MRG Metals Ltd Consolidated Financial Statements 30 June 2021

Review of Operations

MRG Metals is pleased to provide a summary of its activities for the 2021 financial year at its Heavy Mineral Sands (HMS) projects in southern Mozambique.

Corridor Projects

MRG Metals’ Corridor Central (6620L) tenement comprises 179km[2] covering palaeodunes known to host significant HMS mineralisation. Historic aircore drill holes show a very large, high-grade HMS mineralised zone with down hole total heavy mineral (THM) grades up to 14% THM. The high THM grade in the historic holes begins at surface and extends to at least 60m depth, extending over an area of 5.5km x 1.2km.

Corridor South (6621L) tenement comprises 208km[2] covering palaeodunes also known from historic drilling to host significant HMS mineralisation. At Corridor South, a large, high grade mineralised zone with down hole THM grades up 7.4% extending over an area of 6.5km x 4.5km.

MRG is on track to succeed in its stated Exploration Strategy of discovering potential mine startup HMS deposits as demonstrated through successful aircore programs at Koko Massava, Nhacutse and Poiombo, detailed below.

Ongoing work throughout the year has the Company rapidly advancing to deliver three Mineral Resource Estimates across the very high grade Koko Massava, Nhacutse and Poiombo targets.

Aircore Drilling - Koko Massava

A 34-hole infill aircore drilling program carried out at the Koko Massava prospect identified two very high grade zones, based on visual estimation (VIS EST). The two very high-grade zones, located between the towns of Malahice and Koko Massava, sit within an Inferred Resource portion of the larger maiden Koko Massava Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE), (refer ASX Announcements 22 April 2020 and 10 March 2021).

The Inferred Resource (1,133 Mt @ 5.3% THM and 16% Slimes) contains some 60 Mt of THM with a Valuable Heavy Mineral (VHM) assemblage of 42% ilmenite, 7% Ti ilmenite/titanomagnetite, 2% zircon, 1% rutile, 1% leucoxene and 0.2% monazite. A titanomagnetite content of 27% is not included as VHM at this stage but this is being reviewed given the increase in iron prices.

The targeted drilling program at Koko Massava confirmed the Group’s belief that within the massive Koko Massava footprint lies significant high-grade mineralisation from surface, including valuable pockets of very high grade. MRG aims to identify more than 100 million tonnes (MT) of potential early mine life, high-grade feed.

Drill holes in both zones consistently show VIS EST grades of more than 6% THM, with a combined surface footprint of the zones of approximately 1.8km[2] .

Grade in excess of 10% THM (VIS EST) exists in individual or multiple 1.5m intervals in 21 of the holes, with further potential demonstrated to expand both of these very high grade zones laterally and at depth.

Representative material from the drilling will also be used for additional mineral assemblage investigations to augment previous studies associated with the maiden MRE. The drilling allows the Group to commission an updated MRE and JORC compliant resource report for Koko Massava.

Aircore Drilling – Poiombo

MRG completed an aircore program comprising six infill holes at Poiombo. A very high-grade zone showing visually estimated grades of >6% THM over a surface footprint approaching 1km[2] was identified, with a drill hole spacing less than 300m, with high-grade mineralisation remaining open at depth.

This drilling program has consolidated and improved earlier high-grade drilling results at Poiombo (refer ASX Announcements 19 June 2020, 9 October 2020 and 30 November 2020). The drilling focused on an area west of the town of Poiombo (Figures 3 & 4), previously identified as anomalous by MRG aircore and hand auger drilling. A high-grade mineralised area of approximately 0.84km[2] has now been confirmed.

The results compel a MRE to be undertaken in the September 2021 Quarter, leading to further potential mine development initiatives.

Aircore Drilling – Nhacutse

A 16-hole infill/extension aircore program Nhacutse, successfully expanding the surface footprint of the Nhacutse very high grade mineralisation to a zone of 4km[2] . The success of this program confirms Nhacutse as a high potential mine start-up opportunity for MRG, through the potential delivery of an MRE with well in excess of the target 100 Mt, at THM grades higher than the foundation Koko Massava JORC Resource. Prior to this program, Nhacutse was interpreted to contain two smaller, discrete zones of similar very high grade (refer ASX Announcement 6 April 2021).

Mineralisation remains open in all directions, including at depth. Mineralisation in all holes is from surface, with significantly thick intersections with VIS EST >6% THM mineralisation in some holes; with hole 21CSAC729 for example demonstrating VIS EST THM of 6.1% over 58.5m from surface.

Leapfrog 3D Modelling

During the year, preliminary findings of 3D Leapfrog models conducted for the Koko Massava deposit in the Corridor Central (6620L) licence and for the Nhacutse and Poiombo deposits in the Corridor South (6621L) licence were reported by the Company.

