Operations

Significant Litigation Proceedings - Dispute with Polish Government

The Company’s Claim against the Republic of Poland is being prosecuted through an established and enforceable legal framework, with Prairie and Poland agreeing to apply the UNCITRAL rules to the proceedings.

Both the BIT and ECT claim Tribunals have been constituted, with both Claim's being registered with the Permanent Court of Arbitration in the Hague. The BIT and ECT claim proceedings proceed at pace, with the Company now having filed a Claim for compensation against Poland with the Tribunal in the amount of £806 million (A$1.5 billion / PLN 4.2 billion), which includes an assessment of the value of Prairie’s lost profits and damages related to both the JKM and Debiensko mines, and accrued interest related to any damages. The Claim for damages has been assessed by external quantum experts appointed by Prairie specifically for the purposes of the Claim.

In July 2020, the Company announced it had executed a LFA for US$12.3 million with Litigation Capital Management ( LCM ). The facility is currently being drawn down to cover legal, tribunal and external expert costs and defined operating expenses associated with the Claim.

In September 2020, Prairie announced that it had formally commenced with the Claim by serving the Notices of Arbitration against the Republic of Poland.

Prairie’s dispute alleges that the Republic of Poland has breached its obligations under the applicable Treaties through its actions to block the development of the Company’s Jan Karski and Debiensko mines in Poland which effectively deprives Prairie of the entire value of its investments in Poland.

In February 2019, Prairie formally notified the Polish Government that there exists an investment dispute between Prairie and the Polish Government. Prairie’s notification called for prompt negotiations with the Government to amicably resolve the dispute and indicated Prairie’s right to submit the dispute to international arbitration in the event of the dispute not being resolved amicably. The Company remains open to resolving the dispute with the Polish Government amicably. However, as of the date of this report, no amicable resolution of the dispute has occurred, since the Polish Government has declined to participate in discussions related to the dispute and accordingly the Company has formerly submitted its Claim as discussed above.

Prairie’s investment dispute with the Republic of Poland is not unique, with international media widely reporting that the political environment and investment climate in Poland has deteriorated since the change in Government in 2015. As a result, there have been a significant number of International Arbitration claims being brought against Poland in the natural resources and energy sectors with damages claims ranging from US$120 million to over US$1.3 billion and includes Bluegas NRG Holding (Gas), Lumina Copper (Copper) and InvEnergy (wind farms).

Corporate

Business Development

A number of opportunities have been reviewed during the year, and the Company will continue in its efforts to identify and acquire suitable new business opportunities. The Company is currently focusing on new opportunities in the resources sector.

However, no agreements have been reached or licences granted, and the Company is not able to assess the likelihood or timing of a successful acquisition or grant of any opportunities.

Share Purchase Plan

During the year, the Company completed a SPP to raise A$4 million before costs for working capital requirements and business development opportunities.

Results of Operations

The net loss of the Consolidated Entity for the year ended 30 June 2021 was $879,388 (2020: $3,307,600). Significant items contributing to the current year loss and the substantial differences from the previous financial year include:

• (i) Arbitration related costs of $4,048,329 (2020: $906,036) relating to the Claim against Republic of Poland. This has been offset by the arbitration funding income of $4,070,724 (2020: $906,036);

• (ii) Sale of land rights at Debiensko of $640,409 (2020: nil);

(Continued)

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW (Continued)

Results of Operations (Continued)

• (iii) Exploration and Evaluation expenses of $824,247 (2020: $1,854,827), which is attributable to the Group’s accounting policy of expensing exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred by the Group subsequent to the acquisition of rights to explore and up to the commencement of a bankable feasibility study for each separate area of interest, which relates to legal and permitting expenditure and payments to consultants in Poland;

• (iv) Business development expenses of $256,380 (2020: $299,241) which includes expenses relating to the Group’s review of new business and project opportunities plus also investor relations activities during the year including digital marketing and business development consultant costs;

• (v) Non-cash share-based payment reversal of $548,745 (2020: expense of $163,613) due to incentive securities issued to key management personnel and other key employees and consultants of the Group as part of the long-term incentive plan to reward key management personnel and other key employees and consultants for the long-term performance of the Group. The expense results from the Group’s accounting policy of expensing the fair value (determined using an appropriate pricing model) of incentive securities granted on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the options and rights. During the year, 6.23 million performance rights did not vest and lapsed with $661,876 being reversed from the reserve to profit and loss; and

• (vi) Revenue of $297,875 (2020: $456,726) consisting of interest income of $23,203 (2020: $60,423) and the receipt of $274,672 (2020: $396,303) of gas and property lease income derived at Debiensko.

Financial Position

At 30 June 2021, the Company had cash reserves of $4,774,968 (2020: $2,566,518). With the US$12.3 million LFA arbitration facility (US$8.9 million available for drawdown at 30 June 2021), the Company is in a strong financial position to continue with the Claim and business development activities.

At 30 June 2021, the Company had net assets of $5,684,113 (2020: $3,998,552), an increase of 42% compared with the previous year. This is largely attributable to the increase in cash reserves, following the completion of the SPP, and small decrease in trade and other payables.

Business Strategies and Prospects for Future Financial Years

Prairie’s strategy is to create long-term shareholder value. This now includes pursuing the Claim against the Republic of Poland through international arbitration.

