murchison Gold Projects comprises the Burnakura, Gabanintha as well the Tuckanarra property in which Monument has a 20% free carry interest. All are located within the Murchison Mineral Field, which is a highly prospective historical gold province within the Murchison District of Western Australia.

At the Burnakura site there is a fully operational 260k tonne per annum gold processing plant, a developed mine camp, and all necessary infrastructures. The Murchison properties include a number of open pit and underground opportunities with current and historical resources that are prospective for resource extension and regional exploration potential. The Company has systematically been endeavoring to convert the historical resources into current resources under NI43-101 standards. In addition, a new exploration program has commenced to potentially discover new resources on high quality structural gold targets to potentially increase the current resources and improve the economics for a gold production operation.

DEVELOPMENT

At Murchison, development work focused on optimizing regional exploration to test new high quality structural targets beneath cover for potential mineralization that may lead to the identification of shallow stand alone or satellite gold deposits to supplement the current resource base, as well as assess the opportunity for early production.

The mine plan was completed by management and the independent review conducted by SRK Consulting (“SRK”) was received with recommendations. The scope of the SRK review was extended to cover geotechnics, hydrology, environmental compliance, as well as resource modelling, mining optimization and scheduling, and metallurgical recoveries.

Tuckanarra Joint Venture (“JV”)

In October 2020 Monument entered into a JV arrangement with Odyssey Gold Ltd. (“Odyssey”) to advance the Tuckanarra Gold Project, and in December 2020 sold an 80% interest in Tuckanarra to Odyssey for AUD$5 million subject to certain conditions, leaving Monument with a 20% free carried interest and a 1% NSR royalty over Odyssey’s 80% interest in the property. Odyssey will be solely responsible for funding the exploration and evaluation activities at Tuckanarra until a decision to mine is reached. The future processing of ore from tenements held by Odyssey through the Burnakura plant remains an option should commercial terms be reached.

“ The strategy at Murchison is to explore for new gold resources to increase and define the Resource and improve the economics of the project, towards the goal of establishing Murchison as a cornerstone project.”

MONUMENT MINING ANNUAL REPORT 2021

EXPLORATION

The Company commenced work on a 2-year exploration strategy designed to test beneath cover for potential mineralization that is aimed to lead to the discovery of shallow stand alone or satellite gold deposits aiming to add significant additional resources to the current resource base. The strategy will involve testing down dip of high-grade mineralization underneath existing pits as well as test some of the high priority regional targets through Greenfield exploration of the land package at Burnakura and Gabanintha.

An evaluation is being done on the potential for the 170km2 highly prospective land holding to host such a gold system examining: structurally targeted extensional drilling along strike and beneath the known deposits, geochemical anomalous zones of outcropping mineralized systems previously identified through soil sampling and drilling, and geophysical and remote sensing data for structural targets beneath shallow cover.

“ The Monument exploration team is excited to begin drilling after extensive work to identify high quality targets at the Murchison Gold Project.”

A large proportion of the Murchison Gold Project land holding has limited outcropping prospective Archean Greenstone geology with a younger cover sequence of Tertiary lateritic material and transported sheet wash ranging from 1 metre to 20 metres thick concealing the bedrock resulting in these areas having not effectively been explored despite having prospective host lithologies and structural settings.

Subsequent to the yearend, the Company commenced the first stage of drilling, planning for 18,000 metres combined AC and RC drilling. Drill targets include: south-southwest of Munro Bore to test the mineralization system, Banderol South to test if the trend continues south from the Banderol open pit, Junction Area to better define basement geology and test beneath cover.

To aid this exploration strategy the Company is integrating and evaluating historical data (geology, geophysical, and geochemical) collected by various companies over the past 50 years to identify high potential target areas distal to known deposits or beneath cover. The targeted areas are to be evaluated as part of this ongoing exploration program using on the ground exploration techniques including soil sampling, aircore “AC” drilling, reverse circulation (“RC”) drilling, and geological mapping as appropriate to test for indications of significant gold mineralization.

19 SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

In the fiscal year, our communities were under continuous threat from the Covid-19 pandemic and we put our employee safety as priority number one and as a result local social activities were limited. In Malaysia, a nationwide standard operating procedure (“SOP”) for dealing with the pandemic was imposed, including physical distancing, temperature screening, regular testing and contact tracing. Public schools were closed, and education was focused on online learning. With strict SOP and limited social programs, the communities surrounding the Selinsing gold mine recorded very few positive cases.

The Selinsing Gold Mine has hosted an internship program for students from the institute of higher learning annually, however due to the pandemic situation the educational and third-party visits were halted in the first half of 2021, but will continue when such time as the Covid-19 situation improves to the point where these internship visits can take place safely. During this pandemic period, support has been given to the front line workers, community policing and contributions to those directly affected by the pandemic.

----- End of picture text -----

During the 4th quarter of fiscal 2021, the operations for Selinsing Gold Mine were affected by the mine shutdown from May 22nd until May 30th 2021, by the Ministry of Health for sanitization purposes caused by three Selinsing staff that were infected by the Covid-19 virus as well as broader measures by the Malaysian National Security Council that imposed lockdowns from June 1st until July 4th 2021 for all non-essential business that includes the mining and mineral processing industry.

Critical maintenance work was allowed to be carried out during the lockdown period including: mine slope maintenance and repair, process plant and TSF upkeep, environmental monitoring, and mitigation work. The process plant was allowed to be in warm-idling mode with scheduled inspections and repair work, and workforce capacity was reduced to 10%. The environmental monitoring

program, water sampling, detoxification, and maintenance of the silt trap were carried out to ensure the site was safe and well looked after during the shutdown period. At a later stage in the lockdown, the Mineral Geosciences Department allowed 50 personnel to be working at the site to undertake critical maintenance work.