8

MRG Metals Ltd Consolidated Financial Statements 30 June 2021

The results from the Leapfrog modelling indicate that MRG is well on its way to defining three high to very high grade MREs across Koko Massava, Nhacutse and Poiombo. All three deposits demonstrate the potential to deliver higher grades than the Company’s original MRE at Koko Massava.

The 3D modelling was commissioned by MRG to better understand and interpret the lithological controls on mineralisation (Table 4, with volumes and grades bound to interpreted lithological units) and to understand the distribution of the mineralisation itself. The modelling demonstrated the strike, width and depth continuity of the high grade and very high grade mineralisation.

The results compel MREs to be undertaken for Koko Massava, Nhacutse and Poiombo with the goal to establish 100Mt of Resource with grades higher than that of the maiden Koko Massava MRE (1,423 Mt @ 5.2% THM).

Koko Massava Leapfrog Model

A recent aircore drilling program was undertaken at the very high grade zone between the towns of Koko Massava and Malahice (refer ASX Announcement 10 May 2021). The analytical results for this drilling program are still outstanding, but the drilling returned excellent VIS EST THM results. The Leapfrog modelling confirmed this area has excellent strike (up to 3km), width (two zones, one approximately 1.6km and the other approximately 0.9km) and depth (>60m from surface) continuity to the high and very high grade mineralisation (>5% THM). The modelling showed the very large tonnages associated with this area within the Koko Massava deposit (Table 4). Mineralisation from surface is, apart from the high and very high grades at surface, nearly exclusively in the 3-5% THM range.

Nhacutse Leapfrog Model

Two aircore drilling programs were undertaken at the very high grade zone north and northeast of the towns of Nhacutse (refer ASX Announcements 6 April 2021 and 29 June 2021). The analytical results for both programs are awaited and the model is thus preliminary. However, the drilling here returned excellent VIS EST THM results, showing that the larger zone is still open towards the northeast, west and southeast.

The Leapfrog modelling confirmed this area has excellent strike (approximately 2.9km for the northern zone and approximately 1.2km for the northeastern zone; Figures 5), width (approximately 1km and 0.5km each) and depth (up to 60m from surface) continuity to the high and very high grade mineralisation (>5% THM). It also confirmed interpretations made after the second drilling program that the previously interpreted two separate zones could be one very high grade zone (refer ASX Announcement 29 June 2021). The modelling showed the large tonnages associated with this area within the Nhacutse deposit (Table 4). Mineralisation from surface is, apart from the high and very high grades at surface, nearly exclusively in the 3-5% THM range.

Poiombo Leapfrog Model

An aircore drilling program was undertaken at the very high grade zone west of the town of Poiombo (refer ASX Announcement 17 May 2021). The analytical results for this drilling program are awaited, while the drilling here also returned excellent VIS EST THM results from surface for this zone. The Leapfrog modelling confirmed this area has excellent strike (approximately 1.8km) and width (approximately 0.7km) and depth up to 60m from surface and continuity of high to very high grade mineralisation (>5% THM). The modelling showed encouraging tonnages associated with this zone within the Poiombo deposit (Table 4). Mineralisation from surface is, apart from the high and very high grades at surface, exclusively in the 3-5% THM range in this area.

Marão and Marruca Projects

The Marão (6842L) and Marruca (6846L) projects are contiguous and comprise a total area of 385km[2] with approximately 75km of strike of interpreted palaeo coastline. Rio Tinto undertook shallow auger reconnaissance exploration on a small portion of the Marão project, but beyond that no other work appears to have been undertaken on either project.

The historic Rio Tinto laboratory data indicates that auger holes contain grades of 1.5%-2.0% THM from surface to a maximum of 10.5m down hole, ending in 2% THM. The more significant drill results include 9m @ 2.85%THM, with slimes typically 10% or less.

MRG’s auger drilling at the Marão (6842L) HMS licence has identified three high grade targets to date: - Magonde (reported in Q1 2021, Refer ASX Announcement 30 April 2021), Mandende and Maduacua (Figure 9).

At Marão, MRG completed 138 of the planned 391 reconnaissance auger holes (Figure 10, 35% of planned grid auger drilling program completed).

MRG has provided three Marão market updates which covered:

  • 53 reconnaissance grid (500m X 1000m spaced) hand auger holes for a total of 621.5m (21MUAC086 to ‘138) and the discovery of the Maduacua Target (refer ASX Announcement 8 July 2021 – post quarter)

  • 60 holes and the discovery of the Mandende Target (refer ASX Announcement 18 June 2021)

  • The initial 25 auger holes and the discovery of the Magonde Target (refer ASX Announcement 18 March 2021)

The Mandende Target

The Mandende target remains open in the north. In MRG’s most recent update, holes 21MUHA092, ‘093 and ‘094 drilled demonstrated VIS EST grades of 3.2% THM, 3.7% THM and 3.6% THM respectively, therefore increasing the area of the Mandende Target from >9 sq km to >11 sq km (having been originally reported to comprise a surface footprint of >9 km2 of visually estimated (VIS EST) +3% Total Heavy Mineral (THM), from 19 auger holes to 13.5m, ASX Announcement 18[th] June 2021.)