As discussed throughout this report, various measures directed against Prairie by the Polish government in breach of Polish and international law with respect to the Company’s permitting process and licenses, have blocked Prairie’s pathway to any future production from its Polish projects.

To achieve its objective, the Group currently has the following business strategies and prospects:

• Continue to enforce its rights through an established and enforceable legal framework in relation to international arbitration for the investment dispute between Prairie and the Polish Government that has arisen out of certain measures taken by Poland in breach of the Treaties;

• Continue to assess corporate options for Prairie’s investments in Poland; and

• Identify and assess other suitable business opportunities in the resources sector.

All of these activities are inherently risky 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. Furthermore, Prairie will continue to take all necessary actions to pursue the Company’s legal rights regarding its investments in Poland, if and as required. The material business risks faced by the Group that could have an effect on the Group’s future prospects, and how the Group manages these risks, include the following:

• Litigation risk – All industries, including the mining industry, are subject to legal and arbitration claims. Specifically, and as noted above, the Company formally commenced its Claim following lodgement of its notices of arbitration with against the Republic of Poland. Prairie will strongly defend its position and continue to take all relevant actions to pursue its legal rights regarding both the Debiensko and JKM projects. There is however no certainty that the Claim will be successful. If the Claim is unsuccessful, then this may have a material impact on the value of the Company’s securities.

4 Prairie Mining Limited ANNUAL REPORT 2021

==> picture [115 x 23] intentionally omitted <==

• The Company may be adversely affected by fluctuations in foreign exchange – Current and planned activities are predominantly denominated in Stirling and/or Euros and the Company’s ability to fund these activates may be adversely affected if the Australian dollar continues to fall against these currencies. The Company currently does not engage in any hedging or derivative transactions to manage foreign exchange risk. As the Company’s operations change, this policy will be reviewed periodically going forward.

• The Company may not successfully acquire new projects – the Company may pursue and assess other new business opportunities in the resources sector. These new business opportunities may take the form of direct project acquisitions, joint ventures, farm-ins, acquisition of tenements/permits, or direct equity participation. The Company’s success in its acquisition activities depends on its ability to identify suitable projects, acquire them on acceptable terms, and integrate the projects successfully, which the Company’s Board is experienced in doing. However, there can be no guarantee that any proposed acquisition will be completed or be successful. If a proposed acquisition is completed the usual risks associated with a new project and/or business activities will remain.

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)

This Remuneration Report, which forms part of the Directors’ Report, sets out information about the remuneration of Key Management Personnel (“KMP”) of the Group.

Details of KMP

Details of the KMP of the Group during or since the end of the financial year are set out below:

Current Directors Mr Ian Middlemas Chairman Mr Benjamin Stoikovich Director and CEO Ms Carmel Daniele Non-Executive Director Mr Mark Pearce Non-Executive Director

Former Directors Mr Thomas Todd Non-Executive Director (resigned 30 July 2021) Mr Todd Hannigan Alternate Director (resigned 5 February 2021) Other KMP Mr Simon Kersey Chief Financial Officer Mr Dylan Browne Company Secretary

Unless otherwise disclosed, the KMP held their position from 1 July 2020 until the date of this report.

Remuneration Policy

The Group’s remuneration policy for its KMP has been developed by the Board taking into account the size of the Group, the size of the management team for the Group, the nature and stage of development of the Group’s current operations, and market conditions and comparable salary levels for companies of a similar size and operating in similar sectors. In addition to considering the above general factors, the Board has also placed emphasis on the following specific issues in determining the remuneration policy for KMP:

• (a) the Group is currently focused on undertaking exploration, appraisal and development activities;

• (b) risks associated with small cap resource companies whilst exploring and developing projects; and

• (c) other than profit which may be generated from asset sales, the Company does not expect to be undertaking profitable operations until sometime after the commencement of commercial production on any of its projects.

Executive Remuneration

The Group’s remuneration policy is to provide a fixed remuneration component and a performance-based component (short term incentive and long term incentive). The Board believes that this remuneration policy is appropriate given the considerations discussed in the section above and is appropriate in aligning executives’ objectives with shareholder and business objectives.

Fixed Remuneration

Fixed remuneration consists of base salaries, as well as employer contributions to superannuation funds and other non-cash benefits. Non-cash benefits may include provision of car parking and health care benefits.

Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Board. The process consists of a review of company and individual performance, relevant comparative remuneration externally and internally and, where appropriate, external advice on policies and practices.

Performance Based Remuneration – Short Term Incentive (“STI”)

Some executives are entitled to an annual cash incentive payment upon achieving various key performance indicators (“KPI’s”), as set by the Board. Having regard to the current size, nature and opportunities of the Company, the Board has determined that these KPI’s will include measures such as successful commencement and/or completion of exploration activities (e.g. commencement/completion of exploration programs within budgeted timeframes and costs), establishment of government relationship (e.g. establish and maintain sound working relationships with government and officialdom), development activities (e.g. completion of infrastructure studies and commercial agreements), corporate activities (e.g. recruitment of key personnel and representation of the company at international conferences) and business development activities (e.g. corporate transactions and capital raisings).

Performance Based Remuneration – Short Term Incentive (“STI”) (Continued)

These measures were chosen as the Board believes they represent the key drivers in the short and medium-term success of the Company’s development. On an annual basis, and subsequent to year end, the Board assesses performance against each individual executive’s KPI criteria. During the 2021 financial year, no cash incentive (2020: nil) was paid, or is payable, to KMP.