Further smaller targets that will be followed up with additional drilling have also been generated, hole 21MUAC0121 for instance returned VIS EST 6.3% THM from surface to 13.5m and is still open at depth.

The new Maduacua Target displays the best VIS EST THM grades discovered at Marão to date.

Twelve auger holes have demonstrated VIS EST THM grades of >3% THM per hole, showing the excellent potential of this target to be the next very high grade deposit for MRG. Of these holes:

  • 2 holes have VIS EST 4.0 – 4.9% THM;

  • 5 holes have VIS EST 5.0 – 6.0% THM;

  • Hole 21MUHA126 with VIS EST 6.7% THM from surface to 13.5m; and

  • Hole 21MUHA131 with VIS EST 6.9% THM from surface to 13.5m.

Individual 1.5m interval VIS EST THM grades as high as VIS EST 9% THM was intersected (Figure 11). The Maduacua Target remains open towards the North and has an area currently of >6 sq km (Figure 9). All the holes within the Maduacua Target were mineralised from surface and still in mineralisation at end of drilling depth, several holes had VIS EST THM grades of >5% at the end of drilling depth, with 4 holes (21MUAC126, ‘130, ‘131 and ‘132) in VIS EST >6% THM at the final drilling interval.

The Maduacua target remains open at depth. Auger drilling at Marão is continuing on the reconnaissance grid. Mineralogical studies are ongoing from composite HMC samples from the auger drilling, which is following up on very encouraging initial mineralogical investigations from grab samples at two road quarry sites (Figure 9, Quarry 1 and Quarry 2) within the Marão licence. The investigation showed encouraging up to 50.05% VHM content (Ilmenite, Altered Ilmenite, Rutile and Zircon) results from Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM, refer ASX Announcement 27 April 2021) A significant percentage of the HMC (up to 8.36%) is represented by Andalusite, the Zircon content of 3.12% is also relatively high compared to MRG’s Koko Massava deposit (refer ASX Announcement 22 April 2020).

The Magonde Target

The first HMS mineralised target identified at Marão was the Magonde target, identified through 9 hand auger holes returning VIS EST THM of >3% THM.

The Magonde target was drilled to depths of between 13.0 and 13.5m, with the mineralisation identified from surface. The target area covers a total area of +5 sq km. Within the target area, the two highest VIS EST THM holes, 21MUHA014 with VIS EST 4.3% THM to 13.5m and 21MUHA015 with VIS EST 5.1% THM to 13.5m, clearly demonstrating the significant potential for higher grade mineralisation to be identified. The holes remained in mineralisation at the end of drilling, highlighting the prospectivity for additional deeper lying mineralisation.

African Renaissance Pipeline Project

MRG formally submitted its expression of interest to utilise the proposed African Renaissance Pipeline Project (ARP), for the supply of natural gas feedstock to the MRG assets via pipeline and grid source electricity for its power and heat conversion needs.

The ARP looks to address the lack of pipeline infrastructure to deliver natural gas to consumers within Mozambique, South Africa and neighbouring countries in the Southern Africa Development Community. The ARP will also feed several other major industrial and infrastructure investments, including the Chongoene Deep-water Seaport, associated railway, eco-industrial and a clean energy park project, which are being developed in the coming years, as part of the Chongoene Development Corridor Project (CDC). (See ASX Announcement 6 August 2020).

MRG has been encouraged by the progress African Renaissance Pipeline Limitada (ARPL) (ARP Project Company and Developer) is making and notes the significance of this project to its heavy mineral sands assets, given that access to adequate and reliable energy supply is often a hurdle many junior exploration companies hit on their growth and development path to becoming major miners.

  • Field activities at the Company’s Mozambique Heavy Mineral Sands Portfolio

  • Further project Development

  • General working capital

In February 2021, MRG successfully completed a $2,106,000 Placement through the issue of 162 million fully paid ordinary shares at $0.013 per share, together with 162 million attaching listed options, exercisable at $0.025 (expiring 30 June 2023) (MRQOC) to sophisticated and professional investors.

  • Field activities at the Group’s Mozambique Heavy Mineral Sands Portfolio

  • Further project Development

  • General working capital.

Change of Auditor

Following an audit tender process, MRG appointed William Buck Audit [VIC] Pty Ltd (William Buck) as auditor of the Group. This appointment follows the resignation of Grant Thornton Audit Pty Ltd (Grant Thornton), and ASIC's consent to the resignation in accordance with s329(5) of the Corporations Act 2001.

Under the tender process, the Group considered length of tenure and costs associated with the audit, with a view to reduce costs of the external auditor where possible. The Board strongly believes that the appointment of William Buck is in the best interests of the Group and its shareholders.

In accordance with s327C of the Corporations Act 2001, William Buck will hold office until the next Annual General Meeting at which shareholders will formally approve the new auditor.

Management Changes

MRG appointed Kobus Badenhorst, from the consulting company GeoActiv, to the role of Country ManagerExploration, Mozambique, effective 12 October 2020.

Kobus is a South African-based senior geologist and an established expert in Heavy Mineral Sands (HMS) exploration. He was involved with the original Corridor Sands exploration programs carried out by Southern Mining in the early 2000s and spent three years managing all aspects of the exploration work at the project. He has also in recent years, been involved in HMS exploration in the district around MRG’s Corridor Central and Corridor South Projects, thus he brings substantial knowledge gained from these projects to MRG.

Through his consulting company GeoActiv, Kobus manages HMS projects and acts as Qualified Person on projects in Sri Lanka (Titanium Sands Limited, ASX:TSL) and as part of a team acts as Qualified Person for aspects of the Roodeheuwel Project in the west coast of South Africa (Zirco Resources SA Holding Ltd).

He brings with him access to a wider skill set in Resource Geology, Metallurgy and Mineralogy. MRG is confident that the current long lead times from field sampling to laboratory reporting will be shortened by his localised leadership.

The outbreak of the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is impacting global economic markets. The nature and extent of the effect of the outbreak on the performance of the Group remains unknown. The Company’s Share price may be adversely affected in the short to medium term by the economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19. Further, any governmental or industry measures taken in response to COVID-19 may adversely impact the Group’s operations and are likely to be beyond the control of the Group.

COVID-19 safe work practices have and will continue to be adopted in relation the Group’s operations, however, COVID-19 restrictions on movement and activities may adversely affect the Group’s operations.

The Directors are monitoring the outbreak of COVID-19 closely and have considered the impact of COVID-19 on the Group’s business. However, the situation is continually evolving, and the consequences are therefore inevitably uncertain. The Group was able to carry out a safe full exploration program during the year.

MRG Metals Ltd Consolidated Financial Statements 30 June 2021

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

1 Nature of operations The activities of MRG Metals Ltd and its controlled entities, MRG Metals (Australia) Pty Ltd, MRG Metals (Exploration) Pty Ltd, Sofala Resources Pty Ltd, Trophosys Pty Ltd, Sofala Mining & Exploration Lda, Sofala Mining & Exploration I Lda, Sofala Mining & Exploration II Lda, Sofala Mining & Exploration III Lda, Sofala Mining & Exploration IV Lda, Sofala Mining & Exploration V Lda, Sofala Mining & Exploration VI Lda, Sofala Mining & Exploration VII Lda, Sofala Mining & Exploration VIII Lda, Sofala Mining & Exploration IX Lda and Sofala Mining & Exploration X Lda are exploration and development of heavy mineral sands in Mozambique.

2 General information and statement of compliance The consolidated general purpose financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards results in full compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

MRG Metals Ltd is the Group's ultimate parent company. MRG Metals Ltd is a public company incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2021 were approved and authorised for issue by the board of directors on 30 September 2021 (see note 26).

3 New Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current reporting period. The adoption of these Accounting Standards did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the Group.

4 Summary of accounting policies

4.1 Overall considerations

The significant accounting policies that have been used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are summarised below.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the measurement bases specified by Australian Accounting Standards for each type of asset, liability, income and expense. The measurement bases are more fully described in the accounting policies below.

The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Group’s presentation currency.

4.2 Basis of measurement

Going Concern

The Group recorded a loss after tax of $665,660 and net cash outflows from operating and investing activities were $2,007,007 for the year ended 30 June 2021. The Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2021 was as follows:

  • The Group had available cash reserves of $1,610,733;

  • The Group’s current assets of $1,824,905 exceed current liabilities of $127,040 by $1,697,865;

==> picture [423 x 62] intentionally omitted <==

48

MRG Metals Ltd Consolidated Financial Statements 30 June 2021

  • The Group’s main activity is exploration and as such it does not presently have a source of operating income, rather it is reliant on equity raisings or funds from other external sources to fund its activities.

  • Current forecasts indicate that cash on hand as at 30 June 2021 will not be sufficient to fully fund the planned exploration and operational activities during the next twelve months.

The Group’s position as at 31 August 2021 was as follows:

  • The Group had available cash reserves of $1,247,358;

  • The Group continued to have a positive working capital position; and

  • There have been no material changes to the Group’s liabilities or non-cancellable commitments since 30 June 2021.