Performance Based Remuneration – Long Term Incentive

The Group has adopted a long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) comprising the grant of Performance Rights and/or Incentive Options to reward KMP and key employees and contractors for long-term performance of the Company. Shareholders approved the renewal of a Performance Rights Plan” (the “Plan”) on 17 August 2017.

To achieve its corporate objectives, the Group needs to attract, incentivise, and retain its key employees and contractors. The Board believes that grants of Performance Rights and/or Incentive Options to KMP will provide a useful tool to underpin the Group's employment and engagement strategy.

(i) Performance Rights

The Group has a Plan that provides for the issuance of unlisted Performance Rights which, upon satisfaction of the relevant performance conditions attached to the Performance Rights, will result in the issue of an Ordinary Share for each Performance Right. Performance Rights are issued for no consideration and no amount is payable upon conversion thereof.

The Plan enables the Group to: (a) recruit, incentivise and retain KMP and other key employees and contractors needed to achieve the Group's business objectives; (b) link the reward of key staff with the achievement of strategic goals and the long-term performance of the Group; (c) align the financial interests of participants of the Plan with those of Shareholders; and (d) provide incentives to participants of the Plan to focus on superior performance that creates Shareholder value.

Performance Rights granted under the Plan to eligible participants will be linked to the achievement by the Company of certain performance conditions as determined by the Board from time to time. These performance conditions must be satisfied in order for the Performance Rights to vest. The Performance Rights also vest where there is a change of control of the Company. Upon Performance Rights vesting, Ordinary Shares are automatically issued for no consideration. If a performance condition of a Performance Right is not achieved by the expiry date then the Performance Right will lapse.

During the financial year, nil Performance Rights were granted to certain KMP. 6,225,000 Performance Rights previously granted to KMP and key employees were forfeited during the financial year.

(ii) Incentive Options

The Group has in the past also chosen to issue Incentive Options to some KMP and key employees and contractors as part of their remuneration and incentive arrangements in order to attract and retain them and to provide an incentive linked to the performance of the Company.

The Board’s policy is to grant Incentive Options to KMP with exercise prices at or above market share price (at the time of agreement). As such, any Incentive Options granted to KMP are generally only of benefit if the KMP performed to the level whereby the value of the Group increased sufficiently to warrant exercising the Incentive Options granted.

Other than service-based vesting conditions (if any), there are generally no additional performance criteria attached to any Incentive Options granted to KMP, as given the speculative nature of the Group’s activities and the small management team responsible for its running, it is considered that the performance of the KMP and the performance and value of the Group are closely related.

The Company prohibits executives entering into arrangements to limit their exposure to Incentive Options and Performance Rights granted as part of their remuneration package.

10 Prairie Mining Limited ANNUAL REPORT 2021

==> picture [115 x 23] intentionally omitted <==

During the financial year, no Incentive Options were granted to KMP and key employees. No Incentive Options were exercised by KMP during the financial year. No Incentive Options previously granted to KMP lapsed during the financial year.

During the year and following the LFA with LCM being signed, the Company established a Management Incentive Program (“MIP”) which is a LTIP to retain key company personnel who have important historical information and knowledge to contribute towards the Claim. The MIP provides that if the Claim is successful and the Company receives damages proceeds, 6% of these proceeds will be directed to the MIP for distribution to its participants. The MIP requires that each participant must satisfy specific Claim related duties and if they do so, each participant may be entitled to a pre-defined percentage of the proceeds received by the MIP. In this regard, of the 6% of any future Claim proceeds, Mr Stoikovich (or his nominee personal services entity) will be entitled to 30% of the MIP distribution (i.e. 30% of the 6% Claim proceeds), Mr Kersey (or his nominee personal services entity) will be entitled to 20% of the MIP distribution (i.e. 20% of the 6% Claim proceeds), Mr Pearce and Mr Browne will each be entitled to 7.5% of the MIP distribution (i.e. 7.5% of the 6% Claim proceeds). The remaining 35% of the MIP distribution has been allocated to other key staff who will contribute to the Claim.

Non-Executive Director Remuneration

The Board’s policy is for fees to Non-Executive Directors to be no greater than market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. Given the current size, nature and risks of the Company, Incentive Options may also be used to attract and retain Non-Executive Directors. The Board determines payments to the Non-Executive Directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required.

The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to Non-Executive Directors is subject to approval by shareholders at a General Meeting. Director’s fees paid to Non-Executive Directors accrue on a daily basis. Fees for Non-Executive Directors are not linked to the performance of the economic entity. However, to align Directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the Directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company and given the current size, nature and opportunities of the Company, Non-Executive Directors may receive Incentive Options in order to secure and retain their services.

Fees for the Chairman were set at $36,000 per annum (2020: $36,000) (excluding post-employment benefits).

Fees for Non-Executive Directors’ were set at $20,000 per annum (2020: $20,000) (excluding post-employment benefits). These fees cover main board activities only. Non-Executive Directors may receive additional remuneration for other services provided to the Company, including but not limited to, membership of committees.

During the 2021 financial year, no Incentive Options or Performance Rights were granted to Non-Executive Directors.

The Company prohibits Non-Executive Directors entering into arrangements to limit their exposure to Incentive Options granted as part of their remuneration package.

Relationship between Remuneration of KMP and Shareholder Wealth

During the Company’s exploration and development phases of its business, the Board anticipates that the Company will retain earnings (if any) and other cash resources for the exploration and development of its resource projects. Accordingly, the Company does not currently have a policy with respect to the payment of dividends and returns of capital. Therefore, there was no relationship between the Board’s policy for determining, or in relation to, the nature and amount of remuneration of KMP and dividends paid and returns of capital by the Company during the current and previous four financial years.

The Board did not determine, and in relation to, the nature and amount of remuneration of the KMP by reference to changes in the price at which shares in the Company traded between the beginning and end of the current and the previous four financial years. Discretionary annual cash incentive payments are based upon achieving various nonfinancial key performance indicators as detailed under “Performance Based Remuneration – Short Term Incentive” and are not based on share price or earnings. However, as noted above, certain KMP may receive Incentive Options in the future which generally will be of greater value to KMP if the value of the Company’s shares increases sufficiently to warrant exercising the Incentive Options.

Relationship between Remuneration of KMP and Earnings

As discussed above, the Company is currently undertaking exploration and development activities, and does not expect to be undertaking profitable operations (other than by way of material asset sales, none of which is currently planned) until sometime after the successful commercialisation, production and sales of commodities from one or more of its projects. Accordingly, the Board does not consider earnings during the current and previous four financial years when determining, and in relation to, the nature and amount of remuneration of KMP.

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies adopted in preparing the financial report of Prairie Mining Limited (“Prairie” or “Company”) and its consolidated entities (“Consolidated Entity” or “Group”) for the year ended 30 June 2021 are stated to assist in a general understanding of the financial report.

Prairie Mining is a Company limited by shares incorporated and domiciled in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”), the London Stock Exchange and the Warsaw Stock Exchange.

The financial report of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2021 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors.

(a) Basis of Preparation

The financial report is a general purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (“AASBs”) and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (“AASB”) and the Corporations Act 2001 . The Group is a for-profit entity for the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements.

The financial report has been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial liabilities which have been measured at fair value. The financial report is presented in Australian dollars.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

(b) Statement of Compliance

The financial report complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

In the current year, the Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual reporting period.

New and revised standards and amendments thereof and interpretations effective for the current reporting period that are relevant to the Group include:

• AASB 2018-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Definition of a Business;

• AASB 2018-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Definition of Material;

• 2019-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – References to the Conceptual Framework; and

• • Conceptual Framework and Financial Reporting.

The adoption of these new and revised standards has not resulted in any significant changes to the Group's accounting policies or to the amounts reported for the current or prior periods.

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet effective have not been adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2021. Those which may be relevant to the Group are set out in the table below, but these are not expected to have any significant impact on the Group's financial statements as detailed overpage.

(c) Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of the Company as at 30 June 2021 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended.

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company, using consistent accounting policies. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Company.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions and balances, income and expenses and profits and losses between Group companies, are eliminated.

(d) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

(e) Trade and Other Receivables

Trade receivables are initially recognised at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised costs amount less any expected credit loss (“ECL”).

Receivables from related parties are initially recognised at fair value and measured at amortised cost and are interest free.

The Group’s trade and other receivables includes GST and other taxes receivables, interest receivable and security deposits.

(f) Financial Assets

(i) Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (“OCI”), and fair value through profit or loss.

The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics and the Group’s business model for managing them. The Group initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, less transaction costs.

(ii) Subsequent measurement

For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:

• Financial assets at amortised cost;

• Financial assets at fair value through OCI with recycling of cumulative gains and losses (not relevant to the Group);

22 Prairie Mining Limited ANNUAL REPORT 2021

==> picture [115 x 23] intentionally omitted <==

• Financial assets designated at fair value through OCI with no recycling of cumulative gains and losses upon derecognition (equity instruments – not relevant to the Group); and

• Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (equity instruments – not relevant to the Group).

Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments)

The Group measures financial assets at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:

• The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and

• The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding

Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest rate (“EIR”) method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired.

Impairment

The Group recognises an allowance for ECLs for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original EIR. ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL).

For receivables due in less than 12 months, the Group recognises a loss allowance based on the financial asset’s lifetime ECL at each reporting date.

Given the nature of financial assets held by the Group, it considers a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Group is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Group. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost are credit impaired. A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.

(g) Property, Plant and Equipment

(i) Recognition and measurement

Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Such cost includes the cost of replacing parts that are eligible for capitalisation when the cost of replacing the parts is incurred. Similarly, when each major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement only if it is eligible for capitalisation. All other repairs and maintenance are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and other Comprehensive Income as incurred.

(ii) Depreciation

Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis on all property, plant and equipment.

	2021	2020
Major depreciation periods (per annum) are:
Buildings:	2% - 40%	2% - 40%
Plant and equipment:	22% - 40%	22% - 40%

The assets' residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end.

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(g) Property, Plant and Equipment (Continued)

• (iii) Derecognition

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Impairment of property, plant and equipment are discussed in note 1(r).

(h) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure

Expenditure on exploration and evaluation is accounted for in accordance with the 'area of interest' method.

Exploration and evaluation expenditure encompasses expenditures incurred by the Group in connection with the exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources before the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource are demonstrable.