The Directors are confident that the Group will be able to secure sufficient funds or reduce or defer expenditure to ensure that the Group can meet essential operational and expenditure commitments for at least the next twelve months.

Accordingly, the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2021 have been prepared on a going concern basis as, in the opinion of the Directors, the Group will be in a position to continue to meet its essential operating costs and pay its debts as and when they fall due for at least twelve months from the date of this report.

However, the Directors recognise that if further funding is required and is not subsequently secured, the outcome of which is uncertain until such funding is secured, there is a material uncertainty as to whether the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate. As a result, the Group may be required to relinquish title to certain tenements, significantly curtail further expenditures and may have to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business and at amounts different from those stated in the financial report.

The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic may impact on the Group’s ability to continue on a going concern basis. However, no significant COVID-19 impacts have been felt by the Group to date. The Group has been able to continue exploration and raise equity.

4.3 Basis of consolidation

The Group financial statements consolidate those of the parent company and its subsidiary undertakings drawn up to 30 June 2021. The parent controls a subsidiary if it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary. All subsidiaries have a reporting date of 30 June.

All transactions and balances between Group companies are eliminated on consolidation, including unrealised gains and losses on transactions between Group companies. Amounts reported in the financial statements of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group.

Profit or loss and other comprehensive income of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are recognised from the effective date of acquisition, or up to the effective date of disposal, as applicable.

4.4 Segment reporting

Operating segments are presented using the ‘management approach’, where information is presented on the same basis as the internal reports provided to chief operating decision makers, being the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors are responsible for the allocation of resource to operating segments and assessing their performance.

49

MRG Metals Ltd Consolidated Financial Statements 30 June 2021

4.5 Revenue

Interest income is recognised on an accrual basis using the effective interest method.

4.6 Operating expenses

Operating expenses are recognised in profit or loss upon utilisation of the service or at the date of their origin.

4.7 Exploration and evaluation

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit or loss in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.

A regular review for impairment is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.

4.8 Income taxes

Tax expense recognised in profit or loss comprises the sum of deferred tax and current tax not recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current income tax assets and/or liabilities comprise those obligations to, or claims from, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) and other fiscal authorities relating to the current or prior reporting periods, that are unpaid at the reporting date. Current tax is payable on taxable profit, which differs from profit or loss in the financial statements. Calculation of current tax is based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. However, deferred tax is not provided on the initial recognition of goodwill, or on the initial recognition of an asset or liability unless the related transaction is a business combination or affects tax or accounting profit. Deferred tax on temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures is not provided if reversal of these temporary differences can be controlled by the Group and it is probable that reversal will not occur in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated, without discounting, at tax rates that are expected to apply to their respective period of realisation, provided they are enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax liabilities are always provided for in full.

Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be able to be utilised against future taxable income.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only when the Group has a right and intention to set off current tax assets and liabilities from the same taxation authority.

Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognised as a component of tax income or expense in profit or loss, except where they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income (such as the revaluation of land) or directly in equity, in which case the related deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or equity, respectively.

MRG Metals Ltd Consolidated Financial Statements 30 June 2021

4.9 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, together with other short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

4.10 Other Receivables

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any impairment.

4.11 Trade Payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial period and which are unpaid. Due to their short term nature they are measured at amortised cost and not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

4.12 Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of MRG Metals Ltd, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial period, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial period.

Diluted earnings per share adjust the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

4.13 Equity

Share capital represents the nominal value of shares that have been issued. Any transaction costs associated with the issuing of shares are deducted from share capital, net of any related income tax benefits.

Retained earnings include all current and prior period retained profits.

4.14 Post employment benefits

The Group provides post employment benefits through various accumulation funds.

An accumulation fund is a superannuation fund under which the Group pays fixed contributions into an independent entity. The Group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions after its payment of the fixed contribution. Contributions to the funds are recognised as an expense in the period that relevant employee services are received.

4.15 Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

Provisions are recognised when present obligations as a result of a past event will probably lead to an outflow of economic resources from the Group and amounts can be estimated reliably. Timing or amount of the outflow may still be uncertain. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present obligation, based on the most reliable evidence available at the reporting date, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. Provisions are discounted to their present values, where the time value of money is material.

All provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.

Possible inflows of economic benefits to the Group that do not yet meet the recognition criteria of an asset are considered contingent assets.

51

MRG Metals Ltd Consolidated Financial Statements 30 June 2021

4.16 Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.

Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST components of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

4.17 Significant management judgement in applying accounting policies

The following are significant management judgements in applying the accounting policies of the Group that have the most significant effect on the financial statements.