For each area of interest, expenditure incurred in the acquisition of rights to explore is capitalised, classified as tangible or intangible, and recognised as an exploration and evaluation asset. Exploration and evaluation assets are measured at cost at recognition and are recorded as an asset if:

• (i) the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and

• (ii) at least one of the following conditions is also met:

• the exploration and evaluation expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; and

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

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred by the Group subsequent to acquisition of the rights to explore is expensed as incurred, up to costs associated with the preparation of a feasibility study.

Impairment

Capitalised exploration costs are reviewed each reporting date to establish whether an indication of impairment exists. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the capitalised exploration costs is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in previous years.

Where a decision is made to proceed with development, accumulated expenditure is tested for impairment and transferred to development properties, and then amortised over the life of the reserves associated with the area of interest once mining operations have commenced. 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.

(i) Payables

Liabilities are recognised for amounts to be paid in the future for goods and services received. Trade accounts payable are normally settled within 30 days. Payables are carried at amortised cost.

(j) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

24 Prairie Mining Limited ANNUAL REPORT 2021

==> picture [115 x 23] intentionally omitted <==

(k) Financial Liabilities

(i) Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings (amortised cost) or payables.

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.

(ii) Subsequent measurement

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:

Amortised cost liabilities

This is the category most relevant to the Group. After initial recognition, amortised cost liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are then recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process.

Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit or loss.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

This is the category least relevant to the Group. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term.

Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in AASB 9 Financial Instruments are satisfied.

(iii) Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

(l) Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognised when control of goods is transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods.

Interest revenue is recognised as it accrues, taking into account the effective yield on the financial asset.

(m) Income Tax

The income tax expense for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the national income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to unused tax losses.

Prairie Mining Limited ANNUAL REPORT 2021 25

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 (Continued)

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(m) Income Tax (Continued)

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively enacted at balance date for each jurisdiction. The relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences to measure the deferred tax asset or liability. An exception is made for certain temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability. No deferred tax asset or liability is recognised in relation to these temporary differences if they arose on goodwill or in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.

Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each balance date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against tax liabilities and the deferred tax liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

Tax consolidation

Prairie Mining Limited and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime. Each entity in the tax consolidated group recognises its own current and deferred tax liabilities, except for any deferred tax assets resulting from unused tax losses and tax credits, which are immediately assumed by the Company (which is the head entity in the tax consolidated group). The current tax liability of each group entity is then subsequently assumed by the Company. The tax consolidated group has entered a tax sharing agreement whereby each company in the Group contributes to the income tax payable in proportion to their contribution to the net profit before tax of the tax consolidated group.

(n) Employee Entitlements

Provision is made for the Group's liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within 12 months have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs. Employee benefits payable later than 12 months have been measured using the projected unit credit valuation method.

(o) Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to members of the Company for the reporting period, after excluding any costs of servicing equity, by the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares of the Company, adjusted for any bonus issue.

Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the basic EPS earnings, adjusted by the after tax effect of financing costs associated with dilutive potential Ordinary Shares and the effect on revenues and expenses of conversion to Ordinary Shares associated with dilutive potential Ordinary Shares, by the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares and dilutive Ordinary Shares adjusted for any bonus issue.

26 Prairie Mining Limited ANNUAL REPORT 2021

==> picture [115 x 23] intentionally omitted <==

(p) 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 Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.

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

(q) Acquisition of Assets

A group of assets may be acquired in a transaction which is not a business combination. In such cases the cost of acquisition is allocated to the individual identifiable assets (including intangible assets that meet the definition of and recognition criteria for intangible assets in AASB 138) acquired and liabilities assumed on the basis of their relative fair values at the date of purchase.

(r) Impairment of non-current Assets

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that a non-current asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset's value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash-generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

In assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

An assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount.

That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset's revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.

(s) Fair Value Estimation

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price; the appropriate quoted market price for financial liabilities is the current ask price.

The net carrying value of trade receivables and payables are short term in nature and approximate their fair values. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments.

(t) Issued and Unissued Capital

Ordinary Shares and unissued milestone shares are classified as equity. Issued and paid up capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Company. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 (Continued)

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(u) Foreign Currencies

• (i) Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of each of the Group's entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the Company's functional and presentation currency.

(ii) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Nonmonetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the Statement Profit or Loss and other Comprehensive Income.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in equity, otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the other Comprehensive Income.

(iii) Group companies

The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the Group's presentation currency are translated as follows:

• assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date;

• income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and

• items of equity are translated at the historical exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.

Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred to the group's foreign currency translation reserve in the Statement of Financial Position. The accumulated difference is reclassified in the Statement of Profit or Loss and other Comprehensive Income in the period in which the operation is disposed.

(v) Share-Based Payments

Equity-settled share-based payments are provided to officers, employees, consultants and other advisors. These share-based payments are measured at the fair value of the equity instrument at the grant date. Fair value is determined using the Binomial option pricing model. Further details on how the fair value of equity-settled sharebased payments has been determined can be found in Note 17.

The fair value determined at the grant date is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Company's estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest. At each reporting date, the Company revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in profit or loss over the remaining vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to the option premium reserve.

Equity-settled share-based payments may also be provided as consideration for the acquisition of assets. Where Ordinary Shares are issued, the transaction is recorded at fair value based on the quoted price of the Ordinary Shares at the grant date. The acquisition is then recorded as an asset or expensed in accordance with accounting standards. Unvested incentive securities that lapse when non-market conditions are not met are reversed from the share-based payment reserve to the Statement of Profit or Loss.

(w) Arbitration facility income

Arbitration facility income is recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the LFA and the benefits will be received. Arbitration facility income is recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the entity recognises as expenses the related arbitration costs for which the income is intended to compensate.

28 Prairie Mining Limited ANNUAL REPORT 2021

==> picture [115 x 23] intentionally omitted <==

(x) Use and Revision of Accounting Estimates, Judgements and Assumptions

The preparation of the financial report requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

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

• Share-Based Payments (Note 17) - The Group initially measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instrument at the date at which they are granted. Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires the determination of the most appropriate valuation model. This estimate also requires the determination of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share option, volatility and dividend yield. The assumption and models used for estimating the fair value for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 17.

• Functional currency of foreign operations (Note 20(h)) - determination of the functional currency of foreign subsidiaries requires judgement regarding the primary currency of labour, material and exploration spend in that subsidiary.

• the conditions for deductibility imposed by tax legislation continue to be complied with; and

• no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Group in realising the benefit.

(d) Tax Consolidation

The Company and its wholly-owned Australian resident entities have formed a tax consolidated group and are therefore taxed as a single entity. The head entity within the tax consolidated group is Prairie Mining Limited.

Total Contributed Equity		79,332,108	75,476,543

Note:

• 1 On 2 July 2017, Prairie and CD Capital completed an investment of US$2.0 million (A$2.6 million) in the form of the non-redeemable, noninterest-bearing convertible Loan Note 2. The Loan Note 2 is convertible into ordinary shares of Prairie at an issue price of A$0.46 per share and is accounted for as equity (in full).

Other key terms of the Loan Note 2 include the following:

• Loan Note 2 is non-interest bearing;

• Loan Note 2 is only repayable in an event of breach of the terms of the Loan Note 2 agreements;

• Loan Note 2 cannot be converted until after 1 April 2018 by either party;

• Prairie has the right, whilst no Event of Default exists, to convert all or part of the outstanding principal amount of Loan Note 2 into shares at the conversion price of $0.46 per share:

• in the event of an unconditional takeover of the Company (acquisition of a relevant interest in at least 50% of Prairie shares pursuant to a takeover bid or by an Australian court approving a merger by way of a scheme of arrangement); or

• at any time after 1 April 2018 provided that the 30 day VWAP of Prairie’s shares exceeds the conversion price of $0.46 per share.

• Loan Note 2 does not provide CD Capital with any right to participate in any new issues of securities.

• CD Capital has the right to convert all or part of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes into shares at the conversion price of $0.46 per share provided that:

• Loan Note 1 has been converted into Prairie shares (converted in 2018); and

• The CD Options have been exercised into Prairie shares (the CD Options expired on 30 May 2021).

• If the Company reorganises its capital structure, such as by subdividing or consolidating the number of its shares, conducts a prorata offer to existing shareholders or distributes assets or securities to Shareholders, then the conversion price of $0.46 of Loan Note 2 will be adjusted so that the number of Prairie shares received by CD Capital on conversion of Loan Note 2 is the same as if Loan Note 2 were converted prior to relevant event.

• The occurrence of an Event of Default entitles CD Capital to declare the principal amount of the Loan Note 2 immediately due and payable and exercise any other rights or remedies (including bringing proceedings) against the Company.

• Each of the following events is an "Event of Default" in relation to the Loan Note 2:

• If any representation or warranty made by Prairie is false or misleading which is reasonably likely to be a Material Adverse Effect, and if such breach is capable of remedy, it is not remedied within 45 days;

• If the Company breaches a covenant or condition of the Notes or associated agreements which is a Material Adverse Effect, and if such breach is capable of remedy, it is not remedied within 45 days;

• An Insolvency Event occurs (i.e. winding up) in relation to the Group;

• If the Group ceases to carry on a business; or

• If the Group does not maintain the listing and trading of its shares on at least one of the ASX, LSE or WSE.

• CD Capital may assign, transfer or encumber in whole or in part (in amounts of at least A$1 million) its rights under Loan Note 2 to any third party by giving written notice to Prairie provided the third party has provided a deed of assumption. Assignment of Loan Note 2 will not result in the assignment of the rights and obligations under the subscription agreement or the investment agreement.

• • A Material Adverse Effect means a material adverse effect on:

• the Company or PDZ Holding's ability to perform any of their obligations under Loan Note 2, the and all other Transaction Document;

• the validity or enforceability of a Transaction Document; or

• the assets, business, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or operations of the Group.

• • An Insolvency Event in relation to the Group means: o An order being made, or the Group passing a resolution, for its winding up.

(c) Rights Attaching to Ordinary Shares

The rights attaching to fully paid Ordinary Shares arise from a combination of the Company's Constitution, statute and general law.

Ordinary Shares issued following the exercise of Incentive Options in accordance with Note 11(c) or the conversion of Performance Rights in accordance with Note 11(d) will rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Ordinary Shares.

Copies of the Company's Constitution are available for inspection during business hours at the Company's registered office. The clauses of the Constitution contain the internal rules of the Company and define matters such as the rights, duties and powers of its shareholders and directors, including provisions to the following effect (when read in conjunction with the Corporations Act 2001 or Listing Rules).

(i) Shares

The issue of shares in the capital of the Company and options over unissued shares by the Company is under the control of the Directors, subject to the Corporations Act 2001, ASX Listing Rules and any rights attached to any special class of shares.

(ii) Meetings of Members

Directors may call a meeting of members whenever they think fit. Members may call a meeting as provided by the Corporations Act 2001. The Constitution contains provisions prescribing the content requirements of notices of meetings of members and all members are entitled to a notice of meeting. A meeting may be held in two or more places linked together by audio-visual communication devices. A quorum for a meeting of members is two shareholders.

The Company holds annual general meetings in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the Listing Rules.

(iii) Voting

Subject to any rights or restrictions at the time being attached to any shares or class of shares of the Company, each member of the Company is entitled to receive notice of, attend and vote at a general meeting. Resolutions of members will be decided by a poll.

On a poll each eligible member has one vote for each fully paid share held and a fraction of a vote for each partly paid share determined by the amount paid up on that share.

34 Prairie Mining Limited ANNUAL REPORT 2021

==> picture [115 x 23] intentionally omitted <==

(iv) Changes to the Constitution

The Company's Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of the members present and voting at a general meeting of the Company. At least 28 days' written notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.

(v) Listing Rules

Provided the Company remains admitted to the Official List, then despite anything in its Constitution, no act may be done that is prohibited by the Listing Rules, and authority is given for acts required to be done by the Listing Rules. The Company's Constitution will be deemed to comply with the Listing Rules as amended from time to time.

20. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

(a) Overview

The Group's principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables, cash and short-term deposits. The main risks arising from the Group's financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk and foreign currency risk.

This note presents information about the Group's exposure to each of the above risks, its objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital. Other than as disclosed, there have been no significant changes since the previous financial year to the exposure or management of these risks.

The Group manages its exposure to key financial risks in accordance with the Group's financial risk management policy. Key risks are monitored and reviewed as circumstances change (e.g. acquisition of a new project) and policies are revised as required. The overall objective of the Group's financial risk management policy is to support the delivery of the Group's financial targets whilst protecting future financial security.

Given the nature and size of the business and uncertainty as to the timing and amount of cash inflows and outflows, the Group does not enter into derivative transactions to mitigate the financial risks. In addition, the Group's policy is that no trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken for the purposes of making speculative gains. As the Group's operations change, the Directors will review this policy periodically going forward.

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing the Group's financial risks as summarised below.

(b) Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. This arises principally from cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. There are no significant concentrations of credit risk within the Group. The carrying amount of the Group's financial assets represents the maximum credit risk exposure, as represented below:

	2021	2020
	$	$
Cash and cash equivalents	4,774,968	2,566,518
Trade and other receivables	1,329,336	1,631,500

20. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (Continued)

(b) Credit Risk (Continued)

With respect to credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents, the Group's exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counter party, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. Where possible, the Group invests its cash and cash equivalents with banks that are rated the equivalent of investment grade and above. The Group’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties.

The Group does not have any significant customers and accordingly does not have significant exposure to bad or doubtful debts.

Trade and other receivables comprise other receivables, interest accrued and GST refunds due. Receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group’s exposure to impairment is not significant. At 30 June 2021, none (2020: none) of the Group’s receivables are impaired.

(c) Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Board's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that the Group will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due. At 30 June 2021 and 2020, the Group had sufficient liquid assets to meet its financial obligations.

The contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments, are provided below. There are no netting arrangements in respect of financial liabilities.

1,872,304	166,981	-	- 2,039,285

(d) Interest Rate Risk

The Group's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the cash and short-term deposits with a variable interest rate.

These financial assets with variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. All other financial assets and liabilities, in the form of receivables and payables are non-interest bearing.

At the reporting date, the Group's exposure to variable interest rates was:

Deposits at Call	-	1,500,000
	4,774,968	2,566,518

The Group's cash at bank and on hand and short term deposits had a weighted average floating interest rate at year end of 0.49% (2020: 0.59%).

The Group currently does not engage in any hedging or derivative transactions to manage interest rate risk.

Interest rate sensitivity

A sensitivity of 1% (100 basis points) has been selected as this is considered reasonable given the current level of both short term and long term interest rates. A 1% (100 basis points) movement in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased/(decreased) Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency rates, remain constant. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2020.

(e) Commodity Price Risk

The Group has no exposure to commodity price risk on its financial instruments at 30 June 2021. No hedging or derivative transactions have been used to manage commodity price risk.

(f) Capital Management

The Group defines its Capital as total equity of the Group, being $5,684,113 as at 30 June 2021 (2020: $3,998,552). The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while financing the development of its projects through primarily equity based financing. The Board's policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Given the stage of development of the Group, the Board's objective is to minimise debt and to raise funds as required through the issue of new shares.

The Group is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

There were no changes in the Group's approach to capital management during the year. During the next 12 months, the Group will continue to explore project financing opportunities, primarily consisting of additional issues of equity.

20. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (Continued)

(g) Fair Value

The Group uses various methods in estimating the fair value of a financial instrument. The methods comprise:

• Level 1 – the fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets.