Deferred tax assets/Tax losses

The assessment of the probability of future taxable income in which deferred tax assets can be utilised is based on the Group's latest approved budget forecast, which is adjusted for significant non-taxable income and expenses and specific limits to the use of any unused tax loss or credit. The tax rules in the numerous jurisdictions in which the Group operates are also carefully taken into consideration. If a positive forecast of taxable income indicates the probable use of a deferred tax asset, especially when it can be utilised without a time limit, that deferred tax asset is usually recognised in full. The recognition of deferred tax assets that are subject to certain legal or economic limits or uncertainties is assessed individually by management based on the specific facts and circumstances.

The Group has not recognised a deferred tax asset with regard to unused tax losses and other temporary differences, as it has not been determined whether the Company will generate sufficient taxable income against which the unused tax losses and other temporary differences can be utilised in the foreseeable future.

Estimation uncertainty

When preparing the financial statements management undertakes a number of judgements, estimates and assumptions about recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.

The actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management, and will seldom equal the estimated results.

Information about significant judgements, estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses is provided below.

Share based payments

Share based payments involve assumptions made by management regarding the date of recognition and application of market price. Refer Note 4.23.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

In March 2020, the World Health Organisation declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic, which continues to spread throughout Australia. The spread of COVID-19 has caused significant volatility in Australia and International markets. There is significant uncertainty around the breadth and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19, as well as its impact on the Australia and international economies. The longer term impacts of COVID-19 on the operations of the Group remain uncertain and cannot be quantified at this time.

MRG Metals Ltd Consolidated Financial Statements 30 June 2021

Exploration and evaluation assets

At each reporting date, the directors review the carrying amount of each area of interest, with reference to the indicators of impairment outlined in AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources.

One or more of the following facts and circumstances indicate that an entity should test exploration and evaluation assets for impairment (the list is not exhaustive):

  • (a) the period for which the entity has a right to explore in the specific arear has expired during the period or will expire in the near future and is not expected to be renewed.

  • (b) substantive expenditure on further exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area is neither budgeted nor planned.

  • (c) exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area have not led to the discovery of commercially viable quantities of mineral resources and the entity has decided to discontinue such activities in the specific area.

  • (d) sufficient data exist to indicate that, although a development in the specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development or by sale.

4.18 Other intangible assets

Recognition of other intangible assets

When an intangible asset is disposed of, the gain or loss on disposal is determined as the difference between the proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, and is recognised in profit or loss within other income or other expenses.

4.19 Impairment testing of goodwill, other intangible assets and property, plant and equipment

For impairment assessment purposes, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are largely independent cash inflows (cash-generating units). As a result, some assets are tested individually for impairment and some are tested at cash-generating unit level. Goodwill is allocated to those cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from synergies of the related business combination and represent the lowest level within the Group at which management monitors goodwill.

All individual assets or cash-generating units are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s or cash-generating unit's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value-in-use. To determine the value-in-use, management estimates expected future cash flows from each cash-generating unit and determines a suitable interest rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. The data used for impairment testing procedures are directly linked to the Group's latest approved budget, adjusted as necessary to exclude the effects of future reorganisations and asset enhancements. Discount factors are determined individually for each cash-generating unit and reflect management’s assessment of respective risk profiles, such as market and asset-specific risks factors.

Impairment losses for cash-generating units reduce first the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to that cashgenerating unit. Any remaining impairment loss is charged pro rata to the other assets in the cash-generating unit. With the exception of goodwill, all assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously recognised may no longer exist. An impairment charge is reversed if the cash-generating unit’s recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount.

MRG Metals Ltd Consolidated Financial Statements 30 June 2021

4.20 Property, plant & equipment

(i) Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Any gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss.

(ii) Depreciation

Items of property, plant and equipment are depreciated from the date that they are installed and are ready for use. Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment.

The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:

• plant and equipment 2-20 years • motor vehicles 4-20 years Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

4.21 Asset held for sale

When the Group intends to sell a non-current asset or a group of assets (a disposal group), and if sale within 12 months is highly probable, the asset or disposal group is classified as ‘held for sale’ and presented separately in the statement of financial position.

Assets classified as ‘held for sale’ are measured at the lower of their carrying amounts immediately prior to their classification as held for sale and their fair value less costs to sell. Once classified as ‘held for sale’, the assets are not subject to depreciation or amortization.

Any profit or loss arising from the sale or re-measurement of discontinued operations is presented as part of a single line item, profit or loss from discontinued operations.

If an asset held for sale has not been sold within 12 months and a sale is not certain, then an impairment is charged against that asset.

4.22 Share based payments

All share-based remuneration is ultimately recognised as an expense in profit or loss with a corresponding credit to share option reserve. If vesting periods or other vesting conditions apply, the expense is allocated over the vesting period, based on the best available estimate of the number of share options expected to vest.

In addition equity settled share based payment transactions, the company shall measure the goods or services rendered and the corresponding increase in equity, directly at fair value of the goods or services received, unless that fair value cannot be estimated reliably.

The Company issued shares and options to a Manager in consideration for corporate advisory services, calculated on the same basis as the Placement in September 2020 (5,800,000 shares @ $0.006 and 5,800,000 free attaching options and 12,000,000 options).

The Company issued shares and options to a Manager in consideration for corporate advisory services, calculated on the same basis as the Placement in February 2021 (9,042,000 shares @ $0.013 and 9,042,000 free attaching options).

4.23 Foreign currency translation

The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Group's presentation currency.

MRG Metals Ltd Consolidated Financial Statements 30 June 2021

Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.

(i) Conversion of Class A Performance Rights (refer Note 9).

The recoverability of the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective areas of interest. The relinquishments represent the capitalised amounts written off during the period when ownership of the tenements is abandoned.

13 Asset held for sale

The Norrliden project is currently being marketed for sale. The Norrliden asset was previously recognised as a noncurrent exploration and evaluation asset. The asset held for sale is recognised at lower of the carrying value and fair value less cost to sell.

  • (a) Refer Note 4.22. If an asset held for sale has not been sold within 12 months and a sale is not certain, then an impairment is charged against that asset. The Company took the view that as a sale was not achieved in the last 12 months, then an impairment was made against the asset.

14 Income tax expense

The relationship between the expected tax expense based on the tax rate of MRG Metals Ltd and the reported tax expense in profit or loss can be reconciled as follows, also showing major components of tax expenses:

Profit/(loss) before tax
Expected tax expense/(benefit) @ 26.0% (2020 27.5%)
Adjustment for non-deductible expenses:
-
Movement in accruals
-
Impairment of asset held for sale
Current period tax (loss) not recognised
Deferred tax expense:
-
Temporary differences
-
Unused tax losses
Deferred tax assets not recognised

The above potential tax benefit has not been recognised as the recovery is uncertain. The carry forward tax losses at 30 June 2021 were $19,030,721.

The taxation benefit of tax losses and temporary differences not brought to account will only be obtained if:

  • the Group derives future assessable income of a nature and an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions for the losses to be realised;

  • the Group continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by law; and

  • no change in tax legislation adversely affects the Group in realising the benefits from deducting the tax losses.

The rights to options held by option holders have not been included in the weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purposes of calculating diluted EPS as they do not meet the requirements for the inclusion in AASB 133 “Earnings per Share”. The rights to options are non-dilutive as the Group is loss generating.

Exploration and evaluation:

In order to maintain current rights of tenure for exploration tenements, the Group is required to meet the minimum exploration requirements of the Mining Department. The Group holds four tenements in Mozambique, each year the Mozambique mining regulations require companies to submit exploration programs which indicate the expected mining expenditure for the year.

Mozambique New Mining Law Regulations require a minimum spend of 60% of the exploration program submitted for the year. The commitment for FY22 to FY25 is the Group’s estimated tenement expenses to be incurred for each licence at a rate of 60%, which is expected to be the best estimate of the required commitment.

21 Financial instrument risk

Risk management objectives and policies

The Group is exposed to various risks in relation to financial instruments. The main types of risks are market risk (including interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

The Group's risk management is carried out by the board of directors and focuses on actively securing the Group's short to medium-term cash flows by minimising the exposure to financial markets.

The Group does not engage in the trading of financial assets for speculative purposes nor does it write options. The most significant financial risks to which the Group is exposed are described below.

21.1 Foreign currency sensitivity

The Group's transactions during the year have been carried out in Australian Dollars, United States Dollars (USD), and Mozambican Meticals (MZN).

There is a risk that changes in foreign exchange rates will affect the Group’s income or amounts to be paid or received arising from its financial obligations. The Group’s objective of foreign currency risk management is to manage and control foreign currency risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.

The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk relates primarily to foreign exchange rates applicable to the Group’s foreign currency denominated obligations recognised in the balance sheet.

Foreign currency risk refers to the risk that the value of a financial commitment, recognised asset or liability will fluctuate due to changes in foreign currency rates. The primary foreign currency exposure is to the MZN and USD.

Management monitors the exposure to foreign exchange risk on an ongoing basis by regularly reviewing forward foreign exchange rates applicable to its foreign currency denominated obligations.

66

MRG Metals Ltd Consolidated Financial Statements 30 June 2021

The Group’s exposure to assets and liabilities to MZN at 30 June 2021 is set out below (Australian dollar equivalents):

Cash at Bank
Trade and other payables
Total exposure
30 June 2021

The Group’s exposure to assets and liabilities to USD at 30 June 2021 is set out below (Australian dollar equivalents):

Reported exchange rate
Cash at Bank
Total exposure
30 June 2021
0.7518
2,621
2,621

The table below shows the effect on profit after income tax expense and total equity from MZN currency exposures, had the rates been 10% higher or lower than the year end rate. Whilst directors cannot predict movements in foreign currency rates, a sensitivity of 10% is considered reasonable taking in to account the current level of exchange rates and the volatility observed on a historical basis.