• Level 2 – the fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).

• Level 3 – the fair value is estimated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

At 30 June 2021 and 30 June 2020, the carrying value of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair value.

(h) Foreign Currency Risk

The Group has transactional currency exposures. Such exposure arises from transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the entity.

The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk throughout the current and prior year primarily arose from controlled entities of the Company whose functional currency is the Polish Zloty (“PLN”).

It is the Group’s policy not to enter into any hedging or derivative transactions to manage foreign currency risk. However, the Group does hold some PLN cash and cash equivalents to fund its planned Polish operations over the next 12 months, given the majority of the Group’s expenditure over this period is expected to be in PLN.

At the reporting date, the Group’s exposure to financial instruments denominated in foreign currencies was:

			Total Equivalent

Cash and cash equivalents	2,074,948	4,048,844	4,774,968

Independent auditor’s report to the members of Prairie Mining Limited

Report on the audit of the financial report

Opinion

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

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

• a. Giving a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2021 and of its consolidated financial performance for the year ended on that date; and

• b. 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.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, but we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit

included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying financial report.

1. Carrying value of property, plant and equipment

Why significant

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

As disclosed in Note 6, as at 30 June 2021, the Group held property, plant and equipment of $2,009,783 which represented 25% of the total assets held by the Group at that date. $1,821,393 of the above total relates to an office building and mining hall, located at the Debiensko mine site, Poland which was impaired in the prior year. The site continues to be non- operational following the denial of Poland’s Ministry of Environment to amend the Company’s mining permit application to commence production at Debiensko subsequent to 1 January 2018. In determining whether the carrying value of the Debiensko office building and mining hall continued to be recoverable at 30 June 2021, management utilised a fair value less cost of disposal approach, determined by an independent valuer and an assessment of comparable property transactions. Based on this assessment no impairment was recognised. Due to the significance to the Company’s financial report and the degree of judgement involved in assessing the recoverable value, this was considered a key audit matter.

We performed the following procedures, amongst others: ► Obtained and reviewed the independent valuation and management’s assessment of current property market movements. ► EY Real Estate Advisory Specialists undertook the following procedures: ► Assessed management’s expert’s competency ► Tested the appropriateness of the applied valuation methodology ► Examined comparable property transactions and assessed against the carrying values at 30 June 2021. ► Assessed the adequacy of the disclosure included in the financial report.

2. Provision for the protection against mining damage at Debiensko

Why significant	How our audit addressed the key audit matter
As disclosed in Note 9, as at 30 June 2021, the Group held a provision for the protection against mining damage at Debiensko mine of $458,990.	We performed the following procedures, amongst others: ► Considered and assessed the Group’s method of identifying and quantifying

Why significant

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

The Group has, following the receipt of legal advice regarding its obligations to fund these damages, concluded that no liability exists for mining damage subsequent to the denial of Poland’s Ministry of Environment to amend the Company’s mining permit application to commence production at Debiensko. The quantum of the provision for mining damages has been determined through reference to received applications relating to the claimable events that occurred prior to 1 January 2018. $75,022 has been classified as current based on the quantum of applications filed with the court with the remaining balance being classified as non-current. Given the degree of judgment involved in determining whether the Group’s obligation to fund claims for mining damage ceased from 1 January 2018, this was considered a key audit matter.

mining damage claims received up to 1 January 2018. ► Tested the new claims received to supporting documentation. ► Assessed the scope, objectivity and competence of the Group’s legal counsel providing the advice not to recognise any mining damage claims after 1 January 2018. ► Assessed the adequacy of the steps implemented by the Group on the advice of legal counsel to mitigate the risk of further mining damage claims being made. ► Verified the adopted classification as current and non-current based on supporting documentation. ► Assessed the adequacy of the disclosure included in the financial report.

Information other than the financial report and auditor’s report thereon

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company’s 30 June 2021 Annual Report but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of the Remuneration Report and our related assurance opinion.

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 Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating 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 have 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.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors

• Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation

• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.

From the matters communicated to the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current year and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

==> picture [115 x 23] intentionally omitted <==

Prairie Mining Limited and the entities it controls believe corporate governance is important for the Company in conducting its business activities.

The Board of Prairie has adopted a suite of charters and key corporate governance documents which articulate the policies and procedures followed by the Company. These documents are available in the Corporate Governance section of the Company’s website, www.pdz.com.au. These documents are reviewed annually to address any changes in governance practices and the law.

The Company’s Corporate Governance Statement 2021, which explains how Prairie complies with the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s ‘Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations – 4th Edition’ in relation to the year ended 30 June 2021, is available in the Corporate Governance section of the Company’s website, www.pdz.com.au and will be lodged with ASX together with an Appendix 4G at the same time that this Annual Report is lodged with ASX.

In addition to the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s ‘Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations – 4th Edition’ the Board has taken into account a number of important factors in determining its corporate governance policies and procedures, including the:

• relatively simple operations of the Company, which is focused on developing its two coal properties;

• cost verses benefit of additional corporate governance requirements or processes;

• size of the Board;

• Board’s experience in the relevant sector;

• organisational reporting structure and number of reporting functions, operational divisions and employees;

• relatively simple financial affairs with limited complexity and quantum;

• relatively moderate market capitalisation and economic value of the entity; and

• direct shareholder feedback.