Increase/(Decrease) Increase/(Decrease)
in profit after in Equity
income tax
Foreign exchange rates - 10% (1,062) (1,062)
Foreign exchange rates + 10% 1,062 1,062

21.2 Interest rate sensitivity

The Group's only exposure to interest rate risk is in relation to deposits held. Deposits are held with reputable banking financial institutions.

At 30 June 2021, there was $22,775 on deposit at 0.9% (Note 8).

An increase/decrease by 30% or 0.03 basis points would have a favourable/adverse effect on profit for the year of $61. The percentage change is based on the expected volatility of interest rates using market data and analysts’ forecasts.

21.3 Credit risk analysis

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty fails to discharge an obligation to the Group. The Group is exposed to minimal credit risk as its only exposure is to interest receivable and GST refunds.

21.4 Liquidity risk analysis

Liquidity risk is that the Group might be unable to meet its obligations. The Group manages its liquidity needs by monitoring actual and forecast cash inflows and outflows due in day-to-day business.

The Group's working capital, being current assets less current liabilities, at 30 June 2021 was $1,697,865.

The Directors are confident that the Group will be able to secure sufficient funds or reduce or defer expenditure to ensure that the Group can meet essential operational and expenditure commitments for at least the next twelve months.

Based on this, the directors are satisfied the Group will have sufficient funds to pay its debts as and when they fall due.

67

MRG Metals Ltd Consolidated Financial Statements 30 June 2021

The above amounts reflect the contractual undiscounted cash flows, which may differ to the carrying values of the liabilities at the reporting date. Unless otherwise stated, the carrying amounts of financial instruments reflect their fair values due to their short term nature.

22 Capital risk management

The Group’s objectives when managing capital is to ensure the Group's ability to continue as a going concern so that it can provide an adequate return to shareholders.

The Group would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business, company or tenement is seen as value adding.

23 Post-reporting date events

On 21 July 2021, 320,000,000 Class B performance rights expired.

During the financial year the Covid-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the local and international economies. Subsequent to balance date, Victoria has experienced a second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. The longer term impacts on the operations of the Group remain uncertain and cannot be quantified at this time.

There are no other events occurring since the end of the year that have, or may, significantly affect the Group’s operations, results of those operations or the state of affairs of the Group.

MRG Metals Limited

Independent auditor’s report to members

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of MRG Metals Limited (the Company and its subsidiaries (the Group)), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group, is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

  • (i) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2021 and of its financial performance for the year ended on that date; and

  • (ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 1 in the half-year financial report, which reports that the consolidated entity incurred a net loss after income tax of $665,660 and net cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $2,007,007 for the year ended 30 June 2021. As stated in Note 4.2, these events, or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 4.2 indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

==> picture [560 x 88] intentionally omitted <==

72

Other Matter

The financial report of MRG Metals Limited for the year ended 30 June 2020 was audited by another auditor, who expressed an unmodified opinion to that report.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

KEY AUDIT MATTER
Exploration and evaluation assets How our audit addressed it
During the year, additions to exploration and
evaluation assets in Mozambique totalled
$1.385m as detailed in Note 12.
Accounting for these costs require a significant
amount of judgements and estimates and there
is a risk that capitalisation of these costs may
not be appropriate.
The Group is also required to assess at each
reporting date if there are any triggers for
impairment which may suggest that the carrying
value is in excess of recovering value in
accordance with AASB 6_Exploration for and_
Evaluation of Mineral Resources.
Management is required to exercise judgement
in evaluating whether any impairment triggers
exist.
In order to meet this risk, our audit procedures
included the following:
⎯Reviewing the directors’ assessment of
the criteria for the capitalisation of
exploration expenditure and evaluation
of whether an impairment charge is
required;
⎯Understanding and vouching the
underlying contractual entitlement to
explore and evaluate each area of
interest, including an evaluation of the
Group’s renewal in that area of interest
at its expiry;
⎯Examining project spend per each area
of interest and comparing this spend to
budgeted expenditure;
⎯Agreeing a sample of expenditure
capitalised to underlying support and
ensuring that it is appropriately
recorded in accordance with AASB 6
and is directly attributable to that area of
interest;
⎯Evaluating management’s impairment
analysis which included the Group’s
analysis of recoverability of the carrying
value of the tenements; and
⎯From an overall perspective, comparing
the market capitalisation of the Group to
the net carrying value of its assets on
the statement of financial position to
identify any other additional indicators
of impairment.
We also assessed the adequacy of the Group’s
disclosures in respect of capitalised exploration
costs and the planned expenditures.

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 2021 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 the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material 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.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of these financial statements is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at:
